The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

In his memoirs in his later years, Steady wrote: Throughout the ten years of working in China, the most humiliating thing for me was being robbed by a gangster. This man's shooting skills were as fast as lightning, his words were humorous but often made people speechless, and his behavior was cruel and perverse. First, two of the groom's fingers were knocked off, and then I was tied to the roadside and a piece of wood was stuck behind my back. The words written on it were extremely ironic and insulting. I later learned that this practice is called: inserting bids and selling first! This person calls himself Cheng Kun, the thunderbolt player of Hunyuan. But later I took up the post of Consul General of the United States in Fengtian. After various investigations and evidence collection, I found out that this person should be the leader of a local private armed force.

…

Zhao Chuanxin was riding in the newly acquired four-wheel carriage.

This carriage has thin wheels, a small one at the back and a large one at the front. It has two horses. There are pedals next to the carport, and there are fixed wind lights at the front and rear for driving at night.

There is a leather sofa inside, which is quite soft to sit on.

It's just that I have to sit in the front when driving, but it's not comfortable, and the bumpy road has ups and downs.

But if you have already grabbed it, you will naturally not give it up.

Not only was the carriage robbed, but the other party's weapons, bullets, money, and the camera in the car were also taken away.

To be honest, no foreigner working in China is innocent.

After driving the carriage for a long time, I saw a group of people walking with their children and their daughters in tow.

Seeing a "luxury" carriage approaching, these people gave way in fear.

When they got closer, Zhao Chuanxin stopped the car.

"Are you hungry?"

The numb faces of this group of people showed a look of astonishment.

The adults didn't say anything, but a little girl said bluntly: "Hungry!"

This little girl had a round face, pointed bangs sticking forward, and big, watery eyes. This was the first time Zhao Chuanxin had seen such a cute little girl, especially since she didn't have her feet bound.

In Lugang Town, women must put their feet down and foot-binding is strictly prohibited.

There is no reason to argue. If you are not convinced, look at the gun in your hand before speaking.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of steamed bun from his pocket, leaned over and handed it to the little girl, and then said to these people: "There is a place where there is no war and no hunger. Are you willing to go?"

No one really believed it.

In an era of chaos, wouldn’t it be paradise without war and hunger?

Zhao Chuanxin casually took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket. The sparkle of the silver coins in the sun was intoxicating: "Do you want to? If you are willing to go there, I, Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, will support you with some money for travel expenses." .”

Finally, the crowd was in an uproar.

"really?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "It's more real than real gold."

After a while, he scattered the twenty silver dollars.

"I'll write you a note. If you encounter bandits, show it to them. If they can't read, tell them that it was Captain Zhao of the Lugang Town Insurance Team who asked you to go. Whoever dares to rob you, Captain Zhao, will settle the score with him. If there are any relatives or friends who want to escape the war, they should all go to Lugang Town to find a way to survive, and everyone should spread the news."

After watching this group of people leave, Zhao Chuanxin encountered several waves of fleeing people one after another.

Some want to go elsewhere, while others want to seek refuge in Shengjing.

No matter where he wanted to go, as long as he said he would go to Lugang Town, he would pay.

The boy-like behavior of scattering money quickly caused a wave of Lugang Town wind in a radius of more than 100 miles.

As the king of Liaodi Mountain, Du Lisan soon received the news.

What kind of Hunyuan thunderbolt Cheng Kun stole a large sum of money from the Japanese and robbed the Americans' carriages. Along the way, he became a money-splitting boy, giving money to the fleeing people everywhere and letting them take refuge in Lugang Town.

Du Lisan's third wife was astonished and asked: "Who is this Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, and who is the most famous person in Green Forest? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Just hearing the name Hunyuan Thunderbolt Player, Du Lisan felt that it had a strong flavor of someone.

After hearing about Lugang Town, he immediately understood. He said excitedly: "This person is the one I mentioned before, the captain of the insurance team in Lugangling Village, Zhao Chuanxin! He is very narrow-minded. , giving themselves random names every day, such as shooting stars chasing the moon and chasing cicadas in eight steps, Feng Xifan with a sword without blood, Great Master outside Guan..."

The third lady laughed loudly: "This man is very interesting. But how do you think he did it, swallowing thousands of Japanese dollars under their noses?"

Now, Du Lisan was a little unsure.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Maybe he really knows magic. Among so many names, only Guanwai Dianhong and Archmage are the most famous."

The third lady shook her head: "That's a vast ocean of white flowers. If you say it's for the people, just give it to the people. Tsk tsk."

…

Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhao Chuanxin was eating rice dumplings near Lushun Port and watching a big show.

The Russian warships in the harbor were organizing a breakout, while the four battleships outside were intercepting the enemy. The naval battle was quite lively.

The artillery comes and goes, sparks are flying.

Zhao Chuanxin chewed the rice dumplings and murmured in his mouth: "Well, not bad, not bad, this shot almost hit the battleship. Well, it was so accurate, let me sink it with one shot..."

He was making comments here, and there were several compatriots who looked timid and frightened beside him.

These compatriots had been tied up in pigtails by the Russian army and were preparing to transport strategic materials onto the ship. Zhao Chuanxin killed them while they were working and rescued these people.

Everyone thought he would take them away, but they didn't expect him to be so bold as to watch the Japanese-Russian naval battle here.

"Um, can you give me a rice dumpling?"

A skinny young man next to him asked in a whisper.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the telescope and said in surprise: "If you want to eat, just take it. Isn't there still something in the bucket?"

Upon hearing this, several people reached out to grab it.

After a while, when Zhao Chuanxin held up the telescope and reached into the bucket, he could no longer catch the rice dumplings.

He said angrily: "Who told you to eat all my rice dumplings?"

Several people were dumbfounded: "Didn't you let us eat it?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "When did I say that?"

Several people:"……"

Zhao Chuanxin dropped the telescope and said, "You're so stupid. You're nothing. I haven't rushed out several times."

This battle still has to be fought. Maozi tried to break through but failed. That bitch Togo Heihachiro stopped them back with a battleship.

At this time, the Maozi battleship in Port Arthur was isolated and helpless, and they could not leave even if they wanted to.

It can be said that little Japan has completely gained control of the sea.

Zhao Chuanxin also patted his butt, stood up and said, "You, follow me from now on and help me drive the car. You guys, go to Lugang Town, and I will give you two silver dollars as your travel expenses."

Don't look at him throwing money around like a child, but the money is actually not much less.

While spreading money, they seized supplies and then resold the weapons to Du Lisan, or Du Lisan helped make connections and sold them to other people.

Zhao Chuanxin was lying in the carriage, with Crow Jingjing standing next to him. Xingyue and Ganfan were running around outside. Ganfan was full of energy and often went to explore the front.

Not long after, the carriage came to a pavilion.

There is Du Lisan's subordinate waiting here.

Li Guangzong, who was driving the car, reminded in a low voice: "Sir, we are here."

Li Guangzong was one of those people rescued by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin got up quickly, got out of the car and asked, "Is it Du Lizi who wants it this time, or is it someone else?"

Du Lisan's subordinates looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration in their eyes: "This time it's Zhang Zuolin."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

But it didn't matter. Zhao Chuanxin said, "Give me the money and take away the guns and ammunition."

The subordinate shook his head: "Zhang Zuolin said he wanted to trade face to face."
