The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

After Nobujun Aoki announced the launch of the "Tiger Hunting Plan", on the surface, the Japanese and Russian soldiers present looked at death.

But Aoki Nobuzumi's observation was meticulous, and he could tell from their clenched fists and blue lips that they were scared and nervous.

Of course, there are also stupid young people who are really powerful and courageous and never flinch.

Nobuzumi Aoki continued: "The Tiger Hunting Plan is the most important strategic communication between us between Japan and Russia, and there is no room for error. Our long-term training has only one goal - to kill Zhao Chuanxin and strive for a stable environment outside the customs. Zhao Chuanxin is different from all the enemies you know. Now we can confirm that he does have magic and is also the great mage who knows black magic as you Russians say. Next, Lieutenant Afanasev will speak for you again. You supplement Zhao Chuanxin’s magic.”

Afanasev, a staff lieutenant and one of the leaders of the Joint Tiger Hunting Team.

He stood on the high platform, his brows were furrowed into the character "Chuan", his nasolabial folds were deep, his blond hair and eyebrows were sparse, and he had a big beard.

He said in a disdainful tone: "Our magic lamp holder, Rasputin, after our emperor was threatened by Zhao Chuanxin, organized a team of divine monks, holy boys, prophets, prophets and saviors. At the same time, several scientists were recruited to study Zhao Chuanxin."

A person who understands smiles knowingly.

Rasputin, some people call him a divine monk, some people call him a demon monk.

This guy is notorious to a certain extent.

But Nicholas II and his wife believed in him very much.

Afanasyev restrained his contemptuous expression and said seriously: "Our lamp holder has at least summarized some of Zhao Chuanxin's black magic. First, Zhao Chuanxin has a speed faster than a horse. No one knows Whether his legs are connected to a steam engine, I have never heard of anyone running hundreds of miles a day."

Everyone laughed.

Afanasev deliberately made the atmosphere relaxed. He believed that the tension before the war was too tense and was not conducive to battlefield performance.

He continued: "Second, Zhao Chuanxin may not be able to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, but he can float in the air to a certain extent. Outside the Forbidden City, he killed the British Minister Plenipotentiary Zhu Erdian while floating in the air. Thousands of people witnessed it. This matter cannot be done falsely.”

The smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared.

How to put it, in various European countries, there are some legends similar to "flying carpets", and many old mothers will scare younger generations with "flying gypsies catching children".

From time to time, someone will say with certainty: I saw that man flying with my own eyes, really...

Therefore, it does not seem too unusual for Zhao Chuanxin to stay in the air.

"Third, Zhao Chuanxin has a gun. This gun can change its shape at will. It can turn into our Mosin Nagant revolver, and it can also turn into a Maxim heavy machine gun. The most peculiar thing is that his magic gun, When it becomes shorter, it can actually fire a large number of bullets like a machine gun. Our lamp commander claims that Zhao Chuanxin’s gun is a unique weapon of the Death Messenger..."

They couldn't explain how Zhao Chuanxin seamlessly switched guns on the battlefield, so they made up a magic gun.

When they heard about this magic gun, the Japanese and Russian soldiers present couldn't laugh at all.

"Fourth, Zhao Chuanxin has tyrannical strength and unparalleled fighting ability. Zhao Chuanxin once punched our country's famous strongman Bodubuny away on a train. Bodubuney can say There is no way to fight back. You know, Bodubuny is not only very strong, but also proficient in wrestling and boxing, and is a good fighter. "

"Fifth, Zhao Chuanxin has very strong physical strength. He has repeatedly used less to defeat more, such as our country's war with him, such as his battle with tens of thousands of police officers in New York, USA. Putting aside the above-mentioned black magic, there is no one except him , No one can survive on the battlefield for such a long time, even ordinary people would be exhausted. "

Speaking of this, they basically covered all the features they could collect about Zhao Chuanxin.

Seeing that the faces of the members of the joint tiger hunting team below were a little dark, Aoki Xuanzhun said quickly: "But you don't have to worry, there is one thing I can be sure of - Zhao Chuanxin is a human being, not a god."

A Tsarist Russian soldier, holding a Shui Lian Zhu equipped with a long-barreled sight, couldn't help but say: "He has so many abilities, he is either a god or a god of death."

Nobuyuki Aoki shook his head: "No, he is not a god, he has been injured. Once, he was hit in the thigh by our soldiers, and it took him a long time to recover. Another time, someone saw that his waist was sprained and his walking posture was weird. The last time, In the United States, Zhao Chuanxin was injured by a sniper and almost killed him. Therefore, you must understand one thing - when you try your best to murder someone, you will probably be killed. Will succeed."

Everyone was thoughtful.

Nobuzumi Aoki is right.

Even the beautiful boss has been successfully assassinated many times.

No one is unkillable.

A strong person, a person with great authority, sometimes relaxes, unless he is really not a human being.

Afanasyev added: "Zhao Chuanxin is strong in combat, so we try not to engage him in close combat. Zhao Chuanxin can stay at high altitudes without falling, so we also ambush him at the commanding heights and kill him from a long distance without blind spots." Zhao Chuanxin has a gun that can't fire enough bullets and can change in many ways, so we use a gun that can shoot farther than him to prevent him from exerting his due strength. Zhao Chuanxin's physical strength is strong, and ours is. There are enough people scattered everywhere to prevent him from running away and making it impossible for him to pursue..."

The next step is to formulate a battle plan and let everyone provide ideas to improve tactics.

…

Zhao Chuanxin, who was very physically strong, was actually not that strong now.

He is spending Christmas on December 25 at home with Rebecca Levi, Tang Qunying and Nina.

Of course, the main thing is to spend time with Rebecca Levi.

Zhao Chuanxin is very generous as the head of the family.

"Nina, this set knife is a gift for you. It is made of fine steel and is extremely sharp."

"Xiao Tang, this cowhide briefcase is made from the first layer of cowhide. It is soft and smooth to the touch. It has a built-in plaid and can be used to pack official documents. It is really a magic tool for traveling and working."

"Rebecca, this is the water hyacinth bodhi tree, produced in Gorkha. I carefully selected it from several bags of bodhi seeds. It is small in size and cut into straight shapes. The eyes are inlaid with gold nails, and the top beads and tees are It is made of ivory, the waist beads are heaven-colored flawless turquoise, the cardan shaft and clips are made of pure gold, the counter is jasper, and the wiring harness is red coral from the South Sea... In short, there is a poem, the poem says - the body is Bodhi tree, the heart is like a bright mirror, always brush it to prevent it from attracting dust. It means that you can keep your mind pure and have few desires. Oh, don’t get me wrong, you are born with desires all over your body, I just say you should be restrained..."

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin with strange faces.

Rebecca Levi thought for a while: "Sir, I am also a student. This poem should be - Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where can it cause dust. In other words, as long as it is love at first sight , then it’s not considered desire, so how can it be said that one has a pure heart and few desires?”

Tang Qunying was stunned. What on earth were these two people talking about?

Is it really okay to misinterpret the classics and blaspheme the Buddha in this way?

"Ahem..." Zhao Chuanxin coughed dryly: "What is love at first sight? Isn't love at first sight just lust? Just like me, there are countless women in the world who care about my beauty, but Zhao must keep it for this world. Useful body.”

Rebecca Levi had a polite, gentle, and stubborn smile on her face, and glanced at Zhao Chuanxin with her eyes.

It's not a glance for thousands of years, but a glance for thousands of times. Zhao Chuanxin understood it.

Assi...

The walls of Zhao Chuanxin's house are thick, and the solid wood doors of each bedroom are equally thick. There is a living room and a reception room between the bedrooms, so the sound insulation is very good.

Rebecca Levi would sneak into Zhao Chuanxin's bedroom every day after dinner and before going to bed, no matter whether Zhao Chuanxin came back or not. Tang Qunying was at least kept in the dark, but Nina, who was at home all day long, had already discovered it. There were clues, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.

After the meal, when the food in his stomach was digested enough to prevent gastroptosis due to exercise, Zhao Chuanxin watched with sadness as Rebecca Levi quietly slipped into his room wearing a tight-fitting nightgown.

Rebecca Levi straightened up after closing the door: "Don't worry, sir. I know I'm tired and won't let you lift an extra finger. Just look at me."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin: "I don't like being suppressed."

"Then you can be condescending."

"I treat everyone equally and will never be condescending."

This tall, plump woman was originally loyal and honest, but now she has turned evil.

It's really hard to get better, but it's easy to get bad.

Zhao Chuanxin suspected that she drank the vitality spring water at the pass that day, and the contrast after that was all the sequelae of the vitality spring water.

He was acting cruel today and must be restrained by her.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin first let her entertain herself in various ways, waiting for work, and when the heat came, she would turn against the guests, go to the house to take out the ladder, and fish in troubled waters...

Rebecca Levy was dumbfounded.

She felt that she had been working very hard these days, but Zhao Chuanxin only needed a few "wonderful moments" to easily win the MVP.

As the saying goes: Ginger is still spicier when old.

Zhao Chuanxin put on his nightgown and walked arrogantly towards the door with a figure-footed step.

Haha, a truly unparalleled master with a gun and a stick would disdain dancing with a gun and a stick every day.

Rebecca Levi collapsed on the bed and whispered: "Master, don't leave, stay with me to sleep."

"The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. The only way to relieve my worries is cigarettes." Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigarette and closed the door.

Immediately returned to the mountainside hut.

Just having Christmas is enough, isn’t it wishful thinking to still want Christmas Eve?

Rebecca Levy, on the other hand, really wanted to be held in her arms to sleep, but this wish was difficult to satisfy.

People who are always satisfied always ask for more, and people who always have shortcomings are always thinking about it.

Naturally, Zhao Chuanxin had not thought about that much. There were many more interesting programs in the world than ordinary things. How could you waste your good time between the sheets?

Go back to the mountainside hut and refresh the "Old God Codex" first.

The Fearless Vanguard is still trekking in the Cursed Desert with the people of the territory, there is nothing new.

Then Xingyue said: "I need your help to make the heat source gem activation device."

Mainly, Zhao Chuanxin is required to use the Old God Crucible Brand to heat and quench the metal.

Zhao Chuanxin's heat treatment process is unparalleled in the world. It can not only quickly heat the metal to the critical temperature, but also cool it at a rate far greater than the critical cooling rate.

Originally he didn't understand anything, but Xingyue understood.

Zhao Chuanxin can operate stably according to the parameters.

He and Xingyue worked for a while, and Xingyue planted some copper wires and ring magnets.

Xingyue was busy making a heat source gem to start the device, while Zhao Chuanxin and his puppet slaves wound coils to make the stator and rotor.

In the 1990s, German engineer Ernst Wirth invented the ring induction motor, later known as the brushless motor.

Nikola Tesla was able to copy, but was copied by Xingyue.

This is the combination and collision of two worlds, science and technology and rune technology.

The next morning, Zhao Chuanxin got up early.

Last night, he and Xingyue built two sets of heat source gem starting devices and a brushless motor.

He got up early and installed a heat source gem in the water tank of the wooden house. There was even a temperature control device. Xingyue set the water temperature roughly at around 38 degrees.

The puppet slave prepared the ingredients earlier, then trimmed Zhao Chuanxin's beard, and washed his hair with suet soap mixed with concentrated liquid boiled from tea seed cake and hot water.

Roughly rub your hair with tea seed cake concentrate, then rinse it, and use soap to clean your scalp to prevent pores from clogging and achieve a refreshing effect.

At this time, the puppet slave took a towel and wiped it briefly. While Zhao Chuanxin's hair was wet, he styled Zhao Chuanxin's hair. Zhao Chuanxin then used Lord Run's Salute to evaporate the water instantly, which could achieve a styling effect to a certain extent. .

When Zhao Chuanxin goes out to practice balancing skills, the puppet slave will prepare breakfast.

While Zhao Chuanxin was eating, the puppet slaves made tea, ironed his clothes and shined his shoes.

After the meal, when Zhao Chuanxin was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, drinking tea and smoking, the puppet slave would wash the dishes and pots and empty the dirty bucket.

The Puppet Servant and the Puppet Craftsman are both puppets. The Puppet Craftsman's operation accuracy is higher than that of the future Hammer machine tool, but the Puppet Servant is far behind, so it can only be used to do rough work.

But under the control of Xingyue, the puppet slave takes no trouble, has no mental or physical fatigue, and can always do these trivial things in an orderly manner.

It can wipe the light of the newly built fused quartz operating table in the wooden house to detect people. It can find the weak threads on Zhao Chuanxin's clothes and cut them and fix the seams. It can use the hands with simulated flesh and blood to remove Zhao Chuanxin's shirt. Rub the collar until it is completely clean. A fly that is so spotless that it can wipe the floor of a mountainside wooden house will split open when it lands on it...

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the ash from his cigarette and raised both corners of his mouth at the same time, revealing a smile that was most easily misunderstood.

Ah……

From now on, you can lose all your equipment and retire directly, but you cannot lose your puppet slaves.

Central control rune, yyds.

Therefore, even Rebecca Levi is very confused recently.

Because Zhao Chuanxin is often away from home, but his clothes are always cleaner and neater than before, his hair is meticulous, his leather shoes are so shiny every morning that they can reflect people's figures, and his beard is no longer messy.

During the morning meeting this morning, Rebecca Levi was a little distracted, wondering if Zhao Chuanxin had a more diligent woman outside...

Yao Jia looked at the well-dressed Zhao Chuanxin, and then at her own somewhat messy suit, and couldn't help but feel more eager to start a family and start a career.

If he could have a woman by his side to serve him every day, he would definitely be more glamorous than the salary passer. Well, that must be the case.

Yao Jia, who was envious and full of jealousy, said: "Sir, you need to leave for Lugang Town. The telephone poles have been erected. It will only be after the New Year that the telephone lines will be pulled. Negotiations are imminent."

At least let Zhao Chuanxin be busy instead of idle all day long.

He, Yao Shijie, couldn't bear to see such idle people...wasting their time.

The clinker Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed: "Really? That's great. Let's call it a day. I'll set off right now."

Zhao Chuanxin's temperament was originally lazy and restless.

Being lazy means not liking to work, being restless means joining in wherever the excitement is.

Only Rebecca Levy was displeased.

Zhao Chuanxian was accompanied by four people.

His secretary Cui Fenghua, Niu Hanzhang, the son of the richest man in Jilin, Jiang Jian, a newcomer to Lubin Mansion, and Wang Jingshan, another private capital representative besides Niu Hanzhang.

Niu Hanzhang was not only convinced of Zhao Chuanxin, but even admired him.

At first he was dissatisfied and angry, but later he learned about Zhao Chuanxin's identity, witnessed Zhao Chuanxin's power in Changchun Mansion, and learned that Zhao Chuanxin had made Lubin Mansion a prosperous business. He was convinced. .

There was a point in him studying abroad in Tsarist Russia. If his father hadn't been rich, how could he have reached the level of Zhao Chuanxin on his own?

His conclusion was - no.

You don’t have the ability, you know.

Wang Jingshan was born in Datun, Changchun Prefecture. His family was poor when he was young. He dropped out of private school after only two years.

At the end of the last century, he went to Tsarist Russia to do some small business and learned Russian by the way.

As soon as he got better, he was expelled back to his country by the Russians.

After returning to his hometown, it happened that the construction of Yaqiaoxin Fire Mill in Changchun Prefecture started.

The fire mill was a new thing.

Because old-fashioned mills are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the flour processed is not fine enough and must be sifted many times before it can be sold.

There are more and more Maozi outside the customs. They eat pasta for a long time, so the fire mill is very profitable.

Because Wang Jingshan was proficient in Russian, he became a comprador for the Russian Subkin, the owner of Yaqiaoxin Fire Mill.

In this era, it is difficult for anyone who can become a comprador not to get rich.

Especially when the Russo-Japanese War started outside the customs, Su Bojin was so frightened that he fled to Harbin. At that time, Wang Jingshan took on the task of protecting and operating the flour mill.

For him, this is a kind of ability training and an accumulation of original capital.

Especially after the war, Subkin repaid him by giving him all the flour produced in the fire mill to sell.

Wang Jingshan took advantage of the situation and opened Yuchangyuan Grain and Rice Shop outside the city of Changchun Prefecture, which made a lot of profits and accumulated his original capital.

Zhao Chuanxin was the "star outside the customs". Most of the people outside the customs talked about him after dinner.

Wang Jingshan saw in the newspaper that Zhao Chuanxin was going to run a new type of newspaper industry. After thinking about it over and over again, he decided to join in.

He was a businessman, and he had carefully understood Zhao Chuanxin's family history. He was surprised to find that Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have never done a loss-making business.

Just like Zhao Chuanxin established the Lugang Town Charity Association, it seemed to be a way to get money, but he bought people's hearts in the south and made his various industries in the south flourish.

This is not a loss-making deal at all.

So this time he wanted to take a ride.

Originally, his net worth did not qualify him to become a representative of private investors outside the customs.

But Yao Jia, the general manager of Lubin Prefecture's Bureau of Officials and Commodities, approached him and after a few telegrams, he became a representative.

Yao Jia didn't know what Zhao Chuanxin's Internet business was, but she also believed that Zhao Chuanxin would not be aimless. He was the general manager of the Bureau of Official Commodities and could not blatantly inject capital, so he found a spokesperson for himself.

On the Dongqing Railway train.

Jiang Jian curiously asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, how much have you invested in Internet companies?"

Zhao Chuanxin leaned against the car window, which opened a small crack, and the smoke was drawn out of the window through the crack.

He said calmly: "I'm a little short on money, so I haven't invested much yet."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jingshan on the opposite side was a little confused.

A bit deceived.

You make a big show of it, but your emotions are empty-handed?

Jiang Jian sneered, not knowing what to say.

Cui Fenghua rolled her eyes and endorsed Zhao Chuanxin: "When it comes time to invest in construction, you will certainly not be short of money. Making money is just a piece of cake for you."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled faintly and put out the cigarette butt: "Will you die if you don't brag? If not by then, why don't you just shell out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and treat us as friends?"

"Ah this..." Cui Fenghua smiled obscenely, it wouldn't be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver if he was chopped into pieces and sold.

Where is the best place to make friends?

Although he was in the first-class carriage, unfortunately, Zhao Chuanxuan did not encounter any unfair treatment, nor did he encounter any discrimination against the Chinese by Mao Zi, because there was a sign posted on the door of the carriage, which seriously stated the danger of discrimination and harm to others.

The railway lines outside the customs were basically cleared by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin and the five others got along well with Mao Zi in the first-class carriage. They arrived at Changchun Mansion in two days and nights.

Then transfer to Changchun Mansion and take the Nanman Railway train to Lugang Town.

After sitting for another ten hours, we arrived at Lugang Town.

Zhao Chuanxin did not notify anyone before he came.

After the train entered the station, there was no one outside to pick it up. Only the mounted police from Lugang Town were patrolling on horseback outside.

After Zhao Chuanxin got out of the car, he felt a little "fearful of being close to home" and hesitated to move forward.

Cui Fenghua asked from behind: "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Oops, Taoist heart is unstable."

"..."
