The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin asked with great interest: "Oh? Why don't you provoke them? Will I scare them?"

"..." Agure Ida was speechless for a moment and said: "On the contrary, sir, I think they will scare you. No, not just scare you, they will be really evil people."

"Evil person?" Zhao Chuanxin's face showed joy: "I am looking for the evil person. Hu Wenxiao, go and call the Gomez brothers."

"..."

Juvencio Toric did not move, and the sheepherder boy Agure Ida said: "Ulkidi Gomez went out to do something for Mr. Toric, and Nachito Gomez went to fool around somewhere. , It seems that the tenant Villa Galvez is showing Nachito the house, I will call him for you. "

He asked Juvencio Torric to help look after the sheep and ran back quickly.

Villa Galvez is a scrawny old man.

Zhao Chuanxin discovered that in this town, only Juvencio Torric was fat, while the rest were all thin.

Villa Galvez staggered over with his sleeves rolled up. He glanced at Juvencio Torric first, and then looked Zhao Chuanxin up and down: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhao Chuanxin discovered that the little fat man was actually a little afraid of his old tenant.

interesting.

He pointed to the white house behind him and said, "Can you make the decision? I want to buy this house."

Agure Ida was watching the excitement with his eyes rolling, while Juvencio Torric still looked stupid.

Villa Galvez waved his hand quickly: "Sir, this house belongs to Nachito. He is a bad-tempered drunkard. I dare not make the decision for him."

Zhao Chuanxin noticed that after he finished speaking, he looked at the little fat man Juvencio Torric strangely, and the little fat man shrank his neck and lowered his head.

Lao Zhao is a master with sticky hair who is smarter than a monkey, so he immediately noticed something was wrong.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know where Nachito Gomez is?"

Villa Galvez's face looked a little unnatural: "Sir, I told you, he is a bad-tempered drunkard. Maybe he went to molest someone's widow, or he went to another town to gamble with his friends. Who knows? ?”

As he was talking, dust was flying in the distance.

A group of knights came from the north, running rampant and jumping around, shouting "woo-woo" in their mouths.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the reactions of the three people again. Agure Ida still had the same attitude of watching the fun and not being too bad, Juvencio Toric secretly looked at the tenant Villa Galvez, and Villa... Galvez's face actually showed a little fear.

Agure Ida said: "It's Urquidi Gomez back."

Urquidi Gomez? The eldest of the Gomez brothers?

Zhao Chuanxin found a place to sit down, put his hands in his coat pockets and waited happily.

Soon, Urquidi Gomez and his group of knights approached the horse.

Urquidi Gomez looked at Zhao Chuanxin, then at Villa Galvez, suddenly turned his back, dismounted, picked up a whip and whipped the old tenant hard.

"Who told you to bring outsiders to your home in Nachito?"

"You damn dirty old immortal!"

Villa Galvez was beaten until he was rolling on the ground begging for mercy.

Agure Ida stepped back in fright, and was kicked by Urquidi Gomez's men, but he did not dare to say a word.

Juvencio Torric was a little afraid of the old man Villa Galvez, but he dared to face the vicious Urquidi Gomez: "Urquidi, let him go, I order you to let poor Billy go. Ya."

The arrogant Urquidi Gomez immediately stood guard. His ferocious look had not yet faded, but he could already hold his hat respectfully: "Okay, young master, I'm sorry."

Then he turned to look at Zhao Chuanxin and said coldly: "Now, Asian, tell me your purpose of coming."

This guy wants to give Zhao Chuanxin a show of strength and make him understand who is in charge here.

However, Zhao Chuanxin paid no attention to their farce, took out his cigarette, lit it, pointed at the white house and said, "I want your house."

"Why?" Urquidy Gomez thought someone who was responsible for his brother's troubles came to his door, but he didn't expect that he was here to buy a house.

Zhao Chuanxin blew out a smoke ring, stood up and pointed at the dilapidated roof and said, "Look at this roof, how beautiful it is."

Pointing to the wall filled with potholes and filled with straw sticks: "Look at this wall, it's as smooth as new."

Pointing to the yard full of garbage and gravel: "Look at this yard, how neat it is."

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and nodded, his expression full of satisfaction: "So, I want to buy it."

Everyone: "..."

Is this person perhaps drinking tequila soaked in datura flowers?

Urquidy Gomez scratched the thin hair on his scalp: "Are you sure? How much can you pay?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know the local prices: "You have to set the price."

In addition to being fierce, Urquidi Gomez's face also showed a hint of cunning: "I want 800 pesos."

That's roughly equivalent to $285.

114 gold marks.

What is enough money for?

In London, that money would buy 4,571 buns.

In the United States, the best griffon cigarettes available are 1300 oz.

In China, it is equivalent to 400 taels of silver, and a family of four can save enough to last for several years.

Enough to hire a killer to take a desperate risk and kill a working police officer in New York.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said happily: "200 pesos."

"..."

I've seen people sit down and raise the price and then bargain on the spot, but I've never seen a knife so sharp.

Urquidy Gomez's face showed displeasure: "700 pesos, not a penny less."

Zhao Chuanxin held out three fingers: "300 pesos, not a penny more."

"Blanched, 650 pesos, foreigner, I warn you, this is the limit of what I can tolerate."

"I'm warning you, old hater, 350 pesos is really a lot for such a beautiful house."

"Damn it, 600 pesos, don't bargain with me anymore, otherwise you will know how powerful the Gomez brothers are."

"For 350 pesos, you will know the strength of Crossing the River Dragon."

"Huh?" Urquidi Gomez said in confusion: "Why don't you raise the price?"

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "You lower the price first, then I can raise the price."

Why does it feel wrong?

Urquidi Gomez's expression changed, and then he tentatively asked: "500 pesos?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay 351 pesos."

Everyone: "..."

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

He said angrily: "Damn foreigner, don't you know that such a price increase is unfair?"

Zhao Chuanxin came to the low wall, gently shook the piled stones, and when he pushed them, they fell over, and large chunks of mud fell out: "Look, such a strong wall is only worth 350 pesos. I can let it go You take away all the furniture inside, I don’t want any of it. To show my sincerity, when you come back from a long journey, I will give you 5 pesos to buy you some wine to relieve your fatigue.”

Urquidy Gomez's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Foreigner, 450 pesos, if you dare to bargain with me again, you won't be able to stay here, believe me."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the cigarette butt away: "Deal, make a contract, sign the contract."

Urquidi Gomez looked at Juvencio Toric and said, "Master, I need to see Mr. Toric. We need him as a notary."

Then he said to Zhao Chuanxian: "Foreigner, you still have to pay the extra 5 pesos you promised. This is the money you paid to buy peace in Quit Saran."

Juvencio Torric looked excited.

For some inexplicable reason, he liked the stranger who carved the wood for him very much and hoped that he could live here.

Urquidi Gomez asked one of his men to pass the horse to Zhao: "Follow me to Torik Manor."

Zhao Chuanxin got on his horse, and Urquidi Gomez hit the horse first and ran away at a gallop, as if he wanted to use this method to show his status.

He is quite confident in his riding skills.

After running for a certain distance, he turned his head slightly, only to find that Zhao Chuanxin was only two horse heads behind him, with ease and ease on his face.

Unconvinced, he accelerated again.

On the road, a chicken that came out to look for food in the morning was trampled to death by his horse.

But when he turned around, he found that Zhao Chuanxin was still grinning at him from a rough distance.

"..."

Soon we arrived at the manor.

Zhao Chuanxin reined in his horse and suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw the curtains of the second floor window of the villa were opened. Standing in front of the window was a beautiful middle-aged woman with her arms folded. She was plump and could be seen from the front. The width of the butt shows the depth of the foundation.

The flesh under the layers of lace petticoats and silk vests swayed like dominoes that were not easy to fall apart.

But her waist is very thin.

Urquidi Gomez smiled obscenely, and then said fiercely: "Foreigner, take care of your eyes."

Zhao Chuanxin withdrew his gaze from the middle-aged beautiful woman and leaned on his horse to wait.

After a while, a servant came to invite you: "Master, let you go in."

Just entering the door is the living room. The floor is a beautiful wool carpet, and the room is filled with the smell of burning copal.

Camilo Toric, the father of the little fat Juvencio Toric, was sitting on a chair, tapping the armrests of the mahogany chair with his thick fingers, looking at everyone who came in with a sinister look.

Including Urquidi Gomez, his manor's thug.

"Sir, I would like to ask you to be the notary. I want to sell the house to this stranger." Urquidi Gomez took off his hat and put it on his chest and said respectfully.

Camilo Tolic nodded expressionlessly, picked up the pen and paper on the table next to him and started writing.

But no one was invited to sit down.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at the furnishings in the room.

Until Camilo Toric completed the simple contract and said in a deep voice: "You guys come here to sign and put your fingerprints, hand over the money with one hand and hand over the house with the other."

The golden mark bounced off Zhao Chuanxin's thumb, and landed accurately in the "dimple" formed between the middle finger and the index finger.

The gold almost blinded Urquidi Gomez.

He excitedly said to Camilo Gomez: "Master, I think building a house is the best investment. What do you think?"

Camilo Tolic glared at him and said coldly: "Unless you are sure that you can find a Chinese who is rich and easy to cheat every time."

These words startled Urquidi Gomez, and he looked warily at Zhao Chuanxin next to him: "Chinese, you won't go back on your promise, will you?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked innocent: "I'm easy to deceive, don't worry."

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his thumb, and each time a dozen gold marks popped up and fell neatly on the table, Chaoyang made sure to cover them with golden light.

The sound of splashing stirred everyone's minds.

Gold coins clattered non-stop, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Earlier, a beautiful middle-aged woman on the second floor walked downstairs.

Just like the impatiens in the wind, the whole plant is hairless, with thick stems, alternate leaves, oblanceolate shape, wide flag petals, spindle-shaped capsules and round seeds.

Swaying in the wind.

She stared at Zhao Chuanxin, not paying attention to those gold marks at all.

Zhao Chuanxin kept thumbing his head and looked at her.

"Ignacia, go back upstairs. Didn't you see the guest?" Camilo Toric said in a deep voice.

Ignacia ignored him, and her eyes wandered around Zhao Chuanxin even more unscrupulously.

Look at his tall stature, broad shoulders, thick beard and hair, and be curious about his dark eyes.

The sound of gold coins colliding with the table stopped.

Zhao Chuanxin withdrew his gaze,

Ignacia spoke in a familiar voice: "Urquidi, Urquidi, I didn't expect that your simple mind could still make a lot of money."

Even when she glanced at him, Urquidi felt that his bones were filled with foam, and his body felt as light as if he was about to fly.

His voice was trembling as he said, "Miss Ignacia, how are you?"

Camilo Torric said coldly: "Urquidi, take your money and get out of here. If you look at my sister again, I will dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs."

Urquidi Gomez hurriedly took off his clothes and put the golden mark on the table.

Then he grabbed Zhao Chuanxin and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave quickly?"

"What's wrong with looking at it? They want to pick out your eyes, but they don't want to pick out mine." Zhao Chuanxin disagreed.

Camilo Torric: "..."

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

Ignacia covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Zhao Chuanxin provocatively.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled, his teeth were white and neat, and they were so dense that they looked ridiculous.

Lao Zhao's appearance can be said to be very ordinary.

But, in terms of hairline, he is very low; in terms of hair volume, he is very thick; in terms of eyebrows, they are as sharp as swords; in terms of eyes, although they are not particularly big, they are very bright; in terms of height, they are adequate; in terms of skin, they are super delicate .

Everywhere is ordinary, but it doesn't look that ordinary.

Temperament is always a very good thing.

He picked up the contract, flipped it between his fingers and disappeared, put it in his pocket and left without looking back.

Unlike Urquidy Gomez who looks over his shoulder from time to time.

After going out, Urquidi Gomez called to his men: "Let's go and move those cabinets out. We can't give the Chinese people any advantage."

Then it roared away, sweeping away the white house.

After they left, the sheepherder boy Agure Ida said: "Humph, Brother Gomez is very stupid. He is not half as smart as me."

Juvencio Torric struck out suddenly: "But you are afraid of him."

"Ah...tui!" Ajure Ida was unconvinced: "Look, young master, I will be stronger and smarter than them in the future. Are you right, stranger?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded like he was talking: "Ah, yes, yes, right. When I see your heaven and earth, I know that your bones are extraordinary and you will become a great person in the future."

Agure Ida was elated when he said this: "Outlander, you are very insightful. For this reason, I want to remind you that the Gomez brothers are bastards, complete bastards. You showed your wealth today, and they will not let it go. Those who let you go will definitely come to extort more benefits from you."

Juvencio Torric patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Urquidi and the others take your money, I won't."

Agure Ida curled his lips: "You can't stay here forever. Sooner or later, strangers will be left alone. By the way, stranger, what is your name?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised the corner of his mouth: "My name is John Constantine!"

This is his alternate alias after Ethan Zhao.

Just as he was about to speak, Xingyue reminded him: "Outside the southern trench of Berlin, someone is looking for you with a white flag."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Aju Lei, when you are not herding sheep, help me clean up the debris in the yard."

Agure Ida's eyes widened: "John Constantine, I didn't promise you anything. I'm too busy with my own work."

Zhao Chuanxin threw one real over: "What now?"

Agure Ida's eyes lit up: "It's no problem now, sir."

Juvencio Torric, the foolish son of a landlord, volunteered: "Sir, I can help, and I won't take any money."

"Good boy, really good boy. The world needs people like you, the more the merrier." Zhao Chuanxin patted Juvencio Torric on the shoulder, then pointed to the south and said in surprise: "Look, what is that?"

The two were immediately attracted to each other.

Agure Ida said in a strange tone: "That's just a little crested pheasant..."

But when he turned around, Zhao Chuanxin had disappeared.

…

Heinz Wilhelm Guderian held his bronze eyes and stuck his head out of the trench to look at the person coming.

This man has white beard and hair but a strong body. Behind him is a soldier holding a white flag. He holds his belt and shouts in a thick and muddy voice as he walks: "I am Leopold Maximian, Field Marshal of the German Army." .I'm here to negotiate..."

After that, Leopold Maximian saw a size 43 leather shoe suddenly step into his sight.

Zhao Chuanxin appeared in front of him out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

"Sir, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked back at him, did not answer, and walked towards Leopold Maximian.

"Ah, Leopold Maximian, I have long admired his name." Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his pockets and greeted him with a cheerful face.

Leopold Maximian was somewhat proud and pretended to be surprised and asked: "Do you know me?"

After all, some people call the man in front of him the Butcher, while others call him the God of War.

Regardless of his position, Leopold Maximian admired the man in front of him who could make several countries hate him and was helpless.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Well, I don't know."

Leopold Maximian: "..."

I didn’t know you had admired the famous name for so long.

He coughed, shook his beard and said, "The emperor wants to meet you formally and apologize to you."

"Well, well, tell me, I'm listening. What traps are waiting for me this time?"

"Ah, this..." Leopold Maximian hesitated for five seconds before speaking: "This is a serious meeting."

"Oh..." Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of understanding: "It was all a joke before, right?"

Blanch...
