The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Obregon was wearing baggy and dirty trousers, a wool vest, and strange clothes that were neither a T-shirt nor a shirt.

He wore a cowboy hat with black handprints all over it where he always grabbed it.

This man's face is full of pockmarks and bruises, and he always looks like he's smiling but not smiling.

After Agure Ida explained his intention, Obregon stared at him for a long time without saying anything.

Zhao Chuanxin: "Is it down?"

Obregon didn't understand what the downtime meant. He tilted his neck and said, "Follow me. The horse is not here with me now."

The two followed him to a nearby house. There was a wooden sign outside the house that read: Wilson's House.

Zhao Chuanxin's mouth twitched as he looked at it.

In the stable of Wilson's house, there is indeed a long and tall horse, 1.65 meters tall, with small ears and big eyes, a neck like an arch bridge, and prominent neck muscles.

The chest is deep and broad, the shoulder blades are straight, and the shoulders are long and sloping.

The tendons and joints of the limbs are prominent.

Zhao Chuanxin also knew how to look at horses. Lugang Town and Lubin Prefecture both had their own military horse farms, but this kind of horse was something Zhao Chuanxin had never seen before.

He sincerely praised: "What a good horse."

Obregon pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at the horse with the other: "This is that horse, and its name is - Counterfeit. Although it looks like a British noble horse, it is not. For only 42 pesos, you can You can take it away."

At 42 pesos, it’s not a lot, but it’s not cheap either.

Agure Ida excitedly rushed into the horse stall and stroked the horse's back.

The horse moved away angrily, trying to kick someone with its hoof.

Fortunately, Agure Ida had been dealing with animals all year round and managed to avoid being kicked in time. Even so, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

He came out and said with a smile: "The impostor's temper is not very good."

Obregon glared at him and said: "I never said the impostor had a good temper. How about it, stranger, do you want to buy it?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "How did you know I'm a foreigner? I'm actually a native of Mexico. I'm from Quitshalan."

Obregon paused: "Do you want to buy it or not?"

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "Come, let's sign and pledge, hand over the money and deliver the goods."

Obregon frowned: "What do you sign and what do you pledge? We, the patrol team, never use this when doing business."

"You have to get it, we, the Mexicans, have to sign the contract."

"you……"

Ajure Ida quickly winked at Zhao Chuanxin, signaling him not to anger him.

Obregon said coldly: "I haven't read a book and I can't write."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and took out a piece of paper filled with words: "Here, I've drafted the contract a long time ago. You don't even need to sign, just fingerprint it."

"..."

He hesitated again and again, rolled his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and pressed the fingerprint on it.

Zhao Chuanxin said at this time: "Okay, let's negotiate the price now."

Obregon's eyes widened: "The contract has been fingerprinted, and now you want to negotiate the price?"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to a blank space in the contract as a matter of course: "Yeah, look, this is where the price is written. I haven't added anything yet, so there is still room for bargaining."

Obregon, who had ulterior motives, now felt that he was the one who had been tricked.

This is really unreasonable.

He was so angry that he pinched his waist with both hands and spit out thick phlegm: "Ah... tui! Do you fucking know who I am?"

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head: "Man? Mexican? Your skin looks a bit dark. Could it be that you are from Mulatto?"

The Mulatto people are of mixed race.

"..." Obregon said with his nostrils raised to the sky: "I am a mounted patrol policeman. As a foreigner, please be careful what you say."

"Okay, okay, be careful next time." Zhao Chuanxin said sincerely, "Let's do this, you pay 42 pesos and I pay 15 pesos."

"No, it's at least 35 pesos."

"Okay, then 20 pesos."

"No, it costs at least 30 pesos, and I can give you the saddle as well."

Zhao Chuanxin tugged at his fingers and said, "Let's do this. Let's get it, 21 pesos."

Obregon thought carefully, is the compromise between 30 and 20 pesos 21 pesos?

"Bah!" Obregon was angry: "You cunning foreigner, the compromise is clearly 25 pesos."

"I can see that you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about it. Let's compromise between 21 pesos and 25 pesos, 22 pesos."

"..."

In the end, the transaction was settled at 23 pesos.

The contract is made in two copies, each person gets one copy.

Zhao Chuanxin put the contract in his arms and said to Ajule Idanun: "Why don't you take the horse quickly?"

The two took the "fake" away and walked farther and farther under Obregon's sinister eyes.

When they disappeared around the corner of the road, Obregon picked up his pants and ran away.

He went to summon the guys and said, "The stranger has taken the horse away. What's worse, that cunning guy must ask me to sign a contract. Now that he has evidence in his hand, we must solve this problem quickly. So, now Go and notify Yankee Fran Welsh immediately."

So, someone went to Fran Welsh and said, "Mr. Don Fran Welsh, someone just called the police and reported that your horse was taken away."

Fran Wales is an investor from the United States. He has a wool spinning workshop and sells some advanced products from the United States locally.

During Diaz's reign, he governed the country according to the North American capitalist policy.

Although foreign capital was introduced and large-scale capitalist construction was carried out, it even became the world's major silver-producing country, copper production ranked second in the world, and more than 20,000 kilometers of railways had been laid.

However, this was just a false prosperity. The products and profits of foreign capital would be brought back to their own country.

However, local farmers and even large estate owners wanted to maintain the feudal debt serf system and were unwilling to transform into a capitalist economy.

This contradiction has not been resolved for a long time, and the influence of American businessmen in Mexico has become increasingly greater.

Basically, the local Mexicans hate the Americans, but they are afraid of them.

Fran Wales immediately ran away after hearing this: "What? The counterfeit was stolen? Damn it! Who did it? If you had time to report to me, you might have found my horse back."

The visitor was very unhappy.

I came to tell you with good intentions, but you ridiculed me instead.

But he still said: "Don't worry, we will try our best to help you find the counterfeit goods, you can come with us." Fran Wales immediately picked up his coat and went out with him... Zhao Chuanxin and Aguirre Ida led the horse and carried the Chihuahua back. Aguirre Ida said: "Mr. Constantine, do you notice that something is wrong? Why is this horse so cheap? Obregon said he couldn't read, but he pressed his fingerprints without even looking? Dealing with these cavalry police always makes me feel uneasy." "Aguirre, you can try to say only auspicious words in the future." Just after he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves behind him. "Stop, horse thieves, stop!" Aguirre Ida was confused. Zhao Chuanxin sneered. The two stopped near the oak forest. A group of eight cavalry patrols came with the American Fran Wales. When they got closer, Fran Wales dismounted angrily and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "You stole my horse?"

Aguire Ida was terrified.

He hesitated and dared not speak.

Zhao Chuanxin handed the Chihuahua to Aguire Ida and pointed at the fake one and said: "This is my horse."

"Bullshit, my name must be engraved on the saddle - Wales."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned and took a look: "Hey, why did you engrave your name on the saddle of my horse? It's really unreasonable."

Fran Wales: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin said to Aguire: "Why don't you say something now?"

Say something? For example, if the eight opponents suddenly died at the same time, maybe the problem would be solved immediately.

Unexpectedly, Aguire Ida failed at the critical moment and was so scared that he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed and took out the contract from his arms.

Just as he was about to speak, Obregon's face changed drastically and he shouted, "This horse thief wants to escape, kill him."

Escape method!

They said that whoever wants to escape, whether he is guilty or not, as long as he is a suspect, they have the right to shoot him.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately hid behind the counterfeit.

Bang!

They didn't dare to hit the horse.

They just hit the ground, splashing some dust.

Seeing this, Obregon was about to ride forward and bypass the counterfeit to shoot Zhao Chuanxin.

But when his horse approached, a triangular iron pipe barrier suddenly appeared under the horse's legs.

Hiss...

Plop.

People fell down.

Obregon happened to fall at Zhao Chuanxin's feet, dizzy.

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked: "Ah, such a long horse leg, there is still a hurdle that can't be crossed?"

Obregon glanced at the corner of his eye, where is the barrier?

Just now, was it an illusion?

The quick gun fell to the side, and he was about to reach out to hook it.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin kindly said: "Obrego, the rural roads here are not flat, let me help you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was tripped by a stone under his feet.

"Ah..."

Zhao Chuanxin rushed forward.

His elbow went down and hit Obregon's ribs.

Crack...

When Obregon's ribs broke, Zhao Chuanxin screamed: "Ah, I'm dying."

Obregon: "..."

Why did he suddenly lose the desire to scream?

The others didn't know what was going on, and they all walked over here.

Then they saw Zhao Chuanxin and Obregon lying on the ground side by side. Obregon's face was pale with pain, but Zhao Chuanxin screamed again and again.

Was it Obregon who subdued the foreigner, or was he injured in the process of subduing the foreigner?

Because the two were too close, they didn't dare to shoot.

Obregon finally caught his breath and shouted, "Quick, catch him, capture him alive, I want to torture him."

The rest of the people got off their horses and rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin on the ground.

One on top of the other, they pressed him down tightly.

Someone touched Obregon's broken bones, and he wailed in pain.

Fran Wales watched in confusion.

Suddenly, his shoulder was patted.

He turned around in shock and found that it was the Asian who was supposed to be pressed under the crowd.

Zhao Chuanxin handed him a cigarette: "Want a smoke?"

Fran Wales took the cigarette unconsciously, and Zhao Chuanxin took out the contract and handed it to him: "Look at this."

When he finished, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Now, can you understand what happened?"

Fran Wales asked, "Weren't you pinned down?"

"Hey, you don't understand. I hate physical contact with men, so I quickly avoided it. I don't know what they are doing together."

Fran Wales' eyes flickered.

He also knew what kind of people the Mexican rural cavalry patrols were.

This might be another kind of trap.

He said, "I just want to get my horse back, and I don't want to care about other things."

"Sorry, I bought the horse with real money. If you want to find you, go to Obregon and the others."

The cavalry police below heard the conversation between the two and turned back in shock. They found that Zhao Chuanxin was smiling and watching them lying on the ground.

"Damn it, get up, get up..."

Then they surrounded Zhao Chuanxin, but they didn't dare to raise their guns because there was an American in the encirclement.

Zhao Chuanxin raised the contract in his hand: "This American boss has seen it, do you still want to continue the performance?"

Everyone was struck by lightning.

Fran Wales said with a sullen face: "Perhaps, I should go to Mexico City to find Finance Minister Lemantur, he will definitely give me an explanation."

Obregoon, who was lying on the ground, was anxious: "Wait, Mr. Wales, we can discuss it."

It doesn't matter if they do evil things on weekdays, but if they involve foreign businessmen and report it to the Minister of Finance, they will be in trouble.

Zhao Chuanxin walked to Aguirre Ida: "Why are you still standing there? Take the horse home. We bought this horse legally."

The two turned around and left.

Everyone looked at Fran Wales, and then at Obregon, who was in pain on the ground, and watched Zhao Chuanxin and the others go away.

Fran Wales snorted coldly and rode back on horseback.

Obregon said frustratedly: "Carry me back first, my ribs are broken, and I will settle the score with that foreigner later..."

...

Zhao Chuanxin teleported back to the camp and slept until dawn.

He thought that the Japanese-Russian joint special forces would launch a surprise attack at night, but nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Zhao Chuanxin warmed himself up with the Old God Crucible Mark in his blanket.

When they were cooking, the Taiji Garu of Zhuobarse brought people again.

They did not interfere with the archery, nor did they make ridiculous insults, but just watched from a distance.

I don’t know if they wanted to find an opportunity to stab him in the back at any time, or just wanted to see how things developed.

After breakfast, Hu Da rode his horse to Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, do you want a pre-war speech?"

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "I'm just here to watch the battle."

"..." Hu Da had to go back by himself.

After eating and drinking, the Gray Axe Army advanced towards Sangbeizi.

As soon as they crossed the frozen Kerulen River, they heard the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air.

Boom...

It was a small-caliber mountain cannon.

Hu Da never expected that the other side actually brought a mountain cannon.

What does this mean?

This means that there must be someone on the grassland who is colluding with the Russians, otherwise how could they transport the mountain artillery? In addition, they were bombarded as soon as they arrived, probably because the herdsmen behind them tipped off.

And it was not just one or two mountain artillery pieces, the sound of the artillery pieces rumbled across the banks of the Kerulen River.

The Lubinfu army did not bring any artillery pieces here, so Hu Da could only retreat before there were any casualties.

He found Sukhbaru and said, "It's time for the Blizzard Squad to go on the field. You sneak into the rear and take down the enemy's artillery camp. With the signal flare as an agreement, we will immediately attack and assist. Be careful and remember to avoid the minefield."

Hu Da is the theoretical commander-in-chief of this operation.

Sukhbaru clasped his fists and agreed, and went back to mobilize his subordinates.

The Blizzard Squad was a special emergency special forces unit specially split after the joint tiger hunting team attacked Lubinfu.

The team was composed of the sharpshooters of the Sauron soldiers who were originally hunting masters.

They left, and Zhao Chuanxin followed behind.

They rode fast horses first, circled for nearly 15 kilometers in the south, abandoned the horses, took off the leather bags containing blankets, and crawled into the dry grass by the Kerulen River.

So far, they had completely given up mobility and went deep into the enemy's battle alone.

Daryaqi saw a sentry hiding behind a stone in front of him, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, moved forward alone, tiptoed closer, and moved with his back against the stone.

As fast as lightning, he leaned forward, covered his mouth, and stabbed the opponent's neck with a short knife.

One, two, three times, he broke the opponent's vocal cords horizontally.

Sukhbaru waved his hand, and the rest of the people filed out.

However, when crossing a tributary, someone might have broken the ice surface, or fished, or got ice, or dug a river to get water, so that a member of the Blizzard team accidentally stepped on the thin ice.

Crack, plop...

"Ah..."

He shouted instinctively.

Before his comrades could react, Zhao Chuanxin appeared, grabbed the man's arm and lifted him up, throwing him aside.

However, this cry alarmed the guards.

Bang, bang, bang...

Gunfire rang out for a while.

Everyone hurried to the shore, looking for cover to fight back.

Xingyue said: "In a hurry, they did not cross fire cover, resulting in many people being exposed and shot in a bunker. Not to mention that some people did not overcome their fear instinct and actually cried out when they fell into an ice hole."

A qualified special forces soldier should not cry out even if his eyebrows were burned.

Six or seven people were killed and injured in an instant, all because of this.

Zhao Chuanxin saw this, and did not look for cover, but walked forward.

The Blizzard team soldiers widened their eyes when they saw it.

Zhao Chuanxin took the Mosin-Nagant and fired a shot.

There was a scream from the other side.

Then he stood behind a soldier in an orderly manner, lit a cigar and said: "Now, the other side will see the smoke and focus fire here. You two sides take the opportunity to counterattack and cover me, and attract firepower, and then I will fight back."

Sure enough, the large amount of smoke rising from the cigar was like a target in such a close-range fight.

Bang bang bang...

Stone chips flew.

A piece of broken stone cut Zhao Chuanxin's neck, and after a little bleeding, it was immediately stopped by the blood-locking membrane.

But everyone saw that Zhao Chuanxin didn't blink, his eyelids drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep.

This calmness is contagious.

Even the prefect is not afraid, what are they afraid of? Is their life more noble than the prefect's?

So they all stuck their heads out to fight back.

Sure enough, the firepower was dispersed, and Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stuck his head out while the other side was pulling the bolt.

Bang.

A shot to the head.

The others remembered the content of the training at this time and began to cross fire to cover and move forward.

Zhao Chuanxin did not hide, and did not even wear chaos armor. He just wore glasses and followed the others, forming a team with the soldiers beside him to take care of each other.

Of course, the others might not be able to hit the target in a panic.

However, Zhao Chuanxin emptied the five bullets of Mosin Nagant, and every shot hit the target.

Sukhbaru shouted: "Quick, quick, remove the artillery position before they surround them."

Zhao Chuanxin saw a group of people coming from the northeast corner through his glasses.

Looking at the distribution of light spots and the speed of advance, he thought that this group of people was not a regular army.

However, when they appeared, the enemy's firepower increased sharply.

This was a group of quick shooters.

This was the first mission after the Blizzard team was established, and Zhao Chuanxin had to reduce the difficulty for them step by step.

So he took out the Black Widow puppet and threw it out.

The Black Widow puppet rolled in the air to find a stable balance and landed, with eight legs alternating and running close to the ground like flying, and no one noticed it.

…

A group of bandits are rushing to help.

Although they are wild, their marksmanship is even better than that of ordinary soldiers.

The army will limit the number of ammunition for shooting, but this group of bandits is not troubled by that. They usually shoot more than ordinary soldiers.

The sentry here was originally in a tough battle, but with their arrival, the pressure was reduced.

The morale of these heroes was boosted for a while: "Hehe, Zhao Chuanxin, nothing more than that."

Just finished speaking.

Bang bang bang bang...

The sound of gunfire came from the side.

One by one, the heroes were shot in the head.

Those who were still alive only saw a black shadow moving quickly on the ground, with gun flames bursting out, and someone fell to the ground without a flash.

Bang bang bang...

They shot at the ground, but hit nothing.
