The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

From the pangolin, Zhao Chuanxin roughly learned that because Lao Zhang had "become a good man", Du Lisan had disbanded the "soldiers and horses" and ceased activities to clean up his reputation, the insurance team had retreated to Lugang Town due to the situation, and the backwater army was unable to fight the Japanese on Jiandao. On the occasion of the opening of business...

For a certain period of time, there was a vacuum outside the customs for gangsters and bandits.

It just so happened that during this period of time, Meng Di was in trouble, and Meng bandits took advantage of the situation and rose up.

Some Mongolian bandits did bad things, but because they resisted reclamation and were supported by the local Mongolian people, their ranks swelled like a snowball.

While another part of the Mongolian bandits resisted reclamation, they also killed Japanese people who had evil intentions.

There are so many disturbances, it’s hard to say which one is better and which one is worse.

Call them good people, they often kill Han people, because it was the migration of the Han people that led to the colonization of the aristocracy; call them bad people, they are also hostile to Tsarist Russia and the Japanese, and they will kill them as soon as they are caught.

Zhao Chuanxin took out two boxes of Laodao brand cigarettes and stuffed them into the pangolin's pocket: "Okay, let's get over it. Remember not to do anything wrong, and tell Du Lizi to keep a low profile, the storm is coming."

The pangolin nodded and bowed.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that Bayar's forehead had come out, and he glanced at Lu Xiaojia again: "You are young. When the wind blows, remember not to pee against the wind, otherwise it will blow on your face."

Lu Xiaojia: "..."

He was actually very angry, but he didn't dare to resist at this time.

Haven’t you seen the pangolin and the others acting like a mouse meets a cat?

He was going to go back and report it to his father, asking him to deal with this rogue.

I don’t believe I can’t cure him!

He didn't take Zhao Chuanxin's warning to heart at all.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Let's go."

The pangolin watched Zhao Chuanxin and Bayar Bo'e leave in silence.

Several other people said in a mischievous manner: "Brother, can you share the cigarettes Mr. Zhao gave you with your brothers to try?"

"Go and have a drink. Can you smoke the cigarettes Mr. Zhao gave you?"

"Isn't that what cigarettes are for?" the man said aggrievedly.

"Stop talking nonsense, take Mr. Lu back home, and I will visit Commander Lu personally."

Pangolin went to Lu Mansion.

Last year, Lu Yongxiang led troops to exterminate Zhou Enbo, the most famous gangster in Jinxi area. This thief led more than a thousand people, kidnapped and robbed people, repeatedly refused the officers and soldiers, and refused to accept the recruits at all, which gave Zhao Erxun a headache.

So Lu Yongxiang was sent to lead troops to fight.

Lu Yongxiang should have been able to perform meritorious service, but when he led the troops, cavalry, and artillery teams to suppress Hongluo Mountain, this week Enbo actually received the news in advance and ran away.

Lu Yongxiang's troops were divided into three groups, from Nuannchi, Jiangjiatun, and Xintaimen respectively, biting tightly like maggots on the tarsus.

Even though the mountain was steep and there were many strange rocks and peaks, Lu Yongxiang still broke through three levels in a row with overwhelming momentum.

Just as it was gradually taking effect, and he was about to make a contribution, suddenly there was a storm, lightning and thunder, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

This gave Zhou Enbo a chance to escape.

Later, he was intercepted by the New Army who set up a blockade and captured Zhou Enbo. Zhao Erxun, the general of Shengjing at that time, gave an order to execute Zhou Enbo on the spot.

Therefore, the credit is not that great, otherwise perhaps Lu Yongxiang might be promoted ahead of Zhang Zuolin.

Lu Yongxiang was reading a battle report from Eastern Mongolia. The battle report said that the "King outside the Pass", Lao Zhang, was chasing Tao Ke Tao Hu with his tail.

Suddenly I heard someone reporting that someone from Du Lisan was visiting.

Lu Yongxiang's heart moved and he ordered someone to be brought in. Could it be that he came to show his filial piety again?

Pangolins are also very agitated, so they knelt down to apologize first.

He couldn't afford to take the blame for Zhao Chuanxin, but Lu Yongxiang could just as easily crush him to death.

So he has to adapt to the wind.

The pangolin didn't give in, and knelt down to tell the story.

Lu Yongxiang was startled: "Are you sure that person is Zhao Chuanxin?"

"It's absolutely true. I fought with Mr. Zhao to resist Mao Zi. Mr. Zhao's marksmanship was superb. He shot down people with the sound of his gun and never failed. How could he admit his mistake?"

Lu Yongxiang slammed the table: "This traitor has caused me trouble."

The pangolin became silent.

After waiting for a while, Lu Yongxiang waved his hand: "Get up, and remember not to meddle in his business and cause trouble for me."

"Thank you, Commander Lu, for your forgiveness."

After the pangolin exited the hall, Lu Xiaojia ran in: "Dad, Ala..."

"Young man, go back to Shanghai tomorrow!"

Lu Xiaojia was dumbfounded when she saw her furious father: "But Dad, that rogue even threatened to break your legs, is this all?"

"What?" Lu Yongxiang stood up suddenly: "Did he really say that? You tell me the exact words!"

Lu Xiaojia thought that her father was finally angry and wanted the man to look good, so she added more jealously: "That rogue threatened to discipline your son for you. He also said evilly, if Allah keeps acting up again, I will break your legs first, and then interrupt……"

"Bleach!" Lu Yongxiang stepped forward and slapped him.

Lu Xiaojia: "Dad, you..."

"You actually brought trouble to me. You should be brighter in the future and dare to provoke anyone. I really screwed you! Fortunately, it was just a warning..."

"Ah...Dad, who is that rogue?"

"Don't worry about who it is, return to Shanghai as soon as possible tomorrow!"

Although they have never met, Lu Yongxiang knows that he cannot offend Zhao Chuanxin. That guy really dared to poke a hole in the sky, far beyond those grass bandits.

This time, Lu Xiaojia was really scared.

Even his father was afraid of this man like a tiger. He was probably even more powerful than Xu Shichang.

…

Zhao Chuanxin and Bayar Bor bought two horses and galloped northwest.

The road was vast and sparsely populated, until it got dark and dark clouds were approaching and it was going to rain again.

The autumn wind and autumn rain are so sad.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that there was no village in front of him and no store in the back, so he took out the tent and the two of them worked together to set it up.

This year I have had enough of my wild camping addiction.

Canvas was stretched around to protect it from the wind, while cowskin and sheepskin were draped over the top to protect it from the rain.

After everything was sorted, Zhao Chuanxin took out the stove, erected and fixed the chimney.

I marinated some shrimps bought from Jinzhou City with pepper and cornstarch, put them in the pot, and then beat them into the eggs. The eggs need to be mixed with some water and starch into the pot, and the shrimp and eggs are ready.

Cut the kidney beans into pieces and stir-fry them until they change color. Then add the pork and stir-fry out the fat. Lift the pot to cool down. Add the onions and garlic and fry the pot. Add the stir-fried kidney beans, oil, sugar, soy sauce, thirteen spices... Stir-fry for a while and add water. stew.

Bayar did not eat pork before, but Zhao Chuanxin could not bear it. Zhao Chuanxin missed pork so much and was always cooking. If Bayar did not eat it, he would starve to death.

He never thought he could eat seafood before.

He took a bite of shrimps and eggs and sighed: "I have eaten a lot of miscellaneous food in the palace, so why can't I compare with the food you cook?"

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to tell him that his condiments were rich in spices, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep it a mystery.

Without mentioning anything else, he dared to say that there must be no bug-level seasoning like the fuel-consuming oil he refined in the palace on the grassland.

The global climate has not warmed yet, and the exhaust gas is not enough to raise the temperature. At this time, the autumn outside Guan is already very cold.

The continuous autumn rain cuts people like a knife.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the wooden boards he purchased, and spliced ​​two half-meter-long boards together, with three beams nailed together underneath.

Placed on the ground, in front of the beams are the pillars, and one fan for each person can be used as a bed board.

Taking out the quilt, the two of them lay down and made do for the night.

Although Bayar's forehead is old, he can just touch the pillow.

People who have faith in their hearts can always sleep more soundly than others.

With the lantern beside him, Zhao Chuanxin lay down and took out the "Old God Codex".

[Life on board is boring. 】

[Besides eating, drinking and sleeping, our favorite thing to do is to go on the deck and wait for the first mate and trade officer to tell stories, waiting for them to fall into an endless quarrel like the sea. 】

[We waited for a long time before the trade officer came to the deck. His face was not very good. 】

[No one is really healthy when sailing on the sea for a long time, because there is a lack of various nutritional supplements. 】

[I asked with concern: Trade Officer, are you okay? 】

[Actually, I want to know if he still has the energy to tell stories today. 】

[The trade officer took out an exquisite gold-plated silver flask and took a sip of wine. His face became much rosier. 】

[I wanted to pick a topic, so I pointed to his wine bottle and asked: Why is there a mouse engraved on your wine bottle? There's something sinister about it. 】

[The trade officer showed a strange smile: Evil? I don't think so. You have to know that some creatures that are uglier than mice can be worshiped as gods, such as the legendary evil god and devil. It looks like a hundred-year-old rag that always likes to float in the sky. It is smelly and rotten. 】

Zhao Chuanxin originally didn't care about this plot, thinking it was just a formality.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

When the trade officer mentioned the Demon King, he cheered up and took a closer look.

In addition to the nine pages of the Demon King's "Devil's Code" that were absorbed by the smart gyroscope, there is still one left, which he usually folds into a paper pig to watch the door while sleeping.

[Brother asked curiously: Trade officer, can you continue to tell the story of Hongdao? 】

[The trade officer showed a brief confused look on his face: Red Island? Child, I can only say that it is a place cursed by life and soul. When you get to the island, be sure not to wander around, otherwise it may cause incalculable catastrophic consequences. 】

[The younger sister raised her head and said: My brother is not an ordinary child. He has killed the Styx elves, killed the remnants of creatures, and never flinched from fighting side by side with the Fearless Vanguard. 】

[At this time, the first officer’s voice came from behind us: Kill the Styx elves and the remnants of creatures? My child, do you think that the remnants of arrogant creatures in Middle-earth are terrifying existences? No, there are countless terrifying sea monsters in the sea. The largest ones are called gods, which can easily kill all remaining creatures. Lord Runzhi, one of the legendary old gods, is a sea monster. And the people on Red Island can kill this kind of sea monster. Who do you think is more powerful? 】

[The elf scout heard this and couldn't help but ask him: Mr. First Mate, how big is the ocean? 】

[The first mate habitually began to show off: the so-called Age of Discovery opened up by Middle-earth and the East was nothing more than a voyage between the corners of the two continents. 】

[He gestured with his hands: From the map, it looks like two ferocious beasts stepping on the sea, facing each other head-to-head. We just walked the shortest distance, which was between the mouths of the two giant beasts. We can't even go around from other places, because there is no place to resupply in the middle, and there are more elusive sea monsters in the wider sea, and they are so powerful that you and I can't even imagine. 】

Zhao Chuanxin also learned about the appearance of the world in the "Old God Code" for the first time.

The tit-for-tat beast heads mentioned by the first mate can be imagined as the "Bering Strait" of that world.

It's just that the distance between the Bering Straits is too big.

The rest of the area is too large to be insurmountable.

Then the size of this planet will be very large, but if the gravity is similar to that of the Earth, then the density of the planet in the "Old God Codex" world will be much smaller than that of the Earth.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin felt that except for the two continents on the east and west, the rest of the land could not be all sea water. It was just inaccessible and no one knew what was there.

[The elf scout was stunned when he heard this, and murmured to himself: God, it turns out the world is so big. 】

[The first mate nodded: Yes, if there was no Red Island, perhaps even the Age of Discovery would not have appeared, because before we reached the cursed desert, we would have run out of ammunition and died at sea. 】

[While talking, the mender who climbed up the mast suddenly shouted from above: There are ships in the distance, Lord Runzhi bless you, there are sea monsters in front, and those ships are rounding up the sea monsters! 】

[The first mate quickly took out the telescopic telescope and took a look. His lips were trembling with excitement and his beard was trembling. 】

[I asked: First mate, what happened in the distance? 】

[The first mate muttered: It’s blood, blood dyed the sea red. 】

[Then the first mate shouted hysterically: Detour, detour quickly. 】

[After shouting, he put away the telescope, took the rudder, and started to yaw. 】

[We all get nervous. 】

[The boat began to rock violently, and we clung to the side of the boat to maintain balance. The first mate ordered the sails to be filled and they moved forward with all their might. 】

[Just when we thought we were out of danger, the ship repairman yelled again: No, they are moving towards us. 】

[No matter how the first mate turns the rudder, the other party seems to have locked onto us and changes direction at any time. 】

[The distance gradually got closer, and I could see clearly the true appearance of the sea monster. 】

[The sea monster has a long body with links on its body. Under the sun, its body is very flat, glowing with metallic luster, and has sharp short spikes on both sides. 】

[I saw it suddenly jump up from the side of a ship. The ship's hull saw sawdust flying and a gap was sawed out. 】

[I can see it, and so can others. 】

[Everyone panicked. The captain came out at this time and even gave an order to turn the ship around. 】

[The first mate said anxiously: We cannot turn around at this time, otherwise it will delay the escape time, and there are insufficient supplies on the ship. If the delay exceeds three days, we will face the risk of dying of hunger and thirst. 】

[But the captain insisted on his own way. He said: The wind direction of the U-turn is in our favor at this time. We cannot be eaten by sea monsters before we starve to death. 】

[Although the first mate was unwilling to do so, he could only obey the captain's order. 】

[Sure enough, during the U-turn, a ship in front rushed towards us like an arrow. This ship also attracted the sea monster. 】

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin's body was also tense, but he did not use the Holy Light Channel to go in to see what was going on, because he could not help at the moment.

[Our boat just turned around, and the boats behind us were already catching up. 】

[I anxiously asked Sang Ling: Can you think of a way to get us out of danger? 】

[Sangling didn’t say anything, but I couldn’t help but fly up. 】

[I shouted in the air: Let me down. 】

[But the soul was unmoved and actually took me flying towards the ship behind. 】

[I was in the air and saw the sea monster's long body sticking out of the sea, and it even passed me by. 】

[Its body seems to be covered with armor and is invulnerable. Its head is divided into two halves and has five tentacles. It has a pair of closed jaws, which are shining with cold light and look very sharp just by looking at them. 】

[I was startled and broke into a cold sweat. 】

Zhao Chuanxin didn't quite understand why Shang Ling was taking "me" to the dangerous ship behind him right now.

[At this time, I saw a tall and strong woman standing on the bow of the ship behind me. Her exposed arms and legs were a beautiful wheat color. The bridge of her nose was so straight, and her eyes were like those of a baby. clear. 】

[Just when I was stunned, I heard the captain on the opposite side say: We should not lead the sea monster to them, they are innocent. You are the best huntress in our Red Island, you must have a way, right? 】

[The huntress's eyes were still so clear and kind, but she said vicious words: They are just strangers, what does their life and death have to do with me? As long as the sea monster opens its mouth, they will die a worthy death. 】

[Captain is displeased: You are too cold-blooded. Aren’t you afraid that you will be cursed if you do this? 】

[The huntress said coldly: I did this to save the nun. I need the mortal liquid in the belly of the sea monster to treat the nun. The curse is just a boring legend. 】

[Captain reminds: I know that the female monk is like your mother. But it was her arrogance that allowed you to develop such an unscrupulous temperament. Hey, may Lord Run protect these poor people. 】

[Only then did I realize that the ship had deliberately attracted the sea monster. 】

[At this time, I also landed on the boat. 】

[The huntress immediately raised the hunting knife in her hand and made an attack. 】

[I quickly said: I don’t mean any harm, I come from the ship in front. 】

[The female hunter listened and sneered: Did you hear everything just now? That would just kill you and silence you. 】

[I saw this clear-eyed female hunter with a beautiful face turned out to be so ferocious and evil. I was immediately startled and took out my Lugang M1907 and shot at her. 】

[The huntress immediately raised an unknown scale, and the bullet hit the scale and splashed with fire. 】

[Other crew members also threw javelins at me. 】

[The dead soul immediately took me back the way I came, making all attacks fail. 】

[Sang Ling said: I saw that they deliberately attracted the sea monster. I thought they would be safe on the ship, but I didn’t expect it to be a group of evil people. 】

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

[The enraged sea monster jumped up again after approaching our ship. The harsh sound of its body rubbing against the ship gave me chills. 】

[I saw that the side of the ship was only slightly damaged, and before I had time to think about it, I took out the Madsen machine gun and shot at the sea monster. 】

[The bullet collided with the sea monster's skin and sparks flew out, unable to penetrate at all. 】

[But this also angered the sea monster. It turned around and rushed towards me in mid-air. 】

[Sangling led me to dodge left and right, avoiding several hits from the sea monster. 】

[The elf scout on the boat took out his blow dart and shot an arrow at the sea monster. 】

[The arrows of the elven scouts are quenched with the same will metal as the elven carving knife, and are extremely sharp. 】

[An arrow passed and pierced the sea monster's strong skin. 】

[The sea monster is painful, but the blow dart is too small to be fatal. It immediately gave up on me and lunged for the boat again. 】

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't care about anything else at the moment, he immediately opened the Holy Light Channel and entered it!
