The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Around the Forbidden City, there were many people watching the excitement.

In fact, there is usually nothing lively in the Imperial City, but it was different today. A large number of new troops were roaming around the roots of the Imperial City, and the city gates were even more tightly guarded. People even saw many sergeants entering the Forbidden City.

The people didn't understand what happened, but Duan Qirui did.

Zhao Chuanxin is coming again.

Duan Qirui looked at the towering city wall and smiled bitterly, it was so fucking outrageous.

Puyi was as confused as the people, so he asked Longyu.

Longyu said to him: "There is a villain who wants to come to the Forbidden City. We are guarding against him."

"Who is the villain?"

"The evil man's name is Zhao Chuanxin."

"How evil is he?"

"Well...he killed people without blinking an eye, and his hands were directly contaminated by hundreds...well, thousands...no, tens of thousands?" Longyu said to himself that he was confused.

How many people has Zhao Chuanxin killed?

None of the people killed by Bai Qi, the God of Killing, were killed by himself, but Zhao Chuanxin did so in person.

Puyi, who was only 3 years old, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

The murderer Zhao Chuanxin left a huge shadow on his young mind.

…

Zhao Chuanxin was currently studying the world's written language of the "Old God Codex" on the roof opposite the imperial city.

Xingyue told him that runes are easy to say but difficult to say.

Runes are not physical objects. Runes are rules, formulas, the energy order of material transformation, and a channel for changing the direction of energy.

The so-called empowerment is to open the passage through worm silk and gems.

The more Zhao Chuanxin listened, the more he thought it sounded like a circuit board.

Xingyue said: You don’t need to practice the runes, you can use them as soon as you understand them.

However, it taught Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand it anyway.

Xingyue asked Zhao Chuanxin to meditate, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't remember the direction of the lines that were too complicated to fit on a piece of paper.

Master Jia said that only one genius out of ten thousand can master the runes. Zhao Chuanxin didn't believe it at first, but now he's a little resigned to his fate.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Xingyue: "What should I do to directly master the runes?"

Xingyue said: Just like before, you ask the person who masters the runes to give "me" as a reward. If "I" gets it, you will get it too.

It's like balancing act.

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: Let the Desert Emperor give me a rune reward? Just dream.

While he was studying, he stared down below, preparing to sneak into the Forbidden City at night.

Guangxu and Cixi both died. How can we have a sense of historical existence if we don't participate in this kind of thing? How can you increase the power of faith?

Xingyue also said: In the rune fragment shop in Rune City, the parent sequence rune fragments cost 100,000 gold coins, the sub-sequence rune fragments cost 30,000 gold coins, and a mid-level azure crystal cost 50,000 gold coins. The Flying Fish Spine Whip is 4 meters long and has 20 sections. To transform it requires one parent sequence rune fragment, 20 sub-sequence rune fragments, and a total of 750,000 gold coins including the azure crystal.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that Xingyue's mouth was a bit broken.

I couldn't see it before without the conditions.

"I think 750,000 gold coins is more cost-effective to buy guns and cannons."

Xingyue: There must be pursuit.

"There are several pursuits, and you can't do anything without cost-effectiveness."

Xingyue said: From what I know about you, you cannot think as hard as Zhao Zhongyi, even if you are much more diligent than before, so you cannot command troops. The value of your existence does not lie in the number of troops, but in your own deterrence to the great powers. Moreover, your personal money should not be confused with public funds, otherwise you will recruit private soldiers, which is an atavistic feudalism for a nation and country. The regression...

Xingyue chatters endlessly. It can be used for a variety of purposes. It can calculate various accounts for Zhao Chuanxin, teach, and can also observe surrounding trends and analyze the environment.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little cold: "Just put it in, let's go back and come back in the evening."

It’s still the same copper-framed ornament with eyeballs, placed casually on the roof.

Xingyue turned on her true vision, and Zhao Chuanxin saw the corner room of Morrison Library, and at the same time opened the Holy Light Channel.

This time Zhao Chuanxin only saw the room through his glasses, and was teleported over in the next second. After he was convinced that he really had this ability, he silently said to himself in his heart - he would never let anyone except himself in this world Anyone has this ability.

No way!

Xingyue still nags: You should take me to Morrison's library so I can study.

Zhao Chuanxin was convinced: "Can you calm down for a while? I'll get some books and you can get inside the black puppet craftsman's body and read for yourself."

He went to the library and took about thirty books and fifty maps under Xingyue's guidance.

"Celestial Mechanics" by Plath in France, "Research on Arithmetic" by Gauss in Germany, "Geometry of Position" by Poincare in France, "On the Basis of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers" by Cantor in Germany...

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin discover that throughout the 19th century, almost all the masterpieces on mathematics were from France and Germany, with a few from the UK...

In addition to mathematics, Xingyue picked books on physics, chemistry, language, and geography, as well as a set of 48 volumes of "World History."

Zhao Chuanxin took the book back to the bedroom and asked Xingyue to control the black puppet craftsman to fix it on the table and read the book by himself.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the "Old God Code".

[The sales of Pioneer Partner Haven fluctuate up and down. How many goods are sold depends on the speed of word-of-mouth spread about fused quartz glass, but the sales targets are mainly high-income groups in the Upper East District of Rune City. Most of the teenagers who usually like to come to my place also live there. over there. 】

[Because of these teenagers, I added tables and chairs at the Pioneer Partner Haven. 】

[I am not a stingy person, I often make them a cup of free tea. 】

All kinds of tea were sent by Zhao Chuanxin, but they were not available in Rune City.

[A young man asked me: What kind of drink is this? I think my dad would have loved it. 】

[I said: This is called - jasmine tea. 】

[Young man asked: Can you sell me some? 】

Zhao Chuanxin took advantage of every opportunity and wrote:

[I said: Yes, but it’s very expensive. 】

He was crazy about money.

The stars and the moon are biological intelligence, the treasures and miracles of the remnants of creatures. Because of the stars and the moon, the entire Middle-earth continent hates the remnants of creatures, and they must be driven away and killed. Isn't that a kind of fear?

Xingyue knew Zhao Chuanxin very well. Zhao Chuanxin looked impatient on the surface, but actually he had already heard what it said in his heart.

It is right to say that personal wealth should not be confused with Lubin Mansion. Zhao Chuanxin cannot control a huge army. That is not a management ability that can be supported by personal charm.

[The young man asked: How much? 】

[I hesitated in my heart. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

[I said: This is a very rare plant. The drink prepared using a secret method has a special and long-lasting aroma, a fresh and sweet taste, a bright yellow-green soup, and a mellow and refreshing taste. Jasmine tea can also enhance immunity and delay aging. Although jasmine tea has countless advantages and is rare, the price is not high, only 5 gold coins per ball of sand. 】

A ball of sand is a special kind of sand from the cursed desert. It has the same weight, so it is used as a unit of measurement. Zhao Chuanxin learned when he was studying with Xingyue that a ball of sand is approximately equal to the weight of 39g of the earth.

Tea at this time was the same as in later generations, and the price of high-end tea was outrageous. There was a scented tea called Qifeng Yinghua that cost as much as 30 yuan a pound.

But what Zhao Chuanxin bought was just ordinary scented tea.

His setting of 5 gold coins and 39g is even more outrageous, but the asking price for rare goods should be tough. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade.

In the future, there will be higher-end teas, which will cost more.

[The young man hesitated, but still took out 5 gold coins and said: Bring me a ball of jasmine tea with sand, and I will let my father try it. If he likes it, he will buy it again. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said to everyone: Everyone, there is another kind of fabric for making clothes called satin. It is silky, comfortable, radiant, noble, elegant, and has beautiful prints. I can guarantee that you have never heard of it or seen it. When you wear it, you will have a high rate of turning heads. People say they are envious. The older girls and younger daughters-in-law wear Sai Tianxian, and the young men and gentlemen wear Qi Sai Tianxian! 】

Send the purchased silk to me as soon as you finish writing.

[Everyone was really amazed when they saw the silk and satin. After touching it, they were full of praise and asked me: How much does it cost? 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: Good things are not expensive. A black dragon horn of silk and satin, the cheapest is only 1 gold coin, the slightly better one is 2 gold coins, the best is 5 gold coins, and the top quality silk is 15 gold coins per black dragon horn. 】

The black dragon horn is also a unit of length. Legend has it that a desert emperor encountered a sand bandit. The sand bandit rode a black dragon to attack the desert emperor. The desert emperor killed him and took the dragon horn. Since then, the black dragon horn has been used as the unit of length. The length of a black dragon horn is about 40 centimeters. about.

This is what Xingyue told him

Zhao Chuanxin asked for a lot of money.

[Someone hesitated and said: I want 1 gold coin per black dragon horn of silk and satin. Give me 10 gold coins of silk and satin. Take it home and show it to my mother. If she likes me, she can buy something more expensive. 】

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth.

This is how monopoly business works.

Rune City Trust!

After the refreshed physical strength went offline, Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

Xingyue said: I have finished reading.

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "Are you sure you remember?"

Xingyue said: Read it once and remember it all.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to throw the book on the library table, but Xingyue easily understood his intention like a roundworm in his stomach. He marked the original location of the books on the bookshelf on his glasses in advance, and even planned the most time-saving and effort-saving location. route.

Fortunately, it has no independent consciousness and no emotions or desires that humans should have.

…

Guangxu was an emperor who suffered physical and mental torture for a long time.

Putting aside the position of "Qing", he once wanted to take charge of the government and get rid of the shadow of Cixi, refused to join the main war, sought changes to become stronger, and carried out the Reform Movement of 1898. In the end, he was imprisoned by Yingtai...

Judging from these deeds, he struggled hard.

It is said that the old eunuch who served Guangxu saw that the window paper of Hanyuan Palace was broken and Guangxu's face turned blue from the cold, so he asked someone to cover it up. As a result, Cixi said: "You are quite capable?"

The old eunuch was frightened to death and never dared to meddle in other people's affairs.

It is said that the imperial physician who treated Guangxu had to listen to Cixi's opinions before proceeding with the diagnosis and treatment. He also had to listen to Cixi's opinion on how to treat Guangxu. He also had to listen to Cixi's advice on how to record the diagnosis and treatment process. Cixi's.

Generally speaking, since the Gengzi Year, Guangxu has not lived a good life in these years and has not eaten any good pork.

Guangxu's body was weak and he even had sores in his throat.

But he is more energetic this year than last year.

Cixi hopes that he will die before her, but what does it mean that you are getting more energetic?

West Garden of the Forbidden City.

A eunuch carried a food box and placed it on the table. He said to Guangxu: "Long live the Lord, the old Buddha ordered his servants to bring the reward of Tala."

Guangxu's complexion has not been very good these years. He is not only listless, but also has a decayed complexion.

Tala is yogurt.

Regardless of whether Guangxu wanted to eat or drink, as long as Cixi rewarded him, even if it was a bowl of urine, he would hold his nose and drink it while thanking him profusely.

As soon as Guangxu picked up the bowl, he heard someone sneer from somewhere.

It was getting dark at this time, and there were many shadowy places in the room that were not illuminated.

Guangxu and the eunuch were both surprised. They looked around but found no one.

Everyone feels scalp numb.

"Go and see, who is so bold?" Guangxu was an emperor after all, and he still possessed the majesty of an emperor even though he was imprisoned.

The eunuch plucked up the courage, looked around, and came back and said, "Long live my lord, there is no one."

Guangxu breathed a sigh of relief and asked the eunuch: "How is the old Buddha doing now?"

He knew that Cixi's condition had worsened in the past few days, but he did not know that she was terminally ill.

The eunuch sneered: "The old Buddha will live a long life and be full of energy."

Guangxu then drank the yogurt.

As soon as I finished drinking and put down the bowl, I heard a voice saying: "There should be arsenic in what you just drank. No need to struggle, you will die soon. If I were you, I would call someone quickly and tell this matter." Get out and don’t let yourself die in an unknown way.”

"Who?" Guangxu was really furious.

The eunuch was so frightened that his legs became weak and he could hardly stand still.

In the darkness, a figure emerged.

Let’s call it a human being because it is in human form. But this man has black and white lines intertwined all over his body, he is tall, and his black and white lines are integrated into one.

Inexplicably, it reminds people of the black and white impermanence of life.

The eunuch sat down on the ground.

Guangxu was also frightened half to death.

However, the head of this "thing" suddenly shrank to both sides.

The soft gold armor's mask hides powered worm threads and can be pulled apart to both sides, leaving only the goggles.

After the mask was pulled away, Zhao Chuanxin's face was revealed, but his eyes were covered.

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "Don't panic, my name is Zhao Chuanxin, have you heard of me?"

The eunuch trembled.

When Zhao Chuanxin bombarded the Forbidden City and fired machine guns at Cixi's residence from the roof, one of Li Lianying's amputated arms was Zhao Chuanxin's masterpiece.

The eunuch was there at that time.

At that time, Zhao Chuanxin did not have the elusive ability now, and did not have the powerful force value now.

Guangxu's body was trembling and he asked, "Is it Zhao Chuanxin who just won the battle with the Russians in the north?"

"Yes, it's me." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "Your stomach will hurt soon. You'd better hurry up. What you drank is poisonous."

Guangxu looked at the empty bowl and then at Zhao Chuanxin: "Why? Why is this?"

"Why? Cixi will die tomorrow at most. Why do you think this is?"

Guangxu's expression changed drastically: "I..."

"Stop it, if you have anything to say, please tell me and I will help you spread the word."

Guangxu suddenly felt sweat on his forehead and his facial muscles began to twist.

He said eagerly: "I want everyone to know the cause of my death."

He already believed what Zhao Chuanxin said.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, and the soft golden armor cracked from behind. Zhao Chuanxin took a step back and walked out, while Kong Jia stood still.

He spread his palms and raised his voice: "I want everyone to know the cause of my death!"

The sound is so loud, loud, and spreads so far that it is far beyond what normal people can produce.

The dark night is conducive to the propagation of sound. The maximum propagation distance of normal human voice is only 200 meters, but the sound of vocal organs far exceeds this range.

And Guangxu clearly heard that the voice was exactly the same as his, just countless times louder.

His sickly body would never be able to produce such a loud voice.

Guangxu understood.

He hurriedly said: "My dear father, why did you give me Poison Tala?"

Zhao Chuanxin hated the cold.

Kiss dad?

What the hell is this called?

He didn't know that this was how Guangxu called Cixi on weekdays. He wasn't called Lafayette, nor the Empress Dowager, nor Ama'er Niang, but just "Dad."

But Zhao Chuanxin really didn't want to imitate him like this, so he changed his words without permission: "Cixi, why did you give me the poison Tala? Are you afraid that you will die before me?"

Guangxu's expression was painful, but he smiled bitterly and said, "People in the palace, listen, I taught Cixi to die."

Zhao Chuanxin retells.

In Leshou Hall, Cixi, who was already very weak, seemed to hear something.

He asked the eunuch: "Go out and ask, what is that sound?"

Pu Liang, the Minister of Rites who was waiting outside, looked very ugly, but said to the eunuch: "I didn't hear clearly."

The eunuch turned around and asked others, but they also said they didn't hear clearly.

The eunuch didn't dare to return to his life like this, so he hurried outside to inquire about others.

At this moment, there was a faint echo from the west: "Cixi harmed me, I, I..."

The eunuch's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran back.

Entering the Hall of Longevity and Longevity, he hurriedly whispered a few words to Cixi.

Cixi was originally weak, but now her eyes widened: "How is that possible?"

She was anxious and wanted to struggle to get up.

"Go quickly and send someone to stop him..."

In Xiyuan, Guangxu's face was covered with sweat in pain, and his face was extremely pale.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a test tube and said, "I may have a way to delay your death for a while. Do you want to die now or later?"

Guangxu gritted his teeth: "I will die later."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Okay, then open your mouth."

Guangxu opened his mouth, Zhao Chuanxin unscrewed the lid of the test tube, and a line of water entered Guangxu's mouth.

Guangxu suddenly felt like a knife was twisting in his stomach, which was another kind of pain different from poison.

But after I recovered, I felt that my sluggish spirit had been lifted up.

Abdominal pain is still painful, after all, vitality spring water cannot detoxify.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said: "I hope you can die after Cixi, and I will take the first step."

Guangxu reluctantly called him: "Mr. Zhao..."

He didn't know what to call him, but in front of Zhao Chuanxin, he certainly didn't dare to think of himself as emperor. Not to mention that Zhao Chuanxin is haunted, and entering and exiting the palace is like entering a deserted land. Not to mention Zhao Chuanxin's military strength, he can still win against thousands of troops without changing their expressions.

Those few moves alone shocked Guangxu.

So he followed the folk example and called Zhao Chuanxin - Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Chuanxin put on the soft gold armor again and said, "Don't beg me, I'm not a doctor, I can't save you."

"Don't ask you to save me." Guangxu struggled to hold on to the table and tried to get up, but failed: "I just want to ask Mr. Zhao, why didn't you stop me before I took the poison? Why are you helping me now?"

"Haha, stop you? Let your Qing Dynasty linger on for a few more years? You are thinking too much." Zhao Chuanxin simply lit a cigarette and walked to the door casually: "I am just here to cause trouble for Cixi, this old immortal I’ve been wanted for several years, can I let her go away peacefully?”

While talking, a guard rushed in.

Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have expected it. He grabbed the guard's pigtails by the door and punched him. The guard's head was hit so hard that it hit the wall. He collapsed and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

The guard behind him was startled and hurriedly wanted to draw the knife. Zhao Chuanxin finally reached out and pressed the back of the guard's hand. It was like steel poured into iron. The guard could not draw the knife no matter what.

Zhao Chuanxin blew a puff of cigarette smoke on the guard's face: "I am Zhao Chuanxin. I don't want to kill anyone today. If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you."

When the guard heard this, his body began to tremble.

Zhao Chuanxin let go, but the guards did not dare to move rashly.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled with satisfaction: "Did you hear what Emperor Guangxu just said?"

The guard nodded stiffly.

"Very good. You can ask the emperor for proof later. I'll take the first step. I won't accompany you!"
