Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen looks good, but his back is a little stooped.

Since Zhao Chuanxin's back was pricked with holes, Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen only had to straighten up and the wounds on his back were faintly visible.

During the healing period, due to long-term rickets, it was difficult to stand up straight after recovery.

The half-year-long painful torture also made his originally obese body become out of shape.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the man in front of him strangely: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen, who had a lot to say but didn't know how to speak, instantly felt that he had been stabbed in vain.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I am Zai Zhen. Mr. Zhao, a noble man, often forgets things."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised: "Have you succeeded in losing weight? Oh, this is really gratifying."

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen: "..."

Although the Qing Dynasty did not regard fatness as a beauty, there was no need to lose weight.

Banner people also have some unique customs. For example, if anyone has a dry mouth, he must be poor. Rich people have smooth and shiny mouths. In some harsh and cold places, silk and satin are soaked in oil and polished to show that the family is well off.

Richness is also a kind of style.

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhenting has difficulty breathing.

He coughed dryly: "Mr. Zhao, I am here to give you money on behalf of both myself and the court."

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head and said in disbelief: "Did I hear you right? Send money?"

Is this guy taking the wrong medicine?

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen took out the bill from his arms: "This is a bill from the Bank of France, totaling 2 francs."

"Oh, is this from you personally or from Cixi?" Zhao Chuanxin was delighted.

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen's face straightened: "Strictly speaking, he came from the imperial court."

Zhao Chuanxin took the note with a smile on his face: "How can you be so embarrassed about such a heavy gift? Really. In that case, I won't let you eat. If you go down the mountain now, you can still catch the ship to Shanghai."

When Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen heard this, he thought, “What the hell is that?”

Evict people after taking money?

"Wait..." He said quickly: "Actually, I still need Mr. Zhao's help."

Zhao Chuanxin sneered in his heart, knowing that the money must not be taken in vain.

He lay back down again, folded his legs, and said nothing.

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen bit the bullet: "At the time of national crisis, the Portuguese and Japanese wanted to bombard the coast with strong ships and cannons, and asked the court to arrest Mr. Zhao within a ten-day period. Mr. Zhao is one of their own, of course. We can’t catch them. Since we have a common enemy, why not use both hands, sir, to scuttle their ships..."

Zhao Chuanxin understood it instantly.

What kind of person is one of his own? Cixi probably hates him to the core.

Cixi was self-aware. She couldn't catch herself and couldn't afford to offend Japan and Portugal, so she just wanted to use money to eliminate the disaster.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his fingernails: "Oh, you don't know something. Sinking a ship is a very difficult task.

Moreover, now that the crew is equipped with weapons, if they notice it and attack in groups, I will find it difficult to resist.

This is really dangerous. "

"..." Aixinjueluo Zai Zhenxin said, didn't he just want to add more money? He took out another bill from his pocket: "Mr. Zhao, the 20,000 francs were paid by the court, and this 10,000 francs were paid by me personally."

Zhao Chuanxin accepted the money without hesitation: "It's easy to talk to, you are so generous, you are so generous to your own good, and you are truly a role model for our generation."

I have only heard of misappropriation of public funds, but never heard of subsidies out of pocket.

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen said: "To be honest, after Yang Cuixi's incident, I have resigned from all posts, but I am not reconciled to this."

This is about using money to buy fame.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly gave a meaningful smile: "Very good, this spirit of self-sacrifice for others should be made known to Cixi."

Aixinjueluo Zai Zhen didn't understand what Zhao Chuanxin wanted to express.

There were no outsiders at the scene, so he revealed to Zhao Chuanxin that he wanted to endorse him after he returned, just in case Zhao Chuanxin learned the news and would not refute it and cause trouble.

This is very important.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin was greedy, and Cixi's abacus was very good, so he prepared the money in advance.

After saying this, Aixinjueluo Zaizhen stood up and left.

Zhao Chuanxin lay down and said, "Oh, Zhao's legs and feet are not good, so I won't send you off. Goodbye."

"..."

Seeing the stranger leaving, a group of snot-nosed kids gathered around them: "Uncle, did he bring food?"

This has become a routine.

"No, he just brought a few pieces of paper."

"Huh?" A group of children were disappointed: "How stingy."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

That's much more valuable than a gift.

He stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the market to buy food."

Sniffle Kid suddenly became excited and led the way.

Follow the path towards Guanyin Temple.

A snot-nosed kid pointed at the tree and said, "Uncle, look, there is a monkey there."

Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw a black-haired gibbon hanging on a tree, looking at it curiously.

The hair on its back is especially long.

This kind of gibbon has become extinct by the 21st century.

Zhao Chuanxin waved to the tree.

Surprisingly, the black-spine ape also imitated waving at him, looking very smart.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the tree, looked up, and happened to look directly at it.

A snot-nosed kid said, "Uncle, I'll go up and catch it for you."

Another girl with a round face, who was about to enter junior high school in the 21st century, said bluntly: "Don't brag, monkeys are better than you."

"Xian Yuqing, you know nothing."

Xian Yuqing pinched his waist with both hands: "I know a lot."

At first, Zhao Chuanxin's team of snot babies only had male babies, but later on, female babies gradually joined.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Don't make a fuss, let me catch it for you."

He took a few steps back, stepped forward, stepped on the tree trunk, and climbed up the slope. After three steps, he took a handful of branches for help, and the smart gyroscope helped him pull up as hard as he could.

His speed was extremely fast, and he reached the location of the Black Ridge Ape in just a moment.

The black-spine ape was frightened, and climbed up the tree trunk with a pull-up, trying to escape.

However, Zhao Chuanxin was as nimble as the ape. He twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, twisted like a spring and then restored it again. He stretched his long arms, grabbed the soft fur on the back of the black-spine ape's neck, and sat on the thickest one. On the trunk of the tree.

Under the tree, a group of snot-nosed babies were stunned.

Xian Yuqing blinked: "Wow, uncle is more powerful than a monkey."

The snot-nosed kid next to her who had just been refuted by Xian Yuqing rolled her eyes and pointed at her and said, "Xian Yuqing, you are calling me like a monkey. I will complain to my uncle later."

Xian Yuqing stamped his foot: "Don't slander others."

Zhao Chuanxin heard it clearly from the tree. He couldn't help but smile, pulling the back of the black-spine ape's neck and giving it a wide-eyed look.

The black-spine ape is not big, weighing less than twenty kilograms in total and less than half a meter in length.
