Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Dabanov said dryly: "Mr. Zhao, let me go back and discuss it, and I will give you an answer tonight!"

Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have changed his face in a Sichuan opera. In an instant, he patted Dabanov on the arm with a gentle attitude: "That's right, don't be in a hurry, there's still a long time until noon tomorrow."

Sure enough, the rumors that Zhao Chuanxin was moody were true.

Such people are the most terrifying.

In the living room, it was like going from the cold winter to midsummer, and the tense mind relaxed again.

Dabanov resigned from the group chat and left impatiently.

Yuan Datou asked worriedly: "Tan Gong, aren't you worried about a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Miao Dao, held it two inches apart with his fingers, flicked his thumb, and a cold light flashed through it.

The Miao knife unexpectedly rose into the sky and landed at Zhao Chuanxin's feet, piercing the floor and trembling.

Yuan Datou was startled when he saw the blade in front of him.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "A bird never worries about broken branches because it trusts its own wings!"

If the talk breaks down, just do it, do it, and that’s it!

Zhang Renjun had a tacit understanding: "In this case, we should take our leave and reveal the news to the British, French and Japanese concessions."

As he said that, he winked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Yuan Datou was a little confused: The matter has not been resolved, so we are leaving now?

After leaving Bagong Tongzi Tower, Yuan Datou asked angrily: "Why didn't you communicate with me beforehand?"

Zhang Renjun said helplessly: "Governor Yuan came in a hurry and has many eyes and ears. How can I say anything?"

Yuan Datou had a hundred thousand reasons in his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "What kind of medicine are you and Zhao Chuanxian selling in the gourd?"

"Don't worry, listen to me carefully." Zhang Renjun, the old man, said: "Zhao Chuanxin gave in first to give Ba Gong hope. Then he forced him to push even further. Under the pressure, Ba Gong could not take one step back or two steps back. If there is such a big difference, I will definitely bow my head and admit defeat. I saw through his plan and cooperated with Governor Yuan to go to the British, French and Japanese concessions to reveal the news. The other concessions must be anxious, and Hulu followed suit. Just watch, at that time Zhao Chuanxin We will definitely break the concession alliance among the three countries..."

Yuan Datou stopped, looked at the flying snow in the sky, and frowned: "Is Zhao Chuanxin so scheming?"

It’s just a reckless man. Are there too many ruthless people who are short-lived in history? Aren’t they all lost in history?

No matter how you look at it, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't look like a wise and brave man!

I have never heard of any powerful advisers around him.

Zhang Renjun suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Governor Yuan, Zhao Chuanxin may be more terrifying than you and I thought. Don't underestimate him."

Yuan Datou was not convinced.

Thinking about how bumpy his road to becoming the leader of the feudal frontier was, and how difficult it was to be committed to the implementation and promotion of the New Deal along the way.

What does Zhao Chuanxin mean to him?

Yuan Datou sneered.

……

Dabanov responded to Zhao Chuanxin that night and promised to cede the "erect" of the L-shaped concession to Zhao Chuanxin.

The contract must be signed on the next day and must be witnessed by multiple parties.

The signing place was at the Russian Concession Consulate.

When Asabuki Eiji received the news, he couldn't help being dumbfounded and shouted: "Baga, a Siberian idiot, a courageous man, Zhao Chuanxin surrendered without a fight before he started a war..."

In Bagong's Tongzi Building, some students went home, while the rest chose their own rooms to sleep.

In the attic living room, the fire in the fireplace is still burning.

Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian returned in the snow.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Where have you been? Have you eaten?"

Benjamin Goldberg held a roll of paper: "Master, I just walked around and ate it."

Zhao Yixian looked tired and a little drunk: "I have eaten too, with Li Yiqin."

Li Yiqin is Li Weige, and Yiqin is his given name.

Zhao Chuanxin was drawing a map and said without raising his head: "You two will continue to move freely tomorrow."

"Oh, I know."

Zhao Chuanxin felt something was wrong. His apprentice was a little too quiet.

He looked up and asked, "What are you holding?"

Benjamin Goldberg said: "Nothing, just a roll of paper. My handwriting is too bad. I need to practice my calligraphy."

Indeed, regardless of whether the apprentice writes English or Chinese characters, it is just like a ghost.

This kid is extremely smart, but his hands-on skills are as good as a stick.

"Practice hard and try to move from level three disability to level four. At least I can wash my hands clean after going to the toilet."

"Okay, Master, I'll work hard." Benjamin Goldberg suddenly asked: "Master, do you think there is an identity that supports traveling around the world?"

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin continued to work with his head down: "Internationally wanted criminal."

"..."

No wonder Master can be so free.

……

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Since the deadline given by Zhao Chuanxin is today at noon, he will sign a contract with Dabanov around 8 o'clock in the morning.

Yuan Datou, Zhang Renjun and Sheng Xuanhuai, Hubei Han Huang Dedao and Jianghan Pass Supervisor Qi Yaoshan, and the Western Affairs Bureau promoted Jin Shihe and others served as Chinese witnesses.

The Russian representative, Obanov, will naturally be present.

At the same time, the British Consul General in Han Falaise, who is also the leader of the Hankou Consular Corps, was naturally notified to be present.

As a result, Russia couldn't hide it even if it wanted to. Japan and France also knew about it, and they followed Dian Dian to see how the situation would develop.

In addition, there were also reporters from various countries present. There were no weapons, at least cameras, pens and paper were indispensable.

As soon as he entered the conference hall of the Russian Consulate, Zhao Chuanxin found that representatives from various countries were all here.

Zhao Chuanxin was delighted: "We're all here, let's get started."

Yuan Datou couldn't help but feel funny.

In the field, representatives from various countries were outnumbered, and even the Qing court had many people present.

Only Zhao Chuanxin's side had a table and a chair, working alone.

Looking at the attitudes of all parties, some are nervous and some are angry.

On the contrary, Zhao Chuanxin, who was alone, lit up his cigarette and puffed out the smoke early. His posture was no different from usual when he got up early, had a meal and drank morning tea. The clouds were calm and the wind was frightening.

Dabanov handed the contract to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin opened it and looked at it. There was nothing wrong with it. Besides, he was not afraid of it, so he nodded and said, "Very good."

He signed his name casually.

At this time, applause suddenly rang out, but Zhang Renjun stood up with a smile on his face: "The peaceful settlement has saved the two countries from the disaster of war, which is gratifying."

Dabanov thought to himself, who is happy and who congratulates?

Why does it sound so annoying?

Just because he didn't dare to offend Zhao Chuanxin didn't mean that he was afraid of Zhang Renjun, so he couldn't help but glare at him.

The smile on Zhang Renjun's face did not diminish, but he sneered in his heart: You don't need to glare at me, today's affairs are far from over. I just want to take advantage of Zhao Chuanxin's momentum to talk to you about the Jigong Mountain in Henan Province.

For the great powers, Zhang Renjun is definitely a thorn in the side.

It's just that his methods are much gentler than Zhao Chuanxin's.

After signing the contract, photos will be taken as usual.

For example, when Li Hongzhang signed unequal treaties with various countries, he had to take two photos as a souvenir in shame.

Dabanov forced a smile and shook hands with Zhao Chuanxin.

He said: "Mr. Zhao, many of my compatriots live in this part of the land. They will pay taxes to you in the future. I hope you can cherish it and treat it well."

"Don't worry, although you may not have done well when you were managing, I will definitely do better than you after I take charge."

Dabanov nodded happily, and then his face froze: Why does this sound a bit awkward?

Jin Shihe, who was promoted by the Western Affairs Bureau, was snickering underneath - Zhao Chuanxin really lacked virtue.

The reporter set up the camera: "Everyone, stand on both sides of the negotiation table and take a group photo."

The Great Banov elected the British Consul General in Han Falaise to take the lead, but Falaise pulled him and said: "Today your French Concession is the protagonist, you and I stand here together."

When Li Hongzhang signed the unequal treaty, he was in the last position when the photo was taken.

Among the great powers, it seems to be a doormat.

Therefore, Yuan Datou did not want to humiliate himself and stood at the end consciously.

Zhao Chuanxin, however, asked: "Rang Rang, do you old guys have the quality and morals? Don't you see that a young man like me is being squeezed out?"

Everyone: "..."

Are you afraid that you are telling the opposite?

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin never took photos.

But when he saw these idiots, even if they lost the battle and paid compensation, they still wanted Qiao to take the lead, and he suddenly became very angry.

He squeezed through forcefully, pushed Dabanov with his left hand, and pushed Fareis with his right hand, and said angrily: "Get the hell out of the way, is this where you should stand? It doesn't matter who the king is, big or small. Bar?"

After saying that, he stood on the throne.

Fareis was furious: "Zhao Chuanxin, in China, elders are respected, let alone our empire, where the sun never sets, should be respected when comparing national strength!"

"Zhuo, are you arranging seats according to age again now?" Zhao Chuanxin blew a puff of cigarette on Faleisi's face: "I, Zhao Chuanxin, was born in the Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty, more than 700 AD. Young man, you are When were you born?"
