Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

The boy looked sad: "Don't embarrass me, you are the shopkeeper Zhao, right?"

"Let me ask you, what did Qi Feiqing say?"

"Have."

"If you dare to say something wrong this time, I will beat you to death."

The boy hurriedly said: "That's not possible. The Qi Sheng Yuan only said one sentence - To the east of the city, there is a school for girls."

Zhao Chuanxin took out a few copper coins and sat down pretending: "Here's a bowl of tea. Here's the tea money. I'll give you another dime as a tip."

A tip is a bonus.

The waiter then showed a sincere smile, happily took the money, and shouted loudly: "The tea will be here soon."

When he brought the tea, a gust of wind blew by, and a layer of dust floated on the tea bowl.

Zhao Chuanxin said directly: "What kind of stuff are you talking about?"

Then he took out his own water bottle and took two sips, wiped his mouth and stood up: "Never come again."

Boy: "..."

How can you pretend if you don’t drink?

Can soil be drunk?

Many people believe that taking a handful of soil from their hometown and drinking it in a foreign country will cure acclimatization.

But Zhao Chuanxin will definitely not drink it.

When there are many people, Zhao Chuanxin usually doesn't step on the Misty Traveler and always relies on his two legs to measure.

Because of what happened last time, he did not wear the robe again. A pair of ripped jeans, sand boots with mottled leather surfaces, a vertical striped collarless shirt, a tortoiseshell framed round mirror, a Panama hat...

It’s not unique. After all, this outfit doesn’t look glamorous. Every single item looks like it’s been worn for a long time, and nothing can even be “patched”.

Liangzhou is connected to the Western Regions, and people of all kinds come and go, so no one can see his true identity.

Zhao Chuanxin hummed a song all the way and walked eastward.

Not far from the school for girls, a little mouse was catching lice under an apricot tree, looking at the school from time to time.

He used to stick to the wall, but later he found out that He Huizhen didn't give him a good look, so he consciously stayed away.

I was bored when I suddenly heard a song coming: "White Dragon Horse, you are so awesome. You trampled Tang Sanzang to death and kicked three of his disciples to death. You have to rely on yourself to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West, and you can run tens of thousands of miles at a time..."

What is the story that appeals to people of all ages and all over the world? It has to be "Journey to the West".

The little mouse was stunned.

The tune of the song is catchy, but is it really Bai Longma who took the scriptures from the West?

We still suffer from the lack of culture.

Besides, this voice is somewhat familiar.

He turned his head, stopped singing, and didn't look at anyone.

The little mouse scratched his head and said to himself: "It sounds like Shopkeeper Zhao."

Not long after, after school, a group of girls ran out.

Qi Zhenhai emerged from nowhere and rushed forward.

The little mouse followed suit.

When He Huizhen saw Qi Zhenhai, she smiled, a little shy, a little encouraging, but also polite at a distance.

Qi Zhenhai's heart felt hot: "Miss He."

Not to be outdone, the little mouse said: "Miss He."

He Huizhen glanced at him lightly.

This little beggar is really annoying. The toad wants to eat the swan meat.

The little mouse looked at Qi Zhenhai, who was still well-dressed, and then at his own ragged clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he was so proud of himself that he showed an indifferent look.

He remembered the song just now, so he sang: "White Dragon Horse, so awesome. Trampled Tang Sanzang to death..."

He Huizhen and Qi Zhenhai: "..."

He Huizhen said in disgust: "Ignorant of learning and skills..."

Qi Zhenhai sneered: "Little beggar, you follow me every day, don't you think you are annoying?"

He ignored him and just followed.

He Huizhen deliberately talked and laughed with Qi Zhenhai.

The little mouse was angry and stopped after following for a while.

When they were far away, they gnashed their teeth, bared their claws and made gestures in the air.

Suddenly I heard someone behind me say, "I'm Zhuo. I've grown so big. This is the first time I've seen someone so ferocious and competes with the air. I admire him."

Little Mouse: "..."

He turned his head in surprise: "Shopkeeper Zhao? Why are you here?"

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin in so many days was the happiest thing that made Little Mouse happy.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the blurred backs of the two people and asked with a smile: "Little mouse, if you want to chase a girl, you have to establish an ambiguity between you, do you understand?"

Little Mouse knew that Shopkeeper Zhao had extraordinary abilities, and his eyes lit up: "Shopkeeper Zhao, is there any ambiguity between me and her?"

"No." Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "There is only presumptuousness between you."

Little Mouse: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his chin: "Let's go, don't be discouraged, let's follow."

The two of them headed in the direction of He Huizhen and Qi Zhenhai.

But he saw a little girl with a round face and a hint of plateau red, carrying a small basket woven with bamboo strips, following him from a distance.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the little girl: "Whose family do you belong to?"

The little girl ignored him and stayed away.

The little mouse said: "She is a girl from the Qi family. She has to follow her from a distance every day after school. She waits for Qi Zhenhai to send the girl home before taking her home. Qi Zhenhai won't let her get close to get in the way."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Little girl, your father should be Qi Feiqing, right?"

The little girl rolled her eyes: "I won't tell you."

"You are so rude, wait until I complain to your father and let him beat you with wattle sticks."

The little girl was furious: "You..."

The little mouse watched blankly as Zhao Chuanxin competed with a little girl.

Qi Zhenhai sent He Huizhen to the door of his house and turned to leave because He Huizhen didn't invite him in at all.

The little mouse sneered. He was about to say something, but when he turned his head, he saw no one around him.

Where is shopkeeper Zhao?

Wait for Qi Zhenhai to pick up the girl.

The little mouse sighed.

Naturally, Qi Zhenhai couldn't enter He Huizhen's boudoir, and the little mouse couldn't even get close to the yard.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Zhao Chuanxin's voice sounded beside him again: "This is the Miss He you have been dreaming about, right?"

The little mouse shuddered.

Shopkeeper Zhao is really elusive.

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhang Fulin from Liangzhou's arresting office came in a hurry, knocked on the door and reported his identity. He Huizhen opened the door. Zhang Fulin turned around and looked around, then happily hugged He Huizhen and entered.

The little mouse hiding behind the tree was so excited that his eyes were about to burst.

Zhao Chuanxin clicked his tongue in surprise.

The little mouse said warily: "Shopkeeper Zhao, do you also like Miss He?"

Old Zhao, the bitch appraiser, sneered: "As the old saying goes, don't persuade a person who insists on eating shit, otherwise, he will think that others are trying to eat shit with him."

The little mouse was annoyed: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are swearing."

"You are so smart, you can even hear it."

Zhang Fulin didn't stay long before leaving with unsatisfied feelings.

The little mouse said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm going home."

"No need to worry, let's play for a while."

"..."

The little mouse was patient.

Not long after, a short man knocked on the door furtively.

He Huizhen opened the door, and the man with the roe-headed and mouse-like eyes showed a lewd smile and followed He Huizhen in.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "You wait here, I will come back as soon as I can."

As he spoke, the figure flashed.

The little mouse looked around, and shopkeeper Zhao disappeared out of thin air.

Looking towards He Huizhen's courtyard, he saw that Zhao Chuanxin was already leaning against the earth wall, eavesdropping from the window.

Gansu produces glass, but not every household can afford it.

The residence where foreigners teach must have glass windows, and He Huizhen's home also has glass.

This made it easier for Zhao Chuanxin to eavesdrop.

"How did things go?"

He Huizhen said: "I found out that Mahanda was captured and tortured by Yu Dutong that day, and he was covered with bruises. He is still recovering in Liangzhou. Because the court ordered him to pay compensation and apologize for his release, the county magistrate Mei Shunan was frightened and came to his door many times with gifts. Hearing about Mahanda's night Awakened by a nightmare at night, Mei Shunan is looking for a Taoist monk to drive away evil spirits. For the current plan, it is better to pretend to be a Taoist monk and assassinate him, and then blame Liangzhou..."

It turns out that the spy of Tsarist Russia, Mahanda, was framed by Zhao Chuanxin and was tortured after being captured by Yu Dutong. After he was released, he recuperated in Liangzhou.

Perhaps due to mental stimulation, Mahanda began to have nightmares.

After the Japanese learned about it, they wanted to assassinate Mahanda, frame the blame on the Qing court, and drive a wedge between the Qing court and Tsarist Russia.

Due to conflicts of interest outside the customs, Japan and Russia have been causing trouble on Chinese soil for a long time, which is not surprising.

At this time, the Chinese people hated Tsarist Russia even more than the Japanese. During the Russo-Japanese War, many people supported Japan in beating Tsarist Russia.

The wretched Japanese suddenly grabbed He Huizhen's hand, and He Huizhen immediately withdrew it and warned: "Matsuzaki Hoichi, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? I am a guest of the KLQQ Palace!"

Matsuzaki Hoichi sneered: "KLQQ is far away."

"Haha." He Huizhen also sneered: "Even in Liangzhou, it's easy for me to kill anyone! You and I do our part, and don't have any wishful thinking about the rest."

Matsuzaki Hoichi was indeed a little afraid and did not dare to push the envelope further.

But his words were unforgiving: "Those men think you are a chaste and martyr woman, but what kind of virtues do you have, I don't know? We'll see."

"Hmph! Mind your own business."

As soon as Matsuzaki went out, he looked around and found nothing unusual, so he straightened his clothes and left.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the little mouse again: "I'll give you a task."

The little mouse said blankly: "What?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out two small foreign coins and stuffed them into his hand: "Did you see that person who just left? From now on, you come here to stare at him every day, and then follow him secretly to see where he goes and who he comes into contact with. This is Your reward for your work.”

The little mouse was delighted.

What he lacks most is money.

But he thought of something again and said reluctantly: "But it concerns Miss He, I..."

"Zhuo, are you a real fool or a fake fool? Have you ever heard of getting rich and handsome? Zhao will help you get it sooner or later, and you can ravage it as you please."
