Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

What is this word?

He smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, I am going to Hailar to take up my post this time. Have you heard of the Negotiation Bureau?"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes flashed: "I've heard a little bit about it."

Zhang Shoufeng lowered his voice mysteriously: "Negotiation Bureau with Russia."

"Have heard a little bit."

"You know, the imperial court has established a new Lubin Mansion next to Manzhouli Station. I will be the general office of the Lubin Mansion's Bureau of Negotiation with Russia, and will also be responsible for border demarcation."

"Have heard a little bit."

"..." Zhang Shouzeng was speechless: "Why do you hear everything? Is there anything you haven't heard?"

These are not secrets, because the relevant official seals and paperwork have been issued, it is a certainty, and there is no doubt.

If it were somewhere else, someone else, the matter might have been made public long ago.

But this time, the Qing court said nothing about it to the outside world, and only local officials knew about it.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "What I have never heard is, who is bigger, Brother Heyan or the prefect? ​​What is the relationship between Brother Heyan and the new prefect?"

Zhang Shouzeng was stunned: "This... naturally the prefect is big. Whether it matters or not depends on the new prefect."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and did not continue.

Now that he already knew, Zhang Shouzeng was the new head of the Russian Negotiation Bureau of Lubin Mansion, and that was the one sent by the Qing court to restrain him.

The two sides actually have a "hostile" relationship.

But Zhao Chuanxin discovered that Zhang Shouzeng was not a villain in nature and was very talkative.

He just has a big mouth.

People who are eloquent can't help but talk. This is normal.

Zhao Chuanxin avoided talking about the Lubin Mansion, and instead asked about Zhang Shouzeng's actions and achievements when he was serving in other places.

This person is quite knowledgeable in frontier affairs, internal affairs, diplomacy, and finance.

It's just that I'm too young now, my methods are immature, and I'm too idealistic in doing things.

This is a bad thing and a good thing, that is, Zhang Shouzeng has not yet become an official, but he is still a material that can be made.

Zhao Chuanxin made many insinuations, but every time Zhang Shouzeng asked about his affairs, he would do Tai Chi to change the subject.

Until they left, Zhang Shouzeng didn't understand the details of Zhao Chuanxin.

The ride was long and boring.

Zhao Chuanxian almost lost his patience.

We walked straight for nearly fifty hours.

Because of his age, Yao Bing may have the least experience.

Because Zhao Chuanxin made toys for him in various ways, from wooden swords to metal figures with movable joints, and even a small car with bearings...

There is also paper and pen, so you can doodle as you like.

Zhao Chuanxin would also draw him some animals and plants that he could think of, and explain to him the origin and characteristics of these creatures, which was both educational and entertaining.

Sometimes, even Rebecca Levi is listening with interest.

"This is the emperor penguin. It lives in Antarctica. It stands taller than you guys and is heavier than you. They eat shrimps and crabs, as well as squid and small fish..."

Zhao Chuanxin's small classroom is not just attended by Yao Bing and Rebecca Levi.

There were two foreign children and four foreigners nearby, a bunch of heads gathered together, watching and listening intently.

Yao Bing immediately asked: "Master, can I beat them?"

"Well, they have a bad temper. You may not be able to defeat them now."

The little foreign girl asked in broken Chinese: "Sir, where is Antarctica?"

Zhao Chuanxin drew another circle on the paper and hastily distinguished the ocean from several continents.

He pointed to several places and said: "Look, we are here, and the South Pole is here. The earth rotates around a central axis, and the two levels of the axis are called the South Pole and the North Pole. Other places are very close to the sun, except These two places are far away from the sun, so it's very cold..."

The reason why Zhao Chuanxin's small class can attract so many people is that no matter what others ask, Zhao Chuanxin can draw and answer casually.

He draws very fast, answers casually, and picks things up at his fingertips, as if he really knows everything from astronomy to geography to humanities.

Another foreign boy asked: "Sir, what kind of fish is squid?"

Zhao Chuanxin took a new piece of paper and drew a squid casually: "This is a squid, a mollusk, soft and prone, and can spray ink."

Yao Bing immediately asked: "Master, is the squid delicious?"

"Bake it on an iron plate, sprinkle with salt, sugar, light soy sauce, sweet flour sauce, cumin..."

Yao Bing's elite laughter immediately appeared from the corner of his mouth.

Rebecca Levi couldn't help laughing and wiped him off with a handkerchief.

"Master, I want to eat!"

The foreign boy also said: "I want to eat too..."

Little foreign girl: "I want to eat too..."

People around laughed.

A foreigner couldn't help but said: "Sir, you are really knowledgeable. There is no question that can defeat you."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded seriously: "You are right. You can read a thousand words at the next age, compose poems at the age of three, write essays at the age of five, and be familiar with hundreds of schools of thought at the age of ten. The ancients described the talent as high as the eighth, the scholar as rich as the fifth, that is exactly To describe someone like me..."

"..." Foreigner: "I have little education, sir, please don't lie to me. I have never heard of such a genius..."

"It's rare to see a lot of strange things." Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "Not only are you talented and knowledgeable, I'm also proficient in martial arts. At the age of three, I heard the chicken dance. At the age of five, I was able to beat ten and a half-year-old children. At the age of ten, I was able to tear apart the Japanese with my own hands. At the age of twenty, I was invincible in the world. Hand. Now, my skill has reached the realm of refining, refining essence to turn qi, refining qi to turn spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao. I have reached the four realms of refining spirit to return to emptiness. Let me show you one hand and three points return You’ll understand Yuan Qi!”

After saying that, Zhao Chuanxin spread his palms, and a ball of water gushes out from the water cup on the table and condenses in his palms.

Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, let the water ball enter his mouth, and swallowed it "gudong"!

You can hear needle drops all around.

Yao Bing shouted: "Master, I want to learn!"

"You? You should refine your Qi honestly first. Now you know how powerful you are as a teacher, right?"

The foreigner knelt down and said, "Sir, can I learn?"

"You? You can't do it. You don't have the wisdom to know?"

The little foreign girl blinked and asked, "Sir, do I have wisdom?"

"You do have the wisdom root, but you don't have the spiritual root."

The foreign boy looked at Yao Bing and then at himself, a little unconvinced: "Sir, how do you know if you have spiritual roots?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "You stretch out your hands. Whenever I use my power, whoever can feel the burning in the palm will have spiritual roots."

The little boy was the first to reach out.

Zhao Chuanxin pretended to show off his strength, but the little boy didn't notice anything.

Disappointment spread all over his face.

The little girl volunteered: "I'll come, I'll come..."

Yet I felt nothing.

Yao Bing stretched out his hand, and Zhao Chuanxin secretly activated the Old God's crucible brand.

Yao Bing shrinks his hand: "Master, it's hot!"

"Very good, my disciple Yao Bing has the appearance of a martial saint..."

Yao Bing was overjoyed, pinched his waist and said, "I am the most powerful!"

People around: "..."

The foreign thief blinked and said, "That's not fair. What if he pretends that his hand is hot?"

Zhao Chuanxin was disdainful, took out a cigarette, snapped his fingers, and the cigarette butt turned scarlet and smoked.
