Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Urquidi Gomez suspected that the outsider was just scolding him.

"Urquidi, who is he scolding?"

In fact, everyone thinks so.

Just then, the shrill barking of a dog was heard.

Everyone was stunned.

Urquidi Gomez's face turned livid.

It turned out that the stranger was really scolding a dog.

He actually thought that a stranger was scolding him, ah...tui!

Urquidi Gomez no longer hesitated, raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

boom.

For some reason, the gunshot was particularly loud.

"what……"

The one who was screaming was not the stranger in the yard, but Urquidi Gómez.

Before the gun went off, the stranger suddenly squatted down, waved his arms as if to hit the dog, and coincidentally avoided the bullet.

But Urquidi Gomez didn't understand why he was the one injured...

He looked down and saw blood gushing out of his thigh. A bullet had penetrated his thigh, leaving a bloody hole.

His mind went blank: What happened?

His subordinates also looked around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Whose gun went off accidentally?" Urquidi Gomez asked in a low voice with a grim look on his face.

No one admits it.

"You'd better tell me now, or you'll be in trouble."

Still no one spoke.

Urquidi Gomez couldn't bear the pain, but he still endured the pain and looked up at the yard. He found that the stranger was looking around in panic, but in the end he didn't find Urquidi Gomez and others who were hiding there.

Urquidi Gomez cursed: "Help me up, I can still shoot."

The subordinate hurriedly said, "Let me do it."

Urquidi Gomez thought about it and handed him the Mauser M1902.

The man loaded the gun and took aim.

Before he pulled the trigger, he heard the stranger in the yard say, "It's all your fault, you bastard. I don't know who fired the gun and scared me. I hope the shooter shot me, damn it!"

After saying that, he squatted down and beat the dog again.

boom!

Coincidentally, gunshots rang out again at this moment.

The shooter: “Ah…”

His thigh was also pierced and bleeding profusely.

At this point, everyone was stunned.

Why is it that whenever we open fire, it’s always our own people who get hurt?

The stranger was unharmed.

This unscientific!

Urquidi Gomez couldn't hold back any longer: "Who was it? Whose gun went off accidentally?"

His men raised their hands to show their innocence.

Looking at the yard again, the stranger straightened up again and looked around with horror on his face.

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

"withdraw!"

If I don't go back and bandage it, I might bleed to death.

Outsiders will be dealt with later.

The men hurriedly carried the two wounded men back.

When they left, a black shadow lying on the ground in the reed bushes moved its eight legs and ran quickly towards the yard.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled out the magazine that was sticking up from the back of the Black Widow puppet, reloaded it with two bullets, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

He looked down at the innocent Chihuahua and said, "You bastard, you still want to shoot me. Do you really think you can do anything with just a few antiques?"

"Woo woo..." The Chihuahua responded with its big eyes and wagging its tail rapidly, not looking like it was being beaten at all.

Oscar-level acting is extraordinary after all.

Zhao Chuanxin built a doghouse for it in the yard.

Seeing that it was still shivering from the cold, he made five holes in one of his cotton socks and put it on the animal.

Zhao Chuanxin took two steps back and looked at him. It turned out to be much better. Haha.

Puppet slaves and black puppet craftsmen were making clothes and boots in the room.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the underground fortress and placed a batch of military rations transported from Lubin Prefecture inside.

……

January 1909, 1, New Year’s Eve.

Both Lubin Prefecture and the capital city were decorated with lights and colors.

The usually deserted Forbidden City is also filled with joy today.

In the last year of Cixi's life, she was still thinking, "If you help me up, I can still be in power." Therefore, she did not give Empress Longyu much power, but instead let Zaifeng gradually gain power.

But in the end, Cixi had to accept the fact that she was dying, and hurriedly let Longyu rule the country from behind the scenes.

But it's too late.

Cixi and Guangxu died in a hurry, and the ministers and Aisin-Gioro Zaifeng did not follow Cixi's last edict before her death and directly sidelined Longyu.

Aisin-Gioro Zaifeng knew very well that his widowed sister-in-law was far inferior to Cixi, so he directly recruited the Imperial Guards for his own use. Any decree issued by Longyu had to be accompanied by the words "the Regent's decree" to take effect.

Today is New Year's Eve, but the young nobles are all in the Forbidden City.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng asked Zaitao: "Recently, there were gunshots in the north, and it was not lonely. But I heard that Zhao Chuanxin went overseas. Has there been any unusual movement since he came back?"

Aixinjuelu Zaitao shook his head: "My people brought back news that Lubin Prefecture was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and people were talking about Zhao Chuanxin. He has not made any unusual moves."

"Zhao Chuanxin is a narrow-minded person. If he raises an army and starts a war, what do you think the court should do?"

Aixinjuelu Zaitao put down the teacup, pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that there were Russians and Japanese among the bandits who attacked Lubin Prefecture. Japan is no longer in Lubin Prefecture, and Zhao Chuanxin can do nothing. Only the Russians are right in front of us. Zhao Chuanxin can just sit back and watch while they attack the Russians. The bad thing is that there are rumors that the bandits went west and entered the grassland. If Zhao Chuanxin rashly invades the grassland, the court will be in trouble. It is not right to intervene, and it is not right to ignore it."

Aixinjuelu Zaifeng frowned and snorted: "Of course I have to care about it. Don't forget that he is still an official appointed by the court."

"It's not impossible. But what if Zhao Chuanxin doesn't listen?"

If Zhao Chuanxin disobeyed the court's orders, not only would it set a bad example and lower the court's prestige, it might even lead to a falling out with Zhao Chuanxin.

Aisin-Gioro Zaifeng was already wary of Zhao Chuanxin, who was able to escape unscathed after causing a big disturbance in Berlin, Germany. This made him even more afraid of Zhao Ruhu.

Zaifeng asked Zaitao: "You have been training soldiers for a long time. If you had a conflict with Zhao Chuanxin, how confident are you that you can repel the enemy?"

Zaitao shook his head: "I only know how to train soldiers, not how to fight."

"..."

Just one sentence left Aisin-Gioro Zaifeng speechless.

"Lets see."

……

Yuan Weiting, who was sent back to his hometown, was also inquiring about the news of Lubin Prefecture at this time.

"How is Zhao Chuanxin? Did he take revenge?"

"Never."

"What is he waiting for? This man never waits for revenge."

"I guess we have to wait until after the New Year."

Yuan Weiting didn't know what he was expecting, his eyes flickered with ambition: "Zhao Chuanxin has returned, what are the Russians doing?"

"The Russians are on high alert at the border, deploying their troops and making arrangements, and the situation is very tense."

……

Zhao Chuanxin hung a peach charm on his door, which was a pair of grinning Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde.
