The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

When it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, the butterfly has a huge belly with a metal tube in the middle.

The proportions of the wings and belly are extremely discordant.

The butterfly floated without flapping its wings.

At this time, Zhao Lingjun stretched out his chubby hand, trying to touch the butterfly from behind.

The butterfly should not be able to see Zhao Lingjun, but it sensed Zhao Lingjun and flew away without flapping its wings.

Zhao Chuanxin watched intently, his brows furrowed.

It always feels weird.

What follows is even weirder.

The butterfly suddenly flapped its wings as if struggling.

The reason why it looks like a struggle is because it flaps its wings in vain and its body is out of control.

At this time, Butterfly's belly suddenly opened.

A blurry, seemingly transparent and opaque object emerged.

The butterfly landed on the table, the metal pipe fell off, and the butterfly's body became three sections. It was very miserable and it couldn't die anymore.

A group of translucent material is still floating in the air.

Zhao Lingjun was so bold that he wanted to reach out and touch it again.

Translucent substances can be avoided flexibly.

Zhao Chuanxin had an illusion. He felt that the translucent material seemed to be thinking, thinking about who he was and whether there was any threat from the carbon-based creatures in front of him.

It may also be that Zhao Chuanxin is overthinking.

Benjamin said: "What a pity."

Unfortunately, the translucent creature quickly shrank, shriveled, and fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of liquid.

Benjamin scratched his head: "Master, I'm not sure, is this considered a success?"

Zhao Chuanxin listened to Xingyue's words and did not answer. He just told his eldest disciple: "Give me the nutrient solution you prepared, and give me a pupa for experiment. You go out for a while, and I will do it myself."

Benjamin Goldberg said proudly: "Master, I'm afraid you are not good at it. Biological experiments are very difficult. A single move can affect the whole body..."

Everyone used to think he was clumsy, but now standing in front of you, how do I look like before?

Zhao Chuanxin ignored his arrogance at all: "Get out."

"All right."

Zhao Chuanxin released the puppet slaves and black puppet craftsmen, took out various materials and tools, and cooperated with Xingyue to build a device.

Zhao Chuanxin finally asked Xingyue: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course." Xingyue said: "As long as the fusion is successful and I merge with the dead body, I will no longer be limited by the energy drawn from the blue crystal, and I can expand my perception. Do you know what that means?"

"Meaning that you are unrestricted and expand your perceptions?"

"..."

Xingyue didn't want to talk to him and concentrated on doing things.

It created a device that could be worn on Zhao Chuanxin's wrist and extended to the back of Zhao Chuanxin's hand.

It then asked Zhao Chuanxuan to build several nutrient solution tubes made of rubber and fused quartz glass.

Based on Benjamin's experimental process, it cut open the pupa and built a metal pipe. The small holes in the pipe were connected to a device for installing nutrient solution pipes.

The most amazing thing about butterfly chrysalis is that its body does not reject foreign objects, unlike mammals.

At this time, Xingyue spoke: "When I take your accessory limbs into the pupa, you will fall into a deep sleep. Whenever the nutrient solution is pushed to the bottom, I will remind you through vibration. You must remember to help change the nutrient solution bottle. Take care or you might lose me."

When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he was a little dumbfounded: "Why didn't you say earlier that you would fall into a deep sleep? Otherwise, let's forget it. We won't be integrated. You are already very strong now."

Xingyue said somewhat willfully: "I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid of bringing a psychological burden to you. We must merge, otherwise you will lose me now."

"Zhuo, how long are you going to sleep?"

"It can be integrated within a few months at the earliest."

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to speak again, but suddenly the device activated and the opening closed.

"Xingyue?"

Zhao Chuanxin asked tentatively.

No response.

It cuts it off first and has already penetrated.

As for why it was worn on Zhao Chuanxin's wrist, it was because the auxiliary limb was connected to his left hand.

Suddenly Zhao Chuanxin felt disappointed.

No one was whispering in his ears.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed open the laboratory door, and Benjamin Goldberg looked inside.

Then he saw the strange device on the wrist and back of Zhao Chuanxin's left hand, and wondered: "Master, what is this?"

"This is the ambition of life intelligence."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his eldest apprentice seriously: "Are you very good at biological science?"

Zhao Lingjun, who was tearing the mutton leg meat and eating it, responded: "Dad, I am also very good at it. I am also proficient in telegraph machines. Second senior brother can help me..."

Yao Bing immediately covered her mouth.

Zhao Chuanxin was not in the mood to talk to them, so he took out the living stone organs, several kinds of worm silk, stinking fluid, and the blue crystal conversion device and handed them to Benjamin: "You can take them and study them."

For the next period of time, Zhao Chuanxin's left hand was not convenient, so he was very quiet.

…

On April 18, Bai Lang's army entered the northwest.

He successively conquered Qianxian, Yongshou, Fengxiang and other places.

Yuan Weiting couldn't bear it anymore.

He mobilized four French biplanes from the Nanyuan Aviation School to detect the Bailang Army in the Shaanxi-Xi area and conduct pursuit and interception.

Benjamin Goldberg received news of the movements on both sides and hurriedly mobilized a batch of guns and ammunition from his factory to the north.

No one knew what he was planning.

In Vietnam, there is a small fishing village 110 kilometers southeast of Saigon.

The fishing village is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a tropical climate that is warm and pleasant all year round. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a good place to escape the summer heat.

Ever since it was colonized by France, French governors from all walks of life have built villas here to escape the heat during the hottest times.

There is a mountain nearby, called Stone Mountain because of its granite.

There is a lighthouse on the stone mountain, which was built by France in 1910. Standing here, you can enjoy the scenery of the fishing village's Mulberry Beach, Moon-Watching Beach, and Pineapple Beach in 360 degrees.

The workers of Xuantian Sect and the engineers of Juanwang Technical College came here to build a signal tower.

The signal tower was built next to the lighthouse.

At first, the relevant person in charge contacted the authorities with the help of overseas Chinese in Vietnam. After giving some money, the other party agreed to build a tower here.

However, as the temperature rose, Albert Sarrao, the Governor-General of French Indochina, came to the fishing village to escape the summer heat.

When he saw the busy construction site and asked about the situation, he was displeased.

Albert Sarrao said: "You actually allowed foreigners to build a radio tower here. If the enemy attacks, you are equivalent to aiding the enemy in disguise, understand?"

He not only stopped the project, but also sent police to arrest the workers and engineers.

Upon hearing the news, Li Guangzong called Albert Sarrao and explained the reason, saying that the radio tower was only for the convenience of communication with Australia, not for war or evil purposes.

Xuantian Sect can pay for the land.

Albert Salo refused to listen, and refused to allow it, nor would he release the people.

Li Guangzong proposed that they should rent the land instead of buying it, and it would be fine to rent the land for decades.

Albert Salo thought: It's a joke, buying and renting land? That is the right of colonists, why do you Xuantian Sect have this right?

No matter how much he tried, it just wouldn't work.

Li Guangzong was also angry.

Britain and France signed the Anglo-French Agreement in 1904 to form an alliance.

Because of the rise of Germany, out of concern for Germany's expansionist ambitions, Britain signed an agreement with Tsarist Russia in 1907.

The Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia was formally formed.

Australia originally belonged to Britain, but Zhao Chuanxin cut two pieces of meat from Australia under the banner of protecting the ecological environment.

Now, in order to rule the territories snatched from Britain, a radio tower is to be built. Albert Salo will not agree to it for both public and private reasons.

It's okay if he doesn't agree, Li Guangzong can also go to Luzon to build the tower.

But if you hold someone hostage, you will inevitably go too far.

Three gunboats have been built on the Australian island, and Li Ziyu sent gunboats to demonstrate.

The French Avalanche gunboat actually fired into the sea to counter-protest.

If this continues, there is a high probability of a fight.

Li Guangzong first transferred the three gunboats back and reported the matter to Zhao Chuanxin.

On April 26, Zhao Chuanxin played with Zhao Songzhen at home in Hong Kong Island.

He received a call from Li Guangzong.

"How many gunboats do they have?"

Li Guangzong did not need to look up the information, and answered immediately: "6 gunboats, less than when they captured Da Nang in 1858. At that time, they sent 14 gunboats."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the device on his left wrist and said: "You give Albert Salo an ultimatum. If you don't release people before the 27th, you will bear the consequences."

Li Guangzong was a little surprised.

In normal times, Zhao Chuanxin would never issue an ultimatum or talk nonsense, so what happened this time?

Xingyue had accompanied Zhao Chuanxin for many years, and Zhao Chuanxin was not used to it when it suddenly disappeared.

Without Xingyue, even if the fourth-generation dragon was driving on the sea, he did not dare to accelerate at full speed.

At supersonic speed, a dolphin suddenly jumped out of the sea. If it hit, the car might be destroyed and people might die.

Li Guangzong said: "Okay, I'll tell them right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chuanxin's wrist shook.

He hurriedly took out the nutrient solution and replaced the empty bottle in the device on his wrist.

At this time, Zhao Songzhen was fiddling with her tea set for playing house, and accidentally knocked it over. The water inside escaped and soaked Zhao Chuanxin's drawing.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his fingers, and the water vapor evaporated, but the edge of the drawing was still curled.

Zhao Songzhen looked at him timidly, and Zhao Chuanxin touched her little head: "Why are you so timid? Dad won't scold you."

Zhao Chuanxin was particularly fond of this little girl.

If it was Zhao Lingjun, she wouldn't be scared at all, and might even grumble a few words to annoy her father.

The grass and trees in the north are still withered and yellow, while the grass in the south is already lush and the birds are flying.

Zhao Songzhen had enough fun and looked up and said, "Dad, can you take me out for a walk?"

Old Zhao immediately packed up the drawings, stood up and put on his shoes: "Let's go."

Zhao Songzhen laughed so hard that her two pigtails were swinging almost flying. When she tried to put on her small cloth shoes, she fell down and laughed first.

Although the times are tense, people who work for the country and the people must leave a gap for spiritual life.

...

Zhao Lingjun enrolled in school.

She didn't tell Wilhelmina and enrolled in Lubinfu Primary School, and successfully passed the exam to complete the triple jump.

The small kitchen in Noordeinburg was not available for Zhao Lingjun's table. The vast grassland and the vast desert were her stage to express her feelings.

It was clearly time for class, but Zhao Lingjun saw the popcorn machine halfway and couldn't move his legs: "Old man, how much do you sell it?"

The old man was unhappy: "I'm only 37, who cares if I call you old man?"

Zhao Lingjun's eyes widened: "You've grown so fast at 37? Is your face full of wrinkles because your wife ran away with someone else?"

"You..."

At this time, Yao Bing rode up on horseback: "Junior sister, what are you doing? Come to school with me, I'm going to be late."

Many children who study in Lubinfu School ride horses, and the youngest is only 8 years old. There is no end to the sea of ​​learning, and horses are the boats.

Parents are open-minded, no matter what the accident is. In this day and age, if you are not lucky enough, you will die even if you hide at home.

The people of Lubinfu live a prosperous life. They either have land or grassland. If they don't have it, they can go to work or do business.

So the children are particularly healthy.

In addition, the grassland people are rough and careless, and treat their children like cattle and sheep, mainly grazing.

As a result, it is inevitable that human traffickers will go north and set their sights on this place.

Zhao Lingjun saw that he had to bring his own corn and rice to make popcorn, and thought it was a pity, so he jumped on the horse, hugged Yao Bing's waist and went to school.

Halfway through the journey, Zhao Lingjun suddenly said, "Brother, stop."

Yao Bing stopped his horse, and Zhao Lingjun landed gracefully.

She saw a first-grade boy talking to an adult man with wrinkles on his face and a bit wretched.

The man took the cheese and handed it to the child: "Do you want to eat it?"

The child shook his head: "Who cares? I eat it every day and I'm tired of it."

The man was stunned and cursed himself for being stupid. How could there be a shortage of dairy products on the grassland?

He took out a peanut crisp from his arms: "Then do you want to eat this?"

The child picked his nose and said, "Your hands are dirty, I won't eat it."

The man: You are even dirtier, you are still picking your nose.

The man took out a handkerchief and wrapped the peanut crisps: "Now it's not dirty."

The child wiped his fingers on the tree trunk beside the road: "Who knows if you have used this handkerchief to wipe your nose?"

Man: Why are the children in Lubin Prefecture like this?

He asked in confusion: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Candy beans, Cuban sugar, hawthorn slices, white sugar bayberry, big popsicles, do you have any?"

"I..." The man was speechless, he had never heard of many of these things.

It is true that the children in Lubin Prefecture live a good life.

At this time, Yao Bing also got off the horse and poked Zhao Lingjun: "Junior sister, what's so good about it? Let's go. It will be too late if we don't go now. The teacher will beat people."

"No problem." Zhao Lingjun continued to watch: "I can let the teacher do three moves before I attack."

Yao Bing: "..."

The wretched man boasted to the child: "Well, you come with me. My house has everything except big popsicles."

The child asked stupidly: "Really?"

"Come with me."

The child followed him.

At this moment, Yao Bing also saw that something was wrong: "Junior sister, I will follow them, and you ride a horse to find the patrolman."

He instinctively wanted to protect the little junior sister from standing under the dangerous wall.

Zhao Lingjun reached into his arms and revealed a pistol: "You need to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Today, I, Zhao Lingjun, will try my butcher knife."

Yao Bing was startled: "Isn't this the gun in Uncle Yao's office?"

The gun has a gold-carved pattern on the gun body, and gods and Buddhas are inlaid with gold and silver, with the words "supernatural".

"Hey, I saw it when I went to his place to play, borrow it for two days."

"It's okay for you to borrow it, but did he agree?"

"I left a note, don't worry, senior brother."

Yao Bing was very worried: "Junior sister, tell the truth, what did you write on your note?"

"I wrote - Yao Bing borrowed the gun for a while."

"I, I, I..."

"Senior brother, how did you turn into a big goose, and still cackling?"

The two followed with laughter all the way.

The wretched man brought the child into a small courtyard. The man looked out furtively, closed the door, and bolted it from the inside.

This was not difficult for Zhao Lingjun and Yao Bing.

The senior brother and sister took a run, opened the reaction shoulder straps, and floated up the wall.

When they came to the base of the house, the two eavesdropped.

The child asked, "Where is the delicious food?"

"Eat this first, and I'll get you something else after you finish eating."

Yao Bing whispered to Zhao Lingjun, "It should be a drug that knocks you out. It's a must-have for beggars."

Zhao Lingjun took out the Chaodu again, took out the magazine and looked at it. There were only two bullets in it.

She emptied the remaining bullets somewhere.

Yao Bing held Zhao Lingjun down and said, "You can't let the child eat it. Master said that the drug for beggars will leave the root of the disease for the child."

After saying that, he went over to pull the door and rushed in.

Zhao Lingjun hurriedly put the magazine back and put the gun in his pocket.

Before she followed him in, she heard the sound of fierce fighting in the room.

She was worried that her senior brother would suffer, so she hurried into the room.

After entering the room, she saw two men lying on the ground and a row of children lying on the kang, some boys and some girls, not very old, a full six.

Yao Bing's right eye was bruised and his left face was a little swollen, but the two men were knocked unconscious.

Wrestling is never about height, and Yao Bing is not short.

"Great, senior brother."

Unlike the usual wrestling practice, this is a real fight.

The first-grade child looked at him stupidly and sniffed: "Why did you hit him?"

Zhao Lingjun slapped him on the back of the head: "You are really fierce!"

At this moment, there was a sound of the door of the west room in the courtyard being opened.

A middle-aged woman with a big mole next to her nasolabial folds walked in.

She must have heard the sound of fighting.

Zhao Lingjun shouted: "Let me do it!"

He ran over, raised his leg, and kicked the crotch in one go.

The woman didn't react and was hit by the moon-catching kick.

"Ah..."

Even if there was no risk of breaking, the pain was no different from that of a man.

Zhao Lingjun picked up the furnace poker standing in the corner, and while the woman was holding her crotch and bending over, he swung it and hit her cheek.

Bang.

Solid.

The woman rolled her eyes and fainted.

The first-grade child who came out to watch the fun stuffed his hands into his mouth and widened his eyes: "Ah, this... is so cruel."

Zhao Lingjun held the ring of the furnace poker with both hands and wanted to throw it at the woman's back.

Yao Bing hurried forward to stop him: "Junior sister, no, our Lubin Prefecture has its own laws."

He thought to himself that the junior sister is really reckless!

The woman's life might be over if the furnace poker was thrown.

Zhao Lingjun then put down the poker in a huff.

Yao Bing called Yao Jia.

Not long after, Hu Er personally led 20 patrolmen to the scene, and five police cars were parked outside the yard.

A group of patrolmen entered the house and looked at the two men and one woman who had fainted, and the row of children on the kang, and they were all stunned.

"Did you two do it?"

Zhao Lingjun put one foot on a small stool, leaned on the poker with one hand, and puffed out his chest and belly: "It is the duty of every man to eliminate harm for the people, and it is what we should do."

Everyone gave a thumbs up: "A daughter of a general!"

...

Zhao Chuanxin sorted out his guns and ammunition, and put on his tactical uniform neatly.

Zhao Songzhen asked curiously: "Dad, you are dressed so beautifully, where are you going?"

"Dad is going to walk on the gunboat and pose in the prison."

"Dad, prison is not good, prison is for bad guys."

"Prison is not good, not because it is for bad guys, but because it sometimes holds innocent people."

Old Zhao can always cure the problem of sticky teeth in children.

After packing up, Zhao Chuanxin set off and rushed to Vietnam.

It was dark, and he took off on the fourth generation of Youlong.

The starlight does not ask the traveler.

Zhao Chuanxin was not fast, and he used the compass to calibrate while walking, just like people in later generations who could not move without navigation.

It took two hours to reach Qilianyu of Xuande Islands.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little angry, so he landed directly, rested on the spot, and prepared to set off again the next day.

Just because he was tired from traveling at night and rested halfway, in Saigon, Vietnam, Albert Sarro said to his subordinates in the office with a glass of wine: "See, what can Zhao Chuanxin do? I won't let him build the tower! If he builds the tower illegally, I will detain his people."

The subordinates boasted: "You are mighty, Governor. You are probably the only person in the world who can make Zhao Chuanxin helpless. With this, the Governor will be remembered in history."

Albert Sarro took a sip of red wine and was very proud.

This kind of thing can be boasted for several years.

He took another sip, the alcohol was rising, and he said proudly: "Ultimatum? Now the deadline has passed, I think Zhao Chuanxin is just like this."

Everyone laughed.

His confidence was mysterious, but he relied on the fact that Vietnam was a French colony, and Zhao Chuanxin built the tower in their colony.

So they had the right to stop it.

That's all.

Albert Sarro was nervous at first, then proud, and got drunk without paying attention. He didn't get up until noon the next day.

He was woken up by someone.

"Oh no, Governor, the Avalanche gunboat in Da Nang has sunk!"
