The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 359 Troubled Times

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and whispered: "The main reason is that it is too wide."

Edith Roosevelt turned darker.

Is my butt really that big?

She sulked, raised her legs, and prepared to kick Zhao Chuanxin hard so that he would remember it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin was already on guard, and clamped his legs together, pinching her legs.

Edith Roosevelt was startled and struggled twice, but failed.

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself that this woman was actually trying to kill off her children, so he kicked her on the butt.

You can't suffer any loss.

Edith Roosevelt's face immediately turned red.

What a shame!

At this moment, Benjamin Goldberg bent down, raised his head and said, "Master, you can change places with me, so that the three of you can interact more conveniently."

Children's words are unbridled.

Benjamin Goldberg's words made the three of them feel hot at the same time.

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "I am a scoundrel who has inherited my uprightness. Whether he can be educated in the future or not is anyone's guess."

He said and loosened his legs.

Wilhelmina looked at him and Edith Roosevelt suspiciously.

After dinner,

Zhao Chuanxin snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to pay the bill.

The waiter said weakly: "Sir, the boss said he would treat me to this meal."

Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "This is called cards. Tell your boss that he has gained my friendship."

But Zhao Chuanxian gave him a tip.

After going out, Edith Roosevelt suddenly said: "You guys, wait for me."

Zhao Chuanxin is incompetent.

As soon as she left, Wilhelmina came over happily: "Ahem, don't forget, my things are still with you, and you have to return them to me."

Zhao Chuanxin said seriously: "Yes, your things are temporarily stored in my belly."

Isn't it just throwing seeds? This works.

"What?" Wilhelmina was stunned: "I'm talking about portraits."

"ah?"

At this time, Edith Roosevelt came with two policemen.

Zhao Chuanxin was not worried about anything else, and the police did not dare to arrest him.

Edith Roosevelt said: "In view of the crisis of these days, I am prepared to ask these two gentlemen to keep a vigil at our door."

Wilhelmina was dumbfounded.

She was angry, this was obviously intentional.

Edith Roosevelt smiled the smile of a successful conspirator.

Both of them looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin covered his mouth with his hand, yawned loudly, and said calmly: "Oh, I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep quickly."

Wilhelmina was disappointed.

Back at the hotel, Edith Roosevelt went even further and moved Wilhelmina's room next to hers.

But the room occupied by Zhao Chuanxin and others was on the first floor.

Zhao Chuanxin still looked unconcerned.

Wilhelmina bit her lip, not knowing what to say, and went upstairs with Edith Roosevelt angrily, only looking back frequently.

Edith Roosevelt said: "Tonight you can rest easy."

Wilhelmina curled her lips and said in her heart: As long as Zhao Chuanxin is here, I can sit back and relax every night.

Without Zhao Chuanxin around, Edith Roosevelt would wantonly stimulate Wilhelmina.

Added another sentence: "There are two police officers guarding it, and no gangsters will break in. I have arranged for people to look for your guards to see if there are any survivors and collect their bones."

Without saying a word, Wilhelmina slammed the door shut.

She took off her coat, fell on the bed, spread it out in a "big" shape, and looked at the ceiling. Her mind was filled with Zhao Chuanxin, and she didn't even have time to grieve for the guards.

I originally thought that after leaving the wolf den, I would return to reality.

But she found that things were not that simple.

It's not easy to remember someone, and it's even harder to forget someone.

Now, she regarded Kurdex Town as the border line, and she didn't leave until she left here.

Just as she was thinking, she heard someone knocking lightly on the window.

Looking up, he was surprised to find that Zhao Chuanxin had somehow reached the window.

She hurried to open the window, and Zhao Chuanxin climbed in.

"Can't this stop you?"

"That little look in your eyes makes you think you have a needle eye. Can I not come?"

Wilhelmina hugged him.

Zhao Chuanxin coughed: "Your Majesty, please be more respectful. I am here mainly to teach you the secret of beauty."

"What? That's it?" Wilhelmina became naive.

"By the way, take a bath with Your Majesty."

The two laughed and got into the bathroom.

It's not like a wolf den here, it's dark.

With the lighting, Wilhelmina was able to clearly see the tattoos on Zhao Chuanxin's body and the tattoos that were damaged by scars.

She slid her fingers over the scar: "The tattoos are quite beautiful, but they are ruined. What do these tattoos mean?"

"I don't know what the tattoos of the Kanaka tribe in Hawaii mean. Hey, Your Majesty, where are you putting your hands?"

"The Queen feels that you are too dishonest and even wants to take advantage of middle-aged women. Now she is ready to deal with you."

It turns out he was jealous.

next door,

Edith Roosevelt felt incredible as she thought about today's events.

While he was deducing the situation in his mind, he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from across the wall.

The sound got louder and louder.

Her eyes widened.

Farke...

She put on her coat and opened the door. Two policemen were dozing outside.

The soundproofing of this door is really good.

Close the door gently.

Edith Roosevelt was stunned.

Can't you stop this?

She went to the window again and looked down. There was nothing to climb on.

The person next door was singing in a low voice, with ups and downs.

She was on the bed, tossing and turning uncomfortably.

I don’t know if it’s psychological, psychological, or psychological reasons…

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Edith Roosevelt knocked on the door next door.

Wilhelmina opened the door with sleepy eyes: "Mrs. Roosevelt, it's so early, is there anything wrong?"

"It's getting late, it's time to have breakfast." As he said that, Edith Roosevelt glanced inside. The room was in a mess, but there was no one else.

Although Wilhelmina was sleepy, her expression was excellent.

Edith Roosevelt also understood this mysterious brilliance.

"Okay, please wait for me for a moment."

After Wilhelmina was washed and dressed, she went downstairs with Edith Roosevelt.

At this time, outside the hotel.

Zhao Chuanxin was practicing his balancing skills, and onlookers were the hotel owner, the landlady, Marcus Nkrumah and Benjamin Goldberg.

From time to time, cheers erupted.

Edith Roosevelt: "..."

Are you so energetic?

He glanced at Wilhelmina from the corner of his eye and saw that her eyes were still drawn.

After Zhao Chuanxin finished practicing this section, he became energetic and energetic.

It’s fucking amazing.

He cupped his fists and said, "Haha, you're showing off your shame."

There are nine body balance techniques in total: health balance, qi and blood balance, metabolic balance, immune balance, strength balance, speed balance, beauty balance, comprehensive balance, and death balance.

Except for Comprehensive Balance and Nirvana Balance, the difficulty of the rest is equally high.

What Zhao Chuanxin was practicing just now was health and balance.

He has to practice the seven movements to the extreme and master them, and finally he can practice comprehensive balance.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he would never touch the final balance of annihilation in his life.

It's about death, so I have nothing to lose.

No one noticed that Zhao Chuanxin changed after he was sniped by the mad colonel Louis Verweide.

On the Shek O Peninsula of Hong Kong Island, the Xuantian Sect's headquarters has just been built.

In 1861, Queen Victoria of England cut the ribbon for the first railway, and the ribbon-cutting activity became popular.

As the Romans do, the Xuantian Sect headquarters on Hong Kong Island was completed and the ribbon was cut.

Li Guangzong wore a green shirt and long robe, simple but elegant.

The second place turned out to be Luad, the governor at this time.

Behind them are Zheng Guohua, Li Ziyu, Li Zhitao, Jin Yacheng, Dakuchang, and behind them are Hei Guren, as well as He Qi, Feng Huachuan, Liu Zhubo and other business leaders.

Li Guangzong and Lu Ya, together with everyone, lowered the scissors to the sound of gongs and drums.

"Congratulations to Deputy Head Li."

"Same joy, same joy." Li Guangzong beamed.

With the completion of Xuantian Sect's headquarters, this sect with an air of immortality, but actually an organization dominated by workers, finally became a climate.

Li Guangzong invited everyone into the reception room of the main hall to entertain.

Luard suddenly asked: "Why didn't Master Zhao come on such an important day?"

Li Guangzong's smile paused: "He has more important things than tailoring."

Later, He Qi, Feng Huachuan and Liu Zhubo were particularly concerned about Zhao Chuanxin.

The British actively support the ban on smoking, but the Chinese business community in Hong Kong Island have been opposing it.

Because it touches their interests.

Last time, Zhao Chuanxin warned them to restrain themselves with a river of blood.

But a common problem among human beings is that they forget to eat but not to fight.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't show up for such a big thing, these people began to feel anxious again.

Zheng Guohua pulled Li Guangzong aside: "What on earth did the leader do?"

"Go abroad and make money."

"Why didn't you bring anyone?"

Li Guangzong smiled bitterly: "I just hope he doesn't cause too much trouble, so let him go on his own."

Otherwise, others will always be implicated.

Li Zhitao next to him said dissatisfied: "How can you say he is causing trouble? The leader is very powerful."

"Go to the other side, you will be there everywhere." Zheng Guohua was not angry.

Li Zhitao was unconvinced and whispered: "It is."

Zheng Guohua said to Li Guangzong again: "Our Xuantian Sect has been using money to support Lugang Town. This is a bottomless pit."

"Don't worry, we are already building factories and there are coal mines there."

"Will the leader invest in business overseas? Our Xuantian Sect is almost unable to make ends meet."

Li Guangzong knew Zhao Chuanxin's nature well and asked him to go to the bank to withdraw money and to go to the warehouse to purchase goods, which he was good at.

He simply doesn't have the patience to run it for a long time.

He could only say: "Although the leader is not good at business, he still knows how to make quick money. If he persists, he should have plenty of funds in winter."

"Tokyo sent an invitation to participate in their joint advancement meeting. How to reply to this? The Ge Lao Association, Xiaoyi Association, Three O'clock Meeting, and Sun Gongwu and others all joined in."

Except for the Zhao Chuanxin matter, for which Li Guangzong had some scruples and could not make all the decisions, he always cut through the mess quickly: "I won't participate."

"Deputy leader, I think they want to be big." Zheng Guohua reminded. "The reason why we can be invited is because our Xuantian Sect has become such a strong figure, so it wouldn't be a good idea to refuse them directly, right?"

"I've given you money to support, so what if I don't give you face for other things? Sun Gongwu will understand."

Zheng Guohua thought of another thing: "What about Qiu Nuxia?"

"Hey, this is an oversight on my part. I was busy with other things at the time and was delayed. Just let me tell the boss truthfully. During these troubled times, I actually received a telegram from Liang Qichao asking our Lugang Town to support the constitutional monarchy. I also refused. .”

Zheng Guohua sighed: "That's true. When our workers were loading and unloading coal at the dock, they found a Japanese merchant ship from Kobe loaded with weapons and ammunition. It seemed that they were going to Macau. Do you want to tell Lu about this? Or the Qing court?"

Li Guangzong looked at the Hong Kong business people over there and frowned.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "The Lugang Town Insurance Team does not dare to act rashly now. The rebels are entangled with the Japanese in Jiandao. I see that these businessmen on Hong Kong Island are unwilling to be left alone and want to engage in opium trading. For the time being, we have no time to take care of it." Let these things go."

At this time, Luard came over holding a wine glass.

He tentatively said: "Mr. Li, Hong Kong Island has become a big city, but it still lacks a real university, which is really a fly in the ointment. In order to prepare for education, one of our respected British businessmen invested 150,000 yuan. Construction funds. But building a university will cost at least one million. I am going to invite all the wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong to a meeting and form an impromptu fundraising committee. You are now sincerely invited to participate."

Li Guangzong understood and opened his mouth to ask for money again.

The little ledger in his heart was churning. If he squeezed out this money again, he would really have to wait for Zhao Chuanxin's support.

Compared with Lugang Town, which is under construction in full swing, Jiandao, which is undergoing repeated see-saws, and Xuantian Sect of Hong Kong Island, which is on the right track, Zhao Chuanxin is very leisurely.

The new convoy contacted by Edith Roosevelt was unable to cross the fast-flowing Hudson River because of rising water levels.

After taking Wilhelmina for breakfast, Edith Roosevelt approached Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, Standard Oil should have received the news. These people are so bold. To avoid long nights and dreams, can you help escort me and Queen Maria?" Do you want to leave first?"
