mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1006 You Deserve to Die
This old guy Liu Yonghe had an ominous life in the first half of his life. In the second half of his life, he spent half dealing with Tsarist Russia and the other half fighting Japan.

Born in a humble family, he was used to using unruly methods in the beginning and made mistakes later on, but he is still stronger as he grows older and becomes more courageous with each setback.

Originally, he would have died on the battlefield, which was his wish, but Zhao Chuanxin suddenly heard that he was brutally killed by the Japanese.

The single word "abuse" made Zhao Chuanxin's veins bulge.

He had been mentally prepared that his old friends would inevitably leave him one by one.

The closer it got to the year of Xinhai, the more unstable Zhao Chuanxin's emotions became.

That was not the beginning of a good life, it was the prelude to a stormy life.

As a result, he had been killing too much recently, and his heart had become even more violent.

Even civil servants from the government office would walk around it when passing by, as if they were avoiding an everlasting iceberg.

Cui Fenghua carefully explained the circumstances of Liu Yonghe's death.

"When Brigadier General Liu heard that the imperial court had signed a treaty with Japan, he was already angry. Seeing the Japanese wantonly inserting road signs, surveying and mapping across the border, and trying to connect the railway, he couldn't help but feel hopeless. When he led his men to shoot the Japanese, he was betrayed by a traitor and was surrounded by the Japanese army. The Japanese soldier who led the troops was named Takaki Tono. He accurately predicted where Brigadier General Liu would be staying. He did not use artillery, but led his men to encircle and persuade them to surrender. Brigadier General Liu led his men to fight with their last shot and bullet, but was shot in the thigh by a Japanese sharpshooter, and the rest were killed in the battle. After Brigadier General Liu was captured, the Japanese pulled out his fingernails and toenails and broke all his teeth. Brigadier General Liu never said a word, and only told the Japanese soldier on his deathbed that Captain Zhao would avenge him."

How old is Liu Yonghe?
If I’m not sixty, I’m probably close to it.

This man, who was an expert marksman, once lived in the outlaw army but hated evil and fought bravely against the Russian Empire and the Japanese invaders.

When he got old, this was the end of him.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Cui Fenghua: "What agreement did the Qing government sign with the devils?"

"The Jiandao Agreement..."

Cui Fenghua explained the contents of the agreement to Zhao Chuanxin in detail.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the traitor's name again.

"There is a Tianbao Mountain near Longjing. In the 15th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, refugees mined silver in the Hongshilazi of Tianbao Mountain, which was later occupied by local officials. Later, the Japanese invaders crossed the border and drove the officials away. The Japanese invaders drove them away again, and later the local tyrant Feng Yuzheng occupied the mine. When Brigadier General Liu learned about this, he took over the mine and used the silver earned from mining as military funds for the Beishui Army. Feng Yuzheng was resentful, so he secretly colluded with the Japanese and tipped off the Japanese, which eventually led to the tragedy."

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "What about Lugang Town? Is there any movement?"

The Beishui Army is an independent army and has an ambiguous relationship with Lugang Town, but they do not interact with it openly.

"Captain Li is the closest friend of Brigadier General Liu and wants to lead troops to support us. However, the 20th Japanese Army is gathering in Zhongjiang County and is eyeing us covetously. If we divide our forces, the Japanese army on the other side of the Yalu River may launch an attack."

Cui Fenghua originally came from the Beishui Army, but because he was timid, he did logistics and clerical work.

Later, he was transferred to Lubin Prefecture by Zhao Chuanxin.

Cui Fenghua started to cry as he spoke: "Sir, many of our old brothers died in the battle. They died tragically..."

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder and said to himself, "Little devils, how do you want me to prove that your uncle is your uncle after all?"

He did not say anything, nor did he deal with his official business. He left the government office on his own, rode his camel, and went to look for Benjamin Goldberg.

Benjamin Goldberg is teaching art as a substitute.

"Junior brother, please be more serious. The formula I taught you is the key to using the Soul-Bewitching Lamp. The Soul-Bewitching Lamp can restore these reactions and achieve the purpose of purification. If you can't remember it, you will never understand what you purified."

"Junior brother, why are you distracted again?"

"Junior brother..."

Benjamin Goldberg was sweating profusely while teaching.

Yao Bing's head was full of question marks: "Big Brother, I really don't understand. How about you teach me how to use a gun? Master must have taught you very advanced gun skills. No? Then you can use a sword or a knife."

"Ah this..."

Zhao Chuanxin pushed the door open and walked in: "I will teach you some real skills."

The two looked up and said in surprise, "Master."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Benjamin Goldberg and said, "Benjamin, you have to promise me one thing."

"Master, what's so serious?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked out the window with his hands behind his back: "In the future, you can stay in China, return to the United States, or go to Europe. But no matter where you are, you must not do anything that harms China. Otherwise, I will really peel off your skin."

"Master, if someone wants to harm me, should I not resist?"

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. You judge for yourself."

Benjamin Goldberg muses.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Yao Bing and said, "The same goes for you. If you dare to betray the country, I will not forgive you."

"Yes, Master." Yao Bing was confused.

But at this moment the Master was extremely strict.

Zhao Chuanxin put sunglasses on Benjamin Goldberg's face.

"Remember the pattern first. The route formed by the three-dimensional pattern is the route where energy converges. This is called the fourth dimension. Perhaps you still cannot understand it, but as long as it can be gathered between your fingers..."

Before he could finish his words, a red light flashed on Benjamin Goldberg's fingers.

"Zhao..." Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.

Why do people have such a strong sense of difference?
Before he had completed the essentials, Benjamin Goldberg was already able to follow Xingyue's instructions and successfully condense a level 1 light blade.

Yao Bing was surprised to see the red light between Benjamin Goldberg's fingers and reached out to touch them: "Master, look..."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his fingers away.

If you're slower, you'll be cut off by the blade of light.

At this moment, Benjamin Goldberg's finger slid across the corner of the table, and the corner was neatly cut off. Yao Bing gasped: "Oh..."

Then he said excitedly: "Master, teach me."

Zhao Chuanxin took the sunglasses off Benjamin Goldberg's face and put them on Yao Bing.

Benjamin Goldberg volunteered: "Master, I will teach you my art."

Without further ado, he began to instruct Yao Bing.

About ten minutes later, a red light popped out from between Yao Bing's fingers.

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Jueyuan and Zhang Junbao are a stupid master and a talented apprentice. Zhao Chuanxin could never have imagined that one day he would become a negative example.

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and said, "This is called Light Blade, a rune. The reason I teach you this is because the world is about to get into chaos, and I want you to have more skills to protect yourself. If you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. It all depends on your future luck."

Benjamin Goldberg said, "Master, I feel that this rune still has room for improvement and its power should be far more than this."

"Alright, alright, I understand. I will teach you after I create my own runes. Don't be too ambitious or too eager for quick success. We are the orthodox sect of Xuanmen."

"..."

Why does Master look a little guilty?

After teaching the level 1 Light Blade Rune, Zhao Chuanxin talked about weapons and ammunition.

Benjamin Goldberg said, "That's easy. I can just send a telegram to Hankou. But where is the buyer? How can I deliver the goods to his door?"

Zhao Chuanxin said, "I will go to the factory to pick up the goods in a few days. Ask them to make 10 more guns and rounds of ammunition."

……

In Yanji, Wu Luzhen was sending a telegram with red eyes.

Soon, I received a reply: Keep quiet.

This was the third telegram he sent, and also the third reply from the Qing court and Xu Shichang.

The court did not agree to go to war.

At this time, a subordinate reported: "General, the Japanese army is killing the remnants of the Beishui Army. They have captured more than 200 people and killed 157 people. The rest are guerrilla warfare in the mountains under the leadership of Ge Yunpeng. I am afraid they will not be able to hold out for long."

Wu Luzhen clenched his fists, anxious, and sent another telegram to Xu Shichang.

……

Longjing, the people are talking about it.

"General Liu is a good man, but good men don't live long."

"General Liu once sent noodles to my family. The Japanese are really despicable. They are not going to stop at nothing by killing people. Why did they torture people like this and even hang their bodies on a pole to humiliate them?"

"The Japs have hated General Liu for years."

"The world is going to be in chaos again..."

"Humph, if the God of War Zhao Chuanxin were here, the Japanese wouldn't be so arrogant."

"That's right, Tono Takaki. What position did you come to? To Liao, he was a captain. He was the General Liu whom he killed."

At the pole, there were about a hundred Japanese soldiers guarding it.

The people can only watch from afar and cannot go forward.

Japanese troops were stationed at all major transportation routes.

This tactic is called waiting for the rabbit to come, waiting for the army that wants to take revenge or take back Liu Yonghe's body to come, and either kill them or capture them.

At this time, a tall man, with a look of neither joy nor sadness on his face, dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses, pushed through the crowd and walked towards the pole where Liu Yonghe was hanging.

"Baga, who are you?"

The Japanese soldiers saw that the man was not dressed like a soldier or an ordinary citizen, and they couldn't figure out his intentions.

The man turned a deaf ear and continued walking.

"I'm talking to you. Who are you? Tell me your name." The Japanese soldier who spoke stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him.

The man slightly leaned over and pointed his finger at the Japanese soldier's forehead. The soldier immediately fell down with a red dot on his forehead.

"A little red outside the pass..."

The onlookers and Japanese soldiers all reacted.

"It's Zhao Chuanxin!"

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was walking with spare parts falling off his body.

Ten Black Widow puppets fell down, moving so fast on the ground that they almost became afterimages.

Then, Zhao Chuanxin raised his left arm.

bang bang bang...

The Japanese soldiers' gunshots were heard first.

But the bullets seemed to have eyes and all flew around Zhao Chuanxin.

The onlookers dispersed in a hurry: "Oh my God, a fight has broken out, someone is killing someone..." Bang, bang, bang...

The subsequent series of gunshots were emitted by the Black Widow puppet.

Ten Black Widow puppets, each carrying 15 rounds of ammunition, wiped out hundreds of Japanese soldiers in one encounter.

Zhao Chuanxin walked up to a Japanese soldier who was not completely dead and stomped on him.

Click.

This person's face collapsed.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the pole where Liu Yonghe was hanging and looked up.

Liu Yonghe was in a miserable state. All ten of his fingers and toes were broken, and his nails were missing, with black blood stains on them.

His mouth was sunken, one of his eyes was about to fall out of its socket, his left arm was broken, his right leg was pierced by a bullet, and his left ankle was broken...

At this time, his head was drooping, and his one remaining blood-red eye was wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

Old Zhao's Adam's apple rolled.

He ran up and jumped, grabbed the pole with one hand and dropped it suddenly to pull it down, then let it go gently after landing to cut the rope.

Zhao Chuanxin said softly: "Old Liu, I'm here."

He reached out and helped Liu Yonghe close his eyes.

The wide-open eyes closed easily.

It was as if the dead person also knew that the person in front of him could give him an explanation.

The Black Widow puppets ran back one by one, and Zhao Chuanxin released the puppet slaves to change their magazines.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a golden nanmu coffin from the secret space. It was not big, just enough to fit Liu Yonghe, as if it was tailor-made for him.

There are carvings of gods and Buddhas all over the coffin.

Extremely gorgeous.

Zhao Chuanxin put Liu Yonghe's already smelly body into the coffin and said, "This coffin was originally prepared for me, but I'm giving it to you in advance."

At this time, countless Japanese troops surrounded them from outside.

Zhao Chuanxin placed the coffin where it was, put on the Chaos Armor, and rode on the Third Generation Dragon to meet them.

The Japanese troops lying in ambush on the periphery heard the dense gunfire and thought that the Beishui Army had sneaked in, so they rushed over to attack.

Unexpectedly, I saw a black iron thing coming at me at lightning speed.

Tata Tata...

Machine gun muzzles were exposed on both sides of the Third Generation Youlong, and as flames spewed out, rows of Japanese soldiers fell down.

Four cruise missile launch holes popped up.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The first wave of ambushed Japanese troops was completely wiped out.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to move forward, and Xingyue detected: "Go to the right, there are Japanese soldiers hiding behind the bunker 300 meters away."

Zhao Chuanxin took out the cruise missile, and Xingyue manipulated the puppet arm to reload it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The cruise missile drew a strange arc, bypassed the bunker, and flew back in a circle.

The Japanese soldiers hiding behind the bunkers saw the cruise missiles flying towards them with deadly tail smoke, and they could not help but flee in panic.

Boom boom boom boom.

Xingyue emphasizes efficiency and specializes in bombing places where the Japanese are concentrated.

Zhao Chuanxin released the Black Widow puppet, and the Third Generation Youlong continued to attack and pursue. The Japanese soldiers at the back were all killed effortlessly by the Black Widow puppet, and those in the front were killed by the Third Generation Youlong's machine gun fire.

The people of Longjing watched from afar and opened their mouths wide when they saw this: "The Japanese are finished..."

On the outskirts of the third wave of Japanese trench ambush, Ge Yunpeng, with the remnants of the Backwater Army, was trying to break through the defense line to snatch Liu Yonghe's body, when he suddenly heard bursts of gunfire and rumbling of artillery fire and was very surprised.

"Which of our troops launched the attack in advance?" Ge Yunpeng asked in surprise.

"There's no one here. We are a large team." The subordinate said in a crying voice.

Ge Yunpeng's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Could it be Wu Luzhen?"

He looked carefully with a telescope and saw that the Japanese in the trench seemed very nervous and were looking around curiously.

Then, Ge Yunpeng saw an arrow falling from the sky and landing accurately in the trench.

boom……

All the Japanese within five or six meters were killed.

Ge Yunpeng slapped the ground fiercely and shouted, "It's Mr. Zhao."

Everyone was overjoyed: "Mr. Zhao is here?"

A section of the trench was blown up, and the Japanese soldiers all became turtles, lowering their heads.

At this time, Ge Yunpeng saw the smoke in the bombed trench dissipate, and a dark figure appeared.

The figure was holding a Winchester M1897 shotgun and fired repeatedly in both directions.

Boom, boom, boom...

Trench broom, it lives up to its name.

After firing one gun, the figure put it away, switched to the next one, and continued firing. The Japanese soldiers cried for their parents and were stunned.

They never expected that the enemy would suddenly appear in the trench and engage in close combat with them.

Some Japanese soldiers also shot at the black shadow, but the black shadow was not affected at all and continued shooting.

Ge Yunpeng suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there are Japanese soldiers sneaking up behind Mr. Zhao, let's go and help..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.

There were small black things bouncing around in the trench, gunfire flashed, and the Japanese soldiers behind the black figures staggered to and fro.

"I'm afraid..." Ge Yunpeng was stunned: "What kind of trick is this?"

Before anyone could answer him, there was no one left in the trench.

The figure jumped out of the trench lightly, and the spider-like creatures in the trench also jumped out. Another figure appeared out of nowhere, bending over and doing something. In a moment, the other figure and the group of spider-like creatures all disappeared.

Ge Yunpeng saw the figure waving towards him: "Mr. Zhao has found us, let's go."

A group of people got up from the ground and ran as fast as they could, as if rushing towards the dawn.

"Mr. Zhao..."

They ran and cried, cried and shouted.

The wind wiped away their tears, passed through their temples, and mixed with their sweat.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Chaos Armor, put it away, reloaded his shotgun, and waited for Ge Yunpeng and the others.

When they got closer, Zhao Chuanxin gave them no chance to cry and ordered, "Twenty people, go in and carry the coffin, find a place in Longjing, and bury Lao Liu. The rest of you, take me to Tianbaoshan Silver Mine, to find Feng Yuzheng."

The group of people led by the big black guy Ge Yunpeng numbered about a hundred.

Everyone was in a mess and injured. It was obvious that it was not easy to survive after several hard battles.

Zhao Chuanxin discovered that the big black man who used to be so cheerful has now become taciturn and very authoritative.

Everyone was happy to listen to him.

On the way to Tianbaoshan Silver Mine, Zhao Chuanxin saw the road signs put up by the Japanese.

It seems that these roads have been connected to South Korea and have been taken over by Japan.

Seeing him sneer, Ge Yunpeng said, "Sir, let's pull them all out. You get angry just by looking at me. This is the work of the Qing government."

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "No, keep it."

Ge Yunpeng and others were puzzled: "Why keep it?"

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly: "We'll know in a few days."

Tianbaoshan Silver Mine.

Feng Yu was enjoying himself with the feasting and drinking. The women on his left and right all had faces as beautiful as full moons. They were obviously beautiful women he had found from the other side of the river.

"Once Liu Danzi dies, the silver mine will return to its original owner, and Feng can rest easy. In my opinion, the world should not change. Whoever owns it, owns it."

"Mr. Feng is absolutely right."

"Liu Danzi used his power to bully others. Zhang followed the court rules and collected taxes normally, but Liu Danzi refused to allow it. This man is suffering himself, but he doesn't want others to have a good life. He is really morally corrupt!"

"Master Feng, have you ever thought about going to the Water Army to seek revenge?"

Feng Yuzheng laughed heartily: "I might as well tell you that the Japanese ambushed a large group of soldiers at the place where Liu Danzi's body was. There is another large group of soldiers outside the silver mine. The Beishui Army has become a lost dog now, how dare they attack? If they attack, I will make sure that none of them will get away. Besides, I have hired more than 30 good soldiers to guard the house, what is there to be afraid of?"

As they were talking, they heard faint sounds of gunfire.

Feng Yuzheng frowned, and several people's expressions changed slightly.

Feng Yuzheng comforted him, "It's okay. If those soldiers dare to come, we will make sure they never return."

The sound of gunfire became more intense.

The gunfire on a normal battlefield was chaotic, but Feng Yuzheng and the others heard a regular pattern of gunfire - Ta-ta-ta-ta...

"This is a machine gun. I know it's a Japanese killing weapon. Humph, you dare to touch my beard? You must be tired of living."

After about half an hour, the gunfire stopped.

Feng Yuzheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Look, I said nothing happened, but you still didn't believe me. What's the matter with the Back Water Army? You should know that the Japanese sent two divisions to North Korea this time. The Back Water Army has hit a wall. The number of troops is not enough to fill their teeth."

South Korea, whose full name is the Korean Empire, is still called North Korea by the people in the country.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.

"Boom."

A security guard named Zhou rushed into the door, his cervical vertebrae were unnaturally twisted, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. He looked very scary.

Soon, when screams were heard in the yard, a tall man pushed the door open and said, "Feng Yuzheng, you really deserve to die!"
