mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 115 I met the ax gang
Five days later, Shanhaiguan.

Du Lisan's younger brother, Wu Wenle, stuffed money into the general at the pass, and then returned with a proud face, saying, "The vice capital of Shanhaiguan is ours."

Just in case, Zhao Chuanxin put away everyone's rifles, leaving only the pistol covered by his clothes.

He found that even other civilians, those officers and soldiers did not search their bodies, and let them go at will.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they passed the barrier on horseback.

Wu Wenle cupped his fists and said, "Captain Zhao, this trip can only be sent here."

Zhao Chuanxin also cupped his hands: "Thank you for taking care of me all the way, and help me thank you, the head of your family."

It is really thanks to this person, otherwise, not to mention many detours along the way, it may also cause a lot of trouble.

After bidding farewell to Wu Wenle, Zhao Chuanxin didn't leave in a hurry. He saw a dustpan seller on the side of the road, so he bought some and a few pairs of shoulder poles.

I saw someone selling persimmon cakes, so I also bought some.

Just buy as you go.

Gao Li finally couldn't help asking: "Pass the salary, why buy these? Is it for food on the road?"

Zhao Chuanxin stopped in front of a stall selling second-hand clothes. Buying old clothes is called "clothes inspection". Poor families generally don't make new clothes, they sell old ones to wear.

He said casually: "Prepare for the next action."

As he said, he picked and bought several sets of old clothes according to everyone's figure.

Almost didn't stop here, and rushed straight to the capital.

During this journey, Zhao Chuanxin truly experienced the end of the Qing Dynasty. The Hebei area is not as fertile as the Northeast, and a handful of soil seems to be able to squeeze out oil.

The common people generally did not have enough food and clothing to keep warm, and none of the common people that Zhao Chuanxin saw was skinny and skinny.

Some middle-aged men pushed a wheelbarrow, and Zhao Chuanxin wondered if his thin arms and legs could be broken by a large load of goods.

He also saw the children of the Bannermen in strange costumes with big hat brims. After hundreds of years, they still carried eagles on their arms, as proud as if they were real nobles.

They were also skinny, and Zhao Chuanxin felt that they were smoking opium.

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to sing a song.

"Sleeping for a hundred years, the people of the country are gradually waking up...Throughout the ages, if robbers invade, they will die in the end. The Great Wall will never fall..."

He sang very softly, only Li Guangzong and Gao Li who were around him could hear him.

Gao Li asked, "What is this? I don't understand."

Li Guangzong said: "The tone is a bit deafening..."

It just so happened that a foreigner couple passed by carrying a suitcase, curiously looking at this line of people who were particularly energetic.

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen someone who is handsome and good at singing?"

With a mouthful of saliva, he spit on the hem of the foreign woman's clothes.

The foreigner was furious, and he wanted to get angry when he lifted his hat.

Gao Li took out the horsewhip and whipped it across, and a red mark appeared on the foreigner's cheek.

Gao Li said coldly: "If you dare to talk too much, I will kill you today!"

It may be because of the rhythm brought by Zhao Chuanxin, the people in the insurance team got angry when they saw foreigners.

Foreigners dare not speak out.

In fact, the foreigners, the government and the people in China at this time are like this: the government is afraid of the foreigners, the foreigners are afraid of the people, and the people are afraid of the government.

Why are foreigners afraid of the common people?
During the fight against righteousness and boxing, many foreigners were killed, whether they were soldiers or ordinary foreigners who came to China.There are many bandits who dare to tie foreign tickets to extort money.

So foreigners usually go to the yamen when they get angry.The yamen came to find bad luck for the people.

Seeing this, the foreign woman hurriedly pulled the boy and told him not to speak.

Although Zhao Chuanxin took away everyone's rifles at this time, judging from the shape of their waists, it was obvious that they had weapons.

Zhao Chuanxin was very satisfied, and felt that he had the aura of landlords, rich local tyrants and evil gentry.

Foreigners are nothing.

But it didn't take long before trouble hit the door.

A group of people from the yamen trotted over, half carrying guns and half carrying long guns.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that the two foreign couples were hanging far behind.

Without further ado, he took the rifle out of the secret pendant and threw it to everyone next to each other.

Everyone didn't get off their horses, and directly pulled the hitch on their horses to aim.

Zhao Chuanxin fired directly, bang!

A yamen soldier's footsteps were filled with dirt, his footsteps stopped, he jumped forward and fell to the ground.

"Go back wherever you came from, if you dare to take a step forward, you will be killed!"

Gauri yelled loudly.

This group of soldiers originally wanted to take their guns, but when they heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were really obedient for a moment, so they turned around and rolled away.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes and shot at the cap on the head of the foreigner farther away.

He wasn't sure he could hit it accurately at such a long distance. If he couldn't hit the hat, then the foreigner would have to die here.

As a result, God may also have mercy on the foreigner, and the shot hit him.

The foreigner's hat was blown off.

The group of soldiers saw that they ran faster.

Li Guangzong asked in a low voice: "Sir, is this really all right?"

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "It's not a big problem, the big deal is that if you go all the way and fight all the way, you can save some weapons and ammunition, and send a batch to those gangsters as favors later. It's right to be an early revolution."

If we talk about the current ranks of forces in the country, the regular foreign army is larger than the six Beiyang towns that have not yet fully formed, and the six Beiyang towns are far larger than ordinary soldiers.

He is not even afraid of Zhao Chuanxin, the Japanese and Russian regular army, so why do he care about these waste-like soldiers of the Qing court?

Li Guangzong felt unsafe: "Is it too high-profile?"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Chuanxin spat: "Without surveillance, without a car, what can they do to me?"

After leaving the three eastern provinces, Zhao Chuanxin felt like a tiger coming out of its cage.

Sure enough, when the group of soldiers went back and reported the matter, Shangguan paid more attention to it, but when the soldiers arrived, they didn't even find Mao.

Zhao Chuanxin and others found a hotel with a high-walled courtyard to stay.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard people yelling and screaming inside gambling.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin and his group come in, the voice of shouting stagnated for a while, and then became lively again.

Li Guangzong took out the money: "Find the best room, one for two, if there is something good to eat, prepare a table for us first."

The yard was full of bags and parcels, but Zhao Chuanxin and his party were empty-handed and had nothing.

Because the big bag of luggage is with Zhao Chuanxin.

When he arrived at the inn, Zhao Chuanxin pretended to take things out of the bag: "Then, your toothbrush, tooth bowl, towel, soap, wash them quickly, they are almost smelly."

He usually doesn't use the Secret Realm pendant to pick up and place items directly, but makes a bag for it.Because he used to juggle things like this before, and everyone is used to it.

Archmage, he must know some spells.

After eating, Zhao Chuanxin made a plate of cold shredded chicken breast.

A nearby table saw people, and said to the boss: "Get us a plate of cold appetizers, and have them with wine."

The boss was a fat old man wearing a round cap and a shiny leather jacket.

It is fashionable to wear such glossy and shiny clothes at the moment, which is extravagant, which means that they are not short of money.Where do the poor get so much money?

Wear too clean, easy to be laughed at.

The old man cheerfully explained, "The guest brought it himself."

The man with the braids on his head patted the table, and said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Man Wu, sell me the cold dish, it looks so greedy."

This guy Zhao Chuanxin has an impression. He was the one who gambled before, and he is the best at bluffing.

"50 taels of silver, you pay."

Zhao Chuanxin said without raising his head.

The man's expression changed: "Okay, you little boy, are you looking for faults?"

They also have eight or nine people, so they will not be intimidated by the number of people on Zhao Chuanxin's side.

Gao Li glanced at him with cold eyes, and said coldly: "If you talk too much, you will be speechless!"

The man opened his mouth and said, "My mother..."

In the middle of speaking, an ax flew over.

The ax stuck directly on the man's jaw!

That man couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to howl, he was so miserable.

His accomplice was stunned for a moment, and then he copied the bench and the pot.

And look at the other end, good guy, a group of people suddenly got up, and each of them looked behind, with an extra handaxe in their hands.The ax blade was shining coldly, and the ax handle was shiny, staring at them maliciously.

A group of people slowly put down everything in their hands...
