mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 939 I came here specially to see you
Zhao Chuanxin was busy working in the white house until the daylight came.

When smoke rose from the town, and when the sheep were driven out of the corral again, Juvencio Torric ran over with a frame on his back, panting and said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Eat quickly, I stole it from home." corn cake."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

He knew then that he needed to call it a day.

"Corn and other coarse grains are for wild boars. Good boy, eat it yourself. Eat it slowly and don't choke to death."

Juvencio Torric: “…”

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "How to get to the home of Urquidi Gomez, your father's gold medal fighter?"

"Sir, he is not a thug, he just works for my father." Juvencio Torric hurriedly explained seriously.

"You are talking nonsense at such a young age." Zhao Chuanxin reprimanded: "Tell me quickly, where does your father's evil minions live? I have something to do with him."

"..." Juvencio Torric was speechless and racked his brains to describe: "Go straight from this road, turn left, turn right after seeing a straight myrtle tree, and walk back in a roundabout way through a bush of bushes. , you can see two stone mills, the largest of which belongs to the Alcaraz family. Don’t get me wrong, as long as you walk around the dilapidated mud wall of the Alcaraz family, you will see the house with a cross on the roof. That’s Urquidi Gomez’s house. But it’s usually his wife Ximena who gets up early, and maybe she opens the door for you, Mr. Constantine, can you remember?”

Zhao Chuanxin's balls hurt when he heard this: "I can remember it, but are you sure what you said is correct? It's very complicated after all."

"Sir, I can't be wrong."

Zhao Chuanxin might not be able to remember it, but Xingyue can.

Following the route given by Juvencio Torric, Zhao Chuanxin strolled towards Urquidi Gomez's house.

Seeing the stone mill and the tattered mud wall, Zhao Chuanxin walked around and saw a house with a cross on the roof.

But here comes the problem, there are two.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and thought that Urquidi Gomez's house must be the larger one, so he knocked on the door: "Is your sister-in-law at home? I am my brother."

No one answered.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to knock on the door: "Sister-in-law, are you at home? I am my brother..."

He remembered that Urquidi Gomez had a younger brother who was also a thug for the landlord's family.

At this time, the door opened with a "squeak".

A small and exquisite woman poked her head out. Although she was small, she had a well-proportioned figure, and her eyebrows were expressive.

Her brown skin shines in the morning sun, her eyebrows are thick, her lips are full, and her dark, thick hair is full of uncarved wildness. She is a typical Latin American beauty.

"What are you talking about?" The woman asked Zhao Chuanxin in surprise with her eyes widened.

"Um...are you Urquidi's daughter-in-law?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not expect Urquidi Gomez to have a beautiful wife.

"Bah!" the woman spat: "I am Salma, the daughter of the priest. I am only 17 years old. A man as old as Urquidi Gomez can never get me. But if it were you, I could. consider……"

Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "Don't think too much about me. I'm not a man you can get easily. Since this is the priest's house, Urquidi Gomez must live next to it, right?"

Latin beauties are like peaches that ripen easily. Zhao Chuanxin thought she was at least in her twenties.

Salma frowned: "I don't know."

Close the door with a bang.

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged and knocked on the door next to him. His voice was not loud, but his tone was like shouting, and he said in a long voice: "Ximena, are you at home? I'm here..."

"Shh... don't make any noise, Urquidy is sleeping." The woman responded in a low voice in the courtyard. At the same time, the door was slowly opened, as if she was afraid that the door axis would make a grinding sound and wake up the male owner. The strange middle-aged woman stretched out her head and looked out furtively.

But after discovering that it was Zhao Chuanxin, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, her back straightened, and her voice became louder: "Who are you?"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened, he extended his index finger and pointed at the yard with a sneaky expression, and continued to ask in a low voice: "Is Urquidi at home?"

This confused Ximena.

Her waist slumped again, she hunched her neck and hunched her shoulders, trying to remember, but she couldn't think of an Asian man among the people working at night.

After a while, she straightened her back again and asked in a loud voice: "Who are you?"

Zhao Chuanxin coughed: "Ahem, I'm here to see Urquidi."

Ximena was so angry that she pinched her waist and asked: "Looking for Urquidi? Why do you speak so quietly when looking for Urquidi?"

"Aren't I afraid of disturbing people's dreams?"

"Afraid of disturbing me, why did you come in the morning?" Ximena was even more angry: "Also, why did you call me by my name when you were looking for Urquidi? Why were you so sneaky?"

"Didn't I see you being sneaky and I'm being sneaky?"

"you……"

At this time, a man's voice came from the room: "Ximena, who is here?"

"Looking for you."

Urquidi Gomez went out with his clothes on and drowsily. When he saw Zhao Chuanxin, he said in shock: "Foreigner, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand: "Please come inside, please come inside. Don't stand outside and talk."

He said and pushed Urquidi Gomez a few times.

Urquidi Gomez was not clear-headed at first, but now he was even more confused - who am I, whose house am I in, and the owner of this house is back?
Zhao Chuanxin sat on the straw mat on the stone platform in the courtyard, lit an old sword and said: "Urquidi, I came to you because I want you to help take care of the house on weekdays. After all, the world is not peaceful at this time. , It will be difficult if a thief comes to the door. I have no strength to fight with people. "

Urquidy Gomez yawned: "Why? Why should I help you take care of the house?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out two bottles of Odinger beer from Hamburg and a few Brut sausages: "Neighbors, what's wrong with you? Are you not giving me face?"

The Oettinger beer was beautifully packaged, with a printed German sign that made Urquidi Gomez's eyes light up.

German sausages are world-famous, and you can tell just by looking at them that they are delicious.

These days, many things cannot be obtained with money.

He swallowed and said, "Neighbors should really help each other."

Zhao Chuanxin took out another exquisite leather bag scrounged from Berlin's KaDeWe department store and slapped it on the table: "Can't you be more friendly?"

Urquidi Gomez nodded like a chicken: "Don't say friendly. If you are more friendly, you can recognize your relatives. Ximena, have you made breakfast? I invite guests to have breakfast."

Ximena shouted: "It's done."

As she spoke, she came out with a plate of tortillas: "Your favorite nachos with guacamole."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his head and took a look: "Ah, Ximena is indeed a virtuous wife. She cooks food that is both delicious and delicious... No, it is delicious, delicious and delicious."

It's hard to swallow just looking at it.

Urquidi Gomez quickly scolded: "Bring one to the guest."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "No, no. Ximena is the kind of loyal and intelligent woman at first glance, and you can't bear to make her work hard. I'm just here to tell you, and I'll leave now."

Ximena kept a straight face and pursed her lips without speaking.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Chuanxin relied on buying others to achieve his goals. Not to mention, it was quite novel.

He put his hands behind his back and went out humming a tune.

The moment you leave, use the energy fluctuation and convergence rune fragments to open the holy light channel and teleport back to the warehouse.

Flash forward and return to The Hague.

Being smart does not mean being able to escape from the nature of a baby. Juliana is no different from other children. She will still cry when her wishes cannot be fulfilled.

"Daddy, I want daddy..." Juliana patted Margot in her arms.

Wilhelmina had a headache from the noise and looked helplessly out of the window.

Suddenly she saw a figure in the square outside the palace, and turned around and said to Juliana: "Your father is back." Juliana immediately stopped crying after hearing this, with tears still hanging in her eyes, but she chuckled: "Dad He's back, dad's back, this worried dad..."

"..."

As soon as Juliana called, Zhao Chuanxin had already pushed open the door and walked in as fast as he walked directly from the yard to the house.

The palace is really not a retail room.

But after Zhao Chuanxin had a daughter, he couldn't help but worry about her.

Wilhelmina looked back out the window and then at Zhao Chuanxin who came in. It felt very unreal.

When Zhao Chuanxin came back, he didn't even alert the guards outside.

Zhao Chuanxin, however, had already taken Juliana out of Margot's arms and said, "Daughter, daddy is back."

"Go, go..." Juliana jumped in Zhao Chuanxin's arms, her little feet were very strong.

"Leave?" Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "If you want to leave, I'll teach you a trick - when you step out with your left foot, you can then walk with your right foot."

Juliana: “…”

She accumulated her anger, grabbed Zhao Chuanxin's beard and said, "Dad, hurry up, let's go."

"Quickly?" Zhao Chuanxin grinned as he was caught in the act: "Father, let me teach you, every inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and every inch of time is worth a xin."

Juliana: “…”

Finally, she had to use her ultimate move - howl.

Zhao Chuanxin's eardrums were able to adapt to the battlefield with heavy artillery fire, but Juliana's scream almost pierced it.

He surrendered: "Okay, okay, let's set off now. I'll wrap you up in three layers first."

The inside is lined with silk, the outside is a standard wool blanket, and the outermost layer is a down comforter.

Wilhelmina felt that part of her love had been taken away from her daughter, and she felt a little unhappy.

She said: "Why are we walking? I need your help with something..."

When Zhao Chuanxin wrapped Juliana in a quilt, he told Zhao Chuanxin about Edward VII's severe cold.

She said with concern: "The King of England is old but refuses to accept old age. The doctor said he has pneumonia. But he is too old and the medication is not effective. If he increases the dose, he is worried that his body will not be able to bear it. After all, he is not an ordinary person." people."

What she meant was that if an ordinary person were to increase the dose, they would probably die. But that was the King of England, and the Netherlands would not dare to put the King of England to death.

Zhao Chuanxin wondered: "Why did he come to the Netherlands? What is there in this small country worth visiting?"

"..." Wilhelmina felt offended: "The Netherlands was also a maritime overlord."

"A 67-year-old man who had to go out on the streets on a rainy day and contracted the cold and pneumonia is a worthy death."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously.

If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.

Wilhelmina thought of Edward VII's distinctive personality and suddenly said: "I think he might be here for you. Ethan, think about it, you are both romantic, pushy and cynical... so he Maybe I came to the Netherlands to see you out of sympathy."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised when he heard this.

It really feels like Boya meets Ziqi.

But Wilhelmina was obviously complaining about something.

Wilhelmina seems to have heard something...

Zhao Chuanxin had already wrapped Juliana in a quilt, walked up to Wilhelmina with his daughter in one arm, and kissed her lightly on the mouth.

He said with a smile: "People in the world slander decent gentlemen like Zhao, and I'm used to it. But I am indeed different from that arrogant old gangster. Well, let me go see him and see if there is any way to persuade him to return to China. Go to hell.”

"..."

Can you still persuade me to die?
But Zhao Chuanxin had already gone out with his daughter in his arms.

British Consulate in The Hague.

Edward VII's face turned sallow and his breathing was like bellows. It was obvious that his condition was getting worse. Considering his age, whether he could be cured was a matter of life and death.

Edward VII pursed his lips.

Leon Venus, the British Consul General in The Hague, looked miserable and couldn't help but step forward to hear what the king had to say. Could it be a will?
When Leon Venus put his ear to Edward VII's mouth, at this time, the king actually said: "I went to the street to watch folk artists perform just on the way. In fact, I wanted to see the famous horse called ' Galloping Organ's Alden Horse. Consul General Venus, can you help me ask if Galloping Organ won the last horse race?"

Leon Venus, the British Consul General in The Hague, was speechless.

While he was blowing out the lamp and pulling out the wax, the old King of England still cared about horse racing?
How unreliable does this have to be?

But if you want to say that he is unreliable, the few years of Edward VII's reign are called the Golden Age.

Once a troubled boy, he later became a wise king.

Leon Venus couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will ask for you."

At this time, an employee of the consulate came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Consul General, Zhao Chuanxin is outside asking for an audience."

Leon Venus frowned: "Drive him away, why are you causing trouble at this time?"

Unexpectedly, the dying Edward VII suddenly sat up from the hospital bed: "Let him come in quickly, and ask Zhao to pass on his salary as soon as possible."

Everyone: "..."

Your Majesty, are you serious?

Zhao Chuanxin carried his daughter into the room and saw Edward VII who was advised not to get out of bed by the doctor. He smiled and waved to him: "Zhao, you are exactly as I imagined. You guys help me up quickly. I want to talk to Zhao Talk about women.”

In the current world, as far as Zhao Chuanxin was concerned, the Qing court and the foreign powers were all enemies.

But he didn't kill them all with one shot.

He is a human being, not a black and white machine.

For example, among the officials of the Qing court, he had a good rapport with Zhou Fu, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Zhao Chuanxin always believed that Anglo-Saxons were the most despicable people.

But the fat old man in front of him was very angry with him.

At this time, the infant Juliana pointed at Edward VII and said: "Dad, he is going to die."

The expressions of everyone in the room suddenly changed.

But Edward VII looked kind and cheerful, with a smile on his pale, fat face.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Chuanxin's face darkened: "If others die, they will die, but why do you say such unlucky words. Be good and don't meddle in other people's business."

Everyone: "..."

Edward VII's smile froze, and he said with a wry smile: "This is your and Wilhelmina's child, right? Others say that the new Dutch princess is smart, and it turned out to be so when I saw her today. A child under one year old can actually speak."

Zhao Chuanxin held the child in his arms, pushed Leon Venus away, and sat on his chair.

He said: "Edward, you said that you, at your age, caused trouble to the Netherlands."

Edward VII leaned on the bedside, winked at Juliana, and did not feel dissatisfied with Zhao Chuanxin's words. He said: "To be honest, my real purpose is not to visit the Netherlands, but to see you."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Unexpectedly, Wilhelmina's words came true.
