Chapter 227 Zhao·Jingjie·Passenger

The Laolongtou Floating Bridge is divided into three sections.

In the middle of the two sections, there is a pillar standing underwater, with a load-bearing cable pulled on it.

Some Beiyang soldiers climbed up along the rope, hanging like monkeys, gesticulating and waving flags.

In the distance, the marine police on five steamboats saw it with binoculars, and hurriedly said: "Set off the boat, prepare your weapons, don't embarrass me in the face of the marine police!"

On the Laolongtou pontoon, Yuan Datou's face was full of pride.

But at this moment, a hateful sound came from under the pontoon.

Who is it if it’s not Zhao Chuanxian?

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said: "This is called, ridiculous hunters often appear in the form of prey!"

Everyone on the pontoon was shocked!

Zhao Chuanxin had just jumped into the Haihe River. He hadn't seen him for a long time, but unexpectedly he appeared at their feet.

Yuan Datou was particularly embarrassed: "You..."

The ridiculous hunter appears in the form of prey, which is automatically fed into the mouth of the real hunter.

Zhao Chuanxin seemed to be stuck under the pontoon, and his voice came across the pontoon: "You are such a shady old boy, and you want the water police to surround me on the river? I'll deal with you later."

Zhao Chuanxin's voice below was getting farther and farther away, and then disappeared completely with a "pop".

"Quick, let's go ashore first." Yuan Datou hurriedly greeted everyone. Seeing that Aixinjueluo Yikuang wanted to get on the sedan, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's too late, hurry up and leave."

Zhao Chuanxin can fight against a battalion of soldiers and horses by himself. They are not enough people on the bridge to fill his teeth.

Although Yuan Datou was also a warrior in the Huai Army, he fought in wars, and even had a story with the North Korean beauty Min Concubine when he was stationed in North Korea.

But he is self-aware. Not to mention that he is no longer as brave as he was in his old age. Even if he faced Zhao Chuanxin at his peak, he would still be far from his opponent.

It's better to leave first at this time.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang stamped his feet: "If you can support him, what should he do?"

Yes, Aixinjueluo Zaizhen was messy and helpless on the boat. He was covering his back pitifully with his backhand. The wounds were not big, but blood kept pouring out.

Maybe it was because of the excessive bleeding that his fat face turned pale.

It seemed that he noticed that everyone was about to leave, and he stretched out his hands to grab the air in vain, trying to retain them, but the boat drifted further and further away without being controlled, and the shouts could not be heard clearly.

"..." Yuan Datou gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pick up the prince later, let's go first!"

At this time, five steamboats had approached the pontoon, forming a fan-like siege.

However, they were surrounded but could not see the shadow of the enemy.

It is said to be a steamboat, but it still has a wooden hull.

Suddenly, a marine policeman stumbled and felt unbalanced.

He was surprised: "Why did the boat tilt? Oops, my lord, the boat is going to sink!"

As he spoke, the ship swerved rapidly, and the speed became faster and faster.

The same was true for another steamer twenty meters away.

The other three steamboats felt bad when they saw this.

A water policeman shouted: "It seems to be underwater, there is something under the water!"

"Can't you see?"

"Get back quickly!"

"It's too late, I feel like our ship is also tilting..."

Under the water, Zhao Chuanxin just used an elf carving knife to cut through one side of the hull, making a large rectangular hole underneath. In order to prevent water leakage, several areas are actually divided below. This can ensure that the boat will not sink immediately after a water leakage, and there will be enough time to repair the leaks.

But after Zhao Chuanxin penetrated the outside, he drilled directly in and completely penetrated the inside. The river water immediately poured into the bottom warehouse, making it impossible to repair the situation.

The last steamer wanted to run.

How could Zhao Chuanxin let him run away?

He used to have a phobia of the deep sea, but later he deliberately trained on Hong Kong Island to overcome his fear. Once you understand that you are the underwater king, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It’s other aquatic tribes that should be afraid!

On the pontoon, Yuan Datou and others, who were about to walk ashore, noticed something strange about the water police steamer. They couldn't help but stop in astonishment and watched the last steamboat slowly sink into the river.

The water policemen above fell into the water like dumplings, and there were even water policemen who did not know how to swim and kept flopping in the water.

The marine policeman finally failed and began to sink.

Suddenly, he felt something holding him up, and his head floated to the surface again.

Next to it, a head emerged from the water.

"ah……"

The water policeman was so frightened that he shouted.

"Shut up, what are you yelling for?"

"伱, you, you are Zhao Chuanxin!"

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his arm with one hand and made the marine policeman float steadily on the water.

"Now relax and try your best to maintain your balance. Paddle your feet slowly in the water. Spread your hands and move them like a goose. I'm going to let go. If I sink again, I'll drown you."

The marine police complied with the instructions and actually did not continue to sink.

Thanks to the relatively gentle water in this section, if a person can remain calm and maintain a slightly backward posture in the water, they will not sink even if they don't move.

The Marine Police no longer had the danger of sinking into the river, so they couldn't help but ask: "Zhao, Zhao, Mr. Zhao, why did you save me?"

"I heard that you marine policemen can sometimes do some human things, so I will let you go today. Go back and tell all the marine policemen that if you encounter Zhao in the future, you will hide away. The superior has given an order, and you will not do anything when you see me." You have to muddle along. I won’t argue with you today. If there is another time, Zhao will kill you without mercy!"

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will bring you your message. Thank you very much for not killing me today!"

But Zhao Chuanxin had already gotten into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When it emerged again, it was already close to the shore.

The Marine Police were shocked. In all the years of working as Marine Police, it was unheard of for someone like Zhao Chuanxin to be as good at water as a fish.

Just like that, you still want to arrest someone?

Isn't it a fantasy?

Previously, the Beiyang soldiers deployed by Yuan Datou were not on the shore for fear of alerting the enemy.

So, when they first landed, no one came to pick them up.

Everyone was in a daze because of the sudden change of the steamboat.

There was a roar on the surface of the water, and a figure shot up into the sky like a cannonball. Large splashes of water swept out and splashed on everyone's heads and faces, looking very embarrassed.

But Zhao Chuanxin, who landed on the ground, did not touch any water.

In the distance, a large group of Beiyang soldiers secretly arrived belatedly. Zhao Chuanxin discovered that they did not bring cannons this time, but instead brought Maxim heavy machine guns...

Have you become smarter?

It was embarrassing at this time. Although the Beiyang soldiers were coming, they were still far away.

But Zhao Chuanxin was very close at hand.

Yuan Datou searched around and took out a mirror box from his body.

Zhao Chuanxin had an extra horse poker in his hand, but he could load it faster with one hand than Yuan Datou with both hands.

Click,

The pistol was loaded, and the second shot hit Yuan Datou's head first.

"You can't even do it with this speed."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him with a smile and casually snatched the mirror box from his hand: "Don't touch it. Zhao's hands never allow others to show off. I can't control this hand."

"Don't act rashly. I advise you to stop. You are already surrounded by my people."

Yuan Datou pretended to be calm.

"Wrong!" Zhao Chuanxin corrected seriously: "It should be, stop it, Akai, it's all Captain Zhao outside!"

"..."

Yuan Datou felt that he was dealing with a madman.

Don't be afraid of arrogance or violence, just be afraid of madness.

He was worried whether Zhao Chuanxin would take the shot at the next moment. Considering Zhao Chuanxin's previous performance, this was entirely possible.

His worries were justified. At that moment, murderous intent flashed through Zhao Chuanxin's heart.

My hand was almost ready to pull the trigger.

Yuan Datou also saw this hint of murderous intent, and his hands and feet suddenly became cold.

But immediately, Zhao Chuanxin remembered some of Li Guangzong's analysis when he and Li Guangzong were discussing the future situation.

If you kill this person now, what will happen in the future?

Those people will rebel in advance.

The Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty could not defeat the WUC Army, and the WUC Army certainly could not defeat the Six Beiyang Towns as mobile troops.

Although three towns in Wuhan can be captured, the six towns in Beiyang will also be exhausted running around putting out fires, and the seeds of these soldiers will be exhausted as they run around.

The Qing government will definitely lose control of the whole country, and there are few options left. The most effective thing is to encourage local team training like it did with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It doesn't even need to encourage local groups to start developing on their own, because they can't control it.

But the result will definitely be different from that of the Taiping Rebellion, because the Qing government has lost control of the local area at this time, so a situation similar to that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty will occur - wars are everywhere, and warlord separatism comes early.

With the participation of the great powers, Zhao Chuanxin instantly understood that there was not much he and Lugang Town could do.

I really don't have the ability to stabilize the situation.

This is not something that can be achieved by bragging or whims. No one can really stand out without five or ten years of melee. That is no longer something that can be solved by just having money.

After coming out, there are more troubles.

In the flash of lightning, Zhao Chuanxin thought a lot.

I experienced the burial, destruction, farewell and choice of iron and blood in my heart.

I ran through the future in my mind.

But Zhao Chuanxin's face looked like he was fine.

He stepped forward with a smile and patted Yuan Datou on the shoulder: "Governor Yuan is very majestic. I heard that you want to arrest me?"

Yuan Datou's body stiffened: "If you have something to say, we can take a step to talk."

He was really scared.

He believed that he was on the verge of death, but for some unknown reason Zhao Chuanxin did not take action in the end.

This time, he finally knew what kind of existence Wang Zhanyuan, who was punished by him, was facing.

This sense of oppression is too strong!

Looking at the Beiyang soldiers who had pointed their guns at this side from a distance, Yuan Datou felt no sense of security.

After seeing Zhao Chuanxin's ability to appear and disappear underwater, he knew that there was nothing he could do about him on the pontoon.

What's more, the Beiyang soldiers on the shore did not dare to do anything to Zhao Chuanxin.

Hearing that he wanted to take a step to speak, Zhao Chuanxin pushed him forward a few steps, and at the same time warned the others: "Don't move, Zhao's marksmanship is no joke, both within seven steps and seven steps away." It’s accurate and fast.”

Everyone, including Aixinjueluo Yikuang, really didn't dare to make any changes.

"Captain Zhao, you have already received the money, how about letting this matter go?"

"It was possible, but you still want to trick me. How do you settle the score?"

Sweat broke out on Yuan Datou's forehead: "This matter is an order from the Queen Mother, and I dare not disobey it. Even if you kill me today, the Queen Mother will still not let you go. The root cause is not on me, Captain Zhao understands me What do you mean?"

Zhao Chuanxin laughed when he heard this, took out paper and pen, and wrote: Yuan Weiting claimed that the root cause could be solved by letting Zhao take revenge on Cixi.

Then he happily handed over the paper and pen: "Here, sign your name and fingerprint."

When Yuan Datou saw it, he immediately shook his head: "Yuan will never sign it! Moreover, this is definitely not my intention. This is your own treasonous idea."

"What? Not signing? Are you questioning Zhao Chuanxin's method of convincing people with virtue, right?" Zhao Chuanxin moved the muzzle of his gun downwards and gestured between his knees: "Say, you want to lame your left Leg or right leg?”

Not killing him doesn't mean you can't make him lame.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Datou saw a smile on Zhao Chuanxin's face, but a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He didn't want to be lame.

He took the pen and paper and signed his name while saying, "I hope Captain Zhao is a man of his word."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, my character is guaranteed, unlike you who go back on my word. Don't just sign, write the time as well, use the Western calendar."

"..."

Are you so considerate?

After signing his name, Yuan Datou felt aggrieved that he had accepted the certificate of submission.

Zhao Chuanxin folded the paper and put it away.

"Then, Governor Yuan, not only do you have to withdraw your troops, but you are also not allowed to interfere when Zhao is walking in Tianjin City. Tell your people to go around me when they see me in the future. Can this be done?"

"The former is possible, but the latter is not. Otherwise, where is the prestige of my governor? Moreover, even if I help you in Tianjin City, once you leave Tianjin City, I cannot guarantee who the Queen Mother will send to capture you."

Started to get Joe again.

But this time Zhao Chuanxin did not force him: "Then you don't have to worry about it."

Yuan Datou thought that this man was a scourge, so he had to think of a way. Even if he couldn't be caught, he had to get out of here and let others have a headache.

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly struck him: "Captain Zhao, do you think you don't know some things outside the customs?"

Not to mention, Zhao Chuanxin has been thinking about Jiandao's affairs.

The channels through which he could get information were limited to newspapers, but the newspapers only contained a few words and were not very detailed.

"What's up?"

"Xu Buwu called and claimed that Japan Co., Ltd. has set up offices everywhere on the South Manchuria Railway, collects intelligence unscrupulously, and has many conflicts with a recently rising force called the Backwater Army. Zhao Zhongyi of Lugang Town said that anyone who dares to He has set up an office within a radius of 150 miles in Lugang Town, and he will pursue it to the end. Now that Japan-Russia relations have eased, isn't Captain Zhao worried that such tough dialogue will cause resistance from the Japanese?"

Yuan Datou hated the Japanese, which was very similar to Zhao Chuanxin.

But the source of the hatred is completely different.

A large part of the reason why Yuan Datou hated the Japanese had something to do with his affair with Concubine Min of North Korea.

In the last century, Concubine Min, later Empress Mingcheng, initially became close to the Japanese. But later in the process of fighting for power, he tended to be close to the Qing court.

The Japanese regarded her as a thorn in their side and killed her shortly after during the "Otomi Incident".

An old lover was killed by the Japanese, and Yuan Datou hated the Japanese.

Of course, no one else can prove this except the person involved.

In short, he thought that he could warn Zhao Chuanxin and ask him to get out quickly, and he could also sow discord between Zhao Chuanxin and the Japanese, making them dog-eat-dog. This is what Yuan Datou would like to see happen.

That's it?

Zhao Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the war between Lugang Town and the Japanese was not officially started. I was shocked."

He knows that although Japan is currently making further progress, there is still some time before it can truly expand unscrupulously.

After all, they have only reached a preliminary agreement with Russia, and further formal agreements need to be signed.

Yuan Datou's eyelids jumped after hearing his words.

This man is really crazy and seems to be ready to officially start a war with the Japanese at any time?

It’s hard to imagine where he got the courage!

"So, Captain Zhao, can we leave?"

"Okay, I think you should go rescue His Highness the Crown Prince first. Poor Crown Prince, you are so involved by Yuan Weiting. As a minister, you really shouldn't do it."

Zhao Chuanxin deliberately spoke loudly this time so that Aixinjueluo Yikuang, who was not far away, could hear him.

And Aixinjueluo Yikuang also looked over cooperatively.

Yuan Datou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Don't talk nonsense. What does it have to do with me?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not explain, he laughed twice and suddenly jumped into the Haihe River.

Only ripples spread out, and his figure was never seen again.

Marine policemen surrounded the boat and pushed Aixinjueluo Zaizhen to the pontoon.

Then someone used a rope to pull him up.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang stepped forward and looked at his extremely miserable son with distress: "Quick, quick, help him get into the sedan and take him to the doctor!"

He no longer sits in the sedan chair.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen looked pale and mournful: "Father, my back hurts..."

"Just bear with it a little longer. I heard that Western medicine has medicines that can relieve pain quickly. Just bear with it a little longer and you'll be fine."

When Aixinjueluo Zaizhen got on the sedan, Yikuang said to Yuan Datou: "Weiting, hurry up and send someone down to salvage my king's silver..."

"..."

At this time, money was not forgotten, and his greed and despicableness made Yuan Datou begin to despise him.

However, face still has to be given.

I quickly sent someone with good water quality and tied a rope to go down to investigate first.

When the people came up, they said: "Go back to the prince, go back to the governor, there is nothing down there!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The silver must still be down there. Find dozens of good water-resistant ones for me, and let's go fishing together!"

…

Zhao Chuanxin found a hotel to stay in near the Italian Concession.

After a day of rest, I got up the next morning, washed myself, and went out in a big way.

The Italian Concession faces Haihe River in the south.

When Zhao Chuanxin went out, he saw the marine police.

However, when the marine police saw him from a distance, he turned around and ran away, not forgetting to drag his companions along with him.

The boatman on the inspected ship was very confused. What happened?

Seen a ghost in broad daylight?

The corner of Zhao Chuanxin's mouth rose, thinking that there are still many people in this world who are aware of current affairs.

Not only the Marine Police, but Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have some magical power. When he walked out of the rental area and got into a rickshaw, a patrolman passing by also turned around and ran away when he saw him.

Zhao · Jingjie · Pass the salary!

The rickshaw driver threw the rag over his shoulder and scratched his head: "What happened today? This is the first time a cat has seen a mouse running away."

Patrolmen are usually the most local of local snakes.

Traffickers and lackeys are like mice; patrolmen are like cats.

Usually the mouse shrinks when it sees the cat, but today it seems to be the other way around.

The driver thought the policeman had seen him and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Take me to the model prison. If you dare to kill someone and break your legs, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

"Look what you said, I don't dare to rip off customers. A few days ago, there was a fellow thief who was lucky enough not to have someone take a gun and kill him. It was near the Model Prison."

"..."

This place is far, far away from the Model Prison. The coachman ran for most of the way and was so tired that he was out of breath. Zhao Chuanxin couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"Master, sit aside and rest for a while. Don't be in a hurry."

The coachman was also very tired. He smiled dryly and said, "It's really not close, so please bear with me. I'll take you to sit on the steps in front of Peiyang University for a while."

Just, when the rickshaw stopped at the gate of Peiyang University.

A dry old man in a long gown saw Zhao Chuanxin and was immediately excited. He trotted over and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, I've had a hard time looking for you..."

There are some people that I won’t hesitate to talk about you.

Unshakable voting every day.

That's right, I'm talking about you - Xiao Baiyi

Ha ha.

Thanks to the many readers who have followed me from the stage when there was only a few people around to the stage where there is a huge crowd. Xiao Baiyi is just one of them, I remember all your names, because you can see the calluses with your eyes haha, such as Danone Panda, Lu Ye, Emperor Bear, Love to Drink Coke, Sunny Day Give, Feitianyeyu and many all-digital books Friends, etc... thank you for having me.
