The Mage in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 298 I Will Promise You the Title of King

Next, use double needle stitching and cross stitching to sew the leather to the fabric, which takes the most patience.

Ning An looked at it for a while and said, "Sir, let me give it a try. Just rest."

Zhao Chuanxin's biggest advantage is that he knows how to delegate authority in everything he does.

He can give a heavy responsibility to the snot-nosed baby that others worry about.

So he handed the material to Ning An: "Sew along the hole I made in a circle, and tighten the stitches at the end."

Ning An nodded. After taking it, he was a little unfamiliar at first, but became more and more proficient later.

Miao Cuihua glanced at her: "She is quite talented as a female worker."

Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "That's right, Ning'an is also a lady of our family."

Ning An blushed and didn't answer him. He was used to it, and his excuses were useless with Zhao Chuanxin.

The doubt in Aixinjueluo Zaitao's heart grew bigger and bigger, and finally he couldn't help but ask: "Captain Zhao, is this a man or a woman?"

To be honest, Aixinjueluo Zaitao is a little jealous.

Obviously, the plump, charming and beautiful woman seemed to have an affair with Zhao Chuanxin.

But this comely androgynous person has nothing to do with him.

That's not as good as...

Zhao Chuanxin burst into laughter.

Miao Cuihua couldn't help laughing.

A trace of anger flashed in Ning'an's eyes. He took out the rosary beads from his arms and raised one palm up: "I am Upasaka, the donor. I urge you to be compassionate, Amitabha."

The male lay practitioner is called Upasaka, and the female lay practitioner is called Upasika.

Aixinjueluo Zaitao secretly thought it was a pity.

Smiling, Zhao Chuanxin felt something was wrong and looked at Aixinjueluo Zaitao: "Do you recognize me?"

Aixinjueluo Zaitao said with a smile: "I once heard Governor Xu talking about Captain Zhao, and I didn't want to see each other on the train today."

Zhao Chuanxin had never seen Xu Shichang. He lay down on the seat and did not deny it: "Did the old man scold me?"

Aixinjueluo Zai Taoxin said: Xu Shichang cannot bear the consequences of scolding you.

Maybe yesterday would happen again and bombard the Governor's Palace.

"No, Governor Xu and I praised you, saying that you have the talent to save the world, the ability to run the army, and the military skills. It's a pity that you have not served the imperial court."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his thigh: "I have said long ago that Governor Xu has a sharp eye and has always been able to recognize people!"

"..." Aixinjueluo Zaitao felt that he still had to adapt to this person's style: "Captain Zhao, was that a staff and sword you just said? I once met a student named Li Jinglin at the Baoding Beiyang Army Crash Course. After Wudang swordsmanship, you can take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the opportunity, and strike out of thin air. It is really wonderful to use lightning to catch the clouds, and it is so amazing that the gods and ghosts cry. I wonder what swordsmanship Captain Zhao used?"

Sword Immortal Li Jinglin?

He must be quite young now.

Zhao Chuanxin was delighted: "My sword is a sword of greed for life and fear of death, and my fist is as timid as a rat's fist. This sword can open the gate of heaven and kill immortals. This fist can fight the emperor of heaven and push the nine states!"

Aixinjueluo Zaitao couldn't help laughing when he heard that he was talking about trains.

It turns out that the so-called God of War is not old and solemn, ferocious, but just a humorous young man, not much older than him.

He asked: "I am also good at martial arts and riding horses. Can you show me this sword?"

Zhao Chuanxin: "Absolutely not!"

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "What is your relationship with Aixinjueluo Zaizhen?"

"Cousins."

"What flag are you?"

"Zhenghuang!"

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed: "Why don't you worship me as your master, and I will teach you peerless swordsmanship. Even Li Jinglin, I guarantee that he will be defeated by you. Now kneel down and kowtow, and perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

Isn’t it time to collect all the Dragon Balls? Puyi and Cixi still need to kneel to him, maybe they can summon the dragon.

Aixinjueluo Zaitao was stunned.

His entourage said angrily: "How can I, a member of the royal family, kneel down to you as a commoner? How bold!"

After learning that this person was Zhao Chuanxin, Aixinjueluo Zaitao's mentality changed.

He knew very well what kind of virtue Zhao Chuanxin had. He was startled. He turned around and gave his attendant a gentle slap: "Shut up! Isn't it good to be alive?"

The follower received a slap, which was fine, but Aixinjueluo Zaitao was usually generous and rarely got angry. This time, he was a little confused and didn't know what he said wrong.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said, "Don't get excited. I'm used to convincing others with my virtue. I've never been embarrassed by anyone in my life. I dare to say today that in this carriage, speech is free."

Li Shutong blushed when he heard this.

Aixinjueluo Zaitao smiled awkwardly: "Captain Zhao, I have something to say today. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his brows: "Are you waiting for me to embolden you before you dare to speak?"

Zai Tao was speechless for a moment and then said:

"If in the future, there are no more wanted persons and no more constraints, will Captain Zhao be willing to serve the imperial court?"

What he said was very cryptic, but Zhao Chuanxin immediately understood that he was looking forward to Cixi's death.

"Hey..." Zhao Chuanxin looked up to the sky and sighed: "To be honest, considering the size of China, there is no place for Zhao. Zhao has already prepared to go to the ends of the earth to seek refuge. I only hope that you, the general who governs the country, will Don’t embarrass yourself with Zhao, otherwise Zhao will really make it difficult for you.”

After all, his true identity was revealed, and Zhao Chuanxin needed to give the Zhenguo general a beating.

Otherwise, after getting off the train, he went to file a complaint. Although Zhao Chuanxin was not afraid, he would still be in a lot of trouble.

"That won't happen." Aixinjueluo Zaitao promised, but he did not believe that Zhao Chuanxin, a bold character, would fly away because of fear of being wanted: "If that day comes, I hope Captain Zhao can consider my proposal today. "

Why does Aixinjueluo Zaitao dare to take over everything?

Because he is Guangxu's half-brother and Puyi is his nephew.

Anyone who understands can see clearly that the future of this person is limitless.

However, later Puyi wanted to be a traitor, so Aixinjueluo Zaitao broke with Puyi.

It was not until Puyi was imprisoned that he went to visit Puyi and reluctantly reconciled.

Banner people are also human beings, and they are also divided into good and bad, and they are also divided into moral superiority and inferiority.

The same cannot be said.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't know Aixinjueluo Zaitao very well, so he said indifferently: "When the time comes, you can also make me a king, or something like a general who governs the country, and I will promise you."

"Ah this..."

This is not something he can decide. Even if Cixi dies, those in the court will definitely not agree.

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips in disdain and said he was not even given the title of king. Do you think I just dismissed him casually?

He turned his head and saw that Ning An was self-taught using fancy hand-stitching in two-color alternating stitches to reinforce the elbows of the sleeves of his jacket.

"Damn it, are you going to renaissance? Do you want to do it in such a fancy way?"

Ning'an said aggrievedly: "If the leather is embedded here, the arm will definitely have difficulty moving. Sir, if you don't leave any dead space, I think splitting one piece and stacking it is the best way."

"You don't trust the people you employ, and you don't trust the people you suspect. You can continue." Zhao Chuanxin added: "If you can't sew well, I won't slap you."

Ning'an: "..."

This is a meticulous job, and the amount of work is not small.

By the time I got off the train, only part of it had been completed, and the pants hadn't even started yet.

Aixinjueluo Zaitao handed over to Zhao Chuanxin at the train station: "Captain Zhao, see you later."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Remember, don't reveal my affairs to others, or you will look good on me."

"Don't worry!"

Aixinjueluo Zaitao walks away,

The follower who was slapped asked: "Master Baylor, who is that man? You condescended to talk to him, but he looks arrogant?"

"Haha, I hit you for your own good. Come with me to the outside of the customs. Haven't you heard of the name of the God of War Zhao Chuanxin? Think carefully about the one who bombarded the Forbidden City."

He followed me and made a big mistake, and his face turned pale: "Is it him? He, he won't hold a grudge against me, right?"

"Don't worry, the matter is over. I believe he won't take it to heart. This person usually takes revenge on the spot if he has any grudges. He wants you to die at the third watch and will not keep you until the fifth watch."

"..."

After Zai Tao left, Miao Cuihua said: "This man actually has a good character and is quite magnanimous."

Zhao Chuanxin was noncommittal.

The Beijing-Fenghuang Railway runs all the way to Tianjin Weidong Station.

This is Li Shutong's territory, and he wants to take Ning An out to hire a rickshaw.

There were two of them in one car, Miao Cuihua herself in one, and Zhao Chuanxin on horseback.

Outside is the Haihe River.

The four went to the Lishunde Hotel on Victoria Road in the British Concession.

After entering, Ning An and Miao Cuihua's eyes widened.

The courteous waiters, the creaking wooden floors and intricate carpets, the magnificent chandeliers overhead, everything is so fresh.

Even Li Shutong, who comes from a wealthy family, has never stayed here, although this is considered a landmark building in Tianjin Wei.

But the history of Lishunde was at his fingertips, and he knew it like every family treasure.

He introduced to Miao Cuihua and Ning'an: "This hotel was built in the second year of Tongzhi by a British missionary named John Yinsend. He spent 600 taels of silver to rent land and built it. The lease period is 99 years, and every year The rent per mu was 1,500 copper dollars, which has not changed to this day. This has always been the highest-grade and most luxurious hotel in Tianjin. In the fifth year of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang hosted a banquet here for the then U.S. President Grant. In the seventh year of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang hosted a banquet here for King Karaka of Hawaii. Wa I..."

The waiter who received them couldn't help but marveled: "This gentleman knows a lot about the Lishunde Hotel, even more comprehensively than I do."

He said something and felt a sense of presence in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin was not new to the world. He immediately took out the tip and handed it to the waiter: "This is a tip, please take it."

The waiter felt that the weight in his hand was a little light. He looked down and saw two Guangxu Yuanbao copper coins made in GD Province.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was probably the ugliest tip he had received today.

As it happened, there was a foreign couple next to him who he also received. The foreigner gave him two small foreign dollars to make a judgment.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at the foreigner and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he didn't think much about it.

He said to Miao Cuihua and Ning An in a serious tone: "Today I am taking you to see the world, so I came to this rip-off restaurant. Otherwise, I will never spend this money. Let's just Staying for one night and leaving tomorrow is really heartbreaking."

Li Shutong had been a decent man for many years. Even if he had such thoughts, he shouldn't say them out loud, especially in front of the waiters. He couldn't help but blush and feel embarrassed.

Zhao Chuanxin glared at the waiter: "You've already taken the tip, why don't you hurry up and help carry your luggage?"

In fact, there is not much luggage, just two suitcases, and the rest are in Zhao Chuanxin's secret realm.
