The Mage in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 935 We Were Just Joking Before, Right?

Zhao Chuanxin asked with interest: "Oh? Why don't you provoke them? Will I scare them?"

"..."Aguire Ida was speechless for a moment and said: "On the contrary, sir, I think they will scare you. No, not only scare you, they will be real bad guys."

"Bad guys?" Zhao Chuanxin showed joy on his face: "I'm looking for bad guys. Hu Wenxiao, go and call the Gomez brothers."

"..."

Juvencio Torique didn't move. The shepherd boy Aguire Ida said: "Urquidi Gomez went out to work for Master Torique, and I don't know where Nachito Gomez went to fool around. It seems that the tenant Villa Galvez is looking after Nachito's house. I will help you call him."

He asked Juvencio Torique to help look after the sheep and ran back in a flash.

Villa Galvez is a skinny old man.

Zhao Chuanxin found that in this town, only Juvencio Torric was fat, and the rest were thin.

Villa Galvez rolled up his sleeves and hobbled over. He first glanced at Juvencio Torric, then looked Zhao Chuanxin up and down: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhao Chuanxin found that the little fat man was actually a little afraid of his old tenant.

Interesting.

He pointed to the white house behind him and said, "Can you make the decision? I want to buy this house."

Aguirre Ida's eyes were rolling around and watching the fun, while Juvencio Torric was still stupid.

Villa Galvez waved his hands quickly: "Sir, this house belongs to Nachito. He is a bad-tempered alcoholic. I dare not make the decision for him."

Zhao Chuanxin found that after he finished speaking, he looked at the little fat man Juvencio Torric strangely, and the little fat man shrank his neck and lowered his head.

Old Zhao was a master who was more clever than a monkey, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know where Nachito Gomez went?"

Villa Galvez looked a little unnatural: "Sir, I told you, he is a bad-tempered drunkard. Maybe he went to molest someone's widow, or went to another town to gamble with his friends. Who knows?"

As he was talking, dust was flying in the distance.

A group of knights came from the north, rushing around, making a mess, and shouting "Woo woo".

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the reactions of the three people again. Aguirre Ida still had the attitude of watching the fun and not caring about the bad guys. Juvencio Torick secretly looked at the tenant Villa Galvez, and Villa Galvez's face actually showed some fear.

Aguirre Ida said, "It's Urquidi Gomez who is back."

Urquidi Gomez? The eldest brother of the Gomez brothers?

Zhao Chuanxin found a stool to sit down, put his hands in his coat pockets and waited happily.

Soon, Urquidi Gomez and his group of knights approached the station.

Urquidi Gomez looked at Zhao Chuanxin, then at Villa Galvez, and suddenly changed his face, dismounted and whipped the old tenant fiercely.

"Who told you to bring outsiders to Nachito's house?"

"You damn dirty old man!"

Villa Galvez was beaten to the ground and begged for mercy.

Aguirre Ida retreated in fear, and then was kicked by Urquidi Gomez's men, but he dared not say a word.

Juvencio Torick was a little afraid of the old man Villa Galvez, but he dared to face the vicious Urquidi Gomez: "Urquidi, let him go, I order you to let poor Villa go."

The arrogant Urquidi Gomez immediately took up his post, his ferocious look had not yet subsided, but he was able to respectfully adjust his hat: "Okay, young master, I listen to you."

Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Chuanxin and said coldly: "Now, Asian, tell me why you are here."

This guy wanted to give Zhao Chuanxin a warning and let him know who is the boss here.

However, Zhao Chuanxin didn't care about their farce. He took out a cigarette and lit it, pointing to the white house and said: "I want your house."

"Why?" Urquidi Gomez thought that some victim of his brother's trouble had come to the door, but he didn't expect that he was here to buy a house.

Zhao Chuanxin blew a smoke ring, stood up and pointed at the dilapidated roof and said: "Look at this roof, how beautiful it is."

Pointing to the wall with potholes and straw sticks: "Look at this wall, it's as smooth as new."

Pointing to the courtyard full of garbage and rubble: "Look at this courtyard, how clean it is."

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and nodded, his expression full of satisfaction: "So, I want to buy it."

Everyone: "..."

Is this man afraid that he drank tequila soaked in datura flowers?

Urquidi Gomez scratched the sparse hair sticking to his scalp: "Are you sure? How much can you offer?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know the local prices: "You name the price."

In addition to being fierce, Urquidi Gomez's face also showed a hint of cunning: "I want 800 pesos."

Roughly equivalent to 285 US dollars.

114 gold marks.

What can this money do?

In London, this money can buy 4571 bread rolls.

In the United States, you can buy 1,300 ounces of the best Greif cigarettes.

In China, it is equivalent to 400 taels of silver. A family of four can eat for several years if they save a little on oil every meal.

It is enough to hire a killer to take a risk and kill a regular police officer in New York.

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "200 pesos."

"..."

I've seen people sit down and raise the price and then bargain on the spot, but I've never seen a knife so sharp.

Urquidy Gomez's face showed displeasure: "700 pesos, not a penny less."

Zhao Chuanxin held out three fingers: "300 pesos, not a penny more."

"Blanched, 650 pesos, foreigner, I warn you, this is the limit of what I can tolerate."

"I'm warning you, old hater, 350 pesos is really a lot for such a beautiful house."

"Damn it, 600 pesos, don't bargain with me anymore, otherwise you will know how powerful the Gomez brothers are."

"For 350 pesos, you will know the strength of Dragon Crossing the River."

"Huh?" Urquidi Gomez said in confusion: "Why don't you raise the price?"

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "You lower the price first, then I can raise the price."

Why does it feel wrong?

Urquidi Gomez's expression changed, and then he tentatively asked: "500 pesos?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay 351 pesos."

Everyone: "..."

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

He said angrily: "Damn foreigner, don't you know that such a price increase is unfair?"

Zhao Chuanxin came to the low wall, gently shook the piled stones, and when he pushed them, they fell over, and large chunks of mud fell out: "Look, such a strong wall is only worth 350 pesos. I can let it go You take away all the furniture inside, I don’t want any of it. To show my sincerity, when you come back from a long journey, I will give you 5 pesos to buy you some wine to relieve your fatigue.”

Urquidi Gomez's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Foreigner, 450 pesos, if you dare to bargain with me again, you won't be able to stay here, believe me."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the cigarette butt away: "Deal, make a contract, sign the contract."

Urquidi Gomez looked at Juvencio Toric and said, "Master, I need to see Mr. Toric. We need him as a notary."

Then he said to Zhao Chuanxian: "Foreigner, you still have to pay the extra 5 pesos you promised. This is the money you paid to buy peace in Quit Saran."

Juvencio Torric looked excited.

For some inexplicable reason, he liked the stranger who carved the wood for him very much and hoped that he could live here.

Urquidi Gomez asked one of his men to pass the horse to Zhao: "Follow me to Torik Manor."

Zhao Chuanxin got on his horse, and Urquidi Gomez hit the horse first and ran away at a gallop, as if he wanted to use this method to show his status.

He is quite confident in his riding skills.

After running for a certain distance, he turned his head slightly, only to find that Zhao Chuanxin was only two horse heads behind him, with ease and ease on his face.

Unconvinced, he accelerated again.

On the road, a chicken that came out to look for food in the morning was trampled to death by his horse.

But when he turned around, he found that Zhao Chuanxin was still grinning at him from a rough distance.

"..."

Soon we arrived at the manor.

Zhao Chuanxin reined in his horse and suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw the curtains of the second floor window of the villa were opened. Standing in front of the window was a beautiful middle-aged woman with her arms folded. She had a plump figure and could be seen from the front. The width of the butt shows the depth of the foundation.

The flesh under the layers of lace petticoats and silk vests swayed like dominoes that were not easy to fall apart.

But her waist is very thin.

Urquidi Gomez smiled obscenely, and then said fiercely: "Foreigner, take care of your eyes."

Zhao Chuanxin withdrew his gaze from the middle-aged beautiful woman and leaned on his horse to wait.

After a while, a servant came to invite you: "Master, let you go in."

Just entering the door is the living room. The floor is a beautiful wool carpet, and the room is filled with the smell of burning copal.

Camilo Toric, the father of the little fat Juvencio Toric, was sitting on a chair, tapping the armrests of the mahogany chair with his thick fingers, looking at everyone who came in with a sinister look.

Including Urquidi Gomez, his manor's thug.

"Sir, I would like to ask you to be the notary. I want to sell the house to this stranger." Urquidi Gomez took off his hat and put it on his chest and said respectfully.

Camilo Tolic nodded expressionlessly, picked up the pen and paper on the table next to him and started writing.

But no one was invited to sit down.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at the furnishings in the room.

Until Camilo Toric completed the simple contract and said in a deep voice: "You come here to sign and put your fingerprints, hand over the money with one hand and hand over the house with the other."

The golden mark bounced off Zhao Chuanxin's thumb, and landed accurately in the "dimple" formed between the middle finger and the index finger.

The gold almost blinded Urquidi Gomez.

He excitedly said to Camilo Gomez: "Master, I think building a house is the best investment. What do you think?"

Camilo Tolic glared at him and said coldly: "Unless you are sure that you can find a Chinese who is rich and easy to cheat every time."

These words startled Urquidi Gomez, and he looked warily at Zhao Chuanxin next to him: "Chinese, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked innocent: "I'm easy to fool, don't worry."

Urquidy Gomez: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his thumb, and each time a dozen gold marks popped up and fell neatly on the table, Chaoyang made sure to cover them with golden light.

The sound of splashing stirred everyone's minds.

Gold coins clattered non-stop, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Earlier, a beautiful middle-aged woman on the second floor walked downstairs.

Like a balsam in the wind, the whole plant is hairless, with thick stems, alternate leaves, oblanceolate, wide petals, spindle-shaped capsules, and round seeds.

Swaying in the wind.

She stared at Zhao Chuanxin, not taking the gold marks seriously at all.

Zhao Chuanxin kept thumbing and looked at her.

"Ignasia, go back upstairs, didn't you see the guests?" Camillo Torick said in a deep voice.

Ignasia ignored him, but her eyes wandered more unscrupulously on Zhao Chuanxin.

Looking at his tall figure, broad shoulders, thick beard and hair, she was curious about his pair of black eyes.

The sound of gold coins colliding with the table stopped.

Zhao Chuanxin retracted his gaze,

Ignasia spoke, her voice familiar: "Urquidi, Urquidi, I didn't expect that your simple head could make a lot of money."

Even if she glanced at him, Urquidi felt that his bones were full of bubbles, and his body was so light that he seemed to be flying.

He said with a trembling voice: "Miss Ignasia, how are you?"

Camilo Toric said coldly: "Urquidi, take your money and get out of here. If you keep staring at my sister, I will dig out your eyes and feed them to the dogs."

Urquidi Gomez hurriedly took off his clothes and put the gold mark on the table.

After that, he pulled Zhao Chuanxin: "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave quickly?"

"What's wrong with looking at it for a few times? I want to dig out your eyes, not mine." Zhao Chuanxin didn't care.

Camilo Toric: "..."

Urquidi Gomez: "..."

Ignasia covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Zhao Chuanxin provocatively.

Zhao Chuanxin grinned, his teeth were white, neat, and dense.

Old Zhao looked very ordinary.

However, his hairline was very low; his hair volume was dense; his eyebrows were sharp as swords; his eyes were not particularly big, but bright; his height was enough; his skin was super delicate.

Every part of him was very ordinary, but he didn't look so ordinary.

His temperament was always well controlled.

He picked up the contract, flipped it between his fingers and disappeared, put his hands in his pockets and left without looking back.

Unlike Urquidi Gomez who looked back from time to time.

After leaving the house, Urquidi Gomez called his men: "Let's go and move those cabinets out. We can't let the Chinese get away with it."

Then he rushed away and cleared out the white house.

After they left, the shepherd boy Aguirre Ida said, "Humph, Brother Gomez is stupid, he is not half as smart as me."

Juvencio Toric suddenly said a critical attack: "But you are afraid of him."

"Ah... tui!" Aguirre Ida was not convinced: "Just wait and see, young master, I will be stronger and smarter than them in the future. Don't you think so, foreigner?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded like pounding garlic: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, I saw that you have a full forehead and a square chin, and I knew that you have a unique foundation and will become a great man in the future."

Aguirre Ida was overjoyed by these words: "Foreigner You are very insightful. For this reason, I want to remind you that the Gomez brothers are bastards, complete bastards. You showed off your wealth today, they will not let you go, and will definitely come to extort more benefits from you. "

Juvencio Torick patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I won't let Urquidi and others take your money, definitely not."

Aguire Ida pouted: "You can't stay here forever, strangers will be left alone sooner or later. By the way, stranger, what's your name?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised the corner of his mouth: "My name is John Constantine!"

This is his backup alias after Ethan Zhao.

Just as he was about to speak, Xingyue reminded him: "Outside the trench south of Berlin, someone is looking for you with a white flag."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Aguille, when you are not herding sheep, help me clean up the debris in the yard."

Aguille Ida widened his eyes: "John Constantine, I didn't promise you anything. I am too busy with my own work."

Zhao Chuanxin threw a real: "Now?"

Aguille Ida's eyes lit up: "No problem now, sir."

Juvencio Toric, the stupid son of the landlord, volunteered: "Sir, I can help, and I don't charge a penny."

"Good boy, really good boy, the world needs people like you, the more the better." Zhao Chuanxin patted Juvencio Toric on the shoulder, then pointed to the south and said in surprise: "Look, what is that?"

The two were immediately attracted.

Aguilera Ida said in a tone of surprise: "It's just a small crested pheasant..."

But when he turned around, Zhao Chuanxin had disappeared.

...

Heinz Wilhelm Guderian held the bronze eye and looked out of the trench to see the man coming.

The man had white hair and beard but a strong body. Behind him was a soldier holding a white flag. He held his belt and shouted in a heavy and turbid voice: "I am Leopold Maximian, German Field Marshal. I am here to negotiate..."

After that, Leopold Maximian saw a size 43 leather shoe suddenly step into his sight.

Zhao Chuanxin appeared in front of him out of thin air, just as he disappeared out of thin air.

"Sir, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked back at him, did not answer, and walked towards Leopold Maximian.

"Ah, Leopold Maximian, I've heard of you for a long time." Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his pockets and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Leopold Maximian was somewhat proud and pretended to be surprised and asked: "Do you know me?"

After all, the man in front of him, some people called him a butcher, and some people called him a god of war.

Regardless of his position, Leopold Maximian admired this man who could make several countries itch and helpless.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Uh, I don't know."

Leopold Maximian: "..."

I don't know that you have heard of you for a long time.

He coughed, shook his beard and said: "The emperor wants to meet you formally and apologize to you."

"Well, well, you say, I'm listening, what trap is waiting for me this time?"

"Ah this..." Leopold Maximian was speechless for five seconds before speaking: "This is a serious meeting."

"Oh..." Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of understanding: "It was all a joke before, right?"

Zhuo...
