Chapter 70: Silent Night (Third Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Take North America as a fief!

As soon as this thought came to mind, in Zhu Mingzhong's mind, the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island immediately changed its appearance and turned into a huge bronze statue of horseback riding, and who was that bronze statue?

Isn't that me?

"What should New York be called? New Shanghai? Or ......"

Thinking of this, Zhu Mingzhong's face suddenly grinned, it was a smug and of course a somewhat satisfied smile.

"Okay, it's decided, when the world recovers in the future and is rewarded according to merit, I will ask Yongli to make North America a fiefdom......"

New Shanghai, New Yangzhou, New Changzhou, New Hangzhou......

Imagine that New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities in North America will become place names with Chinese characteristics, and that millions of Chinese will start a new life on the land of North America.

Zhu Mingzhong, who became in a comfortable mood, even couldn't help but smirk, he believed that all this was possible, after all, as long as the Manchu Qing could be driven from China to Siberia, then China would definitely not miss the opportunity of the so-called "civilized countries" to measure the world, South Seas, Australia, North America, and even Africa, these places will eventually be full of Chinese, and a piece of colonies belonging to the Chinese will appear in this world.

"What will the world be like then?"

Thinking like this in his heart, looking forward to this new future, Zhu Mingzhong was full of expectations for this future, so much so that when he left the experimental field, his steps seemed very brisk.

In the midnight office, it is quiet, and you can only listen to the crickets, because the room in the government office is extremely spacious, and in addition to the residence of the governor himself, it is also the residence of the officials in the office, so now there are also some subordinates in the government office who live in this office, and Shi Lei, who is Zhu Mingzhong's confidant, also lives in this house. When I walked along the garden, I saw that the small courtyard where Shi Lei lived was still lit.

"Hey, I haven't slept so late, let's talk to him!"

Seeing that Shi Lei's courtyard was still lit, Zhu Mingzhong walked straight over, and when he pushed the door open, the sound of metal hitting in the courtyard and the bursts of light drinks made him look through the crack in the door, and through the lights in the courtyard, he could see that Shi Lei was practicing knives with Shi Zhao.

This is the first time Zhu Mingzhong has seen the two of them practice martial arts, especially Shi Zhao, who looks soft and weak, delicate and beautiful on weekdays, but she can't help but slash at Shi Lei with the knife in her hand.

When the two met for the first time, although she was wearing men's clothes, Zhu Mingzhong could still see that she was a daughter, but the two had never met a few times, after all, most of the time, the two did not have the opportunity to meet.

"It's too slow, hurry up! Pay attention to the flaws......"

Shi Lei, who practiced with his daughter, was reprimanding while waiting for an opportunity to attack Shi Zhao, not caring that she was his daughter at all, as if he was an enemy of life and death.

"Remember, I'm not your father, I'm your enemy, your purpose is to kill me, hurry up and ......"

Listening to the roar in the courtyard, Zhu Mingzhong saw that Shi Zhao, who was already tired and panting, seemed to be exhausted, and at this moment, he saw Shi Lei suddenly slash towards Shi Zhao's neck, and just as the blade was about to cut her neck, the blade turned and the back of the knife slashed over.

"Ahh

The neck was blown by a knife, and Shi Zhao's throat let out a scream, and when the knife fell from his hand, the person covered his neck and squatted on the ground in pain.

"Daddy......"

Shi Zhao, who was cut to the neck, cried out, and when he was about to be coquettish, he only heard Shi Lei angrily scolding.

"Crying, crying and crying, if you touch the enemy, you will have died in Huangquan, in this troubled world, the stronger your martial arts, the more you can protect yourself......"

His father's reprimand made Shi Zhao have to cover his neck, suck back the tears with the pain, and replied in a muffled voice.

"My daughter knows!"

Everyone who is a young lady is a delicate and beautiful appearance, and she is cared for and cherished by her father, but what about Shi Zhao as a young lady of the Shi family? When he was five years old, he began to practice swordsmanship, squatting horses, and driving wooden stakes, and his whole body was sore and bruised every day. If it's just like that, it's okay, she still has to read books and practice calligraphy every day, and she is a little more tired than ordinary men in that day.

"Zhao'er, I know you are working hard, but now the world is like this, you are a daughter, and your father doesn't want you to be hurt because of this, but if you don't get hurt now, who will protect you when your father is not around in the future?"

Shi Lei, who put away the knife, comforted her like a father at this time.

"Dad, didn't you say that in this current situation, as long as it can be maintained, within ten years, the Qing prisoners will definitely be expelled from the customs? When the time comes, the world will be too peaceful, why does my daughter still need to practice martial arts to protect herself? ”

Although he knew that his father was for his own good, Shi Zhao couldn't help but complain to his father.

"You don't understand!"

Sighing, Shi Lei touched Shi Zhao's mind lovingly.

"You'll know later......"

When he said this, Shi Lei's tone seemed a little heavy, and that expression also seemed a little complicated, every time, every time, every time at this time, Shi Zhao knew that he shouldn't ask anymore, because in her father's eyes, she saw an unspeakable pain, and in the pain was more worry, even now.

Seeing that the two had already put away the knife, Zhu Mingzhong listened to the sound coming from the courtyard, and when he pushed the door open, he said with a smile.

"Miss Shi, Ling Zun hopes that you can control your own future, instead of marrying a man you have never met like other ordinary women, and then marry your husband and children and take housework as your companion......"

Although I don't know if this is Shi Lei's original intention, but in Zhu Mingzhong's opinion, perhaps, this is exactly what Shi Lei meant, and even for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong compared their father and daughter with "Wrestling! Dad" overlapped, in this era, let his daughter practice martial arts, how alternative this is, of course, Shi Lei's goal is not to let his daughter win the gold medal, but to let her daughter have the ability to protect herself. In other words, let the daughter have the ability to be independent.

The voice behind her made Shi Zhao's pretty eyebrows lock suddenly, and after turning around, and seeing that it was Zhu Mingzhong, she immediately thought of each other's shamelessness when the two met for the first time, and immediately reprimanded coquettishly.

"You have to take care of it!"

Shi Zhao's refutation made Zhu Mingzhong embarrassed, and Shi Lei hurriedly remedied on the side.

"Zhao'er, don't be rude."

Then he bowed again.

"Xiaguan see the scriptures!"
