"This style of rumor-mongering reminds me of a person."

Even if he was angry, Ito Hirobumi didn't jump three feet.

This is the castle that should be used as a Japanese expatriate.

Secretary Yasujiro Mori said, "Are you talking about Zhao Chuanxin?" ”

"No one but him would be so bad."

"Commander Hasegawa's physical condition is worrying, otherwise you will order ...... first"

Ito Hirobumi waved his hand: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek his own politics, and this precedent cannot be opened." The doctor poured wasabi soup on Commander Hasegawa, which stimulated his taste buds and sense of smell, and he was already feeling better and no longer vomiting. Maybe he will wake up tonight, and then I will consult with him again, and I will not be in a hurry. ”

Mori Taijiro said in his heart that this was not in a hurry, and he was already burning his eyebrows.

He said, "How can the chaos outside be calmed down?" ”

"There wasn't much chaos outside, but Li Wanyong's home was smashed.

Zhao Chuanxin is not a rumor, the things he said, in fact, we are already planning.

The question is, how did Zhao Chuanxin know? Or, as rumored, he can be regarded as unpredictable.

Or, there must be a spy sent by him between us.

I'm more inclined to the latter. ”

At this time, the attitude of countries around the world towards the intelligence services varied.

Some of them are very important, such as Japan.

Some are not taken seriously, such as the United States and Russia.

Yasujiro Mori didn't think about this at all, and after being reminded by Hirobumi Ito, he said in horror: "I have always felt that except for our Great Japanese Empire, no one else pays attention to intelligence work. Maybe it's dark under the lights. ”

Hirobumi Ito nodded.

"You go and arrange it, let the various departments investigate secretly, and you can't discourage the enthusiasm of the staff, you must do it quietly."

Mori Taijiro perked up: "Yes." ”

When he was leaving,

Hirobumi Ito stopped him: "By the way, Saito Kijiro and Shinoda Jisaku also went back, right?" Call them by the way and ask them to do the screening as well. ”

……

Yuka Naoko returned with Osakura Shinoda.

Shinoda made a lot of determination to mention the divorce to his wife.

The wife did not cry, make trouble and hang herself, she agreed very calmly.

This only made Shinoda even more uneasy.

The wife promised that she would not have to wait for him to go back, and that she would go through the divorce procedures alone. Her mother's family promised her that they would send her to study and live abroad.

The child was left in the care of Shinoda Jisaku's parents.

At this time, I'm afraid that my wife has already gone abroad, right?

Fortunately, Naoko Yuka's warm and clear smile gave him great comfort and filled a vacancy in his heart.

however

When they come back.

Naoko Yuka solemnly called him out.

Shinoda was full of anticipation.

This time I went to Seoul, although it didn't go very well, and there was a lot of chaos.

But the relationship between the two has progressed.

That's the only consolation.

Now that Naoko Yuka is so solemn, according to Japanese custom, Naoko Yuka should be going to give him an official answer.

The only thing that can heal the old feelings is the new ones.

At this time, the farmers in the Majima area had already put plough sticks on their cattle and horses and began to plough the ground.

Spring has fully begun, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees, mixed with the faint smell of cow and horse dung.

In this tranquil environment, Shinoda Jikei smiled with relief on his face, looked at Naoko Yuka, and waited for her next step.

Naoko Yuka brushed the hair in front of her forehead, but the spring breeze stubbornly blew her hair again.

This seems to be heralding something, but Shinoda Osake, who is on the brain of the sperm worm, doesn't perceive it.

Yuka Naoko bowed her head and poked the dried dirt with her toes.

"Shinoda-kun."

"Yuka, you say, I'll listen."

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about it and feeling very uneasy."

Shinoda chuckled in his heart.

That's when I had a bad premonition.

Yuka Naoko continued: "You called your wife and said that you wanted to divorce her. At first I was flattered and moved. However, if I want to destroy other people's marriages, I can't do it even after thinking about it. ”

"Yuka, you ......"

Shinoda is messy and dumbfounded.

Naoko Yuka said abruptly: "This kind of immoral love makes me toss and turn at night and can't sleep all night." I thought, I'm going to have to make a break. Shinoda-kun, I'm sorry, you forgot about me. ”

After saying that, she seemed to have made up a lot of determination, turned her head and left.

A bolt from the blue!

Shinoda Jisaku's eyes were black for a while, his steps staggered back, and he didn't have the strength to chase after Naoko Yuka, and watched her back disappear into the field.

He thought of his wife who went abroad, and thought of the sweet smile of Naoko Yuka, all of which were far away from him.

In addition, the recent work has not been smooth.

These blows made him angry, and he only felt that the sky was spinning and he turned his head and fell down......

The entourage was startled, the two of them were slimy during this time, and he was used to it.

Why did you suddenly fall unconscious?

When Shinoda opened his eyes again, he saw Saito Kijiro's concerned face.

He said bitterly, "Saito-kun......"

"Shinoda-kun, what's going on?"

"I, I ......"

There are some things he can't say.

It's a shame to be dumped by a woman.

Saito Kijiro seemed to understand something.

He stopped talking and changed his words: "Shinoda-kun, cheer up." We also have to build police stations, and we have to confront the backwater army. I heard that the Qing court was stimulated by Zhao Chuanxin, and in the Guangdong Machinery Bureau, the Madsen machine gun commonly used by Zhao Chuanxin was manufactured. They are all improving, and you and I are like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

Shinoda was so confused that he couldn't listen to it at all.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Saito-kun, you let me be quiet first." ”

Saito Jijiro frowned.

Damn, isn't this guy scrapped?

He remembered the message from the Seoul Unified Prison Office, asking him to investigate the internal spies.

If you think about it, it seems that that Naoko Yuka is quite suspicious.

She appeared suddenly, and since she appeared, everything has not gone well. Now, Shinoda Jiseki is being tormented by her again.

He got up and went out.

Then he said to his entourage, "Go and call that Naoko Yuka." ”

After waiting for the entourage to look around, he came back and replied: "Naoko Yuka is gone......"

"Yaga ......"

……

Cho Chuan-sun and Park Seung-yeol are wiping weapons.

Zhao Chuanxin gave Park Seungyeol a mirror box, and the snot bubbles of this beautiful product were about to come out.

Then, Zhao Chuanxin took out a bunch of light and heavy machine guns and rifles and asked this laborer to help maintain them.

Park Seung-yeol painstakingly cleaned up the water-cooled compartment of Makqin and oiled the gun.

"Mr. Zhao, these are all your usual weapons?"

"Yes, there will be two more cannons later, you can also take care of them, they are full of gunpowder residues."

“……”

Park Seungyeol really couldn't imagine how Cho Chuanxin carried such a heavy arsenal with him everywhere he went.

If it were him, even if he only had a Maxim, he would not be able to carry the large amount of ammunition he needed.

There are even two cannons?

Who has nothing to do with a cannon running around the world?

But it's a lot of work.

Zhao Chuanxin was not idle, and placed a column of horse cards and Mosin Nagant wheels neatly on the table, which were his jobs.

Park Seungyeol looked at those masturbations, and then looked at the mirror box on his waist, and suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

"Mr. Zhao, you have a lot of guns."

He said enviously.

Zhao Chuanxin quickly disassembled the gun, squinted at it, wiped it twice, and was relieved that he didn't see any residue.

He said: "Yes, many times I am distressed, these broken guns are not easy to use at critical times. ”

“……”

Are you sure it's the same thing?

Park Seungyeol was taken by Versailles.

He said sourly: "Mr. Zhao doesn't want it, you can give it to me." ”

"Hehe, Shenglie, you remember, a little forced in your heart, is the most basic quality of a person."

“……”

Park Seungyeol changed the topic: "Our Korean army is equipped with a variety of weapons. Japan, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States all have them. Mr. Zhao, which country do you think has better weapons? ”

South Korea once wanted to buy high-performance warships, but the Japanese blocked them from contacting European arms purchases, and even sent people to assassinate Lee Dong-in, Lee Hee's important minister for arms purchases.

However, Koreans are also known for being shameless, and they use various ways to sneak in with them.

But in the end, it failed, and I could only buy two British-made merchant ships from Little Japan and transform them into warships, so that I could use them for a while.

Zhao Chuanxin assembled the parts back, took a cigarette in his mouth and said lightly: "No country can do it." I had the butler set up a weapons company in the United States and hired the weapons designer John Moses Browning to help design some of the gun models I wanted. ”

I'm Cao ......

This time, it was really loaded by Zhao Chuanxin.

Park Seungyeol even stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhao Chuanxin blankly.

The country of Korea has to sneak around buying weapons. The Qing court had many military factories, but the performance of the weapons produced was still unsatisfactory to the great powers in all aspects, and there was a certain gap between them and the great powers.

But look at Zhao Chuanxin again, have they all started to play with weapon manufacturing in a private capacity?

He sneered, "Browning? The name is familiar. ”

"Hehe, Browning M1900, that is, the gun brand. Browning M1903 is a Continental brand. You've heard of that, right? ”

A flash of lightning crossed Park Seungyeol's mind.

Zhao Chuanxin put the gun away: "It's the designer who designed the gun card and the horse brand, the old boy has a lot of ideas, and he hit it off with me." ”

Park Seungyeol was completely convinced.

After a busy day, the two finally maintained Zhao Chuanxin's inventory.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The two of them are living in a temporary rented house, with only two rooms, and the rent is very cheap.

Park Seungyeol got up to open the door, and there was a snot baby with a dirty face standing outside the door.

The snot baby saw that it was Park Seungyeol who opened the door, so he stretched out his little head to look in.

After seeing Zhao Chuanxin, he couldn't help but smile: "Sir, that Li Wanyong is back." He temporarily went to the Japanese Unified Prison Office to avoid trouble, and no one dared to rush into the Unified Prison Mansion, and there was nothing he could do. ”

Zhao Chuanxin happily walked to the door, with five more five-cent copper coins of "six years of Guangwu" in his hand.

He handed the copper coin to the snot baby's hand, took out another piece of candy and stuffed it in his mouth, and patted his head: "Good job, this information is worth five big dollars." Let's go and find out, and report any situation in time. ”

"Yes, sir."

The snotty baby's face was full of excitement, and she turned around and ran away.

This is Zhao Chuanxin's "intelligence network" in Seoul.

He recruited dozens of snot babies and helped him collect intelligence everywhere day and night.

Some of them monitored the Japanese Unified Supervision Office, some monitored Li Wanyong, and some inquired about the gossip of the people on the streets.

Depending on the size of the intelligence, he will give different prices. If the information is insignificant, then stuff the sugar, which can also make the snot baby happy for a long time.

Park Seungyeol smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao, this kind of method can only be imagined by you." ”

"Hehe, never underestimate children."

Wherever he goes, there must be snot babies around him.

They are the ones who build houses, they are the ones who spread rumors, and they are the ones who gather intelligence.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Okay, the gun is also finished, you can rest." ”

Park Seungyeol was stunned: "Aren't we going to kill Lee?" ”

He felt more and more that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to break his word and gain weight.

"What's the hurry, I debunked the plan of action of the Japanese, and I guess they will jump over the wall in a hurry. Li Wanyong hasn't signed the treaty on behalf of your Korea, and he can't be killed yet. ”

Zhao Chuanxin took the money and did promise Li Xi to kill Li after it was done. But the question is, the parties didn't set a date, did they?

"What? He still dares to sign the Entente? ”

Park Seungyeol couldn't believe it.

If it was him, it had reached the point where everyone shouted and beat him, not only would he not sign it, but he would hide and quickly clarify himself.

"If you don't say you're just a big soldier, people cover the sky with one hand. His reputation is not just stinky on the first day, and the power in his hands is all obtained by the Japanese, how can he give up this opportunity? If I expected it to be true, he would not only want to sign, but he would also be in a hurry. ”

These words made Park Seungyeol uncomfortable.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that he seemed to have maggots on his body, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and report to your majesty." You tell Xiao Li that Zhao will kill Li completely, but you have to wait for him to sign the agreement. ”

Park Seung left in a hurry.

Zhao Chuanxin is not worried, because even if Li Xi knows that Li Wanyong is eager to behave in front of the Japanese, it will be too late.

Because Li Xi can't use Li Wan, he doesn't have the courage and strength.

As for the "Ding Wei Treaty", it must be signed.

If you don't sign it, South Korea won't be in chaos.

Instead of worrying about being tough with the Japanese in the Majima area, it would be better to let them set fire in their backyard.

Wait for Park Seungyeol to leave.

Zhao Chuanxin first put away the weapons all over the ground, then stretched his waist and went back to the bed to lie down.

Others are busy, but they are idle, this contrast will make people secretly poke and poke happiness.

So, he took out his diary and flipped through it.

[We finished walking around the altar of the old gods, and there was nothing worth stopping here. 】

[The little girl who was exploring in front of her, ran back and told me: Brave, there is a passage ahead, and I think it is connected to the cave on the left.] 】

Curious, I led the boy and girl to the front. 】

[There's a hole here that you have to crawl to get through.] Fortunately, the distance inside the cave was very short, and the uneasiness in my heart came and went quickly. 】

[It's just that when we got out of the passage, we saw that it was a sand river. 】

[I know a rough idea of some of the causes of sand formation, such as weathering of rocks, erosion by currents, and decomposition of corals by fish in the ocean. 】

[Only this underground cave does not have any of the above conditions, so where does the sand come from? 】

[The little girl looked up and said to me: Brave, there is also a painting above the cave. 】

[I looked up, and sure enough, the top of the cave was still the kind of villain painting with simple lines. The little boy and I couldn't read it, but the little girl seemed to have a talent for reading primitive paintings. 】

[The aftermath of these ancient legends has been passed on to this day, and under the interpretation of the little girl, let us who come after us understand the most glorious history of the ancient gods. 】

[The little girl said: In ancient times, the old gods had the power to shape the world.

Every handful of sand and gravel on the seabed is shaped into a reef that rises to the surface.

Every weathered sand dune in the desert has been reshaped into a peak.

On an ancient summer twilight, the weary Old Gods prepared to rest.

The tired old gods, before losing consciousness, left some of their shaping abilities in the world.

The dwarves did not value this ability, believing that the existing world was enough for them to survive.

As a result, the ability to shape the world gradually diminishes with the world.

Until the advent of humanity, a wise man sealed away what little power he had left. 】

Zhao Chuanxin scoffed.

Every race likes to exaggerate when it comes to shaping myths.

It may be that a certain group of big people, who follow the track of the sun every day, go out to hunt from sunrise to sunset, has been fabricated as a story of Kuafu's day by day.

Maybe there was a burly blacksmith striking iron during a thunderstorm, and he was lucky to survive with a hammer that led to thunder and lightning, so he became Thor, the god of thunder.

[The little girl's words stop, because there is no painting any further.] 】

[The little boy looked down and said to me: Brave, there are messy little footprints on the ground, and there must be Styx spirits here.] 】

[As he was talking, the sand river in front of him suddenly surged. Countless tiny heads emerged from the sand. 】

[I hurriedly reminded: You all hide behind me, it's the Styx Elves.] 】

[I think these Styx elves are hunting in ambush under the sand with weapons in hand, or maybe they are waiting for some kind of creature to pass by, and then attack by surprise.] 】

And we became the prey of the unsolicited delivery to their mouths. 】

[Whether the Styx elves appear as humans or animals, they attack us with impunity. 】

[I pull out my Madsen machine gun and shoot at them.] 】

[In order to let the little boy and the little girl have the ability to protect themselves, I also gave them two pistols and taught them how to use them while shooting. 】

[I led them backwards, using a narrow passage to reduce the shooting range and increase the effective damage. 】

[The most terrifying thing about the Styx Elves is their speed and their aggressiveness that is not afraid of death. 】

[Ahead, their corpses paved the road, but they still rushed forward one after another.] 】

[There is a fish that slipped through the net under the barrage, and stabbed my calf with a sharp weapon. 】

[Behind me, the little boy pulls the trigger of the pistol, and the bullet hits my thigh and shoots into the head of the Styx elf, shattering its head.] 】

[It seems that the first time he shoots, the little boy feels novel, keeps shooting, and it doesn't take long for the bullet to be empty, and he keeps pulling the trigger.] 】

[I told him: only 8 bullets.] 】

[The little boy snatched the gun from his sister's hand and helped me replenish my firepower.] 】

[We fight and retreat. 】

[I thought that the passage behind me was the exit, which would lead to the three forks in the road. 】

[But this is not the case, we have come to another dark and damp space that is different from the Sand River. 】

[In the center of the space, there is a strange cage made of rocks. 】

[The most peculiar thing is that this cage seems to be formed naturally, and there is no door. 】

[In the cage, there is an acquaintance who is the target of this trip - the goblin friend of the weird. 】

[The goblins also recognized me, and suddenly shouted to me: Be careful, there are guards here!] 】
