In addition to being an explorer, Morrison is also the chief correspondent of The Times in Beijing.

He has a flexible head, knows how to follow the rules, and is extremely good at digging the inside story.

He suggested, "Daoist, tell me about your origins and why you became a monk. Is it because your family is poor that you chose this path? ”

Zhao Chuanxin said as he walked, without thinking, as if he was really recalling: "Oh, when I was a child, my family was not only rich, but also very happy. ”

Morrison's eyes lit up: "Did you fall into the middle of the family later?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Harm, not only did you not fall into the middle, but you are rich enough to rival the country." ”

Morrison was stunned.

You are so awesome, what kind of Taoist priest should you be?

He brushed his hair and drew two notes in his notebook: "Why did that Taoist become a monk?" ”

"I don't want to be a monk either!"

Mo Lixun's eyes lit up: "Could it be that all the people in the family are Taoists, forcing you to be a Taoist?" ”

In the West, family influence can, but forced belief will be condemned. Although there is no difference between the two, it is just a matter of standing and standing.

"That's not the case, just because the poor road is too handsome, and I want to marry the woman of the poor road, I went from Longyou to Turpan, and I was really distressed, so I went to the Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest."

"......" Mo Lixun didn't believe it, so he changed the subject: "Dao Chang Gui Geng? ”

"I can't remember clearly, forty or fifty years old, let alone fifty or sixty years old."

Mo Lixon grasped another key point: "Dao Chang looks like he is more than thirty years old at most, is it because of cultivation that he is always young?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "There is a way that time does not spare people, first of all, women are not spared; Opportunities don't wait for people, first of all, they don't wait for men. As a man, I naturally age slowly, but look around, who is not Yushu Linfeng? ”

Morrison looked left and right, regardless of men and women, Zhao Chuanxin could be called a standout.

He's a little crazy.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand: "Since the interview has begun, settle the payment first, Poor Dao does not accept installment payments." ”

Morrison smiled bitterly and took out six pieces of ocean.

Money can't be spent in vain, and he asked again: "The Taoist is considered to be born and cultivated, how do you think about the constitution of the imperial court?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin said lightly: "You know, many times, you have to work very hard, so that you can be sure that you are really powerless." ”

Finally, Morrison took out a valuable sentence from Zhao Chuanxin's mouth.

He seemed to have some special feelings for the Qing court, and sighed slightly after recording.

Zhao Chuanxin said that you really worshiped the wrong temple.

"Don't sigh because the Qing court doesn't establish a constitution." He said happily: "Because the Qing court is not just about constitutionalism. ”

"Forehead ......" Morrison came to China, and it was the first time he had spoken to someone so brain-burning.

The two of them walked north of the city as they spoke.

For Morrison said that Mahanda went to Manjing.

He didn't say what Luohan Da was doing in Manying, and Zhao Chuanxin didn't ask.

Zhao noticed that Morrison had a Webley revolver with him.

When he was about to arrive at the full camp, Mo Lixun asked: "Dao Chief, that day in Lanzhou City, did you use the spell of shrinking the ground into inches?" ”

"Not really." Zhao Chuanxin flatly denied: "I'm just taking a big step." Don't learn it, it's easy to get eggs! ”

Morrison finally collapsed, and he smiled bitterly: "Dao Chief, how many words are true and how many are false?" ”

"Haha......" Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "The big knows leisure, and the small knows leisure." Big words, small words Zhan Zhan. What is true or false? ”

The two of them have arrived at the full camp.

The Chinese call this Tuweizi, and the foreigners call it the castle.

When he came to the gate, Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand: "There are guards at the door, and we can't get in?" ”

Maybe he was secretly complaining that Zhao Chuanxin was fooling him with six pieces of ocean, Mo Lixun couldn't help but tease: "Didn't the Taoist chief say that you have a big step? You might as well step up to the city walls. ”

The rammed earth version of the city wall is 10 meters high, the side of the wall is one mile long, and each of the four corners has a positive quadrangular platform body corner pier.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "What you said makes sense." ”

He really strode forward, stepped three or five meters, charged to the side of the city wall, and jumped suddenly.

The berserk armor, the smart gyroscope, and Zhao Chuanxin's own strength actually made him really "step" to the city wall in one step.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and spread his hands: "I'm stepping up, what about you?" ”

Morrison was dumbfounded.

The "shrinking the land into inches" seen before is nothing compared with the current step to the city.

It's a fantasy.

The dissatisfaction that had just risen in Morrison's heart suddenly disappeared.

In the face of the unknown, he instinctively maintained a sense of awe.

He sneered, "Identify yourself, and they'll let me in." ”

Zhao Chuanxin listened, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Sure enough, not long after, a burly military attache came out with two foreigners to greet Morrisun.

Zhao Chuanxin also got off the city wall at this time and stood with Mo Lixun.

After introduction, two foreigners, one is the French scientist Paul Perriette, and the other is Mahanda with two beards on his lips.

And the sturdy military attache is the capital of the city, surnamed Yu, and they all call him Yu Dutong.

The Liangzhou Mancheng Metropolitan is actually a deputy position, but this position, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, has always been a gold-plated springboard for the Manchu aristocracy.

Zhao Chuanxin found that the surname Yu was very young.

After listening to Ma Handa's introduction to Morrisun, Yu Dutong said: "I sincerely invite all international friends to observe the drill soldiers. ”

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows, and interjected: "That's a good feeling, hurry up and take us to visit, another day international friends will come to attack Liangzhou, and I won't get lost when I lead the way." ”

As soon as these words came out, Paul Perriette was stunned, Morrison was embarrassed, and Mahanda's heart jumped violently.

What do you mean?

Yu Dutong frowned, his face was majestic, and he said in a deep voice: "Where did you come from, dare to make a big statement in front of Bendu?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in the wide sleeve robe, and said happily: "Poor Dao is your domestic friend, why does Yu Dutong only have international friends in his eyes?" ”

"You ......" Yu Dutong said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, can you be compared to your international friends?" ”

Morrison hurriedly tried to lighten the mood.

"What am I? Speaking out scares you to death. Zhao Chuanxin didn't give Morrison a chance, and took the lead in speaking: "There are many poor roads, when you lead the party, you will lead the true king; When he betrays the country, he calls for the elders of the traitor; When he worships foreign people, he licks the dog saint; When smoking tobacco soil, the number floats in the sky; When you dig out your mind and greed for ink, you can't call the empty mage...... I don't know what numbers are there? ”

Yu Dutong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Damn, this Taoist priest is damaged.

didn't say a single dirty word, but scolded him completely.

These Tao numbers, without exception, he was all recruited.

Looking at the sanctimonious people at this time, how many people are innocent? How many people lie down with guns?

For example, Li Zhongtang, who claimed to never set foot on Japanese soil, was finally found to have a huge amount of assets in Japan, and many people still whitewashed him as the "number one traitor".

He was extremely angry, and was speechless for a while by Zhao Chuanxin.

At this time, Mahanda said unhappily: "Morrison, your friend simply doesn't know what to say, and kindly invited you to visit, how can he talk to Yu Dutong like this?" ”

He speaks English.

Clinker Zhao Chuanxin squinted at him: "Hehe, you are so keen to visit the Qing soldiers training, it's a pity that you don't go to be a spy." ”

Mahanda opened his mouth, speechless in shock.

Isn't he a spy?

Of course, Zhao Chuanxin didn't know that he was a spy.

He just reminded Yu Dutong not to send information to foreigners like a second force.

If you run into a spy, isn't it tantamount to betraying the country?

And the French scientist Paul Perriet suddenly glanced at Mahanda suspiciously.

Mahanda was part of his expedition a year ago.

As his scientific expedition team investigated all the way from west to east, and now he was given a sentence by Zhao Chuanxin, he suddenly felt that many of Mahanda's behaviors along the way were indeed very suspicious, like a spy.

And Yu Du is in Mancheng, just like a soil emperor, he can be regarded as the commander of the military region.

He said angrily: "Someone, this official suspects that this way has ill intentions, and wants to spy on the military plane, take it immediately!" ”

In the city, there was a post at ten paces and a post at five paces, and immediately a soldier with a fast gun on his back trotted over.
