In Manchuria, the Karen soldiers deliberately took the captives around the city.

Hu Da said: "My lord, I dare to say that the Russians in the city must have taken in Russian soldiers. ”

"Take it in, take it in, there are only a few things we can do." Zhao Chuanxin rode on his horse and said indifferently: "Do you know how many soldiers Tsarist Russia can recruit if it really wants to go to war with the country?" ”

Hu Da was stunned: "Two hundred thousand? ”

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out five fingers.

Hu Da was stunned: "500,000? ”

The army of 500,000 in modern firearms warfare is already unimaginable, and the new army is only 60,000 or 70,000.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head and bared his teeth and smiled: "Five million." ”

"Hiss......"

Hu Da was stunned.

George Lynch next to him was equally shocked.

Isn't that a joke?

Zhao Chuanxin's body rose and fell with the back of the horse, lit a cigarette and said: "It's not good yet, they can recruit five million soldiers, but they can't produce enough weapons." As you can see, the Russians are obedient, and they are really typical of endless hardships as long as they are willing to endure hardships. But don't be afraid, most of the five million soldiers are farmers who go to war with guns. ”

Hu Dashen thought so.

No matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless to not have enough training.

It's all reserves.

The people in the city saw that the gray axe cavalry regiment had won, and that the autumn had not committed any crimes, and some people dared to go out to see the excitement.

There are Han people, there are Mongolians, and there are Russians.

"Look, the tall man on the horse is Zhao Chuanxin."

"Hey, you're so young, isn't it even thirty?"

"In ancient times, he was also a fierce general like Wei Qinghuo."

"They didn't think they were Mr. Zhao's opponents, Mr. Zhao fought a firearms war, and I heard that Maozi had 6,000 soldiers, and they were all defeated by him. You see, his soldiers are only a few hundred. ”

Zhao Chuanxin could hear the whispers of people on both sides of the street.

Suddenly he grinned and told George Lynch and Huda, "Stay away from me." ”

As a soldier, Hu Da naturally obeyed the order and stayed away immediately.

George Lynch wondered, "Why? ”

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin's upper body twisted.

Bang.

The Russian, who came out of a shop, held an old Bodan 1870 gun in his hand and fired a shot at Zhao Chuanxin.

Now George Lynch knows why.

Zhao Chuanxin dodged bullets, and every time he dodged first, the other party fired.

Otherwise, no one can move faster than the bullet.

George Lynch's scalp was numb and his body was frozen on horseback.

Growing so big, the first time he saw someone who could dodge bullets?

I've never heard of it.

The Han, Mongolian, Russian and other people in the city were even more dumbfounded.

There were already Karen soldiers jumping off their horses and knocking the Russian to the ground.

The Russians had big shoulders and round waists, and immediately struggled.

It was the Sauron man who was struggling with the Russians, and his fingers slammed into the other party's eyes.

"Ah......h

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "Playing around and picking your eyes!" ”

George Lynch: "......"

This is the ferocity of the Saurons, who have been dealing with wild beasts for many years.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked cigarette ashes, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't take the shot just now to heart at all.

And so it is.

He said, "Let him go." ”

Sauron let go and got up, the Russian's right eye was already bleeding, and his nose was also bleeding, which Sauron had smashed with his head.

The Russians are also very tough, getting up from the ground and picking up the old rifle.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the flying fish spine whip and hovered it above his head unhurriedly.

Pia……

The Russian stretched out his arm, and the Flying Fish Whip wrapped around his arm.

Zhao Chuanxin knocked the horse's belly lightly.

The hippopotamus accelerates.

Laugh at......

Sharp serrations strangulated the Russian's arm.

"Ah......h

Blind in one eye and broken in one hand, this man is considered a waste.

Let him live, live well after becoming a waste, and let him remember today's lesson for the rest of his life.

The eyelids of the people in the city jumped wildly.

What's it for? Why is it so sharp?

The blood stains on the Flying Fish's backbone whip spread throughout the whip, automatically shrinking, buzzing......

A mist of blood flicked up.

George Lynch choked on a violent cough: "Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Then he made a handful of faces, and saw that the palms of his hands were full of blood.

You don't have to look in the mirror to know that your face must be scary and bloody.

As if nothing had happened, Zhao Chuanxin put away the fish's backbone whip and continued to walk with a cigarette in his mouth.

There was a stone prison in Manchuria, which was built by the Russians.

After the parade, it was time to hold these captives.

Half of the captives were held, while the other half had to work, finding places to dig pits to bury the bodies and wash the floor.

Hu Da led the troops, and Zhao Chuanxin took a few soldiers of the Gray Axe Cavalry Regiment and George Lynch to the branch of the Dongqing Railway Company in the city.

There was a Russian in a suit and leather shoes in the room, who was packing up papers.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin enter the door, he suddenly raised his head, his body became stiff, and the expression on his face was tangled.

Zhao Chuanxin dragged a chair and sat down: "Report your name, position." ”

"I ......," Daniel hesitated.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”

Daniel's body trembled: "I am Daniel, the deputy general office of the Dongqing Railway Company. ”

Zhao Chuanxin tapped his fingers on his thighs: "In Manchuria, what other institutions do you have besides the military station?" ”

Daniel poured beans in a bamboo tube: "There are courts, prisons, civil affairs, police departments, ......"

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head: "Yang Sang'a, write down these departments and locations, and call them all away later." Later, Manchuria was recovered by the Yubin Prefecture, and Tsarist Russia was not allowed to set up any administrative units. ”

Yang Sang'a nodded and complied, awkwardly taking a fountain pen to write and draw.

He wasn't used to using a hard pen and didn't like to write from left to right.

But this is a request from public officials in the province of Hahama, and it is the first reform.

The hard pen is easy to carry, the writing speed is fast, and the ink from left to right can avoid the ink from drying the paper.

Daniel swallowed: "This...... Not good. ”

Zhao Chuanxin listened to Yile: "Not good? My words are the law here. ”

Zhao Chuanxin?

Daniel had a guess, but after Zhao Chuanxin admitted it, he still trembled.

Daniele thought about it and still had the courage to ask: "Mr. Zhao, other departments are driving away, what about our Dongqing Railway Company branch?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin knew at a glance that this person was very cunning: "You have to stay, stay and cooperate with our land port tax collection work." ”

Daniel did not continue to resist consciously, and nodded cooperatively: "It should be." ”

Zhao Chuanxin needs to lead the party, and he thinks that Daniel is quite suitable......

Zhao Chuanxin looked here: "Your branch of the Dongqing Railway Company can stay in Manchuria, but this place has been requisitioned by our Yubin Mansion. ”

Daniel's expression froze.

How so?

It first became the first station of the Dongqing Railway, and later gathered popularity and gradually became a town. Strictly speaking, Manchuria-Chali is a subsidiary of the Dongqing Railway Company, and it is provided free of charge by the official land.

Therefore, the Dongqing Railway Company occupies the most central and prosperous position here, and builds a house as a branch.

Daniel was embarrassed: "Mr. Zhao, I can't call the shots on this, I need the signature of our general office Horvat." ”

"How many signatures?" Zhao Chuanxin trampled the cigarette butt on the floor: "It was originally our land, and I can take it back if I want to." Let them use it for free for so many years, which is enough for the ticket price of the building itself. How many is Horvat, if he wants to sign, you can ask him if he dares to come and sign with me? ”

Daniel took two steps back and hung his head.

He was sure that Horvat would not dare to come.

Although it was requisitioned, the public officials of the province did not move in immediately.

Because there was still up to a division of the Tsarist army in the north, on the way to come.

If they are not solved, who will dare to come to work?

So this place has temporarily become Zhao Chuanxin's own office.

In the evening, Hu Da asked Zhao Chuanxin: "My lord, how do you fight with the Russian army that comes to help?" ”

"I expected them to be on horse, with the artillery behind." Zhao Chuanxin leaned back in his chair and looked at the military map on the wall and said, "Tomorrow we will go north and give them a head-on blow." ”

Hu Da thought about today's casualties, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, they have artillery this time, so they can't fight like this." ”

After a few beatings like this, the person is gone.

Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "They don't have guns, and they don't have guns." ”

In fact, they don't need them this time, but Zhao Chuanxin still wants them to watch the game with them, at least to increase their experience points.

After a small meeting, Zhao Chuanxin went to Dalai Lake.

The ethereal traveler entered the center of the lake.

Flipping through the "Code of the Old Gods", I just wanted to get sand.

[The mourning spirit said: Why do you always procrastinate?] 】

The Mourning Spirit is currently the only one who can perceive Zhao Chuanxin's refreshment of the Old God Codex...... Creature?

No one can tell what it is.

As the old saying goes, the world exists.

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: Wait, I'm busy with some things, I'll go online later.] 】

Taking the sand, he sank into the bone-chilling water.

This is the deep water.

As usual, build a base underneath, and the base needs to be thick enough.

A "big mouse" was lying on the water, startled by Zhao Chuanxin, who had just emerged, and immediately approached him.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look, this was an otter.

He touched the otter's belly, and the thing was not frightened.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored it and continued to dive underwater to build a house.

The walls need to be thick enough to resist penetration.

The inner walls needed to be extremely flat, which consumed a lot of his time.

The four walls just protruded from the water at a height of half a meter before stopping, and a thick one-piece fused silica glass was laid on the four stone walls to prevent water seepage.

Part of the wall protruding from the water surface is embedded with fused silica glass, and a glass passage and spiral staircase are deliberately made that extend downward.

Outside, there is an upward staircase that is horizontal to the surface of the lake.

Busy until midnight, Zhao Chuanxin pumped out.

The water swept away the dust left over from the construction of the wall.

The stone walls are thick enough to resist water pressure.

At this time, the width of the lake is about 17 kilometers, and the longest length is 34 kilometers.

Wait for the frozen lake next month to say another story, but a temporary emergency is enough.

He opened the vents and chimneys, and still built a fireplace.

When the flames rise, the warmth of the underwater hut rises.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a simple wooden bed from the secret realm, spread the futon and sat back and relax.

Lying on the bed, you can see the starry sky when you open your eyes.

He comfortably took out the Code of the Old Gods and opened it.

[The Sand Folk guides are more experienced than the caravans, and the routes they choose are absolutely safe. 】

[We walked for three days, and finally saw the towering city wall standing in the middle of the desert. 】

We were shocked by such a majestic desert miracle building. 】

[The sand folk guide said: The desert emperors of the past generations have built a city of runes and plundered the slime that exploited us, and they have to pay taxes and tribute to him every year. I'm not going to Rune's City, because the walls and the city are full of the Emperor's True Vision Crystal, and he's monitoring everything here. 】

[I heard a great grievance from the mouths of the sandmen. 】

[I asked him: The caravan leader said that the Desert Emperor was reckless, what is going on? 】

[The sandfolk guide said: Cursed the desert except death is poverty, he exploits us, there is oppression and resistance, and those who dare to resist are wiped out by his legion. He also expanded his territory outward, slaughtering the unsubservient and the desert nobles who had runes in their hands, trying to rob them of their runes and make them subservient. It's been 50 years in a row, and the conquest has continued. 】

Zhao Chuanxin saw that "I" didn't ask about the business for a long time, so he wrote:

[I asked: Do you think we can meet the Desert Emperor?] 】

I still need to get a third old sacred altar from the Desert Emperor.

[The sandman guide shakes his head: he won't see anyone, and the puppet will pass orders for him.] However, he monitors every corner of Runeterra. 】

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head.

That's fucking up.

[The guide of the sandmen said goodbye to us, and invited me to visit their tribe on the return trip when he left. 】

[The City of Runes has four gates: southeast, south, northwest, and north. 】

[There are equally tightly wrapped sand soldiers at the city gate, lazily leaning against the door and looking at everyone who enters and exits. 】

[We people who are obviously from a foreign country, they did not come forward to interrogate, and let us go straight into the city. 】

[I found that on the towering city wall, there were pillars standing every few hundred meters, and the top of the pillar was a pink crystal. 】

[The craftsman told me: This is the True Vision Crystal, and it is said that the rune mastered by the Desert Emperor is called the True Eye. 】

[I asked the craftsman: What exactly is a rune?] Is it a gemstone, or a regular stone, or a piece of wood, or a piece of paper, or worm silk? 】

[The craftsman shakes his head: Only everyone who has mastered the runes knows what the runes are, and they won't tell us.] Only rune fragments empowered by the rune master have value, otherwise they are ordinary worm silk. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I asked: So, what is the power of the rune fragments empowered by the Desert Emperor's True Eye Rune?] 】

[The craftsman pointed to the True Vision Crystals and puppet soldiers scattered all over the city and said: See, the True Eye Rune Fragments can make the eyes of puppets, and can install True Vision Crystals for the purpose of surveillance.] 】

Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved.

Are rune fragments equivalent to chips?

If you can make a monitor with a True Vision Crystal, how can the monitor view the screen?

Could it be that it is the Devil's Crystal?

Zhao Chuanxin remembered his broken devil crystal glasses, if he got the devil crystal here, he could ask the stranger to make him another pair of glasses.

He asks whatever he wants:

[I asked: How do monitors peep into the screen?] 】

[The craftsman shakes his head: I don't know.] 】

[Then he said excitedly: Rune City is a city of knowledge, a treasure house, I will study here, my dream is to become a third-order ninth-level craftsman.] 】

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and wrote:

[I said: Okay, you work hard, you have to have dreams, what if you succeed?] It's just that you don't even have a copper plate on you, where does the tuition come from? 】

【Craftsman: ......】

Rune's City is a miracle in the Cursed Desert, and its prosperity shocks us. 】

[Outside the city is an endless desert, but inside the city there is a cave. There are flowers and trees, drawn from the desert river, and the spring water gushing with a trap. 】

[Buildings with several floors can be seen everywhere, and the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, and there are a variety of goods inside. 】

[We entered a restaurant and ate a meal of Runeterra's special vegetables and meats, and the elf scouts were treated. 】

[I discussed with the elven scouts: Can you borrow some money?] Otherwise, we'll be sleeping on the streets tonight. 】

[The elven scout looks so distressed that he almost grits his teeth before agreeing to lend me two gold coins.] 】

Zhao Chuanxin said: "A handful of old live dogs, bad little things, you are really bad." ”

[The windows of the cursed desert are black and covered with translucent cloth, and although the sun is bright, all the shops need to be lit to illuminate them, and the craftsman says that the lamps are made from the grease of sea monsters and deep-sea giant fish brought from the Red Island. 】

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened.

Scald...... The business opportunity came.

He poured out the rest of the sand and made two pieces of glass and teleported it over.

He writes:

[I carry glass peddling, and each piece of glass costs twenty ...... No, fifty pieces of gold. 】

It is said that in the Kangxi period, the three-foot square glass was worth two houses, I don't know if it is true or not, but in the era of no glass, this thing was blind and asked for a few handfuls.

[I've never done any of these things, and I'm embarrassed to sell them on the streets. But the siblings volunteered, saying they could. 】

Zhao Chuanxin secretly scolded that there was no interest, what is there to be embarrassed about setting up a stall? Still reserved? Look at Lao Tzu.

He opened the channel of light and entered it.

Ooh......

The size of this city makes Zhao Chuan's salary staggering.

Bigger than any city on Earth.

The width of the street is comparable to that of the main roads of the first-tier cities of the 21st century, with a hard pavement made of slime mixed with sand in the middle of the uphill slope, and human-shaped stairs on either side that can match the width of a normal road.

With such a wide street, it is almost crowded with business travelers and pedestrians, which shows its prosperity.

The streets are lined with shade, and at every passing pass there is a fountain that flows out to water the vegetation. The rest of the water flows into a tank and I don't know where it goes.

In addition to the square buildings of Huang Bulaji, there are also a large number of tents on the side of the street, all of which are merchants setting up stalls.

Commodities range from daily necessities to food to weapons and equipment, books, vegetables, fruits, grains, clothes...... The whole nine yards.

Unknown insect shells and animal bones have been used here to embellish and decorate, or to be made into practical tools, or even into chests to hold items.

There was a huge skeleton of an unknown creature, at least five meters tall, with a flag depicting a giant black beetle on it.

In the distance, you can see a majestic tower standing in the middle of the Rune City, which is the emperor's palace.

The elevated canal that extends from the palace has a gurgling stream of water, irrigating the shells of giant beetles to create a dark and shiny hanging garden.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't smell it, but he could imagine that the Rune City must be filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

What a luxury!

The city can be said to be earthy, but it can also be said to be gorgeous.

The soil is because the buildings have no other color, and they are all made of yellow sand.

Gorgeous because even some aristocratic high-rise buildings are decorated with hanging gardens, and they are so colorful.

But for some reason, the windows of the palace are also black, but the top glass of some aristocratic high-rise buildings is made of crystal that is not very transparent.

There are too many good things, and Zhao Chuanxin's eyes are not enough.

It was as if it was a curse that the richest people in the desert were concentrated here.

He couldn't wait to take out a piece of cloth and put it on the ground, and put two pieces of glass on it: "Selling glass, opportunities don't come every day, when it's time to shoot, you will shoot, miss today's good opportunity, the price may be doubled." The windows are equipped with glass and smile every day, and today I missed it and there is no regret medicine......"

The brothers and sisters, the elven scouts, and the craftsmen all looked at Zhao Chuanxin in shock.

Even the mourning spirit whispered in Zhao Chuanxin's ear: "It's so shameful." ”

That's not to mention the rest of the streets.

In an instant, a large number of people came to see the excitement.

"What is glass? Is it some kind of crystal? ”

Zhao Chuanxin introduced: "Crystal is a fart!" Can crystals have this kind of transparency? You see, the glass is used as a window, which can not only block the wind and cold, but also prefer to be uninstalled, and the house is bright, isn't it fragrant to live in him? ”

"How much?"

"Fifty gold coins." Zhao Chuanxin lion opened his mouth widely.

"How much?"

"When the family buys the goods, fifty gold coins is not much. As long as you are willing to spend dozens of gold coins, you will bring the light home. Take a good look at the glass, it's an heirloom, and it's indispensable for the rich and noble......"
