In addition to being an explorer, Morrison also served as the chief correspondent of The Times in Beijing.
He has a flexible mind, knows how to follow the lead, and is extremely good at digging out insider information.
He suggested, "Taoist Master, tell me about your background and the reason why you became a monk. Is it because your family is poor that you chose this path?"
Zhao Chuan Xin walked and talked, without thinking, as if he was really recalling, "Oh, when I was a child, my family was not only rich, but also very happy."
Morrisun's eyes lit up, "Did the family decline later?"
p>Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, "Not only did he fail, but he became rich enough to rival the country."
Morrisun was confused.
How can you be a Taoist priest if you are so awesome?
He smoothed his hair and made two notes in his notebook: "Why did the Taoist monk become a monk?"
"I don't want to become a monk either."
Morrisun's eyes lit up, "Could it be that everyone in your family is a Taoist, forcing you to become a Taoist priest?"
In the West, family influence is OK, but belief is forced , will be condemned. Although there is no difference between the two, they are both equal and independent.
"That's not the case. It's just that Pindao was too handsome. He wanted to marry Pindao's woman, so he moved from Longyou to Turpan. He was really distressed, so he went to a Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest."
""Morrisun didn't quite believe it, so he changed the subject to "Taoist Master Gui Geng"
"I can't remember clearly. I don't talk about those in their forties or fifties. There are people in their fifties and sixties."< /p>
Morrison grasped another key point: "The Taoist priest seems to be in his thirties at most. Is it because of his cultivation that he will stay young forever?"
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, "You have the Tao." , Time waits for no one, first of all, women; opportunities wait for no one, first of all, men. As a man, I naturally age slower, but look around, who is not a beautiful tree in the wind?"
< p>Morrison looked around and saw that regardless of men or women, Zhao Chuanxin stood out from the crowd.He was a little crazy.
At this time, Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand, "Since the interview has already begun, let's settle the payment first. Pindao does not accept installment payments."
Morrisun smiled bitterly and took out six An ocean.
Money should not be wasted. He asked again, "Taoist priest is considered to be a spiritual practitioner. How does he view the establishment of a constitution for the imperial court?"
Zhao Chuanxin said calmly, "You know, many times, you have to Only by working very hard can I be convinced that I am really powerless.”
Finally, Morrison said something that sounded valuable to Zhao Chuanxin.
He seemed to have some special feelings for the Qing court, and sighed slightly after recording.
Zhao Chuanxin said that you really went to the wrong temple.
"Don't sigh because the Qing court did not establish a constitution." He said cheerfully, "Because the Qing court did not just establish a constitution."
"Uh" Mo Li Xunzi came to China, and it was the first time that talking to someone so intensely burned my brain cells.
The two of them walked towards the north of the city while talking.
Because Morrison said that, Mahanda went to Man camp.
He didn’t say what Luo Handa was doing in Manying, and Zhao Chuanxin didn’t ask either.
Zhao Chuanxin noticed that Morrison was carrying a Webley revolver.
When he was about to arrive at the camp, Mo Lixun asked, "Taoist Master, did you use the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch that day in Lanzhou City?"
"That's not the case. "Zhao Chuanxin denied, "I'm just taking a big step. Don't imitate it, it's easy to get yourself into trouble."
Morrison finally broke down, and he smiled bitterly, "Taoist Master, what are you saying? "A few words are true and false"
"Haha" Zhao Chuanxin is happy, "The great knowledge is idle, the small knowledge is idle. Big words are arrogant, but small words are full of truth."
The two of them have arrived at Man Camp.
Chinese people call this Tuweizi, and foreigners call it Castle.
When he came to the gate, Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back, "There are guards at the door, and we can't get in."
Maybe he was secretly complaining that Zhao Chuanxin had fooled him with his nonsense. A huge ocean, Morrison couldn't help teasing, "Didn't the Taoist Master say that you have a big step? You might as well step up to the city wall."
The city wall built with rammed earth is 10 meters high. The side of the ground is one mile long, and the corner piers of the platform body each have a regular square edge.
Zhao Chuanxin nodded, "What you said makes sense."
As expected, he took a big step, stepped on the meter, charged to the city wall, and jumped up suddenly.
The violent armor, smart gyroscope, and Zhao Chuanxin's own strength actually allowed him to actually "step" to the city wall in one step.
Zhao Chuanxin turned around and spread his hands, "I'm coming up, what about you?"
Mo Lixun was dumbfounded.
The "shrinking of the ground into an inch" that I saw before is nothing compared to the current step up to the top of the city.
This is simply a fantasy.
The dissatisfaction that had just arisen in Morrison's heart suddenly disappeared.
Facing the unknown, he instinctively maintained awe.
He said nonchalantly, "Show me your identity and they will let me in."
After hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin frowned slightly.
Sure enough, not long after, a burly military attache and two foreigners came out to greet Morrison.
Zhao Chuanxin also got off the city wall at this time and stood with Morrison.
After introduction, the two foreigners were introduced, one was the French scientist Paul Perriert, and the other with two mustaches on his lips was Mahanda.
The sturdy military attache is the Dutong of the whole city, his surname is Yu, and they all call him Yu Dutong.
Liangzhou Mancheng Dutong was actually a deputy position, but this position, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, had always been a gilded springboard for the Manchu nobles.
Zhao Chuanxin discovered that the person named Yu was very young.
After listening to Mahanda's introduction to Morrison, Yu Dutong said, "We sincerely invite all international friends to observe the training of soldiers."
Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows and interrupted. "Then the relationship is good, hurry up and take us to participateWatch and visit. One day, when international friends come to attack Liangzhou, I will lead them so they won’t get lost. ”
As soon as these words came out, Paul Perrier was stunned, Morrison was embarrassed, but Mahanda’s heart skipped a beat.
What does it mean?
Yu Dutong frowned, looked majestic, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you come from as a wild man? How dare you speak nonsense in front of this capital?"
Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his spacious sleeve robe, laughing happily. He said, "Pindao is your domestic friend, why does Yu Dutong only have international friends in his eyes?"
"You" Yu Dutong said angrily, "Who do you think you are? You can be compared with all your international friends"< /p>
Morrison quickly tried to lighten the atmosphere.
“What am I saying to scare you to death? "Zhao Chuanxin did not give Morrison a chance, and was the first to speak. "There are many slogans for poor Taoists. When they lead the party, they call them the True Monarch; When there is smoke and dust, the trumpet is like a god; when he is racking his brains and greed for ink, his nickname is not empty. Master Yu Dutong doesn't know what nicknames there are."
Yu Dutong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Damn, this Taoist priest is so shameful.
He didn’t say a single curse word, but he was scolded to death.
He was hit by all these Taoist slogans without exception.
p>Looking at the sanctimonious people at this time, there are several innocent people who were shot
For example, Li Zhongtang, who claimed to never set foot in Japan, was finally found to have a huge amount of money in Japan. He was so angry that he was speechless after being squeezed out by Zhao Chuanxin.
At this time, Mahanda said displeasedly, "Morrison, your friend has no idea what he is talking about. He kindly invites you to visit. How can he talk to Yu Dutong like this?"
He spoke in English .
The clinker Zhao Chuanxin looked at him sideways, "Haha, you are so keen on visiting Qing soldiers' drills, it would be a pity that you don't become a spy." ”
Mahanda opened his mouth, but was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.
Isn’t he just a spy?
Of course Zhao Chuanxin didn’t know that he was a spy .
He just reminded Yu Dutong not to act like a fool and send information to foreigners.
If you encounter a spy, wouldn't it be tantamount to betraying your country?
The French scientist Paul Perrier suddenly looked at Mahanda suspiciously
Mahanda had joined his scientific expedition team a year ago.
As his scientific expedition team inspected all the way from west to east, and now being reminded by Zhao Chuanxin, he suddenly felt that many of Mahanda's actions along the way were indeed suspicious, like a spy.
As for Yu Du. Tong Mancheng is like a local emperor, who is considered the commander of a military region.
He said angrily, "This person is here. I suspect that this person has ulterior motives and wants to spy on the military plane. I will capture him immediately."
< p>In the city, there is one post every ten steps and one post every five steps.Sent, and immediately there were soldiers running over with rifles on their backs. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
