C227 The Phase of the True Dragon

Xiao Letian had truly fallen into his trap, they thought that the Old Ancestor of the Forbidden City was here to kill him. The Old Ancestor knew about Xiao Letian's prestige in the new army. He knew that would definitely mobilize the entire army once he encountered danger.

It wasn't that the Old Ancestor didn't want to kill Xiao Letian, but he was, after all, the kennel of the imperial government. He already knew that the imperial government would send Zhou Daoying and Er Mao to negotiate with him.

In the end, the Old Ancestor also retreated, running away with ease under the encirclement of the two hundred new army and the hundred over experts from Discipline Hall. The northern Hidden Fog Kid also escaped, the horse carriage carrying Maylor and a few officers rushed past and disappeared into the night.

"Your subordinate was incompetent, and did not protect the lord well. Furthermore, I fell into the enemy's trap. Please punish me, lord …" The group of officers led by Wang Huaiyuan all knelt down. Although Xiao Letian strictly forbade all his subordinates to kneel down and pay their respects, this chaos was a humiliation to everyone, and everyone was filled with guilt.

"Everyone, get up. I've said this countless times, let's not kneel down and kowtow. What is a good man kowtowing to others? "I'm responsible for this too, I was too careless …"

"Lord, let the Discipline Hall move out. I believe they won't be far. Brothers, go capture them …"

At this time, Dragon Lord held onto his chest and said, "I know that the Old Eagle is also in the city. As long as Master can borrow the Old Eagle, we will definitely be able to capture that old monster alive …"

Xiao Letian immediately shook his head when he heard about it, "Don't speak nonsense, don't you think that there is more trouble? "So what if the old monster is gone? Do you guys still want to be provoked and brought back here?"

If the Old Ancestor and Hidden Fog Kid knew that they had missed out on such a huge piece of information, their intestines would have turned green with regret. To lose such a heavyweight information for a few hostages was truly Xiao Letian's great fortune.

"Dragon Lord, tell me clearly. How many old monsters like this do you have in the martial arts world? There shouldn't be such an awesome spy in Tanggu right now, right? "

Dragon Lord laughed when he heard it, "Master, do you think that martial arts experts make Gun in factories? For people like the Old Ancestor of the Forbidden City, there should not be more than one slap on the face at all. The current Tanggu should be the safest time … "

Just as Xiao Letian was making sure that it was safe, the old shopkeeper on the second floor of the Letian Firm was drinking tea with the Great Marshal Zeng, trembling with fear. There were only the two of them in the room, but the old shopkeeper knew that the roof and the surrounding streets were filled with the elite warriors of the Xiang Army.

Just now, when the world outside the Tanggu City was in chaos, there were already many experts with light techniques reporting the latest news to the Great Marshal Zeng.

"Reporting to Grand Marshal, Xiao Letian's new army has already been dispatched. Ten people, one squad, is encircling from all sides … Reporting to the marshal, these newbies are unusually well-equipped, it's actually a full set of foreign equipment, the Gun they use is actually the legendary American Spencer … "

"Reporting, Sir, Xiao Letian's guards were equipped with a large number of hand grenades and burning bottles, the assassin has been forced to retreat … Master, new news came from the north. The imprisoned Maylor and Sun Sanhu have already been taken away … "

Fan Lian looked at the marshal's janissaries who were reporting on the situation like passing lanterns, and lamented in his heart: "Young Master, stop fighting, if you continue fighting, all of this would be wiped clean by Ceng Guofan …"

Ceng Guofan stroked his beard and said, "old shopkeeper, if I'm not wrong, Xiao Letian and the other soldiers use American equipment, right? My god, his outfit is worth at least a few hundred taels of silver? Xiao Letian is truly rich, we Xiang Army cannot afford to play with him … "

"Marshal …" "The marshal is joking now. With hundreds of thousands of Hops controlling the rich and powerful lands of Jiangnan, it'll be easy for us to get our hands on this equipment as long as we have enough time."

The two of them greeted each other as they were not in the mood for food and drinks. At this moment, an exquisite table had already been served. This was something he specially ordered the Coastal building to cook for him at the last minute.

"Marshal, please run all the way. There is warm wine here. Drink a mouthful to relieve the fatigue …" As Fan Lian said this, he was about to pour wine for the marshal, but Ceng Guofan stopped him.

"Wait for Xiao Letian, he's my master and my guest. If he's not here, it won't be good for us to start the banquet …" At this moment, a hearty voice sounded from outside the door.

"Marshal is going to kill me. If this were to spread out, then who knows how people would poke my spine? How can a junior like me be worthy of a marshal's waiting?"

It was Xiao Letian who pushed the door and entered. Ceng Guofan's eyes immediately lit up, and inwardly exclaimed to himself that such an elegant young master, no wonder he could seduce the famous and beautiful lady of Fuca's house. Especially his eyes, which held essence, energy and divine power that didn't scatter. Ceng Guofan had learned the art of Frozen Mirror before, and having it in front of him was his strong point in the first place.

It actually had the appearance of a True Dragon! This Xiao Letian actually had True Dragon Qi, but the might of the dragon on Xiao Letian's face was not great, which showed that he was not a bloodthirsty person.

As Ceng Guofan observed Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian naturally had to observe this legendary official of history as well. Xiao Letian knew that maybe tonight, he would be able to solve the most controversial mystery in history. Why didn't this old marshal rebel? One had to know that as long as he could withstand the curses of the Confucian Scholars, he would succeed in his rebellion.

This was a lean and robust old man who was not too old in his fifties. When he was in his prime for a political figure, a pair of sinister eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's soul.

knew that he was trying to get a look at him. According to the records, Ceng Guofan was extremely good at seeing people, and he was extremely accurate in his judgement, and his aides and advisers were all elites chosen by a thousand, with the Xiang Army power eventually evolving into the Huai Army and then into the Northern Ocean. This kind of power had ruled over China for more than a hundred years, and without an outstanding talent, this was an impossible task.

"Haha, is marshal giving me a look?" "Then you have to give me a good count. How much money do you think I can make? How many wives can I marry in my lifetime?" Xiao Letian scratched his nose in embarrassment and teased.

With a pa sound, Ceng Guofan slammed the table and said sternly, "Don't even think about smiling, I finally know why your dragon aura is so weak. It's because of your lazy, teasing nature! "Do you know that you have the appearance of an emperor and the aura of a dragon on you …"

was so scared that he almost twisted his ankle on the spot. Marshal, don't joke with me. I even have the appearance of an emperor? I still have dragon qi? "You are really talking too much. You are forcing the imperial government to kill me …"

It was not only Xiao Letian who was frightened, Fan Lian even overturned the teacup in his hands and said, "I'm going out to hurry the dishes. You guys chat, I won't disturb you any longer …" With that, he fled.

Right now, there were only two foxes left in the room, one old and one young. No, no, it should be said they were two hidden dragons, one old and one young.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Letian finally picked up the jug of wine and poured a cup of wine for the marshal, "Marshal, I am just a normal b * stard who wants to become rich and misses women. I am really not interested in the matters of the court … On the contrary, Marshal, you are no ordinary man. Isn't it a small step for you to ascend the peak of Mount Tai? "

Ceng Guofan did not directly respond to Xiao Letian's question. He only took out a Mexican eagle and gently placed it in front of Xiao Letian.

"Mr. Xiao is bold, in more than a year's time, how many millions of silver coins have you secretly made? Which of the Eight Flag Masters can you deceive, but not me? Is the silver cauldron in Taibai Top yours? "

"Not only are you buying silver coins, you are also bribing officials, Yi County's Liu County Order's Liu County Order, Tanggu's Zhou Tong, and even some other county officials. I don't think that they have taken less from you, no wonder the market is selling off more and more foreign money and the silver coins are all in your pockets.

"Not only that, you are also the Prime Minister in Ryukyu. You are even practicing your new army, even working in industry, and even Shang Tai has acknowledged you as his master. The entire Ryukyu is under your control, and your new army is not 200, but 1000.

Xiao Letian felt like his heart had been squeezed, his hand trembled and the wine cup in front of him scattered, but it was obvious that Ceng Guofan did not want to let him go, the final attack directly knocking Xiao Letian onto the chair.

"You even went as far as secretly searching for the remnants of the Luo Tian Country! Do you think I don't know the true identity of the bandits in Taibai Top? Other than the North Guard back then, what other bandit elites could possibly have reached this level? The blood battle against Japanese, didn't you rely on this group of Heaven veterans!? "

With a "pa" sound, the white porcelain wine cup tumbled to the ground. Xiao Letian's face became deathly pale as he said faintly, "So the Great Marshal Zeng is giving the imperial court a hand? Did he come this time to denounce them? Twenty thousand elite warriors is still not enough, are you afraid that I will run away and hold me back by myself? "

Xiao Letian took a deep breath, "You are really the loyal subject of the Great Qing Dynasty. I wonder what my brain can change into? A hereditary marquis? Or do you want to call yourself a king with a different name? Hehe, you really think of the Qing Dynasty as a living Bodhisattva? "

"Hahaha …" Ceng Guofan laughed madly: "You don't need to test me, nor do you need to use words to oppress me. I, Ceng Guofan, have always done things so casually. "In your eyes, what exactly are Han people?"

Xiao Letian was startled, he was starting to lose track of Ceng Guofan's chat, wasn't his jumping ability too great? I was still blaming myself just now, and now the exam is about to start? However, Xiao Letian knew that this kind of famous person would not waste any time on nonsense.

Don't think that your new army is powerful. If Great Marshal Zeng were to really take action, his little finger would be crushed into fine powder.

Time had almost stopped and Xiao Letian's brain was working quickly. Although he could not figure out the reason behind this question, he could still vaguely feel that this question and his own dream had been answered.

"Nationalism is in the ascendant in Europe, and Prussia's rise depends on the group known as the German Nationality. "Every race in the world is linked by blood ties. They are all the same, and all they look like is a race …"

"Only the Han is very strange, because the Han is not a pure blood race, I prefer to call the Han Chinese Chinese, and the most different special or gifted part of our race, is the ability to swallow hatred. This is the biggest treasure we Han people have ever seen."

With a "pa" sound, Ceng Guofan slapped the table hard, "Well said, how come I can't get such an accurate description, you really are a real dragon!"
