C566 On the Way of the Qing San Ye

Qing San Ye was currently staring intently at a Spencer Gun in front of him. A group of guards were sitting around him and watching San Ye dismantle the Gun.

In the Tanggu, with Letian Firm's convenience, they had imported many different kinds of world-famous spears. Every few days, there would be the figure of Third Master playing with spears on the beach's shooting-range, and now, teaching these imperial guards was no different from playing with a small toy.

Qing San Ye was a loyal person and had a high status within the Eight Banners. Most importantly, he did not have a trace of the aura of a popinjay, and his hands were full of hard work.

Only the Old Ancestor didn't like the Qing San Ye, especially when he played with the Gun. But the empress dowager didn't dare be rash, and could only scold him behind his back, "Exquisite and perverted".

San Ye knew that the Old Ancestor was scolding him, but even if he scolded everyone, there was no need for them to fall out with each other. Even if the Old Ancestor hated Western Firearm, he had no other choice now.

"Master San, you're in charge of the territory of Tanggu District, tell us what happened to the foreigners." Why was he so strong? "Also, what kind of Tightening Curse does Xiao Letian have that could even subdue foreigners …"

The people surrounding San Ye were all Knife guard from the personal army and eunuchs who knew martial arts. This half a month of joint fighting had allowed them to establish strong war friendship, so there was no need to worry about their words.

If not, he would not be able to serve in the Forbidden City. According to the rules, if he were to publicly discuss the foreigners and discuss the people in dispute, he would be stopped from doing so.

Zhou Daoying placed the water beside Fu Hui. When he heard that the guards and eunuchs wanted to talk about this topic, he was so angry that he wanted to scold them. However, he caught sight of the empress dowager from the corner of his eyes.

Ci An shook his head at him, indicating that he would not stop him. Zhou Daoying could only glare at them and sit at the back of the crowd to listen.

The Third Master took out a piece of sackcloth and started to slowly wipe the rifle in his hands. After thinking about it, he did not know how to start it. Although Xiao Letian was his relative, he had too many secrets.

"To be honest, I can't understand Xiao Letian either. He's too mysterious … Yes, it's as if he's not someone from this world, even the foreigners can't understand him! "

"I know what you want to ask. All you want to know is whether Xiao Letian is a traitor, and whether he will rebel or not? I can tell you the truth, Xiao Letian is a traitor, but I don't think he will rebel … "

Eh? This sentence was too strange. Wasn't rebellion born to be rebellious? How could there be a traitor who didn't want to become the emperor?

Looking at the puzzled gazes of the crowd, San Ye said with a wry smile: "Xiao Letian is a traitor, but he rebelled against the injustice of the world, and not because he wanted to think about something … Let me put it this way, Xiao Letian doesn't have much fun becoming an emperor. After drinking, he told me that the Ryukyu's throne is like a foot-long stream for him, he can jump over it, but it's boring. Becoming an emperor is the most boring thing in the world … "

"Xiao Letian can't bear to see corrupt scholars, and he also can't bear to see our Eight Flag Manchu, and even more so can't bear to see a foreign large nose bullying China. But I admire him the most for one thing, Xiao Letian. This person never looks at other people's hats, nor would he knock over a boat with a single rod.

"On one hand, he fought with the Japanese, and stole control of the latter. On the other hand, he can use his own blood to treat the Japanese, and the Japanese in him is the main body right now …"

"On the one hand, he scolded the Chinese for their steadfastness and their economy, and on the other hand, he scolded the Chinese for putting their feet on a woman's little foot, saying that this was a cruel and vile habit that hadn't been seen in thousands of years, and that was the shame of the Chinese! But on the other hand, he was full of admiration for the tolerance and tenacity of Confucianism... "

"On the one hand, he hates the foreigners who invaded the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, he can learn technology from the foreigners and find allies with them. He also highly values Europa's adventurous spirit and rationalism …"

"He is such a contradictory person. He is good at breaking up group parties. He often says that whether or not a person is worthy of respect depends on his conduct and morals, not his professional identity …"

Qing San Ye looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed: "It is precisely because Xiao Letian never judge people by their appearance, and not by their status or identity, that he sees your words and actions as the only thing regardless of your identity and race, and does not see your race or identity, let alone your profession …"

"That's why you all asked me why Xiao Letian is able to come so far. I think it might be because of his unique Inherent Skill, being able to tear apart any single faction with his bare hands, and is always able to find allies that belong to him …"

Speaking up to here, the Qing San Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice: "I have my instincts, I feel that one day, a piece of our Manchu will be dug out by Xiao Letian …"

"Hiss …" Everyone present inhaled a breath of cold air, and the atmosphere immediately became silent. No one knew who spoke out from the crowd: "Do we still need Xiao Letian to dig anymore? "We've already made a pot of porridge for ourselves. It has been a while since then, but now, six years have passed and we've returned just like before …"

"Ai …" When we were fighting at the foot of the mountain the day before yesterday, the person in front of us was a son of my family from Yanqing Manor, and he was currently eating food at minister of nine city gates's place. He told me that Maylor had led his troops to attack Tanggu again, and said that he wanted to take advantage of Xiao Letian's absence to dig into his heart … "

"San Ye, tell us the truth, is Xiao Letian dead or not?"

"That's right, that's right …" Right now, the Empress Dowager Xi has a lot of power. If Maylor can flank that gold mountain again, and the Empress Dowager Xi has both troops and money, then no one will be able to control him anymore … "

The crowd talked all at once, completely unaware that Fu Hui, who was behind them, was trembling in fear.

The Qing San Ye was unable to answer these questions, nor did he want to. He was very clear that the people around him could not understand the world that Xiao Letian and the others lived in at all.

But right at this moment, the Empress Dowager of the East in the Kiki's tower suddenly spoke up. "Fuqing …" Let me ask you a few questions. First, how many victories do you think Maylor would have if he were to attack the Tanggu? Secondly, why do you say that Xiao Letian will not revolt? What is your certificate? Third, I want to ask you, you have been together with Xiao Letian for the longest period of time, how much of his abilities have you learned? "

When the empress dowager spoke through the window, the eunuchs and guards who were speaking quickly turned around and knelt down to pay their respects. Ci An had only said "rise" before he stared fixedly at Fuqing. Wherever his gaze went, San Ye felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

"Slave …" Slave! "I don't dare to speak carelessly …"

"Don't call yourself a servant. You are an official who knows a lot. In any case, you are still a foreign official who has seen a lot of things. It's better for you to answer me honestly …" What nonsense are you talking about? Hehe, I can't even drink a mouthful of tea, who cares about your nonsense … "

Hearing this, Zhou Daoying felt wronged and immediately cried out, he kneeled on the ground and said, "My lord has humiliated his subjects, this servant did not serve you well, this is my sin …" "Wuu!"

"Don't cry anymore. Go and open some canned meat that Hairy # 2 brought along and boil some broth for the guards who are on night duty …" Now is the time to work together. As long as we can get through this obstacle, even if one of you is I, we will not let you down … "

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude.

At this time, Qing San Ye released his courage and stood up to ponder for a moment. "Empress Dowager, this humble subject will answer the first question first. If Xiao Letian was in Tanggu, Maylor wouldn't even have the slightest chance of winning. I can even guess, if Maylor knew that Xiao Letian was still in Tanggu, he wouldn't even dare to attack … "

"If Xiao Letian is not in the Tanggu, and is closely following the defense of the remaining 300 over new troops … I think that Maylor has a fifty percent chance of winning, no no no no … … I feel that his chances of victory are only forty percent! "

"What?" An army of 10,000 would only have a 40% chance of defeating a Special Zone with 300 people defending it? Your Fuqing is way too boastful … " The Old Ancestor could no longer bear to listen as he watched the battle from the rooftop.

San Ye cupped his hands: "Old Ancestor, you don't understand, the Tanggu is currently being operated by Xiao Letian, they are all metal barrels. Although the number of 300 new troops is not much, they all rely on deep trenches and barbed wire to defend themselves, and the wall of the Special Zone is extremely tall. There are even God Archers to train guards on it …"

"There are only three walls in the Special Administrative Region, and the pier is on the east side. We don't even have a navy in the Qing Dynasty, so we can obtain an endless supply of resources and keep watch for ten years without any problem …"

San Ye stared at Ci An who was behind the window, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Not only that, there are hundreds of foreigners working in the special region. I even suspect that these foreigners will take the initiative to join the war. This is not an exaggeration, I am at least 90% sure! "

"AHH!" Ci An gasped, with a wave of his hand he almost broke a long enamel fingernail case, "Will the foreigners join in? What benefits did Xiao Letian give them? "

"What's so good about that? There are foreigners in the district, so of course they have to do their best to protect their property. The foreigners don't recognize our emperor, they only recognize our property …"

At this moment, a low shout came from his waist, followed by the sound of intense footsteps. Er Mao and a few guards ran over hurriedly, and Er Mao was carrying a black cloth bag in his hands.

"Empress Dowager …" The news from outside has finally been sent in. Please suppress the news left and right. The situation outside has changed greatly! "My god, today's three thousand silver taels are truly worth it!"
