Chapter 22 - Vicious Xiao Letian

This was a pitch dark night, and it had already been three days since Xiao Letian had caused such a ruckus. In the Eternal Peace Mountain, located about thirty miles west of Yi County, a dozen or so black-clothed men were travelling through the forest. One of the two people was dressed as a hunter, while the other one was Yi County's constable, Wang Hu.

"Tiger Lord, the pillar is right in front of us. Do you really want to go in?" The hunter asked carefully.

"Why are you asking so much? Shut your mouth, can't you seal it with a hundred silver taels? " Wang Hu glared at him fiercely, and turned to ask humbly.

"Mister... In front of them was the Boundary Stance. If outsiders were to enter, they would be killed without exception! You... Are you sure you want to go in? " Wang Hu said with a trembling voice, because behind the pillar was the imperial tomb of the Great Qing. A total of twenty thousand guards stood guard here, and a dozen or so Manchu villas were inside.

Xiao Letian did not answer. He only used the faint starlight to gaze into the distance, and amidst the pitch-black shadows of the mountains, there were specks of fiery light.

"This is the Qing Xi Mausoleum, the Yongzheng Lord is buried here, the only one I admire about this Great Qing Dynasty is this Yongzheng who has turned the tides. "Your change of government has successfully extended the lifespan of the Great Qing Dynasty by at least a hundred years. How can I not accept you …"

In his heart, Xiao Letian was muttering to himself, "But what you do is just to extend the lifespan of the mountains and rivers of your Manchu, the path that I will walk in the future will be different from yours. I want to repeat the path that I once took at the time, the path of the eighth brother's sacrifice, I want to establish a new small court inside your Great Qing Dynasty, I want to use money and a spear of fire to drag all the officials into the water, I want to decimate this court from the bottom to the top …"

"This decaying dynasty should change, or China's destiny will be wiped out in your hands. You'd better keep my career going, because it's the only way your descendants can get a good ending. "I think you should know about the miserable state of the empires that have changed over the past thousands of years, right …"

Xiao Letian looked at Wang Hu, "Did you submit? "I've already told you, if you want to board my ship and refuse to hand over your vow, then don't even think about it. Have you forgotten all about seeking riches and danger?" Xiao Letian coldly glared at him. Perhaps it was because there were a few deaths in his hands after he teleported, but Xiao Letian's eyes actually caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Do it!" Wang Hu stomped his feet and turned his head to the hunter and said: "The reason I came to find you was to let you bring us in. As long as you can protect us safe and sound, I will give you another 100 taels of silver from my own pocket."

When the old hunter heard that they could get 200 silver taels, he immediately jumped up and said, "Look, I haven't been hunting in the Royal Tomb for a day or two already. I know this group of soldiers' patrol routes very well. I'll use my head to guarantee your safety …"

After a short rest, a group of people started to silently march. With Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin's protection from the sides, the mountain road that Xiao Letian was on was unusually smooth. In less than an hour, they had already snuck onto the hill behind the Tai Ling Treasure Peak. Along the way, they met three night watchmen, but did not discover them.

When Xiao Letian could already see the Treasure Peak of Mausoleum of Tai Ling and the main hall at the foot of the mountain, he immediately became excited. He knew that the one who was sleeping at his feet was the famous Master Yongzheng.

Yinzhen, yinzhen, you didn't expect, the first Han on your head was actually a traveler! I'm really sorry, but your servant has really made me anxious. I can't kill this Lian Lian Er without using any underhanded tricks.

Grandma, if you want to establish your might, take this opportunity now. Today, I will also show my subordinates Xiao Letian's methods, and let them know how domineering I am. Under Xiao Letian's orders, a dozen or so black shadows started to traverse the mountain forest. Flammable oil was contained within the oil gourd, and there was even a large ball of fluffy cotton cloth in their embrace.

This time, Wang Hu and the hunter finally understood what was going on. This constable who came from a green forest in the martial arts world had sat down on the ground with a limp, "Ah, ancestor! You want to burn the Mausoleum of Tailing? "Heavens, this is the sin of slaying the nine clans …"

That old hunter was even more so a coward. He actually wanted to run away. It seemed that he was truly frightened. But at the last moment, Wang Hu used all his strength and pounced on the old hunter and pinned him to the ground, blocking his mouth as he said softly, "You are already on the boat, you still want to run? "Be more obedient. If you listen to me obediently, you can still live. If you don't, I'll kill you …"

The corner of Xiao Letian's mouth curled up. It seemed like he was still very satisfied with Wang Hu's performance.

Just as Xiao Letian was about to secretly enter the Western Tomb Realm, he did not know that Winged King Shida Kai and General Liu Lang were bringing many elites to lurk on an inconspicuous little hill opposite of the Eternal Peace Mountain.

How could Shi Dakai not come? He absolutely did not think that Xiao Letian would actually make a move on Qing Xi Ling, logically speaking, this did not fit with the Confucian morals.

"Liu Lang, do you think I have made the Military Advisor feel pressured? Did Mr. Xiao do this to give us a vote? "He's afraid we won't believe him …"

Liu Lang frowned and thought for a bit: "It's not likely, I've read the articles written by the Mr. Xiao, he's proficient in the foreign devil technique, would he care about his reputation behind the scenes? "I don't think so, but I'm a bit convinced by your proposal. However, I feel that the proposal was not for us, but for the Military Advisor to himself …"

"It seems like he's going to use this kind of sensational poison to completely force himself onto the road he's talking about …"

As if Shi Dakai didn't know him, he looked at him for a long time before finally laughing, "You old man, I didn't think you would have such a thin heart. is forcing himself, I can feel the struggle in his heart … "

"With a strategist's talent, only the upper echelons of the world can reach this level. Letting him walk our path, speaking the truth, will be too difficult for him." If the rich don't do it, come with us to this road of no return... Forget it, Liu Lang, remember this, after this big fire, strategists are the backbone of our cause, and no one, including me, is allowed to disobey them even a little … "

Shi Dakai and Liu Lang's guesses were not wrong. Xiao Letian's plan to burn Tai Ling this time really had several meanings. In Xiao Letian's big plan, capturing the Liu County Order was equivalent to opening up a path for money. It was time to make a move against an old loser like Lian'er.

Xiao Letian did not want to make an assassination, although it was simple, but the death of a chief steward in Ministry of Internal Affairs would definitely attract the attention of Beijing. Xiao Letian also didn't want to use money to lead the way and transfer Lian Er away from Yi County. After thinking about it, he decided to use the Qing Dynasty's power to kill Lian'er. This was not a bad choice.

Most importantly, the third point was that Xiao Letian wanted to use this huge torch of his to thoroughly force himself onto this path of change. This was because he knew, when he was in the Little White Territory in his previous life, his hobby of enjoying himself and getting by was practically ingrained in his bones. He was really afraid that after he made a fortune, he would hide in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and other beautiful countries and become a rich person.

Xiao Letian knew his own weakness. He really could do such a thing.

The small wooden stick was beating on the mountain rock, not far away was the Tai Ling Treasure Peak, Xiao Letian was squatting on the ground and 'chatting' with the Yongzheng Elder.

"Don't be unconvinced, I'm still a reasonable person. Digging your grave is too disgraceful, but burning your hair is not a problem …" Who are you blaming for this? Isn't it the fault of your descendant, Lian Er, that old bastard? Why do you think he's provoking me? "You've been brought down so much that you got unlucky too …"

"Also, tell me, what was that little imperial court you created with your eighth brother, Yin? Did they really have a secret between them? It was said that many counties would pay twice a year for food? One portion for the imperial court, and one portion for Eighth Brother? "

Just as Xiao Letian was talking nonsense, it was as if the Yongzheng in the grave had heard his words. A gust of cold wind blew through the forest, and trees rustled back and forth. The two sets of wolf fur clothes that Xiao Letian was wearing made him feel a gloomy and cold aura.

"Aiyee!" You don't like it anymore? Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you now, but can't I just wait for the matter to become an indestructible clan in Manchu? let them live equally with other people... "

Just then, Wang Huaiyuan ran over from afar and said in a low voice, "Sir, the twenty fire spots have already been set up, please leave … …" Xiao Letian glared at him, "Bullsh * t, why aren't we leaving together? I want to see the fire start with my own eyes. "

Xiao Letian fiercely trampled on the mountain rocks with his right foot, looking at the pitch black mountains and rivers, as though he was accumulating energy, "Let's do it!" In the midst of the cold north wind, twenty fires lit up simultaneously.

Just as Xiao Letian was setting fire to the place lawlessly, in a small village at the foot of the Western Tomb, Second Master Lian was leaning on his bed in his bedroom, conspiring with a few of his trusted aides.

"Are you sure? Is there really a Americans that has come to contact with someone with the surname Xiao? " Second Master Lian's head was covered with a white towel as he stared in disbelief at the Ri Pi monkey sitting on the chair. The four surrounding people were all leaders of the Western Tomb Army, all direct descendants of Second Master Lian.

"My good second master, can I still speak nonsense about this? Yesterday, the horse had arrived. The four bodyguards of the Huwei Escort Office in Beijing were guarding the Kunlun Slave as they entered the Yi County through the North Gate … It was the little Kunlun Slave that Priest Liu brought along. It was as black as a coal ball. He directly went to look for the Shao family member … He really isn't trying to scare us, he actually had an affair with the Master Yang … "

Cough cough cough … When Second Master Lian heard this, he was so angry that he almost passed out. It took a whole cup of tea before he managed to calm down. This new year isn't going well for me. How did I meet with such a hassle? According to what you said, I won't be able to take revenge? just watch as this two devils roam freely in the Yi County? "

"My good Second Master, don't worry, even if we can't kill him, we can still do it in secret. I have friends that are wealthy in the green forest, and I know all sorts of people, and as long as you give me a price, I can invite Master Xiang Shaolong over. If Master Ghost Shadow acts, are there still people that can't kill him?"

"Also, Master Phantom Shadow's killing methods are superb, he hates foreigners the most. When the time comes and something happens to Xiao Letian, we can take revenge again, and Master Yang won't be able to say anything. "How can people not get sick when they eat five grains and no food at all …"

Just as this group of people were plotting something, waves of restlessness suddenly came from the night sky, like the sound of a gong being struck, and the urgent sound of the Horn of Ox blowing.

Just as Second Master Lian sat up and was about to look outside, the door burst open. A butler rushed in and knelt down, crying.

"Wuwuwu …" [My second lord, the sky is falling and the earth is caving in …] "Quickly, take a look. The mountain at the back of the Mausoleum of Tailing is on fire. It's burning to the point where the sky is about to collapse …"

"Ah …" "The heavens want me to die …"
