227 The Face of the True Dragon

Xiao Letian really fell for the trick, they thought that the ancestor of the Forbidden City was here to kill him, but in fact, it was just to divert the tiger from the mountain. The old ancestor knew Xiao Letian's prestige in the new army, and knew that he would definitely have to dispatch the whole army when he encountered danger, as long as the dungeon guard force became weaker, Sister Wu would have a chance to make a move.

It's not that the ancestor doesn't want to kill Xiao Letian, but after all, he is the eagle dog of the imperial court, and he already knows that the imperial court sent Zhou Daoying and Ermao to negotiate with Xiao Letian, and killing Xiao Letian at this time will not benefit the imperial court at all.

In the end, the old ancestor also retreated, surrounded by two hundred new troops and more than a hundred torture hall masters, and easily escaped through the pass, and the fog hidden imp in the north also fled, and the galloping carriage carrying Dutong Maile and several officers broke through the pass and disappeared into the night.

"The subordinates are incompetent, they didn't protect the adults, and they fell for the enemy's strategy, please punish the ......" A cadre of officers led by Wang Huaiyuan all knelt down, although Xiao Lotian strictly forbade his officers to kneel and salute, but this chaos was a shame for everyone, and everyone's hearts were full of guilt.

"Get up, I've said it countless times, let's not kneel and bow, what's the matter with a good man's old kowtow? I am also responsible for this matter, or am I careless......"

"My lord, let the torture hall be dispatched, I believe they won't be able to run far, brothers go and arrest people......"

At this time, Long Ye held his chest and said, "I know that the eagle is also in the city, as long as you borrow the eagle, my lord, the two of us will definitely be able to capture that old monster alive together......"

Xiao Letian quickly shook his head when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, don't you think there are enough messes?

If the Old Ancestor and the Fog Hidden Imp knew that they had missed a great piece of information, their bowels would be repentant. For the sake of a few hostages, losing such a blockbuster intelligence is really Xiao Letian's great luck.

"Master Long, you told me clearly, how many old monsters like this are there in the martial arts? There shouldn't be such a good spy in Tanggu now, right?"

When Long Ye heard this, he smiled, "My lord, are you a martial arts master, are you making foreign guns in the factory? A figure like the ancestor of the Forbidden City, the whole Qing Dynasty should not be more than a slap in the face, and now Tanggu should be the safest time......"

Just when Xiao Lotian confirmed his safety, the old shopkeeper Fan Yao on the second floor of Lotte was trembling and drinking tea with Zeng Dashuai, there were only two of them in the room, but the old shopkeeper knew that there was still the first floor on the roof and the surrounding streets, there must be the elite of the Hunan army, and there were not a few masters like Eagle and Long Ye.

Just now, when there was a great chaos outside Tanggu City, many light martial arts masters reported the latest battle report to Zeng Dashuai back and forth.

"Marshal Qiqi, Xiao Letian's new army has been dispatched, and ten people are being surrounded from all directions by a squad...... Report to the marshal, these new troops are unusually well-equipped, they are actually a full set of foreigners' equipment, and the foreign guns used are really the legendary American Spencer ......"

"Report to my lord, Xiao Letian's guards are equipped with a large number of grenades and Molotov cocktails, and the assassins have now been forced back...... My lord, there is new news from the north, and the imprisoned Mailer and Sun Sanhu have been robbed......"

Fan Yao looked at the marshal and his own soldiers who reported the battle situation like a marquee, and sighed in his heart, "Uncle, don't fight, if you continue to fight, you will let Zeng Guofan spy on it......"

Zeng Guofan twisted his beard and said, "Old shopkeeper, if my guess is correct, Xiao Letian's soldiers use completely American-style equipment, right? Good guy, this outfit can't cost hundreds of taels of silver? Xiao Letian is really rich, but our Hunan army can't afford to play it......"

"Dashuai...... The big marshal said with a smile, hundreds of thousands of tigers control the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as there is enough time for such equipment, it is not easy?"

The two exchanged nourishing greetings, and at this time, a table of exquisite wine and food had been served. This is a temporary coastal building to open the furnace deliberately done, the handsome wind and dust rushed to Tanggu overnight, how can I have a supper.

"Dashuai, you are running all the way, there is warm wine here, you can take a sip to relieve your ......fatigue first," Fan Yi said and was about to pour wine for Dashuai, but Zeng Guofan stopped him.

"Wait for Xiao Letian, he is the host and I am the guest, it's not good to open the table when he is not there......" At this moment, a hearty voice came from outside the door.

"The handsome man has tormented me, if this word spreads, the people of the world may not know how to poke my backbone, how can I be a junior boy who can afford to be handsome and wait?"

It was Xiao Letian who pushed the door in, Zeng Guofan's eyes lit up at that time, and he secretly sighed in his heart that he was a handsome son, no wonder he could seduce the famous beauties of the Fucha family, this appearance is too good. Especially his eyes, the spirit is condensed and does not disperse, Zeng Guofan has learned the art of ice appreciation, and his appearance is his strength.

It actually has the appearance of a real dragon... This Xiao Letian actually has the aura of a true dragon, but Xiao Letian's face is not very powerful, which shows that this person is not a murderous person by nature.

Zeng Guofan is observing Xiao Letian, and Xiao Letian of course has to observe this legendary minister in history. Xiao Letian knew that perhaps tonight, he would be able to solve one of the most controversial mysteries in history, and why didn't this old marshal rebel? You must know that as long as he can withstand the scolding of the Confucian scholars, his rebellion will not be unsuccessful.

This is a thin and sturdy old man, not too old in his fifties, for a political character, it is the right age, a pair of old and spicy eyes seem to be able to see through people's souls.

Xiao Letian knew that he was giving himself faces, the history books record that Zeng Guofan is extremely good at face-to-face, he sees people very accurately, and his staff group is the elite who are thousands of choices, and the Hunan army finally evolved into the Huai Army and then into Beiyang, this force has ruled China for more than 100 years, and there is no excellent talent reserve, which is an impossible task.

"Haha, Dashuai, this is for me to meet? Then you have to give me a good calculation, how much wealth do you say I can make, and how many daughters-in-law can I marry in my life?" Xiao Letian touched his nose and laughed.

Hearing only a snap, Zeng Guofan slapped the table and said sharply, "Don't want to be hippie and smiley, I can count on why the dragon power on your body is so faint, it is caused by your lazy and laughing personality... Do you know that you have the appearance of an emperor and a dragon's energy in you......"

Oh, my mother, Xiao Lotian was so frightened that he almost broke his foot on the spot, "Big ...... Don't be kidding, Dashuai, I still have the appearance of an emperor? I still have dragon energy? You are too, you are forcing the court to kill me......"

Not only Xiao Lotian was frightened, but Fan Yao knocked over the tea bowl by mistake, "I'll go out to urge hot dishes, you talk, I won't bother......" After speaking, he ran away.

Now there are two foxes left in the house, one old and one young, no, it should be said that there are two hidden dragons, one old and one young, staring at each other with such big eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the end, Xiao Letian picked up the wine jug and filled a glass to Dashuai, "Dashuai, I am just an ordinary second devil who wants to get rich and want women, and I really have no interest in the affairs of the court...... On the contrary, you are not ordinary, isn't it a small step for you to climb to the top of Mount Tai?"

Zeng Guofan did not respond positively to Xiao Letian's question, but just took out a Mexican eagle and gently placed it in front of Xiao Letian.

"Mr. Xiao is not a little bold, in the past year or so, you have not been able to privately mint millions of silver coins?

"Not only did you mint silver coins privately, but you also bought the government, the Liuxian Order of Yi County, Zhou Tongzhi of Tanggu, and even some other county officials, it is estimated that they did not receive heavy gifts from you, no wonder there is more and more foreign money on the market, and all the broken silver has gone into your pocket, and the fire consumption of the Qing Dynasty is considered to have made you bite the ......"

"Not only that, but you are also the prime minister of the Ryukyus, training the new army, and even engaging in industry, even the king of Shangtai worships you as a teacher, and the entire Ryukyu country is under your control, and your new army is not two hundred at all, but one thousand, I am not wrong......"

Xiao Letian felt as if his heart had been pinched, and he shook his hand and spilled the wine glass in front of him, but Zeng Guofan obviously didn't want to let him go, and the last blow directly hit Xiao Letian to the chair.

"You've even secretly collected the remnants of the kingdom of heaven... Don't you know the true identity of the bandits on the top of Taibai? In addition to the Northern Expeditionary Army back then, what other bandits could be elite enough to do this? Didn't you rely on these veterans of the heavenly kingdom in Naha's bloody battle with the Japanese..."

With a click, the white porcelain wine cup rolled to the ground, Xiao Letian's face turned pale, and he said faintly, "It turns out that Zeng Dashuai is going to give the court a head? This time I came to ask the master to ask for the guilt? 20,000 elites are not enough, this is for fear that I will run away and drag me by himself?"

Xiao Letian took a deep breath: "You are really a loyal servant of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know what my head can be exchanged? A hereditary marquis? Or do you want to be the king with a different surname? Hehe, really take the Manchu Qing as a living bodhisattva?"

"Hahaha......" Zeng Guofan laughed wildly, "You don't have to test me, and don't use words to squeeze me, I, Zeng Guofan, have always done things freely, I just want to test you today...... What exactly is the Han in your eyes?"

Xiao Letian was stunned for a moment, he couldn't catch up with the rhythm of Zeng Guofan's chat, and the jump was too big, right? I was still counting my sins just now, and now I was actually about to take the exam? But Xiao Letian knew that there would not be any nonsense in the mouth of this kind of historical celebrity, and the slightest improper response was a dead word.

Don't think that your new army is powerful, if Zeng Dashuai really does it, a little finger will be crushed into powder.

Time has almost stopped, Xiao Letian's brain is running rapidly, although he can't figure out the purpose behind this question, but he can vaguely feel that this question and his ideal are figured out.

"Nationalism is now in the ascendant in Europe, and Prussia's strong rise is based on the German nation. All ethnic groups in the world are linked by blood, and those who are of the same language and species are close in appearance to one nation......"

"Only the Han nationality is very peculiar, because the Han nationality is not a pure blood nation, I prefer to call the Han nationality the Chinese nationality, and the most different characteristics or talents of our nation are 'devouring hatred' is not wrong, that is, the ability to devour hatred, which is the biggest magic weapon of our Han people to survive so far......"

With a snap, Zeng Guofan slammed the table, "That's right, why can't I summarize such a good description, you are really a real dragon..."
