C176 Internal disarray (1/2)

From Sun Sanhu's judgement, the exposed Xiao Letian was definitely sealing his own negligence. His troops were definitely retreating towards the Ryukyu, and this brat was destined to escape.

However, Xiao Letian had already gathered countless wealth in the Great Qing, so it would take him a while to take all of them away. And this time difference was a good opportunity for Sun Sanhu to take action.

”Lord Zhou, we need to capture Xiao Letian and get evidence of his rebellion before he escapes. As long as we have the evidence, we can kill him on the spot. ”Hur hur, we'll be waiting for the promotion then!”

Zhou Mingkui's face immediately turned bitter, he felt his heart racing, he really wanted to talk about Xiao Letian with the imperial guard, to let him understand what kind of person Xiao Letian was, but he didn't dare, because that would expose his relationship with Xiao Letian.

”My lord, you have a good plan. It is indeed an excellent plan. Let me think about it a little more. Let me strive for a more complete plan …”

Sun Sanhu was just a bodyguard from Beijing. Although he was still an expert in the Red Sect's martial arts, his IQ and EQ were both very worrying. From the very beginning, he had only analyzed Xiao Letian from the perspective of an official of the Kingdom of Qing. He never jumped out of this environment to carefully analyze Xiao Letian.

Of course, with his experience, it was hard to get out. Using the trite eyes of a feudal official to analyze Xiao Letian had already laid the groundwork for his failure.

Sun Sanhu left, bringing his plan to the people, leaving Zhou Mingkui sitting on the chair, in a daze for the entire morning. He did not even eat lunch at noon before he began to write an invitation for Xiao Letian, inviting him to come and drink with the Prefect tomorrow night.

At this moment, the Xiao family's residence was having a long secret meeting because of this leak. On one hand, they had to find a way to reveal their secret, and on the other hand, they had to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the elites of the Tanggu City were gathered. Under the double protection of the guards and the special forces of Green Forest, the entire Xiao family mansion was tightly sealed, even if a fly wanted to enter, they would have to be interrogated.

”Brothers, let me tell everyone some bad news. The news of the First and Second Company sneaking into the Tanggu has already been leaked out. Right now, the legend of the Shadow Squad's passage through the city is telling us …”

With a boom, the brothers looked left and right, unable to believe their ears. The two companies had both landed after midnight, and had not shown their faces during this period of time. How could they possibly be exposed? At this time, the Dragon Lord spoke out.

”The legend of the ghost soldiers borrowing the dao was unintentionally discovered by an old man in the south city. I have already investigated the old man's background and found out that he was a childless old man without any other secrets on his body. However, I can't deny that this legend was spread by him.”

”Right now, the most puzzling thing is how the Jiao Si'er connected these two things. Apart from the foreigners, no one else knows about the existence of the new army. As for the foreigners leaking secrets, that is even more impossible. How did they know that we had transported the army of Naha Harbor to the Great Qing Province? ”

Xiao Letian knocked on the table, making the room instantly quieten down. Looking at the middle ranking commanders of the Company Commander, Queue length, and Green Forest Special Forces, as well as the elite soldiers under Wang Huaiyuan, he felt gratified in his heart.

The people sitting in front of him were all his elites, and it was because of their tireless efforts that he was slowly becoming a reality. The night before yesterday, when Wang Huaiyuan had sent over the latest intelligence report, Li Gui County had already been completely captured. Other than the three dead brats that had died, all of the other officials in the entire county had already written blood and pledged their allegiance to Xiao Letian.

Up until now, Xiao Letian had already used a year's time to dig out ten counties from Zhi Li and make them into his territory. Yi County, Dingxing, Ba Zhou, Xu Shui … As for Ning He, Yu Tian, Jing Hai and the current Tanggu, there were already ten regions that had become Xiao Letian's actual areas of control.

It would take at least another year for the situation to take a turn for the better. Xiao Letian would be able to control at least 90% of the counties in a short period of time.

Xiao Letian was a very pragmatic person who did not hold back. What he cared about was the local taxes, population, specialties, and the actual control of resources. He would let these places remain under the control of the Great Qing for a long time. He could not strip the Emperor of his new clothes.

Those County Commanders would kowtow to the Emperor and Shangguan Bing, and express their loyalty as much as they wanted. Xiao Letian did not care about that at all, but he had to secretly control the areas they were in. 's university and the others had not provided him with any talents yet.

When Xiao Letian's own talent development system started to provide an endless stream of knowledge, he would not mind changing his Shadow Kingdom's official system. At that time, he would become a hidden dragon behind the Great Qing.

But now, what Xiao Letian needed to do was to make more money and increase his strength. He couldn't afford to lose face with the Great Qing Dynasty. But just because he did not want to turn hostile did not mean that he wanted to be a grandson. When the enemies in the dark started to slowly push him, Xiao Letian would not sit still and wait for death.

”We need to find out how they leaked it, but more importantly, we need to figure out what we should do after we fix it. Right now, we should discuss whether we should withdraw the company back to Na Ba or stay here and work with them.”

The brothers became anxious at that moment. ”What do you mean, lord?” Just because of one or two rumors, we have to retreat? They were all wanderers who hadn't returned to their hometowns in a hundred years, yet they were running away gloomily after just returning to the Home Country? ”Sir, you don't even want the heart …”
