C565 Message from Dragon Lord (1/2)

With all these women making a ruckus, Xiao Letian's appetite was completely gone. He arranged for the women to send Qing Wen off to rest, while he himself brought Dragon Lord back to the wine table, where Xiao Letian even personally poured wine and cloth dishes for him.

”Come come come …” Taste the cooking skills of a new chef, the taste of scallion burning sea cucumber is really authentic … This trip to Shanghai has been hard on you! ”How was the harvest?”

After taking a few mouthfuls of food and wine, Dragon Lord gave a long sigh. ”I am incompetent, I did not complete my mission …”

”How could that be? Did you encounter British intervention? Or was there a martial arts expert? Isn't it just that eagle that can travel alongside you in Jiangnan? ”

The Dragon Lord said with a wry smile, ”There are countless strange things happening in the green forest, there are many people who are much more powerful than me … ”It's not because of what happened in the green forest, nor is it because of the British. It's just that I don't think we need to do it anymore …”

The target that the two of them talked about was none other than the nation selling specialist, Gong Cheng. When Xiao Letian had just arrived at the Ryukyu, he had secretly ordered the Dragon Lord and a group of experts from Discipline Hall to travel to Shanghai by boat.

The order Xiao Letian gave was to capture him alive. He wanted to punish this dog in front of all the citizens of the Ryukyu, but Xiao Letian knew that Gong Cheng and the Englishman had a deal.

Thus, there was a compromise in the order. If capturing him alive was not feasible, he would kill him on the spot. But with Dragon Lord's skills and the cooperation of the torture chamber, there was no possibility of him getting away scot-free.

”You must have your reasons. I believe your judgement …” With that, Xiao Letian poured Dragon Lord another cup of wine.

Xiao Letian now no longer had that immature appearance from back then. He had been fighting with the emperor and generals for a long time, and adding on that the power he had gained was increasing, the current Xiao Letian already had a very strong aura of a person in power.

Since Dragon Lord did not complete the mission, not only did Xiao Letian not punish him, he unconditionally believed in Dragon Lord's judgement. This kind of trust was really hard to come by.

Sometimes, in order to win over the hearts of the people, what one needed was not money or a position. One could usually win the hearts of the people with a single sentence.

”It's not that I can't kill Gong Cheng, but it's actually not that difficult to capture him alive … But the current Gong Cheng, dying is actually a form of relief to him … ”

”Why?” Xiao Letian asked in confusion.

Dragon Lord curled his lips, the expression on his face looked like he had eaten a fly, extremely disgusting. That Gong Cheng is already at the late stage of Flower Willow Disease.

”Huh?” Xiao Letian was stunned.

”In the past, I didn't believe in retribution for karma, but today, I finally believed it. Gong Cheng called herself Gong Banlun, said that she loved one of her concubines since she did not love any one of the Five Elements, so she called herself Gong Banlun … ”But it was precisely this Half-Moon that he loved that ended up bringing him misfortune …”

”A concubine that I married in an alleyway, his humanity has long been dyed completely by the pool of black water. Even though Gong Cheng was extremely considerate towards her, he's already old, and may not be able to satisfy the needs of a woman under the bed … ”This woman actually stole a man in Shanghai. Even the foreigners were infected …”

”The flower willow's poison that the woman infected from the outside also infected Gong Cheng in the end. Before he went to Ryukyu, he had always been using foreign medicine at a high price to suppress his illness, but after the tragic defeat at Ryukyu, he miserably fled back to Shanghai.

Xiao Letian finally understood that in an era where there was no penicillin, there was no cure for this kind of viral disease. People could only slowly control it with medicine.

The way Gong Cheng returned from his defeat was definitely not good. Furthermore, the Englishman was already getting annoyed with him, and it was obvious that he was being cold towards him. The reason why Gong Cheng worked so hard at Ryukyu was actually to prove to his European masters that he was still useful.

The seller had been unable to turn back from the moment he sold his country. The Home Country would never forgive him, and the foreign country had only used him.

”I understand what you mean now, the British and French have abandoned Gong Cheng, his concubine has also abandoned him, and he is currently suffering from a serious illness and is suffering from a fate worse than death, so death is a form of release for him, living is hell …”

Dragon Lord nodded his head: ”Not only that, Gong Cheng has no money now, he had a group of men under him who wanted to live a life with him, and the leader was the water dog. In the past, when Gong Cheng was rich and powerful, they were all extremely loyal, but now they are all gone, and even Gong Cheng's last bit of money was taken away by the water dog …”

”Sigh …” Xiao Letian sighed, ”This kind of person is Sky Law, we don't have to do anything anymore. We can just send a message to the Ryukyu to create a kneeling statue …”

Xiao Letian did not know that in the true history of the country, Gong Cheng had actually died of syphilis.
