C565 Message from Dragon Lord (2/2)

Dragon Lord ate the noodles in front of him like a tornado, and then used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, ”Master, this time in Shanghai, there was another unexpected gain, a person took the initiative to look for me … It's the Red Peak merchant, Hu Xueyan! ”

”Hmm? It's him … What did he want with you? ” Xiao Letian immediately became alert, this Hu Xueyan was not simple, he was currently the most influential merchant in Southern China, especially in the Jiangnan region. Furthermore, he had a close relationship with Zuo Zongtang, and in the future, Zuo Zongtang would enter Xinjiang randomly, which was what Hu Xueyan was going to do.

Historically, Hu Xueyan had been born in the long hair and chaos, and had been weakened by Guang Xu's eight years of war on threads. According to the time that had passed,'s career had been in the ascendant period of his career, and his imposing manner had also reached a whole new level. Wasn't he afraid that the backstage boss would cause trouble for him?

Xiao Letian lightly tapped his finger on the table, thinking for a long time yet unable to find anything. ”What did he say?”

Dragon Lord looked left and right, discovering that no one was eavesdropping, he immediately said in a low voice, ”Li Hongzhang's Huai Army has entered the capital … The three thousand elite soldiers divided into zero, disguised as a commoner, and secretly made their way to Beijing!

With a crash, Xiao Letian knocked over the tea bowl in front of him. In the end, Li Hongzhang still stood by Ci Xi's side. Right, right, how could I forget about this matter? Since Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang have a private grudge, then it would make sense for Hu Xueyan to provide me with information … ”

”Dammit, is this old granny Ci Xi about to go crazy? She was forcibly attacking the Jingshan! Go... Immediately summon Wang Huaiyuan, the Punishment Hall cannot hide anymore, we need to make full use of this opportunity … ”

Without saying a word, Dragon Lord disappeared into the night, while Xiao Letian also started to change into his military uniform. Not long later, the girls from the inner chamber also heard the commotion and ran over to serve his.

”What happened to me?” You still want to go out so late? ”I'm not sleeping at home anymore …”

”Mm, the military situation is urgent. I must leave now …” Keep guard at home, don't let your thoughts run wild... Oh yeah, I'm afraid I won't have time to come back during this period of time. I'll ask the Four Seas Trading Company to arrange a good boat for you guys to go to Ryukyu and accompany Second Madam … ”

”Hat... Seeing how pitiful all of you are, this year you have all suffered a lot, go to Ryukyu to relax, this is also our home, moreover it is safer than Tanggu … ”Bring the gun here...”

As Xiao Letian armed himself, he comforted the girls in the inner chamber. He finally understood that if he wanted to do their work properly, he had to open their eyes first.

”AHH!” Really, master, we can also go abroad … Is it safe to sail on the sea? Could it be the Siren …? Can you see the Dragon King Yaksha? Is that Ryukyu the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain … ”

Xiao Letian looked at the house full of excited chattering women, his heart feeling incomparably warm. No matter how big a man's career was, he had to be able to protect something in order to be considered complete. Whether he could protect the citizens, Xiao Letian did not dare guarantee it yet, but protect a home.

Walking on the streets in the early autumn, the night breeze was already chilly. Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths, then looked towards the direction of the Western Beijing and muttered to himself, ”My wife, you and Eldest Uncle must hold on, and wait for me …”

Maybe it was because her heart was linked to something. In Beijing, a few hundred miles away, high above Jingshan, Xiao Letian's wife Fu Hui was kneeling on a limestone in front of him.

”I don't have a drink, but there's no one in Yenan that night.”

”Please have mercy on me and bless Xiao Letian. If you have any sins, please do it with me. I am not a person to be known. All sins are caused by me. Please only punish me …” ”Wuu!”

In the night wind, Fu Hui's devout prayers were mixed with deep weeping sounds, the faint grudges made everyone who heard cry.

Inside Kiki's tower, the tired-looking Empress Dowager Ci An was playing with his buddhist beads in his hands, thinking about something. Beside his, Zhou Daoying and a few eunuchs were carefully attending to his, all of them looking haggard.

”Oh Empress Dowager, please drink some water …” We've already finished all the tea leaves, so there's only some clear water left … Wuu! This old servant felt very uncomfortable … ” Zhou Daoying held a bowl of clear water and cried softly.

Ci An did not say anything. She opened her eyes and looked at Fu Hui who was reciting scriptures outside the hall: ”Send it to Fu Hui. If I did not summon the two of them, they would not have stuck each other … As long as Foreign ministers does not rebel, as long as he does not stand as a team, Ci Xi will not be able to do as he pleases! ”

On the surface, she was only looking at Zhou Daoying's back, but in reality, she was constantly looking at the Fuqing who was under the pine tree checking for guns and ammunition.

Not knowing what had happened, every time Ci An looked at Fuqing, his heart would feel hot, especially the parts that had been grabbed by Fuqing.

”This damned foe …” Ci An's heart was filled with hidden bitterness, but as soon as the word ”damn” popped out from his mind, she subconsciously covered his mouth, and secretly spat a few times in his heart.
