Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Politicians did not have any leave of absence, and joyous celebrations were a feast for the common people in the army. All the cities in Germany held grand celebrations, and many of the States's borders even held ceremony for the removal of boundary tablets.

The people were having a good time, importing quite a few fireworks to celebrate the sale of the Chinese. That night, nearly all the large cities in Germany held a fireworks party, and the cold winter night did not extinguish the flames in the hearts of the people.

However, Xiao Letian did not have a good life. At nine o'clock at night, after all the celebratory ceremonies had ended, he actually got on the special train, under the protection of a large number of soldiers, and headed straight towards the Eastern Switzerland!

This was a very dangerous journey. Bismark had advised him before to not take the risk and let an envoy travel in his place. After all, there were still some resistance in France.

But on this mission, Xiao Letian did not feel at ease at all. He had to personally meet with that person, a key person!

The train departed from Paris and headed straight for the border city of Belfort. The areas they were passing through were all under the control of the Prussian army.

They had entered the territory of the Switzerland from the east of Belfort. The Basel train was heading southwest, heading straight for Geneva, a famous city on the lakeside.

The guest that Xiao Letian had secretly met was in Geneva!

The wheels of the train were spinning at high speeds on the rails, creating a loud clanging sound. The carriage shook rhythmically, and the French land outside the window was shrouded in darkness.

All the towns and villages were under light control, and only a few spots of candle light could be seen occasionally. It seemed that the control over the railway line was very strict.

This war had caused too much damage to France's economy. Looking at the agriculture in the entire northern part of France, more than 60% of the farmland was barren and left untended.

The population of many villages had been reduced by two-thirds, and the entire village was in a state of desolation!

Just as Xiao Letian was deep in thought, a ball of fire suddenly lit up in the distance outside the window, and a few seconds later, a loud explosion sounded.

The Dragon Guards immediately closed the curtains and blew out the lights. The interior of the carriage fell into darkness!

"Explosions... Unknown direction due north... Unknown... "Immediately change the carriage …"

The Dragon Guards protected Xiao Letian, Xiang Ying and the other military officers who were bent over their waist. The leader's life couldn't be saved in the slightest.

Another two explosions occurred in the distance, followed by the sound of gunshots. It took half an hour for the train to completely leave, and only then did the Prussian army, who was guarding the train, lift the alarm.

"Reporting to the leader, it should have been our garrison and the guerrillas fighting. The target wasn't our train …"

"Fire? What happened to the explosion? Did the guerrillas have cannons? Or was the armory attacked by the enemy? I want you to upgrade your security at once... " Xiang Ying began to negotiate with the officials of the German Army in a stern voice.

The solemn German Army official said fearfully, "It's already the highest level. Tonight, all the troops along the railway line are on the highest alert. We swear to protect the Patriarch's safety …"

Xiao Letian waved his hand: "Alright, stop talking, this kind of situation is also hard to avoid. After all, this is France's territory.

"Have you translated all the newspapers I haven't read?"

"Master, it's already half past eleven. Please take a rest …" Xiang Ying said in a low voice.

"Just look a little longer. Tomorrow night, we will be in Geneva. The preparations must be sufficient!"

There were a lot of translated European newspapers beside Xiao Letian's hand. These two days, the Government of Spain had fought back fiercely, and all the newspapers in Europe had detailed reports of the assassination attempts on the General Prim.

Seeing the random words written on the article, Xiao Letian's lips curled up. He thought that his Master was angered and wanted to urge Xiao Letian to ask him for some wine.

"What a good essay!" Spaniard was not an idiot. She knew that she couldn't just take scoldings and not retort. When General Prim was ambushed, they finally had a chance to retaliate … "It's good, it's worth a drink!"

"We Chinese are afraid of Juan. Prim's army? Hahaha, Spain can still send Expeditionary forces? Even if all of their main battleship are combined, they wouldn't be able to hold our ship far … "

"Even if they have warships, do they still have money? If you have the money, go fight their civil war first! "

"Juan." Prim knew the Philippines? He was found in a coup d'état in Spain, and then he was exiled for six years. Did he really think he had gone to Asia to familiarize himself with the terrain? "

"The structural and institutional problems of the colonial government in the Philippines are not something he can solve. What about the lousy governor system?"

Xiang Ying poured a glass of red wine for his master and said softly, "We don't believe you, but European people doesn't understand how to do it! They think that we are assassins because on the surface, we are the beneficiaries! "

"So Master, you should release the news as soon as possible!" "Block their mouths …"

"No rush, no rush …" "The day after tomorrow, when news of heavy weight appears in the newspaper the day after tomorrow!"

Just as the wheels of the train were rolling as Xiao Letian headed towards Geneva, at the beautiful lakeside of Lemon Lake, a beautiful private villa belonging to a noble clan was being protected by fully armed soldiers. A noble guest was listening to the sound of the waves in the lakewater late at night, looking at the stars that filled the sky.

A Madiao! The second son of the King of Italy, heir to the Savoy dynasty, Duke of Austar!

This is Juan. The King of Spain that Prim had appointed already had the support of his allies, and now, this young Duke was preparing to go to Spain for the throne.

The young king, who had been watching the Franco-Prussian war, was also watching Prussia's attitude. He was afraid that Prussia would win and continue to demand that the Hohenzollern family succeed the throne. If that happened, he would not dare to challenge Prussia's decision.

However, Bismark didn't expect that after the war broke out, he wouldn't care about the choice of the Spanish throne anymore. It didn't matter to him at all.

A Madiao who was slightly more at ease started to prepare the ships to go to Spain to ascend the throne. However, she did not expect that the calamity would descend from the skies and a war would break out between the Chinese and Spain in the Philippines.

A Madiao, who had a weak personality, knew that Xiao Letian was not to be trifled with. He was a ruthless person who could form an alliance with Prussia.

How did he start a war with Xiao Letian? A Madiao really didn't understand, but he very quickly received a secret letter from the Head of the Guards. Xiao Letian invited him to meet with his family in his traditional territory, Geneva, before he ascended the throne.

The Savoy dynasty possessed a large amount of land belonging to the Southern Bank of the Lake Geneva, which was the feudal fiefdom of their family for a very long time. It was because the secret meeting was held in front of their own home that the King of Spain had the guts to meet Xiao Letian.
