Elder Master Xiao's smile didn't falter, but inwardly, he somewhat agreed.
His Xiao Family had been in Shu State for many years, not only commanding a large army but also possessing extensive connections.
Furthermore, aside from those who joined the Dingyuan Army, many of the family's children had become Civil Servants.

To outsiders, it was no exaggeration to describe such a behemoth, the Xiao Family, as the local emperors of Shu State.
