Lin Xiaocao met Tang Xin, a legendary figure of the royal family, in the palace.
After joining the royal family, his mentality had been changing intentionally or unintentionally. The most obvious thing was that he had let go of the rejection of the royal family in his heart. At the very least, he was also trying to let go.
He had been adapting to this change in identity. Regardless of the prestige of the War God King, he was only the third most powerful person in the royal family. Standing in this position, the royal family's wealth god could be considered an elder when she returned. It was entirely right for him to take the initiative to show his face.
When Lin Xiaocao arrived at the Imperial Palace, the Emperor and Tang Xin were sitting in the dining room. There were a few exquisite dishes on the dining table. Tang Xin, dressed in a black professional suit, was quietly sitting in her seat, lowering her head and drinking soup.
After hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and put down the soup bowl in her hand. She looked at Lin Xiaocao and whispered, "Lin Xuanyuan?"
Lin Xiaocao nodded and looked at the woman in front of him.
Cold, proud, confident.
This was Lin Xiaocao's first impression of her. She was naturally extremely beautiful. Even though she was no longer young, judging from her appearance, there were plenty of people willing to believe that she was not even thirty years old. Her facial features were exquisite, her skin was like snow, and her figure was slim and graceful. Using beauty alone might not be enough to describe her charm.
Extremely beautiful, this word is more appropriate.
She was extremely cold and arrogant. She sat there quietly without saying anything, but she was emitting a strong aura that seemed to be able to control everything at all times. Strangers were not allowed to enter, making people feel awe-inspiring.
A woman whose temperament, or aura, was so powerful that one could ignore her already beautiful face.
Tang Xin quietly sized up this young man who would immediately become overwhelmingly powerful once he left the royal family and returned to the Divine Continent Empire .
Lin Xiaocao looked at her calmly, her eyes firm and clear.
From another perspective, she was also invincible in front of him.
Her status in international finance was even higher than that of a wargod in the Dark World.
After all, no matter how glorious the War God was, the light and glory on his body originated from the failure to assassinate the Emperor.
Tang Xin had never failed in her field of expertise.
Not once.
Speaking of the royal family, Tang Xin was definitely a person that could not be avoided no matter what.
Without the emperor, there would be no royal family today. However, without Tang Xin, the royal family would definitely not be on such a terrifying scale.
"I'm Tang Xin."
After more than ten seconds, Tang Xin nodded and said, then continued to pick up the bowl and drink the soup.
Lin Xiaocao smiled and didn't care. Tang Xin was famous for her coldness and pride. Perhaps this was her only flaw. Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared in the royal family today. Instead, she would have led a super family surnamed Tang to fight against the royal family.
He pulled up his chair and sat down, took a sip of soup, and looked at the silent Emperor.
"What are you looking at?"
The Emperor was somewhat uncomfortable with Lin Xiaocao's strange gaze.
Lin Xiaocao didn't say anything. He chuckled. It wasn't a silly laugh, nor was it a mockery. Instead, it carried an indescribable emotion.
"Good spirit."
The Emperor simply ignored this and stared at Lin Xiaocao for a while. He nodded and said, "Stay a few more days and go back. Tang Xin will go to the United States in the next few days. Xiao Yu will also have to go there early."
Tang Xin's silent drinking of the soup slowed down slightly.
"Alright."
Lin Xiaocao nodded and carelessly said, "That group of prisoners were released just like that?"
"I can't suppress it."
The Emperor shook his head. "They are the most aggressive swords of the Skull and Bones Society. They mean a lot to them. To us, killing them means little. It's better to exchange them for some ransom. If the negotiations are good, Morgan and Rockefeller will offer a pretty good price. If you don't understand, you'll know what's going on with our royal army."
Lin Xiaocao was silent.
He knew that the Emperor was telling the truth. The creators and hero troops that were being detained in the Imperial Family were the sharp swords of the Skull and Bones Society, but they were only sharp swords.
Just like the imperial law enforcement squad and consul, this was the most offensive weapon in the Emperor's hand. When needed, he could rush to England without holding back his elites and leave important figures of the imperial family on the Imperial Armament Mountain.
But the defenses on Imperial Armament Mountain had weakened?
Not at all!
In the end, it was still meaningless.
About 10,000 elite troops were stationed at the mountainside of the royal family, The remaining 40,000 people were also stationed at several military bases not far from the Imperial Armament Mountain. Soldiers, military, and legions were not straw platoons with crude handguns, but real legions armed to the teeth. Fighter planes, armored vehicles, helicopter gunships, missiles, and all kinds of heavy firearms were available.
They were the true defenses of the royal family.
Anyone who thought that the Emperor had taken away all the experts and elites of the Imperial Clan to defend the emptiness of the Imperial Armament Mountain would definitely be a fool.
Law enforcement teams, magistrates, side-by-side kings, War God Kings, Taurus archers, and even the Emperor himself. They were all swords, not used to defend, nor had they ever defended.
The same was true of the prisoners who were being held in the mountains, They're swords too, Kill them, Even if we don't consider the secret support of the US government to the Skull and Bones Society, it will at most be to make the Skull and Bones Society have no absolute elite strength for a period of time. Their defensive methods are completely undamaged, and the Imperial Clan cannot do anything to them. So killing them is not meaningless, but it is not meaningful. It is more in the interest of the Imperial Clan to ask for an astronomical reward.
The royal family wanted money, and the Skull and Bones Association wanted their swords. This was a situation that both sides could accept.
Families, or consortia, had developed to such an extent, and without the intervention of the state apparatus through war, it would be too difficult.
Even if all the elites of the Skull and Bones Gathering were to show up, their goal was to stop the trade between the royal family and England, kill the emperor, and destroy the royal family. The other party would definitely have thought about it, but they could only think about it.
"How much is the ransom?"
Lin Xiaocao drank the soup and said carelessly.
The Emperor shook his head and looked at Tang Xin.
"The number will not be too small."
Tang Xin gave a rare smile. Speaking of which, He seemed to be in a good mood. "Morgan and Rockefeller invested an astronomical amount of money and resources in the Hero and Creator armies, "Absolute elite, absolute loyalty. Even money can't buy it back. Since there is a possibility of redemption now, they must be ready to be ruthlessly slaughtered by us. Moreover, this money will definitely not be paid by Morgan and Rockefeller, but by other families of the Skull and Bones Association."
"Huh?"
Lin Xiaocao looked at her doubtfully.
"Sniping the royal family, It was the collective will of more than a dozen chaebol in the entire Skull and Bones Society, at least in their internal meetings, But it was Morgan and Rockefeller's top two armies, Now that the other party had failed, That would certainly require them to bear the consequences collectively, Morgan and Rockefeller, "The others can only pay obediently, so the ransom will definitely come from the other families of the Skull and Bones Association. This is also an opportunity for the two Giant Mac Families to restrain the development of the other families. This is our mutual understanding. The more we want, the happier they will be."
"It's really complicated."
Lin Xiaocao shook his head, "Where is their bottom line?"
"We haven't started yet."
Tang Xin took a sip of soup and said, "I will go to the United States in the next few days. Little Yu will go there early. I will only know about these things after I have talked to them."
Lin Xiaocao graciously said.
Although the United States is the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society, This negotiation was also very important, but King Shoulder-to-Shoulder brought the entire law enforcement team over. Under the premise that the Creator and the hero troops were detained in the Imperial Armament Mountain, he had sufficient ability to allow this negotiation to proceed smoothly. After the negotiation was successful, there was no need for the two sides to completely tear their faces apart. Wang Fuyu could also slowly develop in the United States.
"Oh right, back in Nine Continents City, Yang Wuwei invited you to join Gale?"
The Emperor stopped talking about the prisoners and suddenly asked, as if he remembered something.
Lin Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, "It seems like this is the case."
If the Emperor didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten.
"Join Gale? What do you plan to do?"
The Emperor frowned and said thoughtfully.
"Vice captain, or instructor."
Lin Xiaocao said, "I didn't think it was necessary, so I pushed it."
'"I think you should think about it. Your senior brother's position makes people jealous. Gale is a good springboard. However, the vice captain is low. Tong Tian has been the captain of Gale for the past few years. It's time for you to come out. You should choose between the captain and the instructor."
The Emperor said indifferently.
Lin Xiaocao frowned. The sharpness in his eyes flashed and he looked at the Emperor without saying anything.
It was true that he was the War God King, but that didn't mean that everything had to be arranged by the Emperor.
"Think for yourself. Your Senior Brother's position has been controlled by your bloodline since the founding of the People's Republic of China. If you hand it over to an outsider now, Elder Ye probably won't accept it, right? I can tell you the importance of that seat, Controlling the Divine Continent Guardian, It's not an army, It's an organization, How complicated are all aspects of the interior, It's something you can't imagine, Let's put it this way, Every meeting of the empire's highest policy bureau, If your senior brother is interested, It's totally open, He was ranked alongside the top members of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureaux at the meeting. He was above the members. In terms of real power, it would not be too much for him to be one of the most powerful people. Number one and number two were prominent, but he needed to consider too much. He needed to pay attention to balance and stability. However, the protection of the Divine Continent was different. It was an irregular power, or rather, an unfettered right. "
The Emperor smiled and looked at Lin Xiaocao, his eyes filled with playfulness, "Moreover, Tong Tian will definitely not fight for your senior brother's position. His goal is not here either. If he doesn't go, Bo Long doesn't go, and you don't go either, the person who will go will be Lin Fengxue's eldest son in the Lin Xi'nan ." "That position is not changeable. Imperial Guardian, your senior brother has only worked for several decades. It will be much harder for him to get the position in the Lin Xi'nan and move the Lin Clan in the southwest."
'"..."
Lin Xiaocao was silent for a long time before he calmly said, "When will Wang Tongtian come out?"
"Just watch the arrangements. After returning, discuss it with your Aunt Chen. You can come out now."
Lin Xiaocao let out a cry. Wang Tongtian, Tongtian. With just these two words, one could tell the Wang Clan's eldest son's goal. His goal was definitely not limited to the military. He was bound to enter politics and strive to ascend to the divine altar in a few decades.
The Gale Squad was a team at the deputy regiment level. The rank of lieutenant colonel. Wang Tongtian, a 26-year-old graduate student who had just graduated from Gale Squad, would be transferred from Gale Squad to the local level. He would be a cadre at the deputy division level or even at the regular division level at the age of 26. This would be a huge advantage.
"Let me think about it."
Lin Xiaocao pushed the bowl of soup forward, stood up and nodded to Tang Xin, "Let's go."
"Wait."
The Emperor also stood up and walked to the living room. He took out a folder and handed it to Lin Xiaocao. "Take it back and take a look. You can only look at it yourself. After reading it, burn it."
Lin Xiaocao's heart trembled.
What he could only read was that even Wang Jinxiu was not qualified to have access to this information.
He took it, nodded, and walked out quickly.
The Emperor slowly walked to the restaurant and sat down. He looked down at Tang Xin, who was dazed at the soup bowl, and smiled. "What do you think?"
"Too young, like a big child."
Tang Xin was silent for a moment before commenting.
"You're right."
The Emperor laughed, clearly satisfied with this evaluation.
"You put him in such an important position, don't you..."
Tang Xin frowned.
"It's fine."
The Emperor waved his hand and interrupted Tang Xin. "I know what to do," he said calmly.
He looked at Tang Xin, and the complexity in his eyes flashed.
Actually, there was something he didn't say. Lin Xiaocao was indeed a child, and in Tang Xin's eyes, she was still immature.
However, there were always some children who were regarded as immature by adults. They would use their immature methods to shatter all the so-called mature people or groups into pieces and never recover from their calamities.
That kind of method was not steady, but it was sharp enough!
Just like she did back then.
