Chapter 345 Trump Card

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The first meeting room in Hidden Dragon Sea sounded very sacred and dignified, but the actual area wasn't too big compared to the status of this place. It was less than 120 square meters, which was enough under any circumstances.

Since the founding of the empire, there are not many standing members of the Policy Bureaux at the magnate level, Interested in imperial politics, It could even memorize the giants of every Policy Bureau Standing Committee, Twenty years ago, Li Donglei's group of five, Because Xue Zhiguo, who was then the supreme head of state, could not be re-elected, the seven-man regiment and Lin Qingtian's nine-man regiment in the mid-term were counted. However, these were just a few people. Adding on the staff responsible for recording the meeting, more than a dozen people were killed. The size of this meeting room was definitely enough to meet the requirements of every meeting.

The host of the meeting room was facing the door. a rectangular pattern, Twenty meters of space, All the Standing Committee giants stood up almost at the same time, But when they got to the door, Lin Qingtian, who was the farthest away from the door, became the first. The rules of the bureaucracy looked shallow and even boring, but in every situation, everyone had to pay attention to them. The empire's officials who were judging their seniority had chosen the wrong position to offend the authority of the leaders. The consequences were very difficult to describe. Sometimes, not to mention standing in the wrong position, even if one sentence was wrong, it was very likely that they would lose their official title.

The Divine Boat Empire had once had such an example. Its vigor, and even its inheritance to this day, was decades ago. At that time, the Wang Clan, the empire's number one clan, had only collapsed a few years ago. The Emperor had not even chosen to revive the Wang Clan. At that time, the Emperor had not even reached adulthood yet.

Not long after the most intense political game since the founding of the People's Republic had subsided, the Wang family had disappeared along with a large faction that could be said to be of great importance in the empire at that time, and the empire's political arena had stabilized.

It was a passionate time when all the major factions stepped onto the stage one after another, and at that time, Wu Yue had never been as dazzling as he was today.

At that time, Sun Zhiping, then the supreme head of the empire, inspected his hometown of Wu Yue and personally attended the official opening ceremony of the Silver River Bridge in Yinjiang City of Wu Yue and cut the ribbon. At that time, Yang Lifeng, then the first secretary of Wu Yue Province, shouted for Sun Zhiping to step down three times in a row at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Just how sensitive is the word "step down", At that time, Yang Lifeng probably didn't notice at all. Head Sun Zhiping didn't say anything at that time, However, less than a month after this incident, the original First Secretary was jerked off to the end and only one representative was left. The director of the conference was not only idle. Since then, the development of Yinjiang City had also become exceptionally slow. It was only twenty years ago when the Wang family took root in Wu Yue that Wu Yue's entire province entered the path of rapid development.

It is said that after Secretary Yang Lifeng invited Head Sun to step down, the then Head Sun once privately said: Let me step down? Wasn't this Yang Lifeng getting impatient when he became the first secretary in Wu Yue? Are you in a hurry to step down and replace your young comrades? "

Even though Elder Sun was still recuperating abroad, he had long forgotten about this matter. However, a dignified Governor-General was directly jerked to the end. It could be said that he had used his political future to ring the alarm bell for all the newcomers.

Hidden rules in the bureaucracy.

Official rules.

Official principles.

The sequence of such matters could not be mistaken.

So when this formation appeared in the first meeting room of the Hidden Dragon Sea, Even Lin Xuanyuan wasn't surprised. Being able to make Lin Qingtian give up his position in the War God Palace was naturally impossible to say. However, neither Ye Nianlun nor Chen Hua Lou lacked this kind of courage. Most importantly, it was because his status in the official circles allowed him to be so unscrupulous.

On the way to the door, the gloominess on Lin Qingtian's face quickly disappeared. When he received it, he had already put on a friendly smile.

"Elder Ye."

As he walked out of the meeting room, Lin Qingtian smiled and shouted. His tone was warm and respectful. It had always been the traditional virtue of the empire. Ye Chunqiu's qualifications were placed there. If he was unhappy with his seniority, few people in the entire empire would be able to handle it. At the very least, this meeting room, including him, Lin Qingtian, was going to lose face.

An old man who retires from a high position has no real power?

These words were theoretically correct, but they were truly laymen. Even if those veteran cadres who had retired from high positions did not have any prominent positions, the factions behind him still existed, right? Those confidants who had been promoted over the years were still there, right? When they said this, the entire faction would carefully consider it over and over again. Very often, the voices of those veteran cadres who seemed to have retired basically represented the voices of the entire faction.

He had stepped down from a prominent position, but no one dared to underestimate his prestige.

Outside the meeting room, Ye Chunqiu did not respond.

The old man, who had been seriously injured by the red-robed ambush last night, became even more hunched. His entire body seemed to carry a rotten aura from the passage of time. He was old and weak. When Lin Qingtian called him, he turned around and quietly looked at another figure. His expression was filled with surprise and a trace of joy.

It was a figure shrouded in a black robe. The broad robe covered his body, and no one could even see whether he was a man or a woman. He stood quietly, not giving anyone the slightest threat, as if he was a statue.

This is...

The bodyguard that Lin Xuanyuan brought over was the only one who followed him to the meeting room.

Everyone's gazes immediately focused on the black-robed man, and their eyes flickered.

The three giants of the royal family.

An invincible emperor.

A world-shaking supreme wargod king.

And the increasingly unfathomable side-by-side king of the past few years.

The three of them basically represented the imperial clan's highest combat strength, but in reality, the imperial clan's experts were definitely not limited to this.

At the very least, according to what everyone knew, Ye Liu-Li was definitely not weaker than the King next to the Emperor. She was even more likely to be stronger than the King next to her. After the World-shaking Grade Seven Sovereigns list was released, many people believed that Ye Liu-Li was a hidden World-shaking Grade female Sovereign of the Imperial Family.

Apart from Ye Liu-Li, there was also Li Xiangsi, the former Grand Enforcer of the Imperial Law Enforcement Team. Who dared to say that he was an ordinary X-class expert?

How many experts in the Dark World would dare to easily win against Li Hu, who held the overlord position with one arm?

How terrifying was Gemini, who had already been proven to be an X-class warrior in the first battle of the 12 palaces of the Zodiac?

What about Qin Tianjiao, who was intimate with the royal family but was definitely one of his own?

Also, according to the top secret information of the empire, the Emperor's uncle, Wang Xuanwu...

In terms of the royal lineup of top experts, if the royal lineup was drawn up, it would be enough to numb the scalps of the secret service systems of any country in the world.

The abundance of top experts from the royal family made their position in the Dark World almost unshakable. No matter if it was the Skull and Bones Association or the elite clubs, they were incomparable in this regard.

And now, with all the World-shaking Realm experts of the Empire seriously injured and the World-shaking Realm experts with hostile positions hiding in Nine Continents City, a mysterious black-robed man suddenly appeared beside the War God King.

This was clearly the person responsible for protecting Lin Xuanyuan's safety.

Who was this?

To be able to protect Lin Xuanyuan while a World-shaking expert was hiding in the shadows, such a person was definitely not an ordinary X-class expert.

In this way, the other party's identity seemed to be on the verge of being revealed.

Imperial Clan, Ye Liuli !

In a black robe...

When Ye Liuli was young, she was also used to wearing black clothes.

The muscles at the corner of Lin Qingtian's eyes twitched fiercely. He subconsciously glanced at Lin Xuanyuan, who had a calm expression. He sighed secretly. That peerless hero from the north had really invested a lot of money to protect Lin Xuanyuan this time.

Among the Emperor's women, Chen Hualou, who was legally the only wife of the emperor, As the emperor's right and left arm, Empress Xia Qinwei, who had taken care of everything for him in the Dark World, even betrayed Sun Qingying, a doctor of nuclear physics, for the emperor's sake, or directly controlled the overwhelming Tang Xin, who had been an economic ship of the royal family for more than 20 years, or other confidantes of the emperor.

No one would deny their importance in the Emperor's heart. To the Emperor, these families were even more important than anything else.

But of all the women in the emperor's life, there were definitely two that were the most special in his heart.

One was Huangfu Lingxi, who was acknowledged to be the most favored woman among all the women beside the Emperor.

If Wang Jinxiu, the daughter of Huangfu, hadn't voluntarily taken over the Imperial Family Biological Laboratory, then Wang Jinxiu would have been doted on to the extreme by the Emperor for the rest of her life.

The other woman the emperor owed her the most and felt the most guilt towards her was Ye Liuli.

How special she was in the Emperor's heart was evident from the fact that their son, Wang Bolong, had been made the heir of the royal family from the moment they were born.

It was also because of this guilt that the Emperor would not let the terrifying Ye Liu-Li go out and fight others even if he went out to bleed with all his might.

It was precisely because of this that over the years, Ye Liuli had gradually been subconsciously forgotten by the people.

And now, in order to protect Lin Xuanyuan, the Emperor had actually let Ye Liu-li come to Nine Continents City?

If this wasn't blood, then what was it?

Lin Qingtian's eyes instantly became deep. Ye Liu-li was in Nine Continents City, so he had to think about a question. Where was the Emperor?

If Ye Liu-Li was in the open and the Emperor was in the dark, Lin Qing Tian felt that it was impossible for her to protect Lin Xuanyuan.

In silence, Lin Qingtian felt that someone was gently pushing him behind his back.

Lin Qingtian suddenly regained his senses. Looking back, Vice-Head Gao Changhe was still standing there with a smile on his face.

Lin Qingtian turned around and saw that Ye Chunqiu had already turned around. His face was a little pale and he was looking at him with a friendly smile.

"Sorry, Elder Ye, I'm a little distracted."

Lin Qingtian quickly calmed down. He walked over and supported Ye Chunqiu with Wang Tianxiong. He smiled warmly and said, "Elder Ye, how is your health?" I heard you were seriously injured last night, The comrades have been nervous for a day. You are a distinguished leader of our party and army, an outstanding revolutionary and military strategist. Your health is very important to everyone in the empire. Please pay attention to your own health. I have some precious medicinal ingredients with me. I will instruct someone to send them to you later. "

Lin Qingtian's tone was natural. Although he was not happy in his heart, it was impossible for him to show all of this in a childish manner. The two sides had different positions. Ye Chunqiu was invited to attend tonight, so the interests they fought for were naturally different. However, before the formal confrontation, it was necessary to show some respect for the Empire's founding fathers.

"Fuehrer, I have some work to report to you. After the meeting, I'll go to your place. As for the medicinal ingredients, I'll give them to grandfather."

The deputy head of the empire, Ye Nianlun , smiled. As Ye Chun Qiu's grandson, he was more qualified than anyone else to help Lin Qing Tian. However, if he was involved in politics, it would be inappropriate for him to step forward now.

"Alright, it's settled then."

Lin Qingtian smiled heartily. It was just a few medicinal ingredients. Although they were precious, he wasn't so distressed that he couldn't eat. Tonight's meeting wasn't a quarrel anymore. The southwest faction was now seeking negotiations and deals. Before the meeting began, he wanted to create a good atmosphere for the meeting.

"Thank you for your concern, Fuehrer. I know very well what kind of condition I am in. I can still survive for a few years. If there is a need, I am willing to contribute my last training to the empire at any time. I am a soldier. Even if I am old, I will not forget my duty to protect my country!"

Ye Chunqiu coughed and smiled weakly.

"Old Ye is very honorable and deserves to be learned by all of us."

Lin Qingtian smiled and complimented.

"Since that's the case, Fuehrer, I have a suggestion. How about we organize an event to learn Elder Ye's spirit throughout the empire?"

Within the giants, a gentle voice rang out, not hurriedly nor slowly, with a smile on his face.

Vice Prime Minister of the Empire, Chen Hualou.

Lin Qingtian felt a bit tired and helpless. Holding an activity to learn Elder Ye's spirit within the entire empire was undoubtedly helping the Wang Clan and Ye Nianlun succeed. Of course, he would not agree to such a thing.

But he had just said that everyone should learn from Elder Ye's high moral integrity, and now he was going back on his word?

He couldn't do such a shameless thing.

This woman was too good at seizing opportunities.

"If Elder Ye needs it, he can handle it as he pleases."

Lin Qingtian's smile remained unchanged. Without waiting for Chen Hualou to speak, he chuckled and said, "Elder Ye, please."

When he turned around, he subconsciously glanced at the black robe that was standing quietly. After some hesitation, he finally smiled and asked, "Is it Miss Ye? It's hot outside. If you like, can you come in and have a cup of tea?"

The black robe remained motionless and silent, as stiff as a dead man.

Dead...

Lin Qingtian smiled self-deprecatingly. When Ye Liu-Li first appeared, she was codenamed Corpse.

Looking at this black robe, it really looked more and more like it.

Behind the crowd, Lin Xuanyuan looked at Lin Qingtian and smiled mockingly.

As for the identity of this trump card tonight, it didn't matter to him. Anyway, it would always be exposed.
