"How will tonight's matter end?"

Sitting inside Aston Martin's car, Lin Xuanyuan sat in the back row and rubbed his slightly inflated temples. He asked in a tired tone.

He was already seriously injured, Although he didn't speak much at tonight's meeting, his attention was still highly focused. The five-hour meeting, coupled with the smoke of cigarettes that hadn't been cut off in the meeting room, made him feel dizzy. Now, he was sitting in the car and falling down the window, causing his entire mind to tremble.

"Your question is precisely what the royal family will consider next."

Wang Tianxiong, who was sitting beside Lin Xuanyuan, replied with a smile, Aston Martin, who had been modified by the Royal Cancer, was not only one lap bigger in appearance, The back row had also been tampered with, more spacious than the original car, Now, Lin Xuanyuan, Wang Tianxiong and the black robe that looked like Ye Liuli sat in the back row. But it didn't seem to be congested at all, Before Wang Tianxiong spoke, He subconsciously glanced at the black robe beside him. Seeing that Lin Xuanyuan had no reaction, He continued, "Now that we have set the question, The change of the head of the Nine Continents Prison, the replacement of the higher-ups of the prison, the final treatment of Yun Shanluan, the renaming and reorganization of the Cabinet and the Six Departments are all questions that we threw to the southwest faction. How can Lin Qingtian hand over this answer sheet is the most important thing? This fellow was beaten into a daze tonight. How could someone who can become the supreme head of the empire be so unbearable? In my opinion, the last sentence of the meeting is the one that best reflects the wisdom and status of the supreme leader. It seems to concede, but because of his status, he firmly holds the initiative. So what if the Standing Committee leader has more votes than the other party? "The power to open the voting system has always been in his hands. He said no voting, that the meeting will end, and no one can do anything about it. The southwest faction seems to have retreated, but we didn't get anything tonight. The southwest faction is best at seemingly miserable but actually unharmed retreat. This has been practically the case every time since the conflict between the Ministry of Officials at the beginning of this year."

"Not this time."

Lin Xuanyuan was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Huh?"

Wang Tianxiong was puzzled.

"Yang Xiuyuan!"

Lin Xuanyuan only said one name. However, Wang Tianxiong seemed to understand something. After some thought, He nodded and said, "Indeed, Yang Xiuyuan is very determined, No matter how much of a puppet he was, He was also the number two figure in the empire, and the leader of the southern faction, Moreover, Yang Xiuyuan wasn't as simple as he looked. after so many years of struggle, Yang Xiuyuan remained neutral, This could be said to be a weakness of heart, But it was precisely because of his neutral actions, The southern faction gained the favor of the neutral faction, No matter how weak the neutral faction is now, At least two bureaux stood there, The energy they bring along, In addition to the southern faction, It could definitely set off a storm within the empire, As long as this was the beginning, the royal lineage could rise to prominence, The cabinet reshuffle, There shouldn't be much suspense, Crucially, after the restructuring, Personnel arrangements between the various ministries and departments of the Party and the Empire, This is the most important political significance of the Cabinet reshuffle, "This is also the most direct contest between the major factions. The southwestern faction will definitely seize some sensitive positions. The southern faction will also have their own demands. The royal faction and the next Son of Heaven faction will also have a greater say. This is the most lively time. Tonight's meeting is only a prelude, or rather, a beginning."

"In other words, we had a five-hour meeting tonight, but in the end, we didn't decide anything. How many Standing Committee giants, along with our Senior Brothers and Second Master, are talking nonsense with each other?"

Lin Xuanyuan's question was honest.

The upright Wang Tianxiong could clearly sense that the black-robed man beside him was trembling slightly, as if he was smiling.

"Well, you can't say that."

Wang Tianxiong waved his hand awkwardly. describing the five-hour meeting of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureaux as pure bullshit, Even Wang Tianxiong was a little embarrassed. After all, according to Lin Xuanyuan's logic, Over the past 20 years, He sat down with the giants and talked nonsense. "Policy Bureaux are the highest levels of the empire, "But it's not like a few Policy Bureau Standing Committee members sitting together and saying a few words can decide everything in the empire. How can politics be as simple as you think? Especially the high-level meeting, where the internal twists and turns are even more complicated. To some extent, this meeting is nonsense, but it's actually not. At the very least, it serves as a signal."

"Simply put, both the Standing Committee and the plenary meetings of the Policy Bureaux are concerned with the game between the various major factions, as well as the game between the empire's central and local authorities. Although the empire is now centralized, the influence of democratic centralism is still deeply rooted in the past. Why would the instructions given by the higher-ups go astray when it comes to the local authorities? This was the game between the higher-ups of the empire and the locals, No mountains, no dew, but it has far-reaching implications, Basically, every major decision that could affect the empire as a whole, Pending discussion at the Bureau Standing Committee and plenary meetings, The giants of each side had to communicate with the dukes of the local provinces below, Or face-to-face, Or on the phone, With a clear attitude at the local level, would be discussed at the meeting, Of course, there would also be unexpected situations. For example, tonight, regardless of whether it was the Nine Continents Prison or the Cabinet reshuffle, they were all unexpected situations that did not communicate with the dukes in advance. Fortunately, the Nine Continents Prison's Cabinet reshuffle actually affected the overall situation of the empire. Under such circumstances, the discussions that were proposed at the meeting were a clear signal. Bullshit? "Of course not, Xuanyuan. Tomorrow, you should pay attention to the newspapers and news broadcasts in the provinces. When the local dukes receive the signal from the higher-ups, they will immediately express their attitudes in the light of the actual situation. They will combine their factions and the forces in the provinces to make a clear voice."

"Voices in favour of a cabinet reshuffle have gained the upper hand, a cabinet reshuffle is imperative, and vice versa, Imperial politics, No matter how complicated it was, Actually, there is only one core. Top-down pressure, or bottom-up pressure, game is the eternal theme. News broadcast, provincial newspapers will often appear in a certain provincial party committee, a certain provincial government, a certain military region, a certain department to firmly implement the instructions of the ruling party center or cabinet. Do you think these words are Mandarin? These are all attitudes. "

Lin Xuanyuan didn't say anything.

Wang Tianxiong's words, He was clear about some things, but he wasn't too clear about others. However, from tonight onwards, the empire was destined to enter the special period of turbulence before the transition. Perhaps it would last until the end of the transition, or even longer, until the parties found a new balance before they calmed down.

Nine Provinces Prison, appointments to ministries after the cabinet reshuffle, appointments to the standing committee deputy prime minister vacant after the cabinet reshuffle.

This will be the focus of attention of the major factions over the next two years.

One Aston Martin, four Audi, 20 people.

War God King Lin Xuanyuan's convoy was getting farther and farther away from the empire's power center, the Hidden Dragon Sea.

The endless stream of traffic was gradually left behind.

The street in front of him suddenly became silent.

Under the dim yellow streetlights and on the wide and clean streets, everything was normal.

"Where are you?"

Lin Xuanyuan suddenly asked.

"We're almost there. There's a Ten Miles Bridge Tunnel ahead. After passing through the tunnel, we won't be far from the palace."

Lin Shuhua, who was driving in front of him, looked at the navigation of the dashboard in the car and said. Because there were no recreational activities in this area at night and the places where he operated during the day were relatively ordinary, he rarely came here and was not familiar with this place.

However, Lin Xuanyuan instantly sketched out a map in his mind.

In his mind, the map's meridians rapidly grew clearer and clearer.

When he first came to Nine Continents City, he had studied the map for an afternoon on the very first day he was protecting the second young miss of the Lin family in Nine Continents City.

At that time, he had started from the Heavenly Duke's Mansion and learned about the dense spider-web streets of Nine Continents City.

The main streets of Nine Continents City had been branded in his mind ever since.

Every place he went to, he had to first understand the city map. In this way, when he encountered a special situation, regardless of whether it was pursuing or escaping, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

This was an essential quality for a top killer.

Ten Miles Bridge Tunnel ahead.

Lin Xuanyuan's mind spun as the map in his memory expanded rapidly. He immediately confirmed the location of the Ten Miles Bridge Tunnel, and then used it as a starting point. In a few seconds, Lin Xuanyuan had already selected countless paths to the War God Palace.

However, regardless of whether it was a detour or a nearby path, this region, and the Ten Miles Bridge Tunnel at the very front, were the only paths they could take.

Ten Miles Bridge Tunnel, As the name implies, Above was a flyover with the distinctive features of the imperial capital, Below was a straight-ahead tunnel. The overpass above was not ten kilometers long. To be exact, it was ten kilometers long, and the tunnel below was nearly five kilometers long. With the current vehicle fleet, it would take at least one minute to two minutes for the vehicle fleet to advance at a speed approaching two hundred kilometers while maintaining the basic fleet formation.

And here, there was clearly still a distance to go from the tunnel in front of him.

"This place is not bad."

Lin Xuanyuan said, "It's very suitable for an ambush. Senior Brother, do you think they have the guts to block me?"

"If it was me, since I've decided on the target, I'll bet on it in this situation."

Wang Tianxiong narrowed his eyes. He laughed softly and said, "A good place, "It's quiet in the middle of the night. It's very difficult to ambush heavy troops. If we call for reinforcements, it would take at least 20 minutes to half an hour for reinforcements to arrive. It would be quicker to deploy helicopters, but there will always be more than 10 minutes. Ten minutes is almost luxurious. Why not bet on it?"

Wang Tianxiong paused and continued to laugh, "Unless their target is not you."

Lin Xuanyuan smiled and patted Lin Shuhua on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Painting and calligraphy, inform all vehicles to be on high alert. Speed up the car appropriately and lure them out."

Lin Shuhua nodded. He turned on the intercom device on the vehicle and said seriously, "All vehicles, all vehicles, pay attention. The convoy is entering a dangerous area that is easy to be ambushed. Everyone, be on guard and pay attention to safety. Vehicles should speed up appropriately and rush over."

"Roger that."

"Understood."

Several voices sounded at the same time.

"They seem to have accelerated."

Lin Xuanyuan's motorcade passed by. In a dark corner, he looked at Aston Martin, who was clearly accelerating. He said mockingly.

"Speed up? They're all here, can they still leave?"

The black-robed man smiled faintly and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the convoy in front of him. He said darkly, "You can start hunting now."

After a moment of silence, Adelaide picked up the walkie-talkie and said calmly, "I'm Red-robed. What are you doing?"

"Team 1 is ready!"

"Group two is ready!"

"Three teams are ready!"

"The gathering group is ready!"

"The commandos are ready!"

A series of voices rang out, clear and organized.

"Very good."

Adelaide's eyes, which had always been hidden under his red robe, suddenly narrowed, and his killing intent overflowed, "Move!"

As he spoke.

"Bang!"

A dull sound resounded through the night.

In the next second, countless gunshots rang out, and dense bullets shot towards Lin Xuanyuan's motorcade like raindrops.

In a dark corner, red-robed Adelaide raised a shoulder-mounted bazooka and aimed it at Aston Martin, who was in the middle of the convoy. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Let's go, Battle God!"

Pull the trigger!

"Bang!"

Amidst the intense noise, the bazooka dragged its usual fiery red tail flames and charged straight at him!
