Chapter 451 Dinner

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

This night's Hidden Dragon Sea broke the silence and solemnity of the past because the Emperor had visited Nine Continents City for the first time in twenty years.

Countless guards with grim expressions became makeshift waiters. Some of the people who have been subjected to rigorous political scrutiny have been busy since the morning, Some of the families in the Hidden Dragon Sea were also busy setting up banquet venues. The welcoming ceremony for the emperor was extremely grand, but it was not the same as the visit ceremony of the leaders of other countries. It was unique. Every corner of the banquet hall emitted a dense and cordial aura, and because the banquet hall was busy, the power center of the empire shrouded in the darkness had a different aura of life from before.

From dusk to night, under the lights, countless luxury cars drove over from different directions. The gate in front of the Hidden Dragon Sea was surrounded by all kinds of luxury cars, forming a huge flow of cars that spread out nearly a hundred meters.

Audi and red flags hung on the plates of the Empire's Six Ministries, the Development Committee, and the Kyushu City Committee. The military vehicles on the plates were conspicuously red, representing the status and wealth of Rolls-Royce, Maybach, and Bentley. All the cars were parked neatly and obediently under inspection. No matter how arrogant a person was, they didn't dare to be presumptuous when they arrived here.

The welcome banquet held in the Hidden Dragon Sea tonight could definitely be said to be a grand banquet that spanned the empire's politics and economics for two terms. The huge resources of the northern royal family were open to the empire, and it was definitely a win-win cooperation between the empire and the royal family. As for this cooperation, every big shot invited to the banquet tonight had their own thoughts and plans in their hearts.

Half past seven.

The door to the Hidden Dragon Sea slowly opened.

The neat and orderly traffic kept a tacit silence. One after another, they entered the Hidden Dragon Sea. Apart from the sound of the engine of the vehicle, no one else whistled impatiently during the entire process.

The banquet was held at Hidden Dragon Sea Qing Hua Pavilion

This can be said to be one of the largest buildings in the Hidden Dragon Sea.

There was still half an hour before the banquet began, but the Qing Hua Pavilion was already decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. The large-scale banquet held in the Hidden Dragon Sea did not have much luxurious atmosphere, and the ancient fragrance revealed the solemnity of the Hidden Dragon Sea merging into almost every inch of the air.

Tonight, the important figures of the serious world who were eligible to enter this place stopped at the parking lot 150 meters away from Qing Hua Pavilion. Afterwards, the men and women dressed in luxurious clothes formed a stream of people and whispered to each other as they walked towards the banquet venue.

"President Wu, don't be too nervous. Tonight is just a welcoming dinner. Where did you bring the proposal to the banquet? On the first day of the Emperor's visit, tonight is definitely just a ceremony. There won't be much time to talk about serious matters. Even if we have to talk about it, we'll go to the War God Palace tomorrow."

"Oh? What you said makes sense. It seems that President Zhao didn't bring any business plans with him. I wonder what's in his wife's bag? Although everyone was a competitor in some projects, they were still familiar with each other, right? There's no need to be late with the phantom trick, The royal family and the empire were on guard against each other for the first two decades, Now that we're officially working together, Although we won't talk too much about serious matters tonight, it is the consensus of the upper echelons of the empire and the emperor to give this cooperation a good start on the first day. Therefore, we should talk more or less about it. We will at least finalize several projects with an investment of 500 billion yuan tonight. President Zhao is well-informed. Could it be that my company is a leather bag company without special channels? "Heh, I heard that President Zhao is very interested in a large-scale scenic spot and a high-end apartment project of the royal family. What a coincidence, so am I."

...

"Secretary Liu, I heard that the Emperor has brought a reclamation project with him this time? I wonder if our group will have a chance?"

"Heh, there is a reclamation project. It's a big project. Of course, President Qian's group has a chance, but your family can't eat it. In short, try your best to fight for it."

...

"The royal family has made a lot of money this time. It's more than 70,000 square kilometers of land. There are opportunities everywhere. Everyone must compete in a healthy manner. Even if one project fails, there will always be other projects suitable for everyone. Don't you think so?"

"That's right. Minister Gao is right. Minister Gao, I heard that the royal family is cooperating with the empire this time to prepare for their return to the empire. Is that true?"

"Oh, something that hasn't been written off yet. Be careful."

...

The banquet hall of Qing Hua Pavilion, which could accommodate five to six hundred people, gradually became lively.

Spontaneous circles slowly formed. Everyone had a graceful demeanor, chatting and laughing.

Everyone here was undoubtedly here for the royal family's projects, but apart from that, the possibility of cooperating with various large groups was something that everyone would pay attention to.

The banquets of the giants were full of business opportunities, but at the same time, there were also many shocking schemes.

8:00 p.m. sharp.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the Emperor, the nine great emperors of the empire, Wang Tianxiong, War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan, and the others all appeared.

The Empire's Supreme Head, Lin Qingtian, walked side by side with the Emperor. Lin Xuanyuan and Wang Tianxiong followed behind the two. Behind them, several giants appeared in the banquet hall according to their rankings.

There was a tall platform in the middle of the hall, full of flowers, and the microphone was placed in the most obvious position. Without a doubt, that was where the protagonist spoke tonight.

Lin Qingtian, who was chatting with the Emperor with a smiling face, was the first to step forward. He knocked on the microphone, swept his gaze around, and subconsciously paused.

The applause of the audience rang out almost at the same time.

Lin Qingtian smiled and waved his hand. He was still in his seventies and looked very energetic. He leaned closer to the microphone and smiled, "Tonight is a welcome banquet. First of all, on behalf of the ruling party, the Cabinet, and the Central Military Department of the Empire, I warmly welcome the arrival of the Renaissance."

He was the first to applaud, and the applause from the crowd instantly became even more intense.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the position of the emperor, but they could only see the emperor standing there quietly, his expression calm, not showing the slightest bit of joy or anger.

Most of the people present knew that after the Emperor arrived at the Hidden Dragon Sea from the airport, he pushed aside most of the tedious welcoming ceremonies, and the upper echelons of the Hidden Dragon Sea even held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureaux on an ad hoc basis.

It was a meeting of the Standing Committee, but in fact, it could be said to be an ordinary meeting. The Emperor was also invited to participate. Although the Emperor should not talk about sensitive topics on his first day in the capital, it was impossible to say that the several giants and the Emperor were sitting together just talking about family matters.

Everyone was guessing how rich some of the chats were. Now that the emperor and the giants had appeared, those who wanted to see something from their faces were immediately disappointed.

Lin Qingtian smiled again and stretched out his hand to press down. "I believe everyone understands the significance of this welcome dinner tonight, After the Empire came into contact with the northern royal families, The two sides agreed on the need to strengthen cooperation, After the initial negotiations, Fuxing personally led a team to Nine Continents City to investigate, "The cooperation between the empire and the royal family this time is very extensive. From the people's livelihood field to the military industry field, there are more than 30 areas of comprehensive and multi-faceted cooperation. The empire and the royal family attach great importance to this cooperation. I hope that this cooperation is healthy, upward-looking and ultimately a win-win cooperation."

He paused for a moment. On this occasion, Lin Qingtian obviously didn't intend to say anything nonsense. Before the applause, he extended his hand and made an invitation gesture. He smiled and said, "Please revive and say a few words to everyone."

The applause that engulfed the entire arena sounded once again.

In everyone's eyes, the calm-looking Emperor calmly walked onto the platform, knocked on the microphone, and said indifferently, "The Imperial Tang Xin will arrive at Nine Continents City in 48 hours. At that time, she will represent me to discuss cooperation matters with everyone. Of course, everything is fine with Xuanyuan, so be it."

He nodded and walked down without saying anything else.

Finished?

That's it?

Everyone looked at each other. After a few seconds of hesitation, they began to clap their numb hands.

Amidst the applause, the Emperor had already walked to a corner of the banquet hall and sat down.

The only person sitting with him was War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan.

Could it be that before the banquet, the chat between the Emperor and the Supreme Head of State was not pleasant?

Many people subconsciously began to associate.

"Talk collapsed?"

While everyone else was imagining this, Lin Xuanyuan, who was sitting opposite the Emperor, directly asked. He poured a small glass of juice for the Emperor and himself. He asked casually.

"Not really."

The Emperor shook his head. Looking at the juice in front of him, A little helpless, Lin Xuanyuan did not drink. Therefore, when pouring the drinks, Mao Tai didn't touch it at all. He picked up the juice and took a sip. He said calmly, "This is the first time we've talked about this. Both sides are at the probing stage. There aren't many substantive things, so it's not a breakdown. I can only say that neither of them has achieved the other's goals. Furthermore, I can feel that Lin Qingtian has some things to say."

"Huh?"

Lin Xuanyuan looked at the Emperor doubtfully.

After being invited to a meeting of the Policy Bureau Standing Committee not long ago, He was no longer interested in participating in the second meeting. When he arrived at the Hidden Dragon Sea, it was already close to six o'clock. At that time, the meeting between the Emperor and the various giants had already begun. He simply did not go in and slept in the lounge for a while. After he got up, he followed the Emperor here directly. Therefore, he did not understand the contents of the meeting.

"He asked me to talk to him alone tomorrow. I'm guessing he's going to make a bid."

The Emperor held the drink and smiled.

Lin Xuanyuan remained silent.

Lin Qingtian's bid was naturally based on the death of Yun Shanluan .

No matter how unbearable Yun Shanluan's character was, he was still one of the elders of the empire. The price he offered at the cost of his life was definitely not low, and it was definitely not something that the royal family was willing to bear.

"There's a problem with Yun Shanluan 's death."

Lin Xuanyuan was silent for a long time before he said indifferently.

"Of course there's a problem. You wouldn't have acted so carelessly. I'm almost certain that Lin Qingtian and Lin Fengxue were responsible for Yun Shanluan's death."

The Emperor said indifferently, but his words shocked the heavens.

Lin Xuanyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the Emperor with burning eyes.

"But it 's pointless, Lin Qingtian, Lin Fengxue, "This group is absolutely meticulous. It's impossible to find any clues. Yun Shanluan is dead. This is the truth. We can only suffer this loss. If we leave a clue, he won't be able to get to where he is today. Xuanyuan, I know Lin Qingtian better than you. So, take back the manpower of the War God Palace."

The Emperor said calmly.

Lin Qingtian clenched his fists and remained silent.

"I heard that Lin Congzheng looked for you in the afternoon?"

The Emperor stopped talking about this topic and asked about Lin Congzheng with a playful look in his eyes.

"Yes."

Lin Xuanyuan replied in a dull voice. The kneeling in the afternoon when Lin Congzheng was kneeling resounded. He remembered his shriek and tears flowing down his face as he said that he wanted to protect his family. He remembered the plea he had made to you.

He lowered his head and drank some juice. After a long time, he whispered, "Give him a chance to see what he's doing."

The Emperor took a deep look at Lin Xuanyuan and nodded casually. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "How do you feel after obtaining the Balance Method?"

Lin Xuanyuan, who was deep in thought, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sharp eyes of the Emperor. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Try."

The emperor nodded, "I heard your foster father and Liu-Li mention the peak technique. There are a few supreme techniques in the peak technique. Without the assistance of the balance technique, you can't execute them. Now that you have practiced the balance technique for less than two months, you are still far from being able to do so."

Scorching battle intent instantly rose from Lin Xuanyuan's pupils.

He recalled a peerless technique that he knew but couldn't use in the past, and said indifferently, "There are some things that are barely usable."
