The King of Special Warfare

City in the Sky.

The most high-end clubhouse in Xuanyuan City.

As the chief secretary next to the Prime Minister, Yuan Lin is naturally not a real bumpkin. He has been to countless so-called high-end clubs, but he has never seen such a club that can bluff people.

A real floating castle.

That kind of white is not dry, but a warm and soft white that seems to reflect light. The light flickering under the castle base reveals an indescribable magnificence in the gradually falling night.

Yuan Lin was silent for a long time before he said softly, "How did you fly?"

"It's an optical illusion."

Xiao Xu laughed softly: "Under the castle is a new type of alloy, which has introduced Zhongzhou's most advanced optical camouflage technology. The alloy is doped with a large amount of invisible materials. The entire castle is basically made of white marble, which can provide a stable light source. , the interior is reinforced with a super alloy, and in this state, whether it is day or night, the invisible alloy below can maintain an invisible state, so it seems to us that this castle is floating."

"They... dare to think..."

Yuan Lin said with difficulty, Zhongzhou's most advanced optical camouflage technology is the Dongcheng family's technology, and it is still classified as a secret, and it is basically used in some cutting-edge weapons, so the East Palace is used to build a club?

"If you dare to think about it, you have to have money. This castle plus nearly five tons of alloys and some technologies cost more than 700 million yuan. There is also a saying about the height of the castle. The height of the castle is 200 million yuan. Two meters, which is just beyond the attack limit distance of the ordinary air-controlling and ice-condensing realms. The alloy below the castle is also equipped with an automatic weapon system. The security guards are all elites selected by the East Palace, and they are rotated regularly. This clubhouse can be said to be the safest place in Xuanyuan City except for the East Palace and City Hall. The membership fee is a full 100 million in the first year. Thirty million a year..."

Xiao Xu shook his head, feeling a little emotional.

"One hundred million?"

Yuan Lin gritted his teeth, looking at Central Continent and even the whole world, there is no clubhouse that dares to ask for a membership fee of 100 million, and there will be an annual fee of 30 million after that.

Xiao Xu squinted his eyes, nodded and said: "It is said that it is the idea of ​​the little princess Wang from Beihai. She proposed a new city plan, and the city in the sky is also part of this plan. A membership fee of 100 million seems a lot, but according to our Survey, in the past two years, more than 200 applications have been received here,

However, less than one-tenth of those who can actually become Sky City members will conduct a preliminary review at the convenience of the clubhouse, and the final decision on whether to accept a new member rests with the East Palace. "

"What's the point?"

Yuan Lin's mind was still a little dazed, and various thoughts kept wandering in his mind, and finally became no idea.

"This is the alliance of the Eastern Palace."

Xiao Xu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Mere financial resources are not enough to join the city in the sky, but also have enough value. The East Palace will gather all members together to achieve a state similar to resource sharing, thereby forming a diverse community." The Alliance, this is only the first club. The plan of the East Palace is to spread the sky city all over the country. At that time, it may be divided into first-level clubs, second-level clubs, or even third-level clubs. Different levels have different thresholds. A circle of interests surrounding the East Palace, alliances of all levels will continue to operate, creating a steady stream of benefits for the East Palace, under such circumstances, the annual membership fee is not worth mentioning at all, because everyone can count times or even dozens of times to earn back."

Yuan Lin's complexion changed, he was startled and angry, and said hoarsely: "This is tantamount to extracting the resources of Central Continent to create benefits for Xuanyuan City. If this alliance is big enough, it is almost equivalent to an invasion, yes..."

Xiao Xu turned his head and glanced at Yuan Lin.

His eyes were sharp and calm.

"It can't be considered aggression."

He lowered his voice and said softly: "Unless Yuanting regards the Eastern Palace as the enemy of Central Continent."

Yuan Lin's expression froze for a moment.

Xiao Xu took a deep breath, said no more, took out a badge from his pocket, and took Yuan Lin a few steps forward.

The light from the base of the castle enveloped the bodies of the two of them.

The delicate badge also shines.

In Yuan Lin's bewildered expression, a crack suddenly appeared in the air where there was nothing in front of him.

The crack grew bigger and became a door.

The entrance is a simple but not monotonous grand hall.

A row of young girls in uniform smiled sweetly: "Welcome."

Yuan Lin walked in silently and walked into the elevator.

The elevator goes up all the way and formally enters the clubhouse.

Dazzled all the way, Yuan Lin entered a box under the guidance of a waiter.

In the box of the study of a great nobleman in the middle ages in Europe, a middle-aged man with a stern face was typing on the keyboard with both hands while facing the notebook in front of him.

He was obviously familiar with Yuan Lin. When he heard the door opening, he just glanced casually, nodded and said to sit down, and then continued to be busy with the work in hand.

Xiao Xu poured Yuan Lin a cup of tea, and quietly retreated out.

Yuan Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip. Amid the strong tea fragrance, he finally regained his composure.

Amidst the intensive keyboard tapping, Yuan Lin glanced at him and asked, "Dahai, are you a member here?"

"To be exact, the first batch of members."

Liu Dahai responded with no expression, the two are college classmates, and they are bunk beds in the same dormitory. The friendship for many years no longer needs any politeness. He shook his hand, took a sip from the teacup in front of him, and sighed. : "There are eighteen members in the three batches of Sky City. I am the first batch and the last one. To be precise, this quota is not mine, it belongs to the cabinet. I am only using it temporarily."

"Have you paid?"

Yuan Lin raised his eyebrows.

"certainly."

Liu Dahai sneered: "A total of 100 million, the special funds approved by the cabinet, Xuanyuan City is very confident now, and it is only natural to take the money."

"There's a lot of resentment."

Yuan Lin said with a smile: "The cabinet paid for you to come here to enjoy, what are you not satisfied with?"

Liu Dahai typed a line on the keyboard, seemed dissatisfied, and deleted it completely.

He clicked the save button, turned off the computer, picked up a lot of materials and sat on the sofa opposite Yuan Lin.

"It's not resentment."

His voice was low and muffled: "To be exact...it's dissatisfaction, and also a little fear."

He opened the drawer and took out a box of top-quality cigars provided for free by the clubhouse, without speaking for a long time.

"Be specific."

Yuan Lin glanced at him and said slowly.

Liu Dahai is a typical scholar-type cadre. Although he has an excellent relationship with Yuan Lin, such a person is basically unlikely to be classified into any group and become a confidant of a certain group. He has no specific position in the cabinet. Investigator at the Vice-Governor level.

In the past two years, Liu Dahai spent most of his time in Tiannan.

To be exact, it was in Xuanyuan City.

He formed a research team with an elite drawn from various departments. From the beginning to now, he has been conducting research in Xuanyuan City.

Some important materials that do not involve the secrets of the Eastern Palace are basically provided by Liu Dahai to Zhongzhou.

The East Palace obviously knew this too, and had no objection to the arrival of Liu Dahai, who didn't have any group brand on him, but he didn't support it either, as if he didn't see it.

In the past hundred years, Liu Dahai has submitted more and more reports to the cabinet, from about one report a month at the beginning to three or four reports a month now, basically one report a week.

Yuan Lin came for two purposes this time, the first was to represent Chen Fangqing to secretly meet with a certain important person from Tiannan, and the second was to get in touch with Liu Dahai to gain an in-depth understanding of the current situation in Xuanyuan City.

"Xuanyuan City..."

Liu Dahai lit the cigar, and in the smog, he thought seriously for a long time before slowly saying: "In the past six months, Xuanyuan City has changed a lot, very big..."

"Everything you see now was basically built in the past six months."

"City Hall's urban planning report to the cabinet is only a part, not complete, as I have said in the report."

"Half a year ago, Xuanyuan City was being demolished all the time. Apart from the construction of the East Palace, they only built an area near the city hall."

"I collected some relevant information and information, and observed some investors who entered Xuanyuan City in detail, and then asked Xiao Wang to make a relatively simple model, which can roughly analyze the financial resources of the Eastern Palace, Xiao Wang. You should know that the senior investigators of the Ministry of Finance are very professional in this area. Judging from the financial resources of the East Palace half a year ago, their construction of Xuanyuan City is quite normal, and that kind of construction speed allows them to retain some relatively abundant funds. funds."

Liu Dahai took a sip of his cigar: "But the situation suddenly changed half a year ago. The city hall began to introduce various projects continuously. The urban planning images were thrown out as if they had been prepared a long time ago. The whole city was being demolished. Near the city hall The downtown area of ​​the city changes every day. Famous designers from all over the world are running to Xuanyuan City. They gather to design different buildings, streets, and greening. Said to make the entire Xuanyuan City a luxury."

"A lot of money is thrown out without money at all. Let me give you an example. During the two years of Xuanyuan City's development, in the past six months, they have spent much more money than in the previous year and a half, probably more than the previous one and a half years. Six times the cost in one and a half years."

"And in the past six months, some wealthy families have reduced their investment in Xuanyuan City under certain pressure, and the transfer of benefits from the five Eastern European countries has not increased significantly, and Central Continent has also not allocated funds to Xuanyuan City..."

"So where did the money come from? This is not a little more money out of thin air, but hundreds of billions of money out of thin air. Judging from the current situation, it may be more than hundreds of billions, because the transformation of Xuanyuan City is getting faster and faster. It seems that the East Palace has never worried about not having enough money."

"Such a huge amount of funds means that there must be more than one top consortium behind the East Palace supporting the development of Xuanyuan City..."

Liu Dahai hesitated for a while, and his voice was a bit complicated: "What I am most worried about and most afraid of is whether the wealthy family that secretly supports the finances of the East Imperial Palace and Xuanyuan City is the wealthy family of Central Continent..."

His voice was a little hoarse: "If not...then Xuanyuan City that has been built is still Xuanyuan City in Central Continent?"

Yuan Lin was startled suddenly, and raised his head to look at Liu Dahai.

Liu Dahai lowered his head with a strange silence.

In this case, it almost means that Liu Dahai is accusing the East Palace of treason and taking refuge in an overseas consortium.

He thought about the possibility, and shook his head subconsciously: "Could it be the Wang family of Beihai? They definitely have the strength."

"The financial situation of the Beihai Wang family is very stable, and there has been no fluctuation in the past two years. Of course, they also paid for the construction of Xuanyuan City, but most of their support for Xuanyuan City comes from the military. It is possible for the East Palace to be funded by the secret power of the family, but it may not be great. Such a large sum of money is not a small amount for the Wang family of Beihai, and it is not logical to give it to the East Palace for nothing."

"So...you suspect foreign consortiums?"

Yuan Lin was thoughtful.

"Half a year ago, this node was very critical. Everything in the East Palace was normal, but I had no way to know the information about Desert Prison and Li Tianlan."

Liu Dahai said calmly.

Li Tianlan...half a year ago...

Yuan Lin's heart moved: "Half a year ago, the military division went to the desert prison."

"Who is the military division?"

Liu Hai narrowed his eyes.

"have no idea."

Yuan Lin shook his head: "Not sure yet."

Liu Dahai looked at Yuan Lin silently for a while, the military division is the Heavenly King of the Reincarnation Palace, not someone from the Central Continent system, how could such a person go to the Desert Prison?

Immediately, he thought of Dongcheng Invincible, felt powerless for a while, shook his head, changed the subject, and said slowly: "Not to mention where the money comes from, the current planning of Xuanyuan City does not seem to be building a city."

"Um?"

Yuan Lin glanced at him.

"I feel that the development direction of Xuanyuan City is completely like an independent kingdom, or in other words, it is a foundation that belongs only to the East Palace itself, with the entire city as its foundation."

Liu Dahai said.

"New town plan, I know."

Yuan Lin nodded.

"No, you don't know, or in other words, the reality is more exaggerated than you imagined, and it is a lot more exaggerated."

Liu Dahai took a deep breath, flipped through the information in his hand, and confirmed the data: "According to our research results and their urban planning map, most of the buildings in Xuanyuan City are unscientific and unreasonable. , It was a waste of a lot of resources. You should be able to see when you come that there are no tall buildings in Xuanyuan City, and the distance between buildings is so large that it is almost extravagant. If this city is built, it can only accommodate 150,000 people. People, the limit should not exceed 250,000."

"Compared with Youzhou, the area of ​​Xuanyuan City can accommodate at least 8 to 10 million people, and here, the limit is only 200,000 people. This means that Xuanyuan City alone occupies several parts of Central Continent. The living space for ten people, and what's more, the East Palace didn't intend to let the city's population reach its limit at all."

"Do you know what is the most precious thing in Xuanyuan City now? It's not money, it's household registration. In the future, Xuanyuan City's household registration has not yet been clearly released by the city hall. The household registration requirements will be unbelievably strict, and there are countless families who want to join Xuanyuan City and settle here, but what we know is that there are very few families who have really obtained the promise of the city hall and can settle here in the future."

"The city hall is already considering the issue of household registration, followed by the issue of social welfare. It is foreseeable that, just like this city that is almost a luxury, the social welfare of Xuanyuan City will also be astoundingly high. Because they are small, more than 100,000 to 200,000 people, with the financial resources shown by the Edom Palace, even if they are given free food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is still possible."

Liu Dahai's words paused, and suddenly said: "Do you know what this means?"

Yuan Lin's face was gloomy, and he nodded: "This means that the East Palace has not considered things outside of Xuanyuan City, including Zhongzhou, for the time being. The East Palace considers the environment of Xuanyuan City first, the environment of Tiannan, and then the environment of Tiannan. It's Central Continent."

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Wolf's ambition is obvious!"

"Some insider information indicates that to join the household registration of Xuanyuan City in the future, you must first become a part of the East Palace. It must be someone from the East Palace."

"This point should be a recent change made by the East Palace, not an initial part of the new city plan. It may be the military adviser from the Samsara Palace, or the new patriarch of the Lin clan, or it may be Li Tianlan's own idea. They I have learned the lessons of the game between the Central Continent and the North Sea Wangs."

"East Palace wants to make Tiannan a part of itself completely, naked, not as reserved as Beihai Wang."

"A province...everyone is a member of the Eastern Palace, at least one of their family members will work in the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace builds the best city, the most luxurious conditions, and the highest social welfare...this Everything is like a dream, if... I mean, if this scene continues, many years later, the people in the southern province will be immersed in this kind of life, and they are used to it. When the East Palace is treated like that, what will happen to the people of the East Palace whose best living conditions have been destroyed?"

Yuan Lin's body trembled slightly.

"them..."

Liu Dahai's voice was a little difficult: "Compare your heart to your heart, they will tear up everyone who wants to destroy their living environment like a lunatic, regardless of life or death, regardless of the consequences, and no matter what!"

Yuan Lin suddenly felt a chill that penetrated to the marrow of his bones.

There was a long silence in the box.

Yuan Lin smoked a cigar, stretched out his hand and took the pile of documents in front of Liu Dahai.

"It was a worthwhile trip."

He forced a smile, sorted out the information, and said solemnly: "After I go back, I will give these to the Prime Minister as soon as possible."

Liu Dahai nodded, and asked with some doubts, "Aren't you going back now?"

"I made an appointment to meet someone here."

Yuan Lin smiled and looked down at his watch: "There are still ten minutes."

Liu Dahai immediately understood the meaning of his words, nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go first."

Yuan Lin stood up with a smile and walked him all the way to the door before reaching out to hold the old classmate's palm, and said softly, "It's hard work."

After a pause, he continued to laugh and said, "But your time in Tiannan should not be too long."

Liu Dahai smiled, turned and left.

Yuan Lin restrained his smile, returned to the box with a heavy heart, picked up the pile of documents, and looked at them carefully.

What he himself didn't want to admit was that there was already a touch of fear in his heart.

For him, the stronger the East Palace is, the brighter the future will be, and the darker his future will be.

It's different from Liu Dahai.

Unlike most people.

He is Chen Fangqing's secretary.

It took less than 24 hours for Li Tianlan to leave the desert prison.

Chen Fangqing has lost three immediate family members.

Chen Lijuan even died in front of him.

The bloody and ferocious aura rushed towards his face, with a strong desire for revenge, Yuan Lin could clearly feel the danger and tragedy in it.

East Palace, Beihai Wang family, prime minister.

These three parties are now the real life and death.

If Chen Fangqing fails and falls, it is foreseeable that Yuan Lin's future will be bleak, and this is still the best result.

If there is a slight error, not to mention that the future is bleak, whether he can survive is a problem.

Yuan Lin lowered his head and carefully studied the information in his hand.

His body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth.

"You're scared. You're angry. Does that mean you don't have confidence in what's going on?"

A voice with a faint smile suddenly sounded.

Yuan Lin's body shook violently, and he raised his head reflexively: "Who?!"

There was a sound of deja vu in the box.

Yuan Lin thought of the heavy snow in front of the cabinet office almost instantly.

The extremely fierce wind and the extremely sharp edge.

The invisible wind in front of me is not as sharp, but much thicker.

He thought of Chen Lijuan, whose body had thousands of penetrating wounds.

Yuan Lin's face was pale, and his eyes were a little frightened and desperate.

A figure was quickly outlined where Liu Dahai had sat.

It was a tall and slender figure.

Seemingly non-existent fluctuations enveloped his whole body, like starlight, like clouds, no one could see his appearance clearly.

He was sitting opposite Yuan Lin, vaguely, Yuan Lin could see him smiling.

He smiled and nodded, seemingly polite: "I'm just a lobbyist."

Night fell.

The shining light of the city in the sky is becoming more and more magnificent and dreamy.

The Passat was still parked there, Leaning on the seat, listening to the music, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Li Kuangtu tapped lightly on the edge of the car window, wondering what he was thinking.

The thick and violent sound of the wind blew from afar, blowing into the sky city.

Lixiao instinctively opened her eyes, her eyes vigilant.

"he came."

Li Kuangtu said indifferently.

Li Xiao frowned, and said softly, "It's a little strange."

"It's not real."

Li Kuangtu shook his head, his fingers were still beating on the edge of the car window, and one after another of transparent sword energy slowly spread out along the car window, continuously extending upwards, and entering the sky city.

The space in the box twisted silently.

There is no wind.

The air is twisted into a vortex at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The vortex kept turning, becoming more and more chaotic.

Numerous scattered lines outline the figure of Kuangtu Li, which looks more and more real.

Yuan Lin was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said respectfully, "I have seen Your Highness."

Kuangtu Li raised his head and looked at Yuan Lin quietly. After a while, he nodded slightly and said casually, "Sit."

Yuan Lin seemed to have adapted to the unusual appearance of the two guests, and sat down slowly.

"It's not you who dated me."

Li Kuangtu glanced at Yuan Lin, and then his eyes fell on the cloud of stars in front of him.

It was a cloud of starlight that even he couldn't see through.

"I asked you out."

In the mist, His Majesty smiled sincerely: "I am a lobbyist. Your Highness, since you are here, you might as well listen to what he has to say. The price offered by Prime Minister Zhongzhou is usually not low. If you can reach an agreement directly, I would like to remain silent the entire time."

Li Kuangtu carefully examined His Majesty's figure.

The sword air was densely intertwined, forming an extremely vague field.

The other party is obviously not the real body.

It's the same sword energy projection as him.

Kuangtu Li watched quietly, not knowing for a while whether the other party did it out of caution, or came to show his strength in front of him.

He was silent for a while, looked at Yuan Lin, and asked directly: "What does Chen Fangqing want to say?"

"The Prime Minister hopes to have in-depth cooperation with Tiandu Purgatory."

Yuan Lin said in a respectful voice.

Li Kuangtu moved.

The projection of sword energy suddenly became illusory, but his face became more and more real: "For example?"

Yuan Lin couldn't adapt to the opponent's straightforward rhythm, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "The Prime Minister hopes that you can participate in the decisive battle in Beihai. At least for now, he has the same position as you. If you can make the East Palace disappear, the Prime Minister Willing to make an offer you can't refuse."

Kuangtu Li snorted lightly, and said calmly, "Be more specific."

"As long as the East Imperial Palace and Beihai Wang's disappear, the Beihai Wang's core industry, he can decide to give Tiandu Purgatory a part, and at the same time officially accept Tiandu Purgatory to re-enter Central Continent, and be responsible for the development of Tiannan."

Yuan Lin took a deep breath and said calmly: "That is to say, if you can satisfy the prime minister, the prime minister will definitely satisfy you. If the East Palace does not exist, the future Tiannan, including Xuanyuan City, will belong to the purgatory of Tiandu. gone."

"Sounds good."

Li Kuangtu said indifferently.

Yuan Lin took a sip of his cigar, and in the faint smoke, his voice was a little low: "The Prime Minister can do this."

Li Kuangtu was noncommittal.

Looking at it now, Chen Fangqing's promise is undoubtedly a bit ridiculous.

However, if the East Palace and the Beihai Wang family disappear, Chen Fangqing can indeed do this by then.

Cooperating with Chen Fangqing means joining the alliance of His Majesty in front of you.

Li Kuangtu quickly thought about the pros and cons.

He suddenly glanced at His Majesty in front of him and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"I just have one question."

His Majesty said with a smile: "Now the whole dark world thinks that Li Tianlan will become the new Tianjiao. Your Highness, have you really seen, or understood, the limit state of Tianjiao?"

Tianjiao's limit state.

Kuangtu Li's pupils shrank slightly.

Before he could speak, His Majesty had already laughed: "You don't want to see it."

He smiled and said: "I can guarantee this, so, this is the reason for our cooperation this time."
