Chapter 664: Asking for a Blue Sky
Outside the conference room, Lin Zhiming met Zhao Jianlin.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk about things. Zhao Jianlin said to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming nodded and left with Zhao Jianlin.
At this time, the news of the attack on the dragon headquarters had already spread in the community.
More than two hours is enough time to spread a lot of news.
Countless people were shocked by the audacity of slaying the dragon, and even dared to attack the headquarters of the dragon clan.
All kinds of gossip spread in the market before the official announcement of the dragon clan, these gossip rumors are true and false, but almost all of them are bad news for the dragon clan, such as the dragon clan has suffered heavy losses, such as the dragon clan high-level people were killed.
The Dragons have given everyone in their headquarters a gag order forbidding them to reveal any details of the attack.
When Lin Zhiming and Zhao Jianlin left the Dragon Clan Headquarters together, Hong Zhizao of the Dragon Clan's Propaganda Office finally held a press conference on behalf of the Dragon Clan and announced the relevant details.
This time the attack was completely beautified, and the sneak attack on the headquarters of the dragon clan turned into a trap set by the dragon clan to lure the enemy deeper, and the dragon clan magnified the results they achieved, such as killing eleven martial king-level powerhouses and narrowing the damage they received, such as the casualties of hundreds of people were reduced to more than a dozen alive.
Such a press conference directly turned the entire operation upside down.
Many cheered and applauded the dragons, praising them for what they had achieved.
Of course, not everyone believes the official version, and some gossip is still circulating in the market, but under the unified propaganda of the official media, these gossip quickly turned into rumors.
This is the power of the dragons, and right and wrong have become playthings that can be reversed at will in their hands.
At this time, Lin Zhiming had already followed Zhao Jianlin back to Guo Lao's residence.
"This incident happened unexpectedly, so there are some things that we feel compelled to inform you. Zhao Jianlin said to Lin Zhiming seriously before taking Lin Zhiming into the house.
"Something?" Lin Zhiming looked at Zhao Jianlin suspiciously.
"Come in with me. Zhao Jianlin pushed open the door and walked into the house.
Lin Zhiming followed and walked in.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Zhiming saw the person sitting on the Taishi chair at the front.
Seeing that person, Lin Zhiming's pupils shrank slightly.
That person is Guo Lao Guo Ziwei!
"Old Guo, have you recovered?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"In fact, I've never been hurt. Guo Lao said to Lin Zhiming with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows, and instantly knew what was going on.
"Sit down. Guo Lao said.
Lin Zhiming nodded, walked to the side and sat down.
"Originally, there was no addition to the dragon king in our plan, and if you want to become a dragon king, you will have to wait at least many years, but I didn't expect Xiao Chentian to be able to persuade the upper echelons to directly change Guo Lao's position to the position of the dragon king, so that there are five dragon kings at the top of the dragon clan, and this fifth dragon king is very likely to be you, so Guo Lao can only come out to meet you. Zhao Jianlin said.
"It's out of your control, isn't it?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yes!" Guo Lao nodded and said, "Once you become the Dragon King, you will have the ability to influence the Dragon Clan's decision-making, so I must come forward, lest your kid become someone else's person." ”
Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Your old man can really hide." ”
"If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have stayed in the position of the fifth elder for so many years. Guo Lao said lightly.
"What are you guarding against, Zhou Wutong?" asked Lin Zhiming.
"More than that. Guo Lao shook his head and said, "The dragon clan has been corrupted internally, and everyone is the target of my defense. ”
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming was a little surprised by Guo Lao's answer.
"For so many years, everyone in the dragon clan has forgotten their original intention, they are keen on political struggles, keen on holding power, in this case, they even joined forces with the people of the Ministry of Supervision to frame design colleagues, the current dragon clan is no longer the dragon clan of the past, such a dragon clan disgusts me, and also makes me feel afraid, so when I knew that someone wanted to harm me, I took advantage of the situation and left the inner circle of the dragon clan. Guo Lao said.
Lin Zhiming nodded, he had actually roughly guessed Guo Lao's thoughts.
"In my original plan, you became the backup dragon king, accumulated contacts and capital, and accumulated enough friendship with Bowen while helping Bowen clear his name, so that if the two of you become high-level dragons in the future, with the strength of the two of you, then you may be able to change the dragon clan from the root, but what I didn't expect is that your progress is too fast, several years faster than I expected. Guo Lao looked at Lin Zhiming helplessly and said.
"Uh... I didn't expect that either. Lin Zhiming scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked, "How do you know that I will definitely help Bowen clear his name?"
"Because you're a good person. Guo Lao said.
"That's it?" Lin Zhiming asked suspiciously.
"That's enough. Guo Lao said.
"Okay. Lin Zhiming smiled helplessly.
"Tomorrow you are about to have the battle of the gods, and for you, it is not difficult to pass the battle of the gods, the difficult thing is tomorrow's potential test, you are the awakening of double traits, according to the legend, the awakening of double traits is progressing rapidly, but the potential is limited, and the achievements are also limited, so, tomorrow's potential test is a huge test for you, if you can pass, then the position of the dragon king belongs to you, if you can't pass, then let alone the position of the dragon king, even if you fill the position of the dragon king, you can't sit still. Guo Lao said.
"So what is your purpose for seeing me?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Honestly, I have a gut feeling that you're going to pass the potential test. Guo Lao said.
"Oh, you also believe in intuition?" asked Lin Zhiming.
"I didn't believe it in the past, but when I knew you, I had a gut feeling that you would bring great changes to the dragon clan, and after such a long time, I became more and more sure of what I had intuitively felt, so after I intuitively felt that you might pass the potential test, I also believed in my intuition!" Guo Lao said.
"So you found me so that you could win me over?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"You must know that what you occupy is my position, if you are not born, then this position will still be occupied by civil officials, and it is almost certainly the civil official arranged by the person behind me, and now your appearance has changed everything, the matter of supplementing the dragon king is the result of many strong pressures, the person behind me was originally very angry, but after knowing that you are most likely to become the dragon king, he is not angry, as long as you can become his person, then you can get his full support in the dragon clan, and considering that you are still so young, as long as you operate properly, twenty or thirty years later, the first person in the dragon clan is none other than youGuo Lao said.
"Yes, so you're trying to win me over for the people behind you?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yes. Guo Lao nodded.
"Come on. Lin Zhiming smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in finding a backer, standing in line or anything, even if I become the Dragon King, I will only do things according to my preferences, and political struggles are not suitable for me." ”
"Huh?" Guo Lao raised his eyebrows and said, "That's what I said, but you must know that whether it is the five elders and the four dragon kings, or the four elders and five dragon kings, each person represents a force behind them, and others have a backstage but you don't, which means that your path in the dragon clan will be more difficult than others." ”
"So what? Let me be busy intriguing with people all day long, engaging in political struggles, then I might as well go home and be my idle rich man, Guo Lao, I joined the dragon clan, one is not for power, the other is not for profit, what I want is to return this world to a clear world, and return all living beings to a blue sky, if I have my back to a certain big man, then once I have a conflict with the big guy's concept, how can I deal with myself? Do I want to be sorry for myself, or am I sorry for the big guy who supports me?" Lin Zhiming looked at Guo Lao and asked.
"You have to think about it, even if it's me, it's impossible to gain a foothold at the top of the dragon clan alone, the dragon clan is the largest organization in the dragon country, and the involvement is too big. Guo Lao said with a solemn face.
"It's a big deal, just like you, when you can't afford to play, you will delete the number and leave. Lin Zhiming smiled.
Delete the number and leave?
Guo Lao obviously hasn't played online games, so he doesn't know what it means to delete the number and leave, but he probably knows what Lin Zhiming means.
In this case, I can only hope that you can go better and better in the future. Guo Lao said seriously.
"Hmm!" Lin Zhiming nodded, stood up and clasped his fists at Guo Lao and said, "To know that you are in good health today can be said to be the happiest thing for me recently, and I also hope that your old man can live a long and healthy life, so that you can watch me change the dragon clan with my own eyes." ”
"I was told in this blog post. Guo Lao said.
Lin Zhiming smiled, nodded to Guo Lao, and then turned to leave.
"How's that?" Zhao Jianlin asked.
"You and I are not wrong. Guo Lao said with a smile, looking at his appearance, he should be in a very good mood at this time.
"Only people like Zhifu can really change the dragon clan, don't seek power, don't seek profit, just for Qingming and Qingtian, aren't you the same in the past?" Zhao Jianlin said with emotion.
"It's just a pity that I didn't make it. Guo Lao said.
"Maybe Lin Zhiming can do it. Zhao Jianlin said.
"Maybe..."Guo Lao smiled, and then said, "Jianlin, help me tell the one behind me, Zhiming has passed our final test, and you don't need to reserve support for Zhiming! With him, the future of the Dragon Clan can be expected!"
"I understand, Guo Lao!" Zhao Jianlin nodded.
On the other side, Lin Zhiming, who had walked out of Guo Lao's residence, looked up at the sky.
The sky was blue.
"The throne of the Dragon King, Lao Tzu is about to go to Lin Xing You, wait for Lao Tzu. Lin Zhiming said to himself proudly.
