Office of the Southwest Municipal Party Committee.

Lin Qingtian seemed to have aged for dozens of years in an instant, and slumped on top of his seat.

A ten-minute phone call seemed to drain all the strength of his body, the phone slipped from his hand uncontrollably and fell to the floor, Lin Qingtian's eyes were a little dull, looking at the ceiling above in a daze, silent.

Zhao Yingfei, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Southwest City, had left, but the giant Xu Dongping was still in the conference room, and his eyes were full of pity and sympathy when he looked at Lin Qingtian.

Bad luck?

These four words can no longer fully describe Lin Qingtian's situation, this is completely fate, the fate of the southwest faction, it is irresistible.

Twenty years of time, the southwest faction ups and downs, can be called ups and downs, the older generation of leaders Xue Zhiguo ascended to the throne, became the supreme head of the empire, the entire southwest faction is proud, that five years, can be said to be the happiest time for the southwest faction, five years later, Xue Zhiguo was pulled down by the former prime minister Li Donglei, failed to be re-elected, the entire southwest faction fell from heaven to hell, and spent another five years in anger and uneasiness.

Ten years ago, Lin Qingtian successfully took over, formed the six departments of the empire, weakened the position of the cabinet, strengthened the centralization of the head of state, and the royal faction fell into disadvantage everywhere in the battle with the southwest faction.

Lin Qingtian's movements were slow and resolute, and the Wang family was weakened little by little, if it were not for the support of Li Donglei and the two Standing Committee giants who were in power at that time, the Wang family would inevitably be suppressed more seriously.

In that session, in that five years, the southwest faction was invincible, and enjoyed the pleasure of raising their eyebrows for a long time in the battles again and again.

And then it was the last five years of twenty years.

Lin Qingtian was successfully re-elected.

When everyone thought that Lin Qingtian would continue to be brilliant with the southwest faction, Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun both entered the norm from Nanyue and Wu Yue respectively and became giants.

Zou Rente, Guo Tianlong, Ye Nianlun, Chen Hualou.

Four giants, in terms of the number of giants, the royal faction is already on par with the southwest faction.

The whole empire became turbulent in an instant.

The past five years have been the most headache for the southwest faction, the Wang faction has worked hard to recover the lost ground, slowly accumulating strength, the suppression of the southwest faction has become more and more reluctant, and the status of the first faction has also suffered severe challenges.

The form is not optimistic.

But no one could have imagined that in the last two years of the five-year period, the Southwestern faction would be in the current situation.

The people were panicked, the internal was unstable, the war came, and the leaders were on the verge of splitting.

At this time, the angel organization invaded and directly captured Lin Chaoyang alive.

If he is not in the game, no one can imagine how much impact Lin Chaoyang, a small role in the overall situation, will have on the whole situation, and the role he can play may be minimal, but the significance he represents is not trivial.

The stability of the southwest faction, the stability of the empire, and the development of the war are all directly or indirectly related to Lin Chaoyang.

The acting mayor of Southwest City must be saved.

Otherwise, God knows what kind of variables will arise.

Lin Qingtian, who was helpless, could only ask the emperor for help.

Xu Dongping actually knew from the beginning that the 200 billion proposed by Lin Qingtian and the Southwest Energy Group did not have any good intentions, the two gifts seemed to be full of weight, but it was not easy to eat, the emperor had been secretly called a thief over the years, once he accepted these two gifts, Lin Qingtian's reputation might be affected at that time, but the price paid by the royal family and the royal family was greater, everyone would doubt the intentions of the imperial family to return to the empire, and even some doubts about the emperor within the royal family.

The emperor is naturally not stupid, he is not carried away by money because he is relatively short of money, he wants the interests of the royal family.

This is simply a requirement that satisfies all parties.

Except for the Southwestern faction.

In that phone call, Lin Qingtian promised more than just a few prominent positions to be replaced, he was equivalent to trading the position of the first faction and giving it directly to the Wang family.

Chen Fengyan took over Chen Fengnan's class two years later and served as the new head of the military department of the empire, this position was originally the ambition of the southwest faction, the Chen family has always occupied the position of the leader of the military department for more than 20 consecutive years, and the southwest faction has been unhappy with it for a long time, and has always wanted to win this key position.

In the next re-election, taking advantage of Chen Fengnan's retirement, if someone from the Southwest faction can be placed in that position, then it will be tantamount to sending a signal to the outside world: The Chen family's influence on the empire and military is still deep-rooted.

On the contrary, if this position continues to be held by the Chen family, then it undoubtedly proves that the southwest faction's right to speak in the military has begun to be lost, and many forces in the army will subconsciously move closer to the Chen family, so that the Wang family's voice in the military will increase again.

Chen Fengxiao joined the military department, and Chen Fengyu entered the general staff.

Chen Fengyu is now a lieutenant general of the empire and the commander of the Northeast Military Region, and the position he left behind continues to be topped by people from the royal family, and there is no doubt that this is another position of a top boss who is also very powerful.

The core lineup of the Chen family two years later has been completely formed.

Imperial Prime Minister Chen Hualou, Minister of Military Affairs Chen Fengyan, Minister of General Armament Chen Fengyu, plus a commander of the Northeast Military Region.

After many years, the Chen family can be said to have once again returned to the prominent position of the first family of the imperial military.

Domino effect.

This layout can even affect twenty years later.

The Chen family is the mother family of Wang Tongtian, the successor of the next generation of the Wang family.

The core lineup of the Chen family can influence the empire for at least ten years.

Today's Wang Tongtian is just a political rookie at the department level, what about ten years from now?

Not to mention the support of the Wang family, just the Chen family is enough to pave a real road to heaven for Wang Tongtian.

Dongshan Province and Huangfu Jun are another highlight.

Lin Qingtian at the same time Huang Fujun entered the Dongshan Province two years later, which is equivalent to a promise to give up Dongshan Province to the Wang family in two years, and two years later Huang Fujun entered the bureau, which is equivalent to further opening the gap between Huang Fujun and other successors, he is different from Wang Tongtian, as the next generation of the Wang family, he can get more direct support, more powerful, this promise, so that the Wang family gets not only the land of a province, but also the layout of the next ten years, a province, in addition to accommodating a member of the decision-making bureau, other positions are also essential, and with the status of Dongshan Province, this will definitely become another springboard for the high-ranking officials of the royal family in the future.

Twenty years of layout, a phone call all promised out.

It is no exaggeration to say that the southwestern faction has begun to become lonely from today onwards.

Time is ticking.

Lin Qingtian and Xu Dongping sat quietly in the conference room, and neither of them spoke.

There was a knock on the door.

The bodies of the two giants in the conference room shook almost simultaneously.

Lin Qingtian subconsciously glanced at Xu Dongping, his eyes were blank.

This is definitely not the look that a head of state should have, lost and depressed, like a helpless old man.

Xu Dongping's heart sank, but he didn't say anything, and said to the door: "Please come in." ”

The door to the conference room was pushed open.

Zhao Yingfei, secretary of the municipal party committee, walked in with a large tray, there was some food in the tray, he put the tray on the conference table, and said softly: "Führer, Xu meeting, it's not early, let's eat something first." ”

"What time is it?"

Lin Qingtian asked subconsciously, then raised his wrist, his face slightly stunned.

Half past seven in the evening.

More than two hours have passed since Wang Tianxiong's phone call was hung up.

Lin Qingtian patted his head a little out of shape and laughed at himself.

"When will the Emperor arrive?"

He asked, looking at the food on the table.

There are four dishes and one soup in the tray, all of which are the special Sichuan dishes that he and Xu Dongping like very much, full of portions and fragrant, but he can't raise his appetite.

"Just confirmed the time, the emperor will arrive at the airport in about two hours. ”

Zhao Yingfei said in a respectful tone.

"Arrange the vehicle and pick it up when the time comes. ”

Lin Qingtian nodded, and then said in a tone: "Forget it, I'll pick it up myself." ”

"Okay. ”

Zhao Yingfei's eyelids jumped, lowered his head, and hid all his expressions.

"Is there any news from the terrorists?"

Lin Qingtian continued to ask, and his negotiations with Raphael finally ended with consideration as an excuse.

Raphael gave Lin Qingtian ten hours to think about it, they didn't care about their whereabouts exposed, the factory had buried a large number of explosives, and they also carried three detonators, this was really fearless, unless Lin Qingtian didn't care about Lin Chaoyang's life and death, or they took the initiative to throw away the detonator, there was almost nothing that could threaten their safety.

"No news. ”

Zhao Yingfei shook his head, glanced at Lin Qingtian's expression, hesitated slightly, and continued: "Führer, don't worry too much, Mayor Lin will be fine, a person of the emperor's status, if he is not sure, he will definitely not be in danger, since he promised to take action, then he will definitely rescue Mayor Lin." ”

"Hmph, who cares about that idiot's safety!? If it weren't for the fact that he is now involved in the situation, I would rather let the terrorists kill him! Look at what he just said on the phone? War is imminent, and he wants to make peace with his arms, which is simply a cowardly act! As soon as he falls into the hands of the enemy, he becomes a soft bone, greedy for life and afraid of death, where is there a little bit of party member?!"

Lin Qingtian said angrily.

"Führer, I believe that this is not Mayor Lin's mind after falling into the hands of the enemy, in fact, avoiding occupation is also the voice of some comrades in the party, I know Mayor Lin very well, he is not a person who will compromise with the enemy, he wants to avoid war, it is likely that he is the true thought in his heart. ”

Zhao Yingfei quietly said a good word for Lin Chaoyang, no matter what he said, Lin Qingtian is Lin Chaoyang's father, no father will easily give up his biological son, as long as Lin Chaoyang can come out alive, he will definitely be his partner in the future, take the initiative to say a good word for Lin Chaoyang at this time, and it is very likely that he will become a favor in the future.

Sure enough, Lin Qingtian's expression eased a lot, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Old Xu, let's eat something." ”

Xu Dongping nodded, walked over and picked up the chopsticks.

Zhao Yingfei said hello, and then walked out of the conference room, the incident in the auditorium has now spread all over the country, the entire empire is in an uproar, and the southwest city is even more chaotic, as the number one, there are still too many things to deal with.

Lin Qingtian watched his back disappear, holding the chopsticks, and after a while, he put the chopsticks down, took out his mobile phone directly, and dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

Lin Qingtian held his mobile phone, spoke directly, and said in a deep voice: "Fengxue, how is your plan? Did the bodyguard next to you bring good news?"

"Shen Tu has already gone to Lushan a few days ago, and I can't contact him yet, but I'm sure she won't let me down. ”

Lin Fengxue's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Find a way to contact her! ”

Lin Qingtian said coldly: "Tell Shentu that as long as she can invite those people out of the mountain and complete the task, the country is willing to owe them a favor." ”

"Remember, you must kill Lin Xuanyuan and all of them!

On the phone, Lin Fengxue was silent for a long time before she said calmly: "Don't worry, leave everything to me." ”

Lin Qingtian snorted, and said indifferently: "After a while, I will also send Wang Tianxiong to the United States, you know what to do." ”

"Understood. ”

Lin Fengxue said and hung up the phone directly.

Opposite Lin Qingtian, Xu Dongping's palm holding the chopsticks subconsciously tightened, and his eyes were playful.

As a giant of the southwest faction, he also knows a little about the complicated background of the bodyguard next to Lin Fengxue.

The phone call just now was very brief, but he completely knew Lin Qingtian's plans.

Kill Lin Xuanyuan and all of them.

This everyone includes Lin Xuanyuan, Qi Mingxuan, Chen Fengxiao, Ye Liuli and Huangfu Lingxi, and other super masters who consider the royal family, including Wang Tianxiong.

This can be said to be all the high-end combat power of the Shenzhou Empire today.

The value of these people is even more important than tens of thousands of troops.

But Lin Qingtian is now going to give up on them.

Once the empire loses this group of super masters, it can be said that it will suffer heavy losses.

But if Lin Fengxue's bodyguards can invite another group of people out of the mountain, they can make up for this loss.

Leverage your strength.

In order to stabilize the situation of the southwest faction, Lin Fengxue has already begun to borrow strength from the group of people who have not been born.

Xu Dongping ate the meal silently, and let out a sigh imperceptibly.

What an eventful time.
