Chapter 44: Immature Sharpness
Lin Xiaocao met Tang Xin, a legendary figure of the royal family, in the imperial palace.
After joining the royal family, his mentality has been changing intentionally or unintentionally, the most obvious is to let go of the rejection of the royal family in his heart, at least he is trying to let go.
He has been adapting to this change in identity, the God of War King, regardless of the prestige of the royal family, only in terms of real power, he can be said to be the third person in the royal family, standing in this position, the female god of wealth of the royal family is back, and the identity can be regarded as an elder, he took the initiative to come over and show his face, it should be.
When Lin Xiaocao came to the emperor's palace, the emperor and Tang Xin were sitting in the dining room, with a few delicate side dishes on the table, and Tang Xin, who was dressed in a black professional suit, was sitting quietly in his position, bowing his head and drinking soup.
After hearing the footsteps, she raised her head, put down the soup bowl in her hand, looked at Lin Xiaocao, and said softly, "Lin Xuanyuan?"
Lin Xiaocao nodded and looked at the woman in front of her.
Cold, proud, confident.
This is Lin Xiaocao's first impression of her, she is naturally extremely beautiful, even if she is no longer young, but just looking at her appearance, there are a lot of people who are willing to believe that she is less than thirty years old, with exquisite facial features, skin like snow, and a slender figure, just being beautiful, may not be enough to describe her charm.
Beautiful, this word is more appropriate.
Cold to the extreme, arrogant to the extreme, she sat there quietly, not saying anything, but all the time exuding a powerful aura that seemed to be in control of everything, no one should enter, which made people awe-inspiring.
A woman with a temperament, or rather a momentum so strong that people can ignore her already beautiful face.
Tang Xin quietly looked at this young man who would become powerful as soon as he left the imperial family and returned to the Shenzhou Empire.
Lin Xiaocao looked at her calmly, her eyes firm and clear.
From another field, she in front of her is also another kind of invincible.
Her status in the international financial community is even higher than that of God of War in the dark world.
After all, no matter how brilliant the God of War is, the light and glory on his body are all due to the failure to assassinate the emperor.
And Tang Xin has never failed in the field she is good at.
Not once.
When it comes to the royal family, Tang Xin is definitely a figure that can't be avoided no matter what.
If there was no emperor, there would be no royal family today, but if there was no Tang Xin, the imperial family would definitely not be on such a terrifying scale today.
"I'm Tang Xin. β
After more than ten seconds, Tang Xin nodded and said a word, and then continued to pick up the bowl and drink the soup.
Lin Xiaocao smiled, and didn't care, Tang Xin's coldness and pride were notoriously, this might be her only flaw, otherwise, she would not appear in the royal family at all today, but lead a super family surnamed Tang to fight against the royal family.
He pulled over the chair and sat down, took a sip of the soup, and glanced at the emperor, who had been silent.
"What are you looking at?"
The emperor was a little uncomfortable by Lin Xiaocao's strange eyes.
Lin Xiaocao didn't speak, he smiled, not a smirk, not a mockery, but with an indescribable emotion.
"Good spirits. β
The emperor simply ignored this stubble, stared at Lin Xiaocao for a while, nodded and said, "Let's stay for a few more days and go back, Tang Xin will go to the United States in the next few days, and the light rain will pass in advance." β
Tang Xin's silent movement of drinking soup slowed slightly.
"Good. β
Lin Xiaocao nodded and said nonchalantly: "That group of captives was just released?"
"I can't hold it down. β
The emperor shook his head: "They can be said to be the most aggressive sword of the Skeleton Society, which is of great significance to them, for us, it makes little sense to kill, it is better to exchange some ransom, if the negotiation is good, Morgan and Rockefeller will offer a pretty good price, if you don't understand, look at the army of our royal family to know what's going on." β
Lin Xiaocao was silent.
He knew that the Emperor was telling the truth, and that the Creator and Hero forces now held in the Imperial Family were the swords of the Skull and Bones Society, but they were only swords.
Just like the law enforcement team and consuls of the imperial family, this is the most offensive weapon in the emperor's hands, and when needed, he can go to England without reservation, leaving the important figures of the imperial family who have no combat effectiveness on the imperial soldier mountain.
But the defenses on the Imperial Soldier Mountain weakened?
Not at all!
At the end of the day, it still doesn't mean much.
There are about 10,000 elite troops stationed on the mountainside of the imperial family, and the remaining 40,000 people are also stationed in several military bases not far from the Imperial Soldier Mountain.
They are the real defense force of the royal family.
Whoever thinks that after the emperor has taken away all the masters and elites of the imperial family, the defense of the Imperial Soldier Mountain will be empty, then he must be a fool.
The law enforcement team, the consuls, the side kings, the god of war kings, the golden bull archers, and even the emperor himself, they are all swords, not used to defend, and have never been defended.
And the same is true of those captives detained on the mountain now, they are also swords, killing them, even if you don't consider the US government's secret support for the Skull and Bones Society, at most, it is just that the Skull Society will not have absolute elite strength for a period of time, their defense methods are not damaged at all, and the royal family can't help them, so killing them is not meaningless, but it is of little significance, and it is more in the interests of the royal family to ask for a sky-high honorarium.
The royal family wants money, and the skeletons will ask for their own swords, which is an acceptable situation for both parties.
It would have been too difficult for the family or the consortium to develop to such an extent without the intervention of the state apparatus in war.
Even if the skeleton will be exhausted with great fanfare this time, the purpose is only to stop the royal family's trade with Britain and kill the emperor and destroy the imperial family, the other party must have thought about it, but it can only be thought about.
"How much ransom can I have?"
Lin Xiaocao drank the soup and said nonchalantly.
The emperor shook his head and glanced at Tang Xin.
"It's not too small. β
Tang Xin smiled rarely, and seemed to be in a good mood when he mentioned this matter: "The financial and material resources that Morgan and Rockefeller poured into the two forces of Hero and Creator are astronomical, absolutely elite, absolutely loyal, which cannot be bought back with money, since there is a possibility of redemption now, then they must be ready to be slaughtered by us, and this money will definitely not be Morgan and Rockefeller, but other families of the Skull and Bones Society." β
"Huh?"
Lin Xiaocao glanced at her suspiciously.
"Sniping at the royal family is the collective will of more than a dozen chaebols of the entire Skull and Bones Club, at least it was collectively passed at their internal meeting, but it was Morgan and Rockefeller's two top armies that contributed to it, and now that the other party has failed, it must also be that they collectively bear the consequences, Morgan and Rockefeller contribute, and others can only pay obediently, so the ransom must come out of the other families of the Skull and Bones Society, and this is also an opportunity for the two giant families to slightly suppress the development of other families, this is the tacit understanding between our two sides, in the case of not exceeding the bottom line of those two families, the more we want, the happier they will beγ β
"It's complicated. β
Lin Xiaocao shook his head: "Where is their bottom line?"
"We haven't started yet. β
Tang Xin took a sip of soup: "I will go to the United States in the next few days, and the light rain will pass in advance, I only know these things after talking to them." β
Lin Xiaocao sighed.
Although the United States is said to be the base camp of the Skull and Bones Society, this negotiation is also very important, but side by side Wang took the entire law enforcement team over, under the premise that the creator and the hero troops were detained in the Imperial Soldier Mountain, he had enough ability to make this negotiation go smoothly, as for the success of the negotiation, there is no need for the two sides to completely tear their faces, and Wang Fuyu can also develop slowly in the United States.
"By the way, when you were in Kyushu City, Yang Wuwei once invited you to join the Tempest?"
The emperor stopped talking about the captives, and as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked.
Lin Xiaocao was stunned for a moment: "It seems that there is such a thing." β
If the emperor didn't mention it, he would have forgotten about it.
"Join the Tempest?
The Emperor's eyebrows furrowed, and he said thoughtfully.
"Vice-captain, or instructor. β
Lin Xiaocao said: "I didn't think it was necessary, so I pushed it." β
"I think you should think about it, your senior brother's position is eye-catching, the springboard of the wind is okay, but the vice captain is low, Tongtian has been the captain of the wind for the past few years, and it is time to come out, you can choose the same between the captain and the instructor. β
The emperor said lightly.
Lin Xiaocao frowned, the fierceness in his eyes flashed, looked at the emperor, and did not speak.
It is true that he is the God of War King, but it does not mean that everything has to be arranged by the emperor.
"Think for yourself. Your senior brother's position has been held by your vein since the founding of the People's Republic of China, if it is given to outsiders now, it is estimated that Ye Lao will not be willing, right? I can tell you about the importance of that position, controlling the Shenzhou Guardian, it is not an army, it is an organization, how complex all aspects of the internal are, it is beyond your imagination, let's put it this way, every time the Supreme Decision-making Bureau of the Empire meets, if your senior brother is interested, you can participate, he is in the meeting alongside the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau, higher than the members, if you really talk about real power, he is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most powerful people, No. 1 and No. 2 positions are prominent, but there are too many things to consider, and we must pay attention to balance and stability, but Shenzhou Guardian is different, it is irregular power, or rather, it is an unfettered rightγ β
The emperor glanced at Lin Xiaocao with a smile, his eyes playful: "And Tongtian will definitely not fight for your senior brother's position, his goal is not here, he is not on it, Bolong is not on it, if you don't go up, when your senior brother retires in a few years, the person who goes up is Lin Nannan, Lin Fengxue's eldest son." That position will not be changed, Imperial Guardian, your senior brother has been doing it for decades, and it will be much more difficult to let Lin Nannan go to that position and move the Lin family in the southwest. β
ββ
Lin Xiaocao was silent for a long time before he said calmly: "When will Wang Tongtian come out?"
"You just look at the arrangement, discuss it with your Aunt Chen when you go back, and you can come out now." β
Lin Xiaocao sighed, Wang Tongtian, Tongtian, just these two words, you can see the goal of this prince of the royal family, and his goal will definitely not be limited to the military department, he is bound to enter politics and strive to ascend to the altar in a few decades.
Wang Tongtian, a 26-year-old graduate student who is about to graduate from the Hurricane squad and is about to graduate from the Hurricane squad this year, will be a cadre at the deputy department level or even at the department level, and the 26-year-old deputy department or even the department level will have a huge advantage in terms of age.
"I'll think about it. β
Lin Xiaocao pushed the soup bowl in front of him forward, stood up and nodded to Tang Xin, "Let's go." β
"Wait. β
The emperor also stood up, walked to the living room, took out a folder and handed it to Lin Xiaocao and said, "Take it back and take a look, you can only see it yourself, and burn it after reading." β
Lin Xiaocao's heart sank.
can only see for himself, that is, Wang Jinxiu is not qualified and authorized to contact this information.
He took it, nodded, and walked out quickly.
The emperor walked slowly to the restaurant and sat down, looked at Tang Xin, who was looking down at the soup bowl in a daze, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
"Too young, like a big kid. β
Tang Xin was silent for a while and commented.
"That's right. β
The Emperor laughed, visibly pleased with the assessment.
"You put him in such an important position, don't you?"
Tang Xin frowned.
"It's fine. β
The emperor waved his hand to interrupt Tang Xin's words, and said calmly: "I know it in my heart. β
He looked at Tang Xin, and the complexity in his eyes flashed.
In fact, there is a sentence he didn't say, Lin Xiaocao is indeed a child, and in the eyes of Tang Xin today, he is not mature.
But there are always some children who are regarded as immature by adults, and they will use their immature ways to shatter all the so-called mature people or groups into pieces, and they will never recover.
In that way, it is not stable, but sharp enough!
Just like she did back then-
