There is still an hour before the birthday party.

But the parking lot of the palace side by side is already a gathering of luxury cars, the rapid development of the empire's economy, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, these former luxury brands have become relatively more and more civilian, countless superiors have already aimed at more high-end brands, Cadillac, Bentley, Maybach, Rolls-Royce, the world's top luxury brands have become the new darling, private jets, private yachts no matter how high-end, many times it is inconvenient, so a car that is enough to make people eye-catching, can also reflect the face of the owner.

There are occasionally some relatively low-key models in the blockbuster luxury cars, but the license plate is not low-key at all, Kyushu City is the place with the strongest political atmosphere in the empire, and the license plate number hanging on every seemingly ordinary car is all knowledge, these seemingly simple letters and numbers divide everyone into two classes, privileged and ordinary, the former can be unscrupulous in Kyushu City, illegal parking, running red lights, speeding.

Of course, the latter can also be used, but the former's approach is called performing official duties, and the latter is called violating the rules, and points and fines must be deducted.

"It's going to be very lively today, let's not go directly to the hall, let's go to the princess first, and then go to the hall when the banquet begins. ”

Chen Qingyu smiled and pointed to the two old Audi A6Ls parked side by side not far in front of them, the two cars were inconspicuous among luxury cars, but they were respectively hung with the No. 2 license plates of the Beijing Office of Wu Yue Province and Nanyue Province, and most of the people present tonight had to weigh it carefully.

"There are so many cars, I only recognize a few people's cars, Sister Chen, who else are they?"

Lin Shuimo looked curiously at the underground garage like the most luxurious auto show, full of energy, the previous princess's birthday, out of politeness, his father also participated, but at that time his identity was outside the royal family, and this time, he participated as a member of the royal family, and the Lin family in Kyushu City will also announce to the public for the first time that they are standing on the chariot of the royal family, which is an extremely important change, and the Lin family in Kyushu City, which has been going downhill for nearly 20 years, seems to have completely bid farewell to the declining past from today。

"There are a lot of people, all the political bigwigs of the royal family should participate, even if I can't come, I will send enough representatives, the southern faction will also come, and the southwest faction, the southwest Lin family, the heads of the major groups in the empire, regardless of whether the relationship between the two sides is hostile or friendly, on this occasion, everyone will come to go through the motions, so this birthday banquet is completely different from the ink you attended Lin Xiao's birthday banquet a few days ago, although Lin Xiao chose the location in the Yanhuang Club, but in fact, it is not in the stream, the people who appear here today are the people who really stand at the top of the pyramid of imperial power and wealth。 ”

Chen Qingyu chuckled: "Also, I don't know who the representative of the royal family is today, the prince is His Majesty's younger brother, the birthday of his younger brother and sister, even if it is inconvenient for him to come in person, every time there are absolute heavyweights of the royal family, the year before last was my aunt, last year it was Her Royal Highness the Queen who participated in person, this time I don't know who it is." ”

"They're all big shots. ”

Lin Shuimo stretched out his little tongue and looked coquettish.

She and Poplar are wearing a white evening dress today, taking the route of youth and purity, with a Chen Qingyu Zhuyu in front, if they still plan to move closer to the mature direction, they will directly become green leaves, but now that they have changed their dresses, their aura suddenly becomes complementary, and the return rate soars.

"What I'm most curious about is actually the representative of the royal family this year. ”

Chen Qingyu smiled softly: "In recent years, every character of the royal family who appeared at the princess's birthday banquet represented the actions of the Wang family in the empire this year. The year before last, it was my aunt, and that year, the Wang family took the initiative to provoke several political games and gained a lot. Last year, it was Her Royal Highness the Queen who came in person, and that year, the father of calligraphy and painting completely established the status of the underworld king in the three provinces in the northeast of the empire, so for the upper circle of the Shenzhou Empire, the birthday of the princess side by side is the vane of all the actions of the royal family in the next year, as long as you know who the representative of the royal family is this year, you can vaguely judge the next action of the royal family within a year. ”

"Is the royal family coming back to the Empire?!"

Poplar was shocked, if the royal family who withdrew from the empire twenty years ago came back again, it would undoubtedly be an earthquake, the political circles, the business world, and the underworld would all go through a new round of reshuffle, it would be a real bloody storm, fierce and cruel, Poplar was not surprised that the royal family would return, but he never thought that it would be so soon, and many people would not have thought that everyone would think that two years later, the imperial reshuffle, Mr. Ye, who was in the royal family, successfully took over and successfully reached the top, and Vice Prime Minister Chen entered the cabinet to completely stabilize the situation in the empire, which is the best time for the royal family to return to the empire, but now it seems that the royal family's actions are getting faster and faster, most likely five or six years ahead of schedule.

"It depends on who the royal family representatives are tonight. ”

Chen Qingyu sighed softly, but his eyes were full of solemnity.

". ”

Lin Xiaocao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

The attention of the three beauties was focused on Lin Xiaocao for the first time, this super strong bodyguard followed Lin Shuimo most of the time, without a sense of existence, without saying a word, but once he spoke or acted, he could always instantly attract everyone's attention.

"The behavior of the imperial family is mainly a temptation, followed by a silent layout, they have left the empire for twenty years, and the emperor will definitely be unwilling in his heart, but in the first ten years or even more, His Majesty the emperor you said has no time to care about the situation in the empire, he is busy dealing with the major chaebols in Europe and the United States, and it is not easy at all, so the southwest faction will successfully suppress the royal system that was in full swing at that time, and the latecomers will prevail. ”

"Today's royal family can become a behemoth side by side with Rothschild, Bourbon, Morgan and Rockefeller, not by virtue of the heritage and chaebol, but by being crazy and powerful enough to barely gain a foothold, but on the whole, the situation of the royal family is actually not good, because they have no way to retreat, the relationship between the emperor and the supreme head is too stiff, and for 20 years, it has never been able to establish tacit understanding and contact with the empire, so it can only be reckless, constantly buying various advanced weapons, and maintaining enough deterrent power so that all parties of the chaebol do not dare to act rashly。 ”

"But in fact, the more the emperor is like this, the more impossible it is for the supreme head to establish contact with him, until now all parties are just maintaining a reluctant balance, but the balance is too delicate and fragile, if the major chaebols make up their minds, or the supreme head gritted his teeth, regardless of the cost, the power of the country to deal with the royal family, the fate of the royal family can only be completely destroyed, more miserable than decades ago, but now the problem is that no one is willing to pay this heavy price, the deterrent power of the advanced weapons of the imperial family is too huge, so now all aspects are deadlocked, the emperor is now riding a tiger is difficult, walking a tightrope for more than 20 years, now I can only choose to hold on. In fact, he wants to return to the empire more than anyone else and establish contact with the empire, so that he will have a stable rear, attack, retreat and defend, and be invincible by nature, and such a royal family is the real existence that can be equal to Rothschild and other super conglomerates. ”

"But it is impossible for the supreme head to accept him, at least not during his term of office, so the royal family is now facing a huge crisis, these two years are the key, and it is also the best time to eliminate the royal family in all aspects. So in the past two years, the emperor's nerves will definitely be tightened, firmly staring at any opponent, returning to the empire, he wants to, but he will not act rashly, he can only slowly arrange, expand the influence of the imperial family in the empire as much as possible, and prepare to return to the Celestial Empire with the general trend in two years, as for this birthday dinner, it may be regarded as the weather vane of all the actions of the imperial family in the next year, but it cannot be said to be absolute, even if the emperor appears here in person tonight, it is impossible for the imperial family to return to the empire within a year. ”

Lin Xiaocao's tone was unhurried, this was almost the first time he had said so many words in front of several women, and his tone was very indifferent, but many analyses and evaluations were to the point, directly pointing out the current situation of the royal family.

"How do you know?"

The three women were dumbfounded, and after a long time, Bai Yang stammered, this is definitely not the insight that a bodyguard should have, although she knew that the bodyguard next to Lin Shuimo who could defeat Yang Wuwei was wrong, but she never thought that Lin Xiaocao would know so much about the royal family.

"I used to be a killer, the situation of the royal family, it is not a secret in the dark world, and the emperor does not deny this, do I know that these are strange?"

Lin Xiaocao glanced at Bai Yang and said in a casual tone.

"Dark World?"

This time, the three women keenly captured a word they didn't often hear, and they spoke in unison.

"A place that you can't touch, after Lin Danqing, the sister of Ink, officially became a member of the Hurricane team, the scope of work is the dark world, which is an environment that ordinary people can't imagine, agents from various countries, spies, killers, mercenaries, and underworlds are mixed together, fighting for their own interests, conspiracy and killing, death and betrayal, it is the dark side far from all ordinary people, it is very cruel, very simple, and very real. ”

Lin Xiaocao said in a flat tone: "The imperial family can be said to be the largest family force in the dark world, and this is also the result of the emperor's excessive and even crazy pursuit of force for more than twenty years. ”

"Isn't this a bad result?"

Chen Qingyu couldn't help but ask, the Chen family and the Wang family are now a real family with the same spirit, of course she has reason to care.

"You can't say it's bad, but you can't say it's good, it's hard to choose, or the emperor doesn't have a choice at all. ”

Lin Xiaocao thought seriously for a while, shook his head, and said.

"How?"

Chen Qingyu unconsciously slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Lin Xiaocao.

"The excessive pursuit of force will definitely make the Shenzhou Empire jealous, and the establishment of contact is far away, but if it is not pursued, the Wang family, which is far from sufficient in terms of financial resources and heritage, is independent of the royal island, and has long been swallowed by others, and its own strength is a must. ”

Lin Xiaocao said softly.

Chen Qingyu turned her head to look at his side face, a little distracted, she liked it very much, or rather admired Lin Xiaocao at this time, not like being a bodyguard was so silent, not as arrogant as when she did it, plain and calm, with a very confident temperament.

"What would you do if you were the emperor?"

Chen Qingyu subconsciously asked a question that she felt inexplicable after she said it.

Lin Xiaocao was slightly stunned, didn't answer for a while, thought carefully for about two or three minutes, and then said slowly: "There is no other way, I can't be better than him, or even far inferior to him." At present, the royal family has only two choices, one is to continue to research high-end weapons, frantically expand their military strength, and build a country on their own after having the capital to completely cripple and destroy a country. The land of more than 70,000 square kilometers of the imperial family is equivalent to a very large province of the Shenzhou Empire, which is not small, at least it is enough to establish a country. The second option is to return to the Shenzhou Empire after the general change, and the Imperial Island will become an independent autonomous region, with a plan of one country, two systems, but it must be different from the casino and the governor of Hong Kong, requiring a high degree of autonomy. But no matter what you choose, the royal family will survive this last and most dangerous two years. ”

"In fact, it is not easy for His Majesty the Emperor, even if he reaches his height, he still has to struggle for survival. ”

Lin Shuimo sighed softly.

Lin Xiaocao was silent.

"The word survival only applies to two kinds of people, the best and the worst. Or the highest and lowest characters, ordinary people don't have to think about survival, they just need to think about how to live a better life. ”

Chen Qingyu smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly found that Lin Xiaocao's eyes beside him seemed to be staring at the upturned ass wrapped in the evening dress, and he was angry for no reason, and reached out and pinched his arm.
