July 10, 785, Imperial Capital.

Just as a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness is slowly recovering, this prestigious mainland city is also slowly regaining its vitality. In the midst of the scorched earth ruins, new buildings have emerged.

The great catastrophe passed. People return to the historic city from the southeast and northwest. From December of 784, the official and private reconstruction projects began. With new houses rising from the ground to the ground, and mountains of mud and rubble piling up everywhere, the old city is regaining its vigor and vitality like weeds that have been destroyed by fire.

The horse-drawn carriage passed by the central avenue, and the buildings and trees on both sides of the street were projected on the white and pretty faces of the commanders of the Central Army from time to time, showing black and white light and shadow. Turning his head, Zi Chuanning looked at the handsome man opposite: "Lord Dilin, the family is satisfied with the recent work performance of the Supervision Department. Under the leadership of Your Excellency, the Supervision Department has made outstanding achievements in capturing the remnants of the demons, clearing out the remnants of the bandits, and especially in eliminating the scum who have lost their integrity and defected to the demons. ”

Di Lin politely owed a debt and smiled: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's praise, Wei Chen is ashamed." Wechen is just doing his duty, and the main achievements are due to the colleagues of the Supervision Department and the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, as well as the anti-traitor and killing teams stationed in various places, they are the front-line warriors who take the lead and fight against those scum, and Wechen only plays a role in mediation. ”

"Volkswagen, you are too modest. The achievements of the Office of the Inspectorate are evident to all, and no amount of praise can be overstated. But what I wonder is......" Zi Chuanning flipped through the report in his hand, and his eyebrows frowned beautifully: "Between October last year and July this year, the Supervision Department cracked more than 148,000 cases of treason and defection to the enemy, and arrested more than 438,000 criminals...... Isn't that an exaggeration? ”

"Wechen is incompetent, and he can't catch all those traitors who have lost their conscience, and he really has the kindness of His Royal Highness the Governor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Wechen is afraid. But please let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that Wechen is really doing his best. Wechen immediately ordered the military justice offices and supervision offices stationed in various places to take stronger and more severe measures to crack down on the thieves. ”

Keep your eyes open. Zi Chuanning seemed to be stiffened: "Lord Dilin, you have misunderstood. I mean, more than 400,000 people were arrested in just over half a year. Isn't it too much? Isn't that a bit too cruel? ”

"Why did Your Highness say this? When the demons are arrogant, there are more than 400,000 people who take refuge in them! Including the Mawei rebels, the scum who were later reorganized into the sixteenth column by the demons, and the scum who cooperated with the demon occupation army - how many of them are not less than a million? Now, they just get the punishment they deserve. ”

"But I know that there is a girl who has only sold a pack of matches to demons. He was also arrested by the Ombudsman and sentenced to 40 years in prison – is this too cruel? ”

"Your Highness, are you talking about the province of Darcy? The local Ombudsman has explained to me that they believe that cooperating with the aggressor and providing supplies to the aggressor out of fear of life and death is also an unforgivable act of treason when the family fighters are fighting bloody battles on the front line. If rebellion is not punished, if there is such a disaster next time, who will be loyal to the family? ”

Zi Chuanning was speechless, for a long time. She asked again, "Last week." The Judge Advocate General's Office suddenly arrested Luo Ao, the deputy commander of the Seventh Division of the Southeast Army, and he didn't cooperate with the demons! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Luo Ao was originally the garrison governor of Jiaxi Province. When the demons attacked, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled with his subordinates who abandoned the city...... Wei Chen remembered that at the most critical time, His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief had issued Military Order No. 271, and the family soldiers must not take a step back, and Luo Ao's behavior had constituted a crime. ”

"But his later exploits ......"

"Your Highness, merit and demerit cannot be compensated. Otherwise, everyone will dare to sin and be unscrupulous, and the prestige of the family will be gone. ”

Zi Chuanning was speechless again. Of course, she knew Order 271: Never take a step back, it was issued during the most dangerous month of the family, and it became known as the Death Order. When the demons broke through the defense line of the southeast army and came straight to the imperial capital, out of despair or madness, Zichuan Shenxing left the imperial capital and fled to Danya after issuing this order.

Above the burning city, the terrifying figure of Dilin stood, like an impregnable dam, withstanding the tide of rout: "We cannot tolerate cowardice, and we cannot give it any room to survive. Those who do not want to do their best to help their families, those who do not obey the orders and discipline of the army, are traitors and must be eliminated without mercy! ”

Using the most extreme and terrifying means, Di Lin managed to make people fear him more than the demons. He organized a second line of defense in the imperial capital, forming one new division after another, whether it was deserters, trapped criminals, even death row prisoners, all of them were given weapons, so that they could plug one gap after another on the battle line. Many of the new troops were sent before they even had time to make their rosters. Countless young soldiers died in the imperial capital without even leaving their names - thinking of that tragic scene, Zi Chuanning still has palpitations.

"Your Highness, as law enforcers, we can only enforce the law impartially and act in accordance with the law. Of course, Your Highness can also be extrajudicial and grant amnesty. That's your prerogative. ”

Zi Chuanning said lightly: "Then, thank you, Your Excellency the Inspector General." ”

"Don't dare to be, it is the honor of the lower officials to serve His Royal Highness. The subordinate will go back and give the order. ”

Neither of them spoke anymore, looking out the window at the scenery passing by. Zi Chuanning's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, and he secretly thought: "Impartial law enforcement? I'm afraid it may not be. At the beginning of the war, the family was unfavorable at the beginning, and the number of soldiers who retreated was more than one million. If they are really pursued one by one according to the 271st Military Order, even the Military Affairs Chief Sterling will be arrested - those who follow you will live, and those who oppose you will die! ”

She was worried that by taking the opportunity of purging scum and traitorous thieves, Di Lin wantonly purged dissidents from the government and the army, planted new letters, and his power grew more and more. Looks like we'll have to talk to my uncle about this.

At the gate of the Governor's Palace, the carriage stopped. The officer in the blue Praetorian Guard uniform stepped forward to open the door to the carriage and said to the two with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Inspector General, His Highness the Governor is already waiting for you. ”

Zi Chuanning asked, "Isn't my uncle going to meet guests today?" Didn't you hear that Lin Rui came to see his uncle today? ”

"The elder of the Lin family has just left, and now the chief is with Goshan. His Royal Highness Ning, Inspector General Volkswagen. Please follow me. ”

The Governor's Mansion of the Shikawa family is not known for its majesty, but for its delicacy and elegance. White walls, green trees, and verdant mangroves surround the walls, and there are sculptures of the heads of the family generations, among which rockeries, fountains, and red flowers like flames are dotted among them.

When the sunset returns and the entire cascading complex is shrouded in a red light, everyone is amazed. People can feel the rich history and humanistic atmosphere of agriculture from the bricks, tiles, grass and trees of this building site, and feel the unique heritage of a large country that has ruled half a continent for 300 years.

Now, that beautiful and stately building has long since been burned in the fire of the imperial capital. When the governor's residence was moved back to the imperial capital from Liangya in early December 784, the imperial capital garrison built a small building on the same site at an astonishing high speed in just three months, so that the returning Zichuan Sanxing would not have to sleep on the streets. But this small building can't be compared with the governor's mansion back then. From beginning to end, there is a smell of a newly renovated house.

The two entered through the doorway and walked through a hallway. Entered the reception room. Shikawa smiled and stood up to greet his heir and the Inspector General. Captain Goshan stood behind him.

The two also saluted the chief, and Zi Chuanning couldn't help but ask, "Uncle looks very good." What's the fun of it? ”

Zichuan Shenxing and Ge Shan looked at each other and smiled: "Hehe, it really makes A-Ning see it!" I was going to surprise you. Two pieces of good news, you might as well guess? ”

Seeing the rare good interest of the chief recently, Zi Chuanning and Di Lin both took fun and pretended to meditate.

"Lin Rui just left, and the Lin family is so rich-I think my uncle got a little scraped from him?" Zi Chuanning grimaced, rubbed his mother and index fingers, and snapped his fingers loudly.

It's especially cute for a pretty beautiful girl to do this kind of action. Several people laughed.

"Ghost girl, where did you learn this kind of action? It seems that I really can't let you go to the army, those soldiers and ruffians have taken you into the wilderness! Although it was a reproach, Zichuan Sanxing smiled: "You guessed half right." We didn't get any money from Lin Rui, but we did pay off the debt. ”

"The Lin family promised to give us debt forgiveness?" Zi Chuanning was pleasantly surprised: "How much is exempted?" ”

"Not much, three hundred billion."

Three hundred billion is an appalling astronomical amount when put outside, and ordinary people may not be able to earn one-tenth of this number even if they work hard for a hundred generations. But in the eyes of a few people in the room, this is just a small wave. Zichuan Shenxing put it lightly, and the people who listened only raised their eyebrows.

Zi Chuanning asked, "Why is the Lin family so kind?" Did Lin Rui put forward any conditions? ”

"It's not a very harsh condition, it's just that we have lowered the import tax rates at several customs points in the southwest, and given some preferential conditions for the Lin family's imported goods."

Commander Goshan interjected at this time: "Your Highness, in my opinion, this condition may not be very favorable to us. ”

"How so?"

"The total area of the Lin family is collected, although the money is small, but we can collect the cash, and now we are in a hurry to use the money, and the silver is of great use to us; If it is according to Lin Rui's conditions, it is equivalent to us using cash to repay the debt in advance. ”

"At the moment, this involves the issue of cash and bond discount rates. A few days ago, the central bank of the Zichuan family set a basic interest rate of 11 percent, while the interest rate on private loans fluctuated between 16 percent and 30 percent, and the rate of inflation increased by 17 percent a year, while the interest rate on the wartime loans given to us by the Lin family was interest-free. With such a high inflation rate and interest rates, it is not necessarily cost-effective for us to repay our debt early. Here I have a preliminary calculation formula for your reference, Your Highness. You see, if we can defer the debt for five years, then we can loosen up a lot on the fiscal side......"

The family's financial experts put on a posture. Holding paper and pen and waving there, several people listened to the heavens. Zichuan Shenxing waved his hand again and again, and his tone seemed to beg for mercy: "We will discuss this issue another day." Let's talk about it again. ”

Goshan was unrelenting: "Your Highness, you are so irresponsible, you don't know what the treasury has become empty!" Everywhere is rebuilding, we can't pay taxes, and the tariff revenue is the only one we have to make a few purchases. You even promised Lin Rui to reduce it! Your Highness, why don't you come to the Ministry of Finance and take a look? Mourning all over the wilderness! We used up three bottles of red ink just to write a deficit! The inland provinces are crying poor, and in the Far East, we can't even collect a copper plate, but we have to supply two armies of 300,000 people there to fight! Your Highness, Weichen, the financial manager, really can't be a ......"

Seeing that Goshan was about to continue, Zichuan Shenxing hurriedly seized the opportunity to divert the topic: "Goshan, the matter in the Far East will be resolved soon." Stirling has already received good news, he has routed Yun Qianxue's army on the outskirts of the Demon God Castle. It is estimated that he will be able to take the Demon God Castle soon. ”

"Oh!"

This conquest war, which has dragged on for nearly half a year, is like a bottomless black hole devouring grain and money every day. This has become a heart disease for the important ministers of the family. Hear this. Everyone was excited.

"It's really a big victory!" Zichuan Shenxing was so excited that his eyebrows danced: "Stirling commands the 130,000 Zichuan army, Yun Qianxue commands the 140,000 demon army, and the demon army is superior; The war started in the Demon God Castle again, which is equivalent to the door of the demon clan, they occupy the geographical advantage again, and in the end, the two armies are still fighting in the field, which is the strength of the demon clan. With so many difficulties, Sterling simply broke Yun Qianxue. Sterling is really a priceless treasure of the family, and at the critical moment, he can still be relied on! ”

Everyone in the room is smart. I understand the implication of Zichuan Shenxing's words: since Sterling is very reliable, there is naturally a guy who is not very reliable. Who is this gentleman? It doesn't take a genius brain, everyone can easily guess it.

Commander Goshan agreed: "Your Highness, you are wise, and you will change the generals in time, otherwise, according to the Far Eastern commander's procrastination style, the war will not know how long it will drag on." ”

"Zichuan Xiu, hum, don't mention him! Now I just beg him not to mischievous! ”

Zichuan Shenxing turned to Di Lin: "Di Lin, do you have eyebrows about the few things you checked last time?" ”

The chief inspector of the Zichuan family is not only the enforcer of the family's criminal law, but he is also the head of the family's secret intelligence. In addition to directing the Ombudsman and Judge Advocate General's Offices, he commanded thousands of secret intelligence agents. They are scattered all over the continent, and on the surface they are ordinary people: workers, peasants, merchants, soldiers, nobles, military officers, but in reality, they are all subordinate to the Seventh Division of the Inspectorate.

The Seventh Division, still a mysterious department that only exists in legends, is known to exist, but no one has actually seen its members.

The blades hidden in the shadows are the most terrifying, and the control of the Seventh Division and the Inspector General is daunting. In terms of actual troops, the military police, including the military justice offices and gendarmes stationed in various places, are only a few hundred thousand, but the Zichuan family's military, which has more than one million soldiers, is very afraid of him. The Seventh Division of the Ombudsman's Office, which is a powerful weapon used by successive family chiefs to maintain a high level of control over the military.

Knowing that the chief was going to listen to the report on the secret work, Goshan and Zichuan Ning both got up to avoid it, but Zichuan Shenxing stopped them: "There's no need to avoid it. You should know this information too, let's listen to it. ”

Di Lin took out his notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and said, "About two months ago, His Royal Highness the Chief Governor explained a few tasks to me, and now they are all a little eyebrows. The first task is to track down the whereabouts of the traitorous traitor Ma Wei. Ma Wei's crime is heinous, and the great damage he has caused to the family will not be repeated here. The first to discover his traces was His Excellency Hidekawa, but unfortunately, at that time, we were all deceived by the cunning Ma Wei, and failed to listen carefully to His Excellency Xiuchuan's report, and repeatedly connived and sheltered Ma Wei, so that it caused a catastrophe later. ”

Di Lin looked down at the notebook and didn't look at anyone, but Zi Chuanning felt that every word he said was aimed at himself, especially when it came to "connivance and protection". She felt as if everyone was looking at her. Thinking that she was fighting with Ah Xiu in order to protect that villain, Zi Chuanning felt embarrassed, and she felt that every word of Di Lin stabbed her like a red-hot soldering iron.

"Long before His Highness the Commander-in-Chief gave orders. After the Battle of Bataan, the Ombudsman began a manhunt for Mawi. We mobilized elite forces and set up a task force to collect clues to track down Ma Wei's whereabouts. ”

"On December 22 last year, an anti-rape team from the Inspectorate encountered a group of men in a hurry in Danya. The ombudsman ordered them to show their documents for inspection, but they rebelled. After a fierce battle, the men left five bodies behind and fled. Later, we checked that one of the deceased was Wei Xin, the thug of the Ma family, who had always been Ma Wei's number one confidant, and when Ma Wei fled and joined the demon clan, he followed Ma Wei. He is on the wanted list of the Inspectorate. ”

"After receiving this information, the task force attaches great importance to it. We ordered all crossings in the southwest to be strictly inspected for pedestrians. and sent a commissioner to the scene of the incident. According to the Ombudsman and the gendarmerie who led the team, there was a man in the team who was very similar in appearance to Mavi. It could well be him. Preliminary judgment. Ma Wei and his gang fled to He Qiu. ”

"After receiving the report, we sent agents to infiltrate the hill and contacted the Hill Security Department and the Public Security Bureau, asking them to cooperate with our investigation. Heqiu expressed its willingness to cooperate, and also dispatched a large number of police forces to conduct an inventory search. However, due to the fact that Heqiu is the commercial center of the mainland, the flow of people is huge, and the search effect is not ideal. At present, we are still continuing to investigate, and if there is any news, we will report it to Your Highness as soon as possible. ”

Zi Chuanning smiled and said, "Inspector General." You've been talking for a long time, but in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: we haven't found anyone yet, and we don't know when we'll find it—right? ”

Zi Chuanning has a hidden irony in his words, but Di Lin has a lot of experience, and his heart has already been honed as hard as a stone, where would he care about the majesty of the little girl's verbal confrontation. He smiled and said, "As His Highness said, we really haven't found anyone yet, and we don't know when we will find it." - He responded so plainly, but it made Zi Chuanning feel like a punch on the cotton, and he felt uncomfortable.

Di Lin turned another page of his notebook and said loudly: "Regarding the second case entrusted to us by the chief executive, the Supervision Department also attaches great importance to it, because it involves the real power of the family......

Zichuan Shenxing made a gesture and interrupted Di Lin: "You don't need to talk about the process in detail, and you don't need to say the name. Dillin, you just have to tell me the conclusion: did he collude with her? He leaned forward, staring at Di Lin with blazing eyes, as if to dig out the answer from his eyes.

Under Zichuan Shenxing's aggressive gaze, Di Lin looked very calm, and he replied, "No." ”

Zichuan Shenxing was not relieved, he frowned: "Di Lin, the purple matter is very important, and you have to investigate it carefully." When she was robbed and rescued in the territory of the Lin family, the Lin family later summed up a lot of doubts and felt very abrupt; And when defending the imperial capital, how can he be so sure that she will definitely come to our aid? and during the Battle of Langcang River, I heard that he had crossed the river alone to negotiate with him, and no one knew the process. This is very inconsistent with the rules for handling negotiations, how can there be any reason for the boss to go to the enemy camp alone to negotiate? ”

"Your Highness," Di Lin didn't say much, but he had a categorical determination: "Wei Chen dares to vouch for his life, absolutely not." Your Highness, the suspicions you listed, Wei Chen also suspected, but according to the investigation, it was just a coincidence. Besides, this matter is too unbelievable, with his position, he is already a very popular minister in my family, even if he votes for that side again, it is impossible to give him a higher official position and greater power, and he has no reason to do so. ”

Zichuan Shenxing's face was slightly gentle: "If you are sure, then I will be much more relieved." I don't want to suspect the country's important generals for no reason, but this matter is too big, if the two really collude, the family will be in danger. ”

Zi Chuanning's heart beat violently when he heard it on the emperor's side. Although the two said it secretly, she still vaguely guessed it. What the two are talking about is actually Zichuan Xiu and Liufeng Shuang.

Could it be that Brother Ah Xiu is involved with Liufeng Shuang?

She was worried in her heart, but Zichuan Shenxing glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and her eyes were full of regret: "At the beginning, I thought that Ah Xiu's temperament was too jumpy and frivolous, and it was not suitable for Ah Ning, especially Ah Ning is the one who will inherit the throne, and he should be assisted by a more mature and stable husband...... Now it seems, alas, that was a wrong move. If it had been ...... Alas, the Far East is not a problem at all, and we do not have to worry about many things now. ”

Although he can be called a skilled politician. But after all, she is still a young girl, and when she was told about her marriage in person, Zi Chuanning couldn't help but Xia Fei's cheeks: "Uncle, what are you talking about!" People haven't gotten to the point where they can't get married! ”

"Hehe, my niece is so beautiful. You definitely don't have to worry about getting married, but with your status, it is difficult to find someone who can accompany you. Looking at Zi Chuan Ning kindly, and then at the two important ministers, Zi Chuan Shenxing smiled bitterly: "Originally, I was more optimistic about Lin Yunfei of the Lin family. He came from a prominent family, was wise and capable, and I heard that he was also a very handsome young man. It's a pity that he was too short-lived. ”

Di Lin: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. The things in it have their own providence. If His Excellency Xiuchuan had been appointed as the husband of His Royal Highness Ning, then he would not have made a trip to the Far East, let alone his current achievements. ”

"Hehe, that's true."

Seeing that Zi Chuanning's face was as red as an apple, and he didn't want the heir of the family to be too embarrassed, Di Lin cleared his throat. Lang Sheng said: "There is also the third thing about the chief minister's entrustment, to investigate the movements of the wind and frost and the Lin family. We're working hard too. At the moment, it seems. Both the Windstorm and the Riverhill government still want to maintain friendly relations with us. The Storm has sent troops to occupy the area around Canaan's camp on the shores of Lake Duolun, but this is likely to be just a means of exerting diplomatic pressure on us, and they have no intention of expanding the war. ”

"How so?"

"The Wandering Wind Army did not massively assemble food and grass and troops. The elite Crusader troops were still stationed in various places, and the commanders gave the soldiers the rest as usual, and there was no sense of the tension of the impending war in the Blue City. Moreover, if the wind and frost intend to invade our northwest on a large scale, the Canan battalion, as a bridgehead and a cemetery for advancement, will inevitably have to send heavy troops. But at present, there is only one wing of the Flowing Wind and Frost stationed in Canaan City. And it was a local garrison, not a crusader force. This proved that she did not really want to go to war in an all-out way. ”

Listening to Di Lin speak slowly, Zichuan Shenxing turned happy and kept nodding. It's not so much that Di Lin said a lot of reason, but that what Di Lin said is exactly what he wants to hear: the family can't afford a big war anymore.

"And what about the Lin family?"

Speaking of the Lin family, Di Lin's expression became serious: "Your Highness, the movements of the Lin family are quite weird. Their regular army was not assembled, but they formed a new secret force, and it was this secret force that carried out the order of the Presbyterian Church and purged the Lin family's army, causing the November coup. It is estimated that this force numbered around 8,000 men, and they were not normally assigned to the Security Agency, but were directly under the orders of the Council of Elders. Since October last year, His Highness, the Lin family's movements have become very strange, in the middle of October last year, their army suddenly had a large-scale build-up in Heqiu, with a total strength of nearly 300,000 troops in one hundred and twenty wings, but a week later, they were all disbanded, and the troops were sent back to their respective stations. ”

"Lin Rui has already explained this to me. At that time, we were preparing to fight the Bataan war, and the Lin family was worried that we would not be able to withstand it, so they made contingency preparations in advance and quickly reorganized their armaments for war. Later, when they saw that our army had won, they were relieved, so they lifted their guard, which is normal, right? ”

Di Lin smiled and said, "Your Highness, is this how the Lin family explained?" Fortunately, the two generals, Sterling and Zichuan Xiu, were brave enough to defeat the main force of the demon clan in Bataan, otherwise...... Hey. ”

"Dilin, what do you mean by that?"

"Wechen is just weird. At the beginning, when the Yer Ma soldiers came to the city of Danya, the situation was even more dangerous than fighting Bataan, but the Lin family was sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops without help-even the wind and frost knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and came all the way to rescue us, but the Lin family, who was close at hand and had a good relationship with us, stood by and watched. As for the Battle of Bataan, the situation of our army was not very critical. Even if the Southeast Army and the Far East Army are defeated, our army still has the Imperial Capital Army, and there are still reinforcements stationed on the banks of the Vanie River, and the demons will not be able to threaten the Lin family, but at this time, they mobilized themselves and gathered a large army. If this army is to help us, it is not like: the main battlefield is around the imperial capital, and they have gathered their forces in the river hills, thousands of miles away from the battlefield! Your Highness, Wei Chen has always had a doubt: if our army suffers a setback in the Battle of Bataan, how will the Lin family's assembled 300,000 army act? ”

Zichuan Shenxing's face changed slightly: "Di Lin, do you mean that the Lin family wanted to ...... at that time?"

"Your Highness, without evidence, Weichen doesn't dare to say anything. However, the actions of the Lin family did make Weichen puzzled. According to their arrangement, it is too late to reinforce the imperial capital or Bataan; If you want to raid Danya and seize the southwest, it is an excellent position to set up in the river hill. ”

As soon as Di Lin said this, the faces of all the people in the room changed.

Zichuan Sanxing looked at Ge Shan, and the chief of staff nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't understand military affairs, but what the Inspector said seems to be very reasonable. ”

Last year, together with Zichuan Shenxing, Luo Minghai and other high-ranking officials, Goshan was besieged by Yerma's demon army in Danya and was almost forced to commit suicide. Although he was rescued by the wind and frost in the end, since then, everyone has no good impression of Heqiu, who is not saved when he sees death.

Zichuan Shenxing groaned: "Di Lin, how is the strength of the Lin family?" ”

"Your Highness, the Lin family has a standing army of 500,000 and a reserve army of nearly 3 million. Their army equipment is the best among the countries on the mainland, and the troops in front of the bow have undergone the most rigorous training, and the quality of the strong bows equipped is unparalleled in the world. Moreover, their richness is the highest on the mainland, and their material reserves are sufficient, so they can launch a war of 300,000 people for half a year without collecting grain and grass.

"In terms of the suddenness and concealment of war, they are more dangerous than the Flowing Wind and Frost, which is a consideration of the teeth and claws, and although arrogant, her minions have been grinded; And the Lin family in the southwest is a cobra that is poised to lurk in the shadows, always eyeing the tiger.

"Fortunately, this country does not have a belligerent tradition and the strength of fighting to the end, and the southwestern ethnic group also lacks a fierce national character, and the affluent life has made the Lin family leadership lose the courage to take risks, and their political system is relatively enlightened, which is the only thing that reassures us. In such a country, if there is a wise and ambitious leader, it will be a great threat to us. ”

Zi Chuanning interjected with interest and asked, "Inspector Elder, then according to you, is the incoming new patriarch Lin Rui a wise and ambitious leader?" ”

Di Lin glanced at her and only signed one word: "Yes." ”

Zichuan Shenxing groaned: "I understand. Dilin, you have done a good job of these things, and I am very satisfied. You have to continue to strengthen the reconnaissance of the Lin family, and find a way to find out, what is Lin Rui's calculations? ”

"Aning, Goshan, what you heard today is confidential, and you don't want to leak it. Although secretly a little suspicious, the Lin family is hostile after all, and our foreign policy has not changed at present, so we still maintain friendship with it. ”

"Understood, Your Highness."

Di Lin and Ge Shan got up to say goodbye, and Zichuan Shenxing and Zichuan Ning sent the two important ministers to the door.
