Chapter Ninety-Six: Alliances
Lin Rui's heart moved, and the light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and said lightly: "President Ai, Mei Zhantian is the head of the Shuiyue County Armed Forces A Regiment, a shadow-level martial artist, you want me to be a physical martial arts level fighter to deal with him, you can't help but look up to me too much, right?" ”
"And I haven't enjoyed enough of this fancy world, I don't want to give my life early, I think it's better for you to find someone else, I can't afford such a burden." Lin Rui said lazily.
Hearing Lin Rui's poor words, Yue Ling'er felt an urge to laugh in her heart, and turned her head to glance at Lin Rui. This guy, facing the water moon county martial arts master level figure, the water moon county fighting center president of the emily, this guy not only refused the other party's request, but actually made a joke.
But Yue Ling'er also secretly admired Lin Rui's courage in her heart, in the face of martial arts power and authority, she could cultivate her mind stably, and she would not succumb to the identity of the other party and lose her self-judgment, which showed that this guy was also extremely psychologically mature.
Thinking of Lin Rui in the years of extreme waste, he did not lose the dignity and arrogance of this dignified man, and this spirit of insisting on himself made Yue Ling'er feel heartbroken.
When Améli heard Lin Rui's refusal, she only smiled slightly, and was not angry, as a shadow-level martial artist, she could be regarded as an old fox-level figure in the empire, Lin Rui had some scruples in her heart, how could she not know?
Améli said softly: "Lin Rui, I know you have some concerns in your heart, but I can swear with my personality that if you deal with Mei Zhantian with us, we will be allies and partners, we are equals, and we will give you full support and not let you have any worries." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Bu secretly sneered in Lin Rui's divine sense, and said: "Hmph, of course what you said when you join the gang is out of the sky, if you really become your pawn, maybe you will be betrayed at a critical time." ”
For Xiao Bu, who was once the supreme Guardian Spirit Venerable, he had traveled through countless cosmic interfaces, and had seen too many human beings scheming and intriguing with each other, Xiao Bu believed from experience that transactions and alliances without considerable strength were absolutely unreliable.
In fact, Lin Rui also had the same concerns, but when he heard Amily's oath, his heart moved, after all, the oath of a character like Améli still has a lot of weight, which is enough for Lin Rui to seriously consider the other party's suggestion.
At the same time, this suggestion also had Yue Wujian involved, and after reading the letter left by Lin Tiannan, Lin Rui also knew that Yue Wujian was his own uncle.
As the saying goes, seeing an uncle is like seeing a mother, for Lin Rui, whose parents have not been by his side and has lived a helpless life for many years, he instinctively has an indescribable sense of intimacy with this uncle, especially in the Imperial Intercollegiate Fighting Competition, Lin Rui and Yue Wujian met for a moment, which made Lin Rui feel a kind of care that he had never felt before, just like his mother's care.
And Yue Ling'er, as a cousin, has also been helping herself a lot, which makes Lin Rui feel in his heart that the other party should not harm him.
After thinking about it, Lin Rui said to Xiao Bu in his divine sense: "Xiao Bu, didn't you say before that you want to use the achievements of the fighting championship to gain your own power as soon as possible?" I feel that if we make good use of this force, we will not only be able to gain more protection for my growth time, but more importantly, we will have more confidence in dealing with Mei Zhantian. ”
After all, even if they don't say anything about it, Lin Rui knows that sooner or later he will have to face Mei Zhantian, and with his own strength, even if he goes against the sky, he will undoubtedly be far inferior to Mei Zhantian a year later!
Xiao Bu nodded and said, "What you said is also good, and you are cultivating safely and steadily, it is better to face some challenges, and at the same time you can get the best chance of improving yourself while fighting danger." However, Lin Rui, we must seize the initiative and not become someone else's pawn! ”
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I'll take care of it!" ”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Rui looked up at Ai Meili and said: "President Ai, since you are so sincere in your invitation, I will not hide it, I personally and Mei Zhantian have also formed some bonds, even if you don't say it, I will deal with him, but if you want to deal with Mei Zhantian together, some things are better to understand each other first, the kid has a few questions, and I hope President Ai can answer them." ”
Amélie nodded and said, "You have any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say them!" ”
Lin Rui said: "The kid wants to deal with Mei Zhantian because he intends to kill me, but why do you want to deal with him, and why don't you do it yourself?" If you want the kid to deal with Mei Zhantian together, what do you need me to do? What kind of support can you give me? ”
Améli thought for a while and said, "Lin Rui, the few questions you asked are extremely confidential, but since we took the initiative to invite you to join, it is also appropriate to tell you, we deal with Mei Zhantian because we think that he has the ambition to form a rebellion and seize the entire empire!" ”
Lin Rui was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "In that case, why didn't you report to the imperial royal family and arrest him for interrogation?" ”
At this time, Principal Custer sighed lightly and said: "However, the evidence is insufficient, this Mei Zhantian is extremely cunning, he has installed many of his own forces in the empire, but each force is controlled through agents, and he himself does not come forward in person, so it is really difficult to catch the direct evidence of his rebellion." ”
Améli continued: "At the same time, as far as we know, some princes and county kings of the empire, as well as local officials who have colluded with Mei Zhantian, also have unscrupulous elements who hope to take advantage of the chaos and tear the land to claim the king, so they also turn a blind eye to Mei Zhantian's ambitions. ”
"If we do it against Mei Zhantian now without direct evidence, we will not only startle the snake, but also let some rebel forces that we don't know about yet be hidden, and we will not be able to uproot these imperial tumors. What's more serious is that once Mei Zhantian slows down and fights back, there will undoubtedly be great danger to the forces that maintain the stability of the empire. ”
Lin Rui nodded and said, "So you hope to find a civilian who is not a powerful figure in the empire and has a personal vendetta against Mei Zhantian to deal with Mei Zhantian, not only can you reduce the impact of dealing with Mei Zhantian, but also hide the true intention of dealing with Mei Zhantian, so that Mei Zhantian and his rebel forces will not be easy to detect." On the other hand, you can also wait for the opportunity to collect evidence of Mei Zhantian's rebellion and wipe them out in the future. ”
Hearing Lin Rui's words, Amélie and Custer smiled at each other, and Améli said, "Lin Rui, you are really smart, what you said is right, this is exactly our intention." ”
Yue Ling'er was also secretly surprised, this guy usually looks like he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do when he is in class and cultivating, but this thinking ability is really good!
Lin Rui closed his eyes and thought about it, this is indeed a good strategy, and he can also use this power to gain valuable time for his growth and strengthen his own strength.
Améli continued: "As for what we need you to do, it is to let you gradually uproot some of Mei Zhantian's underground forces in the empire, including colluding sect gangs, private equity legions, intelligence sites, storage treasure troves, etc., while fighting Mei Zhantian's forces, while collecting evidence of his rebellion. ”
"And the support we give you is to provide you with relevant information and intelligence about Mei Zhantian and his forces, and to help you when you encounter some situations that you can't deal with."
"In addition, I will personally impart to you some insights of cultivation energy as a reward for you. Lin Rui, I really hope that you can become a powerful force to protect my Dongling Empire in the future! ”
After Améli finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Lin Rui with expectant eyes, waiting for his answer.
And Principal Custer, Yue Ling'er and Mira were also quietly waiting for Lin Rui's answer.
Suddenly, Lin Rui exhaled heavily, opened his eyes and said, "President Ai, although I don't know how I can make you value you so much, and to be honest, I don't know much about you. But I believe that a person of your skill would not do anything to break his promise, so I accept your proposal! ”
Amelie smiled and said, "Very good, happy cooperation, Lin Rui!" ”
Lin Rui smiled and said, "As for what you said about teaching me some cultivation insights...... Lin Rui is extremely concerned about improving his cultivation!
Amélie laughed and said, "Don't worry, after you join the Water Moon Palace Fighting Club, Principal Custer and Mira Xiaoyou will naturally arrange for you to come to the Fighting Center, and I will do my best to teach you at that time!" ”
Lin Rui was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, President Ai!" ”
After Lin Rui, Yue Ling'er and Mira left the conference hall, leaving only Principal Custer and Amery, Custer turned his head and asked Amery, "How did you check that matter?" ”
Ameli shook her head and said: "No result, after the fighting competition, I asked my friends from the Imperial Intelligence Department to investigate, and the information that came back a few days ago is that not only the Dongling Empire, but also the surrounding empires have not seen any massacres in this year, let alone the large-scale disappearance of the population." ”
"And because of what happened in the past few years, the sea road to the main island was sealed by energy, and the people above the shadow master could not enter and leave the main island, so they couldn't inquire about the specific situation of the Battle Dragon Immortal Island, but I think Lin Rui shouldn't have a way to enter the Dragon Immortal Island in the past six months, and he won't enter the Dragon Immortal Island."
Because of Lin Rui's extremely bloody killing aura in the Imperial Intercollegiate Fighting Competition, the two of them launched an investigation into him!
Custer nodded and said: "It seems that there are really a lot of secrets on this Lin Rui, I really don't know how the killing aura of his body is cultivated, such a strong killing aura even me, at that time, there was a palpitation!" ”
Améli took a sip of tea and said: "Although this is the case, we know that he killed one of Mei Zhantian's henchmen, and even destroyed a key stronghold of Mei Zhantian in the Beiyue District, and Mei Zhantian has formed a great enmity, and the two sides have become fire and water, and now Lin Rui's strength is stronger." The more powerful our plan is, isn't it? ”
"Hehe, Principal Custer, and what you don't know is that according to the intelligence investigation, this Lin Ruike has an unusual relationship with the Chengtian Royal Mansion of the Tianji Empire, according to the intelligence, in order to save Lin Rui from Mei Zhantian's underground fighting arena, the Royal Mansion even mobilized the Hundred Flowers Mother-in-law Hua Zhixiao!"
What the! Custer was also shocked, this guy actually has such a force behind him? If you can get the support of the Heavenly Extreme Empire's Chengtian Palace, then you will undoubtedly be more sure to deal with Mei Zhantian!
Custer's eyes lit up and he muttered, "Chengtian King's Mansion, huh? Could it be that this Lin Rui still knows the Heavenly Extreme Empire's Imperial Qi Fighting Master, 'Lingwu Heavenly King' Ouyang Leiyin? ”
Thinking of this, Custer couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed: "Interesting, interesting, I appreciate this Lin Rui more and more now, hahahaha!" ”
The two laughed at each other, and the laughter continued to echo in the meeting hall of the Water Moon Palace.
