After 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the participants of the Lango River Conference left one after another.

The Iron Sword Manor, which had been lively for more than two months, finally quieted down.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Sword Federation Coalition in the Qingshan Theater, Ma Ang, together with Ye Feihua, the president of the Chinese Association, took a spaceship and quietly came to the Iron Sword Manor.

In the Iron Sword Manor, Ye Feihua saw Yun Dan, and also met Wells, the deacon of the Fangyuan Commercial Bank.

Yun Dan and Wells have been in Iron Sword Manor for a while.

At seven o'clock in the evening, a small drinking party was held in the Juyou Hall in the depths of the Iron Sword Manor.

Most of the participants in the reception were high-level officials from the Iron Sword Federal Foreign Affairs Office, the Lango Federal Foreign Affairs Office, and the Yunxi Principality Foreign Affairs Office, which participated in the Lango River Conference.

After Ye Feihua, Yun Dandan, and Wells followed Maraone into the reception scene, they actually saw an old acquaintance - Fang Ze.

With his back to the door and a wine glass in his hand, Fang Ze was talking about something with Lasiri, the second deputy general of the Federal Foreign Office of Rango.

Ye Feihua and Yun glanced at each other lightly and stopped.

After seeing Ye Feihua and Yun stand still, Maraon and Wells also stopped.

Ye Feihua and Yun Dan had no intention of listening to the conversation between Fang Ze and Lasiri, but Fang Ze and Lasiri had a very loud voice, and the words still reached the ears of Ye Feihua and Yun Dan.

It turned out that Lasiri was questioning Fang's choice.

I only heard Lasiri say loudly: "Elder, after you joined the sect of the Yunshan Principality, you have made a lot of contributions to the Yunshan Principality. As far as I know, there were monks in the towns under the former Principality of Qingshan who organized armies to resist the occupation of the Principality of Yunshan, and the result was that you led the occupation army of the Principality of Yunshan to suppress the rebels. I also heard that from the time you joined the sect of the Principality of Yunshan to the time you turned away from the sect of the Principality of Yunshan, during this period, you slaughtered many people from the sect of the former Principality of Castle Peak. Because of this, you were deeply appreciated by Romano, the suzerain of the Principality of Yunshan, and thus rose to the top of the ranks, and quickly ascended to the position of the elder of the Principality of Yunshan. ”

Then Fang Ze's voice sounded: "My lord, you don't know, for the sake of the overall situation, I have no choice; For the sake of ambition, I can't help myself! Did you know, my lord? For the great cause of the recovery of the Principality of Castle Mountains, sacrifices must be made. Some people choose to fight directly and pay with their lives. I, on the other hand, made a difficult choice that I thought was right, to go deep into the enemy's interior, to endure humiliation, to shed my blood and to pay for a lifetime of fame, just to be able to deliver the most fatal blow to the enemy at the most critical moment! My lord, those of my fellow disciples who have been killed by me are heroes, who have given their lives for the restoration of the principality, and I admire them! This glass of wine, I salute them! ”

Fang Xue was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he spilled the wine in his cup on the ground.

When Fang Ze was swaying his drink, Lasiri dodged to the side, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Maraang, Ye Feihua and others at the gate.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Lasiri screamed.

Fang Ze glanced at Lasiri, then turned around.

When he could see Ye Feihua and Yun Dan at the door, Fang Xue couldn't help but be stunned.

"Haha! Brother Ye! Brother Cloud! Fang Xue quickly reacted, put down the wine glass, smiled, strode towards Ye Feihua, and stretched out his right hand.

Ye Feihua's face was flat, and she shook hands with Fang Xue gently.

"Haha! This reunion is very joyful! Brother Ye! Well done! Fang Xue patted Ye Feihua's arm affectionately.

Ye Feihua didn't make a sound, but just nodded politely at Fang Xue.

"Brother Yun! Now in the sword grinding town, no one knows you! Fang Xue shook Yun lightly again.

Yun smiled faintly at Fang Xue, and then walked inside with Ye Feihua.

Faced with the lukewarm attitude of Ye Feihua and Yun Dandan, Fang Xue didn't care. Fang Ze smiled and walked away.

Regarding Fang Xue's past, Ye Feihua and Yun Dan know a lot about it. And then there is what Fang Xue has done in the Yunxi Principality in the past year, and the two of them also know something. When the Principality of Yunshan was worried about external difficulties, Fang Xue led a group of old subordinates of the former Qingshan Principality who joined the sect of the Principality of Yunshan to defect from the Principality of Yunshan and return to the Principality of Yunxi, which dealt a heavy blow to the Principality of Yunshan politically.

After Fang chose to return to the Principality of Yunxi, he was appointed by Darwin, the suzerainty of the Principality of Yunxi, to the position of the elder of the council.

The people of the former Qingshan Principality Sect who joined the Yunxi Principality Sect back then never forgot to restore the Qingshan Principality, and established a Qingshan Restoration Society in the Yunxi Principality Sect. Although the sect of the Yunxi Principality welcomed Fang Ze, because of the disgraceful history of Fang Ze's defection to the Yunshan Principality and some of the subsequent blood debts committed in the former Qingshan Principality, the Qingshan Restoration Society was full of hostility to Fang Ze, and was also quite resistant to the old sects of the original Qingshan Principality brought by Fang Ze.

Later, Fang Ze carefully packaged and created a tragic hero image for himself, so he was quickly accepted by the Castle Peak Restoration Association and won the trust of the leaders of the Castle Peak Restoration Association.

Fang Xue led a group of old sects of the former Qingshan Principality who had defected from the Yunshan Principality and successfully joined the Qingshan Restoration Society.

After some time, Fang Ze entered the Aoyama Restoration Church of the Patriarchate.

And now, Fang Ze seems to be the central figure of the Castle Peak Restoration Society.

Fang Ze held a wine glass, talked and laughed, and soon got into a good relationship with some high-level officials of the Iron Sword Federal Foreign Affairs Office, the Lango Federal Foreign Affairs Office, and the Yunxi Principality's Foreign Affairs Office.

Maraon, Ye Feihua, Yun Dan, and Wells each took a glass of wine, and then came to a secluded corner.

At the reception, there were some friends that Maraone knew, and some friends who knew Yun Dan and Wells. Although the three of them hid in the corner and kept silent, they were discovered by those friends.

As a result, Maraon, Yun Dan, and Wells had to participate in the entertainment.

Ye Feihua was happy and quiet, so she simply sat on the sofa and buried herself in the darkness.

The lights are not very bright, the ears are filled with beautiful and soothing music, and the air is filled with the aroma of fine wine.

Ye Feihua put down the wine glass and completely snuggled into the sofa, very comfortable.

After coming to this wonderful planet, Ye Feihua enjoyed it for the first time.

However, without allowing Ye Feihua to enjoy a little longer, Maraon hurriedly walked over.

"Elder, the sect master is here, waiting for you listening to the sword building." Maraon leaned down and whispered in Ye Feihua's ear.

Ye Feihua glanced at Maraang, and then stood up.

At the moment, Malaone was in front, Ye Feihua followed closely behind, and the two of them walked out of Juyoutang, walked through a section of boulevard, and came to the Tingjian Xiaozhu in the deeper part of the manor.

The space of the hall is very large, and the decoration is elegant and simple.

In the center of the hall, there is a coffee table and two chairs.

A handsome, gentle middle-aged monk sat in front of the coffee table, boiling tea over a charcoal fire, looking very focused. It was Ji Daoyan, the sect leader of the Iron Sword Federation.

Maraone led Ye Feihua into the hall of the sword building, bowed and retreated, closing the door.

"Sit down!" Ji Daoyan said lightly.

Ye Feihua bowed to Ji Daoyan, and then sat down opposite Ji Daoyan.

"Here, it's just you and me. Speaking of which, this is the first time you and I have spoken alone. I hope that we can have a frank and pleasant exchange. Ji Daoyan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ye Feihua.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Ye Feihua owes her body.

"You led the scandal in Sky City, right?" Ji Daoyan didn't detour, and asked straight to the point.

"Not dominant. The scandal existed in the first place, but it was covered up by the powerful. Our colleagues are simply finding the right opportunity to expose it and let the citizens know. The townsfolk have the right to know these things. Ye Feihua replied.

"The sentiment of the Diamond Principality is so turbulent, and it is also led by your colleagues, right?" Ji Daoyan asked.

"Not dominant. Our colleagues are just helping the people of the city to get the justice they deserve in a non-violent way. Ye Feihua replied.

"For tens of thousands of years, the Senate and the Council of the Principality of Diamond have always been monolithic and very united, which is also one of the most fundamental reasons why the Principality of Diamond can dominate the human race. But now, the Senate of the Principality of Diamonds is divided into many factions, and the Senate is also divided into many factions, and each faction is fighting openly and secretly, and the contradictions have intensified to an irreconcilable level. Your colleagues must have played a big role in this, right? Ji Daoyan continued to ask.

Ye Feihua looked at Ji Daoyan and did not speak.

"In fact, there are also some factions in the Senate of the Iron Sword Federation, and even more factions in the Council. Coordinating the interests of various factions, resolving the contradictions between various factions, maintaining balance among various factions, and trying to avoid internal friction hurting the foundation of the Federation are the top priorities I am always facing. I have to say that what is happening in Sky City in the Principality of Diamonds today has touched me a lot. Now, as a friend, I ask you, what really happened in the city in the sky? I'd like to hear from you personally, and I hope to learn from it. Ji Daoyan said.

Ye Feihua pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Where there are people, there will be disputes. And when it comes to power, the strife is even greater. Power is the bloodiest, whether it is the seizure of power or the exercise of power. Any group derived from power cannot be monolithic, and there must be factions among them. The reason why the factions are closely united and condensed into a whole is only because they have common interests and common goals. There are not many of these factions, usually only two or three, checking and balancing each other, competing with each other, and being in a state of parity. Once the equilibrium is broken, one faction will ruthlessly suppress the other. In the face of power, there is only a stone to fall into the well and kill them all, and no faction will be soft and tolerant of dissidents. In addition to the faction, there is often another type of person in the group - a large number of onlookers, who do not favor any one faction of onlookers. Healthy competition between factions will greatly contribute to progress. If it is vicious competition, it will greatly aggravate internal friction. Our colleagues did something to break the equilibrium between the competing factions in Sky City, but not completely out of balance, and didn't let the competition in Sky City turn into a one-sided dump. Our goal is to intensify the factional competition that is slightly out of balance in Sky City and intensify internal strife. At the same time, the situation is further complicated by stirring up the desires of onlookers, making them ambitious, full of hope, and participating, vying for power and profit. In this way, there was no iron fist to control it in time, so that the situation gradually deteriorated, and in the end, it could not be saved. ”
