Xia Zhi's words were quite appalling, but judging from the looks of Qianxi and the man codenamed 'Chu Xia', it was obvious that they were both very aware of these things, not random speculation.

After a long time, Du Mu digested the news and said in a deep voice: "Then do you know who is doing ghosts behind your back?"

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhicai continued: "After the disappearance of the leader, Lord Yuanyue, the most powerful, temporarily assumed the position of leader and was responsible for coordinating and organizing a number of affairs, while Lord March and Lord May were obsessed with exploring the ruins and paid little attention to organizational affairs, and the remaining nine top cadres were left behind in the three countries of the Asian Federation, the Fire Silver Merchant Alliance, and the White Eagle Empire to be responsible for local affairs. ”

"Each country is in charge of three top officials, for example, the Asian Federation is in charge of the Lords of April, July, and December, and the White Eagle Empire is in charge of February, June, and September. ”

Noticing the change of titles in Xia Zhi's words, Du Mu suddenly understood in his heart, it seemed that it was these three top cadres who were blocking behind him, and they happened to be in charge of the White Eagle Empire, and it was indeed not difficult to block the investigation on their own territory.

"February, June, and September are all members of the White Eagle Empire's ruling class, and I suspect that they colluded with the Empire to design the disappearance of Nian. Pei Manmei's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, "As for the purpose, it is likely to control the annual rings." ”

Du Mu nodded secretly, the power of the annual rings is so huge that it is not even inferior to any country, if the White Eagle Empire can control the annual rings, it may really be able to unify the world, and most of the high-level officials of the empire are in this idea.

"The purpose of the annual ring has always been not to participate in the war between countries, and when the 'year' was still there, no one dared to violate this code even if it was the highest cadre, but with his disappearance, the three of them have been acting more and more unscrupulously recently, using the power of the organization to help the White Eagle Empire extract a lot of benefits, and the other cadres either stay out of the matter and ignore it, or they are beyond the reach of the whip and cannot stop them......"

Speaking of this, Pei Man rubbed his eyebrows, showing a trace of helplessness on his face.

The reason why the annual ring has developed to such a scale is largely due to the fact that it does not participate in the code of national politics, so that many officials and members of large families can join it, and once the code is broken, the annual ring will become a battlefield of competition and struggle between various forces in the blink of an eye, and it will not be far from destruction.

After being silent for a few seconds, Pei Man restrained his emotions and said, "Anyway, this time we were lucky, and we accidentally got a clue to the destruction of the Golden Feather Knights that year. ”

She looked at Du Mu and continued in a deep voice: "Yuan Changjun, the deputy head of the Golden Feather Knights, who was announced to the public that he was seriously injured and died, did not actually die, but faked his death and escaped, living incognito in a remote countryside of the White Eagle Empire, what I hope you will do is to find him and bring him back to the Federation!"

The room suddenly fell silent, except for Xia Zhi, a trace of surprise flashed on the faces of Qianxi and 'Chu Xia' at the same time, obviously the two of them only learned the specific content of the clue now.

Du Mu was puzzled: "Why did you choose me? Among all the people present, my strength is not the highest, right?"

Pei Man shook his head: "February and the others have a very deep control over the White Eagle Empire, and it is basically impossible to hide from them to enter the territory of the empire, and we have been at odds with them for a long time because of the investigation of the destruction of the Golden Feather Knights, if they enter the territory of the empire for no reason, most of them will guess that we have some kind of clue, so they will be highly monitored throughout the whole process, and the plan will naturally be impossible." ”

"But you're different!"

"The exchange group is not something we are pushing behind the scenes, but a traditional project of the highest martial arts science academies of the three major countries over the years, and as the second seat of the Star Luo Academy, it is almost inevitable that you will join the exchange group, we only need to guide you in the dark to ensure that you are joining the exchange group going to the White Eagle Empire!"

"You have enough reasons and motives, February and the others will not suspect this, they will only monitor you as necessary but not strictly, you can find an opportunity to avoid surveillance, go to Yuan Changjun's hiding place, bring him back to the Federation, I will arrange for people to meet you at the border, as long as you return to the Federation, it will be my territory!" Pei Man said solemnly.

Du Mu nodded abruptly and said, "Last question, to what extent has Yuan Changjun's strength weakened?"

If Yuan Changjun was still an internal qi realm martial artist, Pei Man would definitely not let him carry out this task, so Du Mu concluded that after Yuan Changjun's injuries healed, his strength would probably drop a lot.

Hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Pei Man's eyes, and he chuckled: "It should be between seven and eight stars, and the highest will not exceed the peak of eight stars!"

Du Mu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, so that he was more sure of bringing him back to the Federation.

"I'll do my best!"

Pei Man smiled slightly: "Okay, because this matter has to be carried out in private, without going through the organization, so there is no meritorious reward, as compensation, I will give it to you in private...... Well...... How about an Inner Qi Seed?"

Du Mu thought for a while and nodded heavily: "No problem!"

"Okay, I'll give you the specific plan of action the day before the exchange group leaves!"

After finalizing this matter, the purpose of this gathering was basically completed, and everyone chatted a few more words, and then prepared to disperse.

Before leaving, Qianxi whispered to Du Mu.

"Stay safe!"

"I will. Du Mu said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, there's one thing I forgot to tell you. ”

Xia Zhi's voice sounded in his ears, and the latter came to Du Mu's side at some point.

"Each cadre has the right to designate an assistant, and you'd better arrange one as well, so that it will be more convenient to carry out tasks, inquire about information, or handle affairs in the future. ”

"Assistant?" Du Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression moved, "Can anyone be appointed?"

"It has to be a member of the annual ring, if it is a peripheral member, you can directly accept your fate, but if you have an ordinary member of the rank, you need the consent of the person concerned, you know, the latter and the annual ring are strictly speaking, just a cooperative relationship. ”

"Of course, generally no one will refuse, and the welfare benefits of cadre assistants are even higher than those of Tuyao-level members. ”

"I see. ”

A smiling figure suddenly flashed in Du Mu's mind, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and he asked Xia Zhi, "I remember that Red Phosphorus is an ordinary member, right?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "That's right, she is now a member of the Mu Yao level, and you plan to appoint her as an assistant?"

"Well, red phosphorus is very good at work. ”

"In that case, I'll ask for you, and I'll get back to you later. ”

"Okay, thank you!"
