Chapter 562: Wind and Snow in the Capital! [a]
Upper capital.
The vast territory of the Southeast Alliance, millions of stars, and the only city that can be qualified to be named Shangjing is Shangjing, which is the capital of the Southeast Alliance.
This city is not only the most famous city of the southeastern allies, but also the most famous city in the whole of ASEAN.
With a heavenly palace named after a legend of the ancient civilization, it is conceivable that the prosperity and heritage of the capital city, except for the northern underworld that ordinary people do not know, the capital can be said to be the city with the most nobles in the entire ASEAN.
Not only because there are many nobles here, but also because there are countless famous institutions here, such as the parliament building of the Southeast Allied States, the headquarters of the ASEAN Parliament, and the only two state-level offices of the United Parliament, in addition to the only museum of ancient civilizations in the universe.
Even the ancient civilization kept secret by the nobles has been built here in a grand way for ordinary people to visit, and it can be seen from this alone how special the capital is.
Shangjing may not be the richest, most vibrant, or even the most technological, the most livable city in the universe, but this city must be the most profound city in the entire universe.
The original southeastern allies, even dating back to the era when nemesis ruled the universe, this city already existed, and after tens of thousands of years of wind and rain, Shangjing City is definitely one of the oldest cities in the entire universe.
At this moment, Li Tomb stands in front of the city's retro airport, modern technology and retro garden-style architecture are in perfect harmony, and it is said that at the beginning, the people who built the capital city wanted to try to replicate a legendary heavenly court.
It's a pity that the vicissitudes of life are easy to change, after all, this place still hasn't become a heavenly court on the earth, and it can't be like the Northern Underworld, a city that completely belongs to the nobility.
Anyway, though. The city itself still brings a kind of arrogance engraved in the bones of the people living in the city, which has been with a smell of arrogance since Li Tomb got on the airport flying car.
"You're here for a tour, aren't you? You must go to the Naguo Mansion, there is also the Ancient Civilization Exhibition Hall, and ...... These are places that you don't see anywhere else. That's right. Ancient civilization, you know? It is said to be a civilization from a long time ago......"
The driver was chosen by Hathaway online, and with the current strength of the Secret Service Department, it is not enough to have an office in Shangjing, where every inch of land is expensive.
Hathaway listened to the driver's fragmented thoughts with some embarrassment, secretly glanced at Li Tomb, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and quickly interrupted the driver's words.
The driver pouted, although he was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much, and drove with his head down. Hathaway, who was sitting in the co-pilot, breathed a sigh of relief. As Li Tomb's secretary, she still knows a little about Li Tomb's purpose of coming to the capital this time.
However, she is not an aristocrat after all, and she doesn't know what it means to be the person Li Tomb really wants to deal with, but she also knows that the matter involving a member of the parliament is definitely not a trivial matter, not to mention that this councilor is also a member of the superpower of the Southeast Alliance.
The car in which Li Tomb was riding stopped at a hotel some distance from the city. The hotel is Hathaway's choice, a seven-star hotel. But after I really saw it, I realized that this is just a most ordinary express hotel, and the name is a seven-star hotel.
This made Hathaway angry and a little frightened at the same time, she didn't expect that she was wrong about just booking a hotel. But who would have thought that the people of Shangjing would be so shameless as to use such tricks to deceive people.
Hathaway was angry and wanted to go to the hotel to theorize, Li Tomb waved his hand, "No need." Just stay for one day. ”
"But. Section Chief ......"
Hathaway was a little aggrieved, but the hotel manager was relieved, just a section chief, but there was no need to worry.
Li Tomb didn't know what the hotel manager was thinking, but now he found that when he mastered the Glorious Realm, his emotions became more and more inhuman, and it was difficult to look at the world with the psychology of ordinary people.
So many things that ordinary people care about are actually meaningless to him. He stood at the door, did not rush into the hotel, raised his head, looked at the sky, and soon a red shadow rolled in the air, as fast as lightning, and landed on the shoulder of Li Tomb.
Hathaway's eyes froze, and she looked at the red mutant parrot standing on the shoulder of Li Tomb scratching her head with some surprise, she remembered that when she got on the spaceship, she didn't see this color bird, but she didn't know where it came out of nowhere.
The red mutant parrot grimaced at Hathaway, and then telepathically sent what she had detected in the air to Lee's mind.
Li Tomb thoughtfully, turned his eyes, looked at a high-end hotel not far from here, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then patted the red mutant parrot, let it fly away, and then turned around and walked into the hotel.
"He found us."
In the suite of the high-end hotel, several figures stood in front of the window, and one of them smiled bitterly.
"It's normal, after all, it's the section chief."
Several figures were not too surprised, looked at each other, and then fell silent. These people are exactly the ones who should lead the task and go to other star fields to carry out Lin Youde and the others, and even the timid Zhang Xun is there.
Although Li Tomb decided to carry out the task of capturing Liu Zaihu alone and let them go on other tasks, how could Lin Youde and the others really leave with confidence.
On the surface, even if Li Tomb failed, it didn't seem to have any effect on them, but in fact, Lin Youde and the others knew that since they entered the secret service department, they had actually been tied to Li Tomb. If Li Tomb fails, then even if their mission is successful, it will be meaningless.
In the first stage of the development of the Secret Service Section, there is absolutely no failure to be withstanded. Lin Youde had thought about persuading Li Tomb to temporarily give up the task of arresting Liu Zaihu, but unfortunately he failed. Li Tomb took over this task alone, and he had no basis to convince Li Tomb.
Now that he is here, he does not want to help Li Tomb. Of course, if Li Tomb had the possibility of success, they would naturally be willing to add the icing on the cake and start the name of the Secret Service Department in World War I. And if Li Tomb fails, they will not hesitate to abandon Li Tomb and protect themselves.
Lin Youde doesn't feel shameless, this is the reality, he believes that Li Tomb also knows this, and he also believes that Li Tomb will not care about this.
Because he saw confidence in Li Tomb's eyes, he could control their self-confidence. To be able to target a count with the first shot, or even involve a character from a marquis, you must have such confidence, otherwise why does Li Tomb think that he can control the secret service department that is destined to be extremely inflated in the future.
"So what do we do now? Just look at it? Or do you want to go to see the section chief? ”
Zhang Xun had the least sense of presence among the several people, and asked calmly at the moment.
"Stupid. Don't forget that we're on a mission right now, and appearing in front of him at this time doesn't it make it clear that we are watching the fire from the other side? ”
Chen Yizhou said angrily, also a little embarrassed, "But he has already discovered us?" It also seems a bit bad to continue to hide. ”
Chen Yizhou said, and the eyes of others also fell on Lin Youde.
Lin Youde was silent for a moment, "The task was chosen by himself, and it is inconvenient for us to intervene, if he asks in the future, everyone will tell the truth." ”
Zhang Xun still didn't react to Lin Youde's meaning, but Chen Yizhou and the others nodded and said they understood. Indeed, if Li Tomb succeeds in this mission, then the power of arresting Liu Zaihu will be encouraged, and Li Tomb does not need to ask them again. And if Li Tomb fails, then he is not qualified to ask them.
"So, we just need to watch the theater now?"
Chen Yizhou asked.
Lin Youde shook his head and looked at Zhang Xun, "Your Excellency Zhang Xun, it seems that I will still trouble you." What do you have to do with Shangjing, you might as well contact them all to see what kind of relationship network the Liu family has in Shangjing? ”
Zhang Xun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lin Youde to suddenly hand over the matter of inquiring about the news to him. In fact, Lin Youde naturally has a way to find out about the Liu family's network, and he will definitely be more comprehensive than Zhang Xun.
But he still chose to hand over this matter to Zhang Xun, and not only that, but he also handed over some other things to Chen Yizhou and them.
Lin Youde has his own ambitions, he didn't come to Beijing to watch a play, he made two preparations, if Li Tomb succeeds, then what they do now can also be explained on Li Tomb. And if Li Tomb fails, then he will not let Liu Zaihu go.
Therefore, for the current Lin Youde, it is best for Li Tomb to fight with the Liu family, which is the best situation for him.
Li Tomb may have guessed his plan, but he didn't care, just like Li Tomb came to Beijing alone, and wanted to use the Liu family to establish his unparalleled authority in the secret service department and create the glory of the secret service department. This is Li Tomb's scheme, and he can't stop it.
And now he is doing the same conspiracy, what you Li Tomb can't do, I, Lin Youde, have done it, so Li Tomb should naturally give way and retire.
Li Tomb did more or less guess the purpose of Lin Youde gathering everyone to follow him to Shangjing, but as Lin Youde thought, he didn't care.
Even the so-called purpose of his trip that Lin Youde had thought about carefully, Li Tomb actually didn't think much about it. His idea is very simple, if you want the secret service department to develop quickly, you must find someone with enough qualifications to stand up. Whether it's the authority of the secret service department, or the authority of him, in short, find someone stronger, kill it, and then call it a day.
He didn't have the heart to ponder too many intrigues and power struggles, because he knew better than anyone else that in the coming era, there would be only power, and it would be true!
So Li Tomb spent the night quietly in the humble room of the express hotel, which is known as a seven-star hotel, and waited until dawn, took a bath, had breakfast by the way, looked at the time, and then went out. (To be continued......)
