Chapter 164: The Secret of the Snow Qing Palace

Eder in the Poole Star District, as if it had become the administrative center of the Riyan Empire, was brightly lit.

"Get out!"

Lin Bin's shout suddenly came from the council hall, and Li Hua, who was just about to raise his feet to enter the hall, subconsciously became excited. Before his frozen right foot could fall, the antique temple door was pushed open, and an officer of the Imperial Military Intelligence Department slammed out with a pale face.

"General Dugu?" Li Hua stopped the MID officer in surprise. This person Dugu Hao, the new Minister of Military Intelligence, is actually the backbone elite of the Iron Blood Legion formed by Lin Bin.

"General Lee!" Dugu Hao shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.

"Bixia is in a ...... mood" The corners of Li Hua's mouth twitched, and he asked in a low voice.

"This is the latest information about the Republic of St. Prori, do you think Bixia's face can still look good?" Dugu Hao shook a paper top-secret document in his hand and said with a mocking expression. He and Li Hua studied at the same military academy in their early years, and they were old friends, and they were quite honest between the two, and they always had something to say.

"I've wronged you!" Li Hua raised his hand and patted Dugu Hao's shoulder, comforting him kindly.

"What are you?" Dugu Hao smiled helplessly at first, and then looked at Li Hua's empty hands with some surprise.

"It's the news of the Tiger Ben Special Combat Team, it can only be passed on by mouth!" Li Hua shrugged his shoulders apologetically.

"Understood! Be careful, Bixia is angry! Dugu Hao understood what Li Hua meant, even if they had a good relationship, but as a celebrity around Emperor Bixia, Li Hua sometimes couldn't casually leak some so-called secrets.

"Thank you, please drink flower wine back night!" Li Hua smiled, turned sideways to let go of Dugu Hao, and stepped into the main hall with his feet raised.

Designed almost entirely after the main hall of the ancient emperors, this hall is an antique one, with a carpet of precious and thick bright red felt leading down to nine steps on the bluestone brick floor, flanked by stout dark yellow bronze pillars. In the dim light, some pale blue figures can be vaguely seen in the distant corners.

β€œbixia!” Li Hua didn't have the heart to pay attention, there would be some secret guards in the weishenme hall, walked quickly to the bottom of the nine steps, and respectfully gave a military salute.

"What's the matter?" On the top of the nine steps, in front of a golden dragon chair, Lin Bin, whose face was blue and white, was pacing back and forth anxiously. Hearing Li Hua speak, Lin Bin stopped and asked in a cold voice.

"Something happened to the Tiger Warriors sent to Morita and Chakra!" Seeing Lin Bin's unhappy face, Li Hua's throat swelled, and finally said it.

"Something happened again?" When Lin Bin heard this, his sword eyebrows furrowed more and more, and his fair face, which was originally quite well maintained, was terrifyingly black at the moment, and after his eyes flickered for a while, he said coldly: "Say it directly!" ”

"Yes, Bixia!" Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly reported: "Half an hour ago, the commander of the Tiger Ben Special Combat Team sent back a message that the two special operations squadrons sent to hijack the heads of the second and fourth theaters were ambushed by the enemy one after another, and nearly two hundred special combat team members were all shattered!" ”

"Bang!" Li Hua's voice fell, and Lin Bin's iron fist slammed on the long case in front of him, and his gloomy face turned out to be hideous: "What the hell is going on!" ”

"The exact reason is not clear! However, according to the report of the commander of the Tiger Ben Special Combat Team, the other side seems to know that our special combat team members are going to hijack their head of state, and deliberately set a trap to lure our special combat team members into ambush! Lin Bin's cold tone actually made Li Hua's forehead ooze cold sweat slightly.

"Fuck, what the hell are you idiots doing?" The corners of his mouth twitched, and Lin Bin finally suddenly became angry: "How could the tactics and strategies that I used to use in the past suddenly fail?" Could it be that the enemy has become smarter? Or have you idiots become stupid? Yes! Give Lao Tzu an explanation! ”

As he spoke, Lin Bin actually took out the gun from his waist and slammed it on the long case. Li Hua's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Lin Bin's fierce gaze.

"Pass my order, immediately prepare to convene the Supreme Military Council of the Imperial Front, and summon the supreme commanders of all corps to return to the imperial capital immediately! I'll have to see them tomorrow before breakfast! After gasping for a moment, Lin Bin's face finally softened slightly, but his tone still sounded cold and terrifying: "And Dr. Robertson, the head of the Imperial Shiyan Center, is also attending the meeting!" ”

"Yes, Bixia!"

"Let's go down!" Hearing Lin Bin's words, Li Hua gave a military salute again with a sigh of relief, and then turned around and hurriedly walked out of the political hall.

Outside the hall, under the silent night sky, starry, walking briskly through a corridor, Li Hua let out a heavy sullen breath.

In the past few days, for the Riyan Empire, the news of disobedience has been one after another. First of all, because the Zero Jihua was accidentally leaked out, it caused great indignation among the people of the Star Region against the central government of the empire. Then, the news of the use of force by the Imperial Internal Security Forces to suppress demonstrations spread far and wide, and the people's hearts of the Empire changed again. In less than a month, demonstrations against violent rule across the empire intensified, and bloody clashes between the military, police, and internal security forces and the marchers continued to rise. To Zuihou, it even evolved into some small-scale armed **.

Fortunately, after the annexation of the Third Theater and the First Theater directly under the Federation, the Sunflame Empire suspended its military operations with foreign countries. The main corps returned to their respective locations to assist the local internal security forces in maintaining stability in their respective areas. With the support of strong force, the armed ** that popped up from time to time in various parts of the empire were wiped out one after another. The empire as a whole has barely managed to maintain a semblance of stability.

As a celebrity around Lin Bin, Li Hua, who knows too many secrets, knows very well in his heart. Beneath this apparent stability lies an undercurrent that can upend the entire empire. Although this undercurrent is not yet in the climate, in the future, it will definitely develop to the point where it can threaten the existence of the empire.

And what worries Li Hua even more is that after the self-proclaimed emperor, Lin Bin seems to be more and more rigid and self-serving, to the point where he can hardly hear the advice of anyone around him. In order to satisfy his endless desires, Lin Bin ordered a drastic increase in various taxes and some unbelievable tax titles. It can almost be said that by means of wild expropriation, Lin Bin quickly enriched his small treasury and the imperial treasury.

With these astronomical wealth, Lin Bin has built countless palaces for himself on almost every planet, similar to the Wuji Palace, and countless beauties are full of gold and silver treasures. In addition, another part of the wealth was used to expand the armament, and in a very short period of time, the military strength of the Riyan Empire skyrocketed.

All in all, all the characteristics of tyranny have begun to come to the fore, and the Riyan Empire, which originally claimed to provide a carefree and beautiful life for all its people, has gradually lost the support of the people.

At this moment, the S. Prory Republic, which had already been despised by Lin Bin, actually annexed the Sharon Star Region in one fell swoop, and became the third largest Shili after the Riyan Empire and the Restoration Alliance. There is no doubt about this news that Lin Bin, who sees Haoyi as a thorn in his side, is furious. What made Lin Bin even more furious was that the Riyan Empire's attempts to infiltrate the core figures of the two major theaters of the Restoration Alliance through the puppet Jihua failed one after another. And this time, the two elite Tiger Ben special operations squadrons were killed by the other side almost in formation, which was undoubtedly a rather ugly counterattack for the Riyan Empire and Lin Bin.

"Hoo ......"

A wisp of cold wind blew unexpectedly, making Li Hua subconsciously excited, and vaguely he seemed to hear a very weak voice in the wind singing something like a song. Suddenly looking up, a cold palace not far in front of him caught Li Hua's eyes.

Xueqing Palace is said to be a palace specially built by Lin Bin for his deceased wife Zhu Xueer. It's just that I don't know when it began, this already deserted palace is said to be haunted. The maids and guards who passed by here late at night often heard a woman's whispered chant inexplicably.

Some people say that it is Zhu Xueer's soul that is not gone, and some people say that some people with ulterior motives are deliberately creating panic.

No matter what it was, Li Hua didn't have the heart to pay attention to this cold palace before. However, when he unexpectedly heard this voice like the chanting of a dead soul tonight, Li Hua's heart suddenly swelled with curiosity.
