Peng Ziyi and his entourage met Bai Yicheng who came down to greet them on the second floor, but Bai Yicheng's next words surprised them.

"Chairman Guo has finally arrived, and this time we finally have the Dinghai Shen Needle. This time, I didn't even have to rest, and hurriedly called everyone over, mainly because the empire had come to the secret envoy, and there were 100,000 urgent things to discuss with us in Hewan New Town, which I arrived in yesterday. ”

"Imperial Secret Envoy?" Guo Qian glanced at Peng Ziyi, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know about it.

"What is their purpose?" asked Guo Qian.

"Let's go upstairs in the room and say. Bai Yicheng turned around and made a gesture to lead the way.

He looked at the special service of the Ministry of Intelligence who accompanied the committee members, looked at Peng Ziyi and asked, "Minister Peng, who are these people?"

Peng Ziyi said lightly: "Now the situation is tense, we have to strengthen security all the way back, this is not directly pulled by you to have a meeting, so our person in charge of security work has not been withdrawn." But now that you're saying that an Imperial envoy has arrived, it's time for my colleagues to take over security. ”

Bai Yicheng said: "There are staff arranged by Jiang Yitian above. ”

"Now that I'm back, I'll take care of it. Peng Ziyi smiled and said, "There won't be too many people to be a security guard." Besides, the fact that the people of the empire see so many of us is enough to show that they value them, isn't it?"

"It's fine. Bai Yicheng did not object, and led the way in front with a normal expression.

After walking a few steps, Bai Yicheng walked to the position of being shoulder to shoulder with Guo Qian, and whispered to Guo Qian: "Chairman Guo, the visit of the imperial envoy was actually facilitated by Chang Lin. ”

"How?"

"It's a well-known secret that the Empire has intelligence agents operating within our borders, but we haven't caught any really valuable fish before. When you went out to inspect before, Jiang Yitian found a contact point set up here by the Imperial people based on the clues accumulated before. After interrogation, it was found that the contacts left here by the Imperial people had a lot of influence in the country.

Isn't it just the plague that broke out in Heimu Pass, Vice Chairman Chang learned that the empire was also panicking, and some people had already thought of withdrawing troops, so he contacted several powerful people in the empire through this person, hoping to achieve the effect of making the enemy withdraw without blood through negotiations. ”

"Who are those so-called power people?" asked Guo Qian.

"One of the most important of these is the Imperial Prime Minister, Duke Bernard of Whitefish City. It's just that the envoys sent by Duke Bernard are hiding from the rest of the country, and they can stay for a short time, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, so they have no choice but to invite you over now. ”

Peng Ziyi, who was following behind, interjected: "This is strange, if we delay the trip, these so-called secret envoys will not be discussed?"

"This ...... In fact, Vice Chairman Chang had already talked with them separately yesterday, and they had reached some consensus, but Vice Chairman Chang felt that it was better for you to talk to the Imperial Envoy in person than to have him talk to him alone and then report back when you came back. Bai Yicheng explained.

"Do you know the specific situation?" asked Guo Qian.

"I only learned about this today, and I don't know exactly how to talk about it, Chang Lin just told me about the cause and effect and ...... and some of his inner motivations and thoughts. Bai Yicheng said with some confusion, "Chairman Guo, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Say it. Guo Qian said.

Bai Yicheng said: "Actually, I think Chang Lin is also making a gesture to the committee, and the fundamental reason why he is doing this is that he hopes to share the worries of the committee." Contributing to the outcome of this negotiation is a gesture of goodwill to the Committee. I think he regretted some of the things he had done before, and if the committee had been able to move forward together at this time, I think we would have gotten the most complete result. ”

"Is this what he meant or is it your guess?" asked Guo Qian.

"A little bit of it. He didn't say it explicitly, but I was able to grasp his thoughts. "Bai Yi became enlightened.

Neither Guo Qian nor Peng Ziyi responded directly to Bai Yicheng's words. Peng Ziyi said: "What about his own people? Why didn't he show up?"

"Vice Chairman Chang said before that he was going to arrange for the Imperial Secret Envoy to come over. We'll go up first, they'll arrive later. ”

Guo Qian and his entourage came to the conference room arranged by Bai Yicheng and found that some committee members who had been in Hewan Xincheng had been waiting in the conference room, but there were still many members who could not be present for various reasons, such as Meng Guoqiang, who was building a new factory in the south, and Mao Kai, Qin Mu and Liu Yisheng, who were assisting Wang Jiyuan in Suero, were absent from the meeting.

Peng Ziyi followed into the room, looked around, and said to his secret service: "Leave six people to inspect and protect this room, and the remaining four people will check the surrounding rooms in groups of two." ”

He walked over to the conference table in the middle of the room and sat down, but his mind was not very settled. Although Bai Yicheng's words just now didn't seem to have any logical flaws, he always felt that something was not right.

The people of the empire were struck by the plague, and he was of course well aware. However, a single spy can hook up with the upper echelons of the Empire, and then they will react so quickly and send someone to negotiate...... It all seemed a little too smooth. Peng Ziyi had been observing Bai Yicheng just now, and in the field of mind detection, Bai Yicheng's mental power fluctuations were relatively stable, and Peng Ziyi couldn't see any signs of him lying.

Even now, he followed Guo Qian and said something about Chang Lin, which seemed to be sincere.

This guy is neutral on the surface and doesn't get very close to Chang Lin, but in fact he is Chang Lin's secret ally. Peng Ziyi pondered, did Chang Lin really want to show favor to them, or did Chang Lin deceive Bai Yicheng together?

As soon as he thought of this, a special agent of his subordinates rushed in from outside, hurriedly ran to his side, and muttered in his ear: "Chief, we saw the Imperial people when we checked a room. It was brought by Li Ke from our intelligence department, there were four of them, three men and one woman, none of them looked like good stubble, nor did they look like visiting officials, which gave people a very strange feeling.

They claimed to be secret envoys, saying that they were waiting for Chairman Guo.

Li Ke's guy refused to say it at first, but then I forced him to ask a few questions, saying that Jiang Yitian arranged for them to wait here.

Now I'm letting Xiao Zhang guard there, what are we going to do?"
