Chapter Ninety-Six: Parliamentarians
Qi Xuansu even considered the issue of escaping after his identity was exposed, the patriarch and cardinal were not there, and he not only had "extravagant corpse poison" in his hand, but also a Buddha relic. Although it can't be compared with the Buddha's relics, it is enough for Qi Xuansu to send out a "Shi Fearless Seal" that is infinitely close to the "Immeasurable Buddha Palm" of the Golden Gong Patriarch.
At the beginning, Chen Shuhua could split the first line of Shenglong Mansion with one sword, and the palm of Patriarch Jin Gong would naturally not be too inferior.
A palm that fell from the sky.
All the buildings on the floating island will be razed to the ground, and the entire floating island will be overwhelmed and fall to St. York below.
The first reaction of the bigwigs in St. York was naturally to stop the floating island from smashing into the city, which gave Qi Xuansu time to escape.
Someone may want to say, such an act is really cruel, where is the morality?
In fact, below the upper city is the Midtown district, which is the most prosperous of the five districts, and there are almost no civilians in the true sense of the word.
It is precisely because there are no civilians that the bigwigs of the Holy Court have to do their best to stop it, so that they cannot be harmed in the slightest.
If it was a civilian area, then the big people would not be so concerned, and they might think that it was more important to hunt down Qi Xuansu.
The logic behind this is sad and shameful.
Qi Xuansu has no moral burden for destroying Western nobles, perhaps from the standpoint of Westerners, he is a demon who has caused countless sufferings. But from the standpoint of the aborigines, he is a hero who helps them take revenge. The killing of Westerners in the New World deserves the suffering they deserve.
The premise of moral correctness is, where is the position under your feet? Accusing a person of destroying the enemy, then his position is more questionable.
However, this is the worst-case scenario, and Qi Xuansu does not want to come to this point.
He wanted to know what kind of secrets were buried in that mausoleum.
At this time, in a lounge, the door was closed, the heavy curtains blocked the window, leaving no gap, and even the entire lounge was shrouded in special magic, making it completely isolated from the outside world.
There were six men in the common room, five councillors and a clergyman, including Leopold and Strawney. There are also six beautiful women who serve as female companions for these six men.
However, the women were not with their male companions, such as Karen, who had come to the break room with Strawney, and was now riding on the clergyman's lap, face to face, with Karen's hands around the clergyman's neck. Sitting next to Straoney was Leopold's female companion, a well-behaved and quiet lady of the Blood.
Decayed, degenerate, unbearable.
Of course, they didn't expect that there was a terrible "demon" outside, who was estimating to wipe out the floating island with one palm, and knock the highest crystallization of this steam process directly into the dust.
Leopold was an old gentleman with gray hair, and his slightly gloomy temperament was also in line with his blood status, because the baron was his descendant, so this collusion was dominated by him.
The senior councillor was leaning on the back of the armchair at this time, his hands on the armrests, and his legs crossed, revealing a bit of domineering. As a result, his slightly darker-skinned temporary female companion could only squeeze her plump buttocks on the armrest, and put her hands on the shoulders of the old councilor.
Leopold looked around: "We have to make a decision, things are getting out of our grasp."
"Mr. Strauss, I don't quite understand what you mean, what do you mean that things are getting out of our control?" Another councillor asked, a man of great stature who almost tore through the pitiful tuxedo and the rock-like muscles under his white shirt. In comparison, the girl sitting on his lap was like a rag doll.
The MP's name is Bill Williamson. is also a senior councilor, although slightly inferior to Leopold, who is expected to compete for the position of speaker, but it is not to be underestimated.
In addition to the Priest and Strawney, the remaining four senior councillors corresponded to the four gang leaders in the lower city.
There is no doubt that Leopold corresponded to the baron, and Bill corresponded to the hound.
There are also two senior councillors
, Sean McGwell and Charles Smith, the former corresponds to the Beggargar's King and the latter corresponds to the Butcher.
How to deal with the affairs of the barons depends mainly on the attitude of these four senior councilors, but there is a premise, it must be with the permission and witness of the Holy See. So here is another priest, the cardinal.
The only exception is Strawney.
He wasn't supposed to be here, but Leopold invited him over.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu felt abrupt and vigilant, and even began to consider destroying this floating island.
Leopold said: "I don't want to hide anything from this step, I can tell you frankly that I asked Ramon to meet me before the dinner, but Ramon not only refused to meet me, but also detained four of my descendants, with whom I have lost contact with me, and the only thing that is certain is that they are still alive, just imprisoned somewhere."
Charles sneered, "Strauss, this can't be a good show between you and O'Shea, right?"
Sean said, "No, Rose, one of the sheriffs on the City Council, has consulted with O'Shea about Miss O'Shea today, and he hasn't returned yet."
Milton Burlington, a true magnate, Witness, representative of the Holy See, and cardinal priest, also spoke: "There is also a clergyman who has disappeared from the Holy See, and the last place where he was seen was O'Shea's mansion."
Leopold said, "Now I can prove the truth of what I said. In my opinion, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Ramon got the power of Kukulkan, and the sudden power made him lose his mind and make irrational decisions. The second possibility is that someone else has intervened in this matter, and Ramon and his harvest may have fallen into the hands of someone else, and in the words of the Orientals, we may have lost all the time."
Bill asked, "If it's the second possibility, who would the others you are talking about?"
Leopold shook his head and said, "I don't know."
At this moment, Strawney couldn't help but speak, "Gentlemen, I don't know very well, what does this have to do with me?"
"Of course Mr. Strawney, this matter has something to do with you." Leopold made a slight gesture, "Actually, I remember that you had quite a good personal friendship with the natives of the South."
Strawney argued, "Mr. Strauss, those are normal trade dealings."
Behind Strawney are several major multinational chambers of commerce, which are closely related to Tawantine in the south, so they will be infiltrated by Beichen Hall.
"Mr. Strawney, allow me to call you by your name, dear Josiah, I think you are mistaken. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything." Leopold waved his hand, "I mean to say that this mausoleum belongs to the ancestors of the natives, and maybe this foreign force that suddenly intervened is from the south, so I think you should have the right to know."
Strawney made a look of disbelief: "This ...... It's unlikely, this is St. York, the pearl of the entire Northern Continent."
"I thought it was impossible, but now it's happening, my Ramon has betrayed me." Leopold said, "So no matter how incredible it is, it's the most plausible explanation."
Straoney asked, "What should I do?"
Liliopold smiled, "Oh, dear Josiah, it's not what you should do, it's what we should do, it's our collective good."
Sean agreed: "In the face of foreign enemies, we should temporarily abandon our disputes and differences, and first keep what belongs to us, as for how to distribute it, that is a matter for later."
Bill put his girlfriend on his lap on the couch next to him and stood up, "So what are you waiting for? We should go down at once, before the infidels, find Ramon, and get back what is rightfully ours."
Leopold didn't speak, but looked at Milton in a more gentle tone, "What do you say, honorable Lord Burlington?"
Still playing some unspeakable game with the most beautiful Karen, Milton casually said, "I agree with this statement, just as we came to the New World, No
One thing is to purge the native infidels who do not believe in the glory of the supreme will, and not to distribute the spoils."
Charles said: "I'm afraid the sheriff's power alone is not enough. Do you want us to do it ourselves?"
"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." Leopold said, "But just in case, I suggest that an elite steam be mobilized in the name of the council just in case."
Sean added, "Although ordinary magistrates can't help much, we can't let them all sit idle, send them all to the lower city to find the entrance to that ruin, we can't wait to bargain with Ramon O'Shea any longer, we have to take the initiative."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Several other parliamentarians have taken a stand.
They were supposed to show the art of compromise and bargaining here, and to distribute the spoils, but the process was interrupted by unexpected circumstances, and they had to unite and defeat the foreign enemy first, and then consider the distribution of the spoils.
Leopold then said to Strawney, "Of course, there is also the possibility that if the enemy is too strong, then we want you to intervene and bring a compromise through your personal friendship."
Strawney couldn't help but ask, "This is St. York, no matter how powerful the enemy is, can he still compete with His Majesty the Patriarch?"
Leopold laughed again, and did not even shy away from Milton, a senior priest whose brother was the Duke of Burlington, and said in a tone in which the elders taught the juniors: "Dear Joshua, you should understand one thing, the goddess shall be the goddess, and the Caesar shall be Caesar."
