Lan Yi Resher entertained Suzanne with apprehension for a while, and then said goodbye and left, she understood that Lin Shu did not want to inquire about anything, but wanted to pass on some information, so it didn't matter where to pass it, the key was to put Lan Yi Resers on fire.
Angry and aggrieved, Lan Yi Resus returned to his residence with his head down, and Lin Shu followed.
"Why are you angry? Let's make tea!"
"Master, haven't you drunk enough?"
"No, let's make tea. ”
Lan Yi Resers puffed out his mouth and went to make tea aggrievedly, Lin Shu sat on the sofa, did not lift the Transfiguration, and looked at Lan Yi Reshers with a smile.
"Master, you can't talk to me about this first, in case I don't cooperate well."
"If you talk to you first, you won't be able to cooperate well, the people in the Imperial City are all human spirits, and every bit of your reaction will become the basis for other people's evaluation, so the stunned and suppressed anger you showed just now is the best reaction. ”
Lin Shu drank the tea and said quite smugly, Lan Yi Resher was speechless, he was looking for himself, he was a 'summoning beast', so don't think too much.
"I did a good job today, I can add points, and I am one step closer to the goal of freedom, hehe"
Lan Yi Resers wants to cry without tears, here again is it, can you change the tricks!
"What do you think of this Susanna?"
"The hosts. Suzanne is shrewd. The Ringer family is now powerful in the military. There are also many territories, and they are also an extremely important aristocratic force in the imperial city, which should generally belong to the military hawks, advocating a tough policy of expansion, and I heard her say that the military and civilian officials have recently had a fierce confrontation on the issue of tax adjustment. ”
It seems that Lan Yi Resers has not done nothing, and she has also obtained a lot of information from the conversation with Susanna. Of course, this information may also have been conveyed to her by Suzanne on purpose, is this a gesture of goodwill from Susanna?
Suzanne may not know what the West Kunlun is, so she released her kindness? If she knew that the West Kunlun that Lan Yi and Resher inquired about was a taboo for the Winged People, would she still take the initiative to form an alliance with Lan Yi and Resus? Also, why did she want to marry Lan Yi and Resus? It must not be because she fell in love with the already declining Don Juan family, right?
There are still many questions, but Lin Shu is not in a hurry, what he has to do now is to set off some waves in the pool of water in the imperial city, so that he can see what secrets are hidden under the muddy water of this pool.
Lin Shu wasn't worried about Lan Yi Resuss' safety. If necessary, he can evacuate with Lan Yi Resuss, and then come back in with a different identity. The Winged Man Empire thinks it has a strict identity authentication system, and there are holes everywhere in front of the forest trees like fishing nets.
"This Ringer family can be regarded as a benchmark in the Imperial City, belonging to the benchmark of the military hawks, in addition, there are doves in the military, this faction advocates resolving the plane war with the Holy Dragon Empire first, and then talking about expansion. As for the civil system, there are more factions, but they also have a common system, that is, the royalists, and now the disputes between the factions are not fierce, mainly because the power of the royal family is not enough to threaten the military, and behind the military are the major nobles. In general, this is the situation in the Imperial City, and as for what we are looking for about West Kunlun, no one knows what to do. ”
Lan Yi Resuss' eyes widened: "Master, are you really asking around about Xi Kunlun?"
"yes, is it still fake? Do you think I lied to Susanna?"
"Ugh"
Lin Shu looked at Lan Yi Resuss with a sad face and smiled: "Actually, I'm thinking about what would happen if the two sides immediately eliminated their differences and cooperated in this struggle between the military and the imperial power?
"Your master, do you think Xi Kunlun really has this kind of strength?"
"Xiaolan, let's be honest with you, I think the existence of West Kunlun is the existence that the Wing People fear, the concept of the Wing People is contrary to the concept of the Xuanmen, I don't believe that the West Kunlun, which may have a deep relationship with the Xuanmen, will be the home of the Wing People, I think it's the opposite, it should be the place where the Wing People fold their wings. ”
Lan Yi Reshers moved her lips, but she couldn't refute Lin Shu's guess, in fact, she also guessed this in her heart, but she didn't like this guess in her heart
The highest point of the Ringer family's floating island is the core building of this floating island, however, this is only the core on the surface, in fact, the core command part of each floating island is in the center of gravity of the floating island, but this real command core is generally only used in wartime.
The floating islands of the Ringer family are very large, and they are the largest type in the imperial city, the size of these floating islands is regulated, and they are generally determined according to the title, the title of the Ringer family is the Grand Duke, and there are three levels of princes on it, but the princes are all honorable, and only the royal heirs are entitled, so the specifications of the Wangjue floating islands are the same as those of the Grand Duke, a nobleman with real power.
The current Grand Duke of Ringer is Susanna's own grandfather, Susanna can become the intelligence head of the Ringer family in the imperial city, and it has a lot to do with this direct relationship, of course, Susanna's own strength is not bad, although there are many gentlemen in these big families, but more are elites, otherwise the Ringer family will not prosper forever.
Grand Duke Ringer summoned Suzanne in the Cloud Pavilion, and under normal circumstances, the summoning in the Cloud Pavilion was not so formal, and Susanna's mood was more relaxed.
In addition to Grand Duke Ringer, only Susanna's uncle Ankh, who was the head of the family's intelligence system, was present.
Susanna's purpose in going to the golden feather today is to convey the Ringer family's position and bottom line in terms of taxation, and see the reactions of all parties. Use this as a reference for decision-making.
But. Suzanne isn't talking about tax policy right now. It's about Sophie Don Juan.
"You mean, she's asking about 'West Kunlun'?"
Grand Duke Ringer frowned slightly, and the dark wings behind him also stretched out inadvertently, and Anka's eyes flashed, frowning and thinking about this term.
Suzanne was slightly stunned, she just treated this matter as a lace, but she didn't expect her grandfather's reaction to be so big, and Suzanne couldn't help but be solemn:
"Yes. Sophie is indeed inquiring about this West Kunlun, but no one seems to have heard of this West Kunlun, and she has already released the news, saying that it is valuable news for heavy rewards. Grandpa, have you heard of this West Kunlun?"
Grand Duke Ringer smiled noncommittally, turned to Anka and said, "Anka, have you heard of this Xi Kunlun?"
Ankh shook his head blankly, as an intelligence chief, there are few things that he doesn't know, if there is anything, he doesn't know the way. He will feel uneasy in his heart, and he will try to figure out these unknowns. This is the occupational disease of intelligence workers.
Ankka could guess from his father's reaction that Xi Kunlun was not an inconsequential thing, but this thing did not know what to do, which made Ankka's heart a little frustrated, and at the same time aroused his strong curiosity.
"Father, I really haven't heard of this Xi Kunlun, is it something?"
Suzanne looked at her uncle curiously, it turned out that the omniscient uncle also had something that he didn't know!
Grand Duke Ringer did not answer, but tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the leisure chair, Anka knew that this was a habitual action when his father was thinking, and it seemed that Xi Kunlun was really a very important thing.
"Susan, what do you think of this Sophie?"
"Well, it looks like a little dirty child, and he doesn't have a deep scheming, and the attendant, who is also a big grinning guy, even said it in front of me, I think Sophie is not a complicated person, but a young man who is trying to revive the family, although her efforts are quite hopeless. ”
"Why do you say that there is no hope?"
"Grandpa, the empire has passed a period of rapid expansion, and now it is difficult for the empire to control a larger area because of the population, and the war with the Holy Dragon Empire is dragging down, and it is a fool's dream to rise with military merits or colonial wars as before. ”
Ringer nodded, appreciating his granddaughter's vision, few people know that the hawks with the strongest attitude are actually the most opposed to rapid expansion, the so-called political proposition is just a banner, when others raise other flags, you can't go with the flow, then you have to raise another flag, but what you do under this high-sounding banner, that's another matter.
This is politics!
"Is this what Sophie told you herself?"
Yes, she made no secret of her desire to become stronger, to make achievements, to restore the glory of her ancestors. ”
Grand Duke Ringer's brows furrowed, and Ankh suddenly spoke: "Father, could it be that Sophie's revival depends on this West Kunlun?"
Grand Duke Ringer still did not answer Anka's question directly, and hesitated for a moment: "Susan, you keep in touch with Sophie, if necessary, you can help her appropriately, I need to know more about the matter of West Kunlun, and see what clues she can find." ”
"Yes. ”
"So the thing about taxes"
"Anka, you need someone else to take over this matter. ”
Ankh nodded in response, and became more and more interested in Xi Kunlun, his father actually asked Suzanne to put aside all her work to devote herself to this matter, this Xi Kunlun is probably a very important thing.
Although Suzanne didn't quite understand her grandfather's plans, she could also feel that her grandfather attached great importance to Xi Kunlun, and she began to wonder in her heart, what is Xi Kunlun?
At the same time as Grand Duke Ringer made his decision, many families who had received the news also began to move, and Lin Shu's actions were already like a breeze blowing through the pond, setting off sparkling waves on the mirror-like water. (To be continued......)
