It's just that Qiu Peng may not be willing. From a retinue to the president of the mercenary union, leaving the center of power, the importance is bound to drop significantly.

The eldest prince immediately objected: "I object. Li Zixuan has neither qualifications nor experience, so it is strange to let him succeed him. ”

The strange thing is that the second son's attitude is ambiguous, and he did not come out to support Qiu Peng, and it stands to reason that it should be beneficial to him to let Qiu Peng succeed him.

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord frowned and thought about it, and had to admit that Qiu Peng was actually the most suitable person at the moment. You must know that after this conflict, the mercenaries' feelings will only become more intense, and if you can't quickly find a suitable person to control the situation, I'm afraid that last night's incident will be repeated.

"Okay. Li Zixuan, I appoint you as the president of the mercenary union. Qiu Peng was about to resign, but the Lingyun Pavilion Lord did not allow him to continue, and said: "I know that this is a bit wronged by you, so listen, the president of the mercenary union is only temporarily concurrently held by you, and when there is a suitable candidate, it will naturally be replaced." And you still retain the position of retinue, and you can come to me at any time. Xiao Li, this is the time to share my worries, and I am not allowed to shirk. ”

According to the usual practice, once the entourage has an official position, he cannot be a close person next to the Lingyun Pavilion Master, but the Lingyun Pavilion Master actually made an exception for Qiu Peng this time, which made many of the councilors present secretly jealous.

Qiu Peng had no choice but to agree.

The eldest prince was about to protest, but Situ next to him pulled his arm and motioned him to stop talking.

In this way, no one has any more opinions, even if it is a tongguò.

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord announced the end of the cabinet meeting, and when he left, he asked Qiu Peng to meet him later.

The deputies left one after another, and the eldest prince reproached Situ and said, "Why didn't you let me protest just now?" Seeing that kid climb up step by step, I really want to kick him twice. ”

Situ smiled and said: "Let Li Zixuan be this position, the eldest prince should ask for it." ”

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, revealing a contemplative look.

Situ explained: "Is this position so easy to do? It is really the most difficult position in the world. It's too late for others to push. It's like sitting on a powder keg, and there are problems every day. Isn't the eldest prince worried that he can't grasp Li Zixuan's handle? Now that he is sitting in this position, is he still worried that he doesn't have a handle? Without us, he can make it for him. ”

The eldest prince perked up and said happily: "What Situ said makes sense. ”

Situ continued: "Also, didn't the eldest prince see that the second prince's attitude just now was very strange?"

The eldest prince frowned and recalled: "Hey, it's a little wrong, as if he doesn't want that kid to take office." ”

Situ said with a smile: "Yes, I estimate that this kid Li Zixuan may not be so iron as the second son." Perhaps, the two of them already have a conflict. So the eldest prince might as well get in touch with that kid when he has time. Let's see, there is no possibility of co-opting. At least, don't rush to deal with him. ”

"Why?" the eldest prince was a little confused.

Situ smiled: "According to my observation, that kid doesn't buy the second son's account very much. This time he succeeded in bringing down Fu Shan, and Song Siming was rescued by Li Zixuan's desperate efforts, and he must be inexhaustible for that kid, which is equivalent to Li Zixuan transferring the power that the second son originally held in his hands to his own hands, and setting the second son in the air. So the one who is most anxious to get rid of Li Zixuan now may be the second son. The eldest prince might as well secretly help that kid in the future for a handful or two, and the second prince will soon be unable to bear it. The two of them laughed heartily.

The councillors who participated in the cabinet meeting dispersed one after another, and Qiu Peng also hurriedly walked out. Now that his troubles are too busy, who knows that the mercenary union is on the shelf again. Qiu Peng's heart is full of fire.

At this time, he suddenly saw Hu Yanba, the leader of the night bees, coming over to him, Qiu Peng smiled and said, "Commander Huyan, I haven't seen you for a long time." What have you been up to lately?"

Hu Yanba smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not just a busy day." He said in a low voice, "The pavilion master asked you to come over." ”

Qiu Peng was stunned in his heart, a little uneasy, but said with a smile in his mouth: "Why did you come to call me today? The pavilion master is a little inconsiderate." Brother Huyan sent a subordinate casually, and I naturally obeyed the order. ”

Huyanba laughed dryly twice, and said with a smile: "I didn't need to come in the first place." It's just that after a busy day, it's easy to be free, just breathable. What's more, it's called Brother Li again, you just haven't seen you for many days, and it's also an opportunity. ”

Qiu Peng smiled secretly in his heart, such a big thing has happened, as the spy leader of the Lingyun Pavilion Master, he should be very busy. This lie is not very clever. However, Qiu Peng was also reassured. Seeing that he deliberately looked for an opportunity to get close to Bajie, with affection in his words and expressions, he knew that there would be no big deal.

If Qiu Peng is the celebrity of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, then Hu Yanba is the Lingyun Pavilion Lord's henchman.

The attitude of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord towards him should be able to be guessed from Hu Yanba's face.

Qiu Peng followed Hu Yanba all the way, and saw that many attendants were busy on the road, some were digging pits in the ground, some were measuring, and some were holding some strange things.

Qiu Peng was surprised in his heart, and said, "Why are you building a lot of construction? Are you going to renovate the pavilion?"

Hu Yanba smiled and said in a low voice: "If someone else asks, my brother will never say it again." But since it's Brother Li who asked, everyone is their own family, so it's okay to talk about it, don't you say?"

Qiu Peng listened to his tone becoming more and more affectionate, but he was not very disgusted, and said with a smile: "Brother just asks, if there is anything inconvenient, don't do it."

"How so?" said Huyanba, laughing, "It's not a very secret thing. They are building a technologically advanced laboratory, which is said to have been newly designed by Grand Master Hong Jigong. ”

Qiu Peng was surprised: "Hong Jigong is not only good at historical research, but also involved in science and technology? By the way, what kind of laboratory is this? ”

Hu Yanba said in a low voice: "This is a name for a technology company that surpasses virtual technology, and a total of thirty-six magnetic field radiation devices have been placed in various corners of the Wang Pavilion, and each magnetic field device has six second-rate hands-controlled devices. The device is driven by some kind of energy with internal gas. It is said that the combination of thirty-six magnetic field devices can form a huge protective shield to resist the attacks of thousands of second-rate experts. ”

Qiu Peng said: "Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"

Hu Yanba smiled and said: "No, the budget is one million blue stone coins, and now that the project is only halfway through, it has already been overrun." ”

Qiu Peng was speechless for a long time before he said, "Such a huge project?"

Hu Yanba smiled: "That can't be helped. The main reason is that many rare materials are relatively expensive, and it is said that many of them have to be imported from virtual technology companies, and now in this situation, the price is several times more expensive than usual. The Pavilion Master had long asked Grandmaster Hong Jigong to design a protective array for him, and in the defense cabinet, this defensive array is said to have been successfully researched recently by Grandmaster Hong Jigong in the virtual technology company by digging a lot of talents. Grand Master Hong Jigong said that this was his greatest masterpiece. ”

Qiu Peng said: "I have never heard of such a large defensive array. I wonder if it's really useful?"

Hu Yanba said: "You can rest assured about this." The martial arts of the great master of Hong Jigong may not be comparable to that of the chairman of virtual technology, but the attainments of scientific and technological research are unsurpassed by no one in the world. It was this point that the pavilion master took a fancy to him, so he humbly invited him to come. ”

Speaking of this, he said in a low voice: "What I said just now, Brother Li should not sue others." ”

Qiu Peng nodded and said, "That's nature." "But in my heart, I thought, why does the Lingyun Pavilion Lord seem to be afraid that the pavilion will be attacked? Having 100,000 Feicheng troops outside is not enough. Then he understood: yes, what he was afraid of was not an attack outside the city, but a disaster that would cause a disaster. So who exactly are these arrangements for?

Qiu Peng's heart was awe-struck.

The two of them made a few turns on the crooked path in the pavilion and came to a very inconspicuous house. Hu Yanba said in a low voice: "The pavilion master is waiting for you inside, and my brother will not go in." ”

Qiu Peng nodded, pushed the door in, the light in the room was soft, and the furnishings were not gorgeous, but it looked very comfortable.

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion sat on a chair, saw Qiu Peng, beckoned Qiu Peng to come over, and said cordially, "Xiao Li, come and sit." ”
