Clash Of The Sword Titans
Chapter 20 The Power
In the Foreign Affairs Office, the third grade guard who was in charge of the inspection was taking a cautious step without making a sound.
And the moment Lu Li stepped into it, he felt a few sharp auras locked himself.
"Tongxuan Peak!"
Lu Li couldn't be more familiar with this kind of breath.
After all, he was still in this realm a dozen or so days ago.
"The four Tongxuan pinnacles, it seems that they are the second-rank guards in the mansion." After stopping to look at it, Lu Li sensed the source of those unkind auras, and his eyes swept away, although he could not see the figure, but The guards hiding in the dark seemed to confirm something, and quickly withdrew the hostile atmosphere.
"If Qi Yun is not full of nonsense, these four people should be strong men belonging to the dark guards of the palace."
Lu Li licked his lips. Unexpectedly, a force that was supposed to belong to King Yan was now under the control of the general named Yuan Jingtao.
Even if there are only four people, this is enough to show that the current situation in the Yanwang Palace is quite bad.
As the owner of this mansion, King Yan couldn't even grasp the extremely dangerous power such as the dark guard, which meant that she was about to be emptied now.
Although the House of Internal Affairs is still in her own hands, the House of Foreign Affairs is estimated to have become the back garden of the Yuan Guan.
Thinking of this, Lu Li probably already understood why he was sent to Yuan Jingtao's hands.
"Do you want to bury a chess piece and save it as a means to check and balance Yuan Jingtao in the future?" Lu Li frowned, but the thoughts that instantly suppressed his heart, hurried to the front of the Foreign Affairs Office and said loudly: " Third-rank guard Lu Li, please see Manager Yuan."
With his voice, the entire Foreign Affairs Office plunged into a weird atmosphere.
The guards who patrolled no longer moved, and even the strong secret guards hiding in the depths fluctuated.
Just a small detail is enough to show that Yuan Jingtao has accumulated great prestige, far surpassing Yan Wang!
"Come in."
There is no unnecessary nonsense.
Inside the Foreign Affairs House, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
Lu Li raised his head and stretched out his hand to push the door in front of him.
A faint rusty smell came out along the airflow.
With a move of his nose, Lu Li recognized the smell of blood.
Looking forward, he saw a handsome man in a black long shirt writing at his desk.
"I have seen General Yuan." Lu Li looked at the man in front of him, and at the same time observed the situation in the room, thinking about how to speak next.
At this moment, Yuan Jingtao in front of the book case slowly raised his head, pointed to the half-person-tall document on the table, and said lightly: "You have seen it too, just tell me what I came for."
Lu Li and Yuan Jingtao looked at each other, and from those eyes, they saw a deep indifference and coldness.
Combined with the bloody smell of Ruowu in the room, Lu Li probably had guessed that what Qi Yun said was true, and the character of this chief Yuan was indeed uncomfortable.
"Ms. Yuan, I am here this time under the order of His Royal Highness Yan Wang. I hope the Ms. Yuan can provide some convenience."
Without thinking about it, Lu Li moved out of the name of King Yan.
Although not necessarily useful, if you don't pull this tiger skin, the next conversation will definitely not go so smoothly.
Sure enough, when Lu Li mentioned King Yan, Yuan Jingtao's hand paused slightly, showing a somewhat contemptuous smile, "Let's talk about what you want."
"First, I hope that Director Yuan can deploy a few clever four-rank guards to be sent by me."
"This is within your authority, yes." Yuan Jingtao glanced at Lu Li, his tone still calm.
Lu Li sneered when he heard his promise so decisively, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still after a while."
Then he continued: "Secondly, it is to make a transfer order from General Yuan to allow me to command the power of the palace in the imperial capital. Including martial arts, shops, land transportation, water transportation..."
At the end, Lu Li paused deliberately, observing Yuan Jingtao's expression.
Sure enough, the chief executive had already put down his pen at the moment, his eyes filled with coldness.
Lu Li continued: "Of course, it would be great if General Yuan Yuan could confess to the'Shenweisi' to cooperate with me."
"Ha ha."
When he finished speaking the last sentence, Yuan Jingtao couldn't help laughing. "With such a big appetite, you are not afraid to hold yourself to death?"
After all, he sat upright, as if he wanted to take a good look at the young man in front of him, with a faint smile on his mouth, "Shenweisi is the last card of King Yan's mansion. Even if King Yan is here, there is no such thing as me and Ge Xinyue. It is allowed and cannot be dispatched because it not only belongs to the Yan Palace, but also belongs to the Holy Kingdom, and belongs to your Majesty.
"Want to help from Divinity? Why are you?"
Yuan Jingtao's tone was not harsh, but rather gentle, as if he was really asking for a reason.
But Lu Li knew it was an invisible threat.
Of course, he was not threatening him, but Yan Wang.
An existence like Shenweisi, with each of the nine palaces in charge, is not only the final trump card of each palace, but also a line of defense for the Saint Kingdom Swallowing Heaven.
The combination of these nine forces is enough to overthrow any royal palace in the Saint Swallowing Kingdom, the rich family, and even in the most critical moments, have the power of the turbulent imperial court, forcing the invincible majesty of the holy kingdom to abdicate, and then they will come to wipe out foreign insults. , Stabilize the situation.
Therefore, such a powerful force, even if it is only one-ninth, can definitely not be driven at will.
Not to mention that Lu Li now has the status of a third-rank guard, even if he goes one step further and becomes a second-rank, or even replaces Yuan Jingtao as the first-rank manager, he does not have the qualifications to direct the divine authority to act.
"General Manager Yuan misunderstood."
Lu Li didn't seem to understand Yuan Jingtao's threat, and said with a smile: "It's just that you need to lift your finger so that I can talk to the people of the power, and I don't need to worry about the rest."
With that, Lu Li Chaoyuan Jingtao bowed slightly, his posture was very respectful.
But Yuan Jingtao's eyes became colder.
He tapped his finger on the table and said, "The martial arts hall, shops, land transportation, and water transportation. These four alone represent a huge amount of money, a large number of materials, and all the external news channels of the Yan Wang Mansion. , Will be delivered to you. This alone is not enough, you still want the help of the gods, is it possible that you want to seek rebellion?"
"The general manager joked, but this matter is very important to King Yan. His Royal Highness has explained that no matter who it is, he must cooperate with all his strength." Lu Li said softly, "Otherwise, who will block and kill."
When the words fell, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a little, Yuan Jingtao raised his eyebrows, staring at Lu Li, "You threaten me?"
"Don't dare."
Lu Li raised his head and smiled harmlessly.
But Yuan Jingtao still saw another meaning from this smile.
Lu Li didn't dare to be right, but the person who supported Lu Li now might not be afraid.
"It seems that King Yan can't wait for the disaster relief fund." After a long time, Yuan Jingtao took a deep look at Lu Li, threw his waist card over, and said calmly: "Hold this waist card, In two days, no one in the Imperial Capital dared to stop you."
Lu Li took the waist card and put it in his sleeves without looking at it. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Then, thank you, Director Yuan."
