Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

Susanna returned to Taoism and told Lin Shu about Grand Duke Linge's invitation to the Imperial Capital. Lin Shu didn't even ask the reason, and agreed directly. Susanna was a little baffled, and even doubted whether Lin Shu followed her quietly. When he arrived at the Imperial City, he eavesdropped on the conversation between himself and his grandfather.

In fact, of course, this is not the case. The key is that Lin Shu just wanted to go to the Imperial Capital Star. The information collected from various channels shows that a drastic change is brewing in the Yiren Empire. Of course, Lin Shu is very curious about it. , although Xuanmen does not pursue secular power, it cannot stay away from the world. What's more, any drastic changes in a huge and ancient empire like the Yiren Empire will have a profound impact on Lin Shu and Xuanmen.

Therefore, Grand Duke Linge's invitation is tantamount to being offered a pillow when he is dozing off. As for Grand Duke Linge's desire to let the elite troops pass through West Kunlun, Lin Shu has not agreed for the time being. He must ask everyone in Tianchi Palace for their opinions. After all, Tianchi Palace and Yiren are very difficult to deal with.

Lin Fu learned that Lin Shu was going to the Imperial Capital, so he picked and chose, and finally chose Ao Yun to accompany Lin Shu. Originally, Nilaya was the most suitable candidate, but now Nilaya has too many things to do. On the contrary, because of the change of the spaceship plan, Ao Yun is quite free. Now she has nothing to do to study the ancient navigation charts and logbooks, trying to analyze what troubles they encountered when they were sailing in deep space. , maybe one day, Lin Shu will encounter the same trouble.

However, the preparations for these long-distance voyages are not in a hurry, and people who can do this include Xiao Yu and others, and even Lin Wei borrowed Jenny from Tianchi Palace.So it's not bad for Ao Yun.And Ao Yun herself really hoped that she could go on a business trip with Lin Shu.

Susanna is a little afraid of this Ao Yun who likes to pretend to be tender.She is very sensitive to strong people, and Ao Yun has a very strong hidden personality. Although she can't see it at all, Susanna can smell something similar to her grandfather from her.

"Lin Shu, is this the imperial capital of the Yiren Empire?"

"Yeah, doesn't it look desolate?"

Lin Shu and the others were teleported from West Kunlun, so they arrived at the deserted snowy mountains near the North Pole.Since the last rebellion in the imperial capital, this place has been occupied by the military and the royal family respectively. Lin Shu is on the territory of the military, which is the area controlled by the Ringer family.

Not long after they arrived, a small high-speed airship greeted them, and soon the two sides made contact. After confirming Susanna's identity, everyone joined the airship.

It was Anka who came to welcome Lin Shu, which showed that Grand Duke Linge attached great importance to Lin Shu, according to Anka.If it wasn't for Grand Duke Ringer who couldn't leave, he even wanted to greet him in person.

On board the airship of the Ringer family.He would no longer be interrogated by the guards of the imperial capital. For safety reasons, Grand Duke Linge also sent half of his own guards to escort, a team of more than a dozen high-speed airships of various sizes, and quickly flew south.

"This is Mrs. Lin?"

"Hehe, her name is Ao Yun."

"Oh, so you are Lord Ao Yun, Lord of the Nine Serenities, please forgive me for being disrespectful."

Ao Yun's cheeks blushed slightly, not sure if it was because of Anka's respect, or because of what Mrs. Lin just said.

"You're welcome, I'm here to visit, you don't have to worry about it."

"You are a distinguished guest, and we are honored to have you here."

Anka said with a smile, looking very sincere and enthusiastic. Ao Yun seemed to be in a good mood, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Your intelligence work is good."

"Master Ao Yun's deeds are familiar even to children in the Great Federation. This is really not an intelligence capability. Speaking of it, I am very unqualified if I didn't recognize Master Ao Yun at first sight."

Lin Shu smiled and said nothing, he naturally knew that Anka did it on purpose, it would be strange if he didn't know Ao Yun, it was all to please Ao Yun!Lin Shu didn't expose it, and it wasn't that he wanted to do bad things, and he didn't need to be a bad person. Besides, Ao Yun was very happy. With Ao Yun's intelligence, how could she be fooled by such a small trick as Anka.

"How much territory do you control around the North Pole?"

Anka was stunned, and then happily called out a map, displayed it with projection technology, and drew a large circle on the map: "Probably such a large area is under our control. If we need to carry out large-scale Teleportation shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Shu looked at it, good guy, it was a quarter of the size of the Arctic Circle, which shows how powerful the Ringer family really is.

"The location is fine, but if you want to use it, you first need to build a large teleportation array here. The so-called elite troops don't have heavy equipment?"

"Of course there is. The elite force is the Empire's No.90 Special Assault Wing. It has a total of 5 soldiers and is equipped with 190 two large-scale heavy aircraft and flying aircraft. Among them, there are 12 strong men above the Black Wing class, and the Black Wing class There are two strong people. In addition, they will join the Shadow Guard to act, and the number of guards is 36, including 24 Black Wing level powerhouses and [-] Black Wing level powerhouses."

In order to let Lin Shu know exactly how many troops he needs to transport, Anka carefully explained the composition of the troops. Such a powerful assault force is probably enough to take down some targets deployed around the North Pole in one fell swoop. However, relying on these troops It seems that the area of ​​the transfer array that controls the imperial capital star is insufficient.

There are a total of five teleportation array areas on Imperial Capital Star, connecting the entire capital star circle. Let alone occupying all the teleportation array areas, even controlling one or two of them would be a bit mysterious.

"That's all the troops?"

Lin Shu asked in surprise, Susanna also looked at her uncle strangely, and Ao Yun looked out of the window with her head sideways, as if looking down at the scenery of the Imperial Capital Star with great interest, as if she had no interest in everyone's discussion, but, can you You can't treat a master at the end of the distraction stage like this, otherwise you will suffer a lot.

Anka glanced at Lin Shu and Susanna, and nodded with a smile: "That's all, it's enough to complete the mission."

"May I ask what the mission is?"

"Of course, we have no intention of hiding from Head Lin. The purpose of this excuse is to take down the area to the west of us. This is the territory of the Enlige family. The elite of the Enlige family is stationed here. Including the elite guards of the Enlige family, as long as we wipe out the power of the Enlige family in one fell swoop, those diehards in the military should know how to choose."

Lin Shu thought for a while, then suddenly nodded, and the corners of Ao Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

"So, you are not going to take action against other forces in the imperial capital?"

"The first step is definitely not going to happen, but whether we will do it next depends on the subsequent changes in the situation. Once the Enlige family is destroyed, the entire situation in the imperial capital will change. Next, I estimate that the political situation will change." The struggle is more intense than military."

Lin Shu nodded slowly: "Understood, Grand Duke Linge meant to put down a powerful force capable of destroying any one or more forces on the imperial capital, and through the existence of this force, prevent the political situation from evolving towards war. , and then strive for a political solution to the problem?"

"Yes."

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "Duke Linge thinks that the royal family and the civil service system will accept this ending?"

"Of course it won't be that easy. There is still a lot of work to be done during the period. But we can't stop doing it because of difficulties. If we fall into an all-out war. The split of the Yiren Empire is not necessarily a good thing for the Great Federation and Xuanmen. It can only be used for nothing. Dragon Empire, I believe Head Lin also understands that an overly powerful Holy Dragon Empire is not a good thing for anyone."

Lin Shu smiled lightly: "Perhaps, but if the problem can be solved through non-war methods, I support it. I think Grand Duke Ringe must have other cards, but I won't ask."

Anka smiled and shook her head: "I don't know about that. Perhaps, if Sect Leader Lin is willing to isolate the Imperial City, the problem will be easier to solve."

Lin Shu looked at Anka meaningfully: "It's not impossible to talk about it, the key is how you can convince me. In fact, I haven't made a final decision on whether to agree to your plan of borrowing the way!"

Anka smiled happily: "I have confidence in this. The cooperation between our two parties is mutually beneficial. I think the head of Lin is more transparent than I thought. A strong, stable, peaceful, and open Yiren Empire , is far more in line with the interests of Xuanmen than a war-torn Yiren empire."

Lin Shu spread his hands: "Maybe."

At this time, Ao Yun, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly turned her head, looked at Lin Shu with a smile and said, "Lin Shu, I have heard the saying that it doesn't matter what politicians say, but after they take power, the choices they make are basically the same. It's the same, I don't believe that a fool can be in charge."

Lin Shu laughed out loud, glanced at Anka with a weird look, then at Susanna who was a little confused, and said half-truthfully, "You mean we just need to be on the side of the winner." ?”

"Hehe...Does Xuanmen need a position in the Yiren Empire?"

"That's really unnecessary!"

"Master... actually needs it. Xuanmen... is a legal organization in the territory of the Ringer family. Don't they already have a position?"

Susanna looked at Lin Shu with some trepidation, and looked at Ao Yun pleadingly. Ao Yun giggled, turned her head and looked out the window, and threw the problem to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu looked stunned: "Yeah, we have already cooperated with the Ringer family. Speaking of which, we really have some positions."

Susanna breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, master, Xuanmen not only values ​​benefits."

The corners of Ao Yun's mouth curled up, and she glanced at Susanna meaningfully, which made Susanna's heart beat, but Lin Shu smiled indifferently.

"That's right, Susan is right. Taoism is about faith. If you say something, you will definitely follow it. If you promise, you must keep it. Without this principle, Taoism still talks about respecting the teacher. "

Even Anka breathed a sigh of relief this time. Fortunately, Suzanne did a good job this time.

Ao Yun gave Lin Shu a blank look. She didn't believe Lin Shu's nonsense. Xuanmen is indeed loyal and committed, but Xuanmen never promised that Duke Ling would support him to take the position, never. (To be continued..)
