Susanna returned to Xuanmen and told Lin Shu that Grand Duke Lin Ge had invited him to the Imperial Capital Star. Lin Shu didn't even ask why and just agreed. Susanna was a little confused and even doubted whether Lin Shu was following her quietly.

When I arrived at the Imperial City, I eavesdropped on the entire conversation between myself and my grandfather.

In fact, of course this is not the case. The key is that Lin Shu happens to want to go to the Imperial City to have a look. The information compiled from various channels shows that a drastic change is brewing in the Yiren Empire. Of course, Lin Shu is very curious about this.

, Although Xuanmen does not pursue secular power, it cannot stay away from the secular 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 Ling Ge's invitation was like someone sending him a pillow when he was dozing off. As for Grand Duke Ling Ge's desire to allow the elite troops to pass through West Kunlun, Lin Shu did not agree for the time being. He had to ask the opinions of everyone in Tianchi Palace.

After all, Tianchi Palace and Yiren are very difficult to deal with.

Lin Ai learned that Lin Shu was going to the Imperial Capital Planet, so he made many choices, and finally chose Ao Yun to accompany Lin Shu there. Originally, Niraya was the most suitable candidate, but now Nirayah has too many things to do, and it is impossible to

I am too busy. On the contrary, because of the spaceship program

Changes, Ao Yun is quite leisurely. Now she is studying old navigation charts and logs, trying to analyze what kind of trouble they encountered when they were sailing in deep space. Maybe one day, Lin Shu will also encounter it.

Same trouble.

However, the preparations for these voyages are not rushed, and the people who can do this are Xiao Yu and others. Lin Ao even borrowed Jenny from Tianchi Palace, so Ao Yun is not missing. And

Ao Yun herself really hoped to go on a business trip with Lin Shu.

Susanna was a little afraid of Ao Yun, who liked to pretend to be young. She was very sensitive to strong people, and Ao Yun had a very strong recessive character. Although she could not see it at all at ordinary times, Susanna could smell something from her.

The same smell as grandpa.

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

"Yeah, doesn't it look desolate?"

Lin Shu and the others were teleported from West Kunlun. Therefore, the place they arrived was in the uninhabited snowy mountains near the North Pole. Since the last rebellion in the Imperial Capital Star, this place has been occupied by military and royal troops. Lin Shu left

It is the territory of the military and the area controlled by the Ringer family.

Not long after they arrived, a small high-speed airship came over and the two sides soon came into contact. After confirming Susanna's identity, everyone reunited with the airship.

The one who came to greet Lin Shu was Anka, which showed that Grand Duke Lin Ge valued Lin Shu. According to Anka, if Grand Duke Lin Ge hadn't been unable to leave, he would have even wanted to come and greet him in person.

Once you get on the Ringer family's airship, you will no longer be interrogated by the imperial capital's guard forces. For safety reasons, Grand Duke Ringer also sent half of his own guards to escort, a group of more than a dozen large and small high-speed airships, quickly

Fly south.

"This is Mrs. Lin?"

"Haha. Her name is Ao Yun."

"Oh, it turns out you are Lord Ao Yun, the Lord of the Nine Netherworld. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."

Ao Yun's cheeks turned slightly red, not sure whether it was because of Anka's respect or because of Mrs. Lin's words just now.

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

"You are a distinguished guest, 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 pretty good."

"Even children in the Great Federation are familiar with Master Ao Yun's deeds. This really doesn't speak of intelligence capabilities. Speaking of which, I am already 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 weird if he didn't know Ao Yun. This was all to please Ao Yun! Lin Shu didn't reveal it. He didn't do anything bad because he worked so hard.

There is no need for her to be a bad person. Besides, isn't Ao Yun very happy? With Ao Yun's intelligence, how could she be fooled by Anka's small tricks.

"How much territory do you control around the Arctic?"

Anka was startled, and then he happily called up a map, displayed it using projection technology, and drew a large circle on the map: "Probably such a large area is under our control. If a large-scale operation is needed,

Teleportation shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lin Shu took a look and realized that it was a quarter of the size of the Arctic Circle. This showed how powerful the Linge family was.

"The place is fine, but if you want to borrow the passage, you first need to build a large teleportation array here. The so-called elite troops will not be without heavy equipment, right?"

"Of course there is. The elite force is the 91st Special Assault Regiment of the Empire. It has a total of 50,000 troops and is equipped with 192 large heavy-equipped aircraft and aircraft carriers. Among them, there are 12 strong men above the Black Wing level.

, two Xuanyi-level powerhouses. In addition, they will join forces with the Shadow Guard, which has thirty-six people, including twelve Xuanyi-level powerhouses and twenty-four Blackwing-level powerhouses."

In order to let Lin Shu know how many troops would be transported through the tunnel, Anka carefully explained the composition of the troops. Such a powerful assault force is estimated to be enough to take down certain targets deployed around the Arctic. However, relying on these troops

The transfer array area that controls the Imperial City Star seems to be insufficient.

There are a total of five teleportation array areas on the Imperial 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 for this small force.

"Just this few troops?"

Lin Shu asked in surprise, Susanna also looked at her uncle strangely, while Ao Yun tilted her head and looked out the window, seeming to be overlooking the scenery of the Imperial Capital Star with great interest. She seemed completely uninterested in everyone's discussion, but, can you

You can't treat a master at the end of the distraction period like this, otherwise you will suffer a lot.

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

"Can I ask what the mission is?"

"Of course. We have no intention of hiding it from Leader Lin. The purpose of borrowing the road this time is to capture the area to the west of us. This is the territory of the Enlig family, and the elites of the Enlig family are stationed here.

Including the elite guards of the Enlig family, as long as we wipe out the power of the Enlig family in one fell swoop, the die-hards in the military will know what to choose."

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

"So, you are not planning to take action against other forces on the Imperial Capital Star?"

"It will definitely not be the first step. But whether we will take action next depends on the subsequent changes in the situation. Once the Enlig family is destroyed, the entire situation of the Imperial City will change. Next, I estimate that the political situation will change.

The struggle is more intense than the military."

Lin Shu nodded slowly: "I understand. Grand Duke Linge means to put down a powerful force on the Imperial Capital Planet that can destroy any one or more forces. Through the existence of this force, the political situation will be prevented from evolving towards war.

, and then strive to solve the problem through political means?”

"Yes."

Lin Shu thought for a moment and said, "Grand Duke Lin Ge thinks the royal family and the civil service system will accept this outcome?"

"Of course it won't be that easy. There is still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, but we can't stop doing it just because of the difficulties. If we fall into a full-scale war. The split of the Yiren Empire is not necessarily a good thing for the Grand Federation and Xuanmen. It will only benefit the Holy Spirit in vain.

Dragon Empire, I believe that Leader Lin also understands that an overly powerful Holy Dragon Empire is not a good thing for anyone."

Lin Shu smiled softly: "Maybe. But I support solving the problem through non-war means. I think Grand Duke Lin Ge must have other trump cards, but I won't ask."

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

Lin Shuda glanced at Anka meaningfully: "This is not something that cannot be discussed. The key is how you convince me. In fact, I have not yet made a final decision on whether to agree to your plan to borrow the road!"

Anka smiled happily: "I have confidence in this. Our cooperation is mutually beneficial. I think Leader Lin has a clearer understanding of this than me. A strong, stable, peaceful, and open Yiren Empire

, is far more in line with Xuanmen’s interests 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 around, looked at Lin Shu with a smile and said: "Lin Shu, I once heard a saying that it doesn't matter what politicians say, in fact, after taking power, the choices they make are basically the same.

It’s the same, I don’t believe that an idiot can get to the top.”

Lin Shu laughed loudly, glanced at Anka who looked weird, and then looked at Susanna who was a little confused, and said half-truthfully: "You mean we just need to stand on the side of the winner."

?”

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

"That's really not necessary!"

"Master... it's actually needed, right? Xuanmen... is a legal organization in the Linge family territory, doesn't it already have a position?"

Susanna looked at Lin Shu with some fear, and looked at Ao Yun pleadingly. Ao Yun smiled, turned to look out the window, and left this problem to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu had a look of surprise on his face: "Yes, we have already had some cooperation with the Linge family. Speaking of which, we really have some positions."

Susanna breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Master, Xuanmen values ​​more than just profit."

The corners of Ao Yun's lips curled up, and she gave Susanna a meaningful look, which made Susanna's heart pound. Lin Shu smiled nonchalantly.

"Yes, Susan is right. Taoism is about faith. If you say something, you will definitely follow it. If you make a promise, you must keep it. Without this principle, Taoism can't talk about respecting teachers and respecting Tao.

"

Even Anka breathed a sigh of relief this time. Fortunately, Susanna made a meritorious service this time.

Ao Yun rolled her eyes at Lin Shu. She didn't believe Lin Shu's lies. Xuanmen was indeed loyal and committed, but Xuanmen had never promised that Grand Linge would support him in his rise to power. Never.
