In the Foreign Affairs Mansion, the third-grade guard responsible for patrol was walking cautiously without making any sound.
The moment Lu Li stepped into it, he felt several rather sharp auras locking onto him.
"Tongxuan peak!"
This kind of smell was all too familiar to Lu Li.
After all, he was still in this realm more than ten days ago.
"The four peak Tongxuan, it seems that they are the second-grade guards in the mansion." After stopping for a moment to look around, Lu Li sensed the source of those malicious auras. He glanced at them one by one. Although he could not see anyone, he The guards hiding in the dark seemed to have confirmed something, and their hostile aura quickly disappeared.
"If Qi Yun hadn't been talking nonsense, these four people should be strong men belonging to the palace's secret guards."
Lu Li licked his lips. Unexpectedly, a force that was supposed to belong to King Yan was now controlled by the general manager named Yuan Jingtao.
Even if there are only four people, this is enough to show that the current situation in Prince Yan's Mansion is quite bad.
As the owner of this mansion, King Yan cannot even fully grasp the extremely dangerous power of secret guards, which means that she is almost out of the picture now.
Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still in her own hands, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has probably become the back garden of 'Manager Yuan'.
Thinking of this, Lu Li probably understood why he was sent to work under Yuan Jingtao.
"Do you want to bury a chess piece as a way to check Yuan Jingtao in the future?" Lu Li frowned, but he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and quickly walked to the door of the Foreign Affairs Office and said loudly: " Lu Li, a third-grade bodyguard, would like to see Manager Yuan."
As soon as he spoke out, the entire Foreign Affairs Office fell into a strange atmosphere.
The patrolling guards stopped moving, and even the strong secret guards hidden in the depths had their auras fluctuating as a result.
Just a small detail is enough to show that Yuan Jingtao's accumulated power far exceeds that of King Yan!
"Come in."
No unnecessary nonsense.
Within the Foreign Affairs Office, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
Lu Li raised his head and reached out to push open the door in front of him.
A trace of decaying rust rushed out along the airflow.
Lu Li's nose moved and he recognized the smell of blood.
Looking forward, he saw a handsome man wearing a black gown, writing at his desk.
"I've met Manager Yuan." Lu Li looked at the man in front of him and at the same time observed the situation in the room, thinking about what to say next.
At this time, Yuan Jingtao, who was in front of the writing desk, slowly raised his head, pointed to the half-height document on the table, and said calmly: "You saw it too, just tell me why you are here."
Lu Li and Yuan Jingtao's eyes met each other, and they could see the deep indifference and coldness hidden in those eyes.
Combined with the vague smell of blood in the room, Lu Li had probably guessed that what Qi Yun said was true. Manager Yuan's character was indeed difficult to get along with.
"General Manager Yuan, I am here under the order of His Highness King Yan. I hope that the General Manager can provide some convenience."
Lu Li didn't even think about it and just used the name King Yan.
Although it may not be useful, if you don't pull this tiger skin, the subsequent conversation will not go so smoothly.
As expected, when he heard Lu Li mentioning King Yan, Yuan Jingtao's hand holding the pen paused slightly and showed a somewhat contemptuous smile, "Tell me what you want."
"First, I hope that Manager Yuan can assign some smart fourth-grade guards to be dispatched by me."
"This is within your scope of authority, okay." Yuan Jingtao glanced at Lu Li, his tone still calm.
When Lu Li heard his decisive promise, he sneered in his heart, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still later."
Then he continued: "The second thing is that I want General Manager Yuan to issue a transfer order that will allow me to command the palace forces in the imperial capital. Including martial arts schools, shops, land transportation, water transportation..."
At the end, Lu Li paused deliberately and observed Yuan Jingtao's expression.
As expected, the chief steward had put down his pen at this moment, his eyes filled with coldness.
Lu Li then continued: "Of course, it would be great if Manager Yuan can ask the 'Shenwei Division' to cooperate with me."
"hehe."
When he finished the last sentence, Yuan Jingtao couldn't help but laugh, "You have such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of stretching yourself to death?"
After that, he sat up straight, as if he wanted to take a good look at the young man in front of him, with a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth, "Shenwei Division is the last trump card of Prince Yan's house. Even if Prince Yan is here, without me and Ge Xinyue Even if it is allowed, it cannot be transferred. Because it not only belongs to Prince Yan’s Mansion, but also belongs to the Holy Kingdom and His Majesty.”
"You want Shenwei Division to help? Why do you want it?"
Yuan Jingtao's tone was not harsh, but very gentle, as if he really wanted a reason.
But Lu Li heard it clearly and knew it was an invisible threat.
Of course, it was not threatening him, but threatening King Yan.
With existences like Shenweisi, each of the nine palaces controls one. It is not only the last trump card of each palace, but also a line of defense for the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
The combination of these nine major forces is enough to overthrow any royal palace or wealthy family in the Holy Land of Tuntian. Even at the most critical moment, they have the power to destabilize the imperial court and force the invincible Majesty of the Holy Kingdom to abdicate, and then let them wipe out foreign aggression. , stabilize the situation.
Therefore, such a powerful force, even if it is only one-ninth, cannot be driven at will.
Not to mention that Lu Li has now obtained the status of a third-grade bodyguard. Even if he goes a step further and becomes a second-grade guard, or even replaces Yuan Jingtao as a first-grade general manager, he still does not have the qualifications to direct the Shenwei Division.
"General Manager Yuan misunderstood."
Lu Li seemed not to understand Yuan Jingtao's threat, and said with a smile: "I just need you to raise your finger so that I can talk to the people from Shenwei Division. The rest, I don't need Manager Yuan to worry about."
After saying that, Lu Li bowed slightly towards Yuan Jingtao, his posture was very respectful.
But Yuan Jingtao's eyes were a little colder.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said word by word: "Martial arts hall, shops, land transportation, water transportation, these four alone represent a huge amount of money, a large amount of materials, and all the external information channels of our Prince Yan's Mansion. , will be delivered to your hands. These alone are not enough, you also want the help of Shenwei Division, is it possible that you want to plot rebellion? "
"The manager is joking, but this matter is very important to King Yan. His Highness has made an explanation. No matter who it is, they must cooperate fully." Lu Li said softly: "Otherwise, whoever blocks it will kill whoever."
After saying this, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a bit. Yuan Jingtao raised his eyebrows and stared at Lu Li, "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare."
Lu Li raised his head and smiled harmlessly.
But Yuan Jingtao still saw another meaning in this smile.
Lu Li didn't dare to be right, but the people who are supporting Lu Li now may not dare to do so.
"It seems that King Yan can no longer wait for the disaster relief funds." After a long time, Yuan Jingtao took a deep look at Lu Li, threw his belt over, and said calmly: "Take this belt, In two days, no one in the capital will dare to stop you."
Lu Li took the badge and put it into his sleeve without looking at it. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Then, thank you Manager Yuan."
