When Su Mu and his party came to Longtuo Imperial Capital again, it was already the time when the sun was slanting to the west.
Although compared to the Federation in the southern part of the mainland, the Longtuo Empire, located in the high-cold zone, seems to be surrounded by the coldness even in today's midsummer season.
But compared to the previous deep winter, all the snow in the imperial capital has finally receded.
And with the approach of midsummer, the moment of sunset is also infinitely delayed.
In today's imperial capital, even if it is already filled with fireworks, every household has already begun to prepare dinner, and the restaurant streets are full of people.
However, the round of blood on the horizon was still unwilling to disappear.
Although above the north and south lines of the mainland, the Papal State’s offensive pace has become more rapid, and it is constantly devouring the vitality of the Raksha State and the two countries.
But for an empire that has been standing for tens of thousands of years, most of the people of the empire still just live every day as usual, and there is no sense of tension at all.
After all, the movement of the entire continent has happened many times in human history.
However, since the establishment of the empire, there has not been a single mainland movement that can truly affect the survival of the Longtuo Empire.
Whether it is on the west side of the mainland, the Papal Kingdom rises from the wreckage of Ingleia.
Still in the south of the mainland, a group of wizards created a legend called the Federation.
Any mainland movement seems to only happen outside the empire... Neither do they covet the empire’s cold territories, and no one dares to challenge the empire’s ten thousand years of accumulation.
Not to mention, in today's mainland movement, the Longtuo Empire has already blatantly dispatched troops to aid neighboring countries before the war raged on him.
From the perspective of most civilians, this is undoubtedly a symbol of the empire's still domineering.
…
"It seems that the state of the empire in terms of public opinion control is much better than that of the Federation. Even to the present level, the residents of the empire still have full confidence and never worry about the situation of the empire. And this positive atmosphere is undoubtedly also This is the reason the empire can be unscrupulous."
Compared with the indifference of the residents of the imperial capital, the imperial official who truly understands the conspiracy of the Papal Kingdom is obviously more nervous than the people.
As Su Mu and his party just landed in the airport, a neat line of ceremonial vehicles is already on standby at the alchemy core, silently waiting for the arrival of Su Mu and his party.
Even at this moment, the empire did not give priority to a grand reception ceremony for Su Mu and his party as in the previous academy conference. Instead, they carried Su Mu and his entourage who had just arrived, and went directly to the Chamber of Commerce, which was still in a verbal battle.
It has to be said that the empire's behavior finally slightly exposed some aspect of their urgency.
Although from the perspective of external public opinion, the empire does not seem to have redundant concerns at all.
But in essence, when Yang Zimu and his party successfully returned, they clearly revealed the astonishing speculations and the various ambitions of the Papal kingdom.
Today's empire's senior officials are undoubtedly beginning to be slightly anxious about the empire's future.
So after hearing Su Mu's judgment through the car window, Lu Xi quickly followed Su Mu's topic and continued to add:
"The only thing I don't know now is the urgency of the empire...whether it hopes to start a full-scale war against the Papal State earlier, or whether it hopes to deepen its union with the Federation more quickly."
"The answer to this question is actually the reason why we went to the empire."
…
Not long after, the orderly Qi-powered ceremonial car has been parked neatly outside the door of a building in the center of the imperial capital.
Although the power center of the entire Longtuo Empire is undoubtedly the Imperial City.
However, the joint negotiation between the two countries cannot be carried out directly in the imperial city.
Therefore, the Honghe Temple in front of us is also the place where the empire's official and federal envoys exchange opinions, and it is also the battlefield where Su Tong is fighting.
Although on the way to the empire, Su Mu and Lu Xi had already made full psychological preparations.
He had already made up his mind to face Su Tong more frankly.
However, what Su Mu and Lu Xi did not expect after all was that the meeting between the two of them and Su Tong would come faster and more bizarre than expected.
When Su Mu and his party, who had just arrived, under the leadership of the imperial ceremonial officer, stepped into the meeting hall where various opinions were constantly being negotiated.
Su Tong now sits in the first place on the right side of the hall with awe-inspiring expression.
Standing in the front of the federation, her delicate brows wrinkled slightly unconsciously, as if she was thinking about some kind of problem that made her difficult to decide.
On the corresponding side of the empire, the leader is another acquaintance of Su Mu:
In the end, he might inherit Su Tan, the prince of Datong and the second prince of the empire.
…
The arrival of Su Mu and his party undoubtedly interrupted the spitting confrontation of words above the hall.
Everyone in the Great Hall of Ling Ling looked at Su Mu and his party for the first time.
Until this moment, Su Tong, who was still frowning slightly, finally burst into a bright light from the bottom of his eyes, and quickly looked in the direction of Su Mu and Lu Xi.
But at this moment, after all, this is the diplomatic hall of Honghe Temple.
And because of Su Mu and Lu Xi's own reasons, of course, the two of them also wanted to meet Su Tong in private rather than talking on this occasion.
Therefore, under this situation, although Su Tong had already confirmed Su Mu's return with his own eyes, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile; and Su Mu and Lu Xi were also full of guilt and regret because they met again.
But today's three Su Mu rooms, each suppressed the emotions in their hearts.
Instead, he devoted all his energy to the situation in front of him.
"Thirteen Xi Luxi at the Northern Magic Academy, 15 Su Mu at the Northern Magic Academy, and Hubert, the Knight Commander of the Xuankong Mountain Corps... I'm here to participate in the military cooperation talks between the two countries!"
Although on the paper documents, the name of the foreign inspector is obviously placed on Lu Xi's head.
However, everyone here obviously does not understand the truth.
So now, Su Mu simply stopped hiding behind the scenes. Instead, he stood in front of the stage generously and proactively issued the above declaration to the empire.
As for the arrival of Su Mu, in fact, it has already been known to everyone.
Seeing that Su Mu had taken the initiative to stand up now, Su Tan, the second prince of the empire, was even more unceremonious, and directly revealed a deliberately affectionate face.
Then it was extremely unpredictable, directly throwing out a sentence that shocked everyone:
"Brother-in-law, you are finally here... Regarding this in-depth alliance between our two countries, I am afraid you really have to make a decision yourself!"
