On the Seven Towers

Peng Ziyi and his party met Bai Yicheng who came down to greet them on the second floor, but what Bai Yicheng said next was beyond their expectations.

"Chairman Guo has finally arrived. This time we finally have the Dinghai Shenzhen. This time he didn't even have to rest. He hurriedly called everyone here, mainly because the empire had sent a secret envoy. There were hundreds of thousands of urgent things to do in Hewan New City that we arrived yesterday. Discuss with us.”

"Emissary of the Empire?" Guo Qian glanced at Peng Ziyi, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know about it.

"What is their purpose?" Guo Qian asked.

"Let's talk in the room upstairs." Bai Yicheng turned around and made a guiding gesture.

He looked at the special agents of the Ministry of Intelligence accompanying the committee members, looked at Peng Ziyi and asked: "Minister Peng, who are these people?"

Peng Ziyi said calmly: "The situation is tense now. We had to strengthen security work all the way back. We were not directly brought to the meeting by you, so our people in charge of security work have not withdrawn yet. But now that you said there are imperial envoys Come here and let my colleagues take over the security work.”

Bai Yicheng said: "There are staff arranged by Jiang Yitian."

"Now that I'm back, I'll take over this matter." Peng Ziyi smiled and said: "It's not like there are too many people as a security guard. Besides, the Imperial people see so many of us, which is enough to show their respect for us." They value it, don’t they?”

"That's fine." Bai Yicheng did not object and led the way with a normal expression.

After walking a few steps, Bai Yicheng walked to a position shoulder to shoulder with Guo Qian and whispered to Guo Qian: "Chairman Guo, the visit of the imperial envoy was actually facilitated by Chang Lin."

"How to say?"

"The empire has always had intelligence agents operating within our territory. This is a secret that everyone knows, but we have never caught a really valuable big fish before. When you went out to patrol before, Jiang Yitian seized a fish based on the clues he had accumulated in the past. The imperial people set up a contact point here. After interrogation, it was found that the imperial people's contact point here has a lot of influence on the country.

Didn't it happen that the plague broke out in Heimuguan? Vice Chairman Chang learned that the empire was also in panic, and some people had already thought of withdrawing their troops. He contacted several powerful people in the empire through this person, hoping to negotiate. Achieve the effect of causing the enemy to retreat without a single blow. "

"Who are those so-called powerful people?" Guo Qian asked.

"The most important one among them is Bernard, Duke of Whitefish City, Prime Minister of the Empire. However, the envoys sent by Duke Bernard are hidden from other people in the country. They can stay for a very short time and will leave early tomorrow morning, so , I have no choice but to invite everyone over now.”

Peng Ziyi, who was following behind, interrupted: "This is strange. If we delay our trip, won't these so-called secret envoys stop talking?"

"Well... Actually, Vice Chairman Chang had a separate conversation with them yesterday, and they reached some consensus. However, Vice Chairman Chang felt that it was just the right time for you to come back, so it would be better for you to talk to the imperial emissary in person. It would be better for him to discuss it alone and then report it," Bai Yicheng explained.

"Do you know the specific situation?" Guo Qian asked.

"I only learned about this today. I don't know exactly how it was discussed. Chang Lin just told me the causes and consequences...as well as some of his inner motives and thoughts." Bai Yicheng said with some entanglement. , "Chairman Guo, there is something I don't know whether I should say."

"Go ahead," Guo Qian said.

Bai Yicheng said: "Actually, I think what Chang Lin did was also a gesture to the committee. The fundamental reason why he did this was to share the worries of the committee. Contributing to the results of this negotiation is a gesture to the committee. Okay. I think he regrets some of the things he has done before. If at this time, the committee can put past the past and look forward together, I think we will get the most satisfactory result."

"Is this what he meant or your guess?" Guo Qian asked.

"More or less. Although he didn't say it clearly, I can grasp his thoughts." Bai Yicheng said.

Neither Guo Qian nor Peng Ziyi responded directly to Bai Yicheng's remarks. Peng Ziyi said: "Where is his own person? Why didn't he show up?"

"Vice Chairman Chang said before that he would arrange for the imperial emissary to come over. Let's go up first. They should arrive later."

Guo Qian and his party arrived at the conference room arranged by Bai Yicheng and found that some committee members who were originally in Hewan Xincheng were already waiting in the conference room. However, many committee members were still unable to attend due to various reasons, such as those who were under construction in the south. Meng Guoqiang from the new factory, Mao Kai, Qin Mu and Liu Yisheng who were assisting Wang Jiyuan in Suero were all absent from the meeting.

Peng Ziyi followed into the room, looked around, and said to his special service personnel: "Leave six people to inspect and protect this room, and the remaining four people will check the surrounding rooms in pairs."

He walked to the conference table in the middle of the room and sat down, but his heart was not at peace. Although Bai Yicheng's words just now seemed to have no logical flaws, he still felt that something was not right.

Of course he knew that the imperial people were attacked by the plague. However, they could get in touch with the imperial high-level officials through a spy, and then they would react so quickly and send people to negotiate... All this seemed a little too smooth. Peng Ziyi had just been observing Bai Yicheng. In the field of vision of detecting spirits, Bai Yicheng's mental fluctuations were relatively stable, and Peng Ziyi could not see any signs of him lying.

Including now, he followed Guo Qian and said something about Chang Lin, which seemed to be from the heart.

This guy remained neutral on the surface and did not get particularly close to Chang Lin, but in fact he was Chang Lin's secret ally. Peng Ziyi wondered, did Chang Lin really want to show goodwill to them, or did Chang Lin deceive Bai Yicheng as well?

Just as he thought of this, one of his special agents rushed in from outside, hurried to his side, and whispered in his ear: "Boss, we saw the imperialists when we checked a room. They were led by Li Ke from our intelligence department. There were four of them, three men and one woman. They didn't look like good people, nor did they look like officials on a visit. They gave people a very strange feeling.

They claimed to be secret envoys and said they were waiting for Chairman Guo.

Li Ke refused to say at first, but after I pressed him a few questions, he said that Jiang Yitian arranged for them to wait here.

Now I let Xiao Zhang guard there, what should we do?"
