Bulwark of Light

Chapter 217 Night at Lion’s Lane (1)

The sound of crying in the ward was intermittent, and it was hard to imagine that it was a voice that a man could make.

Sounds… crap.

The old man looked at his son calmly.

There was no disappointment in his eyes.

Without hope, there will be no disappointment.

“I…don’t want to go to Beizhou…”

Zhao Qi raised his head with tears in his eyes and pleaded, “I want to stay in Dadu…”

Zhao Xilai didn’t change his expression, just silently connected the call.

“Hello.”

Across from a trembling voice.

“Hello… Mr. Congressman, it’s me.”

It was Liu Yi’s voice.

“I’m…in Madam’s house now. It’s just that the situation may not be what you expected.”

Liu Yi has an unsheathed silver knife in front of her neck. Hanging, Lu Nan Jin stood with a knife and looked indifferent, leaning against her back, the banyan tree leaves in the old house were rustling, and there was no other sound.

The lady was drinking tea in the house, Song Ci and Gu Shen were standing on both sides.

Liu Yi could feel the cold glow penetrating from the silver knife in front of her neck… When she left Dadu, Lu Nan Jin was just a little girl, and when she came back ten years later, she has become A well-known figure among the younger generation of the Judiciary.

The killing intent oozing from the knife made her scalp tingle.

“Really?”

There weren’t too many surprises on the call.

Zhao Xilai spoke softly and said, “You entered Lu Nanzhi’s yard, it’s already good.”

Liu Yi gave a wry smile and was about to speak.

“I guess there’s a saber hanging around your neck now.” Zhao Xilai said indifferently: “It’s Nan Jin little girl’s knife.”

The voice swayed in the courtyard .

The posture of Madam drinking tea did not change, Song Ci and Gu Shen looked at each other.

Lu Nan Jin was coldly snorted, his hand gripping the knife even harder.

Liu Yi felt that the blade glow in front of her neck became even colder, and Zhao Xilai, who was far away at the other end of Dadu, said softly, “Last time at the dance, I didn’t have time to say hello… I haven’t seen you for ten years, are you okay? “

“Thanks to you. These ten years… I have lived a fulfilling life.” Lu Nan Jin said coldly.

“This knife should be placed in front of my neck.” Zhao Xilai said indifferently: “Liu Yi is only acting on orders, there is no need to deliberately embarrass her… It’s better to let her go.”

“It’s the time when the councilors are handed over. At this juncture… send a transcender to invade the house, what do you want to do? You really think we are fools, can’t you guess?”

Song Ci moved forward One step, he came to the communicator and said, “Master Zhao, it’s not appropriate to say forgiveness at this time, right?”

“Liu Yi didn’t come to kill…”

The Old Master paused, saying, “I’ve had another conversation with Bright City from Western Continent, and the Lin Family from Northland. Regarding the bill…I have new ideas.”

Mrs. calmly said: “You are impossible to give in.”

“It’s the Zhao family who can’t give in.” Zhao Xilai said slowly: “My reputation, my promise, the thousands of absolute devotees behind me, and Gao Xuanhua The building with the banner… does not allow me to make concessions. It’s just that this time of negotiation, Bright City and the Lin Family are willing to give Huaqi more time.”

“More…time?”

“The bill can be postponed and postponed. This is the greatest concession I can make, and I am still willing to make this deal with you on previous terms…”

The deal This word sounds cold.

“But the premise is that you no longer express strong objections. You can declare your neutrality and abstain from voting, just like Nagano Castle. The copywriting for changing your position…I have prepared it for you too.” Zhao Xilai Covering his lips, he coughed hard. He suppressed the sound of his cough and tried to cheer himself up so that the other side of the communication couldn’t hear his depression as much as possible.

Change sides?

From Opposition to Neutral…

Sounds absurd, but in fact this is completely actionable, in the context of a major bill and an important vote Any member of parliament has the right to make a more “prudent” decision after more “prudent” thinking.

even more how, Mrs. has no need to stand and fight for her own interests. There is no suspense in the competition for alternative MPs.

“I refuse.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Nanzhi refused directly.

“If you send someone just to say this, I’m so disappointed.” The lady said slowly: “At the end of this week, I will take over as the third member of the metropolitan area. My The attitude won’t change.”

“…”

There was more than silence over the phone.

There was also an old, long, helpless sigh.

“I sent Liu Yi to this house because… the [Apostle] of Central Continent has arrived in Dadu. The [Apostle] of the Divine Throne, the tower of the source, released an ultimatum this morning.” Zhao Xilai said hoarsely: “The last three days… If Huazhi can’t make you change your attitude, he will use his own means to end it all.”

“Actually… from what I know about the [Apostles], they will never really wait three days. Once Huaqi doesn’t take action, they may do it right away, which is how I dispatched Liu Yi reason.”

Zhao Xilai said solemnly: “The old city is an ancient area where 【Sky Eyes】 are scarce, and they may have come a long time ago.”

“Even if there are 【Sky Eyes】, It’s useless. They can’t capture the traces of the [Apostles]… Those people are extrajudicial ghosts allowed by the federal government.” Liu Yi stretched out two fingers, gently touched Lu Nan Jin’s blade, and slowly moved He pushed away a short distance and said cautiously, “Perhaps not far from this house, the [Apostle] is looking at us.”

These words made everyone present, Cold sweat broke out from behind.

“[Apostle]…what is this?”

This is the first time Song Ci has heard of the existence of this thing. Sincerely, he will help the two members deal with the tedious disputes in the underground Transcendent World. , but it does not include events such as the collapse of order. About black spots and related rumors, they are currently only circulating among the upper levels of officially established institutions.

Lu Nan Jin let go of the knife.

Liu Yi relaxed, she hurriedly shorted away from Lu Nan Jin, leaned her back to the house door, and said, “You don’t need to know what an [Apostle] is, just remember… this is not an existence we can fight against .”

“Oh…is it really as powerful as you said?”

Song Ci rubbed his eyebrows, his intuition was extremely sharp.

“No wonder I always feel that something is not right. Something is staring at me.”

As night fell, he felt that there was a shadow in his heart, vaguely pressed.

The banyan tree in the old house of Lion Lane sprinkles golden light.

The inner core of the lantern still has more than half of it, but the flames start to beat violently. It seems that something is accelerating the burning of the lantern…

This is a seal that blocks the perception of spirit strength thing.

When there is spirit strength trying to peep into the house, this lantern will burn itself, resist the will, and also play a warning role.

What does the lantern flame beating so fiercely mean?

Liu Yi’s expression was a little ugly.

“Mr. Senator…”

As a spiritual superhuman, she has vaguely felt the danger, but the next conversation can no longer continue, and the communicator’s signal seems to be disturbed , was forced to hang up.
