Chapter 139
Thanks to these responsible guards, the good surprise turned into fright.
Ling Zhan looked at Lan Yu's back vest with a numb heart, and was very afraid that the guard behind him would accidentally shoot his gun.
At this time, the guards saw Ling Zhan, immediately stood at attention, and greeted in unison: "I have seen the third highness!"
Although the empire's rules are very doggy, the people in the Elders' Council building know the identities of the royal family members and have signed a confidentiality agreement, so it is not surprising to call him the Third Highness.
Ling Zhan didn't speak, but his expression was clearly displeased.
Leng Jue, who had just finished his visit to the grave, was startled by the soldier carrying the gun, and thought: I don't think I did anything wrong, what is the matter with the look of the Third Highness wanting to kill me?
Lan Yu felt the shaking of the gun poking his back, couldn't help smiling, and decided to take revenge on these big guards.
Lan Yu cleared his throat, coughing away the embarrassment of meeting Ling Zhan in this way, then looked at Ling Zhan, and said, "Help me."
His voice sounded full of grievances, but Lan Yu felt that this was not exciting enough, so he added three more words: "My dear."
Ling Zhan, who was walking this way, staggered on the flat ground when he heard the last three words, and the guard behind was frightened, and put his gun on Lan Yu's head, saying: "Shut up!" Can you imagine the Third Highness?!"
Fierce Baba!
Lan Yu rolled his eyes, and mentally tagged the elder brother guard who raised his gun behind him.
"I'm really not what he can think about." At this moment, Ling Zhan walked up to Lan Yu, looked down into Lan Yu's eyes, and said very seriously.
The guard didn't feel relieved when he heard this, because he felt that the eyes of the Third Highness looking at this person were not quite right, like a lone wolf in the forest staring at its prey, and the bite was so tight, as if anyone wanted to If you dare to rob him, he can tear this daring guy to pieces on the spot.
The guard's whole body was tense, however, the next moment he was too tense, and he almost sat on the ground crying in fright.
I saw Ling Zhan turned his mental power line with his fingertips and twisted the well-made gun in his hand. If he dared to shoot it out, it would definitely explode.
Immediately afterwards, the guard saw Ling Zhan dragging the man over, straightening his clothes that had been wrinkled by the gun, and said softly, "Because I miss him all the time."
"..."
Lan Yu gave a "tsk" and continued, "Don't be foolish."
Ling Zhan raised his eyebrows and said blankly, "You started first." After speaking, he pointed to the guards behind him and asked, "Do you think the third princess started first?"
It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, several people go crazy on the spot.
Led by the elder brother who pointed the gun at the person, he threw the gun to the ground, bowed his head and said, "Please also ask the third princess to have a lot!"
Lan Yu frowned, and forced the guard's back to stand up: "Did I say I would blame you?"
The guard was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No."
"Then he," Lan Yu pointed to Ling Zhan: "Did he ever say he was going to blame you?"
The guard continued to be stunned: "No."
"Then what are you afraid of?" Lan Yu looked into his eyes and asked.
"I······"
The guard didn't know what to answer for a moment, Lan Yu forced him to ask: "Answer me, now, immediately, immediately!"
Wrinkled under pressure, the guard shrank his shoulders and said, "I'm afraid of being punished!"
Lan Yu continued to ask: "Then did anyone say that we will punish you?"
Guard: "No."
"Since there are none, what are you afraid of doing things impartially?" Lan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Or, after entering the confinement room, do you want to do private business, are you guilty?"
In a sense, doing public and private affairs is much more serious than offending, and you might end up in jail.
The guard started to get hairy all over, and immediately defended himself: "No! Absolutely not! Please believe me!"
"In that case," Lan Yu picked up the gun from the ground and patted him on the back: "Then carry your gun on your back and go on with your own business, don't ask for something insignificant here."
The guard was numb. It was the first time he saw such a person, and he felt something that he had never felt before. He was not very good at describing it, but it seemed that some heavy shackles were missing from his body.
He watched the back of Ling Zhan leading Lan Yu away, always feeling unreal, but when Lan Yu and Ling Zhan were about to reach the elevator entrance, Lan Yu suddenly stopped and turned his head.
The guard thought he realized what crazy nonsense he had said, and planned to come back and punish him.
Unexpectedly, Lan Yu just pointed at his gun and said, "Guns are for fighting, not for you to throw."
After saying that, Ren and Ling Zhan left completely.
The guard and his younger brothers stood there for a long time, until the eldest prince came down from the stairs and said displeasedly, "Neglect of duty, what are you doing here? Go out and patrol." back to God.
Then, with an inexplicable sense of gap, they continued to do their own things with guns in hand.
******
Lan Yu and Ling Zhan naturally didn't know what happened next. When they stepped into the elevator, Lan Yu looked at the number of floors and turned around and asked, "Which floor do you want to take me to?"
Ling Zhan: "28."
Lan Yu stretched out his hand to press the button, but it turned on by itself, and there was even a mechanical female voice: "It takes five minutes to arrive on the 28th floor. Please wait patiently."
"..."
Good guy, voice control!
He turned his head and glared at Ling Zhan resentfully: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Did you see my joke?"
"I thought you knew." Ling Zhan crossed his arms and leaned against the bright silver elevator wall, looking a bit cold.
Lan Yu knew that something must have happened once Ling Zhan put on such a bad face of "stay away from me".
So Lan Yu didn't worry about keeping his voice down anymore, touched his face, and asked, "What's the matter, the people in the royal family are bothering you, or did the bastards from the Federation recruit you?"
Lan Yu's palm was very warm, Ling Zhan subconsciously pasted it and said, "Nothing. Other things."
"Oh," Lan Yu nodded: "If it's convenient, you can tell me. It's okay if it's not convenient."
"Ah."
Then what······?
After Ling Zhan responded, there was no more to say, obviously it was inconvenient to say.
The elevator room fell silent. Fortunately, Lan Yu is not the kind of person who is very keen on asking the bottom line, otherwise Ling Zhan would not even think about running away today.
After getting out of the elevator, Ling Zhan took Lan Yu to his lounge in this building.
The 28th floor is the highest floor, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows have a wide view. Standing next to it, you can clearly overlook the core area of the Emperor Star. It should have been a prosperous scene, but in an instant, it was not as good as the Demar Street on Iceborne Star.
In this terrorist attack, the best-preserved building is no different from the Elders' Building, because this is where the First Legion was stationed, and those who attacked were destroyed before they could get close.But the place where several other legions were stationed was obviously not so lucky, and the ruins were worse than the last, which can only be described as beyond recognition.
The most damaged must be the jurisdiction of the Fourth Legion brought by the second prince. The managers are all dead, and the Legion has not been recovered by the Council of Elders, and it has long been in disarray.
Also, the residences of the top four families are also in the core area, and the four originally conspicuous buildings are no different from ruins now.
However, seeing that the four major families have contributed so much tax revenue to the empire, after the terrorist attack, Mr. Ling came forward and asked someone to clean up the VIP room on the 27th floor of the Senate building for them to live in temporarily until everything is restored. Well, I moved back, and even set up disaster prevention areas around to accommodate many temporarily homeless people.
But in the end, these titles were all thrown on Ling Zhan's head by Mr. Ling. The meaning was self-evident. He was taking the opportunity to build momentum for Ling Zhan, hoping that he would gain an advantage in the upcoming competition for the heir.
The position of the heir of the empire is a voting system, that is, competitors will be nominated at that time, and then the representatives of the family and the masses will vote, one person, one vote, and a total of [-] representatives will be elected.But in the hands of the top four families, each family gets [-] votes.
Although the top four families cannot participate in political activities, they have a natural position when choosing their favorite ruler. This is why they are willing to be squeezed, because subconsciously they feel that they are valued. After all, choosing the emperor It was chosen by themselves.
I have to say, this system is very interesting.At least that's what Lan Yu thinks. The ruler elected in the end may not be the one supported by most people at all, as long as he learns to win over the top four families.
It can be seen from this that the status of the top four families is actually a bit ridiculous. They need their support to squeeze them. No wonder the royal family's suppression is always in the dark, and few dare to directly bomb like Ling Zhan. Less, it can even be said to be unprecedented.
But it doesn't matter whether it is bombed or not. The relationship between the royal family and the four top families is inherently treacherous. Like the He family, it must be the eldest prince's faction. Where is the queen He Yun sitting in the town? How could she vote for Ling Zhan? .
And the Lan family will vote for the First Prince along with the He family.It's ridiculous to say that Lan Yu felt a little sympathetic to Lan Ce. After the boy explained the matter to Ms. Jin Shuya, he finally got only one sentence: "We still have to attach to the He family for the time being. You should be wronged first. When the He family collapses, you can get back to me." Let the bad breath out, bear with it for a while."
Lan Yu can even imagine Lan Ce's grievance when he sent a message to him. Although he has been instilled in the idea of paying for the family since he was a child, but he has experienced such a thing once, and it is estimated that all ideas are farts.
Continuing to talk about the Shen family and the Xu family, the attitude of the Shen family must be clear, except for Ling Zhan, it is impossible for them to vote for others, but the Xu family is still a bit difficult to guess.
The two prospective heirs who can vote on behalf of the family, the relationship between them is like that, the probability of Xu Chengzhou voting for the First Prince is greatly reduced, but the probability of him voting for Ling Zhan is not high, after all, the Xu family has always supported the First Prince before, and there is always a risk of a sudden defection. It's kind of inexplicable, and Xu Chengzhou helped He Sen to make troubles. It's still a matter of whether Ling Zhan is willing to accept him, so the Xu family is very likely to abstain.
In this situation, it is necessary to build momentum for Ling Zhan, because of the uncertainty of the Xu family, as long as he gets more than [-] votes from the people, he will win the election!
"Lan Yu." Ling Zhan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said, "What do you think of this terrorist attack?"
