Throne Steps

Li Chen asked Dominic to take away the book given to him, and went to free activities that afternoon.

Before leaving, Dominic thought of something: "By the way, Mrs. Lichen, Shila wants to see you."

Yang Xiaoxiao?Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know." Dominique thought for a while, "But I have inquired... Maybe it's something that the chief executive didn't agree to."

"It's really strange." Amoya stretched indistinctly on the sofa at the back, "There are people who go to the chief executive first, and then come to the black swan if they can't ask for it?"

"I see, I'll take care of it." Li Chen answered Dominic first, and after he went out with the book in his arms, he turned back and sat down on the single sofa, "Why, don't you allow me to be the chief executive? Good deed?"

"'Good thing'?" Amoya sneered, "Do you know what is written in the scriptures? An ordinary person was persecuted, and the court manipulated by evil forces could not help him, so he turned to the dark world for help A man of vengeance."

Oh...it sounds a lot like the movie "The Godfather" I've seen before.Li Chen thought to himself, but said: "Why don't you say that the nobles can judge those who cannot be judged by the royal family?"

"I didn't mean that." Amoya waved his hands exaggeratedly, and then asked, "But... You mean the royal family? Is there any big drama about to be staged?"

"I can't tell you about this matter in detail, because most of it is still in the speculation stage." Li Chen smiled, "I can only say that it may have something to do with the newly appointed Minister of Finance."

"I heard that he is a pure minister. These days, it is basically difficult for a pure minister to do anything." Amoya touched his chin, "But if you say that the excitement is related to him, then it seems that the royal family is going to take action. "

"Whether the royal family has done something, what it wants to do, how it will be done... It's not clear yet." Li Chen replied, "However, the fleet's going to sea must be done quickly. Once there is chaos, the fleet's affairs will be easily delayed. , it is inevitable that there will be long nights and many dreams."

"Don't worry about this, I even sent a jurist to the city lord to help him confirm the documents that the fleet needs to submit." Amoya replied, "I will give you whatever you want. Even if I don't have one, I can give it to you." He conjures up."

After all, Amoya is a businessman who knows best how to use the least amount of resources to get the most benefit.Li Chen nodded, and said again: "The Minister of Finance, if he doesn't rely on the power of the nobles, he will definitely have more contacts with your chamber of commerce, and you should pay more attention to it."

"I understand." Amoya first responded, and then said with a strange expression, "But the Chamber of Commerce actually has very close contacts with the nobles..."

This is exactly what Amoya is to Saenz, and Amoya's younger brother is to Fujalal.

"Let's leave it to the newly appointed Minister of Finance to worry about." Li Chen dropped a sentence, then picked up the kettle and stood up, opened the door and handed it to the waiter outside and gave some instructions, then closed the door and walked back.

"Then let's go back to the previous topic?" Amoya said to the small tree ornaments still floating on the table, "Where did that thing come from?"

Li Chen stopped by the desk, twirled the hanging roots with his fingers, and replied: "I probably really know about this. But, I still can't tell you in detail."

This ornament, at first glance, was made by the elves. Li Chen even saw similar decorations in the elves' territories.

Ever since Yang Xiaoxiao appeared beside Saenz, Li Chen realized that the elves might have come to the Raetia Alliance.He asked Saenz at that time, but Saenz did not give a clear reply; when he asked Yang Xiaoxiao later, this innocent girl immediately revealed her secrets.

According to her, it was the elves who escorted her out of the elves' territory and did not leave until they handed her over to Saenz.

Li Chen didn't believe that the elf king who said "If you don't die, you will succeed", would send a team to escort this girl.After all, it is said that their force value is very high, so there is no need for so many people to escort one.

Then the question arises, what are these people doing in Letia, and where did they go after escorting Yang Xiaoxiao?

Li Chen faintly felt that the elves might want to personally manage their business in Retia.

Of course, this is all speculation, and Li Chen didn't get any rumors this time.This also shows that he will not get involved with the elves for the time being.If he can't get involved, Amoya can't get in either.

So, he just sent that text message to Amoya before.

Soon after that letter, luxury handicrafts that shocked the world appeared in the famous auction of the Raetia League.

Then Amoya seemed to understand something suddenly, so he bought one of them at a high price and came to ask for advice.

"Hey, you weren't like this before!" When Amoya heard that Li Chen was still unwilling to confess, he suddenly felt bitter, "I used to ask you what you said, but now it's all a secret. Is the relationship still there for many years?" Is it? Is our relationship still there?"

"Hey, don't make noise, you have a headache." Li Chen lowered his face, went back to the sofa and sat down while pressing his temples, "Anyway, the other party is not here to steal your business, you just know it and it's over."

Amoya replied: "Empty words have no proof, how can you tell me to believe you."

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Li Chen rolled his eyes at him, "Look at what they do, will they occupy your main market? How many people can spend as much money on one as you do?"

"Hey, I just want to understand potential competitors." Amoya said, "So, they only take the top luxury route?"

"I really don't know about that." Li Chen spread his hands, "Then again, if they really want to take over, this kind of technology may not be able to withstand the suppression of the chamber of commerce."

Li Chen didn't know that the Elf King had already discussed the military supply business with Saenz, otherwise he might not have kept the truth from Amoya.After all, he and Amoya also had the idea of ​​military supplies.

Amoya did not give up: "Can't you really let me get on line with them?"

Li Chen said helplessly: "I can't even get online, young master!"

"Hey..." Amoya sighed softly and asked, "Then I'll check it myself, is it okay?"

"Check it out." Li Chen waved his hand, but thought in his heart: Not to mention you, even Kunta, whose base camp is the closest to the elf territory, doesn't know the existence of elves.

There was a knock on the door, Li Chen shouted to enter, and a red-haired waitress came in with a teapot.

When she glanced at the suspended tree on the desk, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered and went to the coffee table to pour tea for Lichen and Amoya.

The red-haired girl moved gracefully and had a pretty face. Amoya stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.

"I suddenly remembered something." Amoya looked at Li Chen teasingly, "I heard that every time you appear in Zhuoya Qiumen, the ladies will throw fans at you, isn't it?"

After dinner, Amoya finally went to rest, and Li Chen met Ye Lian.

Yes, Ye Lian, the first female official of the Ainuma Temple, is also Wiggins' personal female official.The chief director of the temple still doesn't know that one of his closest confidantes was actually transferred from Li Chen's side.

"Miss Xila's request to the chief executive?" Ye Lian heard Li Chen's question, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation, "I'm not sure, but it's probably about Miss Xila's wanting to go down the mountain."

"Going down the mountain?" Li Chen asked, "Where does she want to go?"

"No." Ye Lian replied, "However, I have heard Miss Xila say more than once that she wants to visit various places in the alliance."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, he wasn't particularly surprised.This girl has been imprisoned by the elves for several years since she crossed over. She finally came to Letia and lived in a designated place, so she couldn't help being restless.Moreover, in the film and television works of the previous life, everyone who travels through has an extraordinary adventure. How could Yang Xiaoxiao be in a corner?

However, this is not something she can leave if she wants to.

Yang Xiaoxiao will soon know that the world she travels through is far more realistic than she imagined.

"I understand, thank you." Li Chen smiled at Ye Lian, "She has a special status, so please 'look after' her more."

Ye Lian said: "It should."

Yang Xiaoxiao still came to look for Li Chen.

She was still a little cowardly towards the black swan, grabbing the study door that Dominic knocked on together.As soon as the door opened, Lichen and Fudexi were both there.

It's rare for them both to wear the black swan uniform today, with a black background and gold trim, adding a sense of oppression.

Fudexi was half leaning against the wall by the window, with a long black ponytail tied behind his head, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a tall figure.The whole uniform was attached to him, which made him less mean and more cold.He was wearing white ceremonial gloves, holding the bow body with one hand, and with a piece of cloth on the fingertips of the other hand, he gently picked up the bowstring and wiped it slowly.

Li Chen was sitting at the desk.He didn't wear a uniform jacket, but only a white shirt with no collar flower, but the collar badge was flipping in his hands.Seeing Yang Xiaoxiao and Dominique coming, he stood up and walked over.His slender legs were wrapped in black uniform trousers, and the riding boots on his feet were polished brightly. Li Chen's every move showed an elegant demeanor.

Yang Xiaoxiao vaguely recalled that she had seen Li Chen in uniform in the elves' territory, but at that time he was wearing a white uniform, and he didn't look so... fierce.

"Here we come." Li Chen smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Dominic on the head, and pointed to the table, "Your uniform is there, go and try it on. Khorkina said, this is a new pattern, It's best to wear it and move around to make sure it won't bind you. If there is no problem, I will change to this version of the uniform in the future..."

Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't care less about listening to what he was saying at the moment, because she saw Fudexi suddenly put an arrow on the bowstring, with the point of the arrow pointing this way, and then suddenly pulled the bowstring full!

will be shot!Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help screaming, and squatted down with her head in her arms.

Fudexi and Li Chen, who turned back to look at each other, looked at each other coldly, turned sideways, and released the arrow out of the window.

Sa——

The bowstring hummed in the air.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows.

Fudexi lowered his hands and walked towards the door with his bow in hand: "I'll go first."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Shall we fight again when we have time?"

"You can't beat me." Fudexi didn't hide his sarcasm, then stopped at the door, looked condescendingly at Yang Xiaoxiao who was squatting on the ground and hugged her head, "Excuse me, give me a break."

Yang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw that two pairs of black riding boots were in sight, so she hurried to the door in fright.

Fudexi never took special care of women, so he sneered and walked straight away.

"Okay." Li Chen smiled, "Come in and talk about something."

Yang Xiaoxiao silently swallowed her saliva, and slowly stood up, but she didn't dare to mention her desire to leave again.
