Throne Steps

Lichen stayed in Zhuoya Qiuming for the temple, and also went to Tadan for the temple. "Grace" will be next year, and Lichen has to confirm whether Saenz will put his "main battlefield" in the newly completed temple.

The construction of the temple was rushed, and no matter how exhausted the heart and mind were, it was inevitable that there would be omissions.If Saenz wants to attend next year's Fuzhaoen in the new temple, it will not be a big mistake to arrange the temple according to Grace's needs first.

Although there is nothing wrong with using your brains to take care of Grace, but like Li Chen, he directly puts all the designs required for the functions on the table and asks them one by one. , It really makes people feel like beating him up to relieve their anger.

Fortunately, as a Saenlich, Saenz's temper is really admirable.So facing Li Chen's embarrassingly detailed questions, Saenz just raised his eyebrows: "Are you so sure that I will go to your temple to participate in the blessing of blessing?"

Because among the people who can be regarded as the "controller" of the temple, Li Chen is the one who has taken the most trouble to build it, so Saenz often jokingly calls it "the temple of the black swan" and "the temple of Li Chen".

And because of the melting pot play "Tower and Swan", the temple was also called "Swan Tower", which is a later story.

When Li Chen heard Saenz's question, he smiled and didn't answer directly. He just said: "Since Wiggins has become the 'master' of the temple, he must not leave the temple easily in the first year. You have been Are you going to waste this great opportunity to officially introduce the temple and Wiggins?"

Saenz listened to his tongue-twisters, and asked, "'Meng', what's 'Jiao',... and 'Meng'?"

"Even if I can't live without you, you can't live without..." Li Chen paused, "Well, that means you take him with you wherever you go. How can you miss this opportunity to raise the flag high and blow the wind? "

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "I didn't bring you?"

The pure white color's secret activities have involved Li Chen many times.These activities are more secretive and more important, and only those who are more trustworthy—in Li Chen’s words, “intimate”—can appear.After careful calculation, when Li Chen was with Saenz, he was actually no less than Wiggins, and even became closer because of the continuous communication.It's just that most of the missions that Li Chen follows are not public, and the activities that Wiggins follows often make headlines wherever they go. This is why Wiggins has the illusion that Saenz is with him because of the exposure.

Li Chen was quite helpless about his boss's blind focus on the key points, so he had to follow the topic and tried to "set things right": "They all took me with them, but I didn't catch up with the grace last time, and I have been regretting it until now."

Saenz glanced at him: "When you watched the Furnace performance, you wanted to push Wiggins away, but now you want to follow Fu Zhaoen?"

"As long as I can see your figure in a dark corner, I am satisfied." Li Chen will not jump into Saenz's language trap, "Since the first time we met on Fuzhaoenyan, I have started I have been imagining for ten years what you will look like when you appear in the 'opening ceremony' of Fu Zhao Grace."

Saenz was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "It is indeed ten years."

Ten years ago, Li Chen and Saenz—including Wiggins—meeted for the first time at the Fuzhao Grace in Kensell Cathedral. From then on, the fate of Li Chen and Wiggins The trajectory changed drastically.Although Li Chen can be regarded as an "extremely rational" character to a certain extent, when he thinks back to the moment when he met, he occasionally has the idea of ​​"this is what the plot should be after time travel".

"Wiggins was by your side last time when Zhao Enyan was there, and I must have made up for this regret, but I am not." Although the ten-year topic is emotional, Li Chen is just using it as an introduction— —Sadness is really not his style—he raised his hands quite casually, "So, will you come?"

Li Chen's sentences are very dramatic, but his tone is relaxed and casual, as if he is scratching the itch with a cute feather, and there is only movement but no feeling.Saenz rolled his eyelids and sneered, "Is this how you invited me?"

Li Chen paused, and then realized that Saenz was implying that he agreed.Li Chen seldom refuses what the leader wants to see.With a frivolous expression on his face, he stretched out his hand to brush the design drawings marked with various functions, leaned forward and slightly raised his head, and looked at Saenz from a slightly upward angle, a bit like a black swan-like determined look: " Everything will be ready for you, my dear highness. You are welcome to the temple."

Li Chen and Xiao En are really busy.Even the three major events of Suoyang, the temple, and the Northland could only bring them to Tadan for less than ten days.Sean is worried about the operation of the Intelligence Headquarters. Given the mountain of news, Suoyang's news is likely to become "the straw that broke the camel's back"—at least according to Suoyang's current weight, it must be "one Little tree"—the witch had to go back to help.

Of course, she "shamelessly" kindly invited Li Chen to go with her before preparing for her return trip.It would be even better if Li Chen could "by the way" take a small tour to the intelligence center.

Li Chen was also preparing for his return trip, ignoring Xiao En's behavior.

But even though Sean was worried about his business, he didn't start off smoothly in the end.Just the day before her departure, the preliminarily sorted materials of the Southwest Garrison's special attack on Suoyang's unit were rushed to Saenz's garrison in Tadan.

Sean had to postpone the trip for a day, and continued to stay in Tadan, sitting around with two other big men to analyze the information.

The luck of the Southwest Garrison was really bad.Originally, their attitude towards this operation was "go quietly, return in a fair manner if you succeed, and continue to return quietly if you fail", but the special attack troops did stick to the news when they set off, and hardly blew a breath of wind. .The bad thing is that the assassination of the city lord was not a sudden success, but they were all hanged on the city wall.Now not only Suo Yang is showing off his power, but the spies from all walks of life are also happy to pick up the ready-made information. If there is no source of information, can they talk about pictures?

So everyone counted the heads on the city wall, and took this as the starting point, and it didn't take long to get an overview of the special attack troops.

Of course, not only the spies sent to Suoyang by various forces will look at the wall, but also the Southwest Garrison and the people of Rose Color.When they saw the situation, they naturally knew what would happen next, so they rushed to set up many difficulties in various news channels.All of a sudden, the intelligence departments of various organizations showed their abilities, and the offensive and defensive battle was very lively.

As for some forces that need to rely on external intelligence organizations, it is even more tormented.Of course, third-party intelligence organizations are also participating in this smoke-free war, and by the way, sit on the ground and raise prices.The parties who stick to the news and inquire about the news are still bidding, and it depends on who wins in the end.

Therefore, under the premise of such chaos, being able to get an overview of the troops in such a short period of time is already considered very good.

Because it was only preliminary information, Saenz did not ask the two "little padded jackets" to come up with any effective suggestions immediately.He left the two of them an extra day to discuss the information, more to clarify his thoughts through discussion.Unlike Fujalal, who relies on the game between the two forces to achieve balance, Saenz's performance in recent years has shown that he is taking the line of "I mainly attack, other forces assist, and don't intervene".Therefore, when Suo Yang came to this step, it was almost time for the Third Highness to clarify his course of action.Although this plan will probably not be very different from the color of sea blue and silver vermilion, whoever makes it clear first will be the pioneer and guide.Although Lan and Zhu are currently waiting in silence because of his "main attack" setting, if Saenz really thinks that they are waiting for instructions safely, he may miss the most appropriate time to make a move.

The two "little padded jackets" that Saenz pulled up with one hand only had a general idea of ​​Saenz's current situation, and they didn't dare to ask too much detail.Although they have more or less gloomy personalities, they know how to "advance and retreat with certainty".Even knowing that Saensi left them to discuss, there might not be anything useful to discuss, so he sat there obediently holding the information, racking his brains to study every sentence.

Li Chen carefully looked at everyone's information, some of them were more detailed, some were just a few words, but the common point was that Li Chen basically didn't know each other.The southwest garrison is really not a place where the "black swan" can reach out, even the witch Xiao En can smear her eyes, let alone Li Chen.

However, Li Chen patiently read it word by line, and finally saw a familiar name near the end.

...Hard?

The other two are still reading the materials and discussing some of them that need to be investigated.Li Chen turned back and forth, confirmed that there was no more news that he wanted to see, and finally asked during the conversation between the two: "This 'Hade'...maybe I have a direction."

Harder did not participate in the assassination of the city lord, nor was he hung on the wall, but was just followed by other people's clues by the intelligence department.His personal information is still scarce, let alone the information of other members of the team he leads.

"'Hard'?" Sean flipped back and found this person, "'Pesa's military-funded project implementation target'... you know?"

Saenz also remembered it. After all, at that time, the child took his colleagues to practice in the morning, and even rejected his suggestion to let them join the noble dial: "It's not just acquaintance."

Li Chen smiled: "We've known each other for a while, but the friendship has passed for many years. Speaking of which, I'm still a 'deserter', aren't I?"

Sean stopped playing around with him: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"I'll write down the direction I know for you later." Li Chen thought for a while, then turned to Saenz, "Then about Harder's information, I want to apply to show it to another person."

Saenz flipped through the documents slowly: "Huh?"

Li Chen smiled: "To Noah."

Saenz is not surprised: "It seems that you are on the line again."

Sean was taken aback for a moment, she remembered the members of the foursome when Li Chen was still Regsella: "Do you know each other?"

"Your Highness deliberately put him next to Wiggins. He is so close. Would he still be ignorant? Oh, except for the dull 'Master of the Temple'." Li Chen not only confirmed Saenz's guess, but also said a word. After taking Xiao En's question, he continued to smile at Saenz, "Can you agree with me, Your Highness?"

Saenz was noncommittal: "Is he completely credible now?"

"No." Li Chen also answered simply, "So in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Your Highness will lend me someone to be loyal to him?"

Xiao En heard this line of thinking, as if Saenz had already allocated people to Wiggins and Li Chen to play with, and he didn't seem to care about the specific effects of that person, so he said strangely: "You can't do it with him, can you?" ?”

Li Chen blinked: "...I'm afraid I won't be able to drag it on."

Sean felt that even if Noah's magical talent was higher than that of Lichen, it would not be so high that it would shake the loyalty contract.As soon as she figured this out, she immediately realized that Li Chen was confessing in a disguised form that he was still burdened with other people's contracts.

Saenz knew about these "others", so he sneered indistinctly: "So just drag some deposed guys?"

Li Chen choked.No, Akeye, Fudexi, and Xia Luo were all abolished.If there is Hader in the future, then we can make a table of useless mahjong.

He couldn't say anything to refute, so he had to put on a shameless look of "Indeed, so what should we do?"

Saenz was dazzled by his deliberately disgusting appearance, and said helplessly, "You can handle it yourself."

Li Chen still said the same thing: "I'm afraid I won't be able to delay..."

Saenz glanced at him coldly: "Wouldn't it be attached to my contract!"

There is a method of concluding a progressive relationship in the loyalty contract.Take the current example, that is, when Li Chen accepted Noah's loyalty, he linked the relevant contract with Saenz's contract, so that Saenz became the superior of Noah's superior in the loyalty contract.Once Noah rebels against the loyalty contract, Saenz can assist Li Chen to suppress it.

It sounds easy to increase the burden on the superior's superior, but the link between the contract and the contract requires the consent of all contracting parties.Especially for a person of Saenz's level, if he himself is not willing to link the contract, then he really can't touch it.

As soon as Li Chen heard "the boss covers people", he immediately accepted it: "yes."

After accepting Noah, someone will be able to accept the loyalty of the four overseers of the temple.Li Chen opened up the whole road at once, and immediately felt refreshed.

As for Sean, she has been able to calmly be an outsider to this "scene of grace".
