Chapter 30: The Cold War between the Dynasty and the Government
Minister Zhou looked around and said: "I heard that all the demons in the demon circle have hidden their whereabouts. This shows that your actions have frightened the demons. This is a good phenomenon and maintains the safety of the imperial capital... Is it possible to do so again?
Find traces of monsters and give them an extermination blow?"
Long Yekuang frowned and said: "Monsters are always cunning. They change their identities or hide somewhere. We have no way to find them for the time being."
Minister Zhou nodded and said: "Monsters have evolved for many years and have come into contact with humans. They are no different from humans. It is too difficult to peel off their skin..."
At this point, he looked at Bai Qiandao and said: "I heard that you are a spiritual power user, you must have entered the spiritual realm! I am very curious, how did you kill more than a dozen monsters in a row?"
Bai Qiandao was about to respond when Long Yekuang said quietly: "This is related to the secrets of the Spirit Shield Bureau."
Minister Zhou smiled slightly and said: "The Spirit Shield Bureau is a special department and has strict confidentiality measures, which I respect very much... From your actions this time, we can know that the demon problem in the Imperial City is serious and must be taken seriously. Your Excellency, the Star Governor, sent me to
Come, set up a team that specializes in dealing with demons. I will be the team leader, Gao Xinyi will be the deputy team leader, Zheng Naijin will be responsible for coordinating logistics and information processing, and Long Yekuang and Tu Cangqing will be the execution team. I have already dispatched a team.
The elite team assists in the execution..."
At this point, Minister Zhou looked at Bai Qiandao and said: "You are not a member of the government department. I have specially hired you as a consultant to participate in the execution of the action of hunting down monsters..."
"I'm sorry, it was Miss Mai who asked me to help cooperate..."
Minister Zhou laughed, interrupted him, and said, "I have consulted Mai Tianxue on this point, and she has no opinion, but she said that this requires your personal consent."
Bai Qiandao looked at the stern-faced Long Yekuang, pondered, and asked, "How much can you give me as a special consultant?"
"This requires government approval, but I can reveal something first. The minimum guarantee is 10 million Five Elements coins a year."
Bai Qiandao was delighted, ten million, so much...
Then I thought about it, no, there are still system tasks, I can't be this special consultant!
With a thousand thoughts, I sighed from the bottom of my heart and said, "I'm sorry, I don't accept it."
At a glance, a hint of joy appeared on Long Yekuang's face, and both Gao Xinyi and Zheng Naijin looked at him in surprise.
Minister Zhou's eyes were deep and he asked: "Can you tell me the reason?"
"This... I can't stand restraint. I don't like limitations and special consultants. I can't do it... Can it be like this? I am not bound by you and can leave at any time to help you deal with monsters. Every time I kill a monster,
Give me a certain amount of money?" Bai Qiandao asked hopefully.
"So special..." Minister Zhou frowned and was about to say more.
Long Yekuang suddenly said: "No, how can we make it special? Otherwise, you will be specially hired as a consultant, or you will be an outsider."
"Little devil, there is a limit to making things difficult for others, right? You don't have the right to speak here!" Bai Qiandao said angrily when he saw her cutting off his financial resources.
"Am I trying to make things difficult for you? You don't have much ability yourself, and you have to rely on the help of me and Tu Cangqing to kill the demon. Don't you know that?"
Bai Qiandao was stunned. He actually saw Long Yekuang winking at him. What did she mean?
The space was silent for two seconds. Minister Zhou looked deeply and said: "Director Long, you are exaggerating. As far as I know, Bai Qiandao has special abilities and can find out the secrets of demons. We also need him... Let's do it! Bai
Qiandao, I can make the decision. As long as you can hunt and kill a demon, I will give you five hundred thousand, and it will not restrict your freedom. You can withdraw or refuse at any time."
Bai Qiandao was still in a daze. He felt a flash of disappointment in Long Yechuan's eyes. He really couldn't understand what was going on?
"Bai Qiandao, what are your intentions?" Minister Zhou asked again.
Bai Qiandao hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Minister Zhou said with a smile: "From now on, this group is officially established. It is currently mainly engaged in the task of detecting the demon circle organization. I named it 'Breaking Circle'."
"Director Zhou, I want to emphasize that the circle-breaking team cannot affect the mission of the Spirit Shield Bureau. If there is a conflict, the Tu Cangqing team should give priority to completing the mission of the Spirit Shield Bureau." Long Yekuang said coldly.
"No, the task of breaking the circle is the most important now, and...Spirit Shield Bureau needs to share all information about the demon." Minister Zhou stared at her and said seriously.
"Impossible. If this is the case, I will propose to the director to withdraw from the circle-breaking team." Long Yexuan's voice was cold.
"The Spiritual Shield Bureau also serves the imperial government. This is an order personally issued by His Excellency the Star Governor and must not be disobeyed." Minister Zhou's voice was also somewhat cold.
Long Yekuang hesitated and said, "I stick to my opinion."
Minister Zhou's eyes became even colder and he said: "Director Long, the evil problem is very serious now. You must put the overall situation first. You are not allowed to play... your temper. We are all responsible for hundreds of millions of people."
Long Yekuan sneered and said: "Without this breaking circle, the Spirit Shield Bureau can still do well. I think some people can't bear it anymore!"
Minister Zhou had an angry look on his face and said: "Director Long, please don't keep your words secret and say anything openly."
"Okay, let me ask you..." Long Yekuang stood up and said: "There are demons in every city. The number has never been known. Everyone knows that it is serious. Why does the government set up an inexplicable evil now?
The team? Soul Shield is very special, and everyone knows that confidential files about demons are never made public. Why do you want to use this reason to know? The Prosecution Department has always only had a cooperative relationship with Soul Shield, why should it be higher now?
Wait, are you in charge of this group?"
Minister Zhou said with a gloomy expression: "I have only one sentence. This is the decision of the cabinet. The order issued by His Excellency the Star Governor is the decision of the government."
Long Yekuang sneered: "The government...don't forget, it should be called the government of the Tuzang Dynasty. The Tuzang Dynasty is at the front, and everything must abide by the will of the royal family."
"Can't we negate the will of the government just because of your opposition?" Minister Zhou also sneered.
Bai Qiandao was suddenly shocked and understood. It turned out that this was a secret fight between the royal family and the government. From this point of view, the two sides were in a tit-for-tat posture. He also saw that the Spiritual Shield Bureau was controlled by the royal family, and the government's people
Just trying to regain control, this circle-breaking team to deal with demons is actually just a fake name.
"The royal family respects the government's decision-making, but it depends on the situation. Under no circumstances can the secrets of the Spirit Shield Bureau be divulged at will." Long Yekuang sat down slowly, assuming the posture of a big horse with a golden sword.
Minister Zhou was silent, and the space was also silent. Gao Xinyi rolled his eyes and wanted to say something, but held back. Zheng Naijin looked nervous and did not dare to speak.
"I will convey your opinions back, so that's it for today!" Minister Zhou stood up and walked out coldly. Gao Xinyi and Zheng Naijin quickly got up and saw each other off.
Bai Qiandao looked at Long Yekuang who didn't even glance at him. He didn't say anything, and he didn't get up to say goodbye. He would not flatter him.
When Gao Xinyi came back, Long Yekuang also stood up and said, "Vice Minister Gao, I'm leaving first too."
Gao Xinyi nodded, Long Yekuang looked at Bai Qiandao and said, "Let's go! I have something to say to you!"
Are you left to face the malicious Gao Xinyi and his henchman Zheng Naijin?
Bai Qiandao did not refuse, stood up and followed her away. He felt that the eyes behind him were a bit piercing. These two people were really unfriendly to him!
"You shouldn't have agreed to be a special consultant." In the parking lot on the rooftop, Long Yekuang turned around and said.
"I want to make money to support my family. I will be my consultant and will not get involved in your affairs." Bai Qiandao said.
"I will give you 50 million per year to help me with work?" Long Yekuang stared at him and asked.
Bai Qiandao's heart was beating wildly. Fifty million was five times more than the ten million given by Mai Shouye. It was enough for him for ten lifetimes. Of course, he used it frugally.
"No...that, don't restrict my freedom, I can help you."
"You...I really don't understand you. Didn't you still work three jobs a day before? Now that you have the opportunity to make a lot of money, you don't want to be controlled. Why?" Long Yekuang asked angrily.
"No reason, I figured it out, the price of freedom is higher!" Bai Qiandao worried, if it weren't for the system, I would definitely accept it with a smile on my face, the price of freedom is higher, and being without money is the most miserable.
"How about I give you a certain amount of freedom, but if you have something important, you have to come out and do things for me?" Long Yekuang relaxed the limit.
"No... I don't want to get involved in the secret fight between the royal family and the government." Bai Qiandao actually doesn't care too much. He will work hard for whoever gives him more money. Tens of millions is really tempting, and now he only has
I reluctantly used this as an excuse.
"Mai Tianxue told you?" Long Yekuang was not too surprised. Rich people like Mai Tianxue were aware of the secret struggle between the royal family and the government.
"Yes! You are the princess of the dynasty, right? How many princesses and princes are there?" Bai Qiandao asked curiously.
"I am a little princess. I won't tell you anything else unless you promise to help me."
"Tch, I just want to know, no matter how noble you are, you are still a little devil!"
"you……"
"What are you doing? Let's go. Don't come to me if it's not about killing monsters." Bai Qiandao shook his head in a characteristic manner and walked away.
Regardless of the system's mission of being domineering, he needed to be domineering at any time, and he felt refreshed by treating Long Yexui like this.
Long Yekuang's angry face turned even whiter. He watched the speeding car take off, stopped for a while, smiled again, and said to himself: "How can a foreign master be so easily controlled by others? As long as you don't help the government, I can tolerate your treatment of me."
rude."
In the evening, Bai Qiandao had dinner with Mai Tianxue and told her what happened today.
Mai Tianxue frowned and said that the Spirit Shield Bureau was controlled by the royal family, and the government would definitely not be willing to accept it. This intelligence department was too important. It could be said that it was the government's eyes and ears and could not be missed.
From this point of view, the power of the royal family has already gained the upper hand. If it controls the army again, the reformed government will inevitably become a dust of history, and the Tuzang Dynasty will re-establish itself in the Five Elements Alliance.
