Realm of Power

In the streets surrounded by high-rise buildings, the hustle and bustle of the city still continues, the brilliant lights extend in the long streets that can’t be seen, and the traffic flow is still dense.

There were only slightly fewer pedestrians on the roadside than during the day. The police car was parked on the roadside. Two policemen were holding coffee and standing by the telephone pole chatting. The white steam from the coffee mixed with the heat of talking and breathing. At some point, both of them subconsciously stopped and looked up at the night sky in the street surrounded by high-rise buildings.

Tonight, there is no snow in the weather forecast. For this important event, the entire Mingyue family has tightened their nerves. The weather forecast for the three days before and after has been sent to the top management of the Mingyue family.

But at this moment, above the heads of the young men of the Yelu family, pieces of goose feather snowflakes fell from the sky.

Snowflake crystals give off a sharp feeling of fragmentation

There was a sound of fine sand rubbing in the air,

What's even more weird is that there is a cold bright moon hanging in the sky

"There was a problem with the report at location three. The snowflakes blurred our vision and we couldn't clearly see the situation at the entrance of the building."

"No. 5, can you see the main entrance of the building clearly?"

"It's just as blurry. The snowflakes seem to have disturbing magnetism. The compass on my body is spinning crazily."

Voices full of exclamations came from the earphones worn by Mingyue Linglong. In order to ensure the safety today, Mingyue's family mobilized a lot of manpower, and eyeliners were placed in the surrounding buildings.

Sitting in the car, Mingyue Linglong's pretty face was livid, and she seemed to have thought of something. She did not expect that this person's Frost Skill had reached such a level. Could this be the peak of martial arts strength. . . . . . Mingyue Linglong was shocked in her heart. The young man from the Yelu family who looked up at the upper floors of the building was named Yelu Hong.

At the age of only twenty-one, he squeezed into the Presbyterian Church at the core of the Yelu family. His reputation is not outstanding outside, but within the core of the major families, he is labeled as an important person. Yeluhong is the pinnacle of the Yelu family's martial arts and is the leader of all families. A person who asks his children to avoid him, because there are rumors that this person may not be the age shown.

Although he is not as powerful as Ming Yue Weiyang who swept the world with one man and one sword thirty years ago, he sneaked into the headquarters of the notorious Monteil regiment, the fifth-ranked mercenary organization in the world, by one person, and finally killed the regiment leader Monteil, and also caused Thirty-seven people in the Monteil Regiment died, and rumors from outside even began to call Yeluhong the second Mingyue Weiyang.

"Yelu Hong has been banned by the family since the last time he attacked and killed the traitor Montel of the Yelu family. He has not shown up for two years, and he is here this time." The old man sitting opposite saw the shock in Ming Ye Linglong's heart and comforted him.

"The pinnacle of martial arts can reach the point where internal force can take shape. The Yelu family's Frost Art is said to have come from a generation of emperors in the empire. It has always been one of the most powerful techniques.

But even so, it is not something that a person in his twenties can achieve, even if he is a martial arts genius. In fact, the information about Yeluhong has always been vague.

Yeluhong seems to have appeared suddenly in the past few years. His origin and parents are both a mystery.

"Grandpa, what you mean is that Yeluhong is just a pseudonym?" Mingyue Linglong looked stunned.

"You should have read the report on Robbensam Island. There are still too many secrets in this world that we cannot understand." The old man snorted with a heavy nose.

"However, the Yelu family borrowed the territory of the Mingyue family this time, and the list of people who came to negotiate naturally informed the Mingyue family. Although the Yelu family can be said to be the master of the sky in northern Zhongbia, there is no need to hide just one Yeluhong. I deliberately concealed Yeluhong's arrival this time. It may not be aimed at my Mingyue family.

Except for a few families in Zhongbia, most forces only know the name Yeluhong, but do not know him. Yeluhong should be the real trump card of the Yelu family this time.

The Yelu family is not as arrogant as the outside world thinks. In fact, they attach great importance to this secret agreement that has lasted for three hundred years. The emperor of the empire was the benefactor of the Yelu family at the beginning. No one can understand the military god of the generation. layout,

In other words, no one would have thought that the arrangements of that emperor were the main cause of the collapse of the empire he forged."

The old man's eyes flashed, thinking of the turmoil of the year, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It was that contract that gave the commercial power the possibility to break away from the royal power. The empire collapsed, and all parties sat back and watched the changes. These forces also controlled considerable military power. The result is that out of the more than four million imperial troops, three million imperial troops chose to wait and see in silence.

Otherwise, under the suppression of the imperial army, even if the merchant power can win in the end, it must be the result of decades of brutal war. In fact, the collapse of the empire is more like a reorganization of interests, except that the power of the imperial royal family is greatly weakened and they are driven back. On the Ikadiva Peninsula, the power of other major families has hardly suffered losses. Instead, because the empire's control has disappeared and commercial trade has flourished, the current situation of multiple parties coexisting."

"Is His Majesty the Emperor still dreaming of coming back to take back his empire? What a joke! In three hundred years, all the bones will turn to dirt!"

Mingyue Linglong's playful lips curled up in disdain. For their generation, this was more like a fairy tale. Changes suddenly occurred in the Southwest Long family! Then the Mingyue family chose to comply, and the Song family in the south also chose to hand over their share. Thinking that there was almost no resistance in southern China, I couldn't help but feel a little bit useless in my heart. They were not as good as the Yelu family in the north, although the position of the northern leader of the Yelu family was incorrect. , but in terms of its tough attitude on this matter, it is indeed a street in southern China.

Now the whole world's attention is focused on this place. The Yelu family held a high-profile banquet, which can be said to have earned a lot of face. Mingyue Linglong's tone was obviously dissatisfied.

The old man sighed and said, "No one cares about the three-hundred-year-old secret agreement. They all thought that the empire no longer existed. But when someone actually came to the door with a token, everyone suddenly discovered that this secret agreement is still their foundation. Who do you think the Yelü family in the north is? What a good thing? "The old man glanced at the Yelu family who entered the building and was very unconcerned. As the former guardian of the Mingyue family and an elder of the Mingyue family, he was far away from the background of this banquet. Much clearer than the bright moon,

The old man smiled and said, "This is a test. It seems to be just a Yelu family. In fact, I don't know how many forces are watching behind me. In the eyes of juniors like you, the Yelu family is just a big dog family in the north. They act simply and rudely, and use their fists." Bigger than brain, but in our area In the eyes of their elders, the Yelu family’s evaluation is exactly the opposite. They may seem rough, but in fact they are as meticulous as hair. In terms of the power of their layout, they are truly scheming. Our generation all came out of the bloody storm of the empire’s collapse thirty years ago. We are not familiar with the collapse of the empire at that time. He also knows the true inside story, "

"The empire collapsed?" Mingyue Linglong's eyes were bright. There were various theories about the turmoil at the end of the empire, but they mainly tended to be tyrannical. However, the empire had been tyrannical for three hundred years. Why did it only break out thirty years ago? The younger generation No one thinks about this. The Age of Empire has been many years in the past for them.

"The collapse of the empire had nothing to do with the Yelu family, which caused the collapse of the empire. The Yelu family was also fueling the flames. But if you think that the Yelu family is really trying to fight against the tyranny of the empire, you are totally wrong!"

"Isn't it?"

"If the empire is really tyrannical, we will not let the imperial royal family retreat safely to Ikadiva." The old man laughed and said, how much can be believed in the things in the history books? In fact, the imperial royal family did not This cannot be regarded as the final stage of collapse. Millions of imperial troops are still in the hands of the royal family.

Although the financial crisis made the empire increasingly difficult, it was not enough to bring the empire to its demise. The imperial royal family took advantage of the Imperial Bank incident to vigorously rectify the major forces in southern China. The Southwest Long Family, Mingyue Family, and the Southern Song Clan had some resistance, but in the Under the pressure of the empire's 300,000 troops, they had to choose to surrender.

During this reorganization, the imperial royal family received a total of 33 million from the empire. This fund not only temporarily eased the empire's finances, but was also enough to allow the empire to completely relocate the rebel professional household Feishan area and completely eradicate this decades-old rebellion. Years of scars, as long as the empire can survive it, it may not be impossible to revive the empire.

But it's a pity that no one expected that this huge amount of money would be intercepted on the way back to the empire.

When the old man said this, his eyes flashed with coldness. After so long, the old man still remembered how shocked he was when he heard the news.

"Who would have thought that the people who cut off the beauties are the Yelu family! They have been regarded as iron-clad allies by the imperial royal family for more than two hundred years. Among the eleven queens in the history of the empire, four of the legitimate queens of the empire were from Central Asia. The Yelu family is also an important support for the empire to control the Central Biya region.

No one would have thought that the Yelu family would betray the empire."

"But it just so happened that the one who suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Empire's regional army in the name of the Empire's tyranny was the Yelu family, a die-hard ally."

"The 600,000 Yelv family troops intensively crossed the river and marched southward, marching into the undefended area behind the imperial army. Not only did they intercept all the more than 30 million that were about to be transported back to the empire, they also intercepted the unprepared 300,000 The elite of the imperial army was trapped in the southwest. After being trapped for seventeen days with their retreat cut off, Kang Aidis, the first-level imperial general in charge of commanding 300,000 imperial troops, had to agree to the Yelu family's request, and the imperial troops withdrew from Zhongbi. Ya, the imperial royal family recognized the Yelu family's departure from the empire's control.

Subsequently, the Southwest Long Family, Southern Song Family and Mingyue Family took the opportunity to declare independence from the empire, and other forces in the empire took the opportunity to declare independence from the empire.

"Do you think this is over?"

As one of the senior members of the Mingyue family, the old man's tone was disdainful, and the words he spoke made Mingyue Linglong's scalp feel numb!

The empire withdrew its troops, but the Yelv family army had no intention of withdrawing. Was the Yelv family army going south really just targeting the empire? Wrong, the real reason why the Yelu family went south was actually to target the three major forces in southern China and Biya. The three major families subsequently announced their separation from the empire. This is not so much a revenge for the empire's oppression, but rather a response to the Yelu family's 600,000-strong army. Under the watchful eyes of the Yelu family, they could only choose to stand on the same front as the Yelu family. As a result, the empire lost control of the Central Biya region, which directly led to other regions following suit.

Interests are never simple. As a senior member of the Mingyue family who experienced that era, the old man naturally knows how many scheming old foxes in the Chen Mansion pushed things forward in the dark. Even if he can't guess the real purpose of these people behind the scenes and why they did it, that era is like a sky covered with dark clouds. Everyone knows that a rainstorm will eventually fall. The power of merchants has reached the level of competing with the royal family. The huge interest network of the Imperial Bank even exceeds the control of the Imperial Royal Family itself. The interests of the Imperial Bank and the interests of the royal family are increasingly entangled, and the contradictions are It is only a matter of time before the shield breaks out.

Just like in history and now, whether it is the imperial system or the democratic system, power and wealth are ultimately in the hands of a few people. Merchants are no longer satisfied with wealth, but need power, so they try to rely on the Imperial Bank to seize power. The empire on the surface no longer exists, but the real empire has always been there, but it has changed from military control to capital control. Ordinary people will never know that behind those generals, ministers, and congressmen who are unattainable in their eyes, there are actually invisible lines that are involved and control their every move.

This line finally converges on the Imperial Bank

And the real composition of the Imperial Bank is actually the more than 200 imperial families connected by the secret agreement

"Yelü Hong wants to show such an attitude, is this a warning!"

Ming Yueling narrowed her eyes slightly, and a thought flashed through her mind, making her scalp tingle. Those who know the secret agreement know how much power is involved in the secret agreement, just like what is happening in front of her, "..... As long as someone enters the area outside the one kilometer range here, they will be topped by countless sights. Some have even entered a position where they may attack at any time under the cover of darkness, waiting quietly. It is not just the Yelu family who wants to test the other party, but the Yelu family's banquet is undoubtedly the best opportunity

"If the other party is really killed, it will naturally be counted on the Yelu family. Even if the Yelu family wants to defend themselves, it is useless. This is why the Yelu family will never allow it. . . . . . . "

Mingyue Linglong licked her cracked lips and felt that she began to not understand the situation in front of her.

The existence of the secret agreement is enough to control the whole world. Who wouldn't be tempted? No one would take risks. It would be fake. No one wants such people to appear. Just like these family members who got off the car, since they appeared at this party, they already represented the opinions of the families behind them.

No matter what they do or say, those old guys behind them can easily get enough information from this party.

At this time, the Yelu family seemed to express disdain to the other party, but in fact, the Yelu family took the posture of a protector.

Yelu Hong showed his strength to the major families and isolated Mingyue Building from prying eyes.

What the Yelu family did was completely opposite to what the outside world imagined. Mingyue Linglong had to wonder, what role did the Yelu family play this time?
