Chapter 259: That person suppressed two eras (Thanks to the leader of the 'Nine-Storey Pagoda')
Ji Xun stood quietly in front of the window sill,
falling into an indescribable feeling state of enlightenment.
I was completely unaware that an invisible aura was gradually surrounding my body.
He felt as if a long, long time had passed,
It seemed like only a moment had passed.
After thinking about it, Ji Xun put down the letter in his hand, and then took out the letter with the [Time and Space Stamp] affixed.
The stamps have faded and are completely dull.
Ji Xun knew that the stamp had allowed him to travel through time before, and the "power of time" it contained had been exhausted.
After looking at it for a long time, I sighed slightly.
Gone after all.
I don’t know how many years it will take for the stamps to be restored.
Ji Xun stood up from his chair and carefully collected all the hundreds of letters.
There is also a box under the bookshelf, which was also left for Song Yu.
Ji Xun opened it and took a look.
There is a "sealed secret box" and a ring inside.
This secret box is the mithril mine that went to Bolton Town, which was left behind by the ancestors of the Bai family.
Once a contract is concluded, no one else can use it.
The ring is the [God Thief’s Ring] that Ji Xun failed to take away a hundred years ago.
Song Yu has always kept the two items well.
Now, it was finally handed back to Ji Xun.
“Hey”
Ji Xun looked at the two items and sighed again.
These two items carry the memory of his adventure with that silly girl.
It’s still the same two things.
But the person is no longer there.
Ji Xun picked up the ring and put it on his finger.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the brightly lit Innocence City outside the window.
The previous expressionless face was still reflected on the glass.
Ji Xun looked at his face, feeling so strange for the first time.
He had seen many sad faces in the circus. As a clown, he would always come up with tricks to make people happy.
Looking at this unhappy face, it seemed that he was suffering from an occupational disease. He grinned and wanted to make a face to make him happy.
But the face in the mirror looks sad no matter what.
The corners of the raised mouth drooped, and his face became expressionless again, and his eyes were deep and dim.
Unwilling to give in, he used his index fingers to raise high arcs on both sides of his mouth, forcing a smile.
The smiling face seemed to be frozen there, not drooping.
But for the first time, he felt that his smile was so exaggerated and so hypocritical.
Smiling and laughing, Ji Xun murmured to himself: "So, is this sadness?"
In the past, it was difficult for Ji Xun to feel happiness, so he pursued excitement and sensory pleasure;
But what was more difficult for him was to feel sadness.
He can perform various emotions perfectly, but there is no wave inside.
This was the first time that he felt the grief as if his heart had been hollowed out.
But as soon as this low mood came up, I seemed to hear the girl speaking softly again: "Mr. Ji Xun, you have to be good~"
Listen to this As he spoke, the person in the mirror unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As soon as he thought about it, Ji Xun took out the black and white photo of the two of them together and looked at it.
Looking at that pretty face with a beautiful smile, he smiled slightly: "Miss Yu, did you feel the same way in those years?"
It turns out that some people can really rely on some good memories to make them feel very happy. Happy.
Ji Xun caressed the photo and put a smile on his face again.
When people are concerned, it seems that they begin to realize the meaning of life.
After packing everything, he walked towards the door.
Honglou is very lively.
The opening ceremony is still going on.
Another classic stage play of the Royal Song and Dance Ensemble has begun.
The excitement is not limited to those watching the show.
There are also those who really "watch the show".
Just when Ji Xun was reading those letters in his room, he was completely unaware that an undercurrent was already surging throughout the Innocence City.
As for Hong Tower, which is the center of the storm, ordinary people have no idea that under the lively appearance, the fuse of the explosive barrel has been ignited.
In a private room on the fourth floor of Hong Building.
A few mysterious people are tinkering with a spell formation.
As long as there are outsiders here, looking at the shadows of the "Immortal Family" emerging behind them, they can immediately guess that they are members of the Bai family, the god thief.
The green smoke lingered in the spell formation, forming the shadow of a fox.
Suddenly, the fox opened his eyes.
The leader, the elder Bai, looked happy.
"The death of the old man has been confirmed, take action!"
"Those guys are still staring at who is the new helmsman of the Song family, but they don't know that as long as they grab the body of the old man and his wife, everything in the Song family will be destroyed. It’s ours.”
"This operation must be successful! No matter who blocks it, shoot and kill!"
"Yes."
"."
With that said, several people disappeared from the room instantly.
And it was not just the Bai family who were staring at Hong Lou.
In the major private rooms and the performance hall, people from all the powerful families in the federation who are qualified to be called first-class families came in person.
At this moment, the gambling stall on the second floor.
A gentleman and steady middle-aged man is watching a fierce boxing match in a luxurious private room.
Ordinary people do not know this middle-aged man who rarely appears, but as long as he is in the political arena Everyone is a stranger.
This is Robert Morton, the contemporary head of the Morton family, one of the five major federal congressmen!
One of the handful of people who stand at the pinnacle of federal power.
At this time, a young man suddenly broke in.
He said excitedly: "Father, the information has come, Congressman Keen seems to want to take action!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn't care about the Congressman at all. .
His eyes suddenly stagnated while watching the game, as if he thought of something, and muttered to himself in a daze: "Is that one gone?"
The young man saw his father distracted, waited for a moment, and reminded: "Father? Congressman Keen's side."
Robert's thoughts seemed to have returned to reality.
His tone was flat but could not hide his contempt, and he responded: "Oh, that guy Keane is very ambitious. I'm afraid he doesn't have such a big life to support his ambition. Don't worry about him."
The young man was a little anxious about his father's attitude: "But Senator Keane is the most popular new member of the House of Representatives. Recently, he has united with a group of people to start a new banking industry, which is very popular. And they secretly We have united some direct relatives of the God Thief Bai family and the Song family. If we really want him to take over the resources in the hands of the Song family, it will be too late for us to take action."
"Get it?"
Robbitt seemed to have heard a joke and shook his head disapprovingly: "Do you really think 'that one' would know about the little trick that the second son of the Song family and Keen secretly played? It's okay that the other one is fine. She is holding him down. No one dares to move, and the situation is calm. Now that he has passed away, these guys jumping up and down have appeared, but they are about to be dealt with. "
The young man looked puzzled when he heard this. : "Huh?"
He knew that his father's judgment had always been foresight, and the facts would eventually prove to be right.
But that’s why.
I was puzzled.
Robert brought his son here because he wanted the heir to the family to truly experience this big change at the top.
He did not hide his views, but his tone was not polite: "There are always new idiots who feel that they have a little power and want to break the division of interests of the original classes. Haha, since they want to die, let them Let's give it a try. That person hasn't appeared much in the past two decades, which makes people think that she has little influence. If it had been earlier, let alone a new member of the Senate. When old men see her, they all call her "Miss Song" politely. Haha, do you really think that the Song family only has the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce? How can you young people know how powerful Grandpa You is? Only my generation has experienced it clearly.”
The young man didn’t understand what he was saying.
He did not doubt his father's judgment, but he was even more confused: "Father, who is really so powerful? But"
He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but he clearly didn't seem to listen. Tell me how awesome it is.
Robert sighed and narrowed his eyes slightly: "That is a respectable elder and pioneer."
The young man frowned and became serious instantly.
It was also hard for the young man to believe that his father, who he regarded as such a majestic and far-sighted man, mentioned "that one".
He actually used honorifics?
Robert did not say directly, but asked: "Didn't you see that there is an old newspaper hanging in your grandfather's study?"
The young man didn't know why: "Yeah."
Robert smiled and said: "What is written in the most eye-catching position in the newspaper?"
Of course the young man has a deep memory, and everyone in the Morton family knows it. : "When money stands up, all truth must kneel down."
"Yes!"
Even Robert still remembers that sentence, saying: "This sentence in the newspaper at that time The sharp comment of the current affairs critic is the "that one". The vision, skill and courage of that person back then are completely a true portrayal of this sentence. Although she is a prostitute, she can overwhelm your grandfather and the others. Those old gentlemen are powerful opponents who can’t even lift their heads.”
When the young man heard this, he immediately became interested.
After pondering for a moment, Robert said in a recalling tone: "Sixty years ago, when all the nobles and congressmen in the Federation were still calculating the wealth of their own territories, she was already unknown to everyone. Unknowingly, she has taken control of the economic lifeline of the Federation. But what is even more clever is that she can secretly earn countless times of benefits, but she has allotted these benefits, including the seat of the Federal Bank’s money printing power, in vain.”
He couldn't hide his emotion in his tone, and the memories came flooding back.
Only those who have personally experienced that era can know how outrageous that Miss Song family was.
It also makes people admire from the bottom of their hearts.
Robert continued: "I didn't understand it before. Your grandfather told me about this skill. What she wants is a win-win situation. As long as the entire federation becomes rich and circulates, she will become richer. This conceptual pattern Gao, many people don't understand it until now, but you know, when the original layout was nearly a hundred years ago, the lords at that time only thought about being the emperor, which was the most important way to make money. , that is, mining and hunting, or just exploiting the people of their own territories to earn the little money they are still complacent about. And that person has already laid out the financial field of the entire federation, including currency issuance, stocks, and futures. , public opinion, resource monopoly."
Young man: "Is this so powerful?"
"No."
Robert shook his head.
His eyes were gleaming, and he added: "It's only more powerful than what I said."
After a pause, the old gentleman sighed again: "And to a large extent, it is precisely because of her layout that the Federation is now prosperous. So we and your grandfather's generation have a certain affection for her. That is to say, she seems not to be interested in money games in recent years, and she has not shown up much to deal with it. Otherwise, just in terms of financial means, even the five major congressmen together are no match for her. "
“Huh?”
Hearing this, the young man was extremely shocked.
At the same time, his eyes were full of energy.
He has never heard such high praise for a person from his father!
This age group always has an inexplicable admiration for powerful figures.
Listening to these legendary experiences, the young man wondered: "But father, why haven't you heard of such a powerful person? At least he is not that famous."
Robert smiled and asked his son: "Do you want to say celebrity biographies? Or newspapers, textbooks? Or some 'rich list' created by boring reporters?"
"This"
Youth, of course, refers to this.
But his father saw through it and didn't dare to answer.
Otherwise, people will always feel a sense of ignorance and frustration.
Robert asked and answered himself, and said meaningfully: "Because... all the mainstream newspaper groups in the federation now have the shadow of the Song family." "Huh?"
< br>When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up.
I understood instantly.
Public opinion is controlled!
You can see the whole body at a glance, so clever!
How did that person do it?
Speaking of this, Robert's eyes also concealed depth, and he continued: "Moreover, when we reach the height of our family, we need to see more. Money is only part of it. The invisible things are paved. Connections are really powerful. Great interests must tie up power and force. How many connections do you think she has built during her more than a hundred years of life? On the contrary, the arrogant fools in the Song family who are greedy for pleasure have no idea about her own family. That old grandmother is so powerful. I really thought that if she didn’t take care of things on the table these years, the knife wouldn’t be sharp anymore.”
As he spoke, he looked at his son, whose eyes were shining, and taught: "I didn't tell you before because you were too young to understand the hidden murderous intent of this level of gaming. It requires extremely high vision and insight to see through those layouts. . I am also afraid that you feel that there is an unreachable mountain. Now that she has passed away, many people dare to breathe a sigh of relief. "How could I not admire her so much back then? It's so dazzling that you can't look straight at it.
Only those who truly know the inside story will feel that her plans are completely out of this backward era and are so high that they are unattainable.
That person came out of nowhere and overwhelmed everyone in the Federation in the financial field for two whole eras!
Robert thought of those years and couldn't help but sigh: "In those years, in the financial field, no matter the structure, vision, or skills, who didn't feel the suffocating oppression of the Song family."
"So, Senator Keen is dead?"
When the young man heard this, he realized how one-sided he had seen.
No wonder his father is not in a hurry at all, that’s why.
But his face was also full of excitement, and he even felt like the hairs on his body were about to explode.
Just listening to this big situation makes people excited.
He always has the urge to show off his skills in big waves.
Robert said: "Yes. Not to mention that he is a small member of the House of Representatives. Maybe some restless members of the five major members will have to fight."
He looked at it. Looking at his son in front of him, he seemed to have seen through everything, and said: "The situation this time is in deep water. I don't even understand it. We, the Morton family, try not to get involved this time. Those people you have arranged, please be calm. .”
“Yes, Father.”
The young man was already convinced and responded respectfully.
In comparison, he realized that his previous "layouts" were really like child's play.
Robert said: "In any case, she has made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Federation today. That's why I say she is a senior and elder worthy of admiration. Although no one received the invitation, But once you come, it’s time to see her off. This time, you should take a good look at her plan. Even if she is dead, some people will be trembling. A little bit is enough for you to use for life."
As he said, he added: "And I feel that as the old continent is developed and deepened, the Federation will also change."
The young man thought about those words and said respectfully: "Yes, Father."
But after saying that, doubts appeared in Robert's sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything, and he murmured to himself: "It's strange why she is dying and has to go through all the trouble to come to this remote innocent city?"
Ji Xun walked out of the room.
At the door, Mr. Jiu, dressed in a black suit, was still standing there upright.
He seemed to have known the result for a long time. He was wearing the most solemn suit today just to see that person off on his last journey.
Looking at Ji Xun walking out, Mr. Jiu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, his turbid eyes also dimmed, and he murmured in his heart: "The lady is gone"
Ji Xun felt the decline of the old man's vitality.
But before he could speak, Ji Xun suddenly felt a sense of "malice".
Mr. Jiu obviously noticed it and snorted coldly.
At this moment, several ghost figures suddenly appeared in the void, rushing towards the room behind Ji Xun.
“Get out!”
Mr. Jiu shouted sharply, and green magic power surged out from his body.
But just as he was about to take action, two hands suddenly stretched out from his neck and blocked his neck.
A large sealing seal was poured from his arm, instantly sealing Mr. Jiu's spell power before it could be released.
At the same time, strange laughter came: "Jiejiejiejie, stay well, old man!"
When Ji Xun saw this scene, his heart immediately trembled: "The Bai family's secret child "Paramount Technique?"
At the same time, he also understood why these guys wanted to rush into the room!
Although Song Yu's body had been disintegrated, Ji Xun's eyes turned cold when he saw the behavior of these guys.
Mr. Jiu, who can instantly suppress at least level 5, is definitely at level 6.
In other words, the top master of the Bai family is here!
“What a Bai family!”
Ji Xun snorted coldly in his heart.
Although there were some minor conflicts before, he felt that it was a conflict of legitimate competition.
Now all my good impressions of the Bai family are gone.
He also said that he would send back the things left by the ancestor of the Bai family.
Looking at it now, even if the oath backfires on me, it is absolutely impossible!
Just when my thoughts changed, something happened again.
The moment Mr. Jiu was stopped, those ghosts were already heading towards the room.
That’s not an evil ghost either!
But the "Fairy Family" of the Bai family!
Ji Xun looked stern, even though the enemy was very strong, he did not dodge, but just when he was about to take action, something unexpected happened.
A man in a cloak appeared beside him out of thin air.
Before Ji Xun could clearly see what was going on, the cloaked man suddenly suppressed the entire audience with the domineering aura of a god descending from heaven, and punched the ghost figures with one punch.
The strength of the fist swept away with an aura of destruction.
The ghost figures on the opposite side were exploded in two instants. At the same time, an unexpected shout came from the ghost figure: "Legendary strong man!"
The Bai family has He came prepared, but it’s not like he didn’t have the strength to fight.
But since a legendary powerhouse appears here, it means that the Song family has been prepared.
This kind of battle is meaningless!
“Damn it!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost spat and hurriedly fled towards the elevator, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The cloaked man watched but did not pursue him.
The battle started suddenly and ended suddenly.
At this time, Mr. Jiu's arm on his neck was also cut off, and it fell to the ground and turned into a pool of pus and blood.
Ji Xun looked at this scene with a slightly stern expression.
After reading the letters left by Song Yu before, he knew why the people from the Bai family came here.
This behemoth of the Song family has many people interested in it.
It’s definitely not just the Bai family.
Ji Xun was thinking when the cloaked man next to him turned his head and said, "You will be in trouble if you stay here. I am here. You leave first."
"Yes."
Although he didn't show his face, Ji Xun recognized him just now. If this cloaked man wasn't Qin Ruzui after seeing him for a long time, who was he?
Although he didn't understand why a deputy leader of the revolutionary army was here,
but he also knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past.
If he stays here, the problem will be huge.
Ji Xun didn’t say much, and took the elevator downstairs without even asking Mr. Jiu to follow him.
He had no intention of leaving Honglou.
I want to wait and see how the Song family arranges the funeral.
Ji Xun wanted to accompany her on the last journey and send a bouquet of roses to her grave.
Unconsciously, we came to the first floor, which happened to be the performance of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe.
It is still the play that is still fresh in my memory - "The Swan of Best Lake".
The news of the death of the Song family talker has not yet spread, but there is still singing and dancing here.
Ji Xun didn’t attract anyone’s attention and blended into the crowd.
Before, I only thought the actors’ performances on the stage were wonderful, but now it’s a different feeling.
The first stage play the two of them watched was one she would remember for the rest of her life.
"Ji Xun, which actor do you think is the prettiest~"
"Wow, Mr. Ji Xun, it turns out you like the plump one~"
". ”
Looking at the stage play that was exactly the same as a hundred years ago, the girl’s voice echoed in my memory.
Ji Xun had a very strange feeling.
Never before had he felt like he had at this moment, as if he had sensed the actor's deeper emotions, not just the ones performed, but also the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in his heart.
That kind of state seems to have a clear understanding of the world.
Not only can I see it, but I can also feel it. For the first time, I can truly experience the complex emotions that normal people have.
As he was watching, Ji Xun suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and seemed to see a familiar figure.
Take another closer look.
That iconic mushroom head seems to be Jia Yu?
And the strange thing is that at this moment, everyone in his eyes seemed to be characters in a movie, shadowy.
Only that guy came into view like a living person.
“Eh”
Ji Xun suddenly broke away from that state of realization.
As soon as he turned his eyes, he realized that something was wrong.
It cannot be a coincidence that this person appears here.
After all, Ji Xun himself still has a jar implicated in the contamination of the old god "Scarlet Corruption Seiadis".
Or maybe this guy appearing here has something to do with the Song family?
Whatever it is, the stakes are high.
Ji Xun thought and walked over.
In an inconspicuous position in the corridor on the second floor, he saw Mushroom Head leaning on the railing watching a stage play.
It is indeed Jia Yu.
The mushroom head still looked like a harmless boy, with an innocent smile on his face, as if he was watching the show seriously.
Even now, Ji Xun couldn't see any flaws in that face.
It was as if this was really an ordinary person, with no trace of the legendary leader of the Thirteen Kamen Riders.
Ji Xun walked over and lay down on the railing.
The mushroom head glanced at him sideways, smiled brightly, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Ji Xun, long time no see."
As he said that, he seemed to have seen through something, and then Added: "You seem very sad. But you are in good condition."
Ji Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened.
Although he had guessed it, it was the first time he asked the question he was curious about: "Are you a light chaser?"
The mushroom head did not deny it, but also said He said something that made people confused: "I am the "Light Chaser". But the light chaser is not me. ”
I just got @ by a friend and learned that there is a reward from the leader. I would like to thank the boss of the "Nine-Storey Pagoda" for the reward of 100,000 coins, and also thank all the book friends for their rewards during this time.
Old book friends all know that in the past, the author was rewarded with more than 10,000 rewards. But later he found that he was handicapped and always failed to finish the updates, thus failing everyone's expectations. Therefore, if he was not able, he would not receive rewards. I have never asked for this book.
But the leader must definitely add more updates. When the plot goes smoothly, he will try to add more updates as much as possible.
Thanks again to Mr. Pagoda for your love!
