Chapter 260: The Holy Spirit Church’s Internal Response
"Captain, one hundred and forty-five academies from the three empires have sent in applications. How many should we cross out?" Yan Lingshu came to Luo Yu with a thick stack of applications.
Luo Yu looked at Yan Lingshu's slightly red face and asked, "Where is Lu Jiuyu? Isn't Lu Jiuyu responsible for these things?"
"He said he wasn't feeling well, so he let me..." Yan Lingshu bit her red lips lightly, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face.
Luo Yu naturally knew that it was a trick played by these guys, and nodded, "Just leave it to Rachel. Is there any latest development in the three empires?"
The blush on Yan Lingshu's face had not yet faded. "The compensation from the Xingluo Empire has been delivered, but the new students we sent to Shrek seem to have encountered some troubles, because there are actually a few people from the Holy Spirit Church among them. After these people were sent to Shrek, they were immediately discovered by Shrek. Shrek hopes that we can give a reasonable explanation."
"Let's put it aside for now. There's no rush for Shrek's affairs. Come on, follow me to take a look at the situation at the border. The border has never been peaceful recently." Luo Yu put down what he was holding and looked at Yan Lingshu.
Yan Lingshu nodded, followed Luo Yu, and walked out of Maple Leaf City. Yan Lingshu looked back at the city wall and couldn't help but sighed: "I don't know what Maple Leaf City was like eight thousand years ago?"
"Eight thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Sun-Moon Empire brought soul guides to Douluo Continent. The three kingdoms of Douluo Continent were defeated in a short period of time. Unfortunately, Shrek stood up and gathered almost all the Titled Douluo of Douluo Continent at that time to participate in that war. In the end, the three empires worked together to defeat the Sun-Moon Empire. Maple Leaf City was once an important town, but unfortunately, with the defeat of the Sun-Moon Empire, Maple Leaf City gradually declined."
When it comes to the history of the Sun-Moon Empire, no one knows it better than Luo Yu. Moreover, the history of the Sun-Moon Empire is recorded in detail in the royal library of the Sun-Moon Empire. However, Luo Yu did not find the detailed history of the palace coup of that year. There were only a few short sentences.
However, the palace coup that year was not a bad thing for the Sun-Moon Empire as a whole. On the contrary, a king who is praised for his benevolence even by his enemies is definitely not a qualified king.
If he was really that good, the one who died in the palace coup would definitely be the current emperor.
"Captain, do you think we can win?" Although Yan Lingshu's family has not been passed down for eight thousand years, she also knows the history of the defeat back then.
Looking at the garrison camp, Luo Yu cast his gaze towards the garrison of the Sky Soul Empire in the distance. "Unless someone from the three empires can surpass the former Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo, or the three empires can produce dozens of Titled Douluo, otherwise, in my lifetime, the Sun Moon Empire will not lose."
Passing by the military camp, the soldiers and officers saluted Luo Yu one by one. Luo Yu simply returned the salute, indicating that it was just a normal inspection.
As far as the eye can see, there are traces of war around Maple Leaf City. The border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire has always been unstable. Maple Leaf City, as a large border city bordering the Sky Soul Empire, is naturally not peaceful either.
"Captain, where are we going?" As they were getting farther and farther away from Maple Leaf City, Yan Lingshu felt that this trip out would not be that easy.
Before they knew it, they had walked out of Maple Leaf City, and judging from the situation, they seemed to be heading towards the border garrison.
"To discuss some matters. You'll know the details when you get there."
Luo Yu smiled at Yan Lingshu and said nothing more. The frontier guards' station was only a dozen miles away from the border, and they arrived in the blink of an eye.
When the commander of the garrison army came out, Yan Lingshu was stunned.
"General Yan, long time no see." Looking at the tall and upright middle-aged man opposite, Luo Yu bowed slightly.
The middle-aged man in front of him was tall and straight, with a stern face, and every move he made was filled with a strong aura of murderousness. The moment he saw Yan Lingshu, he was stunned.
"You, you, you..." Yan Haoying stammered and couldn't speak.
"Dad, why are you here? Weren't you sent to the border of the Xing Luo Empire?" Yan Lingshu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it was true.
The meeting between father and daughter was a warm scene.
However, this warmth was interrupted by Luo Yu after just a few minutes.
"Last time, after I talked to His Majesty, I transferred General Yan from the border of the Xingluo Empire to Maple Leaf City. I may not trust others, but if I am in Maple Leaf City and let General Yan guard it, basically I don't have to worry about anything. General Yan, I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you are free now?"
Yan Haoying looked at Luo Yu and said without any hesitation, "Master Luo Yu, just speak up. I, Yan, will tell you everything I know."
"What I want to ask is, how many people in the Yan family have joined the Holy Spirit Church?"
Luo Yu's words were always shocking, and even Yan Lingshu himself didn't know this news.
At this point, Yan Haoying fell silent. "The situation of the Yan family is more complicated than Young Master imagined..."
After some conversation, Luo Yu finally understood why Yan Haoying was sent to the place bordering the Xingluo Empire.
"The situation seems very complicated. If I'm guessing correctly, many families in Mingdu are more or less related to the Holy Spirit Church, right? Although it can't be considered collusion, there are still exchanges, right?"
"This is the thing. In fact, Your Majesty has tried to control many things, but most of them have had little effect. The Yan family... If my guess is correct, it won't be long before Young Master Luo Yu will take action against the Holy Spirit Church, right?" Yan Haoying guessed correctly. He knew very well the purpose of Luo Yu's visit this time.
Luo Yu nodded. "I have a general understanding of the Yan family's situation. If the Yan family really wants to continue to survive, they can only cut off their arms to survive. Otherwise, I can only save Yan Lingshu and General Yan's family. As for the Yan family, I can't do anything. As for what to choose, I will wait for General Yan to give me a reply..."
"Let's go, it's time to go back..."
Back in Maple Leaf City, it was still the familiar office, looking at the pile of documents on the table.
Luo Yu rubbed his brows. With so many things going on, mistakes are inevitable. "What about the others? Are there any problems with the others?"
The Holy Spirit Church has always had a long reach. Just from the matter that he was in charge of, it shows that there are still many families in the Sun-Moon Empire that are in collusion with the Holy Spirit Church.
However, now that we have evidence, I will write a letter and send it to Your Majesty to reprimand him.
"Other people are fine, but there have been quite a few fights in Shrek Academy in private, and the victims are naturally the students of our Sun-Moon Empire. Shrek has intervened to stop them many times. Recently, there was an incident with a spy from the Holy Spirit Church, and the conflicts in the academy have become even more serious. These things are the latest to be reported, and because they are of great importance, they are placed on your desk, captain." As he spoke, Yan Lingshu pointed to a thick pile of documents on the table. Looking at the pile of things that had not been dealt with, Luo Yu was not in a hurry.
"It's not a big deal. Write a letter for me to tell His Majesty to find out the families of these guys, and His Majesty will naturally know what to do with the rest. As for Shrek, take Rachel and the others with me, and I will visit Shrek Academy in person. As for other matters, someone will naturally take care of them."
Luo Yu gave an order, and ordered his men to go down and gather everyone together.
Soon, the six people gathered. In the conference room, Luo Yu looked at the six people and asked, "How much do you know about the families behind those guys?"
"They are just a few small third-rate families in Mingdu. We didn't expect that they would collude with the Holy Spirit Church. I was negligent in this matter. Captain, I'm sorry..." Lu Jiuyu lowered his head in shame. He was responsible for the dispatch of the candidates. Now such a mistake occurred. It was indeed his fault.
Luo Yu waved his hand and motioned Lu Jiuyu to sit down. "It's not your fault. Fortunately, they didn't do anything treasonous. If that's the case, you should think about how to explain it to His Majesty. Bring your guards and follow me to Shrek Academy."
Rachel looked at Luo Yu in surprise and said, "Captain, you are kidding, are we really going to go to Shrek to give those guys an explanation? Can't this kind of thing be solved with just a few words of explanation?"
"The captain naturally has his plans. I guess this trip to Shrek is not as simple as explaining it clearly. The captain's purpose should be on those people, right?" Lu Jiuyu looked at Luo Yu and asked.
"We'll discuss the details when we get to Shrek. Pack up your things and remember to send a message to His Majesty. It's time to clean up those people who have dirty hands and feet."
Looking at Luo Yu's serious expression, everyone knew that the trip to Shrek was not that easy.
Shrek Academy.
"Have you heard? Among the exchange students sent by the Sun-Moon Empire, there are actually a few people from the Holy Spirit Church! Fortunately, they were discovered by the dean of the academy, and they are still being detained." Wang Dong'er said with some surprise. Looking at the gently fluttering eyelashes and the smart eyes, Su Yu reached out and held Wang Dong'er's hand.
He and Luo Yu had the same memory, so he naturally knew about these things in advance. "How was it handled later?"
Wang Dong'er thought for a moment and continued, "They are being held in custody for now. The academy has already appealed to the Sun-Moon Empire, and the Sun-Moon Empire has responded, saying that they will give the academy a satisfactory explanation. According to information from Huo Yuhao and Senior Brother Beibei, Luo Yu from the Sun-Moon Empire is on his way."
"You're quite brave. You dare to come here alone when the relationship with the three empires is so tense?" Su Yu knew it of course, but he pretended to be ignorant in front of Wang Dong'er.
"This matter is very serious. After all, it involves the Holy Spirit Church. Although the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church have colluded with each other, these things cannot be made public, so the impact this time is particularly deep. After all, we still have to do enough work on the surface, just like the last time the Sun-Moon Empire did a good job in popularizing soul guides. But I don't know what tricks they are going to play this time."
Wang Donger sat at the desk, boredly looking at the pile of complicated manuscripts on Su Yu's desk. Next to her, Su Yu was still diligently sorting out the pile of design drawings.
The sunlight shone through the tall buildings and into the room, bringing with it a faint golden afterglow. The golden light fell on Su Yu's hair, as if adding a bit of nobility to the young man in front of him.
"I really don't know how I fell in love with this guy back then..." Wang Dong'er supported her chin and looked at Su Yu quietly.
Organizing and modifying the soul guide design drawings is a tedious and boring task in itself. Perhaps only Wang Dong'er can quietly watch Su Yu complete these tasks.
After finishing one part, Su Yu did not continue, but put all the messy manuscripts into the storage soul guide. He sorted out the pile of messy manuscripts and classified them in a few minutes, and finally sent them into his own storage soul guide.
Wang Dong'er didn't like soul guides. Although she could barely use simple soul guides under Su Yu's influence, her aversion to soul guides was still hard to eliminate. There were some things Wang Dong'er couldn't figure out. She didn't know why she had such a strong interest in the Tang Sect, and she couldn't figure out why she had an instinctive aversion to soul guides.
"Do you want to try out the latest hidden weapon made by big brother?"
Wang Dong'er looked at Su Yu's skilled appearance and saw him explaining the uses of these soul guides to her, and suddenly she had an idea.
It is always a pleasure to do something that interests you. She suddenly understood why Su Yu always liked to design some strange things.
Just like the Tang Sect designed a new version of hidden weapons by combining soul guides, it felt like finding a brand new toy that made him extremely interested. Just thinking about it made him happy.
"No, I've tested it. Have you forgotten that I'm also a member of the Tang Sect?"
"But I didn't say which one it was." Wang Dong'er looked at Su Yu and asked expectantly, "Have you really tested them all?"
"Forehead……"
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "Which one? Logically, I should have tested them all."
"........."
"I was just kidding, haha..."
Ever since she knew Su Yu would spoil her, she became more naughty.
"Although I don't know why you are so resistant to soul guides, but believe me, one day, I will help you find a solution to the problem, and then you can come with me to experience the soul guide I made."
Su Yu reached out and gently tucked her hair behind her ears, looking at Wang Dong'er tenderly.
"really?"
"Really, Dong'er, believe me..."
