"Song Zhan is right," Mo Yunxi said. "The imperial family of the Northern Chill Empire doesn't equate to supreme power. It's just that the Jiang family has no interest in participating in politics. Otherwise, the Emperor of the Northern Chill Empire should be someone from the Jiang family."

Lin Yusheng was stunned when he heard this, "Emperor?"

What a fresh name.

"That's right. Here we call the leader of a country the Emperor, which is different from the Chairman in your country."

"The current emperor of the Beihan Empire is Li Zhengming, and the previous emperor was Li Zhengming's father, Li Zhengguo."

Lin Yusheng was a little surprised when he heard this. "So the Beihan Empire is still a hereditary system?"

The hereditary system means that after the death of an emperor, the throne will be inherited by his eldest son, and power will be passed on through blood.

Mo Yunxi shook her head. "No, to be precise, that's not entirely true. The Emperor was elected by several major families, led by the Jiang family. It's just that Li Zhengguo performed well during his tenure, and Li Zhengming, as his eldest son, was also very outstanding. So after Li Zhengguo's death, the Jiang family directly nominated Li Zhengming as the new Emperor."

It is now the 27th year since Li Zhengming took over the throne of Emperor. According to the current situation, after Li Zhengming retires, several major families are likely to continue to nominate Li Zhengming's eldest son as the next generation Emperor.

Outsiders think that the supreme throne of the emperor is actually just a tool for several major families to manage the country.

Lin Yusheng: "Isn't the power of the several major families headed by the Jiang family too great? They can actually directly decide the throne of the emperor of a country. Wouldn't the emperor have a grudge against this?"

I believe that no king of any dynasty would allow such a thing to exist, right?

Mo Yunxi smiled. "So what if I mind? The Beihan Empire's economy, military, ancient martial arts, technology, and other powers are all controlled by a few major families, not the royal family. Therefore, most emperors can only acquiesce to this situation."

"Of course, there have been cases where successive emperors were dissatisfied. Emperor Liu Zong three hundred years ago was an example. He actually tried to use the power of the imperial family to suppress the Jiang family. The end result was that he was pulled down from the throne by the Jiang family the next day and directly expelled from Beihanzhou."

Lin Yusheng was stunned when he heard this, "..."

"In short, no one dares to challenge the authority of the Jiang family. Otherwise, even the emperor will end up miserably."

Just as Mo Yunxi finished speaking, an announcement sounded in the cabin: "Dear passengers, hello, our plane has arrived at the Walmer International Airport in the capital S City. Thank you for taking this flight, and I wish you a pleasant trip to S City."

Lu Jingxiao stroked Lin Yusheng's hair and said softly, "Let's go."

Lin Yusheng stood up and followed him, lining up to leave the cabin.

Arriving at the airport lobby is refreshing.

Although the airport's appearance does not look unique, its interior planning and layout, space design and intelligent systems appear to be much more advanced.

There are even humanoid robots walking around the airport to provide assistance to passengers.

Lin Yusheng was quite curious about the level of intelligence of the robots here. She walked towards a robot and asked some questions like "Where is the bathroom? Where is the airport exit?"

As a result, the robots were able to provide accurate directions.

Lin Yusheng tried again: "I am blind, can you lead the way for me?"

The robot glanced at her from head to toe, but what it said surprised Lin Yusheng:

"You are not blind, but I can lead the way for you if you need."

Lin Yusheng: “…”

Lu Jingxiao walked over and said with a smile, "The robots here can not only help with directions, but they can also handle emergencies. Last time, a passenger suddenly fainted at the airport, and a robot was the first to rush over and perform CPR on him."

Lin Yusheng felt a little emotional as he looked at the robots moving around in an orderly manner.

She had always thought that a country that worshipped strength and respected ancient martial arts would be disdainful of technology, but she didn't expect that the technology here was more advanced than that of China.

Lin Yusheng followed Lu Jingxiao out of the airport, and Mo Yunxi led them to a black business car.

It’s the Mo family’s car.

"It's getting dark. You can stay at my house tonight. The auction will start tomorrow afternoon." Mo Yunxi said.

Lin Yusheng nodded and got in the car.

Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of a castle.

Like the Jiang family, most families in the Beihan Empire build their homes like castles, which is the main architectural style here.

The Mo family's castle was built very solemnly. There was a two-person-high wall outside the castle. Every few meters along the wall there was a guard standing. They stood in standard postures, had serious expressions, and held rifles in their hands.

Lin Yusheng had learned before that carrying guns was allowed in Beihanzhou.

Beyond the gate of the wall, there are lines of guards patrolling back and forth inside the castle. Looking up, there are also guards standing on the second floor of the castle and on the balcony above the second floor.

The entire castle is tightly protected, and there are probably no less than a hundred guards alone.

"Something happened recently. A family's treasure was stolen. This incident has aroused the vigilance of many families."

As Mo Yunxi led them forward, she said, "The castle's security wasn't this strict before. After this incident, the guards were strengthened."

After all, a family's treasure is a very important thing to the family.

When we arrived at the castle gate, we found that the arched gate was three people tall and was tightly closed.

"This is the main entrance. Inside the main entrance is the main hall, where the clan leader and elders hold meetings. The main hall contains important confidential documents and valuables of the family, so it is generally not open to the public, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

So Mo Yunxi led them around the main gate and came to an archway on the side.

This gate is about two doors high, and it can be seen that it connects to a completely different area from the previous main gate.

"This door leads to the main hall. Beyond this, there are two other doors, one leading to the living room and the other to the side hall. The living room is used to entertain guests, and the side hall is for the guards, cooks, and servants who are on their shifts to rest. The main hall, living room, and side halls are all connected."

In other words, you can still reach the living room and side hall by entering from the main hall door.

So Mo Yunxi led them directly into the main hall.

"Second Miss." The housekeeper came out and nodded at Mo Yunxi.

Led by Mo Yunxi, the group walked in for dozens of meters and came to a hall. Sitting on the sofa in the hall was a woman with the same chestnut curly hair as Mo Yunxi. She was Mo Yunxi's sister, Mo Fan.

There were two servants standing in front of Mo Fan. Mo Fan was giving them cold orders with a not very good look on his face.

Mo Fan paused when he heard someone coming and glanced over here indifferently, "Yun Xi, is this your guest?"

Mo Yunxi nodded and said, "I'll take them to the living room first."

Mo Yunxi led a few people out along the corridor on the left.

Mo Fan looked at Lin Yusheng's back, frowned, and took a long time to look away, his expression cold.

Is Mo Yunxi crazy? He actually let a Chinese woman live in his house.
