After Luo Tian received the invitation letter from Mars District, he asked Luo Lin to prepare the gifts to bring. During the time he was away from Tianwang District, he was also worried about another rebellion, so he had to transfer Rubin from Dongzhen back to Bing Palace and let Rooney go to Dongzhen to replace his father to ensure the safety of the entire Tianwang District.
Harry posted a recruitment notice for engineers. Since the salary was high and there were no identity restrictions, many people signed up. He, Gao Shan, and Fen Mao selected engineers while expanding the team to support the construction of Tianwang Nova.
Luo Tian was reading the information about the Mars region in the living room when Lan Yue suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Senior Dugu Yun is back."
Hearing this, Luo Tian hurriedly put down the information and ran outside, only to see that Dugu Yun still looked the same as before, but he had become a little thinner.
"Master, you are finally back!" Luo Tian said excitedly.
"Let's go in and talk." Dugu Yun said calmly.
The two walked into the living room, and Luo Tian asked Lan Yue to bring tea and snacks to Dugu Yun.
Dugu Yun was indeed hungry and thirsty, so he wolfed down the food until he filled his stomach.
"Master, you have worked hard. Please take a rest after eating!" Luo Tian said.
Dugu Yun said, "I've rested well, and I'll tell you about the Jupiter area right away."
"Master, I heard from Lorraine that the Jupiter District wants to remain neutral and not form an alliance with any district for the time being. Although we can't count on the help of the Jupiter District, I still thank you for your efforts. Anyone who doesn't oppose us is our friend." Luo Tian asked.
Dugu Yun nodded: "You are well-informed, but this is only superficial. I have used many connections to get the news from within the Jupiter region. Now there are several factions fighting openly and secretly within them. Generally speaking, there are three main forces: the pro-war faction, the neutral faction, and the balance faction."
"It turns out that the Jupiter region is not a monolithic entity." Luo Tian said, "Which of these three factions is beneficial to us?"
"The war faction advocates relying on the powerful military of Jupiter City and the Survival Alliance to divide up Uranus City, expand the living space, and strive for the greatest benefits, so this is our enemy. The neutral faction is the most powerful political faction in the Jupiter District. They advocate maintaining neutrality between districts, not forming alliances with any district, not getting involved in wars, and only doing business with various districts to maintain the growth of wealth in the Jupiter District. The balance faction believes that they should form an alliance with the Uranus District and the Saturn District to jointly resist the expansion of the Survival Alliance, so that Kaiyuan can maintain balance, otherwise the Survival Alliance will swallow it up." Dugu Yun said after taking a sip of tea.
"That means the neutral faction and the balanced faction are both forces we can win over," Luo Tian said.
"That's right. The neutral faction is the dominant force in the Jupiter zone now. But after the Saturn zone and the Survival Alliance decided to join forces, the pro-war and balance factions in the Jupiter zone are growing rapidly, and the centrists are moving towards these two poles. So the current neutral policy will never last for a long time. Sooner or later, the situation in the Jupiter zone will change, and we must be prepared." Dugu Yun reminded.
"Is it possible that the Balance Faction will come to power and we will form an alliance with the Jupiter District?" Luo Tian asked.
"It's not that there is no possibility. When I was in the Jupiter area, I had contact with the Balance Faction in many ways. They were very interested in forming an alliance with us and hoped to have a chance to communicate with us. So when I came back this time, I also wanted to tell you that we can contact the Balance Faction to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." Dugu Yun said.
"Sure! I'm going to the Mars area in the next two days. The Mars area is right next to the Jupiter area, so I can stop by and chat with them." Luo Tian said.
"I think we can first contact the Balance Faction in Kaiyuan. You have a special status now. It would be against diplomatic etiquette to rashly go to the Jupiter area without an invitation from the Jupiter Governor." Dugu Yun advised.
"Master, what you said makes sense. You can arrange a meeting with them and I will attend on time." Luo Tian said, "Master, you should know that the Saturn District Connected Survival Alliance wants to divide Uranus City and supports Roger to come back as emperor. The situation is extremely urgent now. It can be said that the Uranus District is in danger."
Dugu Yun could naturally feel the huge pressure on Luo Tian. He walked over, patted Luo Tian on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too anxious. Leave the Jupiter area to me. I'll tell you when I have news."
Luo Tian nodded: "There is one more thing I want to ask Master for help. While I am away from the Tianwang District, Uncle Rubin will manage the Ice Palace on my behalf. But you also know that we are seriously short of manpower now. Sharp has been sent out, so please help Rubin manage the Tianwang District. I plan to give you the MiG fiefdom in the future!"
Dugu Yun quickly waved his hand and refused: "I can help Rubin, but as for managing Beizhen, please let me go. I can't manage people. You should look for someone else. To be honest, if you were not my nephew, I would not care about your affairs. I won't say anymore. I'm going to rest first!"
Luo Tian watched Dugu Yun leave, thinking to himself: There are so few people like Master who are not greedy for power!
Not long after Dugu Yun left, the guards came to report that a shabby-dressed man from the lower district wanted to see His Majesty, and specifically asked to see him by name.
In fact, Luo Tian was very familiar with this kind of situation, so he said, "Do you know where this person is from and what his identity is?"
"Your Majesty, this man's identity is very suspicious. He is not included in our population data and is probably an illegal resident. But he is quite confident and even handed me this note, asking me to give it to you and he will let him in," said the guard.
Luo Tian took the note handed over by the guard, opened it and was shocked to find that there were only two words written on it: Jiuhai.
After seeing these two words, Luo Tian was overjoyed and ran outside quickly. He didn't want to miss Jiuhai again.
Luo Tian arrived at the gate and saw a tall and thin boy standing at the door. He had blue hair, a handsome face, fair skin, and a gray robe that made him look inconspicuous.
"Hahaha, Jiuhai, you're finally here, come in quickly!" Luo Tian ordered the guards to lift the guardrail, took Jiuhai's hand and ran straight to the living room.
"I'm here to visit the Ice Palace and see you, but don't think I'll join you!" Jiuhai said.
Luo Tian naturally understood what he meant. It was inevitable that he came here today to conduct an investigation. However, what made him happy was that Jiu Hai was willing to show up in reality, which was enough to prove that he had new ideas to help him.
"Don't worry, I won't force you. You are welcome to visit the Ice Palace. I will take you to see it now." Luo Tian said.
Jiuhai followed Luotian into the Ice Palace, admiring the beautiful scenery as they walked. Luotian explained the history of the Ice Palace and the distribution of its functional areas to Jiuhai, and Jiuhai did not mention anything about helping Luotian.
Luo Tian was not in a hurry, he believed there would always be an opportunity to make Jiu Hai believe in him.
