As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Shen Tianlin and others were mentally prepared, but did not react much. On Lin Yan's side, everyone seemed to see some hope.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I take this seriously. Ancheng wants to be a part of the alliance, and we welcome him at any time. What do Shen Cheng think?"
Everyone looked at Shen Tianlin. With just one word from him, Ancheng's future could be decided.
At this moment, Shen Tianlin's heart suddenly settled, and he solemnly said: "After watching it for so many days, we very much approve of the alliance. To be honest, I came here this time precisely because there was a crisis in Ancheng and I had to Looking for a way out.”
Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat: "What happened to Ancheng?" There are many of them in Ancheng, and they have been in business for many years, so they can't let it go to waste.
Shen Tianlin reassured: "Nothing has happened yet, but it's hard to say about the future. Before I came, I met with the envoy from Qicheng. The other party was arrogant and asked Ancheng to surrender. I also inquired about news from several cities close to Ancheng to confirm Qicheng is approaching fiercely, if you don't surrender, we will fight."
"Qicheng? What kind of place is this?" Lin Yan was puzzled, "I've never heard of it before, why did it suddenly appear?"
Shen Tianlin sighed, "Qicheng is far away from Ancheng. It is a big city with a deeper heritage. Ancheng is just a remote and backward small town in Tianduan Mountain, and it is completely incomparable with Qicheng. If nothing else, just in terms of population, it is It’s not on the same level at all. There are at least a million people in Qicheng, and it is one of the first big cities to gather.”
"Qicheng is more like a country, and the surrounding small cities are all its tributaries, except for those far away. Now, Qicheng wants to expand outwards and wants to unify all cities. With such ambitions, Ancheng has no choice at all. If it weren't for the sun, Alliance, our Shen family will definitely have no other way out."
Shen Tiandong said angrily: "Qicheng is aloof, and I am used to being the only one. Submission can only bring temporary stability, but it is not a long-term solution. It is nothing more than letting small towns like us be used as cattle and horses for it to exploit us."
The faces of the people in Ancheng were not good-looking. It was precisely because they saw Qicheng's intentions clearly that they suddenly decided to come to Sun City and find another way to go.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Lin Yan's mind was spinning rapidly.
It seems that Ancheng is a hot potato, and Qicheng is eyeing it. If the alliance takes over at this time, it will face Qicheng head-on.
Even before you get to know Qicheng, you are already destined to stand on the opposite side. It is not a good idea to make enemies rashly without knowing the details of the opponent.
She pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is too sudden. The alliance needs to hold an urgent meeting and invite several people to attend to explain the situation in Qicheng in detail. In addition, we need to send people over to understand the real situation."
Shen Tianlin understood Lin Yan's caution. At this time, any decision the Sun Alliance made rashly would have a major impact.
He also saw that the people in the alliance lived so well, but once they became enemies with Qicheng, such peace and beauty would be broken.
In fact, thinking from his perspective, Shen Tianlin felt that if he were in Lin Yan's position, he would not agree to accept An Cheng.
The distance is too far, and it cannot bring enough benefits. No matter how you look at it, the Sun Alliance will suffer a loss, it will be thankless for its efforts, and it will also create a strong enemy for itself.
All the members of the Arbitration Court in the city were present.
Lin Yan looked around and said, "I called everyone here today urgently because of the Ancheng incident. As we all know, Ancheng has a distinguished guest. I just learned that Ancheng wants to join the alliance. This is originally a good thing, but Ancheng is facing a situation at this time. crisis……"
After hearing Lin Yan tell the whole story, the congressmen immediately went crazy.
They all know that Lin Yan wants to conquer Ancheng. The opportunity is right in front of him, but there is a huge crisis hidden.
Soon, the congressmen asked Shen Tianlin a lot of questions. After a thorough understanding, they were divided into three groups: the opposition, the support group and the neutral group.
It was the first time for Shen Tianlin and others to participate in such a decision-making method, and they were dumbfounded as they watched the three parties arguing fiercely.
As the chairman of the alliance, Lin Yan personally went out and echoed the words of any faction, and it was impossible to tell her true thoughts.
Shen Tianlin was not sure for a moment which faction Lin Yan would support and whether she would be willing to accept An Cheng.
The five members of the Shen family looked at each other. The situation was completely beyond their expectations. They never expected that the alliance's discussion system would be like this.
More than a dozen members held different opinions, and the discussion was intense. When it came to the final vote, there was not much difference, and no one had the upper hand for a while.
Lin Yan actually abstained from voting, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ye Cong asked in surprise: "What did you think of abstaining from voting?"
Hong Ling also looked at Lin Yan in confusion. They all knew that Lin Yan had done so much in Ancheng, just to absorb Ancheng, but she changed her position at this time.
Lin Yan smiled bitterly, she also wanted to vote in support. However, she knew very well that this matter could not be decided in a flash of her mind.
Only by sitting in the position of chairman can we deeply understand that any decision must be made with caution. Once she voted in favor, the outcome of the vote was no longer in doubt.
There is no rush to make a decision on the Ancheng matter. It is just a word from Shen Tianlin and the others, and the specific situation needs to be investigated.
She said: "It's like this. There is no conclusion on this matter at the moment. Why don't I go to Ancheng in person? I happen to be on the same road as Lord Shen and the others to understand the situation in Qicheng."
Kurotsuchi immediately objected: "No, you can't leave now, go find someone else."
Ye Meng and Xia Li also objected at the same time. They and Kurotsuchi had the same idea. At this time, the alliance needed Lin Yan to take charge.
Of the five arbiters, only Lin Yan and Kurotsuchi were present. Many people felt uneasy, let alone Lin Yan's absence.
Li Ge said directly: "I will follow."
Kurotsuchi agreed: "The military headquarters sent a team of people, and the congressman also sent two people to follow."
Ye Meng said quickly: "I will go there in person. I will definitely inquire about the situation and then dispatch a few people from Xuanhui to follow."
Xia Li answered: "You can rest assured if Ye Meng goes there in person. Lin Yan, who do you think Xuan Hui will send there?"
Yucai: "Yes, Lin Yan knows the people in Xuanhui best, so it would be best for you to choose them."
After a few words, a few people had already decided. Lin Yan stared blankly, wondering why everyone reacted so quickly.
She also prepared a lot of words to convince them, without even giving her a chance to speak.
Hong Ling snickered, then turned serious a second later and said, "It's a big deal in Ancheng, why don't I go with you, so Lin Yan has nothing to worry about."
Yu Cai instantly understood that this was blocking Lin Yan's escape, and immediately said: "I think it's feasible. Hong Ling and Ye Meng are both very capable, which is reassuring."
Ye Cong was about to open his mouth, but Hong Ling beat him to it. He could do it too.
As a newly-minted member of Parliament, he needed a chance to perform, but he was just a step too late.
The matter was settled quickly, and Lin Yan was speechless.
The five Shen Tianlin people who were watching the whole process looked at Lin Yan and were speechless.
