When the accurate news passed through various departments to Yinlonghai, Li Huacheng was discussing with Hua Zhengyang the layout of the academy for the next five years.

This is the most important thing in the academy at the moment.

Li Huacheng had already confirmed his re-election, and his status was so stable that it was impossible for any changes to occur.

In the past ten years, due to the lack of academic background, although Li Huacheng was in the top position, his style of conduct was relatively moderate. The entire academy seemed to be struggling in the game with other groups, so that they did not make any progress in the ten years. expected influence.

If things go according to normal conditions, if Li Huacheng retires next year, it will definitely be an unprecedented failure for the academics. They may still be in the ranks of the six major groups, but they will be overwhelmed by the Southeast Group Prince Group in all aspects , It is even difficult to compare with the reshuffled wealthy group.

This is too far from their expectations. In their expectations, during the ten years since Li Huacheng took office, even if the academic school cannot surpass the Southeast Prince to become the number one group in Central Continent, at least they should keep pace with those two ancient groups. If they still have to survive in the shadow of other groups in the end, they cannot accept this result at all.

Fortunately, the change of the Beihai Wang family and the rise of the East Palace disrupted the rhythm of the major groups.

Li Huacheng had another five years of precious time.

In the past few months, all the key members of the academy faction came to Youzhou intentionally or unintentionally. Taking the opportunity of reporting work, they calmly advised Li Huacheng, hoping that Li Huacheng would pay more attention to the future of the team.

The two remaining old men from the Academy School also came to Youzhou to discuss this issue with Li Huacheng.

They didn't say anything clearly, but the meaning was very clear.

I hope that Li Huacheng can unite the forces that should be united the most.

This is undoubtedly telling Li Huacheng that he should take advantage of these five years to grasp the future of the academy.

As a leader, Li Huacheng clearly felt the pressure from within.

This pressure has existed as early as two years ago.

Dissatisfaction with the status quo within the academy will also become dissatisfaction with him over time.

It's just that this kind of dissatisfaction has not reached its peak, and the news that he can be re-elected has already spread, temporarily suppressing the undercurrent within the academy.

But the problem always exists.

And it has to be something worth addressing.

Li Huacheng's position seems to be supreme, but no matter how much he cares about his family and country, he must stabilize the inside. If no one even supports him inside, he can't do anything.

The arrangement for Huazhengyang is the clearest signal.

Li Huacheng's attitude was extremely firm, and he wanted Hua Zhengyang to be overthrown as the head of the cabinet.

This is also the biggest appeal of the academic faction in this general election.

If it can be successful, the academy can guarantee that it will become the most powerful group in the next five years.

After promoting Hua Zhengyang's goal of becoming a leader, there are still many internal positions that need to be adjusted.

Some people go up and some go down. In less than a year before the general election, all major groups are optimizing and adjusting their structures in order to form a group with the most combat effectiveness.

"It's not a big problem with the military department."

In the dark night, the office is brightly lit.

Li Huacheng took a sip of tea, looked at Hua Zhengyang, and smiled slightly: "Minister Dongcheng is quite cooperative,

We have studied carefully, and I know the candidates you recommend, and they have good abilities. The official appointment will only take about one or two months, so let them pay attention. "

It seemed that he had made up his mind to adjust his thinking, and it was a private occasion, Li Huacheng's words were very thorough.

Hua Zhengyang nodded, frowned and said, "The Imperial Army over there?"

"It hasn't been discussed yet. This issue is more sensitive. Let's find a suitable opportunity."

Li Huacheng was a little helpless.

Hua Zhengyang snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied, of course it was aimed at Dongcheng Wudi.

The influence of the academy party on the military department has not been very great. At the most dangerous time, their control over the military department was even far inferior to that of the prince group and the wealthy group.

Qi Beicang is the leader of the Special Operations Group but has an extremely close relationship with the Prince's Group.

Military veteran Wei Tianhang.

Ye Dongsheng, the military god of Zhongzhou.

One counts as one, and they are all super heavyweights with too much influence in the Central Continent Military Headquarters beyond their own positions.

At that time, the academic school had no hope of breaking the situation, so after the first five years when Li Huacheng gained a firm foothold, the academic school teamed up with the wealthy group.

Dongcheng Invincible became the director of Central Continent, formally in control of the military, and clearly ranked third among the directors. After the general election, he was the number two figure in Central Continent.

The academics undoubtedly hope to unite the prince group to check and balance the strong influence of the southeast and the prince group in the military.

So far, this move is going pretty well.

In the past five years, most of the attention of the two major groups in the military has been drawn by Dongcheng Invincible, the god of killing in Zhongzhou, Dongcheng Invincible, and his twenty-year career as a marshal with real power. Internally and externally, his toughness and arrogance have been revealed Undoubtedly, it made the prince and the Southeast Group miserable.

The academics also took advantage of this opportunity to expand their influence in the military.

But all this is clearly not enough.

The academic faction very much hopes to use Li Huacheng's re-election to further strengthen their influence on the military.

This is a very reasonable request.

But it was not a request that Dongcheng Invincible was willing to accept.

The focus of this is the Border Guards.

As the super-large comprehensive army with the strongest combat effectiveness in Central Continent, the Frontier Guard Corps can be said to be the unique banner of the Central Continent Army, and its importance is far greater than that of several major war zones.

If they can gain the dominance of the Frontier Guard Corps, the academy faction will undoubtedly rise strongly in the military.

But Dongcheng Invincible didn't intend to let go at all.

A few years ago, the position of the head of the Border Guard Corps finally fell on the head of Beihai Wang's Di Jiang, and a lot of transactions were made secretly. After Di Jiang resigned, Dongcheng Wudi continued to serve as the head of the Border Guard Corps.

Concurrently serving as the word is destined not to last long.

After this general election, Dongcheng Invincible is still the standing minister of the military department, but he has no reason to continue to hold the position of the Frontier Guard Corps, otherwise the whole world will think that the Central Continent military department is unavailable.

And this position is currently the position that the wealthy group, the southeast group, and the academy are focusing on.

This is not as simple as a member of parliament and a marshal with real power, and its significance cannot be overemphasized.

"He still wants to let the Eagle King of the Li family control the border guards?"

Hua Zhengyang's voice was a little gloomy.

"That's not true."

Li Huacheng shook his head: "I brought up the matter of Tianying once. Since I didn't agree with it at the time, it is unlikely that he will be the follow-up. But in terms of candidates, Minister Dongcheng has too many candidates. Commander, strength is not the most important thing, the main thing is prestige and combat acumen, Thunder Pegasus, bloody yellow sand, several armies of the Frontier Guard Corps, any army commander is barely qualified to compete for that position, they are all Dongcheng Invincible direct power. And Beihai also very much hopes that Ye Dongsheng can take the position of deputy minister and concurrently serve as the head of the Border Guard Corps and become a director. Let alone us, this matter has been fighting openly and secretly for several years. Let’s take it step by step, I’m afraid we will have to wait until the eve of the general election to really decide on the candidate.”

"We still have a chance, right?"

Hua Zhengyang's voice was a little eager.

"certainly."

Li Huacheng smiled. Just as he was about to continue talking, the confidential phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Li Huacheng raised his eyebrows slightly, connected the phone, and gave a hello.

Hua Zhengyang didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly, but he could hear the other party's voice saying something hurriedly.

Li Huacheng's face changed, and he continued to listen attentively, humming from time to time.

A phone call takes about five minutes.

Li Huacheng put down the phone silently and pondered for a long time.

Hua Zhengyang hesitated to speak, but finally suppressed his curiosity and remained silent.

Li Huacheng glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "It's about Tianlan, and it's also about Gu Xingyun and Jiangshangyu. Hey, I'm afraid it's really difficult this time."

"What's wrong?"

Hua Zhengyang's heart tightened slightly.

In Zhongzhou now, anything related to Li Tianlan and the East Palace needs to be treated with caution.

Just like the Wang family of Beihai before.

Anything about Wang Tianzong needs to be treated with caution.

What Li Tianlan said more than two years ago has really become a reality today.

As far as Zhongzhou is concerned, he is the overall situation of Zhongzhou.

Li Hua let out a long breath, reached for the cigarette, took out one, lit it, and took a deep breath.

He smoked almost half of a cigarette before he waved away the smoke in front of him, and said in a low voice, "After Li Tianlan left Youzhou, he went to Tiannan, and was besieged by Jiangshangyu, Gu Xingyun and Li Kuangtu. The battle is now over. Now, Jiang Shangyu Gu Xingyun was seriously injured, Li Kuangtu was captured and fell into Li Tianlan's hands, and based on the time, Li Kuangtu should be in the East Palace by now."

Hua Zhengyang froze for a moment, his expression changed dramatically.

"Crazy Li? Gu Xingyun?"

His mood was agitated, his voice was high and low, and his expression was unbelievable.

"It's incredible, doesn't it?"

Li Huacheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead: "But this is the truth. Three against one, not only did not win, but also lost terribly. Even Li Kuangtu was captured. Fortunately, Jiang Shangyu ran fast, otherwise if three With all of them falling into Li Tianlan's hands, things are even more difficult."

Hua Zhengyang was obviously still obsessed with the names of Li Kuangtu and Gu Xingyun: "How could the two of them work together?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Li Huacheng said lightly: "If we really want to investigate the reason, it's probably because of the pressure. We all attended Mr. Li's funeral, and the relationship between Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan was a little tense. The former doesn't approve of the current East Palace, but he doesn't care about it." There is no doubt that both of them want Li's dominance, judging from the current situation, how can there be any chance in Tiandu Purgatory?"

"The strength of Tiandu Purgatory is still there."

Hua Zhengyang said something subconsciously, then shook his head: "However, they seem to have left a lot of people in the past two years and joined the East Palace."

"That's the way it is, and do you really think that those who stay in Tiandu Purgatory are willing to die for Li Kuangfu? Impossible. Not including those who have left, those who are still staying in Tiandu Purgatory now , must also be vacillating between Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan. These people have nothing to say about their attitudes towards the outside world. But for the East Palace, in their hearts, they are tantamount to being insiders. The East Imperial Palace is really at war with Tiandu Purgatory, and one-third of those who are willing to fight to the death for Tiandu Purgatory will be good."

Li Huacheng shook his head.

Hua Zhengyang didn't speak for a while, but he didn't have any doubts about Li Huacheng's speculation.

In other words, this is not a speculation at all, but a fact.

If the East Palace had just started and was still called the East Palace, perhaps there would be more people standing in the purgatory of Heaven.

But the East Palace has become the East Palace.

What does the East Palace look like now?

A truly invincible Palace Master.

Three invincible deputy palace masters.

In the half-step invincible state, there are nearly twenty peak masters in the thunder state.

There are dozens of masters in the Thunder Realm.

With the current lineup, it can no longer be said that it is no worse than other forces.

This lineup is unique in the entire dark world.

The current East Palace is the strongest.

As far as the high-end combat power of the Thunder Realm is concerned, the current East Palace is no worse than the Beihai Wang Clan, which was at its peak a few years ago.

The only thing that is uncertain is which one is more powerful, Li Tianlan now or Wang Tianzong when Mooremans was.

But in any case, this kind of East Palace has already crushed Tiandu Purgatory in all directions. No matter from which point of view, the strength of East Palace is superior. Some of them stayed in the Heavenly Capital Purgatory, but it was hard to say which side they were leaning towards.

"Li Tianlan..."

Hua Zhengyang was silent for a while, then said softly: "I suddenly agree with the Prime Minister's point of view."

The prime minister he was talking about was naturally Chen Fangqing whose funeral was over.

"late."

Li Huacheng sighed slightly.

Now he also has this emotion.

This sentiment was not aimed at Li Tianlan.

It was an instinctive fear of a behemoth that was about to lose control from its own standpoint.

Don't say that Li Tianlan has developed to the present level.

From Li Huacheng's standpoint, even if his own son had developed to this level, he would also be worried.

"What should we do now?"

Hua Zhengyang asked.

"Prepare the car."

Li Huacheng said in a low voice, "I'm busy tonight."

He paused: "You go to the Interstellar Research Institute and see how the meeting is going over there."

Hua Zhengyang nodded silently.

The Interstellar Research Institute is a branch of the Central Continent Academy of Sciences, which gathers all the most famous astrophysicists in Central Continent. It can be said to be the authority on astrophysics in Central Continent.

The blue moon a few hours ago had already shocked the whole world.

As soon as the blue moon disappeared, countries such as Star Country, Snow Country, England, France, Germany, East Island, Bansi, and Italian Ross had contacted Central Continent immediately.

As the country with the strongest comprehensive strength in the world, Central Continent has surpassed Star Country and Snow Country in the development of astronomy in the past hundred years. The Seeker 1 interstellar probe launched by Central Continent 50 years ago is about to leave the Kuiper Belt of the solar system. Several moon landings have also yielded a lot of results.

After the blue moon incident, all countries began to communicate with Central Continent. In the Interstellar Research Institute, the astrophysics experts in Central Continent have held video conferences with elites from various countries for several hours, proposing various theories to discuss Some truths that may lie behind blue moons.

In fact, ordinary people may sneer at extraterrestrial civilizations, or they may be skeptical, or they may be convinced, but no matter what attitude they hold, very few people have really seen extraterrestrial civilizations, or they do not exist at all. boastful.

But when it comes to countries, any country will have some confidential information.

They have never actually seen extraterrestrial civilizations.

But against Interstellar, um...

To be precise, in the exploration of the solar system, each superpower has some bits and pieces of information.

Led by Zhongzhou and Xingguo, their research on the moon is quite in-depth.

During several lunar explorations, they have found some mysterious metal remains, and they have also seen the faint ruins near the lunar pyramids.

At the same time, a large amount of data have proved a fact.

That's the moon, which shouldn't exist.

There are also many ancient documents that have recorded that long, long ago, there was no moon in the sky above the earth.

These ancient texts do not refer to Middle-earth.

Instead, there are similar records in ancient documents found all over the world.

For example, the mysterious and ancient Mayan civilization that did exist.

In the chronicles of the Mayans, there are descriptions of Mars and Venus, but there are no records about the moon.

In Zhongzhou's Shan Hai Jing, the first description of the moon appeared after Emperor Xuanyuan.

There are similar records in too many documents.

All kinds of signs seem to indicate that the moon suddenly appeared out of thin air one day before the ancient and long time.

No one knows how long this period of time is. It is only speculated based on various signs that if the moon suddenly appeared out of thin air, this time should be more than 10,000 years ago.

So far, the scientific community has no accurate statement about the origin of the moon, and there are only various hypotheses.

But this blue moon time has once again aroused the enthusiasm of various countries for the moon, or anxiety. After the blue moon, several of the most powerful countries in the world gathered together to start discussions.

"Go and see the results of their discussions first. If necessary, some confidential information can be shared. Of course, other countries need to exchange confidential information. Since it is a discussion, it must be frank, especially Xingguo. You can watch this Watch."

Li Huacheng continued.

Hua Zhengyang hummed, and looked at Li Huacheng: "What about you?"

"I'm going to find Guo Wentian, and then I'm going to meet Dongcheng Wudi."

Li Huacheng shook his head: "Possible natural disasters are never as terrible as possible man-made disasters. I want Central Continent to be stable. Central Continent must also be stable."

Hua Zhengyang was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Understood."

He knew what Li Huacheng meant very well.

Li Huacheng wanted stability.

The East Palace is now the source of instability.

But from the standpoint of the East Palace, they did nothing wrong at all, and the so-called source of instability is just an illusion based on the parliament's fear of the East Palace.

Li Huacheng wanted to balance the power of the East Palace.

This also means that he needs to create an opponent for the East Palace.

Such an opponent can be weaker than the East Palace, but it must exist.

Gu Xingyun is not enough, but it is an option.

If the amount of rain on the river is not enough, it is also an option.

Li Kuangtu and Tiandu Purgatory are not enough, but they are also an option.

When this trio is combined, the pick looks like a solid one.

So Li Huacheng planned to find someone important for Li Tianlan.

But where is the current Li Tianlan still the Li Tianlan from a few years ago?

As the most powerful superpower in the dark world today, the young Donghuang sitting in Xuanyuan City really has the meaning of being invincible.

To ask someone from him, even if it is Li Huacheng, it doesn't mean that if you want someone, you can get it.

Especially in yesterday's meeting, the relationship between Li Huacheng and Li Tianlan was not very pleasant.

The sudden exposure of the Phoenix Pavilion has caused an uproar in the parliament. Everyone's heart is a little complicated. Facts have proved that during Gu Xingyun's more than 20 years as the guardian of the Central Continent, he has indeed done a lot of outrageous things secretly. Things, certain things even hurt the interests of many people to a certain extent.

Li Shi, for example, is the biggest victim.

Li's treason case more than 20 years ago is likely to be a conspiracy initiated by the Gu family, or it was a naked frame-up.

If this matter is announced, how much disturbance will it cause in Central Continent?

Li Tianlan joined the WTO at the beginning, maybe it was for this day.

Gu Xianyan has enough evidence in her hands, as long as she is willing to say it, every word she says may be a huge wave to Zhongzhou.

It was also because of this that Li Huacheng was incredulous about the collaboration between Gu Xingyun and Li Kuangtu.

He didn't ask Gu Xianyan to reveal more evidence at the meeting, which has already aroused Li Tianlan's great dissatisfaction. His actions may be for the good of Zhongzhou, but from another perspective, this is equivalent to Li Huacheng has already stated that attitude towards treason cases.

The case of treason has always been an unsolved case in Central Continent, complicated and confusing, and no one has really expressed their opinion.

But Li Huacheng's attitude was very obvious.

Whether the case of treason was true or not, he didn't want anyone to bring it up again.

This also means that Li's experience of more than 20 years, he does not allow anyone to mention it.

It is completely conceivable how intense Li Tianlan's dissatisfaction was.

Under such circumstances, Li Tianlan arrested Li Kuangtu.

Li Huacheng also decided to go to VIP with Li Tianlan.

Although Hua Zhengyang stood on the standpoint of the academic school, he could compare his heart with his heart. If he were Li Tianlan, he would think that Li Huacheng was too deceitful.

This is really kneading him as a temperless dough, what do you want to do?

Li Tianlan was young and energetic, if he really wanted to be impulsive and turn his face completely, it was very likely that both he and Zhongzhou would regret it.

It is impossible for Li Huacheng not to think of this.

So he had to visit Guo Wentian and Dongcheng Wudi overnight.

Reached a consensus with Guo Wentian to put pressure on the East Palace.

It is also necessary to reach a consensus with Dongcheng Invincible and give Donghuang Palace a huge compensation.

The compensation this time is likely to be a hemorrhage.

Rescuing Li's madman and making up for Li's years of suffering, such compensation is completely unimaginable.

At the very least, the Frontier Guard Corps, which several major groups have been fighting for, should be gone.

Hua Zhengyang sighed, shook his head, and walked out of the office.

Li Huacheng sat in the office, smoked a cigarette silently, and opened the door of the office.

Outside the office, Secretary Ma Si, who was sorting out the materials, immediately stood up.

"Let's get off work."

Before he could speak, Li Huacheng had already waved his hand: "It's very late today, I'll go to Wentian and sit down, you don't have to follow me."

Matt smiled and nodded.

"correct."

Li Huacheng suddenly asked: "Is Minister Dongcheng in Yinlonghai tonight?"

As one of the directors of Zhongzhou, Dongcheng Wudi naturally has his own residence in Yinlonghai, but he occasionally lives in Baijia Manor.

"Here I am."

Ma Si nodded: "There was something wrong with Liaodong, Chairman Bai rushed back to deal with it, and Minister Dongcheng came back here at night."

Li Huacheng nodded and hummed, went out, and walked slowly towards Guo Wentian's residence.

It was already late at night.

But the whole world does not know how many people stay up all night at this time.

The three masters besieged Li Tianlan and failed miserably.

It's a thing?

These are two entirely different things.

The first is the cooperation between Gu Xingyun and Li Kuangtu.

The second thing is Li Tianlan's unparalleled strength.

All those who know what this incident means may find it difficult to rest at this time.

This must include Guo Wentian.

 …

Guo Wentian is receiving guests.

To be precise, it is video chatting with people.

When the secretary opened the office door respectfully, Li Huacheng saw Guo Wentian with a serious and livid face pacing back and forth in the office at first sight.

A somewhat familiar voice rang out in the office accompanied by the sound of electrical current.

"Probably that's it. Fortunately, things can still be controlled. We can conduct a deep review to the parliament and disband the Phoenix Pavilion, but..."

The voice paused, and it was obvious that they had seen Li Huacheng walking in.

Guo Wentian nodded to Li Huacheng, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Li Huacheng looked around the office.

In the office, there is a huge screen that has been erected temporarily.

On the screen, the pale-faced Jiang Shangyu and Gu Xingyun were together. Before Li Huacheng came in, they were discussing about the Phoenix Pavilion.

Li Huacheng's expression was flat, and his voice lacked any emotion: "Where are you?"

"We're safe now."

Jiang Shangyu said softly.

The picture on the screen flickered from time to time, and the sound of electric current was obvious. Obviously, the signal on the other side was extremely poor, and the communication might be interrupted at any time. Li Huacheng didn't talk nonsense. He looked at Gu Xingyun, squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold Said: "How do you plan to deal with the matter of the Phoenix Pavilion?"

Gu Xingyun's face was visibly distorted.

Obviously, he still can't bear the sudden exposure of the secret organization that he has cultivated for decades.

Thinking of Gu Xianyan, the disciple he devoted himself to cultivating, Gu Xingyun clenched his fists firmly.

"I can provide a list of everyone in the Phoenix Pavilion, but it doesn't mean much."

Gu Xingyun said in a hoarse voice.

"I'll talk about this when you come back. You know your current situation, and now we..."

The picture on the screen flickered suddenly, and then went completely black.

Li Huacheng's voice froze.

"The signal over there is too bad."

Guo Wentian let out a long breath: "This is already the third time."

Li Huacheng was silent for a while, and asked, "What do they think?"

Guo Wentian sighed, rubbed his face with a wry smile, this period of time was really eventful, and he was exhausted every day: "Jiang Shangyu's meaning is obvious, I hope we will come forward to put pressure on the East Palace to return Li Kuangtu. "

"Before you came, we had already talked a lot. Tiandu Purgatory, Kunlun City, and Jiang Shangyu planned to merge into a new force and fight against the East Palace together. To be honest, I agree with this proposal. From any point of view, the East Palace has now reached the point where it must be contained. In the future, he is even more threatening than Beihai Wang. Li Tianlan is too young. In his early twenties, he has at least It will take decades to develop, and during this period of time, if the East Imperial Palace doesn't stop it, their development will be unimaginable, I think it's time to put some pressure on Li Tianlan."

"It's not enough to just put pressure on."

Li Huacheng shook his head: "It's not that Central Continent can't tolerate the East Palace. After all, from our standpoint, we just don't want an absolutely invincible force to appear. What I want has always been clear, balanced, not extinct. As long as The development of the East Imperial Palace within a controllable range is of great benefit and benefit to Zhongzhou. Because of Li Tianlan's existence, Zhongzhou may even completely unify the dark world in the next few decades. The significance of this is beyond me. Say, you know very well."

"so?"

Guo Wentian asked blankly.

"Appropriate compensation is warranted."

Li Huacheng said.

Guo Wentian sneered: "Can compensation really be appropriate?"

Li Huacheng sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said silently: "Actually, I'm not afraid that the East Palace Lion will speak loudly, but I'm afraid that he will not speak."

"Zhongzhou is indeed very strong, but you and the prime minister had some misunderstandings during your lifetime. First, you seem to be very firm in thinking that as long as Zhongzhou can make up his mind to do something, he can wipe out the East Palace and Beihai Wang. Second, you seem to think that , without Zhongzhou, the East Palace cannot survive."

"Similarly, you haven't thought about who will take their place after the East Palace and the Beihai Wang Clan are gone."

"Central Continent has the strength to eliminate the East Imperial Palace and the Beihai Wang Clan. What will happen next? As long as any force has enough strength, development is inevitable. If we eliminate the current Li Tianlan, a second Li Tianlan will appear sooner or later. If he does not develop to this extent To this extent, it only shows that he is not as potential as the current Li Tianlan, we want a super strong man who can unify the dark world, but we also require him to be absolutely loyal to us, this is impossible."

"How can an individual be absolutely loyal to a group when the individual is strong enough?"

"You have always wanted to forcibly suppress the East Palace, suppress the Beihai Wang family, put pressure, and constantly restrict, but is it really meaningful? If you really push them to a desperate situation, you have seen Wang Shengxiao's previous counterattack. What do you think of the Beihai Regiment, which has expanded to 500,000 people and is still recruiting troops?"

Guo Wentian frowned: "We are discussing the East Palace now."

"Nothing is different."

Li Huacheng said indifferently: "It's true that the East Imperial Palace doesn't have a legion of hundreds of thousands of people, but they also don't have a base that has been operating for hundreds of years. So Li Tianlan is more likely to go to extremes, and if he really pushes him to turn against us."

"Believe it or not, Xingguo and Xueguo will cry and beg Li Tianlan to join them? As long as Li Tianlan is willing, let those people kneel down to welcome Li Tianlan, those people are willing, and they don't hesitate at all. Xingguo can give Li Tianlan the same, or even more."

"That's treason!"

Guo Wentian looked angry.

"Li Tianlan once said a word in the chaos of Snow Country."

Li Huacheng said softly: "Central Continent will not fail me, and I will not fail Zhongzhou."

"Nothing is taken for granted. You can ask Li Tianlan what to do, but Li Tianlan can also ask Zhongzhou what to do. This is the rule, and it is a matter of principle. You can oppress a person without limit in the name of the overall situation, and tell the other party that the overall situation is the most important thing. This is out of principle, we might as well imagine, if things really develop to this point and Li Tianlan turns against us, what will happen?"

Guo Wentian's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.

If Li Tianlan really betrayed the country and took the core team of the East Palace to other countries...

"There are still a lot of people he cares about here. Some people, he can't take away, such as Dongcheng Wudi... As long as he dares to leave, Dongcheng Wudi's ending is completely conceivable."

Guo Wentian gritted his teeth.

"Coincidentally, as long as he drives away, we can also imagine the ending of you, me, and everyone in Central Continent. If Li Tianlan insists on killing you, who can stop him from looking at the whole world?"

Li Huacheng seemed to be laughed out of anger.

Guo Wentian was shocked, and after a long while, he let out a cold snort.

"I'm not here today to fight against you."

Li Huacheng waved his hand: "I didn't listen to your complaints, things have already happened, we really need to set up an opponent for the East Palace now, so as to better prevent them from going astray, so pressure is a must. It is necessary to go back to Li Kuangfu. But compensation is also necessary. We must first reach an agreement, and then I can communicate with Dongcheng Wudi, and talk to Li Tianlan through Dongcheng Wudi.

"It sounds like begging him."

Guo Wentian gritted his teeth.

"We can order him, but we have to divide the matter. Just from this matter, this is Li's internal affairs, and our request is a bit excessive in his opinion."

Li Hua wanted to be calm.

Guo Wentian stared at him blankly, and after a while, he gritted his teeth suddenly and said, "Then what do you want to give him?"

"Shouldn't think so."

Li Huacheng looked up at him: "It should be said, give him something, so that he can let him go willingly. Or, there is something that we can exchange with him."

 …

The night of Ulan Kingdom shrouded in the extreme night seems to reveal a kind of bottomless abyss.

Snowflakes fluttered in the air and fell into the staggered lights of the Snow Dance Legion's garrison.

Thousands of elites from the Snow Dance Legion are still stabilizing the situation in the Dark Knights.

And there are still nearly 10,000 elites standing silently here.

When Huo Man came outside the deputy army chief's office, the secretary was walking from the corner of the stairs carrying a large lunch box. There was a little bit of heat from the edge of the lunch box, which made people feel very friendly and warm.

Seeing Huo Nan, the secretary froze for a moment, then subconsciously raised his hand to salute.

"What's delicious? The eagle has extra food tonight?"

The fire man smiled and asked casually.

"A few small stir-fries, two catties of rice, the general has been busy since morning, and he just has some free time."

The secretary smiled.

"give it to me."

The fire man took the lunch box casually and waved his hand: "Go and do your work."

The secretary hesitated for a moment, nodded, and returned to his seat. He was originally a junior officer of the Thunder Corps. After coming to the Snow Dance Corps, he became Li Tianying's secretary by chance. He knew a lot about Li's affairs. I don't know very well, but the relationship between Huo Nan and his boss was very good last time. He knows this. Both of them were born in the Li family. Occasionally, when they are free, they often sit together and reminisce about the past. Unfortunately, the army station Not being able to drink alcohol made Li Tianying feel a little regretful all the time.

Huo Nan casually knocked on the door of the deputy army commander's office, and before waiting for a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in.

Li Tianying was sitting on the sofa in the office watching the news of Ulan Kingdom, with a rigorous and serious expression. When he saw Huo Nan, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I am paid a bit high as the deputy head of the army. Combat staff officer as secretary, this specification, good guy..."

"I'm flattering the leader in advance, so you won't have to wear little shoes for me in the future, old boy."

Huo Nan snorted coldly, put the lunch box on the table and opened it. There was only one set of bowls and chopsticks inside.

"As far as your virtue is concerned, I will stuff you with a lot of little shoes in the future."

Li Tianying laughed, and took another pair of bowls and chopsticks to enjoy dinner.

Regarding the matter of the Central Continental Army Corps in Europe, the parliament fully respected Dongcheng Wudi's opinion, and they all knew that this was Li Tianlan's territory, so from the beginning to the end, the other major groups, even the Prince's Group, did not express anything about the personnel here. view.

Cheng Huining, the chief officer of the Army Corps in Europe, has been here for several years. It is time to make a move. Dongcheng Invincible relies heavily on him, and his transfer will be proposed in the near future. Taking advantage of the precarious situation of the Special Operations Group During this period of time, Dongcheng Invincible hopes to completely eliminate the influence left by his predecessor Qi Beicang, so Cheng Huining should be transferred back to Youzhou, promoted to a higher rank, and succeed Bai Qingchao's current position, or succeed Ye Qingchao. The location left by Dongsheng.

Li Tianying served as the highest officer of the Army Corps in Europe.

As one of the strongest veterans left by the Li family today, Li Tianying is undoubtedly half-step invincible, and he is a very top-notch one. Without enough strength, Zhongzhou would not have used his name as an official a few decades ago. A special unit designation.

He was originally a candidate proposed by Dongcheng Invincible to compete for the commander of the Frontier Guard Corps. Now that the conditions are not mature, it is not a bad thing to spend a little time in Europe.

Although Huo Nan is in the Burning Fire Realm, his strength is not inferior to that of Li Tianying. After Li Tianying takes control of the European garrison, Huo Nan will become the new head of the Xuewu Legion. Of course, it is also possible that Li Tianying is also the head of the Xuewu Legion. Huo Nan became the deputy head of the army, just like the relationship between Cheng Huining and Li Tianying today, but no matter what the position is, Huo Nan will be the leader of the Xuewu Army in the future.

And this place will gradually become a gathering place for the Li family veterans of the East Palace.

"You look in a good mood?"

Huo Nan was eating, looked at the old man with a smile on his mouth, and asked thoughtfully.

"Um?"

Li Tianying was puzzled: "I've always been in a good mood, is there something in your words?"

The fire man didn't speak for a while.

"I know you're fine and won't look for me, so tell me, what's going on?"

Li Tianying picked up a chopstick of fried pork with chili, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose as he ate it.

"You should have received the message, too?"

The fire man asked calmly.

Li Tianying's movements stopped slightly, and after a while, he said slowly: "About the young master?"

"Which young master?"

The fire man asked directly, with a very direct tone.

Little Lord.

It's an interesting title.

Li Tianying and Huo Nan are both in their sixties, older than Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan. Both of them used to be direct descendants of Li Honghe, especially Huo Nan, who was one of the sacred guards around Li Honghe back then. , After Li Kuangtu broke through and entered the invincible realm, Huo Nan followed Li Kuangtu and became the holy guard beside Li Kuangtu.

From the point of view of the two, starting from Li Honghe, Li Tianlan is undoubtedly the young master, and Li Kuangtu can also be regarded as the young master back then.

Li Tianying put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Huo Nan silently, and after several minutes, he said calmly, "What do you mean?"

The fire man smiled, and asked the question again: "You should have received the news, too?"

Li Tianying frowned, a little impatiently: "What do you want to say?"

"have no idea."

The fire man shook his head: "I'm a little at a loss, I don't know what to say, I always feel uncomfortable."

Li Tianying smiled suddenly, picked up the bowl and chopsticks again: "You see, I am in a good mood now."

"Yeah, I'm quite envious to see you like this."

The fire man said softly.

"Because I never think about it that much. One thing I know very well is that I belong to the Li family. Thirty years ago, when I was on a mission in Hengguo, if Mr. Li hadn't helped me, I would have I have been buried in a foreign country long ago. From that day on, I told myself that I belong to the Li family. The Li family is very good, and it is good at any time. I have experienced the peak of the Li family's overwhelming response During the period, I also stayed in the border with Mr. Li incognito for many years, ups and downs, I have experienced everything that should be experienced, no matter what kind of Li family, Li family is very good."

"I like staying in Li's, and I never thought about leaving, so what are you thinking about so much?"

Li Tianying said casually.

Huo Nan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Thinking too much doesn't mean you want to leave Li Shi."

"I don't want to leave, why do you think so much?"

Li Tianying's voice was a bit cold: "Before Mr. Li died, he clearly said that Tianlan is the heir of the Li family. This is Mr. Li's will. I don't care about the rest. But anyone who doesn't agree with Mr. Li's will, regardless of him Whoever it is is my enemy, the kind who will never die."

"So you are indifferent to Tianlan's arrest of the fanatic?"

The fire man's voice was a bit complicated.

Li Tianying was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I have never liked madmen very much. It was like this back then, and everything was taken to extremes. Such a person may succeed in everything, but once he fails once, it is very difficult. It’s hard to stand up. Facts have proved that my opinion is correct, and a large part of the reason why he is today is because of his character.”

"I don't like him, I don't approve of him, and Li's real heir is not him, so why should I care?"

"Even if Tian Lan kills him?"

The fire man asked abruptly.

Li Tianying was slightly taken aback, and stopped at the spot with his chopsticks in hand, frowning in silence.

"if..."

He put down the bowls and chopsticks: "If Tianlan really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be captured and returned to the East Palace. You should be very clear about this."

"really."

Huo Nan nodded: "But just in case. He is indeed alive now, but who can predict the next development?"

"If Tianlan is impulsive..."

"Then kill it. If you die, you will die, and you will be clean."

Li Tianying suddenly said something.

"..."

Huo Nan raised his head and looked at Li Tianying in astonishment.

Li Tianying smiled, that smile was a bit cold.

He asked the exact same question as Fireman.

"You should have received the message, too?"

The fire man frowned slightly.

"Don't you think this news is very interesting?"

Li Tianying asked.

"The news should have been released by Jiang Shangyu."

Huo Nan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This news, huh, the first thing is to tell the Central Continent Council. After the Council knows about this, it must take action. Tianlan is too strong in Central Continent now, and they need someone who can Candidates to check and balance Tianlan. Second, they are telling us these old people of the Li family that we hope we can put pressure on Tianlan. Third..."

The corner of Huo Nan's mouth twitched: "It should be for the purpose of provoking Tianlan. If Tianlan kills the madman on impulse, not only Zhongzhou will be disappointed, but we will also be disappointed. Maybe many stories will happen then .”

"I'm not disappointed at all."

Li Tianying suddenly said.

"Um?"

Fireman frowned.

"I mean..."

Li Tianying looked at Huo Nan: "Don't you think this news is very interesting?"

"Jiang Shangyu, Li Kuangtu, and Gu Xingyun join forces."

He stared into Huo Nan's eyes: "Crazy Li, Gu Xingyun join forces!!!"

Fire Man:! ! !

"Hehe, team up..."

Li Tianying laughed, but his eyes were extremely cold: "After the treason case back then, Mr. Li gathered all the strength he could muster in a short period of time and took us to the border. Do you know the exact number of people there? "

"I know."

Li Tianying tapped his chest vigorously: "1,983 people."

"Twenty years! In twenty years, one hundred and thirty-three people in the Li family died of natural causes. When I say natural death, I mean a natural death due to illness, old injury, dark wound attack, and unconditional medical treatment. At that time, The ones in our camp who didn’t have a vial of penicillin died.”

Fire Man: "..."

"Over the past twenty years, more than 800 brothers have gone to Heaven's Purgatory."

"And when the young master left the border for Huating a few years ago, there were more than a hundred of Li's brothers in the border camp."

Fire Man:! ! !

Li Tianying's voice was very calm.

Calm to the extreme, itself is a kind of hysterical madness.

"Tell me, where are the others?"

The fire man has nothing to say.

"Do you think Kunlun City will let us go when we reach the border? Killing the grass and roots, those brothers who really died are the best answer."

"For more than twenty years, ups and downs, the so-called bitter life we ​​have lived, I like it, I am willing! I think this kind of life is very good. But except for myself, except for my brother who shared weal and woe, no one else Qualifications tell me: days like this are good."

"All of this is because of Gu Xingyun, because of Kunlun City, and because of Li Kuangtu himself."

"I never resented him, and none of us resented Li Kuangtu. Until today."

"And now, what am I hearing?"

"It's Kuangtu Li who joined forces with Gu Xingyun!"

"Tianlan left the border just to restore the glory of the Li family, to avenge Li's lunatics, to destroy Kunlun City, and to return everything that our Li family has endured for more than 20 years."

"And now, the instigator of everything, Li Kuangtu, has teamed up with Gu Xingyun."

"He's targeting the people of the Li family, the heirs designated by Mr. Li, the people who want to avenge him, the people who want to get back all the honor he lost!"

"Fucking team up!"

"Bang! Crash..."

Li Tianying directly overturned the table in front of him.

Vegetables, rice, pieces of meat, bowls and chopsticks, lunch boxes, everything hit the wall with a loud crash.

"What is everything we have suffered in the past twenty years?"

"What are those brothers who are really buried at the border?"

"What are your years in the desert prison?"

"He teamed up with Gu Xingyun, hehe, hehe, haha, what the hell is this?"

"When he teamed up with Gu Xingyun, did he ever think about the brothers standing behind him who are still in Purgatory?"

"Ever wondered what happened to us at the border?"

"Have you ever thought about his old man and his family who once stood at the peak of Central Continent, but because of him, they fell down and lingered on the border?"

"Oh, maybe I have thought about it. I think I should have thought about it, and then he told Gu Xingyun on behalf of Mrs. Li, Mr. Li, and each of us, dead and alive, on behalf of Mrs. Li: On behalf of Mrs. Li, I forgive you for what you have done, and let's deal with Li Tianlan."

"He deserves it too?!"

"Unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous, I will be disappointed if Tianlan kills him? I am not disappointed, I will celebrate it!"

Amid the hasty knock on the door, the secretary who heard the movement directly pushed open the office door.

Li Tianying waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm calling for a meal, I'll celebrate."

The fire man's mouth twitched in embarrassment.

Embarrassment showed in his whole being.

He couldn't say that he could understand Li Tianying's mood.

Because there is no real empathy.

What he remembered was all the good things he had with Li Kuangtu back then, that friendship.

But what Li Tianying remembered was everything he had endured when he was at the border.

Friendship?

The moment he heard that Kuangtu Li and Gu Xingyun joined forces, the so-called friendship seemed to have completely disappeared.

Seeing Li Tianying's excited expression, Huo Nan sighed deeply.

He had every reason to believe that Li Tianying was definitely not the only one who gave up on Li Kuangtu from his heart after learning that Li Kuangtu had teamed up with Gu Xingyun.

There are more veterans of the Li family who will have this idea.

give up?

Or maybe it's not called giving up at all.

Because from the moment Li Kuangtu joined forces with Gu Xingyun, he seemed to have given up on Li's identity, as well as the grievances and resentments between Li and Kunlun City.

And this is exactly what Li Shi has insisted on for many years, until now.
