The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 216: Hollow card and successor

When the sky was just dawning, Dongcheng Wudi opened his eyes, and found that the warm and fragrant body around him seemed to have been away for a long time, and half of the quilt had become cold, just like the feeling of many years in the past.

He was in a daze for a while, as if he wasn't sure whether it was reality or a dream. After more than ten seconds, he smiled at himself, sat up slowly, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

The light is on in the corridor of the villa outside the door, because it is the fourth floor, in a relatively private space, the small reception area at the corner at the end of the corridor has been transformed into a small kitchen, and the slight noise is transmitted along with the aroma. Dongcheng Wudi sniffled, his expression becoming softer.

Bai Qingqian, who got up early, was frying eggs in the small kitchen. There was porridge on the side, and a few fried pancakes that had been finished and had a strange shape.

"hungry?"

Dongcheng Wudi walked to the kitchen, looked at his wife, and laughed: "If you're waiting for a while, Mrs. Wu probably got up too, why is she cooking herself today?"

"Just made breakfast for the two of us."

Wearing an apron, Bai Qingqian put the fried eggs on the plate and said softly, "I'm on the plane this afternoon and evening."

Dongcheng Invincible was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Bai Qingqian is the speaker of Liaodong, so it is impossible for her to stay in Youzhou permanently. During this time, she has been holding meetings in Youzhou. The general election is less than a year away, and she is very sensitive in every aspect. She will go to Yinlonghai today Participating in a meeting of the Central Continent Speaker is also the highlight of this series of meetings, and it can even be said to be the finale meeting.

This meeting can basically determine some things that all parties have already prepared for, and even determine Bai Qingqian's new position after the general election.

Then she will rush back to Liaodong overnight.

When the husband and wife meet next time, it is estimated that it will be the general election in October next year.

"It may be too late to see you off. It depends on the situation. I will try my best to spare time."

Dongcheng Invincible was silent for a while, and said softly.

"No need."

Bai Qingqian filled two bowls of porridge, made some delicate and delicious side dishes and put them on the table: "You can do what you have to do, and I will try to come back and have a look during the Spring Festival."

Dongcheng Wudi smiled wryly and shook his head. The Spring Festival is a holiday for ordinary people.

But for them, they can't be free at all, especially in the year before the general election, it is basically impossible for the speakers of various places to leave their jobs, and even if Bai Qingqian can really come back, Dongcheng Invincible will be too busy during the new year. On behalf of the military department, he will go to various parts of Central Continent to pay New Year's greetings to the soldiers and inspect the work. The chances of the two meeting each other are not great.

"Reluctant?"

Bai Qingqian sat down, raised her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile: "It's only a year at most, and I can go back to Youzhou. I can't wait for a year?"

"What year is this?"

Dongcheng Wudi sighed, frowning, and no longer had the slightest murderous demeanor: "This made me wait for more than twenty years before I tasted the sweetness, I..."

Bai Qingqian's face turned red, and he picked up the chopsticks and knocked Dongcheng Wudi in anger, and said bitterly, "I'll let you talk nonsense."

"That's the truth."

Dongcheng Invincible felt helpless.

Holding the chopsticks, Bai Qingqian's face became more and more rosy. The relationship between the two had been stiff for more than twenty years, and it was almost a state of turning their faces into enemies. Although the relationship had eased up a little bit in the past few years, as a husband and wife, the real It was only recently that we started sharing the same bed, Dongcheng Wudi was reluctant to part with it, and Bai Qingqian naturally didn't want to leave, but he had the responsibility, so what if he didn't leave?

She lowered her head and took a sip of porridge, then said calmly, "Aren't the Black Dragon Army in Longjiang?"

"yes."

Dongcheng Invincible nodded subconsciously.

Bai Qingqian glared at him: "I can't come back for the Spring Festival, your Spring Festival

Can't we inspect the Northeast? "

"ah."

Dongcheng Wudi reacted abruptly, and nodded with a silly smile: "Yes, that's right, that's it. I'll go to your place for inspection during the Spring Festival."

Bai Qingqian snorted softly, drank the porridge, and asked casually, "After the general election, your part-time job should be removed, right?"

"Um."

Dongcheng Wudi nodded: "It doesn't have to be after the general election, it might be before."

He is the permanent minister of the military department, and part-time the head of the frontier regiment.

In the entire military headquarters, the Frontier Guard Corps occupies an extremely important core position, and the rank of Marshal of the regiment commander is enough to show that Zhongzhou attaches great importance to the Frontier Guard Corps. After Di Jiang resigned, Dongcheng Invincible has been holding such a post concurrently. This part-time job exceeds It has been a miracle for two years. Before and after the general election, Dongcheng Invincible will definitely step down from this position.

The academic faction, the Southeast Group, and the Prince's Group are not willing to continue to let this position be in the hands of Dongcheng Invincible.

Dongcheng Invincible's prestige is too high, especially in the Border Guard Corps. He has been the commander of the army for more than 20 years, and he is completely the soul and core of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Border Guard Corps. As long as he is still in the frontier regiment, even if it is just a soldier, as long as he is there, there is no room for others to intervene in the frontier regiment.

Other cliques would rather let a person who is also from a wealthy clique take control of the Frontier Guard Corps than to see Dongcheng Invincible continue to occupy this position.

Especially the Southeast Group, this position was originally traded from the Dongcheng family through untold hardships, and finally given away. The frustration and helplessness in it are indescribable, and they naturally want to take back the border guards. Some right to speak.

This position has now become an important bargaining chip for the wealthy group to trade with all parties in the general election, and the benefits that can be traded have even exceeded expectations.

"What about the successor?"

Bai Qingqian said softly: "Is it the Eagle King of the Li clan? Or the God of Thunder?"

This issue is also the focus of many people's attention, and it can also be said to be the most sensitive focus before and after the general election.

Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath, frowned, shook his head after a while, and said: "It's hard to say now, the qualifications of Eagle King are enough, but some people are talking about his lack of experience in leading the army for so many years, Lei Zi's qualifications are slightly It’s a bit worse, and they’re not even generals. In short, there is resistance in front of the two of them. In this regard, although we cooperate with Southeast, Southeast also has something to say. After all, they are not very opposed to King Ying or Leizi. Anyone can go up, what they want is some other positions in the frontier regiment after the two go up."

"So we can push any one of them now, and then it's nothing more than a deal. The reason why this appointment is not made now is because there is no new balance. To be honest, we can hand over some positions, but we don't want to give too much. Many, the current situation is very simple, whether it is going to the Eagle King or Leizi, we must at least give more than one-third, or even nearly half, of the right to speak to the frontier guards. The price is too high. And the border guards The Legion has a special status and special responsibilities, and such a transaction is not a good thing for the Legion."

Bai Qingqian blinked, and said softly: "So, what you said to your eldest brother is true?"

Dongcheng Wudi was stunned before he remembered what he had said to Bai Qingchao before. He hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "I have also communicated with the two old men about this matter, but I haven't made a decision yet."

Dongcheng Invincible paused, and said thoughtfully: "The most important thing now is the result of the Beihai decisive battle. If Tianlan's performance is strong enough, the Frontier Guard Corps will have the most perfect candidate."

The Frontier Guard Corps is too large. In a sense, it can almost be said to be the most important large-scale integrated army in Central Continent.

Group, none of them.

For such a behemoth, both Eagle King and Thunder God have problems of one kind or another, and the East Palace is extremely powerful now, so such problems cannot be an obstacle, but if they want to achieve their goals, the wealthy group also needs to pay some price.

Under such circumstances, the most correct way for the wealthy group is to bypass the Eagle King and Thor, and directly introduce a person who is extremely perfect and strong in all aspects, so strong that once the wealthy group introduces this candidate, then all aspects will be perfect. People who can't find a reason to object come out.

As long as he is pushed out, everyone will take it for granted that he is the new head of the Frontier Guard Corps, the most suitable, and even irreplaceable.

Such people are hard to find.

The most suitable means that there is only one.

Compared with the major groups in Central Continent, there is only one such person.

Hard to find.

But it doesn't mean that the wealthy group doesn't have one.

Dongcheng Wudi has always had such a hole card in his hands, and has been hesitating whether to play it or not.

When this card is played, no one will object, and no one is qualified to object. This also means that in the handover of the highest power of the Frontier Guard Corps, the price that the wealthy group needs to pay to other groups is much, much smaller.

If only this card is played, the wealthy group may also lose another hole card, which will also cause some troubles.

Therefore, Dongcheng Invincible needs some new situations. The situation formed after the decisive battle in Beihai is undoubtedly a good entry point.

But the premise is that the situation after the decisive battle is in line with expectations.

"Tianlan..."

There was some worry in Bai Qingqian's eyes: "Someone outside has already called him Your Majesty, is he really invincible? As in the rumors?"

The decisive battle in Beihai is the key point, and it is also the beginning of the Eastern Palace Dynasty. Li Tianlan must be in it, this is a step he must take.

Bai Qingqian couldn't stop it, and never thought about it, but the worries in her heart never let go.

It is said that there are several invincible masters involved in the decisive battle this time, and none of them will stand on Beihai's side.

Li Tianlan has not yet entered the invincible realm...

"Don't worry."

Dongcheng Wudi was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Tianlan has grown to the point where he is now, and the worst result can guarantee that he can retreat in a decisive battle."

Bai Qingqian nodded preoccupied, and just about to say something, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her early fifties had already walked up quietly.

Bai Qingqian looked back, a little surprised, and said softly, "Sister-in-law Wu, what's the matter?"

"Speaker, I was just about to cook, and I saw someone standing outside, standing like that, not moving. I asked the minister's guard, and they said she was standing there in the middle of the night. The guard asked, who was the other party?" I want to find you, but don't want anyone to disturb your rest, ah, I've been standing there for several hours."

Bai Qingqian stood up in a daze, and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. Ask who she is, and she won't tell."

Aunt Wu shook her head.

Bai Qing frowned slightly, and looked at Dong Cheng Wudi.

The two got up and went downstairs at the same time, and turned on the manor surveillance in the living room.

In the cold morning wind, a thin figure appeared on the screen.

Quiet, soft, stunning, elegant.

Bai Qingqian glanced at it, the first feeling was that he didn't know him, but then he felt a little familiar.

She thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise, "Li Xi?!"

Dongcheng Wudi nodded, and said softly: "It seems to be true."
