Li Tianlan glanced at Li Huazhang in surprise.

For this cousin, because he left early that year, he no longer had a deep impression, and naturally it was impossible to judge his position. However, at this time, the other party's attitude was extremely clear, and he clearly chose to stand on his side.

Li Tianlan looked at the crowd surrounding Li Huazhang again.

The dozen or so people were not a large-scale gang in Tiandu Purgatory, but several of them were very familiar to Li Tianlan. When Li Tianlan looked over, they nodded slightly, raised the corners of their mouths, and showed a smile.

"Counsel Li, when Mr. Li passed away, Young Master Hua Wu had not yet been born, so Mr. Li chose to let His Majesty Dong Huang temporarily control the Li family."

The chubby Zuo Keqing took a deep look at Li Huazhang: "I still say the same thing. The Li family is the Li family of the Li family. Naturally, the Li family should inherit it. Now the Li family is divided into two and has become the East Palace.

and Tiandu Purgatory, this is definitely not a situation that Mr. Li wants to see. If he were still here, he would definitely hope that Young Master Hua Wu could slowly integrate the power of Tiandu Purgatory and the East Palace to make the Li family strong again.

stand up."

"I am from the Li family."

Li Huazhang said in a cold voice: "But who doesn't know that the Li family's current power is mainly concentrated in Tiandu Purgatory. The East Palace is the foundation laid down by Tianlan, and their main body is the Reincarnation Palace. What does it have to do with the Li family? Zuo

Guest, I understand that you regard Hua Wu as the young master of Tiandu Purgatory. But the Li family is the Li family of Tianlan, and the East Palace is also the East Palace of Tianlan. We do not argue whether Hua Wu inherits the Li family.

Qualifications, at least, he is not qualified to inherit the Eastern Palace."

"joke!"

A somewhat sharp voice sounded from behind the crowd.

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc that was almost difficult to detect.

coming.

The purpose of his coming here today is to see what kind of monsters and monsters there are in Tiandu Purgatory now. The more such people come out, the better.

An old man who looked close to sixty years old walked out of the separated crowd and said coldly: "Isn't there the power of the Li family in the East Palace? The foundation of the East Palace was laid by the Li family, and later the Palace of Reincarnation

I joined because of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor."

The old man paused, looked directly into Li Tianlan's eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, do you think that you no longer belong to the Li family and are just Donghuang?"

Li Tianlan looked at him quietly.

The old man in front of me looks the same as Zuo Keqing, but they are completely different.

The latter's eyes were calm when he stood up.

But the old man in front of him had flashing eyes, obviously with other calculations.

"Who are you?"

Li Tianlan asked directly.

"Codename Tengu."

The old man smiled and said: "Thanks to His Highness Kuangtu Li, I joined Tiandu Purgatory five years ago and am now the Chief of Staff of Tiandu Purgatory."

"So, you are not from the Li family?"

Li Tianlan's voice was cold.

"Tiandu Purgatory belongs to the Li family. I belong to Tiandu Purgatory, and naturally I also belong to the Li family."

Tengu said with a smile: "I just don't know if His Majesty Donghuang still recognizes his identity as a member of the Li family?"

"I naturally belong to the Li family."

Li Tianlan sneered.

Li Huazhang frowned slightly and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Tengu nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, just admit it. You are naturally a member of the Li family, but you are not a member of the Li family. I don't know this, do you admit it?"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Li Tianlan frowned.

The Tengu seemed to be completely relaxed and sneered: "I have talked about this with His Highness Li Kuangtu. Your Majesty once claimed to be the legitimate grandson of Mr. Li, and everyone regarded you as the young master of the Li family. That's why you have

Current status. In other words, all of us believe that His Highness Li Kuangtu is your biological father."

"But what's the truth? Your Highness Li Kuangtu told me personally that you have no blood relationship with him. Mr. Li only has one son, Your Highness, but Your Majesty is not His Highness's son, so are you considered a member of the Li family?"

The commotion in the crowd eerily calmed down.

This matter is no longer a secret, especially for Tiandu Purgatory, it is an open matter.

The East Palace is in full bloom.

However, Tiandu Purgatory has been in decline over the past two years.

In order to stabilize his position, Li Kuangtu had already made this matter public.

This is also one of the reasons why some elders of the Li family are in a dilemma when they yearn for Li Tianlan but stay in Tiandu Purgatory.

Li Tianlan did not speak, but looked at Tiangu silently, seemingly unable to refute.

The Tengu's smile gradually widened, and the expression on his old face that already had some wrinkles gradually became a bit playful.

He believed that Li Tianlan would not dare to kill him today.

If it had been when he first appeared, it would still be possible for Li Tianlan to suddenly take action.

But now he has named Li Tianlan's identity.

He is a member of the Li family, but he is also an outsider to the Li family.

Under this premise, if Li Tianlan kills him, it will only make people think that he is angry and embarrassed, and may even cause public outrage.

The most important thing is that Kuangtu Li is now dead.

If Kuangtu Li was alive, the Tengu would naturally not dare to stand up and make irresponsible remarks.

But now that Kuangtu Li is dead, Tengu steps forward and becomes a hero who fully protects Kuangtu Li's widow and young child. This status is enough to make Li Tianlan dare not kill him.

From this standpoint, once Li Tianlan kills him, he will never be able to conquer Tiandu Purgatory again.

When he stood up to defend the interests of Fenghuang and Li Huawu, he was safeguarding the interests of the Li family. No matter what everyone's specific stance was, there were absolutely very few people who really wanted Li Tianlan to kill Li Huawu, and even Li Huazhang would not agree.

He could reluctantly accept that it was not easy for Li Tianlan to kill Li Kuangtu, and it was natural that the two sides were hostile and had life and death issues. However, Li Huawu was only a two-year-old child and was of Li blood. Now he pointed out that Li Tianlan was an outsider. These

How could anyone tolerate Li Tianlan killing Li Huawu?

As long as Li Tianlan can't touch Li Huawu's mother and son, then he can't touch his Tiangu.

To a certain extent, he and Zuo Xian are the same, but they are completely different.

Zuo Xian is just a guest of Tiandu Purgatory. His status is not low, but it cannot be said to be too high. He can only be regarded as a senior member of Tiandu Purgatory and a core member. He stood up to defend Li Huawu and his son, and even had the audacity to Jiangdong Palace.

Treating him as a part of the Li family means advancing before retreating. He is extremely loyal to Kuangtu Li. All he does is try his best to protect the interests of Tiandu Purgatory. Naturally, he will not want the East Palace. All he wants is to do his best.

To protect a small part of Tiandu Purgatory's core interests, Li Huawu still has hope for a comeback in the future.

Tengu is the chief of staff of Tiandu Purgatory. He is the absolute core high-level executive of Tiandu Purgatory. His power position can be said to be among the top five. In terms of strength, compared to Li Ming, Tengu is not inferior at all. He protects Li Huawu and his son.

It can also be said that he is advancing at the expense of retreat, but what he wants is to protect the entire Tiandu Purgatory.

Who doesn’t know about Li Tianlan’s life experience in Tiandu Purgatory?

Zuo Xian naturally knew it, but he knew it but didn't say it.

But Tengu directly pointed this out.

Just from the difference in this point, it can be seen that the motivations of the two are completely different.

The former is really to protect the Lord.

The latter, on the other hand, creates a situation that is beneficial to themselves and then competes for benefits.

The playful expression on the Tengu's face became more and more obvious.

Today's situation is simply a good thing for him. If he doesn't grasp it, he is afraid that he will be struck by lightning.

"As far as I know, Your Majesty is just a child adopted by Mr. Li back then."

"Lao Li taught His Majesty martial arts and raised His Majesty as an adult. He also sincerely hopes that Your Majesty can help the Li family to rise."

Tengu smiled and continued: "Everyone knows many things, but there are also many things that everyone does not know. His Highness Li Kuangtu talked to me a lot during his lifetime. Today, I will talk to you.

Let’s talk about Mr. Li.”

"In order to revive the Li family, Mr. Li made third-hand arrangements back then."

"The first-hand arrangement was naturally His Majesty. He kept Your Majesty by his side and taught Li everything he had learned."

"And his second-hand arrangement is Tiandu Purgatory. He constantly arranged for veterans of the Li family to fake death and escape and join Tiandu Purgatory, which is why he has the current arrangement."

"What we are going to talk about now is the third-hand arrangement. Mr. Li secretly adopted an adopted daughter. He also passed on all the Li family's secrets, including Sword Twenty-Four, to her, and has maintained a relationship with her for many years.

Secret connection, at the same time, Mr. Li also transferred one of Li’s works from that year

The property was secretly handed over to this adopted daughter."

"On this point, apart from Mr. Li and the adopted daughter, only His Highness Kuangtu Li knows about the existence of his adopted daughter."

"The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good. Although they don't meet often, they share the same goals and are both talented."
