The ship is turbulent, the water is undulating, the blood-red setting sun is slowly silent on the sea as far as the eye can see, the clouds in the distance are still shining with the afterglow of day, but the surrounding sky has begun to gradually dim.
Gu Xingyun opened his eyes from meditation and felt that his energy had recovered a little.
The pain in various parts of the body still exists.
All the internal organs were twitching slightly with breathing.
The heartbeat is much faster than normal.
Gu Xingyun silently felt the injuries on his body, his face expressionless.
Since being severely wounded by Situ Cangyue with his fierce soldiers in Lin'an a few years ago, the light of the entire Kunlun City seems to have completely dimmed. All the sharpness of the Central Continent Special Warfare Center seems to have disappeared, until he was officially defeated not long ago.
After giving Li Tianlan a sword energy clone, all the honor and dignity that Kunlun City had worked hard to maintain over the years seemed to have completely vanished in that moment.
People who take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury can be seen everywhere.
As the treason case of the special warfare group became more and more serious, almost everyone paying attention to this incident began to slowly jump out to compete for the interests of the special warfare group.
The losses are multifaceted.
Job transformation in the special operations system.
Positions within the group changed hands.
The business sector has been annexed and annexed.
The whole group is in panic.
The tree fell and the hozens scattered.
The situation of the special warfare group was getting worse day by day. When he was at his most desperate, Gu Xingyun, who was extremely cold-hearted, really thought about leaving Central Continent with a lot of secrets from Central Continent.
Annan was not the only one who started to contact him secretly.
There is even a superpower like the Star Kingdom whose overall strength in the world is second only to Central Continent.
The promise of this superpower is naturally not as good as that of Annan, but now that the masters of the dark world are withering, his strength, which is infinitely close to the peak of invincibility, is worthy of the position of a national protector of war in any country except Central Continent.
And a superpower like Xingguo can undoubtedly ensure the safety of Gu Xingyun and the entire Gu clan.
Gu Xingyun's heart was ready to move.
He was almost ready to make a decision.
But every time he thought of the Eastern Palace, his determination would always be completely shaken.
In the face of traitors, Zhongzhou has never been polite at all. This is truly zero tolerance.
If it were before, Gu Xingyun might not have so many worries.
But Li Tianlan's rapid rise is enough to make everyone feel uneasy. The increasingly close cooperation between the East Palace and Zhongzhou has already said that
We understand a fact that no one can deny: Zhongzhou with Li Tianlan has the power to kill anyone at any time and anywhere.
What is the value of a top master? What is the deterrent power of a top master? This is it.
In an era of nuclear deterrence, it is almost impossible for a truly large-scale global war to occur. Even if Gu Xingyun is treasonous, Zhongzhou is unlikely to start a war involving the whole world.
A division, a legion, a war zone, millions of troops, countless high-tech weapons...
These are not enough for Zhongzhou to break into the Star Kingdom and kill the treasonous Gu Xingyun.
But Li Tianlan can do this.
Then it stands to reason that he has more important value and more powerful deterrence than a million-strong army and countless high-tech weapons.
Gu Xingyun knew this very well.
He knew that if he rebelled against the country, he would die no matter where he was.
But if he leaves Zhongzhou, even if he will perish, at least his Gu clan will still have a certain living space.
If he stayed in Zhongzhou and waited until Li Tianlan dismantled the special warfare group, he and the entire Gu clan would die without a burial place.
Gu Xingyun faced an extremely important choice.
Either rely on the special warfare group to fight against the Eastern Palace to the end, and your life or death will depend on it.
Either sacrifice yourself and let the Gu clan leave Central Continent to lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity to rise again.
No one can make an easy choice.
Gu Xingyun didn't really make up his mind until the decisive battle in Beihai was over.
Just when he was most hesitant and confused, Jiang Shangyu called.
So Gu Xingyun appeared on that small island, so he appeared here, preparing to return to Central Continent.
Cooperate with Li Kuangtu.
Give up most of the positions of the special operations group.
These were very difficult for him to accept.
But Jiang Shangyu made him a promise he couldn't refuse.
A promise that he still felt was worth it even after it cost him so much.
Night enveloped the ocean.
Gu Xingyun stood up, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Uncle, I am Gu Ci."
A calm and gentle voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"Please compile a list of important personnel within the group and prepare a copy of each person's information in more detail."
Gu Xingyun slowly opened his mouth and said.
special warfare group
He naturally has a list of important internal personnel in his mind, but now he needs to connect all these people together, see the current structure of the entire special operations group from the clearest perspective, and then directly break up this structure completely.
Of course, Gu Ci is not his nephew, but the relationship is not far away. Originally, the existence of Gu Hanshan obscured the talents of the younger generation of Kunlun City, but Gu Hanshan lost to Li Tianlan in the final exercise of the two houses a few years ago.
The years have been stagnant, and the realm of martial arts has not advanced but retreated, and the whole person has become more and more decadent. In the past few years, Gu Xingyun has either been recovering from his injuries or dealing with open and secret arrows from all sides. With Gu Hanshan
We have talked about it, but how can we have time to pay attention to it? Under such circumstances, the younger generation of Kunlun City has gradually begun to emerge, and Gu Ci is the most outstanding one. He is close to thirty years old and his realm of Thunder Realm is not considered top-notch.
He is a genius, but he is thoughtful, calm, and well-founded. Seeing him, Gu Xingyun seemed to see his younger self. He has been keeping him by his side for this period of time, and now he is his secretary.
"OK."
Gu Ci responded.
Gu Xingyun nodded, thought for a while, and continued: "In addition, for everyone on this list, I need your evaluation of them. I will return to Kunlun City before dawn, and I will see the specific information then.
"
"Understood."
Gu Ci said something, and seeing that Gu Xingyun had no other instructions, he hung up the phone.
Gu Xingyun put down his cell phone and looked at the sea in the distance at night, as silent as a statue.
The special operations group was his lifelong effort and the fortress he devoted all his efforts to build.
And this fortress is about to be smashed to pieces by his own hands.
Under the almost heartbreaking pain, the only thing he looked forward to was the promise given to him by Jiang Shangyu that would allow him and the Gu family to continue to survive in Central Continent.
That promise still makes his heart burn brightly when he thinks about it.
Jiang Shangyu's promise is simple yet amazing.
Within three months, Jiang Shangyu could fully recover from his injuries.
Within half a year, let him reach the peak of invincibility.
Within a year, Jiang Shangyu can help him break through the peak invincibility and directly reach Kuangtu Li's current level.
A seemingly ridiculous promise.
But Jiang Shangyu took himself as an example, and the clear reality was before Gu Xingyun.
