Three hundred and thirty eight chapters: the end of the road (1)
Thick smoke floated in the antique office.
The atmosphere was so depressing that one could hardly breathe.
The middle-aged and somewhat powerful secretary walked in with two cups of tea, and then walked out cautiously.
He looked very calm, but his expression and steps looked a little panicked upon closer inspection.
Chen Fangqing sat numbly on the sofa, holding a cigarette and looking at the teacup placed in front of him, motionless.
The severe headache continued all the time, as if it was going to tear his entire spirit apart. The wall clock on the wall kept ticking second by second. The sound was crisp, but it was extremely harsh to Chen Fangqing's ears. The second hand moved every time.
Every time he trembles, he seems to be closer to the end.
It is indeed the end.
His end, the end of the Chen family, the end of the Prince Group, and the end of the dark world.
Less than twenty-four hours.
The result of the decisive battle in the North Sea has officially spread throughout the dark world.
There are too many things worth mentioning in the decisive battle in the North Sea.
But none of this matters anymore.
What matters is the result.
A cruel and unacceptable result.
Twenty-four hours.
The flames of war spread throughout the dark world.
When all the results were brought together, what appeared in front of everyone was a completely shocking battlefield.
Twenty-two hours ago, thousands of elites from the combined forces besieged the headquarters of the Dark Knights.
Under circumstances that no one expected, the Snow Dance Legion left Leki City for the first time and entered northern Europe.
Thousands of elite members of the coalition forces were wiped out.
Twenty-one hours ago.
Jiang Shangyu was defeated by Li Tianlan and escaped from Xuanyuan City.
Twenty hours ago, all the elite members of the Rothschild family came out and teamed up with the Palace of Reincarnation to rush into the sanctuary.
The Legion of Holy Inquisition suffered heavy casualties, the Holy Land was in a mess, and the Pope was nowhere to be found.
Twenty hours ago.
The second batch of Snow Dance Legion sets foot in the Snow Country.
The three secret bases that Wang Xiaoyao had developed on the border of the Snow Country in the past few years were directly swept away. Then the Snow Dance Legion rampaged through the Snow Country, and some secret strongholds belonging to Wang Xiaoyao were uprooted.
Eighteen hours ago.
Many dark forces such as the Men in Black, the Society of Heroes, and the Fantasy World gathered in southern America. Sixteen secret bases of the Chiang Kai-shek in South America were completely destroyed overnight, and a violent explosion occurred at the Chiang Kai-shek headquarters in South America.
Sixteen hours ago, Li Tianlan officially arrived in Beihai Province.
All weapons systems on Dongdao were completely out of control.
The three fleets escaped from control and sailed into the waters of Central Continent.
Fourteen hours ago, all high-end forces in the North Sea began to counterattack.
Cities such as Shengzhou and Liuli restored basic order thirteen hours ago, and Jiang Shangyu and others arrived at Imperial Soldier Mountain.
Eleven hours ago, the great master of the East Island, Yagyu Cangquan, fell, Tianhai Wuji fell, Jiang Guochu fell, Wang Xiaoyao was seriously injured and retired from the battlefield, Wangyue Xiange was seriously injured, and Morader was seriously injured.
The bright moon rises over the sea in Beihai Province.
Ten hours ago, Wang Shengxiao arrived in Canglan.
Nine hours ago, news of all aspects of the decisive battle in the North Sea officially spread throughout the dark world.
Until now, all forces are still not sure what these messages actually mean, nor are they sure what impact the decisive battle in the North Sea will have on the dark world.
But the most intuitive thing is that the entire dark world withered overnight.
Half, now most of the famous forces in the dark world have died in Beihai, and the rest are either small forces with insufficient strength, or behemoths like the Beihai Wang Family of the East Palace.
As for Zhongzhou specifically, all the chess pieces lurking in the North Sea in Zhongzhou were completely lost, especially the fall of the East Island. The East Palace swept the dark world of the East Island overnight, which means that the East Island will become the East Palace's sphere of influence in the future.
.
And Dongdao...
There is complete evidence and call records of the connection between Chen Fangqing and them...
Every one of these calls is released and poses a fatal threat to Chen Fangqing.
No one could have imagined that Dongdao would lose so miserably, with no chance of fighting back.
Now that the decisive battle in Beihai has come to an end, all of Chen Fangqing's previous connections with Dongdao will be completely controlled by the Donghuang Palace.
Chen Fangqing knew exactly what this meant.
Lost.
And he lost everything he had.
Chen Fangqing was completely at a loss now.
From the time he received the news to now, he has been sitting like this and smoking non-stop.
He felt that he should think about something, but his mind was in chaos and he couldn't think of anything.
Guo Wentian came two hours ago.
Entering Chen Fangqing's office, Guo Wentian, another giant of the Prince Group, didn't say anything. He just quietly smoked a whole pack of cigarettes with him.
"Over there on the East Island..."
After an extremely long silence, Guo Wentian finally spoke carefully: "How deeply are you involved?"
Chen Fangqing glanced at him and didn't answer.
No answer is itself an answer.
For the decisive battle in Beihai, the involvement between him and Dongdao can be as deep as possible.
Wang Shengxiao and Li Tianlan made no attempt to hide their murderous intentions from the beginning to the end.
The turmoil in the Haoyue Group, the death of his daughter and granddaughter, and everything else have made the entire Chen family panic. For this decisive battle, Chen Fangqing put his own reputation, the survival of the Chen family, and even the crown prince on the line.
The future of the group.
How deep is the involvement...
Chen Fangqing had no way to answer this question.
This time Dongdao used war resources that had not been used for hundreds of years. It is no exaggeration to say that a considerable part of the reason for all this was promoted by Chen Fangqing.
Guo Wentian seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. His voice was very soft, with a touch of trembling: "Can the situation on Dongdao be controlled?"
Chen Fangqing gave a bitter laugh and said in a hoarse voice: "How to control it? In this situation, Dongdao can be said to hate me to the core. Can I still count on Dongdao to help me keep secrets?"
Guo Wentian was speechless for a while.
A decisive battle in the North Sea caused Beihai to suffer unprecedented losses. It also severely damaged the vitality of the entire East Island. The experts in the dark world withered, and the losses of the three fleets in the military were truly debilitating. Speaking of it all,
Perhaps Chen Fangqing cannot be entirely blamed, but after losing the decisive battle, the entire Dongdao upper class needs a channel to vent their anger, and Chen Fangqing, the Prime Minister of Zhongzhou, is undoubtedly the best channel to vent their anger.
"What happened this time was wrong."
After a long silence, Guo Wencai spoke in a low tone.
The muscles on Chen Fangqing's face twitched violently and he bit the cigarette butt.
"It's basically over on the East Island side. Mai Shiranui took Liuhuo Palace to join Li Tianlan. They are the last powerful martial arts school on the East Island. I received the text message notification about twenty minutes ago, that is to say,
The right to speak in the entire dark world of East Island has changed hands. Forty-six martial arts schools, thirty have been destroyed, and sixteen have surrendered."
Guo Wentian shook his head slightly and continued: "The royal family of the East Island has contacted the East Palace. They want to cooperate, but it seems that Li Tianlan has no intention to talk."
"It's always possible to talk."
Chen Fangqing waved his hand: "Li Tianlan doesn't have to cooperate with the royal family, but after all, he is in Dongdao, and he cannot completely ignore the will of Dongdao."
"I have the same idea as you."
Guo Wentian took a deep look at Chen Fangqing: "Now, I think the main reason why Li Tianlan will not talk about it is that Dongdao has not yet come up with enough chips. What chips do you think they will come up with to impress Li Tianlan?"
"a lot of things."
Chen Fangqing twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing or crying, with an unusually weird expression: "I think, no matter how many things it is, at least the call records between me and Dong Dao will be part of it, not even
All I need, just a few call records, may be enough to prove my treason."
"What happened this time was wrong."
Guo Wentian said again.
"It's useless to talk more."
Chen Fangqing shook his head indifferently: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times."
Guo Wentian is not talking.
Chen Fangqing took another long puff of cigarette almost greedily, and suddenly asked: "What are your plans?"
He knew Guo Wentian's purpose of coming.
I also know that the other person is not easy to talk to.
So he simply asked directly.
The connection between him and Dong Dao is very hidden.
But no matter how hidden it is, things have already happened. It is impossible for no one within the group to notice it, and it is also impossible for no one in Zhongzhou to notice it. If nothing else, at least as soon as the decisive battle begins, Zhongzhou directly blocks the interior of Beihai.
There is no way to explain this aspect of communication.
Beihai won.
Then the Prince Group will have no choice but to swallow a bitter pill.
The biggest bitter fruit is undoubtedly left to Chen Fangqing.
"The situation is more complicated now."
Guo Wentian was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "Including me, many comrades believe that it is time for us to make some steps back. Even if it is a relatively big step back."
Chen Fangqing looked at him and said nothing.
"You have to be mentally prepared."
Guo Wentian said, repeating the sentence for the third time: "What happened this time was wrong."
Chen Fangqing twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Wrong? What's wrong? You and I can see it. Everyone can see the impact Beihai has had on Central Continent over the years. No one can deny their contribution to Central Continent, but there are
Contribution does not mean there are no drawbacks. It is imperative to contain Beihai, not only Beihai, but also the Eastern Imperial Palace. In Zhongzhou, all the so-called superpowers must obey the will of Zhongzhou. Everything I do is under my control.
This is what I should do in this position."
Chen Fangqing tugged on the tie at the collar angrily.
He was silent for a while before continuing: "I didn't do anything wrong. If I said it wrong, then my only mistake is that I failed, that's all. Maybe in a few years, when Zhongzhou can't bear it anymore, I will
Everything I did today will be done again by others. My only hope is that the other party can succeed."
Guo Wentian smiled bitterly and lit another cigarette.
Faint smoke rose in front of him.
Guo Wentian was silent for a while and then said softly: "Li Tianlan has entered Beijing."
