The atmosphere seemed to have changed into something else unconsciously.
Li Huacheng was negotiating with Li Tianlan. The two were at war with each other, tit for tat, and refused to give in to each other.
But to put it bluntly, neither party has any real intention to fall out.
A strong and radical attitude is nothing more than to strive for more benefits.
If Li Huacheng wanted to take away Li Kuangtu, he had to give an explanation to the East Palace. In other words, the benefits would naturally be given. It was just a question of how much. If he could suppress Li Tianlan, he would naturally be able to pay a lot less.
As for Li Tianlan, he no longer cares about Kuangtu Li.
He captured Kuangtu Li and gave him enough time to calm down. After he calmed down, Kuangtu Li could see the situation clearly, the gap between himself and Li Tianlan, and many things.
At the same time, he gave Li Kuangtu the best conditions.
He has already done everything he can give and do, what else can he do?
Li Kuangtu didn't accept his conditions, so he naturally didn't matter to Li Tianlan.
It is completely ridiculous to say that there is any kind of relationship between Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan, such as the deep love between father and son. The two have no blood relationship. Neither party has really acknowledged the nominal father-son relationship. It seems that they started from the very beginning.
They are in a state of opposition.
Li Tianlan captured Li Kuangtu and took it. Li Kuangtu rejected the olive branch from the East Palace. What could Li Tianlan not let go of?
He wooed Donghuang Palace in order to unite the Li family into one in a real sense, but Li Kuangtu refused and refused. Without him, Li Tianlan could also make the Li family better.
Handing Li Kuangtu over to Li Huacheng to take him away now will only create one more enemy in the future.
He, Li Tianlan, has one more enemy.
Rather than the East Palace.
East Palace, Tiandu Purgatory.
Li Tianlan, Li Kuangtu.
Both parties regard each other's property as their own. The only difference now is that a large part of Tiandu Purgatory's power will really become Li Tianlan's property, while in the East Palace, Li Kuangtu has not received a penny.
.
Although the facts are before our eyes.
But there are still dreams.
Li Kuangtu will not give up this plan. Now that he has left the East Palace, the sky is high and the sea is vast, so he will naturally implement this plan in the future.
As long as he doesn't give up this dream, he will not kill the East Palace.
He would only kill Li Tianlan.
In fact, his martial arts foundation has not been restored. He is using his spiritual power to simulate sword energy. He has extraordinary attainments in the spiritual field and has even reached the transcendental state.
But Li Tianlan is really not worried about this.
He didn't even have any scruples.
It is difficult for Li Tianlan to explain his specific status now.
Strictly speaking, in terms of realm, Lin Fengting, Li Kuangtu, and even Jiang Shangyu are all at a higher realm than him.
Li Tianlan is now in the invincible state.
Well, an invincible state that is infinitely close to the peak invincible state.
The real state is just like the current Wangyue Xiange.
But realm is almost completely meaningless to him.
Before breaking through and entering the invincible realm, Li Tianlan already felt that something was wrong with the so-called four realms of martial arts and the invincible realm.
There is a certain truth to the existence of realm, but it is not comprehensive.
If we were to give a comprehensive interpretation of martial arts, it would definitely not be realm.
Martial arts can summarize the realm.
However, it is difficult to fully explain martial arts in terms of realm.
Therefore, Li Tianlan never cared about the so-called realm. In today's situation, it is difficult to justify a description that can only be barely maintained. It is no longer important in his heart. He is now trying to continuously subdivide his martial arts into
Something that fully explains one's own combat capabilities in detail.
Such as strength, speed, explosive power, defense, will, body balance, and body endurance.
For example, sword energy, sword intent, and sword power.
The so-called martial arts is the most basic and original thing.
Only these things are the theories that truly construct martial arts.
It's just that this theory is not mature in Li Tianlan's mind.
He always feels that there is something missing in the theory he is currently constructing, and this may be the key to his breakthrough again.
But he never remembered what was missing.
It is skill, mastery, control, understanding, application...
These all seem to be correct, but they are never entirely correct.
There is no answer, which means that he has no hope of breakthrough.
But as he continued to think and deny, his combat effectiveness was rising and soaring almost every minute.
Li Tianlan actually knows very well what it means to be invincible now.
This means that in this era, his actual combat power is truly invincible.
Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun, and Jiang Shangyu together are no match for him.
Even with the addition of people like Wang Shengxiao and Wang Xiaoyao, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent.
But that's just for this era.
Now he...
He is still no match for Wang Tianzong at his peak.
Even if he is ruthless now.
But even with Qingqing, who had insufficient energy, he was no match for Wang Tianzong that night at Moormans.
The charging speed of Ruthless has been accelerated several times.
But if you want to be fully charged with energy, it will take at least ten years.
Ten years from now, it will be the peak period of ruthlessness.
At that time, with Li Tianlan's current state, he could probably copy the eternal sword above Mormans without being too seriously injured.
But now, it's not possible.
His true combat power seems to be close to that of Wang Tianzong back then.
But even that seemingly small gap is like a real chasm.
Li Tianlan could sense that when he crossed the natural chasm, the whole world would change dramatically in his eyes.
The key to crossing this natural chasm was what he had been thinking about, the key missing from his martial arts theory.
He didn't know what the key to this was, but he kept thinking about it, and his martial arts also made rapid progress in this kind of thinking, which can be said to be a thousand miles.
No matter how uncrossable the natural chasm seemed, he would still be able to cross it at this speed of progress.
So what if Kuangtu Li is infinitely close to the transcendent realm?
The so-called infinite closeness is also extremely far away from the actual arrival.
Li Tianlan was completely confident that he could reach the end of martial arts before Li Kuangtu.
That end point may not be a breakthrough, but in his progress in martial arts, before the breakthrough, he has the combat power to match Wang Tianzong, or even suppress Wang Tianzong.
Who is Kuangtu Li in that situation?
This is Li Tianlan's current mentality.
A state of mind that is extremely contradictory and difficult to explain, but it is real and makes him think that this reality is real.
He is confident that his combat effectiveness will reach a new level as he continues to improve.
But his realm will not be broken through.
No, it's not a realm...
It's the kind of thing that he has been thinking about but has difficulty expressing.
This kind of thing should greatly increase combat effectiveness, but it shouldn't be a frontal combat effectiveness, or something else...
Li Tianlan couldn't express this feeling, but standing at his current height, he could feel a vague suppression, even suppressing his thoughts.
His combat power can break through, but his thoughts seem to be imprisoned.
During this period, Li Tianlan had been thinking that he could communicate with Wang Tianzong after Wang Tianzong recovered and see if he knew what he had been unable to figure out.
If he can't answer this question, it can only mean that in fact, he is not a real breakthrough, but just like himself now, he has gradually brought his own combat effectiveness to that level.
In martial arts, Wang Tianzong is almost his only opponent.
Wang Tianzong can't get out.
He looks down on anyone.
The rain on the river is not good, the ancient clouds are not good, and Li Kuangtu is not good either.
So now, for him, since he can let go of Kuangtu Li, there is no need to let Li Huacheng take him away.
As long as he can give enough benefits.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between Li Huacheng and Li Tianlan is about this.
Li Huacheng even did not hesitate to reveal his identity to suppress Li Tianlan.
This is undoubtedly a bit unsightly.
But his status and position were at the top of the table. As long as he moved out, he thought Li Tianlan would have to bow his head.
He asked Li Tianlan whether he was qualified to test Li Tianlan because he was the president.
What else could Li Tianlan say?
As long as he dares to say something, the East Palace and the Parliament will completely fall out, which is equivalent to his official treason.
Li Tian
Lan also knew this.
So this sentence was not enough and he couldn't say it.
If you can't say anything, you can only bow your head.
Li Huacheng was originally waiting for Li Tianlan to bow his head. He even wanted to give Li Tianlan a step down and ask Qin Weibai to bow his head for him.
So he threw this question to Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai didn't follow the routine.
No, this woman has no tricks at all.
With a few simple words, she directly hit Li Huacheng's vital point.
East Palace? Li Kuangtu?
She didn't care about this.
These seem to be the reasons for the dispute between the two parties, but now, the real reason for their dispute is only because of interests.
Li Kuangtu said she was a witch.
Witches can see into people's hearts.
She may not be able to do this, but she can stand from an outsider's perspective and gain insight into the entire situation. Every detail is in her eyes.
This is not smart.
Li Huacheng may not want to admit it, but he must admit it.
This is wisdom.
So Qin Weibai bypassed the factors such as Li Kuangtu in the East Palace, stabbed the academy at its vitals, and threw out Cheng Xilai's trump card.
This was her layout, and it worked best when it was needed most.
For Li Huacheng, for academics.
Cheng Xilai could not give up.
There can be no mistakes in his future path.
The academic community poured too many resources into him and gave him too much hope.
Cheng Xilai did not disappoint anyone.
The mistake he made was just having a special lover.
That's all.
That’s it!
Gu Qingqiu never asked Cheng Xilai to do anything.
If the Special Warfare Group continues to develop, maybe after Cheng Xilai becomes a director, Gu Xingyun will really use Gu Qingqiu's trump card.
But now, Cheng Xilai is completely innocent.
Things have reached this stage simply because of Gu Qingqiu's special status.
It was Qin Weibai who added a special life experience to this special identity.
So Gu Qingqiu lost control.
She wanted to surrender, wanted to take revenge on Gu Xingyun, and wanted to leave Gu Xingyun with nothing.
She has this power now.
The master of the Phoenix Pavilion seduced the current leader of the academic sect.
Once the matter is exposed, Kunlun City will undoubtedly be targeted and hated by the entire academic sect.
Judging from the current situation of Kunlun City, once the academic faction gives up protecting them, Li Tianlan can easily destroy the entire Kunlun City.
Academics hate ancient practices.
But Li Huacheng wanted to protect Gu Xingyun again.
Gu Xingyun, Jiang Shangyu, and Li Kuangtu's trident cannot be lost. They are important chips to balance Li Tianlan. If any one of them is missing, the weight of this chip will plummet.
He must keep the ancient line.
But if the matter is exposed, he will stick to his old ways, which means that he, a big academic boss, will first have extremely fierce conflicts with countless people within his group.
What is this?
If things really break out, no matter what the outcome is, Cheng Xilai will definitely be sacrificed.
It's hard to have both ends of the spectrum.
So he hurriedly negotiated with Li Tianlan, planning to use Li Tianlan to face the storm that followed after both parties reached an agreement.
But Qin Weibai's words revealed another method.
As long as Gu Qingqiu doesn't surrender.
Then everything is easy to explain.
Gu Xingyun knew Gu Qingqiu's identity, but now that he was relying on the academy to protect him, he would definitely not dare to say anything.
If Gu Qingqiu didn’t say anything either.
Then this matter is a secret.
This is Qin Weibai's layout. If she can lay it out, she will naturally have the ability to close the net.
She could make Gu Qingqiu give up on surrendering without being silenced and completely irritating Cheng Xilai.
Qin Weibai is now asking him for chips, chips that can convince Gu Qingqiu.
What could such a bargaining chip be?
Naturally, he wants to suppress Gu Xingyun and get more benefits from him.
This benefit will naturally be given to Qin Weibai. Is giving it to Qin Weibai any different from giving it to Li Tianlan?
And to say the least, only by giving this benefit to Li Tianlan can Gu Qingqiu believe what Qin Weibai said to persuade her.
Then she would give up and surrender.
And her hope of revenge will change from self-destruction to relying on Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace to avenge her.
Cheng Xilai couldn't let go of Gu Qingqiu.
In this way, relying on Gu Qingqiu as a bridge, Cheng Xilai, the next generation leader of the college, established a subtle connection with the Eastern Palace.
If the college and the new group join forces, this relationship will undoubtedly be more in line with Li Huacheng's interests.
This is Qin Weibai's layout.
Now she is sitting opposite Li Huacheng, blowing in the wind, quiet and gentle, but she is telling Li Huacheng directly and openly: "I have paved the road for you and given you the steps. Why don't you hesitate to give me Zhongzhou?"
What?"
Li Huacheng sat there silently.
After so many years of controlling Central Continent, this was the first time he felt embarrassed.
This meant that he was forced by Qin Weibai to cooperate with Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took out another cigarette and lit it.
Naturally, he could feel the changes in Li Huacheng. Seeing that the president seemed to be forced into a corner by his wife, he took a puff of cigarette, reached out and grabbed a strand of Qin Weibai's long hair and played with it, with a pleasant look in his eyes.
smile.
Qin Weibai wrinkled his nose and rolled his eyes at him.
Li Huacheng watched this scene quietly, suddenly feeling extremely envious, no, jealous.
It was really difficult for him to evaluate this woman.
A rare and rare woman in Central Continent for hundreds of years?
A witch who brings disaster to the country and the people?
The goddess who captivates the country?
Both are and are not.
Her stunning beauty and natural beauty can be regarded as nothing in the eyes of Li Huacheng, who is already over seventy years old.
But her intelligence and sharp mind really made her dare not underestimate her in the slightest.
If it were placed in ancient times.
Or if there was no Li Tianlan.
It is unimaginable what this woman will become.
She is not a goddess who stands high above the world and is worshiped and admired by ordinary people.
But the kind of person who just stands here, but is enough to make most men bow their heads and crawl in awe...
Queen!
But now, because of Li Tianlan's appearance, she has become a little woman who knows how to restrain all her sharp edges.
Queen?
She doesn't care.
What she chose was to push her man to the throne, and she chose to use all her deep and mysterious scheming methods in secret, all for the sake of the man around her.
There used to be a saying that men conquered the world, and women conquered the world by conquering men.
But what's going on now?
A woman conquers the world and then gives it to her man?
Li Huacheng's eyes were a little complicated.
"Do you know what is the most enviable thing about you?"
He looked at Li Tianlan and asked softly.
"tell me the story."
Li Tianlan played with Qin Weibai's hair. Seeing that she seemed a little naughty, he pulled her hair gently without exerting any force. Looking at Qin Weibai's bulging corners of her mouth, Li Tianlan smiled more and more relaxedly.
"It's not your martial arts talent, it's not your invincibility, it's not because you are the heir to the Li family."
Li Huacheng's voice was low. He pointed at Qin Weibai and said softly: "The most enviable thing about you is that you have her."
With such a woman by your side, being a man is such a worry-free experience.
What is a good wife?
That's it.
He is strong and domineering externally, but charming internally, knows strategies, understands taste, is measured, elegant and generous, can organize the harem, handle family problems well, and take good care of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The current harmony between Li Tianlan and the Dongcheng family can also be attributed to
See Qin Weibai's thoughts.
This is exactly the woman that all men dream of.
Who doesn't want that?
Everyone wants it.
But only Li Tianlan has it.
"If I weren't old, maybe I would lose my mind because of jealousy of you."
Li Huacheng said with emotion.
“Is there something in the president’s words?”
Li Tianlan smiled casually.
Li Huacheng neither admitted nor denied, but looked at Qin Weibai again and asked: "Gu Xingyun is taking a step back, how about it?"
Qin Weibai smiled implicitly and elegantly, looked at Li Tianlan and said nothing.
I'm jealous...
Jealousy...
Li Huacheng's mouth twitched and he looked at Li Tianlan.
Qin Weibai can lay out the layout.
But in the end, it was this kid who made the final decision.
Li Huacheng took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.
Originally, Cheng Xilai's incident would cause a lot of trouble.
But if Qin Weibai takes action, it can be solved. He originally negotiated with Li Tianlan, but now it's just two things merged into one.
As long as the two sides can reach an agreement today, they will save a lot of trouble in the future.
"The ancient virtues are not worthy of their place."
Li Tianlan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, frowning slightly.
"I'm going to see if the water is boiled."
Qin Weibai said softly, stood up and left the balcony.
Li Tianlan continued: "And his strength is also a bit inferior."
"You you on the line?"
Li Huacheng asked calmly.
This is not out of anger.
Now that he has decided to compromise and let Gu Xingyun take a step back, he really thinks that Li Tianlan can do it, so Li Tianlan will go ahead.
Li Tianlan laughed: "You trust me?"
"I said, I want to test you, but I don't intend to kill you."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "I proposed that you serve as the special advisor of Zhongzhou. In terms of power, you will be slightly higher than Gu Xingyun. This will also allow you to take a certain initiative in the next situation."
"not enough."
Li Tianlan shook his head.
Li Huacheng had expected it and nodded: "Gu Xingyun goes down. The parliament appoints you as the special advisor of Central Continent and also serves as the war god of protection of Central Continent. Is this enough?"
"I want to go to parliament."
Li Tianlan put down the tea cup, looked at Li Huacheng, and said in a soft voice.
Enter parliament...
This is naturally different from the previous Gu Xingyun.
Gu Xingyun's salary is actually very high. He is at the same level as the director, which sounds like he has a higher status than the councillors. He can also attend the board meetings. However, in many matters, he only has the right to speak but not to vote. To be precise, he is equal to
An alternate director who does not join the parliament and does not serve as a member.
Sometimes this identity is very useful, but sometimes it is extremely embarrassing, and its effect is even far less than that of a member of parliament.
What Li Tianlan needs is not the so-called same level as a director.
Rather than doing this, it is better to take a step back.
He serves as the special advisor of Zhongzhou and concurrently serves as the God of War to protect the country. At the same time, he also wants to officially enter the parliament and become a member of Zhongzhou.
This identity controls all the special forces in Central Continent. In terms of power, even in the parliament, he is a heavyweight at the forefront.
This is something Gu Xingyun has been planning for a long time. He is not qualified to take it, but now Li Tianlan is qualified.
"I thought you were going to ask me to become a director."
Li Huacheng laughed.
Li Tianlan frowned. He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he simply asked: "Sirating me?"
"No, even if you want to become a director, I can do my best to help you."
Li Huacheng shook his head.
"There's not much certainty, there are too many variables."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "Besides, if I become a director, I will definitely have one more director seat. It's so unstable. Just go to the parliament."
Li Tianlan himself is too young.
Twenty-three.
If you become a director of Central Continent, it is not difficult to imagine how big a storm of public opinion will occur throughout Central Continent.
After all, the formal directors are not like they used to be, hiding in the darkness like Gu Xingyun.
It requires the parliament to formally announce it to the public, expose it to the media, and give a general introduction to his job duties.
There are only a few directors, and now that Li Tianlan has stepped up, it can be said that he is at the forefront of the real storm.
As for the members, there are more than 20 directors, including the major directors. Li Tianlan may still be a bit too young among a group of old men. He will also be exposed by the media and become well-known throughout the country. However, compared to becoming a director, Li Tianlan will undoubtedly receive less attention.
If it is smaller, the most important thing is that the resistance to entering the parliament will also be much smaller.
It is enough for the New Group to have Wu Zhengmin on the board of directors in this election.
Li Tianlan entered the parliament, plus Bai Qingqian.
Alternate Zou Yuanshan.
There is also Ji Ankang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who is not very sure now.
This lineup is enough.
"If you don't serve as a director, but become a councillor, will you be stable?"
Li Huacheng smiled.
Li Tianlan also smiled.
After all, stability is relative. When most of the members of the Central Continent are in their fifties or sixties, if a twenty-three or four-year-old member suddenly intervenes, no matter how low-key he is, it will be a real storm to the outside world.
At that time, the people of the entire Central Continent will know that he is the current guardian of Central Continent and the number one master of Central Continent.
The special operations system and the God of War, a series of structures that have been hidden in the dark, will officially come to the forefront from the dark.
This is enough to shock the entire Central Continent.
However, Li Huacheng generally understood what Li Tianlan meant.
This is really stable.
Being on the board of directors and being a member of the parliament are the same for the people of Central Continent, they are both a storm, but for the parliament, it is completely opposite.
There are only a few director positions, and everyone is vying for them with all their strength. Now there is really no room for Li Tianlan.
There are relatively more positions for members, and what Li Tianlan is competing for is the status of a member. He already has the position that matches this status. It is just to give Li Tianlan a position in the parliament, which is not difficult.
As long as the parliament can accept him and be stable, Li Tianlan will not care about the public opinion trend of the outside world.
"If you want to be in this position, you also want to block the gun for Yuanshan, right?"
Li Huacheng smiled.
"That's true, but it's mainly for the overall benefit."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
Zou Yuanshan will also enter the parliament in this election, but because of his age and qualifications, it is impossible to be directly elected as a member. He should be an alternate member. He is not yet forty years old this year. If it were not for Li Tianlan, he would be put in the spotlight and be
What everyone will be staring at will be Zou Yuanshan.
And this is the new group’s planned presidential candidate fifteen years from now. Putting him in the spotlight will be detrimental to the overall situation of the new group. Li Tianlan enters the parliament. A 23-year-old official member is definitely better than a person under 40 years old.
Alternate members are even more eye-catching.
This can also be regarded as a way to protect Zou Yuanshan.
It is also a helpless move.
Because the new group really doesn’t have many manpower that can be used to reach the top.
If there are many such people, it would be best if Zou Yuanshan does not join the parliament this year. His stamina is quite sufficient. The pursuit of maximizing power in the short term will only cause uneasiness to others.
"In this case, it's better to go one step further."
Li Huacheng said slowly: "It is not impossible to directly become a director. At least I am more than 70% sure. This is not a bad thing for you, right?"
Li Tianlan frowned and said nothing.
Li Huacheng's meaning is a little strange.
Of course he could see the change in Li Huacheng's attitude.
Originally, don't talk about becoming a councilor or director.
He didn't even want to give Gu Xingyun the position of the God of War to protect the country.
Now it was good to finally let go, but in the end, he actually supported himself to become the director of Zhongzhou in one step?
Just like Li Huacheng said.
This is really not a bad thing.
But it's not a good thing.
There are mixed pros and cons.
Once he got into that position, to put it simply, Li Tianlan was put on a fire.
A new group that is rising rapidly.
He and Wu Zhengmin became directors.
At that time, not to mention the academic group and the Prince Group, the Southeast Group, even the Northern Group and the wealthy group may have other ideas.
The increase in power will naturally bring huge benefits, but it will also lead to more complex situations.
Li Huacheng, what does this mean?
"Indeed...it's not a bad thing."
Li Tianlan said slowly.
Li Huacheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"But I refuse."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Qin Weibai walked into the balcony again and added hot water to the tea cups in front of them.
"I thought you wouldn't refuse."
Li Huacheng said slowly.
"It's too troublesome and I can't get used to it."
Li Tianlan said straightforwardly.
"That's fine."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "You can join the parliament, but positions such as special advisor and national protector are still too vague to the outside world. If you want to come to the front desk, the parliament will definitely announce your position.
Although it won’t be too detailed, it can’t be too general either. Parliament can never make the structure of the secret service completely transparent. So...”
Li Huacheng smiled: "If you don't want to be a director, then you can take a position in the military department."
