"There is someone in Tiandu Purgatory, Tian Lan, you should pay attention to him."
Qin Weibai thought silently for a while and then said softly.
"who?"
Li Tianlan kept breathing, and his mouth and nose were filled with the smell that made him extremely peaceful and homesick. In this state, Li Tianlan felt like a salted fish, only thinking about sinking into the gentle countryside, and the motivation to be ambitious and work hard.
All gone.
"Li Huazhang."
Qin Weibai's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she finally said the name. She didn't like this person very much, but for the current Donghuang Palace, this is indeed a very useful person. The Li family was the core staff in its heyday
, and plays the role of a strategist who advises the Li family. His ability is undoubted, and in another time and space, his level in all aspects has been personally tested by Li Tianlan himself, but Li Tianlan doesn't know it yet.
Li Huazhang is now a senior staff officer in Tiandu Purgatory.
He is regarded as the core, but his position in the core is relatively peripheral. The personal relationship between him and Li Kuangtu is not good, so he got such a highly valued but unreused character. He joined the Eastern Palace.
He can establish a certain order in a city by himself. If he is given a not bad team, Li Huazhang can completely stabilize half of Tiannan.
And people flock together.
The Li family's positioning towards Li Huazhang is there. Now that he is in Tiandu Purgatory, the position of the people who can walk with him is basically the same as him, and as the only one of the Li family who can compete with him in terms of seniority,
For people who are comparable to Li Kuangtu, his potential influence is huge.
There is a very interesting phenomenon in the Li family today.
With the fall of Li Honghe, the East Imperial Palace and Tiandu Purgatory coexist with the dark world, and the division and opposition of the Li family have become extremely obvious.
From Li Tianlan's point of view, the elders of the Li family around Li Tianlan were more loyal to Li Honghe than to Li Kuangtu.
For example, the poison doctor Yu Donglai was one of the sacred guards around Li Honghe back then.
The fire man who is known as the strongest fire master.
Li Tianying, who once controlled the largest special force in Central Continent.
Aoba, the current Minister of Security of Nakasu.
Tianyin now controls most of the intelligence agencies of the Eastern Palace.
There is also Situ Cangyue, the hidden god of Central Continent who was trained by Li Honghe.
These are all people who have implemented Li Honghe's will and stood firmly by Li Tianlan's side. Although there are not as many people as Tiandu Purgatory, in terms of personal ability, everyone is really speechless.
The person standing next to Li Kuangtu was someone who was more loyal to Li Kuangtu than to Li Honghe in the Li family.
Dawn, dawn, phoenix, even Yun Qinxi, the sword master of Shushan...
In addition to these forces.
In fact, there is a very important but ignored group that has always been on Kuangtu Li's side.
That was the righteous power of Li's past.
The Li family and the Beihai Wang family formed the Southeast Group together. The Li family naturally had their own team. The Li family and the Beihai Wang family formed the Southeast Group, which was originally known as the first group in Central Continent.
With the fall of the Li family, the Southeast Group was also severely weakened, and a large number of core personnel were purged. Only then did the Southeast Group fall from the ranks of the only super group and become a first-line group similar to the Prince Group.
The fate of each of these people is also different. Those who leave sadly, those who are vain and submissive, those who tuck their tails and live quietly, and those who fight to the end...
Different people, different approaches. This group is so big that even the Wang family in Beihai cannot completely eliminate them. Many people cannot be discovered, and even if many people are discovered, they can only turn a blind eye.
, and naturally some of these forces are on Li Tianlan's side.
There are two representative figures.
The first one is Wu Zhengmin.
Back then, Li Honghe seized the opportunity and went directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, taking Jiangsu and Zhejiang into his hands again and completely handing over the future of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Li Tianlan.
Headed by Wu Zhengmin.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang supported the initial prototype of the new group. Today, there are basically no people loyal to Li Kuangtu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As long as Wu Zhengmin’s position remains unchanged, the position of Jiangsu and Zhejiang’s senior officials will not change. Even if Li Kuangtu wants to intervene, he has little chance.
.
Another representative figure is Li Tianlan's current neighbor.
Tiannan·Yongbyon City·Ning Zhiyuan, commander of the Freedom Corps.
This is also the person who is firmly standing by Li Tianlan's side. The number of the Free Corps has now expanded to 50,000. These 50,000 people can be mobilized by Li Tianlan at will to stabilize Tiannan's combat power.
Many people have discussed privately now. If Tiannan really falls into the hands of the East Palace in the future, this place will become the foundation of the East Palace. Not counting Li Tianlan, the Ning family may become Tiannan in the future.
The first wealthy family.
Because to a certain extent, Ning Zhiyuan and Ning Qiancheng, father and son, control all the official and royal affairs of Tiannan.
There are not many of them, but each of them can be compared to ten old people of Li family.
The whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The entire Freikorps.
These are the three gifts that Li Honghe left to Li Tianlan and that Li Tianlan has complete control over.
In addition, the other righteous and intelligent forces of the Li family, those who have been suppressed, purged, and are still dormant, were mostly those who followed Kuangtu Li back then and planned to replace the Wang family of Beihai. Their positions are,
There is absolutely no need to say more now.
Now, judging from the situation, the East Palace and Tiandu Purgatory are already at a standstill.
At this time, if Li Huazhang joins Donghuang Palace in a high profile, Donghuang Palace will not only have a few talents similar to Li Huazhang, he can even use his identity and seniority to lobby these current people with the general trend of Donghuang Palace.
It's hard to say how big or small the harvest from the power that still stands by Li Kuangtu's side is, but it is definitely rewarding. As long as Li Huazhang is given enough time, he can even build a talent pipeline for the Eastern Palace alone.
The most important thing is...
Qin Weibai's spiritual power has now officially entered the transcendent realm.
Standing at this height, she cannot enslave other people's souls, but she can already quietly modify many people's perceptions.
Why is the Holy Emperor in the Holy Realm so scary?
It's because as long as he sees his goal, he can change the goal into what he wants to see.
Spirit, thinking, cognition, belief.
Under the shroud of the spiritual storm, as long as he is willing, he can really change a person into another person without even realizing it.
And such modifications are often more terrifying than the pure lethality in martial arts.
And what that Holy Emperor can do.
Now Qin Weibai is qualified to try.
She does not intend to turn Li Huazhang into another person.
But through spiritual suggestion, Qin Weibai was able to change his loyalty from Li to Li Tianlan, and constantly strengthen this thinking.
"Li Huazhang..."
Li Tianlan murmured the name to himself, his eyes calm.
He had always known this name, but this morning when he arrived at the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory, he really saw this young uncle, and his attitude surprised Li Tianlan. Obviously, the people in Tiandu Purgatory
In the headquarters, the young uncle did not support Kuangtu Li, but stood firmly on his side.
"If he is willing to come to the East Palace, he can be made the mayor of Tiandu City."
Qin Weibai didn't mention other benefits. Li Tianlan would always discover things, and it didn't mean much to say it or not. Let Li Huazhang serve as the mayor of Tiandu. At present, it seems that this is the most practical: "Tianlan, you can go there
Go to the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory and bring Li Huazhang here before they leave."
"This person is not loyal to Kuangtu Li. As a senior staff officer, you can see that he is currently in a bit of embarrassment in Tiandu Purgatory. It is said that he has a bad relationship with Kuangtu Li. If you take action in person, he and you will
There is a high chance of leaving. Because you are the patriarch of the Li family, and Li Huazhang, what he values is not the rise and fall of Tiandu Purgatory and the East Palace. What he values most is the future of the Li family. Even in his heart, as long as the Li family
Still here, it doesn’t matter what happens to Tiandu Purgatory and East Palace.”
"I know him."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "You don't need me to go there, this man will come in a few days."
After a pause, he continued: "It is estimated that some people will come to Purgatory in the next few days, and we will make unified arrangements then."
When he left Tiandu Purgatory headquarters, he gave Tiandu Purgatory three days.
Just like giving Kuangtu Li a chance.
Someone in Tiandu Purgatory talked about his life experience.
And he officially announced who the next generation successor of the Li family would be.
This is the most powerful response, and it is also the best that Li Tianlan can do, so that his and Dongcheng Ru's future children will inherit the Li family name, and the children will still have the surname Li.
Li Tianlan couldn't do anything else. It was impossible to really welcome Li Kuangtu and the others into the East Palace and let Li Kuangtu control everything in the East Palace.
Tiandu Purgatory has many people and many thoughts.
Some stood by him, some supported Kuangtu Li, and some were wavering.
Li Tianlan didn't know who would come to the East Palace to report in three days. He had given all the conditions he had to offer. To be honest, even if those people didn't accept it, Li Tianlan could understand.
But understanding is understanding.
Anyone who doesn't come in three days is the enemy.
Li Tianlan has never been in the habit of showing mercy to his enemies.
"I gave them three days."
Li Tianlan whispered: "I told them that when Ru Shi wakes up, my and Ru Shi's child will be named Li, and this child will inherit the Li family name."
He put his arms around Qin Weibai's slender waist and said softly: "Do you feel aggrieved?"
"Nope."
Qin Weibai shook his head and shook his calf on Li Tianlan: "Fighting for family property? It's too cliché, and it's just a Li family. Not to mention the future, even now, what you have is more than just a Li family.
If you and Ru have children, it will be natural for you to inherit the Li family in the future. If we have children in the future, he will naturally inherit what he should inherit. And... we don’t even have children, so it doesn’t matter whether we will separate the family or not. You
Thinking too much.”
Li Tianlan smiled, reached out and pinched Qin Wei's plump buttocks: "When do you plan to leave?"
Qin Weibai said that after Li Huacheng's matter was resolved, it would be time for her to return to the Lin clan.
"I should have left today."
Qin Weibai glared at him, a little charmingly. She reached out and patted away Li Tianlan's dishonest paw: "Wait a minute. In three days, I am also very curious whether anyone will come to Tiandu Purgatory and how many people will come.
, I’ll leave after my curiosity is satisfied. What, do you think I’m bored?”
"The stockings haven't been torn off yet, why are you bothered?"
Li Tianlan shook his head seriously.
"rogue!"
Qin Weibai glared at him with a red face.
Li Tianlan stretched and said with a smile: "Choose white or black tonight."
Qin Weibai snorted lightly and stood up.
She lay in front of the balcony railing and looked at the distant scenery.
Li Tianlan sat casually, admiring her back.
It's close at hand and exquisite.
"Is there anything else we need to do before the election?"
Qin Weibai asked.
"do not care."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "Let them make trouble next, it has nothing to do with us."
"Including Huating?"
Qin Weibai laughed.
The situation in Central Continent has almost reached fever pitch.
Liaodong was in chaos. Wang Xiaoyao returned to Zhongzhou this time and set off an extremely violent storm in Huating. Southeast Group and Prince Group all entered the scene. Wu Yue and Huating became the new focus of Zhongzhou. What will happen next?
In a year's time, Central Continent will only become more and more lively.
If the new group wants to get involved, it may not be able to benefit if it operates well.
"Including Huating."
Li Tianlan nodded: "Actually, at this time, if we don't do anything, we have already done a lot of things."
Qin Weibai tilted his head and thought for a while, then said softly: "It makes sense."
When she tilted her head, a strand of black hair hung down from her ears. It was carried by the slightly cold wind of the East Palace, and seemed to glow with a faint golden light in the sun.
Li Tianlan watched quietly.
She looked at his Eastern Palace.
He is looking at her.
This was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his life.
"Can the Lin clan's matter be suppressed?"
Li Tianlan asked softly.
"Um?"
Qin Weibai turned around and looked at him with some confusion.
"I'm used to having you around."
Li Tianlan stood up and walked behind her, hugged her body in his arms, lowered his head and bit her neck gently: "I'm a little reluctant."
Qin Weibai seemed a little itchy, twisted around and giggled.
"What if I stay? Stay at home with you every day and be bullied and bullied by you all the time?"
"You can go out for a walk."
Li Tianlan said softly: "In a few days, I plan to go to the East Island for a walk. I will also go to America. There are many people to meet in Central Continent and there are many places to visit. Without you, I always feel like something is missing. Let's go together
Let’s take a look around and treat it as a tour. It’s not in a hurry and you can stay wherever you like for a while.”
“Is this the mentality of men showing off their achievements to their spouses?”
Qin Weibai rubbed Li Tianlan's face with his head.
"......right?"
Li Tianlan said a little uncertainly.
"Or is it the kind of mentality where you want to show off your wife's beauty and want everyone to see and enjoy being envied?"
Qin Weibai continued to laugh.
"Hmm... that's right?"
Li Tianlan laughed: "I just want to take you with me. Wherever I can influence, I should remember the appearance of the mistress of the East Palace."
He kissed Qin Weibai's face: "Do you want me to accompany you to Europe first? Since there may be a problem with the European branch of the Lin clan, I might as well accompany you to have a look. Once the problem is solved, you don't have to leave.
"
"Zhongzhou really doesn't care anymore?" Qin Weibai said softly.
"Just watch the excitement."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "The current scale of the new group is already at its limit. Being too greedy is not a good thing. They can do whatever they want, as long as I don't take action, they will not provoke me. After the election, in the new situation, only
This is our stage."
Academy, North, Prince, Southeast, Special Operations, Rich Family, and New Group.
The pattern of the seven major groups has been determined.
The new group has already gained a lot. Even if Li Tianlan continues to stir up trouble, his income will be limited and meaningless.
The goal of the wealthy group is very clear, to ensure that Dongcheng Invincible is re-elected while completing the internal reshuffle, and to help Li Tianlan stabilize and digest the interests of the new group to the greatest extent.
Liaodong is already bustling.
Next, the Liaodong case cooled down.
Both new groups and wealthy groups can stay out of the situation and readjust their internal structures.
The special warfare group will face an extremely severe test next.
Because Li Tianlan's position has been decided.
The special advisor of Zhongzhou also serves as the war god of Zhongzhou’s national protector.
The top leader of the special operations system is not from the special operations group. It is estimated that Gu Xingyun, Jiang Shangyu, and Li Kuangtu are all in severe pain now. After the election, they will do things under the high pressure of Donghuang. What should I do?
Integrating their own strength is the top priority right now. Let alone participating in the upcoming chaos, they are thankful to be able to avoid being affected by the chaos.
So next, with the dominance of Huating and Wu Yue as the center, the entire Central Continent will become a battlefield between the Prince Group and the Southeast Group. The academic group will mediate between the two sides, and the Northern Group will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to find opportunities. In less than a year,
The tit-for-tat intrigues are lively.
Li Tianlan just watched.
There's really no need to get involved.
"Contact the route on Nanyun, we can go to Europe now."
Li Tianlan said.
"never mind."
Qin Weibai thought for a while: "I'll have a video conference with them later, so let's hold off for a while."
"Not leaving?"
Li Tianlan smiled.
"It's all up to you."
Qin Weibai squinted his eyes and murmured softly.
"So good."
Li Tianlan tightened his hands.
Qin Weibai closed his eyes, leaned into Li Tianlan's arms, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I feel like you are starting to like me again."
"When did I stop liking you?"
Li Tianlan was stunned.
"There has been something wrong with you these past few days. Sometimes you avoid me and rarely touch me when you sleep. You always liked to hug me when you were sleeping. You didn't allow me to leave even when I fell asleep. But these past few days you have been
They all sleep with their backs to me."
Qin Weibai's mouth bulged, and he was a little angry: "I thought you were tired of me."
"I'm not tired of you."
Li Tianlan responded seriously, and then frowned: "It was a little strange the past few days. I have been thinking wildly, and I always feel like I am not you."
"Then what?"
Qin Weibai tried his best to calm down and asked with a smile.
"It's just random thoughts, you are still you, what's next?"
Li Tianlan laughed: "You will always be unique."
Qin Weibai turned around from Li Tianlan's arms, reached out and hooked his neck, and said with a half-smile, "I can talk sweet words now, I've made progress."
She leaned close to Li Tianlan's ear and whispered: "I will reward you well tonight."
"Then choose black stockings tonight!"
Li Tianlan smiled.
She rolled her eyes at Li Tianlan, nodded, and said yes.
"And those silver high heels, the brightest pair."
"..."
"That red silk scarf is also good. Damn Hermès, I want that too."
"..."
"And those earrings that are said to be antiques, I want that too."
"..."
"Why are not you talking?"
Li Tianlan glanced at Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai, who had already imagined that image of himself, turned almost red, and said shamefully: "It's all up to you."
"Um."
Li Tianlan nodded, very satisfied.
"Where are the clothes? What kind of clothes do you want?"
Qin Weibai asked.
Li Tianlan looked confused and said innocently: "What clothes?"
Qin Weibai clenched his fist and hit Li Tianlan, and said bitterly: "Rogue!"
...
In the large and comfortable back seat, Li Kuangtu turned his head for the third time, and the East Palace in his sight had become a little blurry.
Li Huacheng, who had always paid attention to Kuangtu Li, suddenly smiled and joked: "What? Living here, do you have feelings for me, and suddenly feel reluctant to let go?"
Li Kuangtu, who looked calm, shook his head, frowning, thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?"
The rear baffle was lowered, and Li Huacheng's tone seemed a little careless: "If you plan to take revenge on the East Palace now, I advise you to give up this idea. At the very least, wait until your injury improves before you take action now.
, is no different from hitting an egg against a stone, and it doesn’t make any sense.”
"Egg against stone...Egg against stone..."
Li Kuangtu murmured to himself, his eyes becoming more and more confused.
Li Huacheng frowned and fell silent.
He quietly looked at the super master who was about to become the commander of the Purgatory Legion of Central Continent, with calm and deep eyes.
Li Kuangtu suddenly came back to his senses and smiled a little apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little tired and not in good spirits."
"I can take what you said to be true."
Li Huacheng said slowly: "But are you sure this is what you want to say? Regarding the East Palace, if you still have any troubles that you need me to solve, it's still too late."
"No..."
Li Kuangtu shook his head: "It's not a future problem, it's just... I feel like there is something that I didn't bring back there."
"what?"
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes.
The two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
And I was thinking about the same question.
As a prisoner, Li Kuangtu must have had nothing to gain during his time in the East Palace.
Is there anything I didn’t bring out?
It was impossible that he was reluctant to part with the cigarettes and wine provided by the Eastern Palace when he was captured.
"I forgot."
Li Kuangtu took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I seem to have forgotten something very important..."
The black car was driving on the streets of Xuanyuan City, which were all smooth.
"You can think about it slowly."
Li Huacheng patted him on the shoulder: "Is it a person? A thing? Or something specific?"
"yes..."
Li Kuangtu's eyes were confused and he murmured: "It's a dream."
