What he said was so straightforward that it seemed extremely harsh and harsh in the night.
Kuangtu Li suddenly laughed.
Unprecedented chaotic thoughts were surging crazily in his mind, including reality, fantasy, what had happened, and what he had imagined, all of which were in a boiling state at the same time.
He nodded in agreement and chuckled: "Indeed, I also think I'm a fool."
The corners of Li Huazhang's mouth moved.
The conditions given by Li Tianlan were an understatement from Li Kuangtu's mouth, but Li Huazhang clearly knew the weight of them. The first deputy palace master of the East Palace and the autonomy of Tiandu Purgatory really meant too much.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Tianlan's request for Tiandu Purgatory is actually very simple, even unbelievably simple.
All he wanted was for the Li family's position to be unified in the general direction, and he was too lazy to interfere with Tiandu Purgatory. He was even willing to give part of the power and benefits of the East Palace to Tiandu Purgatory, and Tiandu Purgatory only needed to recognize his status as the leader of the Li family.
, and stood with the East Palace at the critical moment.
that's enough.
This can’t even be regarded as an incorporation. It’s nothing more than cooperation. How much benefits and resources does the first deputy palace master of the East Palace mean? These are all given for free, and Li Tianlan allows Tiandu Purgatory to maintain its autonomy and takes the other side.
Li Tianlan just wants to end the split of the Li family. As for other aspects, such conditions can even be regarded as a concession from the East Palace.
Thousands of words in his heart suddenly came to his lips. Li Huazhang took a deep breath and swallowed back all the topics.
He could understand these things immediately, but he didn't believe that Li Kuangtu could not understand them.
But Li Kuangtu still refused.
What’s the point of talking about this?
Suppressing some contradictory emotions in his heart again, Li Huazhang twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to mock: "What? Looking at you, could it be that you regret it?"
The relationship between Li Kuangtu and Li Huazhang has never been good.
The parents of this strategist-type figure of the Li family had passed away a long time ago, and he had been brought up by Li Honghe since he was a child. Logically speaking, he and Li Kuangtu had grown up together, and their relationship should have been very close, but these two cousins
However, people seemed to be incompatible with each other, they were noisy, and they fought with each other from childhood to teenager and then to youth. They fought with each other more than once. Li Huazhang was not outstanding in talent, and he was two years younger than Li Kuangtu.
When he was robbed of toys and food, he and his cousin could still barely compete. When they became teenagers, the two began to contact each other in martial arts, and the gap suddenly began to widen. Every time the brothers fought, Li Huazhang was the best.
First, Li Kuangtu was beaten with a bruised nose and face by Li Honghe.
The two have many memories of each other. Most of them were quarreling, fighting, and getting beaten even if they couldn't fight. They still got beaten after the fight. Both sides felt that each other was disgusting.
From boyhood to adulthood, this relationship began to gradually change. When he grew up, Li Huazhang became more sophisticated and began to play dirty tricks. In terms of force, he was not as good as his cousin, but in terms of scheming, Li Huazhang at that time could get rid of him.
Li Kuangtu was on the same street. When they were in college, Li Huazhang used all kinds of tricks to make trouble for Li Kuangtu. As long as it could disgust him, he would do anything, although he would still be beaten with a bruised nose and face in the end.
, but it’s not a loss if you force it.
Later, the Li family was destroyed, and Kuang Li was dormant on the East Island. A few years later, Li Huazhang secretly joined Tiandu Purgatory from the border. Until now, the relationship between the two is not harmonious, and there is no hatred. But that kind of thing is just watching.
The habit of wanting to cause trouble for the other person if they don't like it has become a kind of instinct.
Therefore, Li Huazhang was assigned a senior staff position by Li Kuangtu in Tiandu Purgatory. He was considered a high-level person, not the top person, but a core, but a relatively marginalized position in the core. However, in fact, every time someone
When it comes to more important matters, Li Kuangtu will carefully ask Li Huazhang for his opinion, and Li Huazhang, who knows when to toss and when to be serious, has never lost his temper. Over the years, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two.
"regret..."
Li Kuangtu murmured to himself, shook his head, nodded again, and continued to laugh: "I do regret it a bit."
"Don't you think it's a little late?"
Li Huazhang's voice was cold.
"It's not too late."
Li Kuangtu said calmly: "If I join the East Palace and become the first deputy palace master of the East Palace, I will still have the final say in Tiandu Purgatory, and all the power of the Li family will be completely merged together. The first deputy palace master
This position can bring a lot of benefits to Tiandu Purgatory, which can even be said to be unimaginable. Tiandu Purgatory can use the power of the Eastern Palace to rapidly grow itself, but as it continues to grow, Tiandu Purgatory will also become more powerful.
If they are well integrated into the East Palace, the two parties will become one. In the short term, within a few years, there may be some gaps, but as time goes by, five or ten years later, Tiandu Purgatory and the East Palace will definitely be indistinguishable from each other.
This is what Li Tianlan wants to see."
"There is not much calculation about ambition in this. In this regard, he is relatively simple. He believes that he is the leader of the Li family and has the obligation to unite the power of the Li family. That's all."
"For Li's sake, he is willing to make certain concessions to a certain extent."
Li Huazhang looked at him silently.
Li Kuangtu took a deep breath and said calmly: "I do regret it. But if it happens again, I will still refuse."
"I know."
Li Huazhang said calmly: "You are unwilling to succumb to others. Now that you have claimed the favor of Gu Xingyun and Jiang Shangyu, you will inevitably want to fight Tian Lan. Do you think you still have hope?"
"thigh?"
Li Kuangtu frowned.
"no?"
Li Huazhang sneered: "If not, why would you be so eager to stick to it? You can continue to walk around here and ask questions to see what some people below are talking about you now, Gu Xingyun, ha,
Who is Gu Xingyun? Going back more than twenty years, the entire Gu family is a dog at the feet of my Li family. Don’t forget who caused the downfall of the Li family, who accused you of treason, and who made you
You have endured it in Dongdao for so many years. You can let it go, but what do you mean by the humiliation that Li has endured for so many years, so many lives, and everything that Li has shouldered? Why can you let it go?"
"What was Gu Xingyun doing when my uncle was taking us to the border? Before his foundation was stable, he dared to cooperate with Annan and sent experts from Kunlun City to work with Annan to bleed the Li family. When the Li family collapsed,
How many families have been destroyed, how many wives have been separated? You are hiding in the East Island, practicing martial arts again, having wine, meat and women, what about us? What kind of life are those brothers who have only come out in recent years?"
"What are these for? It's all because of the stupid things you did back then. Who gave these to you? It's Gu Xingyun!"
"How much does the Gu family owe our Li family? How many lives? Now that you have expressed your stance, your enemy has become a partner, and you have turned your head and wanted to hit your own people? The person who brought you to this point is Gu Xingyun.
Not Tianlan, let alone Donghuang Palace, what on earth are you doing?"
"It's just because my uncle didn't ask you to be the leader of the Li clan, and it's just because Tianlan has surpassed you in all aspects, so you are dissatisfied, angry and unwilling?"
"Kuantu Li, how selfish do you have to be before you are willing to lick Gu Xingyun's butt but then turn around to deal with the real Li family? Ah? You tell me!"
"Let you be the first deputy palace master of the East Palace, and let you continue to be in charge of the Palace of Reincarnation. You don't know what the future will be like? You said some time ago that if the situation is good, you can probably wake up in the next two years or even
Complete recovery, Tiandu Purgatory, and the Eastern Palace, all these may be different in the hands of you and Tian Lan, but as time goes by, the connection between the two parties becomes closer and closer. When Tian Lan and Ru Shi's child is born, who cares about these things
?Then the East Palace will be the Tiandu Purgatory, and the Tiandu Purgatory will be the East Palace. In the final analysis, they are all the Li family. You refused? You still have the nerve to say you refused. If I give you another chance, will you still refuse? Give me the face
Shameless, what on earth are you thinking about?"
Talking head-to-head and talking incessantly.
Li Huazhang has always been steady and gentle, and his style is extremely refined. He will only break his skills when facing Li Kuangtu, but such merciless swearing is completely different from the previous quarrels between the two. For both parties, this is
first.
In the night, Li Huazhang's face seemed to be flushed because he was too excited. He kept taking deep breaths. It took five or six minutes for him to calm down.
"What you are doing now has nothing to do with the Li family. Maybe we don't know you very well. What you want is not the glory of the Li family. What you want is the glory of the Li family led by you.
."
"You are my cousin. I don't want to judge you, but I hope you can understand exactly what you gave up today. An opportunity to truly make Li's family surpass the peak, an opportunity to make Li's whole again, and
You, because of your ridiculous selfishness, you refused."
"I don't know what will happen in the future. But what is certain is that if the Li family is glorious and prosperous in the future, it will have nothing to do with you, Kuangzu Li. If the Li family falls on the way to the top in the future, then you Li
A madman must be Li's eternal sinner."
His tone was cold and indifferent, without any excitement at all.
But Li Kuangtu's facial muscles twitched violently.
Few people can understand his feelings for Mr. Li.
Li Kuangtu never denied that he was selfish, but he was also extremely sincere towards Li's feelings. Li Huazhang's words were like knives stabbing into his chest again and again, and the blood was dripping and unparalleled.
The pain seemed to tear apart his consciousness.
What does he want to explain?
He wanted to explain that Li Huacheng would not agree to the conditions for his agreement to Li Tianlan. He wanted to explain that once he agreed to Li Tianlan's conditions, the whole Li family would be in crisis. He wanted to explain other...
In fact, there are many things that can be explained.
But when the words came to his lips, Li Kuangtu chose to remain silent.
Because all the things that can be explained, including the fact that Qin Weibai killed Hua Wu, are not the real reasons for his rejection of Li Tianlan.
The real reason was right in front of him, and he couldn't see it directly, but he knew very well that the reason why he rejected Li Tianlan was because he was unwilling to accept it, or because he was selfish.
"Everything is only temporary."
Li Kuangtu was silent for a long time, and then he slowly said: "I swear, I will make Gu Xingyun pay a price that is too tragic for him to imagine. I will make him double everything he has done to Li.
Come back ten times and a hundred times."
Perhaps he used this reason to convince himself to cooperate with Gu Xingyun.
At that time, Kuangtu Li swore that one day he would regain control of the Li family and overthrow Li Tianlan, he would kill the entire Gu family with a thousand swords to complete the most complete revenge.
Li Huazhang smiled.
His voice was colder and more distant.
"whatever."
In the night, Li Kuangtu heard his cousin's light and airy voice, revealing a careless and casual voice: "If you guessed it right, these words have a premise, that is, you should deal with Tianlan first, right? If that's really the case
, I sincerely hope you will never succeed. There is no need to tell me this. After dawn, see how many people are willing to follow you. You can tell them, you can say it as many times as you want, and it will continue to be a lie.
When you can deceive yourself, you are still somewhat convincing."
"and..."
Li Huazhang's voice paused and he said calmly: "There is no need for you to seek revenge. This is our Li family's business. Tianlan will take care of it in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."
Li Kuangtu's eyes instantly became extremely dangerous.
This sentence was light, but it directly hit his sore spot: "What do you mean by Li's business?!"
Li Huazhang looked at him calmly
: "No one wants to see you as an outsider. It's you who treats yourself as an outsider. I'm not the clan leader of the Li family, so I can't represent others, but in my heart, you now have nothing to do with the Li family."
"I have no other reason to come today. I just want to say goodbye to you. I will officially leave Tiandu Purgatory. Leave now. In addition to me, people like Baihu, Qianji, and Qilin will also follow me. They are now
You are already waiting for me at the gate, and I estimate that by the time you officially leave Tiannan, we will also arrive at the East Palace."
Li Huazhang said quietly: "Of course there is another possibility. If you kill us all now, we will never reach the East Palace."
The corners of Kuangtu Li's mouth twitched fiercely.
Li Huazhang, Baihu, Qianji, Qilin... there are about ten people in total, who all advance and retreat with Li Huazhang, and these people are all senior staff officers of Tiandu Purgatory. From another perspective, this is equivalent to Tiandu Purgatory.
The current top think tank in Dupurgatory is, of course, also Li's think tank.
The loss of any of these people is a loss that cannot be ignored for Tiandu Purgatory.
He opened his mouth, raised and lowered his palms, and finally waved his hand: "I... won't kill you."
Li Huazhang smiled: "I know, but you don't dare."
At this moment, he seemed to have completely calmed down and regained the instinct that he had maintained for many years. He would disgust his cousin whenever he got the chance.
Li Kuangtu glanced at him.
If Li Huazhang is killed here, Li Tianlan will definitely get angry and take action after knowing it. He may not be able to kill himself directly, but to kill a group of high-level officials in Tiandu Purgatory, Li Tianlan will definitely not have the slightest bit of tolerance when he does it. From this logic,
He was right not to dare to kill Li Huazhang.
But the so-called logical Li Kuangzu really didn't think about it.
He just simply couldn't do it.
After all, he is a member of the Li family.
His eyes wandered and finally landed on the food box Li Huazhang was carrying.
Is this the last meal and the last glass of wine for the two brothers before they say goodbye?
It might be the last drink in this life, right?
Li Kuangtu smiled mockingly, raised his chin, and gestured to the food box in Li Huazhang's hand.
Li Huazhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "If you are sincerely disgusting with me, then I admit that I am indeed disgusted by you this time."
He took a step forward and placed the food box in his hand next to Kuangtu Li: "Your things are here for you."
Li Kuangtu frowned.
The food box was ordinary and not expensive. It cost tens of dollars a piece in Zhongzhou. He reached out and casually opened the lid of the food box, took a look, and suddenly fell silent.
There is no last meal or drink between brothers.
The food box was empty.
"I just finished packing my things and went to the cafeteria to eat something. You may not know that in the cafeteria, no, all the daily necessities in Tiandu Purgatory are all sent by Tianlan to the people from the East Palace. The food, clothing, housing and transportation are just
In terms of specifications, it is much better than when you were here, so in the cafeteria just now, what I ate was not your food, and there was no need for me to spit it out. As for before, I ate your food and I also contributed to you.
, we owe nothing to each other. If you like this lunch box, just give it back to you."
Li Kuangtu stared at the food box in front of him and suddenly said: "If you deliberately disgusted me, you succeeded."
Li Huazhang laughed.
His smile was a little sad, and he said softly: "Not anymore. When we meet again, we will be real enemies. I won't show mercy then. Even if I die in your hands, when I go down to meet my uncle, I won't show any mercy."
I'll say bad things about you."
Li Kuangtu's fingers lightly touched the lunch box.
A subtle sword energy appeared, completely smashing the lunch box into pieces.
Li Huazhang took a deep look at Li Kuangtu. He seemed to want to say something more, but the matter was over, and there was no point in talking about it anymore. He nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go, you can take care of yourself."
The morning light in the south began to gradually brighten, and the night gradually became hazy in the morning light.
Li Kuangtu sat silently on the bench, watching Li Huazhang's figure getting further and further away in the hazy light. From beginning to end, his steps were steady and he did not look back.
Some came to say goodbye, and some never said goodbye.
After dawn, Tiandu Purgatory will completely cease to exist.
What will appear in the dark world will be a brand new force supported by the Central Continent Council.
Legion of Inferno.
Li Kuangtu's extremely weak mental power gradually spread towards the surroundings.
He saw Li Huazhang walking out of the door with Li's think tank.
I saw some other veterans packing their luggage and preparing to leave.
I saw the huge amount of supplies starting to pile up in Tiandu Purgatory.
I saw Dawn coming not far away with a pale face and weak breath.
Another group of people left Tiandu Purgatory.
Li Huazhang's departure seems to be a signal.
More and more people were leaving, but no one seemed to want to come and say goodbye to him.
Kuangtu Li took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked silently.
Amid the sound of slight footsteps, Ming Ming, who was seriously injured, slowly walked over.
He stood in front of Li Kuangtu, moved the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Brother."
"Um."
Li Kuangtu nodded and said slowly: "How are you packing your things?"
"about there."
Li Ming took a breath and said.
"I'm sorting it out. Organize it carefully. Since it is a big gift, it must look like a big gift."
Li Kuangtu said.
"What kind of gift?"
Liming glanced at Kuangtu Li with some confusion.
Li Kuangtu laughed: "These are the materials and properties we have sorted out right now in Tiandu Purgatory. If all of these are given to Li Tianlan... do you think this is a big gift?"
