When Qin Weibai, who was worried, took Han Xinyan out of the airport, Dongcheng Wudi, who had been waiting at the exit for about half an hour, got out of the car and waved to her.
Qin Weibai, who was in a daze, subconsciously showed a reluctant smile, walked over quickly, and called daddy.
Dongcheng Wudi's originally tense expression softened, and he nodded with a smile. For him, his son has been calling him Minister until now. Although he can probably understand Li Tianlan's inner awkwardness, he still feels a little regretful.
Most of this regret has been made up for by Qin Weibai.
If a son doesn't have a name to call him, it's the same thing if his daughter-in-law can call him a name.
"Why, you don't come to An'an often, so you don't know the way?"
Dongcheng Wudi joked: "I remember that you and Qiuchi have a very good relationship. If you let her know, she will be unhappy."
Before Li Tianlan entered the world, Qin Weibai, who was in Huating, had a close relationship with Dongcheng Qiuchi, who was also working in Huating at that time. Of course, there were not many official matters involved. When both parties were not busy, the two of them would behave like ordinary people.
Women would eat, go shopping or even watch movies together, or share some trivial matters in life and the troubles that Wang Xiaoyao was entangled with.
The two of them have never talked about being best friends, but their relationship is indeed somewhat similar.
It wasn't until Li Tianlan was with Qin Weibai after he entered the world that Dongcheng Qiuchi realized it belatedly. He often joked and teased Qin Weibai that he had ulterior motives for becoming her best friend. Her real purpose was to become his sister-in-law.
"I know the way..."
Qin Weibai pursed his lips and said softly: "I'm just...a little scared. I was afraid that Tianlan didn't want to see me, so I called you and we went there together."
"That kid doesn't want to see you? Why?"
Dongcheng Wudi was stunned subconsciously.
"Maybe I did something wrong to make him angry."
Qin Weibai whispered, feeling a bit like she was taking the blame, but she couldn't say anything because she was taking the blame.
In fact, it would be better if Bai Qingqian was present in this matter. When the time comes, she can hide behind Bai Qingqian, and the buffer space will be larger. Facing Dongcheng Wudi, there are some gestures that she cannot do.
But the key to this matter still lies in Li Tianlan.
Qin Weibai was not sure why Li Tianlan abandoned Xuanyuan Feng, but if things were really as she guessed, she didn't know how useful Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian could be. But anyway, with the elders around,
It can make her feel more at ease.
Dongcheng Wudi looked at Qin Weibai, who was a little flustered and absent-minded but forced himself to remain calm, and found it difficult to understand.
Some people say that when a man's strength and status reach a certain level, the women around him can really behave like pet cats.
And Qin Weibai...
At least half of Li Tianlan's current status was given by Qin Weibai.
This daughter-in-law pushed Li Tianlan to a high enough position, and she stayed by Li Tianlan's side. Most of the time, she was even more well-behaved than a pet cat.
That kind of meekness is incomprehensible to most people.
Many times, even as Li Tianlan's father, Dongcheng Wudi couldn't stand it.
As an old man who started a cold war with his wife shortly after they got married and lived apart for many years after their child was born, he would not admit that this was due to a man's jealousy, but in his opinion, Qin Weibai really doted on Li Tianlan a little too much.
I'm used to it, and sometimes it's completely over the top.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
But Dongcheng Wudi can be sure that his son has such a wife. If the two of them really separate one day, Li Tianlan will not get used to living with any woman, and it is impossible to get used to it.
"fine."
Dongcheng Wudi was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "If that kid dares to bully you, your mother and I will support you."
When he said this, a very strange emotion emerged from his heart unconsciously.
Even after all this time, even though the daughter-in-law opposite called him daddy, he still couldn't fully adapt to the fact that this kind of woman became his daughter-in-law.
Qin Weibai's strength, her identity, and the meaning she represents, all combined, are really not comparable to any woman of the same age, but now she is such a strange woman, she doesn't know what she has done, and she is actually scared.
They don't dare to face their son alone...
This feeling is very abstract, a little helpless, a little angry, and a little... secretly happy that I don't want to admit but I have to admit.
"Thank you dad."
Qin Weibai laughed, very sweet.
She glanced at Han Xinyan who was following her, and gave simple and direct instructions: "Go and drive."
Han Xinyan, who was wearing extremely delicate makeup, pursed her lips, took over the role of driver in the car without saying a word, and sat in the driver's seat.
Dongcheng Wudi told the driver to go back, and then got into the back seat of the vehicle with Qin Weibai.
The vehicle starts slowly.
Dongcheng Wudi's cell phone rang.
In fact, whether on the plane or while waiting for Qin Weibai, he basically never put down his mobile phone.
News of Li Tianlan's appearance began to spread from Lin'an, and more and more people knew and confirmed the authenticity of the news. Dongcheng Wudi, who now controls the army, has too many things to deal with in this sensitive situation.
"Are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses coming back?"
Qin Weibai asked suddenly as he watched Dongcheng Wudi hang up the phone.
"yes."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled: "But this does not mean that we will withdraw our fists, but we will refocus our strength and fight in a stronger way.
I don’t know what Tianlan’s current situation is, but I just received a call from Speaker Li Huacheng. Not only the Terracotta Warriors, but also all the forces currently active outside of Central Continent have entered a state of silence.
Tianlan will take control of the power left by Gu Xingyun in advance, and the Central Continent Special Warfare System will fully respect Tianlan's will in the future direction of things."
Qin Weibai nodded thoughtfully.
There is a lot of excitement inside and outside Central Continent right now.
To be exact, the whole world is very lively now, both overtly and covertly.
Li Tianlan disappeared for a short time, but what is certain is that as long as Li Tianlan reappears, it is inevitable that he will take control of the Central Continent's special warfare system in advance and become the God of War to protect the country.
As for entering the parliament, becoming a member, and a series of things such as specific positions that are known to the public, they have to wait until after the election, but the current situation forced Li Tianlan to take control of his power in advance.
there are many reasons.
Because Gu Xingyun has fallen, Kunlun City is currently in an unstoppable collapse.
Because of the complete destruction of the Purgatory Legion, Li Kuangtu, who is currently the so-called genius with the highest level in the dark world and has almost become a polished commander, is still staying in Nanyun Camp.
Because of Jiang Shangyu’s strange ‘fall.’
Also because of the split of the Beihai Wang family and the entry of the Dawn Army into the Beihai Province, further chaos was created.
This comes from internal confusion and pressure.
When these things are combined, everyone can see that the hidden power within Central Continent has fallen into an inevitable state of turmoil.
The reason why the parliament did not make a clear response to this was because of Li Tianlan's disappearance.
Li Tianlan is just missing. Those who really believe that he has fallen are the minority among the minority.
When he was missing and difficult to arrange, Li Kuangtu was also unable to arrange it.
First arrange for Li Tianlan, confirm Li Tianlan's status, then support Li Kuangtu, eliminate the influence left by Gu Xingyun and Jiang Shangyu, reach a certain degree of tacit understanding with Wang Xiaoyao, put pressure on Emperor Bingshan from different directions, and achieve dismemberment
The purpose of the Beihai Wang family.
In this way, Zhongzhou can regain its internal balance and then begin to eliminate external hidden dangers.
Star Country.
Angel group!
Several groups of the Angel Lord Group have already taken action under the decisive decision-making of the Star Nation Council.
Xingguo has been holding back for too long. As the second largest country after Zhongzhou, when it finally saw the opportunity after waiting for hundreds of years, Xingguo made the decision almost without any hesitation.
With the dispatch of the Angel Lord Group, the European Continental Alliance, Red Maple, Korea, and even the Snow Country all responded to a certain extent.
Naturally, no one would dare to start a war directly.
However, despite the internal chaos in Central Continent, they did not lack the courage to eliminate Central Continent's forces on their own territory.
Zhongzhou's global layout has suffered serious damage in the past few days, and with the news of Li Tianlan's disappearance, the forces led by the Star Kingdom have become even more unscrupulous. Three days ago, there was even a 'mysterious'
The force directly attacked Central Continent’s headquarters in America, which almost stepped on Central Continent’s bottom line.
On the other hand, they also regard the African continent as a battlefield for their game with Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou has been hit to varying degrees in many strategic locations on the African continent. Zhongzhou has dispatched the Zhongzhou Four Spirits and Terracotta Warriors troops. It is currently in a stalemate.
, but this stalemate also means that Zhongzhou is suffering losses every day.
The reason why the parliament can remain calm is because they have enough confidence. This does not mean that the losses do not exist.
Moreover, it is said that there is one of the most mysterious and most powerful teams in the Angel Corps, which seems to be still in Annan, and seems to be searching for traces of Li Tianlan.
Internally and externally.
The appearance of Li Tianlan directly became the core of all problems.
So Zhongzhou immediately issued the order.
Internal matters can be resolved by parliament.
As for external affairs, dealing with the Star Kingdom, the Continental Alliance, the Snow Kingdom, Goryeo, Red Maple and all other forces, this is Li Tianlan's main focus next.
Qin Weibai thought quietly.
The East Palace should also take this opportunity to expand with Li Tianlan's work.
This is the best opportunity.
When Li Tianlan successfully solves all this, the East Palace will truly become the dynasty of the dark world.
As Qin Weibai was thinking, the vehicle entered the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Council and stopped in front of Building No. 1.
Li Tianlan, who was wearing pajamas, and Dongcheng Qiuchi, a brother and sister who were dressed in home clothes, walked out of Building 1.
Because they had been notified by phone in advance, the siblings were not surprised when Dongcheng Wudi and Qin Weibai came together.
Li Tianlan silently took two steps forward and looked at Dongcheng Wudi who got out of the car.
Dongcheng Wudi was also looking at him.
It seemed that it was not until this moment that he was truly sure that Li Tianlan had returned to reality from the missing state. He breathed out softly, his eyebrows relaxed completely, and he laughed.
The laughter in the night was warm and mellow, and seemed to be two completely opposite extremes from his title of God of Death.
Li Tianlan's heart twitched for no reason, feeling extremely sour.
He thought again of the tombstones on the island in the center of Xihu Lake.
I thought of Dongcheng Wudi who died on the plane with his own fall in that time and space.
I thought of Dongcheng Qiuchi who gave birth to a child but died in prison together with the child.
The names Li Dongcheng spoke every sentence were grandpa and aunt.
But when the real person stood in front of Li Tianlan, when those illusory experiences were combined with the real name, huge depression and sourness surged out uncontrollably.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and nodded to Dongcheng Wudi: "Here we come, Dad."
"um, I..."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled and wanted to say something, but he suddenly froze.
Dongcheng Qiuchi was also stunned.
In her impression, her biological brother always seemed to have a somewhat complicated title of "minister" to her father.
What did he shout just now?
"you..."
As if he felt that he had an illusion, Dongcheng Wudi hesitated and said cautiously: "What did you call me?"
"dad."
Li Tianlan shouted again, and the invisible sourness kept rising, seeming to burst out of his eyes.
Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath subconsciously. He stood there and fiddled with his hands a few times as if he had nowhere to place them. In his confused thoughts, he was silent for half a minute before he let out a sigh.
His voice is very flat.
But in front of everyone's eyes, Dongcheng Wudi suddenly turned red.
Until this moment, Dongcheng Wudi seemed to be truly sure that his son, who was very young and was given away by his family as soon as he was born, had finally returned to him after many years.
Li Tianlan let out a long breath and did not dare to look at Dongcheng Wudi's eyes. In those red eyes, he vaguely saw the cruel fire exploding high in the sky, saw the crying and pleading in the prison, and saw
The red dress kept falling and flying from the sky, I saw the pupils dilating at the last second before the car accident, I saw the madness and sluggishness in the mental hospital where there was no reason.
Everything flickers and converges, eventually turning into the deepest despair.
It's all in the past.
Li Tianlan gritted his teeth and repeated it in his mind again.
"It's all over!"
He avoided Dongcheng Wudi's gaze and saw Qin Weibai getting out of the other side of the vehicle and Han Xinyan standing next to her.
Black coat, black trousers, white shirt, bare face.
Clear and elegant.
Han Xinyan, who wore exquisite makeup, could also be called stunning, but standing next to Qin Weibai, her presence seemed a little more fancy.
Qin Weibai stood quietly and looked at Li Tianlan, her eyes were very cautious.
Her existence is so perfect, like a dream.
Li Tianlan's heart seemed to be completely torn apart at this moment.
He felt like he was falling into the abyss, surrounded by endless torture and pain in the increasingly silent darkness, with eternal suffocation.
He felt like he was flying high into the sky, and all his emotions were completely stripped away, leaving only the purest indifference and emptiness.
He felt that he was standing at the junction of rising and falling. Pain and emptiness formed an irresistible storm, tearing at his heart and flesh. He stood quietly, maintaining the calmest posture.
He looked at Qin Weibai.
The woman who knows him best.
He once thought he knew everything about her and even possessed her soul.
He was enjoying the surrender and obedience of the goddess with peace of mind, like a fool who knew nothing.
No, it's a puppet, no, it's a substitute.
Substitute.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth moved.
He heard his own voice, calm and without any ripples: "You're here."
"Tianlan."
Qin Weibai subconsciously took a step forward.
Her heart kept sinking.
In the past, she could see too many things in Li Tianlan's eyes, see countless brilliance, which was pampering, infatuation, determination, a brilliance that could penetrate all the defense lines and even the bottom line in her heart.
But now, everything in the past is gone.
They disappeared in Li Tianlan's eyes, leaving only calm.
Li Tianlan looked at her as if he were looking at a stranger.
Li Tianlan didn't let her come over, he just turned sideways and said quietly: "Go in."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the villa.
Qin Weibai stood there, still holding out his hand, and was stunned.
She looked at the open door of Building 1, a hint of fear gradually appearing in her eyes.
But her steps moved forward slowly and uncontrollably.
