Although Jiangjia Manor is located on the outskirts of the capital of Northern Xinjiang, the surrounding area is not deserted.
With the manor as the center, there is a snack street, a star hotel, a residential area, a park, a square, and even a hospital, school, and kindergarten radiating around it.
The manor is located in the center of this area. When viewed from above, this area is like a city within the capital city, with a self-contained feeling.
The Jiang family's success is entirely because of Jiangshan.
It took nearly twenty years of parliamentary career to achieve everything the Jiang family has now, but for the truly wealthy families, this period of time means that the Jiang family is young enough, and it also means that they lack enough foundation.
But regardless of the background, if everything is put on the table, the area near Jiangjia Manor looks equally intimidating. During the Northern Xinjiang elections two years ago, one of the Northern Xinjiang directors and the speaker of the capital even proposed
The area where the manor is located is separated from the city and renamed Jiang County. Whether this proposal is a sincere flattery or an ulterior motive, it is enough to show Jiangshan's terrifying influence in northern Xinjiang.
"It's basically a small city."
As cars drove on the street, Li Tianlan looked at the scene outside the window and commented casually.
The area in front of us is far larger than a small town in terms of scale and prosperity, but it has not yet reached the scale of a county town. However, in northern Xinjiang, it is reasonable to treat this area as a county town.
"Jiang Shan is a capable person."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled: "I have seen some reports about this 'Jiang County'. The area radiating out from the Jiang Family Manor has a population of nearly 60,000. This may not be considered a big deal in other places.
, but this is northern Xinjiang.
These 60,000 people were just servants and their families in the manor at first. Jiangshan passed some small policies here, and then the number of people began to increase. Their fate was tied to the Jiang family intentionally or unintentionally.
, here, Jiangshan can be said to be the absolute master.
No one knows what identities the residents in this area have behind their surface identities. They may be intelligence officers, elites secretly trained by Jiangshan, or other...
The council meeting of the council even specifically discussed this matter, which put great pressure on the Prince Group. After all, in name, before Jiang Shangyu came to prominence, Jiang Shan had always been considered a member of the Prince Group, but even the Prince Group felt that
Jiang Shan stayed in Northern Xinjiang for too long.
If the area we see is just the core strength displayed by Jiangshan, then no one knows how many tentacles Jiangshan has in the entire northern Xinjiang.
This problem has accumulated until now, and if I think about it carefully, I guess Li Huacheng won't even be able to sleep."
"After all, this is a position that a director cannot change."
Li Tianlan smiled.
"The superficial glory means little."
Dongcheng Wudi's eyes flashed: "The thing you said is the follow-up to the thing I said.
Jiangshan went too far in some places. We forced the Prince Group, and the Prince Group could only transfer the pressure to Jiangshan. At that time, Guo Wentian had not yet come up, and Chen Fangqing was still the second prime minister. It was Chen Fangqing who proposed to bring Jiangshan up and make him the new prime minister.
director.
This kind of thing should be left to other congressmen, and no one can object.
But Jiangshan is different. He has been in Northern Xinjiang for too long and has a deep foundation. If he goes to Youzhou, it seems that he has been promoted to a higher level, but if he turns around, Northern Xinjiang will be divided up.
So Jiang Shan refused to become a director, and even said in an internal meeting of their Prince Group that unless the position that Chen Fangqing aimed at was given to him.
Seriously speaking, it is actually right. If Jiang Shan goes to Youzhou, Li Huacheng's position, Chen Fangqing's position, or my position, choosing one of the three is enough to impress him, but the latter ones are of less significance."
Dongcheng Wudi said casually, and suddenly said: "Ankang and Zhou Yu, the candidates have been chosen.
come yet?"
Qin Weibai opened his mouth subconsciously.
Li Tianlan had already spoken in advance: "Zhou Yu will be here."
Ji Ankang and Zhou Yu are currently the two most outstanding officers in the new group. The former was once Wu Zhengmin's secretary and is now the number three figure in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The latter is inextricably linked to the Northern Group.
The new group has already set its sights on Northern Xinjiang. This was one of the conditions that Li Huacheng gave to Li Tianlan. For the time being, the possibility of squeezing out the country is not very high, but if he wins the position of governor of Northern Xinjiang, he will be equipped with a few comrades.
There is no problem at all if you come to Beijiang and get a seat in advance.
Originally, the new group's initial plan was to transfer Ji Ankang and Zhou Yu to occupy the second and third positions respectively, and completely set up the country. However, with the reconciliation with the academic group, the new group's operating space will obviously be larger.
, Ji Ankang can be liberated and join the cabinet, and Zhou Yu can come to northern Xinjiang, so as to maximize the benefits.
At this point, even the Prince Group would not be too opposed.
After all, Jiangshan's increasingly subtle stance has made the Prince Group feel threatened. Guo Wentian's current proposal is to abandon Northern Xinjiang and Jiangshan, using this as a bargaining chip in exchange for other interests.
For example, Wang Qinglei’s future arrangements.
"Zhou Yu..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Dongcheng Wudi's mouth. Dongcheng Wudi did not expect that this young leader who was once trained as a successor by the Northern Group could be penetrated so deeply by Han Donglou. After he joined the new group, his stance became even more extreme.
Determined and aware of his position in various situations, Dongcheng Wudi is even quite confident that after Zhou Yunhai retreats, it will take a few years to operate and integrate the entire Northern Group into the new group.
"Good candidates. Zhou Yu comes to Northern Xinjiang and Ankang goes to the cabinet. They can cooperate better with Wu Xiang."
Dongcheng Wudi said.
"yes."
The vehicle is about to enter the gate of Jiangjia Manor.
A familiar figure walked out of a beautifully decorated breakfast shop opposite the gate of the manor. He also saw Li Tianlan's vehicle, was stunned for a moment, and waved hello.
There was a plastic bag hanging on his hand, and several fat white buns in the plastic bag swayed slightly as he waved.
Wang Shengxiao.
The sun has risen in northern Xinjiang.
Under the sun, Wang Shengxiao smiled brightly, and Ruoyouruowu's aura kept fluctuating on his body.
Li Tianlan thought for a moment and said, "Stop the car."
He opened the door and got out of the car.
Qin Weibai also walked down and stood beside him aggrievedly.
Dongcheng Wudi didn't say much and entered the Jiang family manor in silence.
Li Tianlan stood quietly across the road, watching Wang Shengxiao walking over step by step with a bun in his hand.
The vague aura fluctuations all over his body became increasingly clear and obvious.
"Morning."
Wang Shengxiao said hello, his tone was very normal, and his body was very relaxed. It was as natural as meeting a friend or neighbor during morning exercise. Just looking at this picture, no one would have thought that in the middle of the night seven days ago, both parties were working hard.
Try your best to fight to the death to kill each other.
"Invincible?"
Li Tianlan asked.
He could feel Wang Shengxiao's weakness, which meant that the other party was injured, but he could also feel the strength of the other party. This came from Wang Tianzong's sword energy. With his injury, he could still carry Wang Tianzong's sword energy. This could only mean that
One thing is that the other party has broken through again and officially entered the invincible realm.
Wang Shengxiao was just thirty years old this year.
At such an age and at such a level, if Li Tianlan hadn't been ahead of him, Wang Shengxiao could be said to be the youngest invincible master in the dark world in the past century.
"I can't help it. Beihai is like this now. No matter what, I can't escape the blame, but no matter what, I have to hold on. In a short time, I am the only one who can stand up.
.”
Wang Shengxiao shook his head. The miracle potion allowed him to forcibly break through to the invincible state, but this breakthrough was a transformation of the physical body, an improvement in strength, speed, and physical fitness. It had nothing to do with will, and had nothing to do with the understanding of the sword.
Under normal circumstances, martial arts breakthroughs are balanced, and gene potions can be used to forcibly improve them, but the physical strength is higher than the sword's understanding. Wang Shengxiao seems to have no problem now, because he carries Wang Tianzong's sword energy, and the sword energy is stronger than the body, but
Without the blessing of Wang Tianzong's sword energy, his breakthrough this time would actually be a bit nondescript, and it would at least take longer to stabilize his state before he can continue to move forward.
But Wang Shengxiao had no choice.
The Wang family in Beihai was originally at its weakest. If he could not even achieve a peak invincibility, all those who coveted Beihai would become restless. Wang Shengxiao could not bear the consequences.
It is easy to say that we will face the end together.
But that is the tragic end of the road.
No one wants to die if he can live.
"You seem to be very weak now."
Wang Shengxiao looked at Li Tianlan carefully and said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I almost died."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "The three people you found are difficult to deal with."
"What a pity...what a pity..."
Wang Shengxiao shook his head with regret.
"Nothing to regret."
Li Tianlan suddenly laughed: "Don't you want to try it now? It's a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will have no chance in the future."
"Sounds reasonable."
Wang Shengxiao laughed cheerfully: "But now I'm not even sure whether you are standing in front of me. I'm not even sure whether the weakness you show is real or just a figment of my imagination. I'm going to take action now, isn't it? No more fun?"
He glanced at Qin Weibai, who was standing quietly next to Li Tianlan.
With this woman who has reached a transcendent state in the spiritual realm, Wang Shengxiao is not even sure whether what he is seeing and hearing is true. Taking action now is almost equivalent to committing suicide.
Moreover, the weak Li Tianlan was also Li Tianlan, and Wang Shengxiao, who was seriously injured, had no interest in taking action.
Even taking a step back, if possible, Wang Shengxiao would rather avoid the East Palace now.
The rise of the Eastern Palace has been unstoppable.
From the moment the alliance operation failed, this was already an established fact.
Of course the Beihai Wang family would not give in, but they had no other way to snipe.
Compared with sniping at the East Palace, how to deal with Wang Xiaoyao is the first problem they have to face now.
In the short term, the rise of the Eastern Palace will affect the status of the Wang family in Beihai.
But Wang Xiaoyao's rise, no matter how you look at it, affects the survival of the entire Imperial Army Mountain.
No matter what happens to Li Tianlan, now Wang Shengxiao has to put it aside.
Wang Shengxiao opened the plastic bag in his hand, took out a bun and took a bite. He raised his chin and pointed to the direction of the manor: "I have a serious problem inside now, and I am no longer interested in you and the East Palace. How about you? Are you interested in collaborating with me?"
"Not interested in."
Li Tianlan said casually and took out a bun from the plastic bag in Wang Shengxiao's hand. He subconsciously handed it to Qin Weibai first, then took another bun himself and took a big bite.
Wang Shengxiao didn't mind either. The three of them ate steamed buns and walked into the manor slowly. Wang Shengxiao sighed softly and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about how to trick you into helping me solve the internal troubles, but I really can't think of any reason. Tsk, let's cooperate in the future. The opportunity is basically gone."
"Yes, I have."
Li Tianlan glanced at him and said calmly: "We can always cooperate on the matter of Yuetong."
