A black mid-range car slowly stopped outside the Jiang Family Manor. Li Kuangtu, who came to Northern Xinjiang alone, opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at the manor in front of him and subconsciously squinted his eyes.
Inside the manor, on a long stone bench near the mourning hall, Wang Shengxiao and Wang Tianzong were smoking cigarettes, looking very calm.
In the side hall next to the mourning hall, Dongcheng Wudi was drinking tea and listening to Li Tianlan talking.
Qin Weibai sat next to Li Tianlan. She seemed to be trying to stay calm, but her slightly red eye circles and haggard face still revealed her slight uneasiness.
These pictures appeared on the large monitor screen. Jiang Shangyu watched quietly and yawned helplessly.
"They came really early..."
Talking to himself, he picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip of water: "I originally wanted to take a nap."
"You can continue to sleep now."
Ma Si sat on the sofa nearby and said something in a hoarse voice.
After arriving in Northern Xinjiang for a few days, he was not too busy taking care of a series of funeral matters, but he obviously had not adapted to the climate in Northern Xinjiang and seemed to have caught a cold.
"Whether it's His Majesty Li Tianlan, Li Kuangtu, or the two Wangs from Beihai, I think they should all be patient enough to wait for you today."
"Tsk..."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head: "It sounds like I am really a big shot. The majestic Dongshuang, the so-called genius, the patriarch of the Beihai Wang family, and the Xiaoyao King of the Beihai Wang family are all waiting for me to summon them. I don't want to see them.
, they had to wait for me. It felt really cool to experience it once.
The so-called real big shot is just like this. When he has interests in his hands, he is aloof. When he has no interests, what is a big shot?"
Ma Si rubbed his forehead and stood up and said: "If you like this feeling, you can experience it. I am only responsible for informing you that the person who is supposed to come is here. How to do it is up to you.
I'm going to get busy."
He turned and walked towards the door.
"busy..."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "Are you busy serving Li Tianlan? With such a status as the chief secretary and such behavior, don't you think this will make people look down on you?"
Ma Si paused, turned to look at Jiang Shangyu, and sneered.
Although I have been busy organizing funerals these past few days.
But he didn't have the slightest fondness for Jiang Shangyu.
To be precise, Li Huacheng didn't like Jiang Shangyu at all. As his secretary, Ma Si naturally couldn't appreciate Jiang Shangyu.
But just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can't take advantage of it.
He could generally grasp Li Huacheng's thoughts, so although he had tried his best to prepare for the funeral these days, there was no need to be polite to Jiang Shangyu.
When everyone thought that Li Huacheng and Jiang Shangyu had an agreement, only Ma Si knew where the so-called agreement was.
"You are just a dog that was driven out of Middle-earth. A lost dog. Do you think it is important to me if you don't look down on me?"
"So you admit that you are eager to serve Li Tianlan, right?"
Jiang Shangyu smiled without any anger.
"I just do what I have to do."
Ma Si frowned and spoke calmly.
If he hadn't told Jiang Shangyu the news of Li Tianlan's arrival as soon as possible, Ma Si would have already appeared in front of Li Tianlan when Li Tianlan appeared.
At least compared to Jiang Shangyu, Li Tianlan is one of his own.
The academic school and the new group are in the honeymoon period.
The relationship between Li Huacheng and Li Tianlan is more of a teacher-student relationship.
This kind of relationship cannot be completely stabilized by just one word of teacher. In order to be more worthy of this teacher, Li Huacheng also showed enough sincerity in the alliance actions.
All actions to suppress the new group were completely cancelled.
After the alliance operation ended, the parliament did not put any pressure on the Eastern Palace.
On the night of the alliance's operation, as another key figure on another battlefield, the boss of the Bloody Legion, Thor, is still stationed near the capital of Annan.
The whole world was in an uproar. Pressures from inside and outside were brewing. Internal doubts and external accusations. These were the pressures that Dongcheng Wudi should have resisted. Li Huacheng shouldered them all. Not only did Thor not remove himself from his post, but even to this day, he
They can all continue to be stationed near the capital of Annan.
This is undoubtedly a great gift from Li Huacheng to Li Tianlan.
As long as the Bloody Legion does not withdraw, the Eastern Palace will be able to gain greater benefits from the subsequent negotiations with Annan.
In addition, Jiang Shangyu was driven out of Zhongzhou.
All kinds of actions showed that although Li Huacheng still wanted to balance, his position had begun to tilt towards Li Tianlan a little bit.
He is now almost determined to tie the academic school and the new group together.
As Li Huacheng's secretary, Ma Si naturally knew what attitude to use when facing Li Tianlan.
"I just wanted to say..."
Jiang Shangyu said with a smile: "If you are in a hurry to show your kindness to Li Tianlan, you don't have to leave in such a hurry. I will meet him here. It happens that there is a shortage of tea and water here, so you can wait beside me."
A sharp anger flashed in Ma Si's eyes, and he was stunned for a moment.
"You want to meet Li Tianlan here?"
There was undisguised surprise in his voice.
"Yeah, can't you?"
Jiang Shangyu waved his hand casually: "Go and make a pot of tea."
Ma Si frowned and stood still: "What do you mean?"
The real situation is different from what outsiders speculate.
Jiang Shangyu has almost absolute control over the part of the voice that he should have.
When he left Zhongzhou, Li Huacheng's request was very simple, that is, as long as this part of the power was not handed over to anyone outside Zhongzhou, the parliament would be able to accept it.
Jiang Shangyu can also use this right to speak that he could have obtained but was destined to not get in exchange for the last bit of chips.
How big this bargaining chip can be depends on who he wants to trade with.
Now that he meets Li Tianlan, this is enough to show Jiang Shangyu's tendency, but how is this possible?
Ma Si couldn't figure out Jiang Shangyu's purpose of doing this.
At least when it comes to fighting against Li Tianlan, even if Jiang Shangyu leaves Zhongzhou, his and Li Kuangtu's goals should be the same.
Therefore, no matter who he gives this part of the say in his hand, it should not be given to Li Tianlan.
The East Palace already has a dynastic atmosphere.
Next, all the Eastern Palace needs is expansion, continuous expansion. At present, almost no one can stop this trend.
Under such circumstances, after giving this part of the say to Li Tianlan...
Is this because he is afraid that Li Tianlan will be too troublesome in the expansion process, so he helps him?
If the situation really becomes like this, Kuangtu Li will not even have any room to breathe in Central Continent.
Ma Si's eyes flashed.
This possibility, no, this result is so incredible that he is not even sure if this is what Li Huacheng wants to see.
There was silence in the room.
On the surveillance screen, Jiang Shan walked into the side hall and said something to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan stood up.
Qin Weibai also stood up, as if she wanted to follow him, but after being glanced at by Li Tianlan, her body froze in place.
Jiang Shangyu raised his eyebrows as he watched this scene, and the smile on his lips became more meaningful.
He looked at Qin Weibai on the screen and thought repeatedly in his mind: If I can't beat Li Tianlan, how can I still beat you as a woman? Now the game is fair.
"Why?"
Ma Si's voice rang out.
"What?"
Jiang Shangyu asked casually.
"You want to hand over what you are holding to the Eastern Palace?"
Ma Si asked as if confirming something.
"Leave it to Li Tianlan, not to the East Palace."
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "You look surprised? Who do you think I will give it to?"
"I thought you would hand it over to Kuangtu Li."
Ma Si spoke in a calm voice.
This is what everyone agrees is the most likely option.
It is in Jiang Shangyu's best interests to hand it over to the now impoverished Li Kuangtu. In this way, with Jiang Shangyu's voice and his own, the Purgatory Legion can gain a firm foothold in Central Continent.
In addition, Li Kuangtu may not be the opponent of the East Palace, but within Central Continent, he at least has the qualifications to compete with Li Tianlan, which can naturally slow down Li Tianlan and buy Jiang Shangyu more time overseas.
Even if we take a step back, it is possible to hand it over to Wang Shengxiao and Wang Xiaoyao. Both of them will offer a sky-high price for the benefits in Jiang Shangyu's hands, but the possibility of handing it over to Li Tianlan is the smallest.
"If you leave it to Li Kuangtu, I will be the most dangerous next..."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head: "Li Huacheng likes balance very much. I suddenly discovered that I also like balance very much. Only by handing what I have to Li Tianlan can real balance appear."
Ma Si still frowned: "I don't understand."
"Can you understand, it doesn't make sense to me and it's not important."
Jiang Shangyu said in a calm voice: "The important thing is that I know what I am doing."
He looked at Li Tianlan on the screen.
Li Tianlan followed Jiang Shan out of the side hall, walked out of the mourning hall, and walked in the direction where he was.
Li Tianlan is very calm in the picture.
Calm without any emotion.
Jiang Shangyu watched with a smile, the more he watched, the happier he became.
"So, what are you doing?"
Ma Si felt inexplicably uneasy.
Jiang Shangyu not only failed to follow the script, but also chose a completely opposite script.
He had already begun to consider whether to report the news to Li Huacheng immediately.
"Look at this man..."
Jiang Shangyu did not answer Ma Si's question. He suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Li Tianlan on the screen, and chuckled: "He looks like a dog."
Ma Si stared at Jiang Shangyu, looked at him carefully for a few seconds, and then replied slowly: "But I personally feel that compared to him, you are more like a dog, and a bereaved dog with nothing."
"You're right. I am."
Jiang Shangyu was silent for two seconds before nodding: "I think so too."
So, can you understand my choice?
"I don't understand."
Ma Si's tone was calm.
"What's so hard to understand?"
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "I am a lost dog, how can he, Li Tianlan, be the same?
I gave him the chips in my hand...
Um....
This is the pity of one loser dog to another loser dog..."
