When Li Tianlan asked this question, his mind instinctively began to think about what Jiang Shangyu wanted.
What Jiang Shangyu currently has in his hands is very attractive even to Donghuang Palace, and it is also attractive to Li Tianlan.
If you want to accurately describe the value of this...
Judging from the current plans of Donghuang Palace, if Jiang Shangyu gets this part of the say, plus Donghuang Palace’s existing ones, then Donghuang Palace will not need to deploy in Zhongzhou.
When all this is added together, the influence has exceeded the Eastern Palace's expectations in Central Continent, and they even have to actively give up part of it to truly stabilize in Central Continent.
In other words, if Jiang Shangyu had not withdrawn from Zhongzhou, the goal of the East Palace would definitely be to expand within Zhongzhou as Li Tianlan entered the parliament, improve his team, and make the new group complete. This process would inevitably be related to Zhongzhou's.
Various groups clashed.
But now, with Jiang Shangyu's withdrawal, all this is no longer needed. As long as they take the chips in Jiang Shangyu's hand, the power of the Eastern Palace in Zhongzhou will exceed expectations, and they will have more energy to deal with Zhongzhou.
external situation.
This is an important benefit that can directly affect the overall expansion speed of the Eastern Palace.
Li Tianlan naturally wants these benefits too.
But when he came to Northern Xinjiang, he didn't have much expectations.
Wang Shengxiao, Wang Xiaoyao, and Li Kuangtu all had the same reason for coming to Northern Xinjiang to attend Jiang Shangyu's funeral.
Only Li Tianlan came here for a very complicated reason.
Naturally, there are reasons driven by profit, but there are not many such reasons, because Li Tianlan himself knows very well that Jiang Shangyu is unlikely to hand over this bargaining chip to him.
He came here because of profit reasons, but also because of Jiang Shangyu's death. More importantly, besides coming to Northern Xinjiang, Li Tianlan didn't know where else he could go.
He doesn't want to go back to the East Palace, not at all.
The city under construction, the foundation of Donghuang, Li Tianlan instinctively rejects it every time he thinks about it.
He also didn't want to return to the family that truly belonged to him in the Central Plains. In this state, he felt a bit worthless when he returned to the Dongcheng family.
He also doesn't want to go to Youzhou. Gu Xingyun has fallen. Li Tianlan's appearance in Youzhou at this time means that he will officially take over everything left by Gu Xingyun, including all positions and powers, and become Zhongzhou's special adviser and
The war god who protects the country in Central Continent.
He really has no interest in doing this right now.
So he left the Eastern Palace for Annan that night, overturned the alliance, established himself as the invincible in the world, and after breaking the boundaries of time and space and returning to his own world, Li Tianlan suddenly found himself in a homeless situation.
There is a home that cannot be returned, and a state of confusion where one does not want to do work.
In this state, he didn't want to do anything, but he instinctively hoped that there would be something that would allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Yes, just do something.
As long as you don't go back to the East Palace, don't go home, and don't do business, then you can do anything.
So he came to attend Jiang Shangyu's funeral.
In fact, don't talk about Jiang Shangyu's funeral.
Even if Jiang Shangyu's dog died and Li Tianlan was invited to attend the funeral, Li Tianlan would come without hesitation.
It's just a visit anyway, there's nothing else to do anyway, just casual, it's good to pass the time.
But he didn't expect that he would still be restless after arriving here.
Jiang Shangyu, who was originally the least likely to hand over the chips in his hand, chose to hand them over to him.
The mercy and charity of a defeated dog...
No matter what, this bargaining chip was presented to him, and it was impossible for Li Tianlan to refuse it.
He is willing to accept it.
But Li Tianlan, who never thought he would get this bargaining chip, never thought he would negotiate with Jiang Shangyu, let alone what Jiang Shangyu wanted.
So he couldn't set a price, so he had to let Jiang Shangyu set his own price.
"If possible, I would like to stay in Zhongzhou..."
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a long time, then smiled to himself and spoke slowly.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
"I can't stay...Li Huacheng wants to force me to leave. If I stay,
It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”
Jiang Shangyu sighed, looked at Li Tianlan, and suddenly said: "Although the situation in Zhongzhou is very bad for me now, it is at least better than if I leave. If I leave now, I basically have nowhere to go. I can't stay in Zhongzhou."
, I can’t go to the East Island, and Europe is a restricted area. The only places I can go to are Star Country or Snow Country...
If I stay, I can be considered as a three-pronged force with you and Kuangtzu Li. Although I will be suppressed by you and Kuangtzu Li, with the Beihai Wang family here, at least I still have a chance. You are probably thinking that I am yours.
I want to leave...heh...how is that possible?"
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
Li Huacheng's forced expulsion of Jiang Shangyu from Zhongzhou was indeed beyond his expectation. No, it should be beyond everyone's expectation.
Li Tianlan didn't know for a while what kind of situation Li Huacheng wanted behind this operation.
But anyway...
Jiang Shangyu chose to hand over the chips in his hand to himself. This should be something his teacher did not expect, right?
And it seems that this situation is not what the teacher wants to see.
So, is this why Jiang Shangyu left all this to himself?
Are you angry because you are unhappy with Li Huacheng?
Isn't it a bit too childish?
"So...why did you choose to trade with me?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"Who can you choose if you don't choose?"
Jiang Shangyu's voice was calm: "Those two Wangs from Beihai? There is no point in leaving it to them. Neither Wang Xiaoyao nor Wang Shengxiao will be able to pay attention to the outside world before they deal with each other.
If you leave it to Li Kuangtu, don’t you still understand his character?
The alliance's actions have touched the bottom line of the parliament. Now that the action is over, no matter how you play with Kuangtu Li, you must follow the rules.
It's not easy for you to touch Kuangtu Li, and it's not easy for Kuangtu Li to touch you. Under such circumstances, he will most likely choose to deal with me as soon as possible. After all, he has already made a breakthrough. He has a different mentality than before the breakthrough, and he will retreat.
Ten Thousand Steps said, even if I choose to trade with him, what can he give me now that he is completely broke?"
Jiang Shangyu glanced at Li Tianlan: "After much thought, you are the only choice."
Li Tianlan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Jiang Shangyu's answer seems normal.
But if you look closely, it seems to have a different meaning.
Li Tianlan didn't know if he was overthinking it. He looked into Jiang Shangyu's eyes and said, "You are afraid that Kuangtu Li will deal with you, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?"
Jiang Shangyu looked directly at Li Tianlan, with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "To deal with me, do you still have time to deal with me next? No matter what choice you make, you are busy, so as long as I don't offend
In your interests, you won’t have time to care about me in a short period of time, right?”
It's this feeling again...
Li Tianlan frowned slightly.
On this occasion, when chatting with Jiang Shangyu, it actually doesn't matter what he said. The important thing is that Jiang Shangyu didn't say anything.
So...he means...
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Jiang Shangyu took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Tianlan. The two of them lit the cigarette. In the thick smoke, Jiang Shangyu's voice rang out: "Do you know who I admire the most in my life?"
Nice romance
Before Li Tianlan spoke, he continued: "It's my father. Although he is in the parliament, in fact, in the eyes of major groups, the Jiang family is actually like this.
We won't talk about what he has done for Middle-earth over the years.
As a father, he gave himself two sons...well, two sons.
He gave us everything he could.
As the head of a family, for the sake of the stability of our small family, he has to deal with the Prince Group and major groups, and has been in northern Xinjiang for twenty years. Outsiders cannot imagine how difficult it is, but he has done it.
Actually...it's really enough.
The Jiang family originated from Wei Mo. It is incomparable to your Li family, far worse than the Wang family in Beihai, and even inferior to Kunlun City. The resources I have received since childhood are naturally much worse than those of Wang Shengxiao and others.
Yes, but what I get, whether it is the environment, resources, or anything else, is the best he can give us. I am very content, really.
Let me tell you a story, I have many stories..."
"What do you want to say?"
Li Tianlan directly interrupted Jiang Shangyu: "Sorry, I'm allergic to stories recently."
Jiang Shangyu seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "I can probably understand."
He took a deep drag on the cigarette and said softly: "I just want to say that he is a good father, but we are unfilial sons..."
Li Tianlan did not make any comments.
"Didn't you ask me what I wanted?"
Jiang Shangyu took a deep breath: "I want a promise from you."
"you say."
Li Tianlan had a guess in his mind.
"We're enemies, right?"
Jiang Shangyu suddenly asked.
Li Tianlan squinted and looked at Jiang Shangyu: "Tell me your request."
"I can give you whatever you want, everything."
Jiang Shangyu said in a low voice: "I will leave Zhongzhou, but my father... I can't take care of him anymore. I want your promise. We are enemies. I don't need you to help me take care of my father, but I want you to ensure that he is here."
For the safety of Zhongzhou, whether you face Kuangtu Li or the Wang family of Beihai, you must ensure his safety."
He looked up at Li Tianlan: "Can you guarantee it?"
Li Tianlan thought about today's funeral.
He killed Jiang Shangyu and Jiangshan's son, but now another Jiang Shangyu wants him to ensure Jiangshan's safety.
Let a person who has a grudge against Jiang Shan for killing his son protect his safety.
Is it funny? Is it ridiculous?
Jiang Shangyu did not mention the hatred in Jiangshan's heart.
Not mentioned, most important.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Tianlan vaguely settled on some ideas.
He nodded directly and said calmly: "I promise you."
Jiang Shangyu smiled.
"We don't need to sign any agreement. Although you and I are hostile, I believe in your promise."
He whispered: "I hope you can keep your word, otherwise..."
He did not continue.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
There suddenly became an extremely silent silence between the two of them.
"so be it."
I don't know how long it took before Jiang Shangyu said softly: "Congratulations, two-thirds of the say in the Zhongzhou Special Warfare System, or even more, including the entire Northern Xinjiang, belongs to you. Even if the Li family was
In the most glorious time, I didn’t have this right to speak. Now...it’s all yours.”
After a pause, he murmured: "It's all yours."
Li Tianlan hummed.
"You go."
Jiang Shangyu suddenly smiled: "There is nothing more to say between you and me. You build your dynasty, and I am going to find my chance."
He took a long drag on his cigarette.
When the smoke drifted out from his mouth, he suddenly coughed violently.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully: "Your injury is more serious than I thought."
On the night of the alliance's operation, Jiang Shangyu left the field in time. He should not have been so seriously injured.
"yes."
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "This is exactly what I want to remind you."
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Do you know how I got injured? My current injury has nothing to do with the actions of the alliance, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Li Huacheng?"
Li Tianlan's heart moved.
"This Speaker is the person I can't understand the most right now...So, it may not be a good thing if you get too close to him."
Jiang Shangyu looked at Li Tianlan with a smile but not a smile: "Do you know how he forced me to leave Central Continent? In addition to using his power, he also used his force."
"Three seconds. From beginning to end, the whole process was only three seconds. He didn't even move, and I was already seriously injured."
