Leave the room where Jiang Shangyu is located, re-enter the mourning hall, and re-walk to the side hall where guests are received.
Li Tianlan was unusually silent along the way.
The negotiation with Jiang Shangyu itself was an accident for him.
The negotiation went so smoothly and Jiang Shangyu's request was so simple, which surprised him even more.
But the most unexpected thing was some of the information Jiang Shangyu revealed, as well as some unknown hints.
Jiangshan's safety is just a bargaining chip to be paid to Jiang Shangyu.
And something behind it...
Jiang Shangyu gave a hint.
And he was also sure that Li Tianlan understood the hint, so there was no need to talk about it in detail, as long as both parties knew it well.
"Tianlan, how was the conversation?"
Dongcheng Wudi, who was still drinking tea in the side hall, saw Li Tianlan coming in and asked immediately.
"very smooth."
Li Tianlan, who was silent all the way, nodded: "It went smoothly, which is a bit surprising."
"Accident?"
Dongcheng Wudi is also a bit surprised.
"It's not a surprise."
Li Tianlan said softly: "It's just that the order of negotiations is a little reversed."
Dongcheng Wudi looked confused.
Li Tianlan did not explain.
He was still thinking about his conversation with Jiang Shangyu.
This negotiation was indeed surprisingly smooth, but if...
If the order of this negotiation was reversed and Jiang Shangyu's last words were put at the front...
Then everything seemed to start to fall into place again.
Li Huacheng...
Li Tianlan's eyes flickered.
One thing that is undoubted is that when the alliance's action came to an end, with Li Kuangtu's breakthrough, Jiang Shangyu was injured when he left the field, but his condition was not bad.
Li Tianlan could not accurately determine the extent of his injuries, but he was certain that Jiang Shangyu was definitely not seriously injured at that time.
In other words, that injury will not affect Jiang Shangyu's performance.
The death of Jiang Shangyu is another point that cannot be grasped.
Li Tianlan suddenly looked at Qin Weibai, who was staring at him silently, and asked: "Does Jiang Shangyu's death have any impact on Jiang Shangyu's strength?"
After asking this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this question might be a bit redundant.
Qin Weibai was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "It should have no impact."
"It does not matter."
Li Tianlan muttered to himself and shook his head violently.
All signs indicate that Jiang Shangyu returned to Northern Xinjiang and the Jiang family manor with minor injuries that did not affect his strength.
Then he was forced by Li Huacheng.
Li Huacheng wants to drive him out of Zhongzhou.
Jiang Shangyu was unwilling to give in.
In this situation, I don't know who took the initiative. Anyway, the two had a very brief confrontation.
Very short indeed.
From beginning to end, for three seconds, Li Huacheng did not move, and Jiang Shangyu was seriously injured.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath slowly and slowly.
He knew that Li Huacheng was very strong. He had forced Li Huacheng to stay in the East Palace for more than a month. From then on, he knew that Li Huacheng was very strong, and Li Huacheng did not hide this.
He doesn't understand martial arts, but he is proficient in the so-called spiritual field. According to his words, his spiritual power is not as extreme as Li Kuangtu or Qin Weibai, but a balance.
This means that he has Qin Weibai's hypnotic ability, and he also has Li Kuangtu's fighting ability. Of course, this ability refers to the state before the two broke through.
After all, Li Huacheng has not yet broken through to transcendence.
If placed in martial arts, such strength is equivalent to Kuangtu Li before his breakthrough, surpassing the peak of invincibility but not touching the threshold of Tianjiao.
in other words...
Li Huacheng's current true strength should be at the same level as himself.
In three seconds, Jiang Shangyu, who was close to his peak state, was seriously injured.
Li Tianlan kept thinking about it and simulating it in his mind.
With such strength, before the alliance took action, Li Tianlan thought that he could not achieve it.
And now...
If his injury heals, he can do it within three seconds with all his strength, but not as calmly as Li Huacheng.
Of course, mental strength is different from martial arts. Li Huacheng, who seemed extremely motionless and calm, may not have gone all out at that time. If he really had to fight to the death, Li Tianlan may not be worse than Li Huacheng. But even so, this is shocking news.
Already.
Li Tianlan knew that Li Huacheng was very strong, but this strength was just a perception.
And the strength he revealed in front of Jiang Shangyu is the real fact.
He originally thought that Li Huacheng's strength was probably at the same level as Lin Fengting, a little stronger than Jiang Shangyu, and roughly similar to Li Kuangtu before the breakthrough.
This is what Li Tianlan thinks. He has never thought that Li Huacheng's true strength may not even be his opponent.
This feeling... is almost like a dream.
He obviously has such great strength, but why has he been hiding it for so many years?
There has never been a rule in Central Continent that a master cannot be the speaker.
On the contrary, if Li Huacheng's strength is exposed, it will be of great benefit to both Zhongzhou and the academy.
Especially academic ones.
Their disadvantage in the special warfare system was so great that when Li Tianlan first entered the world, they even hoped to win over Li Tianlan to establish their say in the special warfare system.
If Li Huacheng's strength had been exposed at that time, he would not have fallen to that level.
Li Tianlan is almost certain.
At that time, Li Huacheng's strength would be superior to Wang Tianzong.
But he kept hiding it, what was he trying to do?
Li Tianlan instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, or rather uneasy.
He could not judge Li Huacheng's specific thoughts, but after learning about his strength, he instinctively felt threatened.
Li Huacheng may not have wanted to harm him.
But with such an unfathomable old fox, anyone who comes close to him will feel a little uneasy.
This is probably Li Huacheng's purpose of hiding his identity?
"dad."
Li Tianlan suddenly shouted.
"Um?"
Dongcheng Wudi couldn't help but was stunned again, and then he came back to his senses, his eyes becoming gentler.
"What do you think of Speaker Li Huacheng?"
Li Tianlan asked slowly.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
Dongcheng Wudi was a little confused.
"I just want to know more about it."
Li Tianlan said simply.
Dongcheng Wudi subconsciously picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He pondered for a while and then slowly said: "That's just the superficial view."
"What?"
Li Tianlan rubbed his forehead.
"He is a qualified speaker, no, a pretty outstanding speaker."
Dongcheng Wudi said with certainty: "Regardless of mind, structure, vision, and means, in Central Continent's hundreds of years of history, there are not many who can truly compare with him, but there are really not many."
"But many people outside say that his control ability is lacking..."
Qin Weibai took the initiative to join the topic.
"That's because you don't understand it deeply."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled: "This kind of evaluation actually came from within the academy. It was a voice of dissatisfaction with Li Huacheng within the academy."
After a pause, he continued: "This person doesn't have much selfishness, and he doesn't care much about the differences between groups. The series of things he has done while sitting in the position of speaker over the years, it may not be appropriate to say that he is a talented person.
, but it is not too much to say that it is far-sighted.
Li Huacheng is good at employing people and is also good at looking at people. It does not mean how outstanding the people he chooses are, but that the people he chooses can complete the tasks they need to complete very well or even perfectly.
After all, the Academy was still too small before he gained momentum. This also led to the fact that after he came to power, there were not many talents to choose from in the Academy. At least compared to other groups, he did not choose many people.
Therefore, in many important personnel matters, he did not take too much care of the academic faction. Many academic factions were destined to win positions, but in the end he gave them to people from other groups...
Facts also proved that his choice was extremely correct.
As a result, there will naturally be dissatisfaction within the academic community, because his fairness has violated the interests of the group, but in fact..."
Dongcheng Wudi suddenly smiled: "When it comes to the ability to control the overall situation, Li Huacheng can definitely be said to be proficient or even at the pinnacle. From the time he took office to the present, there have been turmoils within Zhongzhou, confrontations between groups, and turmoil inside and outside.
He didn't seem to take any action, but everything finally achieved the result he wanted."
Dongcheng Wudi's voice paused and emphasized: "It's everything, there are no accidents.
How powerful was the Prince Group before?
How powerful was the Southeast Group before?
Compared to them, the academics are actually a bit pitiful.
But even so, Li Huacheng can still firmly control the situation, keeping the situation in Zhongzhou from the track. He seems to have done nothing, but no matter how the situation in Zhongzhou changes, it can generally form a balance.
How can ordinary people have this kind of skill?"
Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai frowned at the same time.
Dongcheng Wudi glanced at them, thought for a moment and said, "I'm talking about two things.
The first thing.
A few years ago, I was transferred from the Frontier Corps to the Ministry of Finance. After the first council meeting after the election, he kept me.
We chatted a lot at that time, and while chatting, he said that we will have to cooperate for at least ten years in the future, so we need to discuss many things with each other...
It was already the end of Li Huacheng's fourth year in office.
Under normal circumstances, our cooperation time is only five years.
At that time, I thought that after Li Huacheng retired, he still wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with us to establish a strong position as a monarch, but looking at it now..."
Li Tianlan remained silent.
Now...
The current situation is that Li Huacheng will be re-elected after the election.
Based on what he said at the beginning, isn't this ten years?
The only problem is...
How did he know then that he would be re-elected five years later?
At that time, Li Huacheng was still traveling thousands of miles away, and the situation in Zhongzhou was calm, with no signs at all.
"The second thing."
Dongcheng Wudi continued: "At that time, the chaos in Snow Country had just ended. When Tianlan came back from Snow Country and was still in a coma, he talked to me about the shortcomings within the wealthy group.
He said that the wealthy group was too loose and it was difficult to form sufficient combat effectiveness at critical moments. He also said that if I had any ideas, it would be an opportunity at that time.
I asked him what the opportunity was.
He said it was a chance to shuffle the cards...and..."
Dongcheng Wudi paused and said softly: "And he also said that this opportunity starts from when Tianlan wakes up and ends when Chen Fangqing passes away."
Grass!
Li Tianlan's scalp suddenly felt numb.
The chaos in Snow Country is over.
He returned to Youzhou in a coma. When did it happen?
At that time, Mormans's eternal sword had just come to an end.
And Beihai has just won the dominance of the underground world of Snow Country.
Wang Xiaoyao did not betray.
Wang Tianzong is not missing.
The North Sea still looks strong.
Li Tianlan did not sweep across Beihai, did not enter the desert prison, and the opportunity to suppress the Wang family and wealthy groups in Beihai did not arise at all.
At that time, Li Huacheng predicted Chen Fangqing's death?
How is this done?
Qin Weibai looked a little strange.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt that instead of being the Speaker, Li Huacheng might as well be a master of metaphysics, such as Master Xuan Xuanzi Wuwei, who might be even better than them.
"How did he do that?"
Li Tianlan was a little hard to understand.
"I do not know."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head: "But this is Li Huacheng. Everything is under his control. There are no accidents and there will be no accidents."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and said: "Let's go."
"Not going to the funeral?"
Dongcheng Wudi smiled.
"A farce."
Li Tianlan looked at the mourning hall outside and shook his head: "It's not interesting."
He walked toward the door and said calmly: "We will go to Liaodong first, and then to Youzhou."
"I don't know how the teacher did it, but I can just ask him."
