After hanging up the phone with Liu Qiang, Xiao Mohai charged up his mobile phone and looked more tired.
The sky gradually gets brighter.
A ray of sword light flew from the north and passed through the sky above the East Palace.
It's completely instinctive.
Xiao Mohai bowed slightly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. When the sword light disappeared, he straightened up and sighed.
His voice also became a little complicated, and he murmured to himself: "Your Majesty...how should I cooperate with you..."
There was a sound of water flowing behind him.
The sound was very slight, but it was extremely obvious to the ears of Xiao Mohai who was in the Thunder Realm.
He turned around suddenly and was stunned for a moment.
Li Tianlan, with blood stains all over his body, was standing behind him, picking up the cup and pouring himself a glass of water.
"His Majesty."
Xiao Mohai bowed again.
"Have you informed everyone that should be notified?"
Li Tianlan drank the warm water in the cup and asked casually.
"Notification has arrived."
Xiao Mohai nodded: "The latest one will be back tonight."
"Good."
Li Tianlan nodded and flicked the blood beads that had solidified on his collar.
"Before you came here, I was on the phone with Base 105."
Xiao Mohai hesitated and said softly.
He didn't mention Liu Qiang's name, and Li Tianlan might not have heard of it, so he simply mentioned Base 105.
Li Tianlan paused, was silent for two seconds, and then said, "What did they say?"
"They demanded an apology from Donghuang Palace and tenfold compensation."
Xiao Mohai smiled: "I refused. It is impossible to apologize and compensate, but we can provide a lot of assistance to Base 105. People from Base 105 will come to the East Palace to discuss this matter in detail.
"
"well done."
Li Tianlan nodded.
Xiao Mohai was even more hesitant. In the long silence, he hesitated for nearly half a minute before he tentatively said: "Your Majesty, Kuangtu Li...is really dead?"
Li Tianlan hummed.
Xiao Mohai took a deep breath. Even though he already knew the news, hearing Li Tianlan admit it personally, the impact was completely different.
Who is Kuangtu Li?
The former heir of the Li family, the person with the highest level in the entire dark world, in the hearts of many people in the Eastern Palace, Kuangtu Li is even a greater threat than the Wang family in Beihai.
After the alliance operation ended, with Li Kuangtu's breakthrough and the internal chaos of the Beihai Wang family, Li Kuangtu had become the number one enemy of the Eastern Palace.
The entire Central Continent and even the whole world are waiting for a good show of internal fratricide in the Li family, but who would have thought that Li Tianlan, who had been missing for a few days, would reappear and kill Kuangtu Li so neatly?
This proves that Li Tianlan is absolutely invincible in this era.
But the death of Kuangtu Li also means that the violent storm and even the stormy sea are bound to come next.
Just, why?
Xiao Mohai had some doubts in his eyes.
He couldn't understand why Li Tianlan suddenly wanted to kill Kuangtu Li.
This choice of timing is simply outrageous.
He didn't believe that Li Tianlan couldn't see the current situation, but he still made such a choice, and Xiao Mohai couldn't understand it.
It is obvious that Li Kuangtu is no longer a threat to Li Tianlan, at least in the short term. Li Tianlan himself is seriously injured, why can't this matter be suppressed temporarily?
After the election, it would be much better to wait until Li Tianlan's injuries stabilized before taking action than to directly kill Kuangtu Li tonight.
Will doing this now really have any benefit to the East Palace?
"Don't think too much."
Li Tianlan glanced at him: "It's okay."
"OK."
Xiao Mohai nodded and said softly: "What about your injury, Your Majesty?"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Tianlan shook his head. Li Kuangtu was difficult to deal with, but Li Tianlan avoided the most intense damage in the fight with him. Now he looked miserable with blood all over his body, but most of the blood came from Li Kuangtu and the others. His own
The accumulation of injuries has not reached a critical point.
Even in Li Tianlan's perception, he seemed to be getting further and further away from the critical point that would cause his body to collapse.
"The next three main things are."
Xiao Mohai was silent for a moment and said softly.
"Say it."
Li Tianlan nodded.
"First, how to face Zhongzhou's next series of actions."
Xiao Mohai glanced at Li Tianlan carefully and said with a wry smile: "The parliament will definitely not be satisfied with Kuangtu Li's death, but the problem is that Your Majesty's action was too simple, and Kuangtu Li is really dead, so the parliament
Even if you are dissatisfied, the possibility of completely falling out with us is not very high.
But they will definitely have other more clear demands. To put it simply, the parliament will definitely use this incident to suppress the East Palace, and the intensity will not be small. This time we may even break our muscles and bones.
..”
"Tell me the next thing."
Li Tianlan interrupted Xiao Mohai expressionlessly.
"The second thing..."
Xiao Mohai narrowed his eyes: "Eradicate the root of the problem, Your Majesty, you should know that Kuangtu Li has a son..."
Li Tianlan did not respond directly to this question and continued: "What about the third thing?"
Xiao Mohai seemed to realize something.
His eyes glanced at the blood that had not completely dried on Li Tianlan's body, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "The third thing, the dark world is very likely to cause some unnecessary troubles because of your actions to recall the senior officials of the East Palace.
Rumors, for example, you are seriously injured, your combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, and you need to be protected by experts from the East Palace...
But you killed Kuangtu Li tonight.
So there are two possibilities, either such rumors will not appear, or the rumors that appear will be more exaggerated, which is likely to have some subsequent impact, both internally and externally."
Li Tianlan's killing of Li Kuangtu tonight can be said to shock the dark world, but in the eyes of others, it may not be impossible to interpret that she is strong on the outside but capable on the inside and needs to eliminate all threats. As for the truth, it is not important. What is important is that at the end of the alliance operation
After that, Li Tianlan forcibly killed Li Kuangtu again, and his personal condition was indeed at its lowest point in recent years.
Facing Li Tianlan like this, different people will naturally have different thoughts.
So even if Li Tianlan kills Kuangtu Li, rumors will still appear as they should. For people who are desperate, they will believe any rumor and even try to do something about it.
Li Tianlan sneered and said quietly: "It's okay, I also want to see if anyone will do anything based on these rumors."
Li Tianlan's voice was very calm, with a calmness that everyone could clearly feel.
Xiao Mohai was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.
Li Tianlan picked up the pen on Xiao Mohai's desk and casually sketched a few words on the white paper in front of him.
His movements were very light and fast, and his fingers created an afterimage while holding the pen.
The tip of the pen traces a pattern on the paper.
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at the pattern, also thoughtful.
He suddenly couldn't figure out his current state.
He carefully recalled the final battle with Kuangtu Li, and the doubts in his heart began to deepen.
This feeling is indescribable.
Li Tianlan was sure that he was seriously injured now.
But his fighting power was much stronger than when he was chasing Li Kuangtu.
If you really want a more honest explanation...
Li Tianlan himself had no way to explain his specific state.
Light.
This is the only feeling he has right now.
That is all-round lightness in all aspects of the body.
In other words, Li Tianlan now feels that he can exert a power close to his peak even though his body is extremely fragile.
If before, he punched with a power of 9, the physical strength consumed was 9, and the power he withstood was also 9...
Now when he punches, the power is 7, the physical strength consumed is about 3, and the power he endures is about 1.
Simulate all this into data and everything will be clear.
This is obviously an extremely unreasonable phenomenon.
But this is indeed Li Tianlan's current state.
Therefore, even if there were no means that Li Tianlan could not explain for the time being, the current Li Tianlan and the Li Tianlan who were chasing Li Kuangtu were completely different concepts.
As for the so-called rumors, as long as he is strong enough, he really doesn't care much.
As long as the council doesn't go crazy, he can accept any situation.
"I'm going to take a rest."
Li Tianlan said: "When they all come back, wake me up."
"good."
Xiao Mohai bowed for the third time.
Before Li Tianlan's figure disappeared, he suddenly paused.
He turned to look at Xiao Mohai and asked: "If you were asked to give up your position as the general manager of the Eastern Palace now, would you be willing?"
"willing."
Xiao Mohai smiled: "As long as this is His Majesty's wish, the chief steward will not do it if he doesn't do it. I will just be your Majesty's housekeeper."
Li Tianlan laughed.
His figure disappeared silently into Xiao Mohai's office.
Xiao Mohai was silent for a while, sighed helplessly and with some understanding, and said softly: "So that's what you meant..."
He shook his head, shook his sore cervical spine, and planned to leave the office to rest.
But when he passed by the desk, his body suddenly froze in place, and his eyes widened subconsciously.
Next to where Li Tianlan was standing just now, there was an A4 paper and a pen on the desk.
That was the paper Li Tianlan had just picked up the pen and scratched casually on the paper.
A pattern has appeared on the paper.
Xiao Mohai's eyes were fixed on the pattern, dumbfounded.
He could recognize what was on the paper.
This is normal, but this is what is abnormal.
He had followed Li Tianlan since he left the desert prison, so he was very sure that Li Tianlan couldn't draw.
But the two strokes that Li Tianlan just sketched at random allowed Xiao Mohai to see at a glance what Li Tianlan had drawn.
There's no way I can't see it...
Drawn on the white paper is a tree.
A tree that looks extremely simple.
But when those simple lines fell into Xiao Mohai's sight, they felt indescribably lifelike, a reality that was more real than reality.
Almost instantly, the tree seemed to come alive.
It's like coming from a painting into reality.
Or perhaps, Xiao Mohai walked from reality into the painting.
