Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Eight: Roll Roll Roll Roll
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Li Tianlan sat in the living room, put down the phone in his hand, and shook his head.
He was calling Dongcheng Wudi.
But the result was no surprise and it still shut down.
Obviously, the fighting in Hidden Dragon Sea is not over yet, and it is not known how long it will drag on.
The meeting that started at two o'clock in the afternoon has now been nearly seven hours. If it continues, it may be delayed until late at night.
He walked from the living room to the dining room, looked at Bai Qingqian and Qin Weibai who were busy, and said calmly: "The phone still can't be connected."
"There's no rush, we're not ready either."
Bai Qing pinched a dumpling with a smile: "Tianlan, you don't need to call. They will call after the meeting. If we are ready by then, we can stir-fry and calculate the time to cook the dumplings.
"
"Has this often happened before?"
Li Tianlan asked casually.
Dongcheng Wudi was already a senior council member before becoming a director.
This is especially true for Mr. Bai Zhanfang. Looking at the entire parliament, there is no one who has been in the parliament longer than Bai Zhanfang. In terms of qualifications, he can be said to be the first person.
"This is normal. First update @ "
Bai Qingqian nodded: "The meetings of the parliament sometimes end quickly, but sometimes they can also be very anxious, especially when the issues are more sensitive. The major groups will not give up any ground. If they want to reach a balance, there is no way.
So easy.
Occasionally, major groups will form alliances, but many things cannot be decided simply and roughly through voting. The interests and disadvantages are analyzed, and there are arguments. The longest meeting in my memory lasted nearly two days.
During those two days, your grandpa lived and ate in Yinlonghai, right in that conference room. He took a rest when he was tired, and continued the discussion when he had enough rest. It was not until the end that he managed to come up with a result. All parties were not satisfied with this.
.”
Bai Qingqian shook her head, glanced at Li Tianlan, hesitated, and said: "That meeting was the one after the collapse of the Li family. The situation was much more complicated than this one."
Li Tianlan nodded and did not comment on the meeting that year. He just said: "This meeting is not simple either."
Under normal circumstances, one Zhong Youwei can be said to be the grand finale that the parliament has not encountered for several years.
But the Zhong Youwei incident was just the beginning in this meeting.
There will inevitably be violent turbulence in Beihai next. If the two-day meeting in Bai Qingqian's memory means that the Li family has officially collapsed, then today's meeting will be viewed in another twenty years or even longer.
If so, it may be the beginning of the decline of the Beihai Wang family.
If this is really the case, when will the meeting be held today?
The Wang family in Beihai is now weak, but being weak does not mean that the Southeast Group is dead. This is still the top group. They are fighting back with all their strength, and there are new groups and wealthy groups to help out. In the end, they want to reach an agreement that all parties can reluctantly accept.
As a result, how difficult is that?
Li Tianlan looked at the dumplings with various fillings in the restaurant and Qin Weibai who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and frowned slightly.
"rest assured."
Bai Qingqian seemed to know what he was thinking, and said softly: "This meeting will not last so long. Even if I am anxious, it is probably over soon. If it is really that long meeting, it will only last a few seconds."
The directors would discuss it behind closed doors, calling at most one or two senior members.
There are so many people now, which means the meeting will not last long.
After all, everyone has a lot of things on their hands. One or two days may not seem like a long time, but some impacts still need to be paid attention to.”
Li Tianlan hummed, looked at Qin Weibai and then at Bai Qingqian, wondering what he should do.
In terms of cooking skills, he is a complete idiot. The only thing he knows how to do is barbecue, which he learned in a border business school when he was a child. The taste is definitely not very good, but at least it is guaranteed to be cooked.
Li Tianlan can only eat other slightly more delicate things, but he definitely doesn't know how to make them, and he doesn't bother to learn.
"If you're not interested in watching TV, just sit down and chat with me."
Bai Qingqian's voice was gentle and calm.
Li Tianlan hesitated and sat down opposite him.
"Get out of the way, don't delay things, I want it.
Help mom make dumplings."
Qin Weibai walked out of the kitchen and started chasing people away.
Li Tianlan stood up silently and walked aside to sit down without saying a word, like a doormat.
Bai Qingqian chuckled. She had seen Qin Weibai before, who was generous and obedient. In such a posture, she had almost shown the attitude of a virtuous wife to the extreme. It was perfect. Bai Qingqian also
very satisfied.
But that gesture is too perfect, so it is inevitable that there will be some alienation, and you can feel that sense of distance intentionally or unintentionally. First update@
Now Qin Weibai has suddenly changed her style, completely subverting her past image. After the lack of perfection, her whole person has become much more agile and down-to-earth.
Bai Qingqian couldn't tell which of the two images was better, but the current Qin Weibai was undoubtedly cuter in her opinion.
Li Tianlan sat aside, took out a cigarette and smoked it silently.
Qin Weibai glanced at her with wide eyes and threatened: If you let cigarette ashes float into the vegetable filling, I will put it in and let you eat it.
Li Tianlan walked a little further silently.
He had promised Qin Weibai that he would at least be nice to her tonight. His mentality could not change for the time being. He didn't know how to be nice to her, and his behavior was more like a compromise like a doormat.
Bai Qingqian found it more interesting, but when she saw Li Tianlan's pale face, she was a little worried: "Smoking less is not good for your health.
I heard that you were seriously injured this time, how is it exactly?"
"fine."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "I need time to rest, the problem is not that big."
The injuries on his body were very serious. If it were placed on an ordinary person, or even an ordinary invincible master, such injuries would be absolutely fatal.
But the balance in his body is maintained very well.
As long as the balance in the body is not out of balance for a long time, he can act normally and even engage in low-intensity battles.
This kind of horrific injury is really nothing to worry about when the body's balance is stable.
Compared to the injuries inside his body, what made Li Tianlan most uncomfortable was his mental condition.
He didn't know how to describe his current situation.
Because he didn't know how long it had been since he had rested.
If we count from the day of the alliance operation, he has not slept for about ten days.
But during this time, he was not in this time and space for a while.
After returning to this time and space, he stood on the West Lake and experienced several days and nights at an extremely fast speed. That period of time was actually very short, but in that short period of time, Li Tianlan could clearly feel
I feel that my energy and energy are constantly passing away.
Then he went from Lin'an to Beijiang, then to Youzhou, to Tiannan, and back to Youzhou again, until now.
He couldn't rest at all.
When he was drinking with Li Baitian and the others last night, he deliberately drank a lot of wine, but it had no effect at all. He was lying in bed alone, and he would wake up immediately after falling asleep, accompanied by a severe headache and a lot of memories.
It was rubbing against his nerves like a knife.
Severe fatigue constantly tortured his will, leaving him in an extreme trance.
Li Tianlan could feel that his heart was beating faster and faster, and his second heart had almost stopped beating. Sudden death seemed to happen at any time.
During this afternoon, from time to time, his vision suddenly darkened and he fell into a coma. However, this coma was very short-lived. Before his body could react, a severe headache would stimulate his body to wake up again.
.
A large number of memories were like a flood, being poured into him every second. He couldn't sleep, he couldn't even meditate, he could only hold on like this.
Compared with the so-called serious injuries that only take time to get better physically, this kind of mental fatigue makes Li Tianlan even more helpless.
He didn't even know if he could survive it.
No one can live without sleep.
But his problem now is that he can't sleep at all, or even fall into coma.
If he keeps going like this, he can still persist.
how long?
One day, two days, even a week?
What about the end?
There comes a time when all his energy is completely exhausted. At that time, will he be greeted by a long coma or complete death?
Qin Weibai pinched the dumplings, raised his eyes to Li Tianlan, and said softly: "I brought some medicinal materials from the East Palace. They are all traditional Chinese medicines, very mild ones. In addition, I found Nalan Shiying and followed her suggestions.
Brought some special ingredients.
She wrote a prescription for me and I will prepare the medicine for you tomorrow.
But although such medicinal materials are mild, they are very potent and can only be drunk once a week. There are many ingredients in them that can be used to make genetic medicines in the laboratory."
"I can't afford to drink."
Li Tianlan replied in a cold voice.
What he said is also true.
He probably knew what those so-called medicinal materials were, and most of the things that could be used to make genetic potions were beyond the reach of rich people. Not to mention whether they could be purchased, many wealthy people had never even heard of them.
As for some of the more precious things, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are treasures of heaven and earth. Every time they appear, they can even set off a bloody storm in the dark world. They are things that countless elites have fought for with their lives.
Among these materials, the Wang family in Beihai undoubtedly has the most abundant reserves.
Donghuang Palace has very little reserves in this area, and it has just started in the past few years.
But the problem is that Qin Weibai is now holding a large number of prisoners in Beihai, and even holds a large number of industrial lifelines that originally belonged to the Wang family in Beihai. With these chips in hand, she can use these chips to smash open the Wang family's warehouse of Beihai, and then
Get something from inside and treat Li Tianlan's injuries.
The balance in his body is very stable, but it is also very fragile and cannot withstand the direct stimulation of the gene potion.
So Qin Weibai simply boiled these things into traditional Chinese medicine.
This is obviously a huge waste of those materials, but Qin Weibai obviously doesn't care about this.
In other words, in order to heal his wounds, Li Tianlan drank the "Chinese medicine" once a week. The overall price of each picture is estimated to be close to nine figures. The key is that he drinks it once a week, and he doesn't know how long he needs to drink it.
How many people in the world can be so luxurious?
Now that Li Tianlan has become a special consultant, theoretically Zhongzhou will be responsible for this part of the medicinal materials.
However, it is difficult for Li Tianlan's serious injuries to be judged as work-related injuries.
At least in the eyes of many people, it was not honorable for him to be injured.
Moreover, those medicinal materials are extremely precious. The nine-digit price of a pair of medicines is only an approximate value. In fact, even if you have nine figures of money, you can't buy those things, and you can't buy them at a premium. Li Tianlan drinks a pair a week.
, if he drinks it for several months, the gene potion made from this batch of medicinal materials can even arm a special forces regiment.
Even Central Continent cannot afford this kind of consumption.
Only Qin Weibai, a crazy woman, dared to waste things like this.
The most important thing is that even if such a high price is paid, the positive impact on Li Tianlan's physical recovery will not be great.
What his injury needs most is time.
"Who said you can't afford to drink?"
Qin Weibai smiled softly and sweetly: "Our family is rich, but you don't even know how big the Shengshi Fund has grown.
And I have chips in my hand, as long as I talk to the Beihai Wang family, there is no possibility of them rejecting me."
"Our family? Who is our family to you? That is your East Palace, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Tianlan sneered.
Qin Weibai suddenly raised his hand. Bai's fingers were stained with flour, and the powder almost landed on Li Tianlan's face.
"Mom, look at him bullying me."
Qin Weibai started to complain: "He treats me as an outsider."
"How old you are, yet you still speak so lightly. Correct update@"
Bai Qingqian glared at Li Tianlan. Her voice was still gentle, but her tone was a little angry.
Li Tianlan was a little embarrassed. He wanted to say that Qin Weibai was just a prodigal, but such words obviously could not persuade Bai Qingqian, and it had nothing to do with him. When he thought of this, he became even more awkward.
"Mom, he has gone too far these past two days. He treated me badly and even scolded me."
Qin Weibai pursed his lips, and the grievances squeezing in his heart finally couldn't help but reveal themselves.
"When did I scold you?"
Li Tianlan had a headache.
"You scolded me to get out of here, and you also attacked me. It's extremely excessive!"
Qin Weibai looked at him bitterly.
"Tianlan."
Bai Qingqian frowned, unable to listen anymore: "Is this really happening?"
Li Tianlan said nothing, but looked at Qin Weibai mockingly.
Let them solve their own problems.
What should we not let our elders worry about?
What Qin Weibai said at the airport is still in my ears.
Is this the result?
Complained?
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Bai Qingqian frowned again: "It's normal for young people to have tempers. Your dad and I would occasionally quarrel when we were young, but it's not good to use bad words.
If you’re not satisfied with Xiaobai like this, what kind of thing are you looking for?”
"That's not what happened."
Li Tianlan shook his head, not knowing what to say.
"I don't care about anything else."
Bai Qingqian said: "I have identified my daughter-in-law here. If you bully her again, I will not agree.
I won’t say anything if you have a conflict, but you can’t go too far.”
She glanced at Qin Weibai: "The same goes for you, Xiaobai, you two should be good."
"Yeah, I listen to my mother."
Qin Weibai's tone was extremely sweet.
The cell phone rang.
Li Tianlan, whose body was tense, breathed a sigh of relief, took the phone, and as if seeing a savior, he hurriedly said "I'll answer the phone" and left the restaurant directly.
The call was from Li Baitian.
He didn't seem to expect that the call would be answered so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Is the meeting over?" "No, it's probably still early."
Li Tianlan said casually.
"Then the atmosphere of this meeting is very relaxed, and there is someone who can answer the phone at any time? I've seen it, I've seen it. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆*First update~~"
Li Baitian kept clicking his tongue.
"Answer a shitty phone call."
Li Tianlan said angrily: "I just missed a date. It was quite boring. I left early. Some old men and ladies are still there."
"How about it, have you watched the show? Let me tell you some inside stories."
Li Baitian has some gossip.
For senior council members like Dongcheng Wudi Bai Zhanfang and Li Huacheng, meetings, and long meetings at that, are very painful.
Every issue can involve a lot of interests. In the venue, the most test is your own thinking logic. Once a loophole appears during the battle, you will deduct points for yourself while adding points to the opponent, and even give the opponent points.
An opportunity to fight back, so such a meeting is extremely painful for them.
But for those who have never participated in a parliamentary meeting, it was undoubtedly an extremely serious and even somewhat sacred occasion.
Curiosity and even gossip are inevitable.
Many people even think that sitting there and having meetings for several hours or ten hours is a very happy thing.
"It's quite boring."
Li Tianlan was a little helpless: "The so-called good show is actually just that. Watching the Prince Group and the Southeast Group fight each other, I don't feel any sense of participation at all. It's boring.
If you want to know the inside story, Zhong Youwei is basically finished, I only saw this part, I didn’t bother to read the rest, so I came out.”
"You don't even look at this..."
Li Baitian was a little incomprehensible: "As a member of Parliament, it can be said that there was a big earthquake. Such a big melon must be sweet."
Li Tianlan shook his head, but he could understand Li Baitian's mentality.
In an occasion like that, everyone would definitely want to participate.
Even though he felt bored, the meeting had lasted for so long, and Li Tianlan himself was still curious about what was going on in that conference room.
But that's just curiosity.
If he was asked to go back, he wouldn't want to.
"So, you officially join the job today?"
Li Baitian asked.
.
"Well, after reading a review, it has been officially decided. I plan to go to Kunlun in the next few days to accept Gu Xingyun's legacy.
It's a pity, I originally planned to let you go. Although the conditions there are average, the construction of Kunlun City is quite interesting. If you go, you can be considered to be on your own."
"Grass!"
Li Baitian laughed and scolded: "Brother is also responsible for his own role in the East Palace, okay? In a place as big as Europe, do you really think that the two invincibles of Wang Yue Xiange and Deputy Palace Master Situ can control the situation?
Wouldn’t it be better for me to be there than to guard Kunlun City?”
After a pause, he continued: "And I think it is a good thing that I am in the East Palace. If I really follow you in Youzhou, then what happens to me in the future will not matter what you say, and it will not matter what I do.
Isn’t it inconvenient?”
Li Tianlan frowned, agreeing with the words, but also not agreeing with them.
Li Baitian is now at the peak of the Thunder Realm, but his true combat power is already close to the top Half-Step Invincible Realm.
It can be said that it is certain that he will enter the invincible realm in a few years. In the future, he will never be able to defeat someone who is only invincible at the peak level.
Needless to say, in the future, even now, his strength is considered to be very high-end in the entire dark world.
If Li Tianlan transfers him to Youzhou, the parliament will definitely not ignore him.
At that time, he can no longer be regarded as Li Tianlan's person. Strictly speaking, he should be a member of the parliament.
But now that he is in the East Palace, with Qin Weibai around, Li Baitian naturally has the attitude of the East Palace.
This means more freedom and greater autonomy.
"You also think what I said is right?"
Li Baitian said with a smile: "To be honest, I was a little surprised that Ma Si rejected my resignation application.
Judging from his actions, at least now, people may not really have any ill intentions towards our Donghuang Palace. At least this time he refused our resignation application even if he offended someone. He really stood on the standpoint of Donghuang Palace.
work.
If he doesn't refuse, it will be easy for you to transfer us there. But in the future, if you return to the East Palace and want to transfer us back to Tiannan, it will not be easy. It can even be said to be very difficult. At that time, the parliament will have many reasons to be stuck.
Our position prevents us from moving."
Li Tianlan frowned: "I will never see the East Palace again."
"Ah..."
Li Baitian sneered disdainfully: "Just don't be so fragrant then."
"I keep my word, and I won't reply if I don't reply!"
Li Tianlan was a little angry.
But Li Baitian, who had been with him from the beginning, was not afraid of him. His tone became more and more contemptuous: "You can pull me down. It's useless to talk about it now. Brother, you have to have a few tricks in your heart to be a human being. Do you know that I
When did you sober up?
At noon, I woke up right after my sister-in-law met you, and I was still watching silently.
Are you the only one who has ever played with Qin Weibai?
Aren't you kidding me?
Now you hold on hard, let's see how long you can hold on.
Ten of you can be eaten to death by Qin Weibai.
When you leave Tiannan this time, only outsiders in the dark world will take it seriously. Oh, you yourself will take it seriously too. But in the hearts of people who really know the inside story, except at the beginning, who will take it seriously after calming down?
Something happened?
If you leave resolutely, she will pull you back again.
I'm telling you, you'd better hold on a little longer.
I made a bet with Brother Bi. He bet that you would reconcile with Qin Weibai in a month. I think he looks down on you a little. That's right. Since having Yu Qingyan, Brother Bi has become less and less...
Calm down.
I know you very well, I bet you can last at least a month and a half.
You should be more angry. Brother Bi said that if I win, I won’t have to give him a gift when he gets married. If I lose, I will have to double the red envelope and I really can’t afford to hurt him."
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched, the veins on his forehead kept beating, and his whole body was trembling.
I looked down upon him for a month.
How can you think of him in just a month and a half?
Thank you so much.
And these beasts actually do this.
As a gambling game?
Deduct wages!
No, there is no point in deducting wages, only deducting their dividends.
"You all lost the bet."
Li Tianlan sneered: "There is no possibility for me and her."
"Yeah, yeah, you understand what you are saying now. You can only say angry words, not shabbily."
Li Baitian said perfunctorily: "But I still say what I said, you can't beat her, there is a gap in your own rank, everyone is a king, and you still don't know how to replenish troops, you are just playing with chicken feathers."
"..."
"One more thing, it's great to torture your wife for a while, chase your wife to the crematorium, but don't do it then..."
"Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling..."
Li Tianlan couldn't bear it any longer, and a series of scrolling words came out like a machine gun. Correct update@.
