In less than a month, Zhuang Huayang became obviously older and more haggard.
The old principal on the video screen still looks as elegant and gentle as a middle-aged scholar, but the fatigue in his eyes cannot be concealed. The skin that used to be tight has gradually relaxed, and countless wrinkles have increased, and some of them have disappeared.
Zhuang Huayang is almost ten years older now.
Although he was haggard, it could be seen that the old principal was in a pretty good mood. At least his smile was not disguised. The first time he saw Li Tianlan through the screen, he chuckled and said, "Boy, things are going well in Changdao."
?"
"fine."
Li Tianlan responded casually, but his mind was thinking about the list he just saw.
Negotiations with Zhongzhou cannot be delayed, the sooner the better.
Li Tianlan knew what to do without the Duke's reminder.
From the time when this information was compiled to when Li Tianlan read it, the latest was sixteen hours ago, and the least was six hours ago.
It's not a long time.
But now almost all the elites in Central Continent are facing the pursuit of the East Island special warfare system. The veritable speed of life and death, a few hours, is enough for too many variables to occur.
And even if this point is put aside, judging from the overall situation, there will not be much time left for Li Tianlan.
Nearly two thousand Central Continent elites have broken through the entire East Island towards Changdao. So far, although everyone is still evading pursuit, they are inevitably approaching Changdao.
Even if we encounter the worst case scenario, in at most one week, this pursuit will be over. The hunted Zhongzhou elite will either enter Long Island to wait for the decisive battle, or die on the road.
Li Tianlan simply couldn't afford it.
So he didn't even have lunch and went directly to Zhuang Huayang with the list.
"Something on your mind?"
Zhuang Huayang looked at Li Tianlan and raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing that Li Tianlan still didn't mean to speak, he sighed slightly and said: "Are you feeling stressed? I know your current situation. For now, you are all scattered.
, I have lost contact with many people..."
The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Qin Ke... there's no news yet, right?"
Everyone has selfish motives. From a general perspective, it would be good if all the two thousand elites of Central Continent survived. But among these two thousand people, the teachers, students of Sky Academy, and even his granddaughter Qin Ke would naturally be the most important.
The most important thing is that according to the news from the East Island, Qin Ke was one of the first people to lose contact. There is still no news. This has even become the most anxious thing for Zhuang Huayang now.
"have."
Li Tianlan raised his eyelids and looked at Zhuang Huayang, his tone calm.
On the screen, Zhuang Huayang's pupils suddenly condensed, and his sharp eyes seemed to look directly into Li Tianlan's eyes through the screen.
"It's not just Teacher Qin, there are many people. I have news now."
Li Tianlan said calmly, he was just thinking about how to tell the news tactfully, so that when the senior officials of Central Continent might support him to a certain extent, he would not make the senior officials feel disgusted with him.
But this kind of thing didn't seem to be what he was good at at all. After much deliberation, he couldn't find the right words.
A deal is a deal.
No matter how nice it sounds, the essence will never change.
When the senior officials of Zhongzhou were worried about the two thousand elites who had sneaked into the East Island, Li Tianlan used their safety in exchange for his own interests. This is the essence and cannot be changed.
So Li Tianlan simply said that although he is the heir of the Li family, he can still be regarded as an academic person. He has no conflict with Zhuang Huayang. If he leaves this matter to the academic group, he will get some benefits at least, but in general
But it's worth it.
"I'm with the Duke now, the knight and the fire."
Li Tianlan said slowly: "To put it simply, I have mastered the channel of reincarnation. Currently, I can control the whereabouts of about 1,200 elite reincarnations, and I also have the strength to send people to respond. For example, Ye Fengcheng, such as Teacher Qin Ke
, such as Gu Yunxia, Gu Youlan, Sanyan..."
Zhuang Huayang stood up uncontrollably.
Apart from the extreme shock, there was only a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
He was not surprised that Li Tianlan was with the three heavenly kings of reincarnation. With Qin Weibai's obedient attitude toward this boy and even wanting to hand over his soul, the biggest task of the three heavenly kings during this trip is probably to protect Li Tianlan, even if
I would not hesitate to give up all other tasks.
What shocked him was the information channel of reincarnation!
In just a few days, it is possible to control the whereabouts of more than a thousand elites throughout Dongdao. How much power does this require? How many manpower resources does it require? The key is that this power does not seem to have been discovered by Dongdao yet.
.
Samsara Palace!
Where does this dark world superpower with a short history come from such powerful energy?
This kind of power may be far from subverting Dongdao, but it is enough to suppress any force except Dongdao officials.
Any force!
Vaguely, Zhuang Huayang was keenly aware that there seemed to be something wrong with this cooperation with Samsara, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
The Lord of the Palace of Reincarnation is in Zhongzhou.
Qin Weibai is in Zhongzhou.
Li Tianlan also belongs to Zhongzhou.
Everything seemed to be fine, but when he thought about the terrifying power of Samsara in the East Island, Zhuang Huayang felt more and more like he was trying to steal the skin of a tiger.
Is this nationwide conspiracy in Zhongzhou a blessing or a curse?
"these people..."
Zhuang Huayang's eyes were solemn: "Is the Samsara Palace confident that they will be transported to Changdao?"
"At least 80% can be handled."
Li Tianlan's tone was calm.
Zhuang Huayang's heart sank again.
It can handle at least 80% of it. This power is far beyond everyone's imagination.
"Principal, I really need this opportunity."
While Zhuang Huayang was still thinking intently, Li Tianlan suddenly said something in a serious tone.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Zhuang Huayang glanced at Li Tianlan subconsciously.
"I have a list in my hand and a channel for reincarnation. This is an opportunity. I have to fight for something for myself. If the principal doesn't think I'm greedy, I would like to ask the principal to help me."
Li Tianlan's tone became calmer, but his eyes shone with determination.
He had just thought carefully about the resources he had. At a glance, his resources were simply suffocating.
But when you think about it carefully, the result is hard to make people happy.
Looking at it now, his most stable and supportive resource is undoubtedly the Palace of Reincarnation.
Qin Weibai is his woman.
The Lord of Samsara Palace seems to have some inexplicable relationship with the Li family.
The Palace of Reincarnation is enough to be his strongest backer.
But the most embarrassing thing is that the Palace of Reincarnation belongs to foreign forces.
They have no foundation in Central Continent, and the Beihai Wang Family and Kunlun City will not allow this behemoth to develop in Central Continent. If Li Tianlan is outside the country in the future, everything may go smoothly, but within Central Continent, the Reincarnation Palace can provide
His help is relatively limited and implicit.
Of course, when it was a matter of life and death, the Lord of Samsara Palace might still take action, but she could never be Li Tianlan's personal thug, and Li Tianlan didn't have the qualifications either.
Go straight to Emperor Bing Mountain.
Challenge the ancient line.
The Lord of Samsara Palace has clearly stated her attitude towards her and declared her force. When she returns to Central Continent in the future, even if his identity is exposed, Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun may not be able to resist the revenge of Samsara Palace until they are fully confident.
No matter how you deal with him in the open, the small tricks in the secret are nothing. Li Tianlan is not strong enough to be invincible in the invincible realm, and his foundation is still extremely weak. In short, bypassing the Reincarnation Palace and attacking Li Tianlan can still make Reincarnation
Kunlun City can find hundreds of ways for the palace master to show up.
When foreign forces cannot enter Central Continent, the Lord of Samsara Palace is the most powerful and can only be the ultimate deterrent.
And if...
If Kunlun City is really desperate to take action and Samsara Palace retaliates wildly, Zhongzhou's attitude will be mixed.
One is his own war god who protects the country, and the other is a dark giant outside the country, who makes judgments based on closeness. So in general, the Samsara Palace can help Li Tianlan, but at most it can only prevent him from being killed so easily.
As for the academic faction, the two sides are purely cooperating, which means that there is a possibility of falling out, and there is no need to even fall out. If Li Tianlan is alive, the academic faction can protect him, but if Li Tianlan is killed, the academic faction will never follow him because of a dead man.
What kind of conflict does the special operations group have?
Dongcheng family...
Li Tianlan now holds the Dongcheng family's only Sky Strike, but he never dares to regard this super wealthy family as one of his own. Dongcheng Rusi is a problem. Before he has figured out how to deal with Dongcheng Rusi, Li Tianlan does not even dare to think deeply about it.
From now on, I will be friends or enemies with the Dongcheng family.
So after much deliberation, the city that can give Li Tianlan the strongest support is the City of Sighs.
However, the power of Sighing City is also far inferior to that of Kunlun City and Beihai Wang Family. Again, the combination of Sighing City and Reincarnation Palace can give Li Tianlan a chance to develop without being easily killed. But how to develop is very important.
To a certain extent, it actually depends on him.
His foundation is Donghuang Palace, a foundation that only belongs to him. Li Tianlan now has a backer, but he does not dare to rely entirely on the power behind him. He just wants Donghuang Palace to rise as quickly as possible. The faster, the better.
Well, it would be better if the East Emperor Palace becomes the only throne in the dark world in the next second.
The support gained from more than a thousand people.
And if we make good use of this huge favor and network, after the Zhongzhou conspiracy is over, the Donghuang Palace may have a solid foundation that can truly take root in Zhongzhou.
"what do you want?"
Zhuang Huayang narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Tianlan with a very solemn tone.
What will happen to reincarnation in the future is still his imagination after all, but Li Tianlan can be regarded as one of his own now. His potential and background are worthy of the academy's heavy investment. This is the first time Li Tianlan has made a request to the academy, and he also brought it with him.
It's a great gift that the academic community has no reason to refuse.
"Ten people!"
Li Tianlan said with determination in his tone: "I will bring ten soldiers out from the border, and the academy will be responsible for their safety."
Ten people!
Zhuang Huayang's face changed drastically, and he even smiled bitterly: "This is absolutely impossible."
Ten soldiers.
Fortunately, Li Tianlan could say it. This was extremely shameless. In terms of military rank, many of the people in Li's border camp were indeed just soldiers, but in terms of strength, many of them were actual generals, and
Still a powerful general.
The talent of the Li family has withered in recent years. Now it is said that except for Li Honghe, an invincible master, there is no one who can even find a half-step invincible. However, the only more than a hundred people left are the best of the best. From these people, we can find
Zhuang Huayang was really not surprised at all when ten masters of the Thunder Realm appeared.
Ten thunder realms.
Not to mention whether the academic faction is willing or not, if this kind of matter needs to be discussed at the plenary meeting of the decision-making bureau, once it is submitted, Kunlun City and the Prince Group will probably try their best to stop it.
"The possibility of success is too low. Unless Gu Xingyun is crazy, it is impossible for him to agree."
Zhuang Huayang shook his head: "You and I both understand what it means to be responsible for their safety. This kind of thing has to go through Kunlun City. Gu Xingyun has great decision-making power."
It would be easy to just bring ten people out from the border.
But being responsible for their safety does not mean that they cannot die. At the very least, we must arrange a suitable official position for them to use as protective clothing. If these masters come out, they will eventually be placed in the special operations system. If Kunlun City does not agree,
There is no good solution for academics.
"Too many people."
Zhuang Huayang continued: "Unless your father's treason case really has nothing to do with Kunlun City, Gu Xingyun will never release these people."
"There will always be a way."
Li Tianlan looked at Zhuang Huayang and said quietly.
"A way... a way..."
Zhuang Huayang murmured to himself and then said: "Do you have any other powerful bargaining chips? For example, Guhan Mountain..."
Li Tianlan fell silent.
He paid special attention to the information about Guhan Mountain, but obviously, there was no information about Guhan Mountain on the list for the time being.
"not yet."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "Currently I only have information about Wang Shengxiao."
Zhuang Huayang's eyes suddenly lit up: "So you plan to talk to Wang Tianzong again? If the Southeast Group and the academic group join forces..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tianlan interrupted him directly.
"No. I have no intention of talking to Wang Tianzong."
