Outside the lounge, the banquet has officially begun.
The first person Li Tianlan was waiting for who had the courage to walk in never showed up. Instead, the God of Thunder strode in.
He didn't knock on the door or wait for anyone to announce him. After pushing the door open and coming in, he laughed loudly, hugged Li Tianlan who had already stood up to greet him, patted him hard on the shoulder, and kept repeating: Good boy.
Lei Shen has always felt that he is a rough man. His academic qualifications are average, his education level is not high, and he cannot learn to be arty. He has almost no so-called elegant hobbies since he was a child. Dongcheng Hanguang, the old patriarch of the Dongcheng family, has always disliked this.
The adopted son was not able to gain publicity, and the God of Thunder did not take it seriously. He still went his own way.
For him, the invincible Donghuang, Li Tianlan who is number one on the God List, and the advisor of Zhongzhou are a bit illusory. What he remembers most clearly will always be the place where he appeared in the Li family eight years ago.
Camp, the year when Li Tianlan was taken out of the camp and entered into the desert prison.
It's not really important that Li Tianlan lost to Huo Man that year. What's important is that underneath that desert, in that pure darkness and silence where he faced death and madness at every moment of extreme despair, Li Tianlan forged the strongest,
The will to never give up and never compromise.
He ate and lived with Li Tianlan during that year. Watching him change little by little, the impression was too clear. Everything now seemed a little unreal.
Lei Shen is a child adopted by Mr. Dongcheng Hanguang. The Dongcheng family treats him really well. He himself has no wild ambitions. He is fifty years old, unmarried, alone, and very cool. He is probably the most caring person on weekdays.
The affairs of several younger generations of the Dongcheng family.
Sisters Dongcheng Qiuchi and Dongcheng Ru have been calling him godfather since they were young. Although Li Tianlan has never called him, he is still a child of the Dongcheng family. The thunder god who does not regard himself as an outsider will naturally not meet Li Tianlan and treat him as his own son.
Not excessive.
"I've always wanted to see you, but I'm in Annan and can't leave."
The God of Thunder patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder vigorously: "I saw those bastards besieging you, Tianlan, you did a great job.
Do you know what I was thinking that night? If something unexpected happened to you that night, I would lead the bloody army to surround Annan and ask everyone to bury you with you. At worst, I would also go down to accompany you.
Haha, let me tell you, your Uncle Lei was a fierce thief that night, and I captured all the prisoners of the Beihai Wang family in the East Palace. After passing Xuanyuan City, the Burning Lord Group was vulnerable. From Burning
From the city to the capital of Annan, it didn’t take more than forty-eight hours for me to push it all the way there. You tell me, Uncle Lei is not awesome."
"ox!"
Li Tianlan gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Lei is a bit underwhelmed by the Bloody Lords. You are completely qualified to control the Border Forbidden Lords."
Ma Si was a little surprised to find that at this moment, Li Tianlan's smile was different from before. It became extremely lively, and could even be said to be lively.
The youthful vigor that almost everyone had never seen in him seemed to appear in him for the first time.
If we really want to talk about relationships, the relationship between Li Tianlan and Thor is unmatched by others. Even if he calls Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian parents now, it is still incomparable.
He is a child who grew up in a simple camp. He has outstanding talents and amazing strength, but what kind of world has he seen? Not to mention the big world, he has not even seen many people.
Thor was the first person he had ever seen who transformed outside the world, and it was during his youth when he was most curious about the outside world.
This man took himself out of that depressing and bitter camp, and lived and ate together for a year. Li Tianlan can still recall all the details.
Since joining the world, Li Tianlan's mentality has always been extremely indifferent. Many of the veterans of the Li family are his elders. After coming out, he has also met many elders, whether they are purely senior or related by blood.
, if all of them are put together, there are very few people who can really make Li Tianlan feel like a child when facing them.
Facing Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian, Li Tianlan would feel like a child.
Although Li Tianlan now has complicated thoughts about Li Honghe, who has passed away, Li Honghe can also be considered one of them.
Qingye, who has played the role of mother since childhood, can be counted as one.
There is the God of Thunder.
Each of these elders has an irreplaceable position in Li Tianlan's heart. When facing them, his indifferent mood will instinctively change. He will speak more casually and his attitude will be more relaxed.
That's a sign of real security.
"The Border Ban Jun Group..."
The God of Thunder chuckled: "Of course I have no problem, but there is no need to argue with your third uncle. We are all family members, so don't hurt the harmony.
The Yuxue Junjun Group is very good, and I am closer to Tiannan here. Whoever dares to have any inappropriate thoughts in the future should think carefully about it. If they are really anxious, I will not tell them any rules."
While speaking, his eyes glanced at Ma Si intentionally or unintentionally.
For Li Huacheng's most trusted secretary suddenly becoming the deputy palace master of the East Palace, he still has a lot of doubts in his heart. Not only him, I am afraid that even now, Dongcheng Wudi and the others also have doubts in their hearts. This kind of scruples will take time.
The disappearance of a little bit of polish cannot be eliminated by Li Huacheng's attitude in the short term.
"General Lei, when it comes to being unruly, you have let the whole of Central Continent, no, the whole world, see it. If it hadn't been for the good results this time, you might have been in the desert prison now."
Ma Si shook his head and sighed.
Thor is indeed taking a risk this time.
When the alliance besieged Li Tianlan, he mobilized the Bloody Lords to attack boldly, defeated Beihai, crossed Tiannan, pierced all the elites of the alliance in one fell swoop, and finally penetrated deep into Annan. This process was too dangerous. Don't say there were any mistakes.
In this process, if Thor's progress is delayed even slightly, there may be infinite variables.
Such a move also made the parliament extremely angry, and even shocked other forces.
Ma Si had to admire Thor. This reckless man really did a big thing that no one else dared to do.
If something unexpected happened to Li Tianlan during the siege that night, the so-called Thor appearing in the desert prison would sound nice. In fact, Thor would not receive such treatment at all. He dared to do this. If Li Tianlan failed, now Zhongzhou's
The Dongcheng family is probably a thing of the past.
"Nothing turned out well."
Thor said calmly: "For me, there are only two outcomes that night, the best outcome, or the worst outcome, two extremes.
If Tianlan loses, the Dongcheng family will disappear sooner or later, so it is better to take a gamble. Looking at it now, the final outcome is still very satisfying."
"The ending is indeed happy, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay a price."
Ma Si said softly.
Thor sneered: "What are the council going to do with me after they recall me? Transfer me? Or remove me from office?
I might as well dismiss my post, and then I will go directly to Tiannan to join my niece-in-law."
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
"It's not that serious."
Ma Si thought for a while: "I heard that Li Shuai and Minister Dongcheng are trying to protect you, and the new controller of the Border Forbidden Group is also supporting you, saying that you have meritorious service, and the final result is probably a demerit.
But if you want to take further steps in the future, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
The God of Thunder was silent for a moment. He seemed to be shocked. After a long while, he nodded and murmured: "This punishment... is serious enough, too serious. It's as serious as nothing."
"That's it at most. After all, in today's situation, Uncle Lei, you have made a contribution."
Li Tianlan said.
Thor's actions that night were either great merits or great faults. If things were done, everything was easy to say. But if things were not done, the consequences were unpredictable. Today's situation is like this. With Tiannan joining Zhongzhou, Thor can be said to have contributed a lot.
Parliament cannot deny this.
The reason why some symbolic punishments were given to Thor was mainly because his actions did break the principles to a certain extent, or in other words, broke the rules.
"Don't talk about me anymore."
Lei Shen waved his hand casually, pointed to the banquet hall outside, looked at Li Tianlan and asked, "Why don't Tianlan go out for a walk? The food outside is good and delicious, and I stayed there for a while.
Intentionally or unintentionally, I heard a lot of amazing things. There are many beautiful ladies outside who plan to attack you tonight. They even found people to form a team. They want to form a team to attack you. If you do it tonight
If you just nod, you can at least kill a hundred people, do you believe it?
Not to mention, although Annan lags behind, the quality of these young ladies from big families is pretty good."
"Am I so hungry?"
Li Tianlan's tone was a little confusing.
"Don't give away things for free. Men shouldn't be so stressed. You can indulge once in a while and no one will hold you responsible. What are you afraid of?"
The God of Thunder laughed and pointed at Ma Si: "Are you afraid that this guy will complain to your niece-in-law?"
"General, you can't spit on others. I don't know everything that happened today."
Ma Si said with a serious face.
Li Tianlan ignored them, just looked at the banquet hall outside through the window, and said calmly: "I'm waiting for them. I just met an interesting person, and I want to wait for the second one to see who has the courage to leave directly.
Come in."
The God of Thunder thought for a while and smiled: "What a coincidence, Tianlan, do you know what the people outside are thinking?"
"I know."
An uncertain smile appeared on Li Tianlan's lips: "They are waiting for me to go out."
People inside are waiting for people to come in.
People outside are waiting for someone to go out.
If this is a game, Li Tianlan is inherently invincible.
