Chapter six hundred and fourteenth: the so-called facts
On the phone, Jiang Shangyu laughed.
No one can doubt his sincerity, not even Jiang Shangyu himself.
He called Guo Wentian not to test or take advantage of anything.
Even Reinhardt has said that he is the kind of person who doesn't care about loyalty and will go wherever the benefits he needs can be given.
After being kicked out of Zhongzhou, Jiang Shangyu seemed to have many choices, but the best choice was Star Kingdom, so he directly joined Star Kingdom.
If the situation continues like this, Jiang Shangyu will indeed work for Xingguo wholeheartedly, because that is the best choice, and the other party can give him everything he wants.
But there is a prerequisite for this.
That is, apart from Central Continent, Star Kingdom is the best choice.
But this premise has now been shaken.
Li Tianlan has lost his strength, the talents of Zhongzhou's special warfare system have withered, and there is a shortage of manpower. Without Li Tianlan, it can be said that it is now at its weakest stage.
The most important thing is that Li Tianlan's position in Central Continent is not unshakable now.
At least the Prince Group is very dissatisfied with his existence, and the Southeast Group does not like Li Tianlan. When the new group has not yet surfaced, the only group that can support Li Tianlan is the wealthy group.
As for the academy, although Li Huacheng has put his chips on Li Tianlan, but now facing Li Tianlan who has lost his strength, will Li Huacheng have other ideas?
Well, even if he has no other ideas and still chooses to support Li Tianlan, it doesn't matter. After all, he is not the only one in the academy. When necessary, Jiang Shangyu believes that different voices will come out within the academy.
As for the Northern Group, it may be deeply involved with the Shengshi Fund, but the principle is the same as that of the academy.
These factors may provide huge help for Jiang Shangyu to return to Zhongzhou.
"I am originally from Central China. No one can deny this."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "Besides, I have not been away from Zhongzhou for a long time. People who should know some of the inside information will naturally know it. The current situation is like this. I believe many people can understand my helplessness. After all... I was...
He was kicked out... I was kicked out by Li Huacheng. There is no me in Zhongzhou, and there is no place for my Jiang family... It is gone. My place is gone. What can I do?
That's why I entered the Star Kingdom, saying it was a betrayal... I feel like I was a little unjust. After all, I was kicked out. Is it wrong to want to find a nest that can take me in? Is it wrong for me to be a homeless dog?
I just want to live an upright life and not be a lonely ghost without a home...
It was Zhongzhou who kicked me out first.
How can this be called betrayal? Right?"
Guo Wentian was noncommittal and said calmly: "These remarks are useless to me alone. They must be understood by everyone."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I really understand, but President..."
Jiang Shangyu sighed: "I understand this truth, but I don't have a voice. I don't have enough voice to say this out, and no one else can hear it. How can they understand me?"
Guo Wentian narrowed his eyes.
"So, I wonder if the president can explain it to me... You see, I sincerely hope to cooperate with the president. The president is an elder and highly respected in Central Continent. Outsiders may misunderstand you, but after so many years,
Come on, I know how you treat the people around you.
I feel most at ease cooperating with you, so I thought maybe the president could explain it to me. Of course, it doesn’t need to be complete. Just hint at it halfway through, and that’s pretty much it. The rest is up to them.
I’ll think about it.”
Jiang Shangyu's voice was full of sincerity.
Guo Wentian put his cell phone on the table and turned on the loudspeaker. When he heard his words, he and Wang Qinglei looked at each other.
"I can help you."
Guo Wendao: "You should also know that I was initially opposed to your leaving Zhongzhou. It is a pity that I am definitely not the only one who has this kind of regret. As long as I mention it, even if it is just the beginning.
, under such circumstances, a sound can be easily formed..."
"Your request is not difficult at all. To me, it is a small matter, but you must at least break away from Star Kingdom. This is the most basic thing, right?"
"I don't think it's right."
Jiang Shangyu's laughter sounded very honest.
Guo Wentian frowned slightly, and when neither party could see each other's expressions, Jiang Shangyu's voice was casual and gentle: "I am now the special adviser of Xingguo... President, do you understand the meaning of special adviser?
Li Tianlan's status in Zhongzhou is my status here. Even because of the huge gap between the two sides, my status here may be higher than Li Tianlan's.
In this position, I can do a lot of things, and I can control a lot of resources. I am busy, and I still have a lot of things to do. You haven’t promised me anything, how can I get out of here? This is unreasonable.
.”
Guo Wentian's voice became deeper and deeper, and he said coldly: "I am here to explain your matter, but you stay in Star Kingdom. There is no way to keep the news secret. This is a matter of face. If you don't express your position clearly, something happened to Li Tianlan just now, and Zhongzhou
There are calls for you to come back, but your attitude is still unclear. How has the mighty overlord ever been so humble?"
"Talk about your so-called status. Why should you compare with Zhongzhou? Do they deserve it? The resources you have there will only be more here, and it will be more convenient for you to do things."
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Shangyu's voice became erratic on the phone, seeming a little strange and cold.
"Tell me what you want to do first."
Guo Wentian took a deep breath, perhaps because Jiang Shangyu's call came too suddenly. Only now did Guo Wentian finally react and began to seriously think about whether it was really feasible to bring Jiang Shangyu back.
"Of course I'm doing what I should do."
Jiang Shangyu said with a smile: "I will wipe out everything in Europe as soon as possible, the entire Lin clan, the Dark Knights, the Shengshi Foundation, all the chess pieces of the Eastern Palace in Europe... everything.
Anyone who is on Li Tianlan's side will not be able to escape and will die.
President, do you know what invincibility means?
That feeling is indescribable. If I want, I can go from Star Kingdom to Europe and sweep across the entire continent in one day. Even now, Central Continent time should be shortly after dinner? We can be on the phone. If I leave now, I can even treat you to a late night snack later...
This feeling is what I have been pursuing. Now that I have this power, I naturally want to do whatever I want.
My enemies have to pay the price, they owe me this, and I want to get it all back."
His voice kept echoing in Guo Wentian's ears through the mobile phone.
The corners of Guo Wentian's mouth twitched, and his eyes were solemn.
He glanced at Wang Qinglei and found that his eyes were full of thoughts.
"You are declaring war with Zhongzhou."
Guo Wentian said calmly: "You chose revenge. I don't see your sincerity in wanting to come back."
"This is my sincerity."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly: "When I returned to Zhongzhou, I put down what I have now to get what I haven't got yet. This approach is not wise. If I have to give a reason, I can only say that Zhongzhou is worth it, but you can't count on me. Will ignore everything that belongs to Li Tianlan.
Li Hua became Li Tianlan and drove me out of Central Continent. Now that Li Tianlan has no strength, I want to go back. Naturally, I will not allow other threats. The Eastern Palace, the Lin Clan, and the Dark Knights are all the capital for Li Tianlan's comeback in the future. I Instead of destroying them, should I keep them all until Li Tianlan rises again, and then I will be kicked out again?"
His laughter was a little cold: "I don't want to lose face?"
"So, what you just said is just the beginning?"
Guo Wentian remained calm: "You still want to kill Li Tianlan, right?"
It is difficult to describe how Guo Wentian is feeling now, but it is certain that there is resistance in it.
Guo Wentian doesn't like Li Tianlan, and he also doesn't like Donghuang Palace and Shengshi Fund. Personal ability can drive a force to an absolutely strong state. In this situation, its existence will inevitably harm the larger collective.
Some of Li Tianlan's previous actions have already proven this.
When Guo Wentian was the most impulsive, he even said that he would destroy the East Palace and Tiannan regardless of the overall situation.
But from his heart, he doesn't like Li Tianlan, but he is not determined to kill him. He still hopes to put shackles on Li Tianlan, tightly restrain the East Palace, and hold the knife firmly. Hold it in Zhongzhou's hands, cut off the possibility of his backlash, and fully utilize him to deal with external disturbances.
Li Tianlan is like this, Shengshi Fund is like this, and even the Lin Clan and the Dark Knights are like this.
There is no need to say more about Shengshi Fund. Today, under the control of Han Donglou, Shengshi Fund has expanded to a point that no one dares to ignore. If Zhongzhou can fully control Shengshi Fund, combined with Zhongzhou’s foundation, Zhongzhou
What does it mean to have almost absolute say in countless fields?
This means that even if Zhongzhou is the overlord, the size of the Shengshi Fund has reached a point where it can directly and greatly enhance the overlord's strength.
There is no need to say more about the influence of the Lin clan.
The Dark Knights are also useful.
Li Tianlan, Lin Clan, Shengshi Foundation, Dark Knights...
How much benefit this series of things combined can bring to Zhongzhou, Guo Wentian can't calculate for the time being, but he can be sure that if all this can be used by Zhongzhou, or in other words, it can be used by him, then there will be no two reasons.
In ten years, he will be 100% sure that the entire continent will become the second Annan.
All this can be said to be what Guo Wentian wanted in his dreams.
But at the same time, this is also something Jiang Shangyu wants to destroy in his dreams.
Is it worth it?
Guo Wentian suddenly wanted to use a scale and put the weight of Jiang Shangyu and everything of Li Tianlan on it to see which end was heavier.
As he thought about it, Jiang Shangyu's words had already sounded, very innocent: "Kill Li Tianlan? I have never thought about it... This... I really haven't thought about it. How could I want to kill Li Tianlan?"
Wang Qinglei sat aside, twitching the corner of his mouth.
Guo Wentian felt that his IQ had been insulted and sneered: "Do you think I am a fool?"
"No, how could it be... But what I said is true. Li Tianlan has no strength anymore. Why should I kill him... I won't kill Li Tianlan, really... because..."
After a slight pause, Jiang Shangyu's laughter became gentler: "Because, Li Tianlan wants you to kill him... It's very simple, he has no strength after all..."
"After all, his status is quite special, and I don't want to make the relationship too rigid, which will make it difficult to do so in the future, right?
Such people should have been dealt with internally.
You kill Li Tianlan, and I will return to Central Continent after I deal with everything around him. The Prince Group will be my only ally in the future, and the dynasty will still appear in the future. It is my dynasty, Jiang Shangyu, how about it, President?"
"This is impossible."
Guo Wentian took a deep breath, and his voice seemed a little hoarse because he was too determined.
"Nothing is impossible."
Jiang Shangyu said: "Things are not that difficult. In any case, Li Tianlan is dead. Youzhou will be very lively next. The Prince Group will have many opportunities to fish in troubled waters. As long as Li Tianlan dies, after I return to Zhongzhou..."
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while and asked: "Does this mean there is no point in talking about it?"
Guo Wentian's breathing became faster and he did not speak.
Jiang Shangyu was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
He is really not in a hurry now.
Because Jiang Shangyu, who became the genius after his breakthrough, is still in a state of deep meditation. Jiang Shangyu doesn’t know what the specific situation of his other self is now, but it seems that it will be difficult to wake up in a while. As for Guo Wentian, it will be a while.
It's normal to not be able to figure it out. His phone call was nothing more than an introduction.
Everyone knows that Youzhou will be very lively next.
Everyone also knows that Jiang Shangyu replaced Li Tianlan and became the invincible in the dark world.
But knowing and seeing are two different things.
What Zhongzhou is facing now is only pressure, and when this pressure becomes a reality and happens to everyone, the introduction he left today may become Guo Wentian's choice.
No matter what, Zhongzhou is indeed better than Star Country, and much better. Jiang Shangyu cannot deny this. If he can go back, of course he is willing to go back, provided that there is no Li Tianlan, and no...
"The Speaker will not agree."
Guo Wentian said slowly: "Ten thousand steps back, even if I agree, I can't kill Li Tianlan in the sight of the Speaker."
"Chen Fangqing's death seems to have little impact."
Jiang Shangyu said softly.
Guo Wentian was stunned.
The other person's words, which seemed to have no weight, fell on his ears like thunder.
Jiang Shangyu suddenly mentioned Chen Fangqing.
Chen Fangqing's death seems to have no impact, what about Li Huacheng?
"You're crazy."
Guo Wentian's arms were shaking slightly and he no longer wanted to continue talking.
"It's still too far to say this."
Jiang Shangyu took a breath: "President, we just need to clarify a few facts.
First of all, I am an ambitious person, and I have never denied this.
When I was a child, I must have been ambitious since I was very young. I was unwilling to accept the situation of my family and the status of the Beihai Wang family. The Beihai Wang family, Kunlun City, and the six major groups... were all so strong.
When I was very young, I thought that I could stand at this height, or even at a higher height...
Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan...
In my life till now, there are many people whom I admire and look down upon, but there is not a single one who I truly admire.
I also want to become a strong person, and there are actually many ways to become a strong person. For example, President, you are also a strong person, but I don’t quite appreciate it. Do you know why?”
Guo Wentian listened quietly without saying a word.
"Stronger than power, stronger than wealth, they are all external things. Everything is based on order. With rules, this kind of power can be infinitely amplified...
But I don't like the so-called order. I like freedom, even the freedom in the shadows.
I like pure power. Only power is something that truly belongs to me.
So I finally chose martial arts, and there were a lot of setbacks along the way, but fortunately I was pretty lucky, at least now... I have succeeded."
"Perhaps one day you will lose your position, power, wealth, and status, but I don't have to be afraid of these. I really am not afraid. I have already experienced it, but I can reach the stars if I turn around.
country, they still welcome me happily. This is the power I want, the power that can satisfy my ambition and make me strong.
Sorry, I was a little emotional and talked too much, but I think you should understand me. Well, you understand me. Star Country is a foreign country. A group of foreigners have too few common topics. They understand me. Yes
Relying on information, only Zhongzhou, you understand me, it is what you see with your own eyes.
I have been suppressing it for too long. I have been waiting for today, waiting, and waiting... It doesn't matter whether you call me a villain or a arrogant person... I have a lot to say, and I really can't bear it.
Stay...well, sorry, I said too much..."
Jiang Shangyu muttered to himself in confusion. He slowly fell silent. After a while, he continued: "Well, after saying so much, I actually just want to say a fact. President, now I am already strong.
Now that I have the power to satisfy my ambition, what I need next is momentum. This is the first point."
"Zhongzhou is actually also a strong person. There has been a saying about the five strong ones for a long time. Zhongzhou is the strongest. It is so strong that even if the other four join forces to attack Zhongzhou, theoretically Zhongzhou will have a lot of chances of winning. This is what I
It's needed.
You see, I have become a strong man now. I want to rely on the strongest collective to build my own dynasty...
If I had time, I could do this in Star Kingdom, but it would take too long, ten or twenty years. I have shortcuts and better ways, so why bother?
So this is the second fact. I really want to return to Central Continent. There is no need to doubt it. If possible, everything I have now is bullshit. Returning to Central Continent is the only way to join forces... Well,
It’s great to join forces. I want to go back in my dreams. I’ve really been dreaming recently..."
"Well, there's a third fact...
Li Tianlan and I... ha... Li Huacheng has actually made this fact very clear. Who is he, Li Huacheng? He chose to drive me out of Zhongzhou, which means that he believes that the conflict between Li Tianlan and me is
There is no way to resolve what he thinks cannot be done, and there is no need for others to try. Look, the facts are in front of us. Li Tianlan and I can only have a life-or-death situation, President...
When I return to Zhongzhou, Li Tianlan must die, but if I hadn't killed him, there would have been a lot less trouble. Please help me, please...
I really want to go back, and it just so happens that you need me now. Li Tianlan’s life is the bargaining chip for you to show your sincerity. How dare I go back to Central Continent if he is alive, right? This is the third fact.
Li Tianlan cannot coexist, and Li Tianlan's death is the prerequisite for my return."
"The fourth, um, final fact...
That is that Zhongzhou has become very mature. A few months later, it will be the beginning of a new situation, but after all, there are still a few months. During this period, I can do a lot of things, and everyone can do a lot of things. Li Huacheng’s position, although
It seems that the overall situation has been decided, but who can say that accidents will definitely not happen? Not all accidents involve life and death. It is also a good accident to make him disappear in front of everyone, uh... But I still think about this
I don’t know much about it, but the president should be a master in this area. I want to say that if you need help, you can come to me. You see, I am willing to help and I will do my best..."
"So, the situation is obvious now. President, kill Li Tianlan and I will return to Central Continent.
Zhongzhou will sweep the dark world with a more powerful attitude. I will smash Li Tianlan's things and establish a new dynasty, a dynasty that can help each other with the Prince Group. I have power, you have strength, and Youzhou has a city.
Everything is ready, the future is within reach, but now... we only need one cooperation, a small cooperation...
You can refuse, it doesn’t matter, but what happens next in Youzhou will make you realize what reality is. At least now, you still have enough time to think about it..."
Jiang Shangyu finished speaking.
Guo Wentian was silent, trying hard to digest every word from Jiang Shangyu. The silence lasted for about two or three minutes. Guo Wentian took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Then, that's it..."
He said these words very slowly and meaningfully.
I don’t know whether this is just this phone call, or this is just this cooperation. Maybe it means both, but neither means much.
Jiang Shangyu laughed, said nothing more, and hung up the phone.
He also got a message.
That is, no matter what, although Guo Wentian didn't agree to anything, he didn't reject anything either.
It's just the first step, it's enough.
The phone hung up, the beeping sound was busy for a while, and then silence returned.
Guo Wentian stared at the mobile phone in front of him quietly, and suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
Wang Qinglei, who remained silent throughout the whole process, seemed hesitant.
He nodded and shook his head.
"There is no need to doubt Jiang Shangyu's sincerity."
Wang Qinglei said.
Guo Wentian hummed. As the overlord, Zhongzhou has enough confidence.
After all, Xingguo is Jiang Shangyu's secondary choice. If he had a choice, he would return to Zhongzhou. There is no doubt about this.
"But Li Tianlan...it's hard to say."
Wang Qinglei suddenly laughed bitterly: "We have no way to grasp Li Tianlan's specific condition now. This decision is not easy to make."
"Look again?"
Guo Wentian looked at Wang Qinglei and sounded like he was mumbling to himself.
"Look again."
Wang Qinglei nodded.
The two stopped talking about business and chatted for a while before Wang Qinglei said goodbye and left.
It wasn't until he was far away from Guo Wentian's residence that Wang Qinglei slowed down and narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Shangyu said a lot just now.
But what moved Wang Qinglei the most was not killing Li Tianlan.
It's about those few words about Li Huacheng.
for that location.
Wang Qinglei can be said to be a real dreamer.
It was because he couldn't get that position in the Southeast Group that he ended up like this. He helped the Prince Group capture Wuyue, try to keep Huating, and then seek Beihai.
The ultimate goal of all this is to make the Prince Group the number one group and ultimately help him achieve his dream.
He originally thought that this dream would take at least a few years to have any chance of success.
But the rain on the river...
No, if Li Huacheng...
He shook his head vigorously. There are still a few months to go before Zhongzhou without Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu's dynasty...
Various messages kept flashing in his mind.
Wang Qinglei's pace became slower and slower. He slowly took out his mobile phone and found Jiang Shangyu's number. He hesitated for a while and finally dialed it.
