For the entire dark world, the alternation between Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu is undoubtedly a big event.
Just like the alternation between Wang Tianzong and Li Tianlan, the old and new eras passed by. Things happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard, which ultimately led to the current situation.
This time, although things happened very suddenly, various news was released bit by bit and then confirmed. As time passed, all forces had an opportunity to express their attitudes.
Guo Wentian's reaction should have been a little slower.
Maybe it was because Li Tianlan put too much pressure on him, or maybe he was a little far away from the dark world, but others were completely different. After knowing that Li Tianlan's strength was taken away by Jiang Shangyu, Jiang Shangyu used it to break through and recover from his injuries.
, the pressure brought by him has turned into a substantial shadow, frantically dispersing Li Tianlan's aura, and began to impact the entire dark world.
A new chaos suddenly came.
Some people plan to speculate, some people watch with cold eyes, and some people plan to go all out to seize more benefits. All levels of the dark world are in constant turmoil. Storms have formed within the Star Kingdom, including the European Alliance, Snow Kingdom, major wealthy families, and even the heroes who are still lingering.
Hui, Jiang, and various forces in the dark world entered the Snow Country with different messages, expressing clear attitudes that could affect the entire dark world.
Tianjiao reached the peak, and Jiang Shangyu, who originally had nothing, began to gather strength around him at an incredible speed.
The Star Nation accepted all of this readily, while Reinhardt still took charge of the overall situation and coordinated various interests.
If the gap between Star Kingdom and Zhongzhou still needs a long time to catch up, then with Jiang Shangyu's breakthrough and Li Tianlan's loss of power, at least at the level of the dark world, because of Jiang Shangyu, Star Kingdom has already
After seeing the looming edge of the overlord, one step further is the dynasty.
Some people are concerned about this situation, while others are indifferent.
Wang Xiaoyao falls into the latter category.
He was naturally aware of the news that was making waves in the dark world. He thought about the consequences of the alternation between Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu, and then put it aside.
Because...I can't care.
What the future holds is ultimately a matter of the future.
Wang Xiaoyao is now completely in trouble.
The first month of Central Continent has passed, and February has come to an end. While Central Continent seems to be in a calm situation, the interior of the North Sea is already in turmoil.
After the meeting where Zhong Youwei's accident occurred, Wang Shengxiao had truly launched a counterattack in his weakest state.
And it's an all-round counterattack.
At the end of February, the order signed by Wang Shengxiao was conveyed to the entire Beihai Jun regiment.
Nearly 300,000 monarchs equipped with various military equipment began to advance southward from different cities, and temporary bases were built on the banks of the Canglan River.
Early March.
Various orders from the Imperial Army Mountain are issued more and more frequently, and hundreds of thousands of monarchs take different actions every day.
South of the Canglan River, everyone in the Wang Xiaoyao Group has become nervous.
Although from an intellectual point of view, Wang Xiaoyao does not think that his nephew wants to fight with him desperately at this time and bypass the level of the dark world to launch a real war, but out of instinct, he still needs to make preparations.
.
The Morning Lord group also began to gather towards the north.
According to the actions of the Chenxi Jun Regiment, the intelligence department of Emperor Bingshan was fully mobilized. In less than twenty-four hours, nearly forty secret agents of Wang Xiaoyao in the Beihai Regiment were directly identified.
One of them is even a backbone figure from the sword-wielding family. Looking at the entire Beihai, he can barely be called a high-level person.
Although he was injured, Wang Shengxiao, who had already broken through the invincible realm, personally took action and killed all the lurkers.
Almost at the same time, the Zhutian troops broke into pieces and crossed the Canglan River, and then divided into several groups, and began to assassinate and instigate rebellion against the middle and high-level officials of the Chenxi Lord Regiment.
After the bloody storm passed, a large number of elite members of the Chenxi Lord Regiment began to abscond and re-entered the Beihai Lord Regiment.
Wang Xiaoyao naturally would not sit still and wait for death. While his own side was losing blood, his various methods were also aimed at the Imperial Army Mountain.
The competition between the two sides continues to escalate, and the friction becomes more and more intense.
Although Wang Shengxiao did not seem to suffer any losses in a short period of time, the losses existed objectively after all. This was still Beihai after all. Hundreds of years of management had unfathomable foundations. Wang Shengxiao had many means to use up Wang Xiaoyao. Among these means,
There are some things that Wang Xiaoyao knows, but there are some things that he doesn't know.
Under normal circumstances, it is actually in Wang Shengxiao's best interests to continue to waste each other like this.
However, Wang Shengxiao's offensive posture is extremely urgent. He wants to overwhelm Wang Xiaoyao head-on at any cost. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyao, who seems to have suffered no big losses during this period, is just passively coping, while those who want to increase the intensity of the conflict
, it is Wang Shengxiao, he has enough confidence and is not afraid of losses at all, so now it seems that although the losses of both parties are similar, Wang Xiaoyao is really facing a dilemma.
Taking advantage of the chaos to occupy half of the North Sea, he naturally has to bear risks, and this is what he should bear, so even if it is difficult, he can only endure it, and even have to act calm on the surface.
Breezy attitude.
And this attitude became even more obvious when he and Guo Yang were drinking tea together.
Guo Yang is the new governor of Beihai, or is about to become the new governor. The appointment of the parliament has been issued. Guo Yang came to Beihai, but did not immediately go to Shengzhou to take office. He had about half a month of vacation, so he came to Beihai.
After that, he came directly to Canglan and stayed with Wang Xiaoyao all day long, intending to learn more about the situation here in more detail through Wang Xiaoyao.
Wang Shengxiao told everything he knew and was forthright, but as time went by, the more he spoke, the more subtle Guo Yang's attitude became.
"When I was on the phone with my uncle yesterday, he said something, well, about Beihai... He was still a little uneasy about me, so he spent a lot of effort to provide me with several breakthroughs..."
Shortly after nightfall, in Wang Xiaoyao's study, the tall and relatively ordinary-looking Guo Yang played with the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to hear Xiaoyao's advice."
Guo Yang is Guo Wentian's nephew, uncle and nephew. Before coming to Beihai, he was in Nanyun. Although he was a deputy, he had the energy to speak for himself.
Going from Nanyun to Beihai was a mutual compromise between Li Huacheng and Guo Wentian. He left Nanyun to make way for the new group, and Guo Wentian conveniently put him in Beihai with Li Huacheng's support, which was tantamount to paving the way for his nephew.
Sending his nephew to Beihai to expand territory for the group is both a trust and a test. If Guo Yang does well in Beihai, he will go further in a few years. This will not only be a fatal blow to the Wang family in Beihai, but also a test.
You can also see him in the parliament.
Wang Xiaoyao took a sip of tea, looked at Guo Yang, and said with a smile: "What did the president say?"
Guo Yang's expression froze for a moment, and he shook his head and said: "Although there is a breakthrough, my uncle's intention is to slow down and wait for the right time..."
He put down the tea cup and looked at Wang Xiaoyao, with a tentative tone in his voice, as if he was joking: "So, I came to Xiaoyao to see if you can give me a chance.
My uncle has been paying attention to Beihai's affairs for many years. Not only him, but also all the giants are thinking about this place. I'm a little anxious because Zhongzhou is anxious.
To tell you the truth, I was under a lot of pressure when I came to Beihai. If we can open up the situation quickly, it will be good for you, me, and Zhongzhou, right?"
"This is the truth."
Wang Xiaoyao nodded: "But you should know that the situation on my side is actually very revealing. My nephew is in a somewhat sensitive mental state now. He wants to beat me to death.
Look at what he has been doing during this period, using various means to eliminate my influence in the Beihai Jun regiment, and then crossing the river, using a small group of elites to assassinate my middle and high-level people. At the same time, several groups and some business forces below me,
They all also suffered blows.
What is the current situation of Beihai's economic system? Internal and external troubles are good. To put it harshly, it is precarious. But even so, he is fighting with me regardless of losses. In addition, various resources...
Outside..."
Wang Xiaoyao smiled: "The sea has been blocked. Nothing can come in, not even by air. If anyone dares to come, my nephew will kill him...
He is acting crazy now, what does this mean?"
Guo Yang's brows were already frowning tightly.
"Right now, all I can do is deal with it. I will play whatever he wants. I will return his methods intact. I don't dare to do anything drastic. The 300,000 yuan on the other side of the river.
If you are in a hurry, you will really rush over in a minute. There is no need.
The best way is actually to waste it like this. Young people have a high spirit and can understand it. Now his energy is at its strongest. What we need to consider is to avoid it first. I believe that my nephew can persist.
He can persist for one month, two months, three months, or even longer, I believe.
But as time goes by, the people around him will start to think about gains and losses. Those people are his pressure and their help. When these people start to make different voices, that will be my chance. Now,
I just carried it and got beaten when I got beaten. Occasionally I found the right opportunity to fight back and punched or kicked the opponent. But it still takes time to win. At this time, I went to provoke him casually. In addition to forcing the opponent
There is no point other than going crazy."
Guo Yang started to speak but stopped.
Wang Xiaoyao waved his hand and continued to laugh: "Actually, when it comes to the breakthrough, I am here, and it is the most appropriate. Governor, your position is in the Holy State...Does the Holy State know?
Here is Canglan...
Holy State, at the foot of the Imperial Army Mountain, every move you make is under the eyes of others, so the president will tell you to look for opportunities.
To put it bluntly, I don’t know which breakthroughs you are talking about, but I don’t need to know.
After so many years in Beihai, there is no breach that I don’t know that can be discovered by outsiders. However, if it is not fatal, it has no meaning. If it were really fatal, the president would not dare to bring it out. The final result is the so-called breach.
, it just brings some trouble to Emperor Bingshan, and it’s not worth it.
If you really want to do something, after arriving in Shengzhou, you can start with the conflict between me and Emperor Bingshan, try to persuade and mediate. Of course, the effect will be ineffective, but at least you can still make a voice and let others understand your will.
...
Of course, this is my personal suggestion, you can make your own decision."
Guo Yang's eyes lit up, with excitement visible to the naked eye.
"A true insight, but nothing more than that."
He said with satisfaction, even a little grateful.
Wang Xiaoyao shook his head, picked up the cigarette case in front of him and handed it to Guo Yang: "Do you want it?"
Guo Yang took out one and lit it, inhaled deeply, slowly puffed out the smoke, closed his eyes, and looked calm after recollection.
Wang Shengxiao looked at him and said nothing.
He didn't know much about Guo Yang, but judging from the other party's situation after arriving in Beihai, he could roughly understand the other party's thoughts.
These days, the other party has always had a smile on his face. When talking about the future, he also has ambitions and longings, as well as gentleness and heroism, but Wang Xiaoyao has never seen the calmness on his face now.
So he pointed out a way to the other party. Anyway, this way is also good for himself and benefits both parties, so it is a good way.
"I understand what you mean."
Guo Yang opened his eyes and looked at Wang Xiaoyao. He even imitated the ancients and cupped his hands towards Wang Xiaoyao: "In the future, Xiaoyao should still take good care of her."
Wang Xiaoyao can see through his mentality.
And Guo Yang himself did not hide his mentality.
When he came to Beihai, he had great burdens and pressures. Standing in his current position, if he takes a step forward, he can really expand the sea and the sky. If he takes a step back, he can really be saved. He has expectations for the future in his heart, and he also has expectations for the future.
The fear of the status quo.
Including the Speaker, among the thirteen members of Beihai, currently, twelve have the same position. He is the only one who is an outsider. What kind of living environment is this?
Being targeted, ignored, and left out, these Guo Yangs were actually mentally prepared.
But what he fears most is that he still loses his life here.
This worry is not an exaggeration at all, after all, he is going to the Holy State.
What is that place?
To find a place on the street where ordinary people could support Emperor Bingshan at all costs was a world that was completely unfamiliar to him. Before he even got there, he seemed to have vaguely sensed the hostility of that world.
This kind of fear and worry has been weighing on his heart for a long time, almost suffocating him.
Guo Wentian did give him a few breakthroughs. If these things are really taken out, they can be regarded as the three fires for the new official to take office. However, after these three fires are burned, he may barely gain a foothold in Beihai, but the greater
The possibility was something Guo Yang didn't dare to think about.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoyao now gave him a way.
A path that is best for him to take now.
The dispute between the north and the south of the North Sea is his best entry point and breakthrough right now.
He would go to God Bingshan and see Wang Shengxiao to mediate the conflict between the uncle and nephew. It would definitely be of no use, but at least his attitude would be known to others.
When Wang Xiaoyao was facing a difficult situation, he went to mediate, which was regarded as a side-effect. But as soon as this attitude came out, first of all, people who were inclined towards Wang Shengxiao in their hearts would give him some support, either explicitly or covertly. In addition, some people who were close to Wang Shengxiao
People who have friendships with Xiaoyao but have not really betrayed Emperor Bingshan will not be too difficult with him. These people are the ones he can win over. After all, he is the governor. This banner is set up with the help of Wang Xiaoyao's influence.
, it should be no problem to barely stand firm in a short period of time.
Beihai is indeed actively working to eliminate Wang Xiaoyao's influence, but to be honest, Wang Shengxiao has been active in this matter, but it is not easy to completely eliminate this influence?
Now most of his attention is focused on the internal affairs of Beihai Juntuan, because this is the foundation of Beihai. As for the upright level of Beihai...
After all, this is not a dark world. There are rules to be followed and rules to be followed. With the arrival of Guo Yang, after his flag is raised, Wang Xiaoyao will be more inclined to Wang Xiaoyao at this level. On the contrary, he is the least afraid of being exposed. When the time comes, these people
Gathered under the banner of Guo Yang, Emperor Bingshan had nothing to do with them. They first formed a team and stopped being alone, and then...
After a while, his uncle will use tough measures to replace one or two members of Beihai...
In this way, life can at least go on.
Such a team may still not be able to shake the status of Emperor Bingshan in a short period of time, but at least, this is already a circle, which means that the power of the parliament has officially affected this place on a practical level for the first time. As long as this is done
After just one step, Guo Yang was already very, very satisfied.
He felt that he should repay Wang Xiaoyao.
At the beginning, when Wang Xiaoyao and Wang Qinglei joined the Prince Group, the voices within the group were extremely confusing. No matter what the intentions of some people were, in short, a considerable number of people at that time expressed clear opinions on their arrival.
, an unwelcoming attitude.
Especially for Wang Xiaoyao, all kinds of suspicions have basically never stopped.
But time passes and people's hearts are revealed.
To this day, such doubts may still exist, but after all, there are not many.
Because Wang Xiaoyao is ruthless enough.
With peak invincible strength, he is considered an absolute big shot in the dark world.
But for such a big shot, the thing he is most famous for seems to always be the thing targeting the Wang family in Beihai.
Initially, Wang's family left Beihai and broke through to enter the invincible realm.
In private, he forcefully detained tens of thousands of elite members of the Beihai Jun Regiment and broke with the Imperial Army.
Drag Wang Qinglei to leave the Southeast Group and forcibly occupy Wuyue.
During the decisive battle in Beihai, he stood on the side of Yu Gu Xingyun and Li Kuangtu on the river and showed no mercy.
The alliance assassinated Xia Zhi, resulting in Xia Zhi being abolished and Wang Shengxiao seriously injured.
Occupying half of the North Sea, going head-to-head with my nephew...
Quite promising.
This is not an irony. After reaching this point, Wang Xiaoyao is still alive today and is indeed very promising. Similarly, after he has accomplished everything he has done, most people no longer doubt his position.
So Guo Yang thought that at this time, he should give Wang Xiaoyao something in return.
"During this period, Canglan's condition seems not to be very good. If you need anything, Xiaoyao, you can just ask.
The Beihai Wang family does have a deep foundation, but if you really want to talk about the foundation, you won't feel bad if you show some of the family members in the group. The team of experts, confidential information, logistical supplies, Jun prepared...
We are all our own people now, so it is necessary to support you. As long as you ask, these things can be brought in at any time. The blockade of Beihai is meaningless. No matter how rampant Wang Shengxiao is, he will not take action against Zhongzhou."
Wang Xiaoyao glanced at Guo Yang.
He seemed a little surprised. He thought for a moment and finally started to smile: "It's not the time yet, but I appreciate it. Thank you."
He knew that Guo Yang really wanted to help.
He even knew that Guo Wentian was waiting for him to speak.
The fact is very obvious.
If it comes to strength, Wang Xiaoyao cannot compete with Emperor Bingshan, no matter what, because the gap is so huge that it is almost impossible to make up for it.
But if you add the Prince Group, both sides will be evenly matched if they compete for their background.
The Prince Group's plan for Beihai has achieved results, and it is impossible to give up no matter what. As long as Wang Xiaoyao opens his mouth, support from all aspects will appear immediately in the next step.
But now...
It's really not the time yet.
Asking for help in such a little difficulty, that's probably how much weight he has in Guo Wentian's heart.
Even if this can be ignored, but now that the Prince Group has directly intervened in the civil strife in Beihai, even if it wins, Wang Xiaoyao will not be able to speak when distributing benefits, and he does not even deserve to speak.
He joined the Prince Group and cooperated with each other. The goal was to become the patriarch of the Wang family in Beihai, not to be the dog of the Prince Group.
It is absolutely inappropriate and completely unnecessary to ask for help at this time.
The predicament he is facing now is not easy, but it is far from being unbearable. In a short period of time, he and Wang Shengxiao can still afford it.
"Why should you be so polite in Xiaoyao, if..."
"Remember what I said?"
Wang Xiaoyao interrupted Guo Yang with a smile: "Don't rush at this time. This is a matter between me and Di Bingshan. If you come to Beihai, you belong to the Prince Group. But if the Prince Group really wants to get involved, then
It’s like officially joining the game.”
Wang Xiaoyao pointed to the direction opposite the Canglan River: "When the time comes, there will be a fight. I have no doubt about my nephew. When there is no way to retreat, he will really fight with all his strength. He would rather die than die."
Wa Quan, I have never forgotten these eight words in Beihai for hundreds of years."
Guo Yang's face was a little stiff.
What Wang Xiaoyao said happened to be what all parties were trying to avoid at this time. Even Wang Shengxiao was unwilling to go to this step, but if things really reached a desperate situation, Wang Shengxiao would not lack the courage to take this step. When he became the King of Beihai
When his power began to pounce from all levels at any cost...
Guo Yang gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"So, you have to slow down, grind, delay, and consume... Actually, I am also in a hurry, more anxious than you, but even so, I can't be impulsive, just take my time.
Of course I will speak up when needed. We are all our own people, so why should I be polite?"
Wang Shengxiao looked at Guo Yang, with a deep meaning in his smile.
He and Wang Qinglei.
One is the person who knows Dibingshan best after his betrayal, and the other is the person who knows the Southeast Group best after his betrayal. Wang Qinglei can talk a little, but some of Wang Xiaoyao's current operations are incomprehensible to the Prince Group, and Wang Xiaoyao also
He didn't explain anything. He still had many methods that he hadn't used yet, but as he said, there was no rush now. Even if Wang Xiaoyao was anxious, he still had to take his time in terms of methods and couldn't completely push Wang Shengxiao into a panic.
Guo Yang took a deep breath, nodded, and said slowly: "Anyway... in short... this is a big event here in Beihai. You and I are the only ones here now. If anything happens in the future, we still have to take care of each other, so
...Ah..."
"I understand...I understand everything."
Wang Xiaoyao smiled and nodded, picked up the tea cup and signaled to Guo Yang.
About an hour later, Guo Yang got up and left.
Wang Xiaoyao sent him to the door and watched his car disappear from sight.
He stood there, silent, and did not move for a long time.
Since taking over half of Beihai, from Qiushui to Canglan, Wang Xiaoyao has not had any fixed residence, nor has he built any palace or palace.
He is only temporarily staying in a hotel in Canglan Linjiang. The hotel is his property. It was a birthday gift given to him by Wang Tianzong when he came of age. It is a chain hotel group, and everyone inside and outside is his.
Living here, I feel quite comfortable during this period of time.
There was wind blowing from the street in front of the hotel, carrying the smell of the Canglan River.
Wang Xiaoyao looked back on the steps and looked at the hotel behind him.
He pursed his lips slightly.
Silently, his figure seemed to turn into a sword energy and disappeared without any warning.
The sword energy swam in the wind and passed through the river.
Cold rain fell from the sky and hit the river surface, turning into dense ripples.
A subtle water line rose on the undulating water. The straight water line opened into a ring of ripples, extending all the way, and finally disappeared on a small island in the center of the Canglan River.
This was once the headquarters of the Jiang family, a sword-wielding family.
The Canglan Jiang family is not in Canglan City, but on the Canglan River, which serves as a core node connecting the north and south of Beihai.
But with Jiang Shangyu occupying Beihai, everything has become a thing of the past.
Wang Xiaoyao walked silently on the island, seemingly aimlessly.
In the center of the island, the Jiang family's flag and the Beihai Wang family's sky and sea flag were still flying. Accompanied by the wind and rain at this moment, and under the gloomy sky, everything felt inexplicably desolate.
Wang Xiaoyao's figure passed by the flag, passed by the still unoccupied small building, and walked into the woods nearby.
He kept walking in the woods, going around in circles, his brows frowning more and more.
The wind howled through the woods.
The rain is getting heavier.
Raindrops fell on the leaves, rustling, and fell on his head, making him feel cold.
Wang Xiaoyao wandered back and forth in the woods for about half an hour.
Until a burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind Wang Xiaoyao.
The laughter was soft and strange, with a sneaky meaning, and it exploded behind Wang Xiaoyao like a thunder.
Wang Xiaoyao's hair stood on end for a moment.
That laughter...
from behind him.
To be precise, it was close to his back.
When the laughter rang out, he could even feel the other person's breath, which was cold, gentle, and indescribably eerie.
Wang Xiaoyao's body remained stiff and motionless.
The other party's body was almost leaning against him.
But from beginning to end, he didn't notice the other party's existence. This seemed to only mean one thing, that is, if the other party killed him...
He may not even have the strength to resist at all.
Wang Xiaoyao's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Slowly, a hand pressed on Wang Xiaoyao's shoulder.
A head slowly stretched out from behind Wang Xiaoyao. His body seemed to be constantly twisting. The head extended from behind to Wang Xiaoyao's eyes, and then looked at him at the closest distance.
At such a close distance, Wang Xiaoyao could no longer see the other person's face, but could only see the other person's fiery red hair.
"Hehe...hehe..."
A complex and chaotic voice rang in Wang Xiaoyao's ears, as if he had discovered some secret. He asked quietly: "You...what are you looking for? Can I help you?"
