The shock caused by Li Tianlan's return to Central Continent has not subsided. On the contrary, as time goes by, the atmosphere within the Central Continent's special operations system becomes more and more tense.
All topics about Li Tianlan have begun to become more and more popular, and throughout Central Continent, there are signs that a storm is about to come with his return.
All this is not because of Li Tianlan's strength, or even his talent.
But because of his identity.
Just because of his identity.
Heir to the Li family and grandson of Li Honghe.
This identity is like a mirror. Standing in Zhongzhou, he can clearly reflect the false foundation of Kunlun City, the many doubts about the treason case that year, and the significance of the silence of the Beihai Wang family.
Profound and long, it can also reflect the firm stance of the City of Sighs over the years.
This is a very embarrassing thing.
Kunlun City does not want to see Li Tianlan appear, because they stepped on the remains of the Li family to reach their current position, and anyone in the Li family will be instinctively regarded as a threat by them.
The Wang family in Beihai also did not want to see Li Tianlan appear, because no matter whether their silence back then was right or wrong, they had already proven the correctness of their silence back then over the years.
More than twenty years ago, the Wang family and the Li family in Beihai jointly supported the southeastern group of the empire.
But now, the Beihai Wang family is supreme in the Southeast Group.
Therefore, the appearance of Li Tianlan is also a threat to the Wang family in Beihai.
But now Li Tianlan can be said to be a famous town in the dark world, and he is still the young city lord of Sighing City.
If he died on Long Island, that would be the most perfect ending.
But he is not dead now.
After miraculously resurrecting from the dead, his identity suddenly pushed the Beihai Wang Family and Sigh City into a situation where everyone wanted to move but no one was willing to act rashly.
So Mr. Li began to live only for himself.
Li Tianlan is still the young city lord of Sigh City.
The most important thing is that Li Tianlan has now become the hero of the Central Continent Special Warfare System.
The Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City were ready to move but did not move.
Li Tianlan didn't move either.
Therefore, the atmosphere within the Central Continent Special Warfare System is becoming increasingly tense.
Not many people know about Li Tianlan's current state yet. People's impression of him always remains at the last moment of the decisive battle on Changdao. In that state, Li Tianlan controlled the resources of Sighing City and the remaining light of the Li family. Although compared with Kunlun City,
There is still a long way to go compared to the Wang family in Beihai, but at least they have the ability to fight.
Everyone is waiting for Li Tianlan's move.
As long as he makes a move, it seems that the biggest turmoil in the empire's special warfare system in the past two decades will begin.
Li Tianlan is indeed moving.
The so-called movement is nothing more than that he is no longer sitting by the lake, but casually wandering around the Donghuang Palace.
The Donghuang Palace, where the signboard of Hanyue Palace still hangs, is not large, covering an area of nearly two hundred acres, but it is full of exquisiteness, with flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions scattered in a well-proportioned manner. Li Tianlan walked there all day long, and his whole person changed.
It's becoming more and more obvious.
Everyone can feel this change.
Li Tianlan became more and more ordinary, more and more ordinary, and the peace of mind began to disappear on him. Dressed in white, he walked among the flowers and plants, but he seemed to be floating like a speck of dust, a small and silent person.
Almost completely ignored by everyone.
His temperament becomes more illusory every day than before. He is clearly standing there and can be seen by anyone, but people just can't focus on him.
illusory.
Li Tianlan is still thinking and trying. He doesn't know whether his change is good or bad, but he is sure that as long as there is change, it is always good.
It has been half a month since I returned from Sky Academy.
Li Tianlan's physical condition has not improved at all. There are more and more various paths in front of him, so many that he doesn't know which one is correct. He thinks, tests, and makes choices. His heart is still calm, and he doesn't seem to be a little anxious.
Time passes slowly.
Early autumn is gradually passing.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Xu Chu, who had been staying in the Donghuang Palace and only occasionally went to Sky Academy for classes, found Li Tianlan with a slightly twitchy look on his face.
Li Tianlan's mood seemed to have truly become peaceful. Seeing the resolute Xu Chu in the past, he couldn't help but smile and joked: "Brother Xu, what kind of show is this? Are you embarrassed to say it? With your body type, you can't compare to this
The words have nothing to do with it."
Xu Chu scratched his head. He was tall and majestic, and he looked like a giant standing in front of the illusory Li Tianlan who was increasingly losing his presence.
"Master... Aunt Bai wanted to come and see you, and she is on her way now..."
Xu Chu hesitated and said in a deep voice.
"Aunt Bai?"
Li Tianlan didn't react for a while.
There was an endless stream of visitors to the Donghuang Palace before he came back, but since he came back, all the visitors have disappeared without a trace. This also shows how much trouble his appearance has brought to Zhongzhou, and Li Tianlan is too lazy to pay attention to it.
All these things, I just thought it would be good to be more pure. Now that I heard such a title from Xu Chu's mouth, he felt a little confused subconsciously.
"Secretary Bai Qingqian, it was Aunt Bai who asked me to come to the young master at that time."
Xu Chu said softly.
Bai Qingqian...the top leader of Guanzhong Province, a strange woman in Zhongzhou's political circles, and a backbone of Zhongzhou's wealthy group.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched.
To him, the most important identity of Aunt Bai is that she is the wife of Marshal Dongcheng Wudi and the mother of Dongcheng Rushi.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt a headache when he thought of the engagement that he had almost subconsciously forgotten.
But a headache was a headache. People were here and he couldn't leave. He looked at Xu Chu and asked, "Where are the people?"
In the cold autumn wind in the early morning, he turned around and said slowly: "Come with me to pick it up."
"Almost there."
Xu Chu followed Li Tianlan and whispered: "When Aunt Bai called me, it was about ten kilometers away from here."
Li Tianlan nodded and walked towards the door.
"Where is Tianlan going?"
Another voice sounded behind the two of them.
Ning Qiancheng came over. Compared to Xu Chu, he spoke much more directly: "I just received a call from the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief wants to come over and sit down. He will be there soon."
Although there is more than one marshal in Zhongzhou, there is only one marshal in Ning Qiancheng's mouth.
Li Tianlan looked at Xu Chu, who had a strange expression, and then looked at Ning Qiancheng, and couldn't help but said: "The commander came here by himself?"
"yes."
Ning Qiancheng said casually: "The commander-in-chief has a meeting in Youzhou tonight, so I came to Huating to see you in advance."
Li Tianlan and Xu Chu looked at each other.
Dongcheng is invincible.
Bai Qingqian.
Why did this couple come here at the same time?
Can't we make an appointment in advance?
Li Tianlan thought of his engagement with Dongcheng Rushi again, and felt a lot of pressure. He waved helplessly and said, "Let's go together to greet Mr. Yu."
"Grandpa and Qingyan are out."
It was natural for Ning Qiancheng to call him grandpa. Now that he and Yu Qingyan were sleeping in the same room under Yu Donglai's eyes, the future of the young couple was completely determined.
Li Tianlan nodded, squinted his eyes, and walked directly to the gate of Donghuang Palace.
His mother-in-law-to-be, Bai Qingqian, who had never had any contact with him, came for unknown reasons.
But Dongcheng Wudi's arrival was enough to make him realize something.
It has been a month since he appeared in Sky Academy. Although Donghuang Palace leads a life that is similar to isolation from the world, the outside world is destined to be unable to be peaceful. Now that Dongcheng Wudi has come here, some of the arguments from the outside world have basically ended.
There is a clear result.
Li Tianlan's face was expressionless.
He knew very well that this result would not be a good thing for him or the Donghuang Palace.
"Did the Marshal say anything on the phone?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
"without."
Ning Qiancheng walked beside him, shook his head, and said casually: "But you can guess, it's probably for your marriage to Ru Shi."
"So the Marshal came here with Secretary Bai?"
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly.
"Madam is here too?"
Ning Qiancheng looked surprised. Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian collided. Obviously Ning Qiancheng didn't know whether it was a coincidence or deliberate.
"Tsk tsk... This is forcing you to express your stance. Tianlan, what are your plans?"
"I have no plans."
Li Tianlan told the truth.
Grandpa said the Dongcheng family can be trusted.
But Li Tianlan didn't know whether he should believe Dongcheng was like this.
On the night when he and Dongcheng Ruzhi performed a reconnaissance mission together on Changdao, the moment they were exposed, Li Tianlan was not sure whether Dongcheng Ruzhi wanted to kill him, but he was very sure that when everything in Changdao was about to end,
The woman in white who pierced her heart with a sword also had a red, crystal-clear dagger hanging on her waist.
She couldn't understand these things.
If you don’t understand, then don’t think about it. If you don’t want to, naturally you won’t have a plan.
Therefore, although Li Tianlan didn't feel any resistance in his heart towards the couple who were about to come to the Donghuang Palace, they were regarded as super heavyweights no matter where they were placed, but he did not have many thoughts of welcoming them.
The three of them came to the gate of Donghuang Palace in silence and looked at the smooth and clean road outside.
The road was quiet, and occasionally some yellow leaves fell to the ground with the wind, making a slight sound.
In front of the gate of Donghuang Palace, the security guard Wang Yuetong temporarily recruited from the labor market has begun to change shifts.
As if he felt something, Li Tianlan turned around instinctively.
In sight, two security guards who looked ordinary and nothing out of the ordinary took over from the security guards on duty and walked into the duty room.
One is tall, one is short, one is fat and one is thin.
As if aware of Li Tianlan's gaze, the two nodded to Li Tianlan and showed a somewhat flattering smile.
The fat security guard even tilted his hat when he raised his hand in salute, which looked a little funny.
Li Tianlan didn't smile, his eyes suddenly became clear and deep, looking extremely enchanting.
At this moment, his whole body seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Qiancheng noticed Li Tianlan's movements and followed his line of sight, just in time to see two security guards walking into the duty room.
Ning Qiancheng couldn't help but laugh: "Yuetong, this fool, has been fooled. I have already investigated these security guards. There are twelve people in total. They were all brought by Yuetong from the labor market. They all brag that they are special forces."
After retiring, Yuetong really believed it. But what about the reality? Among the twelve people, only one was a real veteran of the special forces, and one had military service experience in a third-rate unit. The other nine were ordinary people.
"
"I asked Houlong to check their details in detail. There was nothing wrong with these people and they had no bad records, so I didn't tell Yuetong and kept them all. Yuetong still doesn't know what happened. I want to
It’s easy to understand why there are so many retired special forces soldiers in the labor market.”
Li Tianlan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes gradually calmed down.
"Labor market?"
he asked softly.
"Um."
Ning Qiancheng nodded casually. He looked at Li Tianlan and suddenly frowned: "What? Is there something wrong?"
Li Tianlan smiled and said nothing.
question?
More than just a problem?
He became invincible on Long Island and resurrected from the dead in Zhongzhou. Now his martial arts level is almost zero, but after Nirvana and rebirth, his perception has become incredibly sharp.
The two security guards on duty last night were indeed fine.
But when the two people who had just changed shifts came over, Li Tianlan instinctively felt a vague but strong sense of oppression.
It wasn't hostility or murderous intent, it was just a natural sense of oppression.
They hide well.
Li Tianlan even felt that if he had been standing in front of them before going to Changdao, or even in the Thunder Realm, it would be difficult for him to notice this sense of oppression.
But the keen sense he had after his new life clearly reminded him of how strong the sense of oppression felt on the two security guards.
This is the security guard Wang Yuetong recruited from the labor market.
But when did the entire dark world become so destitute that even masters at the peak of the Thunder Realm had to work as security guards to earn a living?
And there are two at once?
Who can afford such high-end security?
Li Tianlan suddenly smiled.
He suddenly discovered that the security guard Wang Yuetong recruited to the Donghuang Palace was not only problematic, but also very interesting.
