(Second update~There is another chapter "Between Family and Country" before, it is very important, don't miss it...)
...
If the order adjustment of the final exercises of the two houses was all aimed at targeting Li Tianlan, then another change after the order adjustment made everyone smell the smell of bloodshed.
Strictly speaking, this is the only change.
The order of the exercise content has been disrupted, but there should be no more and no more, so it does not count as a change.
What Kunlun City changed this time was just a number.
In the first round of the final exercise between the two houses, the casualty rate predicted by the team's collaborative operations was 55%.
Compared with the 30% in the previous term, this 25% extra indicator is destined to be a life-and-death battle with bloodshed, allowing a casualty rate of more than half. This is completely equivalent to Kunlun City telling everyone clearly that in the
When working together as a team, you don't have to worry about any ruthless attacks.
It also laid the groundwork for Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan to deal a cruel blow to Li Tianlan.
The genius of Zhongzhou, the heir to the Li family, the first person of the younger generation...
In an exercise, if you are unlucky, you may become part of the 55% casualty rate.
Li Tianlan could clearly feel the gloomy smell of blood and murderous intention behind the floating index. It was precisely because of this that he asked Dongcheng Rusuo and Du Hanyin to abstain and choose to face everyone by themselves.
Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Ru couldn't say who was involved in the other, but there was no doubt that if she really accompanied Li Tianlan on the battlefield, Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan would definitely kill her.
A daughter of the Dongcheng family who has no position is worthy of anyone's wooing, but after clearly taking sides, she is the enemy.
In an exercise that seems to be 'absolutely fair', when facing the enemy, there is no need for any nonsense.
Li Tianlan didn't think he would lose in the exercise.
But at the critical moment, it was really difficult for him to ensure that he could take care of the people around him. Whether it was because of Dong Chengru himself or because of his relationship with the Dongcheng family, Li Tianlan didn't want any accidents to happen to Dongcheng Ru.
It was late at night and early morning on July 23rd when I convinced Dongcheng.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Ruzhi appeared at Sky Academy. Before preparing to attend the symposium held by Gu Xingyun, Li Tianlan went to the ward of Li Baitian and others.
Li Baitian, Xu Chu, Ning Qiancheng.
The three of them were real brothers in distress, lying side by side on the bed with ugly expressions on their faces.
Du Hanyin, Yu Qingyan and Ye Huayu stood in the ward, looking helpless.
The atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost frozen.
When Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Ru walked in, several people just looked at him, and then the atmosphere became even more depressing.
"What's wrong?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
Ning Qiancheng, who was closest to the door, glanced at him, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing.
Li Tianlan glanced around and landed on Du Hanyin.
Du Hanyin calmly raised a piece of information in his hand.
That's information about the content of the exercise.
The symposium held by Gu Xingyun officially started in less than two hours. At noon, everyone who was qualified to be invited received this information.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth moved and he was about to speak.
"I go!"
Li Baitian suddenly said: "I am participating in the team battle of the exercise."
Xu Chu and Ning Qiancheng raised their eyebrows. Just when they were about to say "I'll go too" regardless of the consequences, Li Tianlan interrupted him with a smile: "It will be useful to treat your current injuries. At least you can kill a few cannon fodder, and then
I pulled you to run away, and you lost in the end for no apparent reason. Is this the result you wanted?"
Li Baitian gritted his teeth. He would not have been injured so seriously in the decisive battle with Gu Youlan. If Gu Yunxia had not suddenly launched a sneak attack, he would definitely be the real core fighting force standing next to Li Tianlan today.
With the Taixu Sword out of its sheath, it would be impossible to defeat the King of Ancient Han Mountain, Shengxiao, but at least it could take a lot of pressure off of Li Tianlan.
"No one is allowed to go."
Li Tianlan said calmly.
He glanced at Du Hanyin, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Like this, you will abstain this afternoon."
Dongcheng held Li Tianlan's hand like this, with no strange expression on her face. Today she was wearing black shorts, white short sleeves, and a very cute round head. She was standing next to Li Tianlan, as quiet as a grass.
"Abstain?"
Du Hanyin looked up in shock.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Tianlan.
"Abstain."
Li Tianlan nodded.
"Young City Lord, I am not afraid of death!"
Du Hanyin bit his lip and spoke firmly.
She joined the City of Sighs three years ago when she was in Tiandu. In the past three years, she has always regarded herself as a person from the City of Sighs. In these three years, Du Hanyin has made little progress in the realm and barely entered the Thunder realm, but the mutated wind in her body has matured.
, there is no need to give time at all, now she can be regarded as a capable assassin in the City of Sighs.
She has wind veins, and they are mutated wind veins. The entire city of Sighs, and even the entire dark world, known as the King of Shadows, Jie, who has dual wind veins, can be said to be her best teacher.
Under the protection of the City of Sighs, she perfectly blended herself into the shadows. In the darkness, she gained the long-lost dignity.
What about before that?
After the destruction of her family, and in the years before entering the City of Sighs, she was still sleeping with different men from Sky Academy, just for a few pitiful credits.
Just for the small but big changes in the past three years, Du Hanyin was willing to die for Sigh City and for the young city lord of Sigh City.
"I don't doubt your determination."
Li Tianlan said softly: "But it doesn't make any sense. The opponent's lineup this time does look quite luxurious. We don't have such a lineup. If we can't match it, we have to admit it. There is no shame in temporarily giving up and giving in. You will have nothing if you die. You will have nothing in the future."
The role is not here. I can do the exercises here alone."
He paused and continued: "If you follow me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you and will be distracted."
This is the reason that convinced Dongcheng to do so.
There will naturally be no problem in convincing everyone in the Donghuang Palace.
"I originally thought that when you came back, the Donghuang Palace would kill everyone in the final exercise, and the brothers would all show off, but now..."
Ning Qiancheng smiled mockingly to himself, a little bitterly.
"Our future is not in Sky Academy."
Li Tianlan laughed: "This is just a starting point, our future sky is in the south."
He looked at Ning Qiancheng with a somewhat meaningful look in his eyes.
"south?"
Everyone was a little surprised.
At this time, most people in Zhongzhou probably think that Li Tianlan will develop northward or in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after graduation.
Situ Cangyue, the lord of Sigh City, used national weapons for personal use and seriously injured Gu Xingyun. Under the anger of the top management, Sigh City suffered heavy losses. Liaodong and Longjiang provinces have now fallen into the hands of Kunlun City and Beihai Wang family respectively, but in Guandong
, Sighing City still has the right to speak out. As the young city lord of Sighing City, it is natural for Li Tianlan to go to Guandong.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the places where the Li family made a comeback, and the political wealth left by Wu Zhengmin is enough for Li Tianlan to go smoothly. These two places are the most suitable for Li Tianlan.
Who would have thought he was going south?
"south..."
Li Baitian's eyes quietly lit up: "Where?"
"Tiannan!"
Li Tianlan took a deep look at Li Baitian and then at Ning Qiancheng.
The place outside the territory of Central Continent, within the sphere of influence of Central Continent, and beyond the constraints of rules is Tiannan.
It was not until this moment when facing Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng that Li Tianlan clearly realized what it meant for him to go to Tiannan.
Many layouts, intentionally or unintentionally, have been implemented a long time ago, and it is only today that they have shown great value.
In Tiannan, under the banner of Annan Kingdom rebels, but actually belonging to the Central Continent Force, the current commander of the Tiannan Free Corps is Ning Zhiyuan.
Ning Qiancheng’s father.
When Donghuang Palace went to Tiannan, Ning Qiancheng was able to play the role of Li Tianlan's spokesperson in Tiannan.
As for Tiannan in Central Continent, it is located in the southwest boundary. Some things in Tiannan's special operations system will be frequently connected with the Southwest Special Operations Headquarters.
Who is the current director of the Southwest Special Operations Headquarters?
This is Kunlun, the main guard of Shushan Nirvana Sword.
Li Baitian's elder brother.
If Ning Qiancheng is Li Tianlan's external spokesperson in Tiannan, Li Baitian is the bridge between Li Tianlan in Tiannan and the Zhongzhou Special Warfare System.
Between Tiannan and Central Continent, the greatest force is the Bloody Legion of the Central Continent Frontier Forbidden Legion.
Wang Wantian, commander of the Bloody Legion, was transferred to the Eastern Theater Command as commander.
But the person who now takes over as commander of the Bloody Legion is still the core of the Dongcheng family.
Thor.
Dongcheng is such a godfather.
He was also the uncle who took Li Tianlan from the border to the desert.
In a daze, it seemed that there was a golden avenue right in front of him. It was only now that Li Tianlan had a vague feeling of enlightenment.
Ning Qiancheng, Li Baitian, Dongcheng Ruzhi, Lei Shen, Ning Zhiyuan...
It was like chess pieces scattered on a foggy chessboard. All of this was originally vague and had no connection with each other. But now as the biggest chess piece, Li Tianlan, fell, the fog cleared and everything became clear.
Clearly.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath.
He saw the Tiannan chessboard where the pieces had been placed, and he also saw in Tiannan how he could truly escape the fate of the chess pieces and become a chess player.
That's where it really begins.
"It's Tiannan!"
Li Tianlan murmured to himself.
"Tiannan?"
An old voice sounded at the door of the ward.
Zhuang Huayang, the principal of Sky Academy, walked in accompanied by Qin Ke, deputy director of the Teaching Office.
He looked at Li Tianlan, who had a calm face, with undisguised complexity and confusion in his eyes.
He is also a player.
So he, like everyone else, looked at Li Tianlan's future in a fog of pessimism.
But it wasn't until he heard Li Tianlan mention the word Tiannan that he suddenly realized what a subtle move the hand behind the scenes had made in Tiannan.
The two characters are Tiannan.
For Zhuang Huayang, it was like a thunder.
Everything seems obvious.
But when Ning Zhiyuan went to Tiannan, it was because the Wang family in Beihai was fighting against dissent in the party.
The ascendance of the Bloody Legion's Thundergod was a prelude to Dongcheng Wudi's trade with the Border Guard Legion after Wang Wantian left.
Shushan became the Southwest Special Operations Headquarters, which was the result of public support and the support of the Prince Group.
All parties acted completely unintentionally, but the result was a situation that was like heaven to Li Tianlan.
Zhuang Huayang didn't believe that this was completely unintentional.
He would rather believe that behind all of this there is a hand that has reached inside the major groups and is carefully and quietly controlling the situation.
This is truly unfathomable.
I just don’t know who this hand is that can be called a national player.
Is it Li Honghe? Is it the Dongcheng family? Or Qin Weibai?
No matter who it is, by the time the people in the game react, it will be too late.
Li's dragon, which had been trapped on the chessboard for more than 20 years, has been completely resurrected silently.
Zhuang Huayang sighed and shook his head, thinking of the phone call with the chief last night.
Before that, he understood the chief's approach, but when he heard the word Tiannan today, he realized that he had to remind the chief of his methods.
If Li Tianlan is not placed on an equal footing in the future, the entire academy will probably truly regret it.
