Many people know that Gu Xingyun has a mansion on Dongshan Mountain that exceeds many people's imagination, called Zijin Pavilion, which is also jokingly called the Huating Branch of Kunlun City by the outside world.
There are no branches in Kunlun City. The name does not sound like an official force at all. In fact, it is the highest power center of Central Continent’s special operations agency, the special operations headquarters in each major region of Central Continent, and the special operations bureaus of each province. There is no clear scope of responsibilities, but
The various special service agencies that have always played their own roles can be regarded as departments directly under Kunlun City, so Kunlun City does not need so-called branches. If we really want to talk about branches, it is the Huating Special Operations Bureau.
However, it is well known that Gu Xingyun prefers the Zijin Pavilion. The Zijin Pavilion is located halfway up the Dongshan Mountain and covers an area of nearly three hundred acres. Inside, there are only a dozen or so villas written by famous people scattered around the edges, guarding the center.
The six-story purple gold pavilion is a standard blessed place for hiding wind, water and gathering energy from the perspective of Feng Shui. It has clear layers and is completely natural. In addition to the artificial layout of stars over the moon, there is a vague function here.
Enjoy the meaning of winter mountain luck.
Gu Xingyun believed in fate, so whenever he came to Huating, he would stay in the Zijin Pavilion. He even held many meetings for the Southeast Special Operations Agency and issued orders. If he was in Huating, he would also set the meeting venue here.
This place is different from the turbulent Youzhou, and different from the snow-filled Kunlun. Standing here and looking at Huating, there is only infinite openness.
Therefore, Gu Xingyun has always regarded Zijin Pavilion as his blessed place.
When he returned to Zijin Pavilion from Sky Academy, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Sky Academy held a dinner that was not serious but not relaxed either. After the fun, Gu Xingyun returned directly to Zijin Pavilion.
Li Qingcheng was sitting in the hall playing chess with herself.
The soft crystal lamp in the hall is lit. Under the light, the girl staring intently at the chessboard is poetic and picturesque.
Her beauty is like a spring rain.
Not violent, not abrupt, natural, elegant and delicate, often imprinted in the depths of people's souls without making a sound.
Seeing Gu Xingyun come in, Li Qingcheng raised her head, subconsciously stood up and called: "Dad."
"Make two cups of tea."
Gu Xingyun gave the instructions calmly and sat down on the sofa casually.
Li Qingcheng nodded meekly, turned and left.
Gu Qianchuan sat opposite Gu Xingyun, lowered his head and glanced at the chess game that Li Qingcheng was playing for fun, and said with a smile: "Qingcheng is quite smart. In the next few years, you can work on it carefully when you are recovering. In a few years, you may not be able to
It is worse than today's Song poetry, and it should have great potential in the future."
Gu Xingyun was also looking at the chess game in front of him, but his mind was completely elsewhere.
Kunlun City does not have the almost luxurious and endless resources of the Beihai Wang family, so everyone in Kunlun City is working hard to enhance their own strength, and Li Qingcheng is not as favored as Wang Yuetong is in the Beihai Wang family, so
She has practiced martial arts very hard. Now she is just twenty years old and has entered the stable stage of the Burning Fire Realm. She has a solid foundation. With her talent, although she does not have the Heart of the Heavenly King with the Twin Meridians of Wind and Thunder, if she cultivates it carefully, within three or four years,
There is still a chance to enter the Thunder Realm.
A twenty-four or five-year-old master of the Thunder Realm, she is still a young and stunning woman. With such a grace, if not unparalleled, at least she is rare.
"we'll see."
Gu Xingyun thought for a while and said in a neutral tone.
"It would be a shame to waste such qualifications."
Gu Qianchuan persisted intentionally or unintentionally, and did not hesitate to comment on Li Qingcheng.
Gu Xingyun lowered his head, his eyes a little complicated.
Seeing such an outstanding daughter, there was no joy in his eyes, but only complexity.
This is the daughter he and Li Xi gave birth to.
Gu Xingyun was convinced that this was his biological daughter.
But he didn't like it at all.
Every time he sees their mother and daughter, Gu Xingyun always thinks of some old things that he doesn't want to think of at all.
"You don't like her?"
Gu Qianchuan asked a nonsense question.
Gu Xingyun glanced at him and said nothing.
Gu Qianchuan smiled and said softly: "If you really don't like her, why not leave her in Huating, Zijin Pavilion, or give her to Qingcheng as a dowry, that's fine."
"What's the meaning?"
Gu Xingyun stretched out his hand to arrange the chessboard, his tone became colder, but it was not directed at Gu Qianchuan.
Gu Qianchuan is also sorting out the chessboard.
He clearly held the white chess piece, but he violated the rules and placed a piece on the chessboard first. He said calmly: "Whatever you want is what you mean. There was Lixi back then, why can't we have Qingcheng today? Our Phoenix Pavilion,
Isn't it just for Qingcheng? Why are you hesitating?"
He chuckled lightly, played with the chess pieces in his hand, and continued: "History will repeat itself, and old things will reincarnate. Throughout history, there are many examples of women losing their country. Who can say clearly that our Kunlun City will be what it is today?
Is it because of the sword or because of the woman?"
"Snapped!"
Gu Xingyun expressionlessly crushed a few chess pieces in his hand, his expression cold.
Gu Qianchuan smiled. His relationship with Gu Xingyun had never been harmonious, and he naturally didn't bother to take his feelings into account when speaking. Moreover, Gu Xingyun was seriously injured, so he was not afraid that the other party would suddenly take action.
The pieces of the chess piece slipped from Gu Xingyun's hand.
Gu Qianchuan said calmly: "Just think of it as you letting me look at you."
Gu Xingyun took a deep breath, fell slowly, and said indifferently: "What's the use of Qingcheng staying in Huating? Li Tianlan?"
"Li Tianlan will not survive this exercise."
Gu Qianchuan shook his head: "We don't need to waste resources on him. He is indeed amazing. Under normal circumstances, Qingcheng is the most suitable by his side. But now that the trend has become a reality, he is just an ant that will be crushed by the trend soon.
.If I really want Qingcheng to get close to him, I will not let Qingcheng stay in Huating, but go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Guandong."
He raised his head, looked at the thoughtful Gu Xingyun, and said with a smile: "Huating is of great significance to the Wang family in Beihai."
Beihai Wang family...
Beihai Wang family!
Gu Xingyun raised his eyelids.
"Wang Shengxiao?"
"Wang Shengxiao."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was silent and somewhat depressing.
Gu Xingyun seemed to be hesitating or thinking. After a long time, he paused and said slowly: "It's not suitable now. I'll wait a few years."
Gu Qianchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding what Gu Xingyun meant for a while. He thought for a while, then his expression changed and he said slowly: "You don't think highly of Wang Tianzong and Wang Shengxiao?"
This time in a few years is very delicate, and it suddenly reminded him of a lot.
Before Gu Xingyun could speak, Gu Qianchuan had already said quickly: "Is it because of Wang Qinglei? The internal problems of the Wang family in Beihai have been exposed more and more in recent years. A large part of the reason is because of Wang Qinglei. Wang Qinglei will indeed have a chance in the next term.
Yes, even if the Southeast Group knows something, it is still riding a tiger and can only forcefully push Wang Qinglei. Even Wang Tianzong does not dare to make fun of the foundation of the Southeast Group, but..."
He hesitated and finally said: "But even if Wang Qinglei reaches that position, will Wang Tianzong lose?"
"Who knows?"
Gu Xingyun said calmly: "At present, the Wang family in Beihai has only exposed some problems, but the sharpest confrontation has not yet formed. Things have just begun to appear. Who can see clearly? In three years, everything will probably be
It will become clear."
Gu Qianchuan remained silent.
In recent years, the Wang family in Beihai still seems to be in a state of rage, but some accumulated internal conflicts are showing signs of getting out of control. The biggest reason is naturally Wang Qinglei.
Wang Qinglei is now one of the members of the Zhongzhou Decision-making Bureau and the top leader of Wuyue Province.
In the early years, he was the governor of Wuyue Province. After it was confirmed that he would serve as the top leader and enter the decision-making bureau, certain contradictions gradually began to surface.
But I don’t know whether Wang Tianzong was too confident, or the Southeast Group trusted Wang Tianzong too much, or their own resources were a little tight. When these signs appeared, the Southeast Group didn’t take it seriously at all and continued to push Wang Qinglei into the decision-making bureau.
.
In the big change three years later, it is almost certain that Wang Qinglei will take a step forward. He is not very young, and he can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If he is determined to accumulate a lot, he will enter from Wuyue even if he does not move up a level.
The central problem is not big either.
At that time, the two giants of the Southeast Group who have a close relationship with Wang Tianzong will step down. If Wang Qinglei goes further, he will become the new banner of the Southeast Group.
And he is also a very high-ranking banner figure.
No matter how much the Southeast Group dislikes Wang Qinglei, he cannot be replaced casually in that position. Even if they bite the bullet, for the sake of the foundation of the group, they can only choose to support Wang Qinglei.
At that time, the real game between the powerful Wang Tianzong and the powerful Wang Qinglei begins.
One controls the Beihai Province, and the other controls the Southeast Group.
It was a game of power and force.
Only then can we have a glimpse of what the Beihai Wang family will eventually achieve.
Gu Xingyun doesn't let Li Qingcheng get close to Wang Shengxiao now, not because he doesn't think highly of Wang Tianzong and his son, but because he doesn't know what Wang Tianzong will do in the past three years. It's definitely not a good thing to get involved when everything is confusing.
"The internal problems of the Wang family in Beihai are one aspect."
Gu Xingyun said: "On the other hand, I am injured and Qingcheng must be by my side. You leave her alone in Huating? You are really bold. If Qingcheng is not under control, aren't you afraid that the woman will go crazy?
Kill you?"
Gu Qianchuan's expression changed, and he smiled unabashedly.
...
When Gu Qianchuan smiled bitterly.
The top of Winter Mountain.
Under the starry sky, Li Tianlan, who had been sitting here looking at the scenery for a long time, also hung up the phone in his hand.
"It's certain."
Li Tianlan said softly: "The convoy that just entered is Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan."
"Have you really decided?"
Lin Youxian sat next to Li Tianlan. Even though he knew Li Tianlan's purpose, it was still a bit strange.
"This is not a decision."
Li Tianlan smiled and said: "I told Gu Xingyun that the matter last time would not be settled like this. I don't know if he listened."
The corner of Lin Youxian's mouth twitched and he said with difficulty: "I don't think he would have thought that you would be here now."
"I didn't expect it myself."
Li Tianlan laughed and said softly: "Since I came back to now, many people have asked me how strong I am now..."
"It's hard for me to answer this question...."
Li Tianlan chuckled and said, "Because I don't know myself... Tonight is an opportunity to see how strong I am, so I might as well give it a try."
He pointed down the mountain.
The purple-gold pavilion at the foot of the mountain is dimly lit.
"I gonna go see."
he said.
Lin Youxian didn't speak or stop him.
Li Tianlan walked slowly down the mountain alone.
He was dressed in white and his bare feet were on the ground.
Behind him is the starry scenery of the entire winter mountain.
In the darkness of the night, the white-clothed man marched straight ahead.
In Lin Youxian's sight, Li Tianlan's figure became more and more unreal, but his steps became more powerful.
The top of Winter Mountain is full of stars.
Lin Youxian watched quietly, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.
Under the starlight on the top of the mountain, Li Tianlan's figure became completely ethereal in his sight.
His whole body seemed to be completely integrated into the starlight, as if he had completely disappeared, and yet he seemed to be everywhere.
Between reality and illusion, only his steps remained firm and gentle.
