For everyone, death is something that is beyond control and powerless to resist.
Li Tianlan is not afraid of being in a desperate situation.
But he was really afraid of death.
To him, death was not just endless darkness. He was certain that if he died, the people living around him would probably be worse off than dead.
This was what frightened him to his core.
Face Jiang Qianqian, face Jiang Qiansong, face the black ghost, face the golden pupil.
Li Tianlan is fearless.
Being in a desperate situation does not mean there is no room for struggle.
Being able to struggle means there is infinite hope.
While his twin wind and thunder veins are still intact, his final sword attack can give him the confidence to overturn most situations.
But facing Wang Tianzong was different.
The confrontation in the presidential palace did not last long, but Wang Tianzong's murderous intention meant death for Li Tianlan.
He couldn't resist.
With Wang Tianzong's current state, he didn't even need to use all his strength to make Li Tianlan disappear in an instant.
Li Tianlan is sure of this.
Even if he was intact, even if his twin wind and thunder veins were not damaged, even if he had the final sword with the eternal silence of mountains and rivers as the starting point, he still couldn't withstand Wang Tianzong's murderous intention.
Li Tianlan can now see the end of martial arts.
This is a rare thing.
But it's also a very sad thing.
Because he could see his position clearly and could also see Wang Tianzong who was infinitely close to the finish line, he knew exactly how far he was from Wang Tianzong.
For Li Tianlan, this distance is very long, and the only way to get closer may be time.
But for Wang Tianzong, this distance is very short.
He only needs one sword to not only make the distance between him and Li Tianlan disappear, but also to make Li Tianlan himself disappear.
Therefore, although Li Tianlan had no dislike for Wang Tianzong, he could not say that he liked him.
The Sword Emperor of Central Continent left behind more than just a great reputation in the dark world.
At least for Li Tianlan, whenever Wang Tianzong appears in his sight, it means that his life is being controlled by Wang Tianzong.
This feeling is really bad.
Li Tianlan subconsciously lifted the teapot beside him.
The teapot is very light.
Dongcheng Ru silently poured him a glass of pure water.
Li Tianlan took it and drank it in one gulp, sweating more and more on his body, but as the cool pure water went down his stomach, his whole body became relaxed.
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette and was lost in thought.
On the night of the great change in Ulan Kingdom, he used his sword intention to borrow God's sword energy and had every chance of severely injuring Wang Tianzong.
So he thought Wang Tianzong should thank him and thank him for his reason.
Now, he is also very grateful to Wang Tianzong for his reason.
Li Tianlan took a long puff of cigarette and was silent for a long time.
Wang Tianzong is courageous.
No one dares to doubt this.
If the Sword Emperor didn't have the courage to kill, wouldn't it be a joke?
So there were too many choices in the brief confrontation just now.
He is the marshal of Central Continent and the commander of the Snow Dance Legion.
Wang Tianzong did not dare to kill him.
But I am not absolutely afraid to kill him.
At least based on the current situation, if Wang Tianzong had really killed him with one sword just now, he might not be able to bear the consequences in a short period of time.
Li Tianlan knows his own value, but only those who are alive have value.
With his fall in Eastern Europe, all the expectations placed on him by all the forces will come to nothing.
The academic faction will give up on Li as soon as possible.
The position of the City of Sighs is unknown.
The Dongcheng family may do something, but the entire wealthy group will definitely not fight against the Beihai Wang family.
As for the reason?
Because he is already dead.
In a short period of time, Central Continent needs Wang Tian
With the power of manipulation, the Beihai Wang family will still be as stable as Mount Tai.
It's just that killing the Marshal of Zhongzhou is a felony after all. Such a crime is enough to plant a thorn in the heart of the entire Zhongzhou. This thorn may not have any consequences when Wang Tianzong is alive, but when he gets old or passes away, today
The cause will become the result in the future. A family that dares to openly kill the country's marshal, no matter how deep-rooted it is, will definitely be eliminated.
Therefore, Wang Tianzong is very rational and his vision is long-term.
Now that the confrontation is over, he has imprisoned Wang Tianzong. Thinking about it now, everything seems to make sense, but for Li Tianlan, the scene just now really felt like he was wandering from inside and outside the gate of hell.
Dongcheng Ru chose a new set of clothes for Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took over the brand new military uniform, but didn't move it.
"Shall I put the water in?"
Dongcheng said obediently.
Li Tianlan nodded and shook his head, still in shock, and finally said with a wry smile: "Do you think I am as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"no."
Dongcheng found a wet wipe and gently wiped Li Tianlan's face: "You are afraid of death, I am very happy."
"Everyone is afraid of death. This is not a shameful thing. As long as you live, you can better protect the Dongcheng family in the future. My father once told me that in a high position, bottom line, principles, good and evil, everything can be chosen.
Only life cannot be given up."
Dongcheng Ruzhi's voice was soft. She stared at Li Tianlan's face quietly and said softly: "You were scared this afternoon, right? You were scared when you heard about Carlos."
"yes."
Li Tianlan took a deep breath: "I have thought about it since this afternoon. If I die here, the people around me may end up worse than Carlos. This is something that must be carried on the way up. On this way, I will go to heaven."
The criterion for entering hell is not good or evil, but victory or defeat."
Li Tianlan paused and repeated again: "It's about victory or defeat."
"You will win."
Dongcheng was squatting in front of Li Tianlan, looking up at him, with an unparalleled face.
Li Tianlan subconsciously reached out and touched her face, but his eyes looked in the direction of the next door.
next door.
This is Wang Tianzong's residence.
In the next time, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Tianlan will keep him imprisoned here until the chaos in Eastern Europe ends.
But in a chaotic situation, the most likely thing to happen is an accident.
Li Tianlan frowned.
In a sense, he did something unprecedented in the dark world tonight.
He successfully imprisoned the Sword Emperor of Central Continent.
This humiliation is enough to turn into all-conquering anger.
Li Tianlan didn't know how much Wang Tianzong hated him.
But he knew very well how afraid he was of Wang Tianzong.
This may be the only opponent in this life that I fear from the bottom of my soul.
opponent?
Li Tianlan looked down at the military uniform on his body.
Wearing this military uniform, he is Wang Tianzong's opponent.
Without this military uniform, who are you?
He stood up and stretched his body casually.
The fiery sword intent instantly evaporated all the sweat on his body.
Li Tianlan smiled.
His face was still pale, but there was an indescribable flavor in his smile: "I suddenly found that I hate Wang Tianzong a little."
Dongcheng Ru stood up and took Li Tianlan's hand without saying a word.
Li Tianlan's eyes turned to the window.
His gaze seemed to have crossed the square in front of the Presidential Palace, crossed the nearby blocks, and landed in front of the Caesar Hotel not far away.
The roaring explosion shook the entire city.
The atmosphere of blood and chill was vaguely approaching.
Li Tianlan looked into the distance and said softly: "The matter in Eastern Europe will be over soon."
The chaos in Eastern Europe was his first official appearance on the stage of the dark world.
The timing is perfect.
What's even more perfect is that he seized the opportunity and also improved his status.
But none of this now belongs to him.
Including Snow Dance Corps.
After the chaos in Eastern Europe ended and he returned to China to report on his duties, the fate of the Snow Dance Legion has always been a very sensitive issue in Central Continent.
Therefore, everything he has control of now, except his own force, is all illusion.
And he wants to be real.
His empire is in Tiannan, which is extremely real.
That is what he is most likely to truly hold in his own hands. Even if it is located in a remote area on the frontier, as long as it belongs to him, every inch of the land will look incomparably beautiful and magnificent.
Li Tianlan glanced at Dongcheng and suddenly said: "After returning to China, can I take you to the south?"
"Wherever you go, I will go."
Dongcheng responded seriously.
Li Tianlan smiled, his smile gentle.
"My sister and I will help you."
Dongcheng Ru said in a low voice, she suddenly heard that she had also called Wang Yuetong sister, and Wang Yuetong's current position seemed a bit awkward, but Dongcheng Ru would not take the initiative to bring up this issue, so she calmly corrected it:
"It's Miss Xiaobai."
"Her."
Li Tianlan murmured softly, as if he was sighing.
The chaos in Eastern Europe is becoming more and more obvious now.
He feels more and more the limitations of this era for him.
So he already had a vague understanding of Qin Weibai's ultimate goal.
In today's era, there may be chaos and death because of her, but in the end, who will it be because of?
"That is also a stupid woman."
Li Tianlan said softly.
Dongcheng wrinkled his nose and said nothing.
"When we settle down in Tiannan, I will keep you at home, plant flowers, walk the dog, go shopping, and do whatever you want."
With his limited imagination and understanding of today's upper class society, the so-called life of a wealthy wife he could only imagine was carefree shopping, planting flowers and walking the dog.
Dongcheng shook his head and said softly: "How vulgar."
"But I just like it."
Li Tianlan laughed, and amidst the roaring and huge explosions, his laughter seemed particularly warm.
Dongcheng came slightly closer.
Li Tianlan naturally hugged her in his arms.
There was a knock on the door next door.
Wang Tianzong, who was destined to have no sleep tonight, walked out and looked in the direction of the explosion.
He couldn't see anything, but he stood there for a long time.
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly thought of the instrument Wang Tianzong had thrown to him before.
"Do you know what instrument Wang Tianzong was holding at that time?"
Li Tianlan lowered his head and asked. The two of them were very close. Li Tianlan came over and almost touched Dongcheng Rushi's ear.
Dongcheng Ru's face was as rosy as a flower, and he murmured to himself: "That devil is so ugly."
demon?
demon?!
Li Tianlan suddenly thought of something.
He took out his cell phone.
There was silence on the phone, and he still had not received a call from Prime Minister Rick.
Li Tianlan dialed a number.
The moment he waited for the call to be connected, he was thinking of the extremely mysterious demon army of the Wang family in Beihai that only appeared in legends.
And this legend seems to be about to become a reality tonight.
Li Tianlan also thought of that day in Huating, on the boat on the Huangpu River in the rain, taking the rain from the river to make tea.
That seemed to be the first time he heard definite news about the Demon Legion.
rather than a legend.
So the number he dialed at this time was Jiang Shangyu's number.
