In the silent ward, amid the crisp sound, the cell phone with the screen on was slipped from Li Tianlan's hand and fell to the ground.
Li Tianlan's mind went blank.
Penetrating Beihai, killing Di Que, and defeating Di Jiang, he became increasingly powerful and seemed to suddenly lose all his strength at this moment.
His body swayed and he took two steps back, and with a dull sound, his back hit the wall.
No one knows what Li Honghe means to Li Tianlan.
It is a mountain that does not fall, a giant pillar holding up the sky, a blazing sun, and a light in the darkness.
Infancy, childhood, youth.
During the most painful and tiring but also the most peaceful time in his life, Li Honghe was always by his side.
They were in the military camp that represented the lowest point of the Li family, in the primeval forest where there was only hot weather all year round and there was not much sunlight, and in front of the cemetery where countless victims of the Li family were buried, Li Honghe
He pointed out a road, steep, dangerous, full of thorns, but it was the only way.
At that time, Li Tianlan could not see the end of that road.
Now Li Tianlan can't see the end of that road either.
But Li Tianlan didn't even think about it and kept rushing down that road.
Blood and death, crisis and temptation, conspiracy and trap, life, death and parting.
Faced with everything, Li Tianlan never flinched because he knew very well that no matter what, behind him, Li Honghe was watching him.
Now he is still sprinting on this road.
When all the thorns and mud were left behind him, the figure that was also watching him from behind finally fell.
The person he cares about the most, the person he respects the most, and the person he admires the most.
For many years, even if his figure was no longer upright, even if his spirit gradually declined, even if his eyes became older, Li Tianlan never thought that he would fall.
And now.
When the road ahead of him became flat, wide, and full of sunshine and light, and he was about to sprint, Zou Yuanshan called and told him that his grandfather was dying.
What does it mean? How can it not work?
Li Tianlan's mind was in confusion. He shook his head hard and tried to stand upright to pick up the phone, but as soon as he took a step forward, he fell down again.
There were no lights on in the ward, and the phone screen that was still on was flickering with a faint light.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth moved.
"puff."
A mouthful of blood spurted out directly from his mouth.
He struggled to grab the phone and put it to his ear again.
"Tianlan? Tianlan?"
On the phone, Zou Yuanshan's voice was still ringing.
Li Tianlan hummed.
His voice was extremely steady, but the hand holding the phone kept shaking, and his eyes were blank.
"Come back first."
Zou Yuanshan whispered: "The old man has been in a coma for several days. His condition is very bad. I would like to seek your opinion. If you have no other requests, I have already planned to notify the Central Continent Council."
"parliament?"
Li Tianlan murmured to himself and repeated.
"This is not just your family matter."
Zou Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said complexly: "Mr. Li's life and death are state affairs."
This is indeed a state matter.
After all, Li Honghe was the patron saint of Zhongzhou. Even though he had been standing in the darkness that most people could not see, no one dared to deny his achievements.
His fall may not appear on the Central Continent News Network like other giants, and everyone will know it, but in fact, the treatment he receives is no less than that of anyone else.
News about Li Honghe has been tightly sealed.
But seeing everything come to an end, the blockade has no meaning anymore.
Among the nine directors of the Central Continent Council, one director is currently visiting Europe, and the other will visit Africa in a few days. These things must stop, and the directors who are abroad must also return early. This is the moment of this era.
At the end, combined with Li Tianlan's current momentum, the nine directors of Zhongzhou all have reasons for being there.
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time.
He supported Kuangtu Li's hospital bed and stood up, saying hoarsely: "I'll pass right now."
Zou Yuanshan hummed: "I arranged a special plane at the No. 6 Air Force Base."
Li Tianlan hummed and hung up the phone.
The confusion and emptiness caused by the sudden bad news gradually became clearer and weaker.
Li Tianlan kept a tight expression, but his eyes turned red involuntarily.
Li Kuangtu looked at him for a long time.
"Grandpa is leaving."
He glanced at Kuangtu Li and forced himself to speak calmly.
In the hazy moonlight, Kuangtu Li's expression seemed to freeze on his face.
Everything in the room became solid.
I don't know how long it took before Li Kuangtu said with some difficulty: "Where are you going?"
Li Tianlan did not answer this unanswerable question. He glanced at Li Kuangtu and said, "Get ready."
"Where to go?"
Li Kuangtu asked again.
Li Tianlan frowned, but at this time, he was no longer in the mood to confront his opponent.
"I'll stay here."
Li Kuangtu's eyes returned to indifference.
He and Li Tianlan are not father and son.
But Li Honghe and he were father and son.
But whether he was treating Li Tianlan or Li Honghe, Li Kuangtu showed only indifference.
Li Tianlan raised his palm.
Countless sword intentions appeared in the ward, entangling Li Kuangtu's body layer by layer.
Li Kuangtu's body remained stiff in its original position, unable to move at all.
"It's not up to you."
He whispered: "You must go to Lin'an with me."
The sword intent in the room became more and more dense, wrapping around Li Kuangtu's body layer after layer.
Kuangtu Li's figure became blurred and dim in the endless sword intent, and was finally completely hidden by the sword intent.
Li Tianlan turned around and went out, took out his cell phone, and dialed Qin Weibai's number.
The call was answered quickly.
Qin Weibai's soft voice rang: "Are you back?"
"I am at the hospital."
Li Tianlan's voice was dry: "Get ready, let's go to Lin'an."
Qin Weibai was silent for a moment. She seemed to know what happened and responded obediently: "Are the saints going?"
"He should go back to the southwest."
Li Tianlan said softly.
As Wei Kunlun, even if he goes to Lin'an, he is going to represent Shushan.
"knew."
Qin Weibai said: "I'm going out right now."
Li Tianlan silently put down his cell phone and walked out of the hospital.
Li Kuangtu, who was bound by layers of sword intent, was suspended in the air, almost fixed above Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
The moonlight in the sky was clear and cold, but Li Kuangtu's eyes remained cold and unwavering.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt a little lonely.
At this moment when the news of Li Honghe's imminent death was regarded as a national event in the land of Central Continent, Li Tianlan truly realized that from now on, the Li family, the Li family that belonged to him, was really the only one left.
