Ning Zhiyuan finally accepted Li Tianlan's choice.
The dark night is about to usher in the dawn. Countless troops are gathering in the oppressive and fortified city of Ningbian. Amid the fighting spirit, Ning Zhiyuan stands in front of the window, silently looking into the dark sky. The helicopter signal lights are dimly visible in the distance.
It flickers, becomes blurry, and then disappears.
Li Tianlan's plane has completely flown over the cordon currently controlled by the Freedom Corps.
Ning Zhiyuan remained silent.
As a famous general in Central Continent who was single-handedly promoted by Li Honghe, his relationship with Li Kuangtu was not close at that time. When he rose to prominence, Li Honghe had already discovered Li Kuangtu's ambition for the Wang family in Beihai. The most delicate part of the father-son relationship is
Over time, Ning Zhiyuan worked his way up under the promotion of Li Honghe. It was precisely for this reason that when Li Honghe took the Li family to the border, he took over the Beihai Wang family because he did not have a close relationship with Li Kuangtu.
It was an olive branch that was extended to me, so I wasn’t too implicated.
However, although he has never been implicated, after many years of struggling in the military circles of Central Continent, his journey is actually far from smooth. The Wang family of Beihai still has concerns about him. In terms of appointment, many important positions are not given.
He will be considered. In the Eastern War Zone, he held the position of chief of staff for nearly ten years. His rise to the position was entirely dependent on Wu Zhengmin in Jiangsu and Zhejiang gathering some old people to work hard within the Southeast Group, and then he reluctantly took him.
He reached the position of commander of the Eastern Theater Command.
But this top leader was not very strong in what he did. He almost broke up with his biological son Ning Qiancheng, so when Li Tianlan first came into the world, he and Ning Qiancheng killed Tan Xilai, which triggered the revenge of Tan Qinghua, the second-in-command in the Eastern Theater Command.
..
Ultimately, the reason for all this is because he, the top leader, did not receive much support from the Southeast Group, so he always felt a little lack of confidence.
The Wang family in Beihai has never trusted him enough, so now that he has left the Southeast Group, he has no special feelings. Ning Zhiyuan does not think that he has betrayed the Southeast Group. He has always been loyal to the Li family. When Li Honghe left for the border, he
So it was Li Honghe's intention not to follow him.
The Li family was dormant at the border.
He is dormant in the Southeast Group, with an identity that the Wang family of Beihai still does not know.
These are the seven hidden gems that Li Honghe left in Zhongzhou back then. They are not many, but they played a vital role at certain times.
Tianji died on the East Island in order to save Li Tianlan in the decisive battle in Tiandu.
Before he died, he was the dusk shadow of the City of Sighs.
It seems a bit inconspicuous, but no one knows what Dusk Shadow did before joining the City of Sighs.
Ning Zhiyuan has always been in contact with Tianquan. Apart from Tianquan, he doesn't even know who the other people are. Among the seven, Yaoguang ranks last. He has not had an easy life these years, but in
Among the seven, he is the one with the least pressure.
But Ning Zhiyuan knew very well that some things ultimately require someone to dedicate and sacrifice. He didn't know what he would pay, but he was fully mentally prepared.
Going from the Eastern Theater to Tiannan was his sacrifice. To a certain extent, not beating him to the end was considered a compromise by the Beihai Wang family.
And from Tiannan to the East Palace, it was Ning Zhiyuan's accomplishment.
This was the gift Li Honghe planned to give to Li Tianlan, and it was also the foundation for the future of the Li family.
Therefore, even if the war in which the five major forces united with Annan to invade the border did not break out more than three years ago, according to Li Honghe's plan, another war would break out.
The Free Legion, the Bloody Legion, and Tiandu Purgatory are all concentrated in Tiannan.
So Li Tianlan's path is already clear.
The East Palace will receive the full support of the Free Corps, and will integrate itself into the East Palace during its development. Then there will be a civil war. Many forces loyal to Li Honghe and Li Tianlan in Tiandu Purgatory will also join the East Palace. This is the Li family's
In a civil war, Li Honghe was confident enough to allow Li Tianlan to win. The East Palace, which had absorbed the Free Corps and Tiandu Purgatory, needed elites and elites, and masters and masters. This was the real complete body.
The Eastern Palace will dominate Tiannan, and with the full support of the Bloody Legion and the Southwest Special Operations Headquarters, it will radiate throughout Central Continent and reach its peak again.
This process is extremely smooth. Even if there are bumps, it avoids accidents to the greatest extent.
But what no one expected was that just after Li Honghe left, the Burning Legion would become the biggest surprise.
The Burning Legion's attack disrupted Lee's plans.
But Li Tianlan's subsequent response was also crazy enough.
The existence of Lamiron is likely to become an obstacle for Li Tianlan to dominate Tiannan, but it may also greatly shorten this process.
The key is today's battle.
As long as it takes advantage of Tunan City's armaments, the Eastern Palace will become one of the top forces in Tiannan as quickly as possible.
As for the manpower problem, this is a problem that Ning Zhiyuan can solve, and it is not a problem that he is worried about.
But now, just for tonight's battle, Li Tianlan's available manpower is still too few.
Ning Zhiyuan was a little worried and hesitant.
He stood in front of the window for a long time and took out his cell phone several times, but in the end he did not dial.
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Ning Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
The door was pushed open hastily, and a middle-aged man with the rank of the Freedom Corps on his shoulder strode in and said loudly: "Legion Commander, our soldiers have been assembled and can counterattack at any time!"
This is a middle-aged man with an extremely rough appearance that can even be said to be arrogant. He has a powerful figure, a ferocious appearance, and a bald head. As he opens his mouth, an astonishing fighting spirit and murderous aura constantly gather on him.
.
First Deputy Commander of the Free Corps.
Wang Zhaojian.
This is Di Jiangzhi
His right-hand man when he was in charge of the Freedom Corps, he was the cousin of Wang Zhaoliang, the commander of the Shadow Assassination Force. As Ning Zhiyuan changed sides and joined the Freedom Corps, Wang Zhaojian became the most powerful person to check and balance Ning Zhiyuan.
It seems that no matter where you are the leader, it is never easy. There are always strong deputies holding you back.
Ning Zhiyuan thought mockingly to himself, but said in a neutral tone: "Don't be in a hurry, just wait a moment."
"What are you waiting for?"
Wang Zhaojian was a little stunned: "At this time, the Burning Legion has just captured Tunan City. The entire army is in a period of exhaustion. Our momentum is at its strongest, and it is a good time to counterattack."
"I said wait."
Ning Zhiyuan said calmly, his voice was not serious, but it carried irresistible majesty.
"I don't think there's any need to wait any longer, Legion Commander. I can be the vanguard! Give those bastards of the Burning Legion a hard time first."
Wang Zhaojian held his neck and said loudly.
Ning Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You want to violate military orders?"
Wang Zhaojian paused and gritted his teeth: "Legion Commander, His Highness Li Tianlan just flew over our heads, we must give him support."
"Wait a minute, this is what His Highness means too."
A sneer flashed in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes: "His Highness wants to take Tunan City by himself. He won't appreciate it if you go over at this time."
"Take over Tunan City by yourself? He's crazy..."
Wang Zhaojian's exclamation suddenly paused.
He can be called the second-in-command of the Freedom Corps. He is naturally not a fool. Not everyone who looks like a fool is a fool. He understood Li Tianlan's intention in an instant: "Take Tunan City by myself! Damn it, the East Palace wants to
Want to monopolize the armaments of our Freedom Corps?!"
His eyes condensed instantly.
"It's not as serious as you said. His Highness just wants to show strength. As for armaments...what difference does it make if it is in the hands of the Free Corps or the Eastern Palace? Zhongzhou will give us a reasonable deal by then.
way."
Ning Zhiyuan said calmly.
"I do not believe!"
Wang Zhaojian roared and sneered: "Legion Commander, we are not fools. Those armaments fell into Li Tianlan's hands, do you really think he will return them?"
"I don't speculate on things that haven't happened."
Ning Zhiyuan said flatly.
Wang Zhaojian was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I understand, legion commander."
He waved his hand, closed the door of the office, looked into Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, and said word by word: "You want to give this batch of armaments to the Eastern Palace!"
He was eager to counterattack in order to capture Tunan City as quickly as possible and seize Tunan and the armaments. However, he did not take into account Li Tianlan's idea of monopolizing it. Now Ning Zhiyuan's attitude is clear.
The purpose is to give that batch of armaments to Li Tianlan, which is enough weapons and equipment to arm 20,000 people. For Ning Zhiyuan, this may be a good thing, but for the Beihai Wang family, this is a disaster.
"I never agree!"
Wang Zhaojian's voice was extremely cold. He was the deputy commander of the Free Corps. If Li Tianlan ate this batch of armaments in front of him, God knows how many points he would lose in the Southeast Group.
"You are slandering."
Ning Zhiyuan's voice is hilarious.
"slander?!"
Wang Zhaojian laughed: "Isn't this a fact? Well, even if it's not, it will be soon. When that batch of armaments falls into the hands of the East Palace, it means that the Free Corps has lost nearly half of its military weapons. When we do
How to explain to Zhongzhou? How to explain to the military? Not just you, all of us will be punished by then. As the commander of the army, you will even..."
His voice paused, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"What will happen to me?"
Ning Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
His voice remained calm and calm.
Wang Zhaojian finally smelled Ning Zhiyuan's true emotions from this peace and calmness.
Be confident!
At this moment, Ning Zhiyuan was truly confident.
Wang Zhaojian wanted to say that Zhongzhou might punish Ning Zhiyuan for this, or even remove him from the position of army commander. Even if some people would disagree, the Prince Group, the Southeast Group, and the Special Operations Group have the same interests in this regard, and they will definitely reach a consensus by then.
Neither academics nor wealthy groups can stop him.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
Remove Ning Zhiyuan?
Li Huacheng and Dongcheng Wudi are indeed unstoppable.
They won't even block it.
The question is, after these armaments are removed from Ning Zhiyuan, who will take over?
In other words, who dares to step up?!
At least Wang Zhaojian didn't dare.
He really didn't dare.
Ning Zhiyuan lost his position because of Li Tianlan, and whoever takes over will be directly targeted by Li Tianlan.
Not even just for.
Li Tianlan...
In the more than three years since he joined the WTO, there have been various comments about Li Tianlan, but no one has ever said that Li Tianlan is a good-tempered person.
This is again in Tiannan, Tiandu Purgatory, Annan, the Burning Legion, the Free Forces... and the situation is so delicate. If Li Tianlan is hostile to the new legion commander...
Wang Zhaoliang thought for a moment. He was sure that if Ning Zhiyuan was removed from his post and he took the position of army commander, Li Tianlan would definitely react immediately. By then, he would not even survive the day he took office and he might be killed by Li Tianlan's sword.
Chop into pieces.
When the time comes, just find someone to blame.
He can think of this, how can others not think of it?
The commander of the Freedom Corps is a good position, but now it seems that whether it is the Southeast Group, the Special Operations Group, or the Prince Group, they are simply seeking death by sending people to pick this peach.
If they don't send people, they won't be able to get the Freedom Corps, and there's no point in removing Ning Zhiyuan.
So Ning Zhiyuan is not afraid of this at all.
"I..."
Wang Zhaojian gritted his teeth: "I want to communicate with the military!"
In this case, communicating with the military department was equivalent to complaining about Ning Zhiyuan.
Ning Zhiyuan nodded and said indifferently: "Whatever."
Both of them knew that such complaints were just a step up.
Wang Zhaojian got off the donkey at Shunpo.
Dongcheng Wudi is now in charge of the military department. He has the right to complain, but he has no power to decide. When the time comes, Dongcheng Wudi will communicate with Ning Zhiyuan. Whatever reason Ning Zhiyuan comes up with, Dongcheng Wudi will think it makes sense.
Others in the military may not think so.
That's okay, let's just have a meeting.
How long this meeting will last is entirely up to Dongcheng Wudi. Anyone with different opinions can discuss it slowly and in detail, then demonstrate their opinions and prepare manpower. If Wang Zhaojian can't hold back during this process, let's not talk about him first.
Could he go beyond Ning Zhiyuan to mobilize the Freedom Corps? Even if he could, such an action would be enough for Ning Zhiyuan to define him as a traitor who violated the orders of the military.
Li Tianlan was also happy to send the traitor's head to Imperial Soldier Mountain.
So Ning Zhiyuan didn't bother to appease Wang Zhaojian. If nothing unexpected happened, this rather powerful deputy commander would probably be transferred away after this battle as long as he didn't want to die. Therefore, there was no point in appeasing him. He waved his hand.
He said slowly: "If nothing happens, go ahead and do some research. I'll do some research."
Wang Zhaojian gritted his teeth, snorted fiercely, turned around, strode away, and slammed the door.
Ning Zhiyuan walked back to the bed and looked in the direction of Tunan City.
The helicopter's signal light in the night sky has completely disappeared.
There was only darkness in front of him.
Tunan City is neither expected nor within reach.
...
The night is slowly receding.
The plane is still moving forward.
Li Tianlan sat quietly in the cabin, looking at Tunan City, which was still shining with lights in the hazy night, as quiet as a shadow floating in the cabin.
Tunan City is getting closer.
Countless lights were shining in front of my eyes.
"Your Highness, we are about to enter the Burning Legion's cordon."
The co-pilot of the helicopter turned around and reported loudly.
Li Tianlan looked at the time.
At this time, it is unlikely that Li Baitian, Eagle King, or the old man of the Li family will approach the base.
If the base is not restrained and the cordon entering Tunan City is breached, the helicopter may be greeted by endless artillery fire and even missiles.
So the helicopter must be fast.
It is best to fly through the airspace of Tunan City before the base in Tunan City reacts.
The only advantage may be that the Burning Legion has just occupied Tunan City. This time is probably only enough time for them to clean up the battle damage, and they don't even have time to get familiar with the far superior armament of the Free Legion.
Li Tianlan nodded and stood up.
Endless sword energy slowly swirled around him, boiling instantly.
"Accelerate, rise."
Li Tianlan said slowly: "Get ready to return."
The helicopter has completed its mission by sending him here.
He doesn't need a response or a so-called escape route.
There was never a way out of his plan.
The enemy is ahead.
Kill it.
This is the only way.
The roaring helicopter directly accelerated its speed and began to fly higher and higher in the sky.
The signal light is completely off.
The helicopter headed straight towards Tunan City with a huge shadow.
Li Tianlan opened the hatch.
The wind howled.
Countless sword intentions boiled around him.
The co-pilot of the helicopter looked at Li Tianlan nervously.
In his sight, Li Tianlan changed.
Became not his person.
An extremely deep darkness shrouded his entire body, and the darkness slowly floated around him, like the vast night covering his body with a light veil.
A simple but extremely gorgeous black long trench coat appeared on him.
As if it was tailor-made for him, the black windbreaker fit perfectly, with cuffs, collar, waist, and hem that reached past his knees...
The extremely delicate black flutters with the strong wind.
Wisps of golden light shimmered slightly on the windbreaker.
The windbreaker danced wildly in the air.
Li Tianlan's figure remained motionless.
The helicopter flew high above Tunan City.
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked down, condescending.
The next moment, a steady and majestic voice suddenly shook the heaven and earth, majestic and majestic.
"Lamiren! Come out and die!!!"
The long night is coming to an end.
Li Tianlan stretched out his hand.
Silently, the boiling sword intent spread across the night sky, and the first ray of morning light seemed to bloom in his hands.
The helicopter rushed over quickly.
In the opened hatch, Li Tianlan didn't pause at all, and with the first ray of light in his hand, he rushed directly towards the shining lights of Tunan.
Light!
The extremely bright light burst out in the sky in an instant, like a shooting star.
The turbulent light directly tore through the night sky of Tunan City in the most arrogant manner. It was swift, domineering, and arrogant, just like a dream.
The God of War descends!
The sword light completely covered the world with Li Tianlan as the center.
The night has been completely torn apart by the sword light.
The lights all over the city were extremely dim under the reflection of the sword light.
Li Tianlan's figure was falling faster and faster.
Only the light of the sword kept flying, tearing apart everything.
