When Li Tianlan walked out of the conference room, he was a prisoner.
One day he was the marshal of Central Continent, and the next day he had become a prisoner of Central Continent.
Things in the world are impermanent, nothing more than this.
Throughout the meeting, Li Tianlan acted very calmly. He frankly admitted that he was the murderer of the Qi family and gave his reasons. Then he did not say a word during the entire meeting.
When the results of the meeting came out, he had no reaction and calmly accepted the 'judgment.'
He will be imprisoned as a prisoner in the most mysterious and terrifying desert prison in Central Continent. His detention has no time limit and will be executed immediately.
Dongcheng Wudi, the director of Zhongzhou and the executive director of the military department, Ye Dongsheng, the deputy minister of the military and deputy minister of the military, and Hua Qingfeng, the leader of the Zhongzhou shadow sect, jointly took charge of this escort mission.
The helicopter had landed on the tarmac at the end of the meeting, and the pilot was ready to go at any time.
Li Tianlan stood in front of the conference room door, looking at the ancient, calm and solemn Yinlonghai in his sight, and was silent for a long time.
He was not surprised by this result.
Southeast, wealthy family, prince, college.
These are the four largest super groups in Central Continent today. When they join forces, the balance of power between them is infinitely close. No one can take advantage of each other. The game between the two sides can only be a game without full preparation.
A stalemate, a stalemate is destined to leave some room. In this way, Zhou Yunhai's plan that does not offend both sides becomes a plan that everyone can reluctantly accept, or in other words, it is a balance.
Li Tianlan was imprisoned in the desert prison, a special task force was established, and Ning Qiancheng was appointed mayor of Xuanyuan City. The series of results was a balance, and both sides left room for each other.
Qi Mulin's treason case is just the beginning. The investigation of the joint task force seems to be huge, but in fact, behind the scenes, it is still the methods of the four major groups. If Qi Mulin is really defined as treason in the end, Li Tianlan's
The charges will be greatly reduced and his freedom will be restored. If it turns out that Qi Mulin's treason is false...
An indefinite detention.
Unless Li Tianlan chooses to treason, break out of the desert prison, and become an enemy of Zhongzhou, the most powerful country in the world, he will either be imprisoned until death, or directly and secretly executed by Zhongzhou.
"I hate this feeling."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, looked at the night sky in the distance, and suddenly said.
The killing of Qi Mulin's family was truly cold-blooded and cruel. Such a move seemed reckless, but Li Tianlan could see some things very clearly. Because he could see clearly, he was so calm.
When the helicopter landed in front of him and was about to fly to the desert, Li Tianlan was still a little irritable.
Because he found that even now, he still cannot control his own destiny. What will happen next for him, he actually has to wait for the final result of the game between the four major groups.
Li Tianlan didn't like this feeling.
Dislike very much.
"If you do something wrong, you will always pay the price."
Li Huacheng stood next to Li Tianlan, his voice calm.
All the congressmen and directors have left. In front of the conference room of the University of Nuovo, there are only two people standing in front of the conference room. Now it is difficult to tell whether they are enemies or friends. The pale and tired president is a little depressed, but he still looks at Li Tianlan.
: "I once heard someone say that freedom does not mean doing whatever you want, but not doing anything you don't want to do. Obviously, you don't understand this truth."
"That so-called freedom is not freedom."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
Li Huacheng smiled: "Tianlan, your method this time is very clever. To a certain extent, you took advantage of the bottom line of the Wang family in Beihai, but if you are wrong, you are wrong."
"It's not about using it. I'm just protecting my own things, that's all."
Li Tianlan said coldly: "Tiannan is mine. There are some rules that cannot be broken."
"You are not yet qualified to directly control the overall situation in Tiannan. Although you are very strong, you are too young, and the East Palace is too young. At least in the eyes of the parliament, such qualifications are not what you should have. You have the right to resist.
, but now, it is the result of resistance, and this result will only get worse and worse. What is the point of your protection?"
Li Huacheng shook his head. His words were extremely straightforward. Throughout the meeting, the academic group took the lead in demanding strict action against Li Tianlan. Today, Li Huacheng and Li Tianlan may not be completely at odds with each other. When their ideas conflict with each other,
However, because this meeting broke out completely and Li Tianlan was sent to the desert prison, no matter what the final result of the game was, the honeymoon period of cooperation between the wealthy group and the academic school could be said to have officially ended.
"So it's still not strong enough."
Li Tianlan smiled.
"If I, standing here today, had reached the level that Wang Tianzong was in Eastern Europe, perhaps this result would not be the same."
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "If you could reach the height of Wang Tianzong, you would not choose to do this. Although the Sword Emperor is strong, his strength is not supported by an invincible sword.
In fact, over the years, the compromise between advancement and retreat of the Beihai Wang family has been the key to their success. Zhongzhou is not one person’s Zhongzhou. Neither you nor Wang Tianzong can violate Zhongzhou’s bottom line. For this reason, Wang Tianzong
I must know better than you."
"Therefore his ways are not my ways."
Li Tianlan's voice was very calm: "He just gave me some inspiration. I have always believed that when a person is strong enough, with one person and one sword, he can defeat the entire world."
"Is this your way?"
Li Huacheng smiled, a little sarcastically.
"how?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"It doesn't sound like much. It's hard-edged and easy to break. Tianlan, you can't do that. Even if you can really defeat the whole world, then the whole world doesn't belong to you."
Li Huacheng said lightly: "I'm not sure what will happen to you in the future, but even if you can get out of the desert prison, with your status in Central Continent, it is impossible to do what you said. I don't understand what happens between people and swords, but people and swords
There is only politics among people. When everyone is talking about balance and compromise, your blindness in being sharp and strong will only kill yourself."
He patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder and chuckled: "The main theme of politics is never struggle, but compromise. I have seen that you are young and energetic, but Tianlan, you are far from being a person now in my eyes."
Mature. If you have time, read more about the history of Central Continent, especially the history of Beihai, you will be very interested."
Li Tianlan lowered his head, thoughtfully.
After a long while, he asked: "Really?"
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes, looked at the helicopter in the distance, and said calmly: "You said that you are the overall situation of Zhongzhou, which actually makes sense. But I cannot accept what you did last night, Comrade Li Tianlan, what you are doing in prison is
For a period of time, I will try my best to achieve the results I want. It doesn't matter whether I succeed or fail. If I lose, you can get out of the desert prison. Only then will you be qualified to say that you are the overall situation of Central Continent."
With a serious expression, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Li Tianlan: "Then...goodbye."
"goodbye."
plum
Tianlan shook hands with him and walked down the steps.
Li Huacheng's last words contained so much meaning that Li Tianlan had no time to think about it.
But in the following period, what he lacks most is time.
He walked towards the helicopter, his steps steady and calm.
Li Huacheng stood behind him, looking at his back expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Li Tianlan was about to leave his sight, his figure suddenly paused.
Li Huacheng raised his eyebrows for a moment.
In the clear night sky, Li Tianlan's voice rang in his ears: "The day I leave the prison, I want to see you at the prison gate."
Li Huacheng did not respond.
Li Tianlan did not wait.
The roar of the helicopter's rotors sounded in the night.
The shining signal light is gradually rising.
Li Tianlan looked down, his whole face full of thoughts.
"Let's take a good rest."
Dongcheng Wudi, who was personally responsible for escorting the felons, spoke slowly, with a tired look on his face: "With this result tonight, the President and Prime Minister are undoubtedly very dissatisfied. This result is not good, but it is still far from their expectations.
It's very far away, and they reluctantly accept it, but we can completely accept it."
"Zhongzhou will not be too calm in the future. His Highness has been in full swing recently, so it is better to restrain himself for the time being. Since Zhongzhou has approved the appointment of Ning Qiancheng, he will maintain his authority when necessary. This point, whether it is
Neither the President nor the Prime Minister will object. They are all people who abide by the rules. Therefore, your unruly behavior makes them so angry. Your Highness does not need to worry about Tiannan's affairs. With Xuanyuan City, the East Palace's
Some people will get into the regular routine as quickly as possible, but when you come out, it may be a different scene."
Ye Dongsheng smiled slightly and said in a calm voice.
Now that the Southeast Group and the wealthy group have stood together, in order to cope with the offensive of the Prince Group and the academic group, the two sides will definitely strengthen cooperation in the future. I am afraid no one would have thought that the Southeast Group, which originally had a huge conflict with Li Tianlan, would choose to fight with him
Join forces, but the academic group, which has been joining forces with wealthy groups, is drifting away from them because of this meeting.
There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. In the general trend, this sentence is almost the most reliable truth.
"As for Tiannan, I have nothing to worry about."
Li Tianlan shook his head. The Burning Legion suffered heavy losses, and Tiandu Purgatory was temporarily unable to take care of him. With the support of the Free Legion, and Ning Qiancheng serving as the mayor of Xuanyuan City, a relatively stable environment in Tiannan would be beneficial to the Eastern Palace.
harmless.
"It's just that..."
Li Tianlan hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, he was thinking not only of Dongcheng Rusu, but also of Wang Yuetong and Qin Weibai.
But Li Tianlan didn't have time to meet everyone.
"So don't worry, your Aunt Bai and I will take good care of her and do our best to make her recover."
Dongcheng Wudi said slowly.
"It would be nice to wake up..."
Li Tianlan murmured to himself, subconsciously took out his mobile phone and dialed Qin Weibai's number, but after thinking about it, he hung up the call that had not yet been answered.
The screen was still on. He had changed his phone several times, but the wallpaper on the screen was still the photo of him and Qin Weibai leaning against each other in the dormitory when he first entered Sky Academy, with his back against the sea outside the window.
