When the sky was just getting light, Wang Shengxiao, who had been meditating all night, also opened his eyes.
He came uninvited and stayed in jail for a night as a matter of course. At dinner last night, a prison guard brought him some food, four dishes and one soup, which was good or bad. Then no one paid attention to this Beihai Wang family anymore.
The new patriarch.
No one arranged a room for him.
The lounge became his guest room.
Wang Shengxiao was calm and didn't seem to feel the slightest shame of being left out.
He just waited quietly, waiting for Li Tianlan to receive him.
The master of the East Palace and the head of the Beihai Wang clan.
The quality of the two identities is no longer important here.
The important thing is that Wang Shengxiao wants to ask Li Tianlan, so he must lower his profile. Wang Shengxiao was already mentally prepared on the way here.
At breakfast, the prison guard brought a prison-standard breakfast.
Peace of mind as he came, Wang Shengxiao ate some, then closed his eyes to rest, ready for the next negotiation.
The morning passed by in a hurry.
During lunch, Xiao Mohai, the warden of Desert Prison, finally came to the door of the lounge. His smile was calm and polite: "Mr. Wang, His Highness invites you to come over and have lunch."
"good."
Wang Shengxiao smiled and politely said thank you to Xiao Mohai.
Xiao Mohai turned around and led the way.
Li Tianlan had a very exquisite restaurant in the prison, which did not have much free space. It was not far from the dormitory. When approaching the restaurant, Wang Shengxiao saw Xiao Qing and several prison guards who were busy, making extremely exquisite pictures one by one.
The dishes were brought into the restaurant, and a plump and graceful young woman came over holding an unopened bottle of good wine.
Wang Shengxiao glanced at Xiao Mohai, suddenly felt a little emotional, and chuckled: "I didn't expect that the general would find the most suitable path for himself when he came here. When the palace master leaves the prison in the future, whether he takes you with him or sends you somewhere else, general
From now on, he can be said to be a high-ranking official, and I would like to congratulate the general in advance."
Xiao Mohai smiled calmly and said without any fluctuations in his tone: "I just listen to His Highness's arrangements. It doesn't matter if I stay here for a few more years."
Wang Shengxiao glanced at him, nodded, and opened the restaurant door.
Li Tianlan sat at the main seat facing the door, facing a table full of dishes, and kept eating without waiting for Wang Shengxiao to take the table.
Everything looks unstructured and casual.
Wang Shengxiao remained calm, but his eyes had become extremely solemn.
"sit."
Li Tianlan waved his hand casually and ate.
He eats very quickly, but it does not ruin his image. He is not the kind of wolf who wants to eat everything in one bite, but a kind of rapidity, which can even be said to be a unique sense of rhythm, rapid, precise and meticulous.
.
Wang Shengxiao sat down opposite him, looked at him, and said nothing for a while.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Tianlan was eating, but his voice was still clear and steady.
Wang Shengxiao seemed not to have expected that the carefully prepared negotiations would turn out like this. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I hope Beihai can reach a comprehensive strategic cooperation with the Eastern Palace."
"reason."
Li Tianlan asked.
"I already told Patriarch Qin yesterday about the reason."
Wang Shengxiao paused.
In fact, when he walked into the restaurant and didn't see Qin Weibai, his heart sank slightly.
Li Tianlan said nothing.
Wang Shengxiao continued: "The current development model of the East Palace has certain similarities with that of Beihai Province, but the difference is that the East Palace is still just the East Palace, and Xuanyuan City cannot represent Tiannan for the time being. Let the East Palace and Xuanyuan
You still have a long way to go to integrate the city into one and annex Tiannan. I don’t know if you have read the history of Beihai, but I can tell you responsibly that this process is not smooth sailing, nor is it possible.
Everything is smooth sailing. If you are willing to cooperate with Beihai, Beihai is willing to give you sufficient support. In ten or twenty years, Beihai Province and the Beihai Wang Family will be the future East Palace and Tiannan."
"Only when our two forces, the north and the south, reach a new balance, will Zhongzhou choose to wait and see."
He looked at Li Tianlan and said solemnly: "This is good for both of us."
"That's not what I want to hear."
Li Tianlan paused and looked at Wang Shengxiao.
Wang Shengxiao raised his eyebrows.
"Talk about the situation, talk about the future, talk about balance, talk about reason."
"Why are you talking about these things? If you say I understand the obvious things, I will understand them even if you don't. So it's better not to say them."
He lowered his head and speeded up his eating movements, and said calmly: "The council wants to cooperate with me. I just need to nod, and I can quickly replace Kunlun City and become the new God of War in Central Continent. Tiannan will still be the headquarters of the Eastern Palace. This
It’s the price they gave me, so you don’t need to analyze all the possibilities, you might as well just tell me what you can give me.”
Wang Shengxiao's pupils shrank slightly for a moment.
He had already guessed that Zhongzhou might replace Kunlun City with the Eastern Palace, but he did not expect that Li Huacheng and Chen Fangqing would be so decisive.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, and said in a low voice: "What Zhongzhou is currently giving to Tiannan, with Beihai's strength, I can also give you some weapons and armaments. Although the models are different, there will be no difference in performance. In terms of connections,
, we can also build a real network for you, and..."
"Kunlun City."
Li Tianlan looked at Wang Shengxiao and said calmly: "This is what Zhongzhou can give me, can you give it too?"
Wang Shengxiao was silent for a long time.
"Kunlun City, I can't give it to you."
He said slowly: "But I can give you Tiannan. As long as we reach a cooperation, after the Beihai Wang family temporarily stabilizes the situation, I can fully help the East Palace win everything in Tiannan. This is the price I gave."
His thoughts gradually became clear: "Zhongzhou gave you Kunlun City because I want you to return to the old path of the Li family and protect Zhongzhou. I don't deny the glory and height of the Li family back then, but compared to Beihai, this development model is restrictive.
Too many. The Li family’s foundation is in Zhongzhou, but it can never represent Zhongzhou. I suggest you choose another path, the path of the Wang family in Beihai. We in Beihai don’t need to represent Zhongzhou, but no one is qualified to represent Beihai except us.
."
"Tiannan can be Tiannan of Zhongzhou, but first, he must be your Tiannan first. Tiannan is not your Tiannan, but he is Tiannan of Zhongzhou first. The two are different, very different
no the same."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and nodded: "Very convincing. If we cooperate, what do you need me to do?"
Wang Shengxiao looked at Li Tianlan quietly for a long time before suddenly asking: "Why don't you tell me what you can do if we cooperate?"
Li Tianlan glanced at him and slowly drank a glass of wine.
"Chaos in the North Sea is just around the corner."
He said softly.
Wang Shengxiao's eyes narrowed and he nodded: "It's obvious."
"I couldn't go to Beihai when it was in the most chaos. I had to stay here, myself, in the desert prison. This is what I promised the parliament."
Li Tianlan said slowly: "In this situation, how do you want me to help you?"
