Li Tianlan failed to personally deliver Li Qingcheng to Li Xi.
The moment the two entered the nursing home, a tall, rough-looking middle-aged man rushed over.
He seemed to have been waiting at the door of the nursing home. When he saw Li Tianlan, without saying a word, he directly grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the nearby helicopter. The helicopter's rotor had already started to roar, and he was ready to take off in the shortest possible time.
.
He has a thick beard on his face, a rugged and somewhat ferocious appearance, and a tall and fat body. As his movements are somewhat stiff and forceful, his whole body of fat is trembling slightly.
Li Qingcheng, who was a little confused, subconsciously grabbed Li Tianlan's arm and frowned slightly.
Li Tianlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not many people in Central Continent dared to do this to him, but against this person, he couldn't get angry at all.
Dongcheng Rusuo and Dongcheng Qiuchi's godfather.
Thor.
The thunder god of the Dongcheng family.
The God of Thunder who stayed with him in the desert prison for a year.
Growing up, Thor was the first outsider person he came into contact with that had nothing to do with Li's camp.
This is a kind of feeling that is difficult for others to understand. Although the two of them only got along for a year, they were very happy. Later, Li Tianlan left the Li family, and the two of them never met each other. But for Thor, Li Tianlan
I have always been respectful and grateful.
"No, Uncle Lei, please wait a moment. Where are you going?"
Li Tianlan followed the Thunder God's strength with some helplessness.
"Hidden Dragon Sea."
Lei Shen was stunned and said in a deep voice: "The parliament has been noisy. Chen Fangqing and the minister almost had a fight in the conference room. The meeting is currently in recess. The minister asked me to wait here and said that he would take you over as soon as you come.
"
Chen Fangqing and Dongcheng Wudi almost had a fight?
Or in the conference room of Yinlonghai?
So exciting?
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"
"In northern Xinjiang, the situation is very confusing now. I don't know the details. I will tell you when I get to the Hidden Dragon Sea."
Thor pulled him onto the helicopter.
"Wait a minute."
Li Tianlan turned his head and glanced at Li Qingcheng, and said slowly: "Your mother is in Ward 001 on the third floor of Building 2. I can't go there now. In this case, you can go find him by yourself. There is no one else in the room. Let's have a good chat."
Li Qingcheng was stunned, biting her lip, looking at Li Tianlan with complicated eyes, but subconsciously let go of the little hand holding his arm.
"By the way, let me tell her that we will go to Tiannan as soon as possible. Tiannan has what you need."
Li Tianlan said something more, and then he was dragged onto the helicopter by Thor.
The helicopter shook for a moment and slowly took off.
Li Qingcheng stood dazedly under the helicopter, the strong wind brought by the rotor blowing her clothes. She stood silently, raising her slightly swollen face, looking a little pitiful.
Li Tianlan glanced at her and shook his head.
The helicopter rushed towards the Hidden Dragon Sea at full speed.
In the cabin, Thor had calmed down. He looked at Li Qingcheng, who was standing still below, and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Li Tianlan handed him a cigarette and asked casually: "Why are you here in Youzhou?"
"I was attending a military meeting. The minister was anxious to find you, so he asked me to come here to guard him."
Thor chuckled, took the cigarette and took a deep drag.
Li Tianlan nodded and hummed, his eyes a little complicated.
He still remembered what Li Xi said to him.
then...
More than twenty years ago, when he and Dongcheng Rushi were just born, the God of Thunder rushed in, called his godson, and took Dongcheng Rushi away.
Then there are now Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace.
Li Tianlan was a little helpless. Now that the matter had come to this, he had no objections to Thor. He was just thinking about those past events and looking at the current Thor, he felt a little bit subtle.
"Boy, why do you look at me like that?"
The God of Thunder scratched his big face inexplicably.
"I was wondering when you would be promoted."
Li Tianlan laughed.
"Hey, hey hey."
Thor rubbed his hands: "I guess it will be soon. The minister means that I am very critical this year. If it works well, there is still hope. He said that you also helped me a lot."
Li Tianlan smiled and said nothing.
Lei Shen is one of the true core members of the Dongcheng family. His parents are Dongcheng Hanguang's comrades. After their early sacrifices, Dongcheng Hanguang brought Lei Shen back to the family to adopt him as his adopted son. Lei Shen was only four years old that year. Over the years,
As one of the core members of the family, Dongcheng Hanguang completely raised Lei Shen as his biological son. If he had not given birth to the wrong child back then, he would probably be Li Tianlan's godfather now.
If possible, the Dongcheng family would push such a person up no matter what.
Now Lei Shen is the commander of the Bloody Legion, with the rank of lieutenant general. Although he is still one level away from the marshal, the Bloody Legion has become extremely important in recent years due to the relationship with Tiannan. Thor, who fully controls the Blood Legion, can be said to be the leader of the Central Continent Army.
The top real power faction.
After Dijiang resigned, Dongcheng Wudi once again served as the commander of the Frontier Corps. However, such a part-time job was destined not to last long. Currently, there are two candidates for the position of new commander of the Border Corps. One is the old Eagle King of the Li family.
, the other one is Thor.
Eagle King was originally the only choice, but with a series of changes that happened after Li Tianlan walked out of the desert prison, Thor now also has the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
The establishment of the new group is destined to leave a large power vacuum in Central Continent. Bai Qingqian joined the new group and followed the new group's path to enter the Central Continent Parliament. This also means that the power of the Dongcheng family does not have to worry about Bai Qingqian.
The force can completely turn to support Thor and allow him to go further.
As far as Li Tianlan is concerned personally, there is no difference between closeness and alienation between the Li family and the Dongcheng family. He has never felt that the Li family has treated him badly, nor has he felt that the Dongcheng family has wronged him. No matter who becomes the leader of the Border Guards, the Eagle King or the Thunder God
The new army commander, Li Tianlan, didn't have any objections.
However, from the perspective of working together, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome if Thor, who has been with Dongcheng Wudi for a long time and is more familiar with the Frontier Corps, can join.
"I can't guarantee anything right now. The situation is too chaotic and the outcome is still unclear. Let's wait. When the Beihai incident is over, it will almost be settled."
Li Tianlan said softly.
Thor nodded understandingly.
The helicopter landed on the tarmac near the Yinlonghai Conference Room in the shortest possible time.
Thor did not go down, and Li Tianlan walked toward the conference room alone.
The adjournment in the conference room continues.
The content of this meeting was extremely sensitive. There were no secretaries or staff inside or outside the conference room. Several directors were standing in front of the fish pond at the entrance of the conference room, but they did not speak to each other, but looked at the fish pond in a daze.
.
Li Tianlan glanced around and didn't see Li Huacheng, Chen Fangqing, or Dongcheng Wudi.
Seeing Li Tianlan appear, everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.
Zhou Yunhai, the leader of the Northern Group who was closest to him, came over with a smile and shook hands with Li Tianlan: "When did your Majesty arrive in Youzhou?"
"I just arrived and before I could take a breath, I was pulled over."
Li Tianlan exerted slight pressure on his hands and spoke in an easy-going tone.
“It’s been a hard journey.”
Zhou Yunhai patted Li Tianlan's palm and said, "Let's go and have a chat with Mr. Zou."
Everyone who saw this scene had mixed feelings.
Especially several directors from the academic group and the Southeast Group.
Although the Northern Group is still the Northern Group, everyone knows that with the exposure of the identity of the military advisor, the Northern Group has almost become a part of the new group. Although Zhou Yunhai is still the leader of the Northern Group, his successor is already a part of the new group.
The backbone of the two forces, this kind of cooperation is completely the integration of the two major forces, and it is so stable that there is no hope of destruction at all.
Zou Mulin, another leader of the wealthy group, was feeding the fish in front of the fish pond. There was only a small amount of fish food left in his hand. The old man moved slowly, as if he could stand like this until dark.
"Mr. Zou."
There was respect in Li Tianlan's voice.
"Every time I see you, I feel old. This feeling has become more and more obvious recently."
Zou Mulin turned around with a smile and looked at Li Tianlan with some emotion in his voice.
Li Tianlan didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile.
Zou Mulin is the oldest among the nine directors. He has passed his seventies. He will inevitably retire after this term. However, he has nothing to be unwilling to do. His only son Zou Yuanshan is currently developing very well in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. According to the current situation
Momentum, unless a huge accident occurs, such as Li Tianlan's sudden death or something, in more than ten years, the entire Central Continent will be dominated by Li Tianlan and Zou Yuanshan.
Zou Mulin's face glowed red, he looked at Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "What do you think of this incident?"
"Actually, I don't know what happened yet."
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly. He only knew that there was a big problem in Northern Xinjiang, but it shouldn't be too serious. Otherwise, this meeting would definitely be a race against time. How could the meeting be adjourned?
His mobile phone has run out of battery, and Donghuang Palace cannot contact him. Currently, he is completely blind.
Zou Mulin was stunned.
"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yunhai smiled at the side and said softly: "This is the follow-up to the Desert War. Northern Xinjiang
The Legion has a big problem. The Northern Xinjiang Legion took the initiative to provoke the Desert War, but the report to the military headquarters was that they were going to conduct a military exercise in the desert. Now the Desert War has ended, but too many people died in the war. For these
It is difficult for the military department to express its stance on those who died in war. After all, this war was not necessary at all. Zhongzhou cannot grant the status of martyrs to all those who died in war, nor can it provide them with due compensation. Therefore, the only thing Minister Dongcheng did was
The exercise request of the Northern Xinjiang Army was approved."
"..."
The corner of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched.
Of course he knew this.
It was his request not to give the names of martyrs to the Northern Xinjiang Army's war dead. This also meant that the families of all the war dead would not be able to enjoy any due benefits after their family members died in the war. This alone was enough to
Huang Tong pushed him to the road, and then tore a huge sore from Huang Tong's body that could make the Prince Group bleed.
As for the issue of pension, this is a matter of working together.
No matter how you look at it, the military has no reason to issue this pension.
This is a pension for tens of thousands of people!
Zhongzhou is not stingy with its military pensions. Under normal circumstances, if a soldier dies in battle, the family members will receive millions in pensions.
The number of casualties in the desert war reached tens of thousands.
The amount of this pension is astronomical and unimaginable.
That's hundreds of billions of Zhongzhou coins.
From beginning to end, the Northern Xinjiang Army's report to the military headquarters was just a military exercise.
What the hell are you doing to get hundreds of billions in pensions?
Is the exercise actually a war?
Your Northern Xinjiang Legion secretly started a war, how dare you ask for hundreds of billions of pensions?
If this pension is given, it will set an extremely bad precedent. Without reason, explanation, and disobedience to orders, this money is given out. Is it really true that China's finance is someone's private treasury?
As for the Northern Xinjiang Army, Huang Tong couldn't afford the money at all, not even one-tenth of it.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and asked, "What next?"
"Then, just a few hours ago, a large number of family members rushed into the largest station of the Northern Xinjiang Army to demand an explanation."
Zhou Yunhai laughed, his smile full of solemnity: "For some reason, Huang Tong not only did not come forward to explain and stabilize the situation, but instead ordered the garrison to shoot and seriously injure some family members of the deceased."
Li Tianlan's body suddenly shook, he raised his head in shock, and said in disbelief: "Shoot?!"
"This is where the problem lies."
Zhou Yunhai nodded solemnly: "The injuries to several family members caused serious consequences. The news was transmitted very quickly. Now there are tens of thousands of family members in Northern Xinjiang, and now they all flock to Northern Xinjiang.
The legion's garrison fought tooth and nail with the garrison. There were more than 100,000 civilians, and they were the families of the soldiers. Some of Huang Tong's diehard loyalists in the Northern Xinjiang Legion carried out the order to fire, but a large number of ordinary soldiers were also angered by Huang Tong.
, they took off their military uniforms and took up their guns to protect the families of their fallen comrades. Under such circumstances, although there were many family members, Huang Tong's troops occupied the arsenal of the military region. It had been nearly an hour since the incident happened.
No one knows how many people have died in northern Xinjiang now, and the minister is also very embarrassed."
Li Tianlan's face was ashen, and it took him a long time before he said, "Fuck!"
No matter how this matter is handled, there will be unimaginable consequences.
It's very simple. This is originally a matter of giving money or not.
Give money?
The Northern Xinjiang Army cannot afford it, and the Finance and Military Departments of Central Continent have no reason to pay. Once this precedent is set, a large amount of military expenditures in Central Continent will be spent on some messy things in the future.
No money? Those family members will definitely start to fight hard.
This difficult problem has already been before Parliament.
But now that gunfire rang out in Northern Xinjiang, the whole thing was completely in dire straits.
In any case, Huang Tong's order to shoot is incomprehensible.
No matter what, this matter must be completely controlled.
If those family members were killed by Huang Tong without any reason, and no reasonable results were obtained, which soldier in Zhongzhou would dare to fight for Zhongzhou in the future?
No.
It's no exaggeration at all.
There won't be any!
Not even one!
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, and just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Tianlan."
Li Tianlan turned his head subconsciously.
In front of the conference room, Dongcheng Wudi appeared there, his face ashen.
Seeing Li Tianlan, his expression barely softened for a moment, and he nodded: "Come in with me, there are some things we need to discuss."
