When the taxi stopped in front of the sanatorium, the fiery sunset had disappeared, and the icy chill was enveloped by the night. He got out of the car, quietly looked at the warm lights in the sanatorium in front of him, and stayed there,
It's like falling into a memory.
On the bustling street, dense traffic flowed by. He stood quietly, facing the direction of the sanatorium a little tired and confused, like a travel-traveled passerby.
I can't tell you exactly why I came here. It was just an instinctive reaction. When I got the news about her, I didn't think about it, didn't hesitate, and didn't make a choice.
I wanted to come, so I came.
The East Palace is different from Kunlun City.
Li Tianlan is also different from Gu Xingyun.
So he knew very well that he couldn't just watch silently like before. If he didn't want to lose again, he could only try his best to fight for it.
The surging memories are like a surging tide carrying unrivaled power in the night.
That kind of power held him firmly here, and all the pictures in his mind were like a long, illusory past.
Scenes from the past flickered silently.
He laughed.
The clearest thing in his memory is not the first meeting between him and her, nor the lingering entanglement that they had been close to several times but finally far away from, but that cold winter, in that gloomy palace, in front of countless people, she
Floating quietly on the beams of the bedroom.
Wearing a plain white dress, a simple wooden hairpin, without any extra decoration, and facing the sky, on a most ordinary day, at an ordinary time, she quietly hanged herself in the bedroom.
.
So quiet, so indifferent.
On that day of that year, her figure swayed before his eyes, like a sharp knife, piercing the flesh, chest, and heart, seeming to tear his whole body into countless bloody pieces.
In my memory, it was a tragic world that could no longer be described as tragic.
Some families were broken up, some were separated from their wives, some were betrayed, and some died without a complete body. One after another, people who stood at the top fell down with endless glory and scenery. Now when I think about it again, no one can escape intact, and memories are filled with them.
It was all about death, blood, and betrayal, and each one came to a desolate end, leaving the scene miserably. Those who died could not rest in peace, and those who lived were worse than dead. It was an era full of darkness and cold tones.
As a survivor of that era, he was undoubtedly lucky.
Lucky enough to watch his beloved woman die in someone else's bedroom.
Fortunately, he watched his beloved father dig out his heart with his own hands.
I was lucky enough to see that everything I had and worked for was easily crushed into dust under the general trend.
How lucky?
The luckiest thing is that he is still alive and has the opportunity to change everything.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the overflowing thoughts bit by bit, moved forward slowly, took out his cell phone and made a call.
The call was answered quickly.
The saint's voice sounded somewhat surprised: "Yu on the river?"
"I am honored that my name can appear in His Highness's address book."
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly.
The saint remained calm, calmed down his emotions, and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
No matter how low-key Jiang Shangyu is, no one dares to say that Jiang Shangyu is a little person.
Overnight, he went from the realm of burning fire to half-invincible, and reached the sky in one step.
One of the most dazzling young people in Zhongzhou today, the son of Jiang Shan.
General of the Military Department and former deputy commander of the Snow Dance Corps.
Regardless of his identity, no one would think that he was a small person. The saints would naturally write down his contact information. Not only him, but the name Jiang Shangyu was also marked as an important person even in Li Huacheng's address book.
"I'm at the entrance of Youzhou Sanatorium."
Jiang Shangyu's smile was gentle. Under the night, it was a smile that made people feel warm just looking at it: "I want to go in and visit Ms. Li Xi, um, and Qingcheng..."
During the call, the saint was silent for a moment.
"If His Highness wants to report to His Majesty Li Tianlan, I can wait."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly, his posture was neither high nor low, and when he talked about Li Tianlan, he naturally used the title "Your Majesty" so that no one could feel the slightest malice.
Jiang Shangyu has always been a little strange about his position.
After the chaos in the Snow Country, his declaration that his wings were hardened was undoubtedly tantamount to officially parting ways with Kunlun City.
Similarly, his relationship with the Beihai Wang family is not good either.
My relationship with Li Tianlan is even more average.
No one in Zhongzhou would ignore the existence of Jiang Shangyu, but seriously speaking, it seems that no one really regards him as an enemy.
The saints were not very sure about their relationship with Jiang Shangyu for a while. The major forces, including the Eastern Palace, might be wary of him, but when it came to hostility, it seemed that there was not much to say, even after today's events in Northern Xinjiang.
It was still the same after the incident. The sanatorium was not a forbidden place. Jiang Shangyu wanted to come in to visit Li Xi. He followed the normal procedure and said hello to the saint. The saint could not find any reason to refuse.
"unnecessary."
The saint said slowly: "I will say hello to the guard, you can register and just come in."
"Thanks."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and hung up the phone.
Registration is very simple, and entering the nursing home is even smoother.
Walking through the tree-lined path in front of the sanatorium, at the end of the road, the military advisor was standing there quietly. When he saw Jiang Shangyu approaching, he nodded slightly: "I asked Li Xi."
The saint said calmly: "She agreed to see you."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said, "Thank you."
The saint turned around and led the way. After taking two steps, he suddenly asked:
"Do you know what happened in Northern Xinjiang?"
"I know."
Jiang Shangyu nodded matter-of-factly: "Huang Tong made such a fuss that he deserved his death. His Majesty Donghuang did a beautiful job. In fact, before I came, my father asked me to say thank you to His Majesty."
Even before the blockade, Huang Tong's military rank was only the same as Jiang Shangyu's. Now with his death, the military has confirmed his treason, so he will naturally not be polite when talking about Huang Tong.
"Thanks?"
The saint repeated: "Thank you..."
His tone was a little playful and a little sinister: "Indeed, it is necessary for the congressman to say thank you to His Majesty."
"If His Majesty is in a nursing home, I will tell him face to face."
Jiang Shangyu's smile did not change.
The saint looked at him deeply, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Is this what the congressman meant?"
"I don't know what you mean."
Jiang Shangyu said with a smile.
"You, the Jiang family, want to conquer Northern Xinjiang in one go. You are very ambitious, but have you never considered the problem of not being able to eat it?"
The saint is still calm.
If he was facing Jiang Shan, no matter how well-educated the saint was, he would inevitably mock him, but when facing Jiang Shangyu, he had no such idea at all.
This may also be the characteristic of Jiangshangyu.
He has also been arrogant and domineering, but on some sensitive matters, he has always been able to infinitely reduce his sense of existence to a level where he is not noticeable at all.
"We never consider problems that don't exist."
The sound of rain on the river is soft, and there are needles hidden in the cotton.
In other words, there is no possibility of not being able to conquer Northern Xinjiang?
The saint raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "I have been thinking about it for a while, but I still can't figure out who you can rely on behind you. If you don't have a strong enough backer, even if the Jiang family can barely conquer Northern Xinjiang now, sooner or later
They will also spit it out. It is impossible for the parliament to keep Northern Xinjiang in this state for a long time, and His Majesty does not want to see this situation. When the time comes, what will you do to stop it? In other words, what will the backers behind you do to stop it? "
"It is certain that Zhongzhou does not like to see the current situation, but the situation in northern Xinjiang is sensitive, and the parliament does need someone who can handle various matters in an all-round way, and in a short period of time, Zhongzhou's eyes are destined to focus on His Majesty Li Tianlan and
Chen Fangqing may be adding another ancient saying. Compared with Northern Xinjiang, this is the most important thing. The parliament cannot take care of us in a short time. This precious time is what we want to fight for.
Only with time can we make arrangements.”
Jiang Shangyu's confession was a bit surprising. He smiled and suddenly said: "Your Highness, what do you think of the game between the Eastern Palace, the Beihai Wang Family, the Prince Group and the Special War Group?"
The saint was stunned for a moment, then laughed a little weirdly: "Game? Is the special operations group still qualified to participate in the game?"
Jiang Shangyu was dumbfounded for a while, then he laughed and said: "Indeed, after today's incident, Gu Xingyun's prestige has fallen to the bottom, and the special warfare group has almost been eliminated."
Gu Xingyun's failure undoubtedly had extremely serious consequences, but what was even more serious was that he lost to the rising Li Tianlan when the special operations group was caught in a treasonous storm.
The relationship between Kunlun City and the Burning Legion is still unclear. With Gu Xingyun's defeat, the foundation of Kunlun City will be torn apart.
Game?
Now it seems that this term is almost a joke when applied to Kunlun Chen.
"So, isn't the answer obvious?"
The saint spoke slowly.
"Heroes think alike."
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while, and smiled implicitly: "The special warfare group is out, the Prince Group is destined to be alone, the East Palace and the Beihai Wang family... To be more specific, it is the Southeast, the wealthy, the north, and the Xin
The academic group may stand idly by when the group besieges the Prince Group, but it is impossible to be completely neutral. Why not take advantage of the bastard, haha. Under the siege of all parties, Chen Fangqing and the Prince Group will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the Prince Group will fall apart.
, the strength was greatly damaged, and the East Palace and the Beihai Wang family achieved an unprecedented victory. This is probably the result of this game."
"so what?"
The saint turned to look at Jiang Shangyu, the sword intent in his eyes was flowing with strong pressure, sharp and compelling.
"so..."
Jiang Shangyu spread his hands: "Have you ever thought about what will be the final fate of the Prince Group? This is a group that has been rooted in Central Continent for hundreds of years. It even has a history that is earlier than the Southeast Group. With deep roots, the Prince Group may
The strength will be greatly damaged and may even break up, but such a group cannot recover after a fall. Your strength is very strong, but Your Highness, do you really think that after the game, the Prince Group will disappear completely?"
The saint shook his head subconsciously.
Even the most optimistic people have no way to say that the Prince Group will disappear completely. They are destined to suffer heavy losses and cannot even preserve half of their strength. With the fall of Chen Fangqing, the Prince Group will inevitably suffer losses within the group, but will it disappear completely?
This is almost impossible to do, and Li Huacheng will not just watch such a situation happen, so the best result is that the people in Chen Fangqing's group are completely eliminated, and a large number of people from the Prince Group enter the new group and the academy, and the remaining
The forces below were in chaos and scattered, and then slowly integrated, elected new leaders, and regained a firm foothold.
By then, the newly born Prince Group will still be a behemoth.
"Everything should be over before the election. The Prince Group will fall into chaos for a period of time, but as time goes by, people can always see the situation clearly. Maybe in three months, maybe half a year, maybe a year, the Prince Group will automatically
Integrate the shuffle.”
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly. In the cold night, his gentle smile seemed to be as arrogant and wild as a snarl: "I seem to remember that my father's status in the Prince Group is not low."
saint
:!!!
His forward steps suddenly stopped, and he suddenly turned around, looking with burning eyes at Jiang Shangyu, who had a charming smile.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood what everything in Northern Xinjiang meant.
It was as if someone gently pushed away the faint fog in front of his eyes, and everything suddenly became clear.
Jiangshan and Prince Group have drifted apart in recent years and are almost strangers to each other.
Everyone ignored Jiangshan's position.
But the moment Jiang Shangyu said it again, the hair on Saint's whole body stood up.
Jiangshan belongs to the Prince Group.
The Prince Group is destined to fail in the game.
The force led by Chen Fangqing will be completely broken up, some other forces will leave the Prince Group, and the remaining forces will be reintegrated and a new leader will be elected.
Who else is more suitable to be the new leader of this prince group than Jiang Shan, who has complete control over everything in northern Xinjiang?
Strength, money, connections, status, prestige.
There are all the kingdoms and mountains that should be there.
While the Prince Group was panicking, Jiangshan directly and powerfully took control of Northern Xinjiang.
When the Prince Group wakes up, I'm afraid those people will move closer to Jiangshan without needing to say more.
By then the Prince Group...
No, at that time, it was no longer the Prince Group at all.
Maybe Beijiang Group?
Or...Jiang's Group?!
It was an indescribable feeling. All the warmth in the body seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, and a slight trembling feeling spread throughout the body. The saint stared deeply at Jiang Shangyu.
"This is your purpose?"
"This is the situation."
Jiang Shangyu's expression was a little innocent.
The saint chuckled expressionlessly: "I suddenly thought of a word, a word that Chen Fangqing often said in recent days, and even used it on His Majesty several times."
"Country thief!"
The saint looked at Jiang Shangyu: "You, the Jiang family, are the real thieves of the country. You are so brave."
"Your Highness, do you want to stop it?"
Jiang Shangyu chuckled.
"What do you think?"
The saint narrowed his eyes.
"late."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "It's already too late. Since I can tell all this, it proves that there is no need to hide many things. You can't stop it, and neither can His Majesty Li Tianlan."
"Actually, I know that he has ideas about Northern Xinjiang, but he is too slow. You are all too slow. Your Majesty wants Northern Xinjiang. He needs to operate, deploy people, and create the situation he wants. It is too slow.
We are different..."
"The Jiang family has been developing in Northern Xinjiang for decades. All the things that His Majesty wants to operate can be omitted here. We can go straight to the subject and form today's situation. Really, it is already too late... You
..."
Jiang Shangyu laughed softly: "It's too late."
"you're right."
The saint was silent for a long time before slowly nodding: "In terms of foundation in Northern Xinjiang, no one can match the Jiang family. This is your advantage, but your advantage is limited to Northern Xinjiang. The Jiang family is acting like this today.
, have you really not considered the consequences?”
"What consequences?"
Jiang Shangyu asked calmly.
The saint sneered: "You and I both know that there are only two people in Zhongzhou who have the ability to support Northern Xinjiang. The first is the Eastern Palace, and the second is the Beihai Wang family. The latter will not compete with the Eastern Palace for Northern Xinjiang at this time.
Control, and the Jiang family’s backer is obviously not the East Palace, so what other answer can there be? Behind you are foreign forces, and they can only be foreign forces. With the support of foreign forces, you can afford the pension.
, you can also get a lot of resources, but are you too naive? Control Northern Xinjiang, and also want to control the Prince Group through Northern Xinjiang, and reach into the core of power in Central Continent. Are you really helpless in Central Continent?"
In terms of foundation in Northern Xinjiang, no one can compare with Jiangshan. Anyone or any organization that wants to plot Northern Xinjiang needs certain preparations and certain operations to achieve the situation they want, and most of these actions are aimed at
Jiangshan.
But Jiangshan doesn't need to prepare these things at all, so as long as he wants Northern Xinjiang, as soon as a favorable situation arises for him, he can take over everything in Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible.
There is really no one who can organize Jiangshan's actions now.
But what happens after that?
Immediately after the incident in Northern Xinjiang, I don’t know how many people began to secretly investigate whether the backers behind the Jiang family were foreign forces. Such a fact cannot become a secret at all and cannot be hidden. Once the backers behind the Jiang family
After being exposed, even if Zhongzhou has no time to take care of Northern Xinjiang, it is impossible for Jiangshan to do whatever he wants in Northern Xinjiang.
After all, no matter how serious the fight between Chen Fangqing and Li Tianlan is, it is still an internal matter. Once foreign forces are involved, all the forces in Central Continent will unanimously deal with the outside world.
"There is no such thing as foreign power."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly: "If there is really such a thing, then they are not considered the Jiang family's backers. On the contrary, the Jiang family is their backstage."
He smiled and said lightly: "It seems that many people have misunderstood something. Why does the Jiang family have to have a backer to do things? Our Jiang family does not have the habit of being a dog for others. If there is really a so-called backer and backstage,
Then the Jiang family’s backer and backstage is ourselves, nothing more.”
