In other words, in the past many years, when the Sword Emperor of Central Continent Wang Tianzong was fine, every time he officially came to Youzhou, as long as the itinerary was clear, a director would basically come to pick him up personally.
There was no accident. Every time he came to pick up Wang Tianzong, it was a director of the Southeast Group. There was only one unexpected situation. The president was personally present, but it was still a director of the Southeast Group who came with the president.
A long time ago, Li Baitian had been filled with emotion when he was gossiping about this with him, saying that this is the fucking card.
Li Tianlan didn't quite understand this at the time. He just felt that doing so was meaningless. It seemed that there was no use at all except being pompous and pretending to be cool.
Several years have passed since that conversation.
Now that Li Tianlan is receiving this kind of treatment, he also understands the significance of doing so.
This is the second time he has left Youzhou since he was called Your Majesty.
The last time he returned to Xuanyuan City, the person who sent him off was Zou Mulin, the director of the wealthy group.
But this time when he returned to Xuanyuan City, it was Dongcheng Wudi who sent him away.
This is also a small detail that Zhongzhou and the Eastern Palace work together to maintain the stability of Zhongzhou.
Although this kind of send-off has high standards, it will not be reported in the news, but everyone who should know will know it.
This means that the East Palace and the group controlled by the East Palace are still under the control of Zhongzhou, the relationship between the two parties is still stable, and the East Palace is also accepting the leadership of the parliament.
A very simple signal, but an essential signal.
Li Tianlan has gradually begun to enjoy Wang Tianzong's original treatment. In the Yinlonghai conference room, he can sit opposite Li Huacheng. When entering and leaving Youzhou, the director will personally pick him up and drop him off. Similarly, in the past many years, every time Wang Tianzong was in
When you are in Youzhou, Zhongzhou secretly has countless modern super-powerful firepower aimed at Beihai.
And now, when Li Tianlan is in Youzhou, countless weapons are also aimed at Xuanyuan City.
The subtlety in this lies in the real relationship between superpowers like the Eastern Imperial Palace and Beihai Wang Family and Zhongzhou.
"It's a good time to leave today. The comrades from the Meteorological Bureau said that there will be a heavy snowstorm tonight. It is estimated that all flights will be delayed tomorrow. Youzhou has been very lively recently. Your current identity is already very sensitive. You have stayed in Youzhou for a long time. To you,
It’s not a good thing for Parliament.”
In the cold wind of the afternoon, the sky above Youzhou Airport was a little gloomy. The plane was making final inspections before taking off. Dongcheng Wudi stood in the cold wind with a calm tone and patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder.
"Isn't it mainly because it's not good for the parliament?"
Li Tianlan laughed.
Wang Tianzong rarely came to Youzhou before. If there are no accidents, Li Tianlan will have few opportunities to come here in the future. It is not because this is a forbidden place, but because different identities represent different meanings. He is now Donghuang, the new
The group has already taken shape, and the wealthy group is fully supporting Li Tianlan to let him stand at the true peak. This also means that there are very few things that he can't solve. Going to Youzhou in person is fine if it is done in private, but in a big way
Coming here will inevitably make some people think that he has something to communicate and negotiate with the council privately. No matter whether there is something or not, not many people are destined to know about it. As a result, the time he stays in Youzhou will become longer and longer.
As time goes by, the outside world will become more uneasy, thinking that there is some unresolved conflict between the Eastern Palace and the Parliament that requires Li Tianlan to spend time here.
Even if he came here for nothing and didn't meet Li Huacheng at all like this time, the outside world didn't know it. It was impossible for the parliament to issue a statement saying that Li Tianlan came here for nothing, so that everyone should not think too much about it.
, this momentum is too weak.
"The same goes for you."
Dongcheng Wudi said in a deep voice, and his serious expression softened slightly: "You have a different identity now. You represent more than just yourself. If anything happens in the future, you must think more about it. Prodigy, Your Majesty, Leader, call out.
How nice it sounds? But how can it be so easy to do? Take Wang Tianzong, for example, he seems to be prosperous on the surface these years, but only he knows the actual pressure. He probably can’t breathe, right? In fact, if they restrained themselves a little over the years, in some cases
If you are more restrained in matters, how could there be such a situation today? The nature of the East Palace and the Beihai Wang family are the same. Studying them can save you a lot of detours. In your current position, you can do anything you want to do, but what you can really do is
In fact, they don’t do much. Slowly you will understand that when a person can really be unscrupulous, it is actually the time when he really has nothing. The two major groups in the East Palace have power over the government and the opposition, and are as rich as the enemy, but the reality behind the scenes
It is the fate of countless people. I hope you can feel their actual weight. To bear these, you need not only force, but also caution."
Li Tianlan slowly put out the cigarette in his hand and flicked his fingers.
The subtle sword energy flew out from the fingers, instantly breaking down the cigarette into powder invisible to the naked eye.
His smile faded and he nodded slightly.
"I'm a little verbose."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled mockingly: "In short, you can rest assured about the matter in Youzhou. Although we are old guys, none of us are old. We can handle the things here for you. Tianlan, my only
What I hope is that when you stand at the top and look at the world, you will never forget the cliff at your feet because of the beautiful mountains and rivers in front of you."
"I did some ridiculous things in my early years, and today it looks like the results were good. Over the years, I have regretted it, many times, but I have to ask myself, if I had to do it again, even if I knew I regretted it, I would do it. But regret,
You will regret it eventually."
Dongcheng Wudi's eyes were a little complicated.
He looked at the young man in front of him quietly.
The Eastern Emperor of the Dark World.
The young majesty of Middle-earth.
The current leader of the Li family.
A young giant who is already at the top of the world in his early twenties.
his own son.
Dongcheng Wudi patted Li Tianlan's shoulder heavily, as if he wanted to cover up the sudden panic and uneasiness in his heart.
He turned his head slightly and said hoarsely: "No matter what happens in the future, just be safe and alive."
Li Tianlan looked at him deeply.
"Something strange..."
After thinking for a while, he said softly.
Dongcheng Wudi's body stiffened for a moment.
"No one seems to have said this to me in my memory. Ever since I was a child, my grandpa has always asked me to rush and reach the highest place."
Li Tianlan said softly: "When I got to where I am now, grandpa was no longer here. If he was still here, maybe he should advise me to be cautious..."
"I like this feeling very much."
"I will also remember these words."
"Actually, you don't have to regret anything, you really don't. Ever since I was a kid, I thought I had nothing to lose, so even today, I never thought about what I lost. All I saw was what I gained.
.”
"The Li family is mine, and the East Palace is mine."
"Although it's a little late, more than twenty years later, I now have a father and a mother."
Li Tianlan's smile was clear and devoid of any resentment or dissatisfaction: "Now that I have parents, I don't want to lose you anymore."
The plane is ready to take off.
Li Tianlan took a step forward and hugged Dongcheng Wudi with a stiff expression.
"take care."
He whispered: "If I have time, I will go to the Central Plains to see you."
"gone."
He waved his hand and strode onto the plane.
After a short wait, the plane slowly entered the runway.
Start, sprint, soar into the sky, farther and farther.
Dongcheng Wudi kept standing there and watching. He just kept watching.
…
When the sixth cup of coffee bottomed out, he had sat quietly in the cafe all afternoon and ate the last piece of pastry. He squinted his eyes and saw the helicopter roaring overhead and approaching the majestic tower nearby.
A castle like a mountain.
He watched silently, watching the helicopter lower and disappear from sight, and finally laughed softly.
"Waiter."
He shouted calmly.
"Sir, what do you need?"
A young waiter in uniform but with dark skin came over with a respectful voice.
"I need a pen and a blank piece of paper."
He spoke softly.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then handed him the ballpoint pen with both hands, said "Wait a moment", turned around and took a blank notebook from the backstage.
He said thank you, tore off a blank page from his notebook, handed it to the waiter along with a tip of one hundred Zhongzhou dollars, and said with a smile: "One piece is enough, I am very satisfied with your service.
"
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he had already picked up the pen and lowered his head, as if thinking about what to write.
The waiter retreated silently.
The ballpoint pen in his hand began to slide across the white paper, quickly turning into two simple lines of small characters.
He put down the ballpoint pen, looked at the content on the paper, and shook his head slightly: "I originally wanted to write something more pretentious... my literary talent is too poor."
As if shrouded in a cloud of starlight, he sighed, stood up, and turned his head to glance at the huge castle standing under the sky not far away.
The sunset in Xuanyuan City is about to end.
Convinced that he really couldn't write a powerful and domineering letter of challenge, he shook his head with regret.
The setting sun sets.
The lights come on.
At the moment when day and night alternated, he casually flicked his fingers.
With a slight sound, the torn and somewhat uneven white paper in his hand disappeared instantly.
"boom!"
In an instant, half of Xuanyuan City heard an extremely violent thunder.
On the lawn in front of the castle, Li Tianlan, who had been supported from Youzhou to Nanyun and back to Xuanyuan City, turned around suddenly the moment he got off the plane.
The sky in the main film seemed to darken in an instant.
The lights of Xuanyuan City shine and refract in the darkness.
Outside the East Palace, a solid field that Li Tianlan had never seen before took shape in the blink of an eye.
The violent field swallowed up all the light and turned into an exaggerated whirlpool thousands of meters high in the distance.
The vortex expanded rapidly, covering the entire Eastern Palace in an instant.
At this moment, everyone in the East Palace subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the sky.
The sky as far as the eye can see has been completely distorted by the majestic realm.
The space was vibrating crazily, and under the absolute pressure, a white light rushed towards Li Tianlan from the vortex unhurriedly.
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw at first glance that it was a piece of white paper.
The most ordinary piece of white paper.
The white paper flew all the way from thousands of meters away, accelerated wildly in the field that distorted the sky, and crashed directly into the Eastern Palace like a meteor.
Li Tianlan, expressionless, stretched out his palm.
The meteor crashed directly into Li Tianlan's hand.
Silent and breathless.
The realm covering thousands of meters in the sky suddenly disappeared.
Li Tianlan's arm shook.
The Saint and Lin Youxian beside him were pushed back by a huge force at the same time, making their bodies unstable.
Li Tianlan remained motionless, lowering his head and looking at the white paper in his hand quietly.
The white paper that flew thousands of meters was not deformed at all and was neat and tidy.
The handwriting on the white paper is extremely clear and straightforward.
"You didn't choose to be our friend. Then, we are our enemies."
"Three days later, there will be a showdown of life and death in the East Palace."
Li Tianlan gently rubbed the paper with his fingers, narrowed his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
