He looked at Guo Wentian in front of him quietly and remained silent for a long time.
He and Guo Wentian have known each other for more than thirty years.
The two had known each other since they first emerged in the Prince Group, but over the years, their relationship had never been harmonious.
The two reached the level of deputy governor together, and then took the position of provincial governor together. Finally, they became the provincial speaker almost at the same time, and then were elected as members of the Central Continent Council.
During their five-year membership, that period was the worst period in the relationship between Chen Fangqing and Guo Wentian. It could almost be said that they were incompatible with each other, and even reached the point of life and death.
Because at that time, there was a person named Zhou Tong in the Prince Group.
At that time, he was a member of the Zhongzhou Council and the chairman of Tianfu Province.
At that time, Zhou Tong was the recognized leader of the Prince Group and the most powerful figure who was most likely to become the new president of Zhongzhou. In the process of competing with Li Huacheng, Zhou Tong could be said to be far ahead. Everyone believed that Zhou Tong was elected.
There will be no suspense.
At that time, the Prince Group was very powerful, but it was far from being able to dominate the world with one hand. In order to push Zhou Tong up, the Prince Group secretly made a lot of compromises, and made promises to the Southeast Group and the Rich Group when it was tit-for-tat with the academics.
Many conditions.
This also means that if Zhou Tong was successfully elected as president at that time, even if the entire Prince Group went all out, it would only be able to promote one director who could protect Zhou Tong.
This director position can only come from Chen Fangqing or Guo Wentian.
With Zhou Tong's presence, the two of them could only go up to one.
This was something that both of them knew about each other from the moment they became members of the House of Representatives. At that time, the two could be said to be the most direct competitors of the Prince Group.
But what no one expected was that one month before the election, Zhou Tong, who had been pressing Li Huacheng tightly, was suddenly pulled down by Li Huacheng, and he was thrown into the abyss. Li Huacheng was a latecomer at the most critical moment.
At the top, Zhou Tong fell from heaven to hell, or in other words, into the desert.
Zhou Tong went to the desert prison.
Li Huacheng became the president of Zhongzhou.
The Prince Group had no time to react, so in the end it had no choice but to push Chen Fangqing and Guo Wentian together to become Zhongzhou directors.
Chen Fangqing was the prime minister, and Guo Wentian controlled the National Assembly. In terms of rankings at the time, the two of them were the second-ranked people in Zhongzhou.
Number three, but even so, this is still the biggest defeat and mistake of the Prince Group in recent decades. After becoming directors, the relationship between Chen Fangqing and Guo Wentian seemed to have eased a lot, but the game between the two back then was too fierce.
There are still clear rifts within the Prince Group.
Chen Fangqing habitually considers problems from an overall perspective. What he looks at is the overall situation, the future and overall interests of Central Continent.
Guo Wentian is more like the real leader of the Prince Group. He values the interests and future of the Prince Group more.
In terms of structure, Chen Fangqing is far better than Guo Wentian, but in terms of ability, Guo Wentian is slightly better than Chen Fangqing.
The two people's ideas have never been completely consistent. How can there be real harmony within the Prince Group, which has seemed peaceful for so many years?
Chen Fangqing has been under great pressure recently and has been suffering from insomnia almost all night long. He has to guard against the Southeast Group, Li Tianlan, and Li Huacheng, but most importantly, he has to guard against Guo Wentian, who has always been calm around him.
As his situation became worse and worse, Chen Fangqing knew very well that Guo Wentian would definitely take action.
But he didn't expect that Guo Wentian would take action at this time.
"You are not optimistic about the decisive battle in Beihai?"
Chen Fangqing asked directly.
He knew very well what Guo Wentian's words meant.
If the decisive battle in Beihai didn't get the result they wanted, then he would have to retreat behind the scenes to cultivate.
With this retreat, the possibility of reappearance is basically gone.
There is still nearly a year before the general election. If he goes to recuperate at this time, the entire Prince Group will fall into Guo Wentian's hands.
Guo Wentian obviously hopes to use this year to stabilize his position, even if he sacrifices a large part of his strength.
And the power of this sacrifice is obviously Chen Fangqing's team.
"No one can predict the future. I am not optimistic or not optimistic about it. I just think this matter is too variable."
Guo Wentian said lightly: "Li Tianlan is not a fool, and the Beihai Wang family is neither. Even if the power in your hands is very strong, I really don't believe that the other party will be unprepared. Don't forget the weird intelligence channels like the Reincarnation Palace. How can they
Maybe he doesn’t know anything? And I can be sure that Li Tianlan took Li Xi back to Tiannan. On the night when he received the letter of war, he went directly to the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory in Tiandu City. From the time Li Tianlan left to now, three days have passed
Time, no one has come out of Tiandu City, not even for the upcoming battle, not in Tiandu Purgatory
Didn't Li Kuangtu tell you about sending representatives to watch the battle?"
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Fangqing's body trembled slightly. He had not paid attention to Tianducheng recently. This was the sincerity of his cooperation with Li Kuangtu. They were both allies. Paying too much attention to each other would only lead to misunderstandings.
"No one is sure what happened in Tiandu Purgatory. But in three days, no one, not even a dog, came out of the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory, and no one entered the entire Tiandu Purgatory headquarters.
..”
He was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely: "It's like he's dead."
An indescribable chill spread all over Chen Fangqing's body in an instant.
"Could it be..."
His voice was trembling: "Li Tianlan killed everyone in Tiandu Purgatory?"
"I have no idea."
Guo Wentian said lightly: "But based on this action, we can at least be sure that Li Tianlan already knows that Li Kuangtu will participate in the decisive battle in Beihai, but the East Palace has not shown the slightest flinch so far. Li Tianlan is not afraid of this at all.
In this decisive battle, it is extremely likely that Li Tianlan will fall? Oh, only you believe this, because you have to believe it."
Chen Fangqing's expression twitched, and he stood there gloomily without speaking.
"To say the least, even if you really win, it may not be a good thing."
Guo Wentian continued: "Your Majesty, who challenged Li Tianlan tonight, and Li Kuangtu, none of them are fuel-efficient. Even if you win this time, you may lose even more miserably in the future."
"I won't lose."
Chen Fangqing suddenly calmed down and said something calmly.
"maybe."
Guo Wentian calmly said: "You said that the decisive battle in Beihai will start tonight, then we will wait for the results tomorrow. You are under too much pressure during this period, and everyone hopes that you can take a rest."
He deliberately emphasized the word "everyone".
Chen Fangqing narrowed his eyes, his face expressionless.
"Let's go back to Youzhou."
Guo Wentian walked forward slowly.
"Go back."
Chen Fangqing said calmly.
"Um?"
Guo Wentian glanced at him doubtfully: "Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm going to Xuanyuan City now, and then I'll fly to Beihai overnight."
