Dongcheng Wudi looked at Li Huacheng silently, without saying a word for five minutes.
With a plate of beef and two glasses of wine, Li Huacheng quietly tasted the delicious beef in front of him amid the smoke, letting Dongcheng Wudi set off one brainstorm after another in silence.
Stone cold ice on Youzhou.
Bai Qing Dynasty went down to the border.
If this was the condition Li Hua offered to get Li Kuangtu back from Li Tianlan, then this condition seemed too generous.
Dongcheng Wudi didn't have time to think about the specific extent of the richness, but he could clearly see the sincerity and goodwill from Li Huacheng in this so-called exchange.
Dongcheng Wudi silently picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the glass in front of him, and let out a long breath.
"I have no hostility towards the Eastern Palace."
Li Huacheng finally spoke again, with a faint smile filled with calmness and peace.
"I will give Tianlan an explanation for the Li family's affairs, the Phoenix Pavilion, and Kunlun City, and satisfy him. What I want to do is very simple. It took us thousands of years to move from feudalism to democracy. This is The progress of history is also an inevitable trend. How subtle and invincible it is is hard to appreciate unless I am in this position."
"I fully recognize Tianlan's ability and the height that the East Palace can reach in the future. Zhongzhou hopes to see a genius who can be supreme in the dark world, but he does not want this genius to reach the point where he can ignore everything in Zhongzhou. Then Everything that has happened means that we are turning back the clock on history, and it cannot last long.”
"There is no misunderstanding between Tianlan and I, but there is indeed some unhappiness. I think such unhappiness should be controlled within the normal range."
"Gu Xingyun is selfish, Jiang Shangyu is ambitious, and Li Kuangtu is too paranoid. To be honest, I don't like them, but their existence can make Tianlan understand his position and stance more clearly. There are some things, you , I, Tianlan, and everyone are untouchable. If I touch, it will subvert the system. What I want to do is to let Tianlan go on the most correct path."
"I can see through the ancient clouds, I can see through the rain on the river, and I can see through Li Kuangtu. They may have deep thoughts, but their goals are too obvious. But I can't see through Li Tianlan. I don't know what he wants, and I don't know his future. What will happen? His thoughts are not pure, but chaotic. No one can say that the East Palace is today as a result of Tianlan's painstaking efforts. He wants to control everything, but he seems to be too eager for power. Desire. This is not a compliment, but a warning. I didn't even know he wanted it
What, how could I trust him? "
"The most important thing is that Tian Lan is still too young. His heart and his martial arts are growing faster and faster. Central Continent needs a genius who can personally intimidate the whole world. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhongzhou has no chance of giving up on him. So I need the existence of people like Jiang Shangyu, Gu Xingyun, and Li Kuangtu. Isn’t this a kind of protection? If the three of them join forces, they are no match for Tianlan, so how can they possibly defeat Dong The Imperial Palace? But in the framework of Zhongzhou, with their eager eyes, the Eastern Imperial Palace will be much more cautious."
"Click..."
The lighter lit the cigarette.
Misty mist drifted in the living room.
Li Huacheng took a deep breath and said calmly: "What I want is the balance of Central Continent, a controllable situation. In this situation, everyone is controllable, you, me, every director, everyone A congressman can control every wealthy family, including Li Tianlan, and this is the only thing I want."
"As for other things, power, wealth, and status, I can give them to Li Tianlan as long as he asks."
"But if he wants Middle-earth, I can't give it to him."
Dongcheng Wudi continued to remain silent.
I don't know how long it took before he nodded slowly: "I understand."
Li Huacheng's words and deeds are consistent.
Dongcheng Wudi knows this very well.
If this were not the case, it would be impossible for Li Huacheng and Chen Fangqing to have a fundamental conflict break out.
The two years that Li Tianlan spent in the desert prison were the two years when the Southeast Group and the wealthy group were reshuffled, and they were also the two years when Li Tianlan encountered strong suppression from the college and the Prince Group.
But compared to the fierce pursuit of Chen Fangqing and the Prince Group, the academic group always holds the Prince Group back intentionally or unintentionally. Although it doesn't seem obvious, it is generally Li Huacheng who is controlling certain progress.
Chen Fangqing wants to eradicate the cancer in Zhongzhou.
But there is no cancer in Li Huacheng's eyes.
What he wants is a stable situation. He will weaken some forces that are too powerful for Central Continent to control, but he will never choose to completely destroy them. In his eyes, a destroyed Beihai Wang family will do the same to Central Continent. It is also a huge loss.
That's why Chen Fangqing couldn't bear it and came up with a so-called termination plan.
Now Li Huacheng treats Li Tianlan the same way.
The Eastern Palace is now controllable, and Zhongzhou is completely controllable.
The Eastern Palace is very powerful, has abundant financial resources, has many masters, and has amazing potential.
These are objective facts.
But in front of Zhongzhou, what does the current Eastern Palace count
They have just started, and all their potential and even financial resources have not been converted into real strength.
If Zhongzhou is determined to move the East Palace, from beginning to end, it may just be a matter of pressing a button. In a few minutes, everything in the East Palace will disappear.
Li Huacheng couldn't make such a decision.
But he also saw the possibility of the Eastern Palace becoming stronger than he could control.
So he kept Gu Xingyun, supported Jiang Shangyu, and wanted to rescue Li Kuangtu, just to create an opponent who could balance Li Tianlan.
He could give Li Tianlan everything he wanted, but he would never allow the Eastern Palace to rise completely and break away from Zhongzhou's control while in turn controlling Zhongzhou.
If it really evolves to this point, it will no longer be a game.
It's a life-and-death battle where a river of blood flows.
This is something Li Huacheng tried his best to avoid.
So he found Dongcheng Wudi tonight.
Not a negotiation, not a threat.
But with full sincerity and goodwill.
Shi Hanbing was transferred to the military department.
Bai Qingchao went down from the military headquarters.
This also means that as long as Dongcheng Wudi is willing, Bai Qingchao will be the next commander of the Border Guard Corps.
There is no problem with Bai Qingchao's qualifications. The only flaw may be his strength.
Compared to Dongcheng Invincible, who was at the top of the half-step invincible realm, Bai Qingchao was only at the peak of the Thunder Realm, and he was far from being the strongest in the Frontier Corps.
However, due to his background and Dongcheng Invincible relationship, these flaws are nothing at all.
If Bai Qingchao is allowed to take this position now.
Then after five years, as Li Huacheng and Dongcheng Wudi retire, the possibility of Bai Qingchao taking over Dongcheng Wudi's current position will be infinitely close to 100%.
This will undoubtedly allow wealthy groups to better protect the new groups that have just emerged.
And because of the continued strength of wealthy groups in the military.
The academic school will also become a staunch ally of wealthy groups and even new groups in the next five years or even longer.
This is not a condition in exchange for Li Kuangtu.
This is a signal.
And as long as Li Tianlan accepts this signal, everything that follows can be discussed.
"I will go to Tiannan as soon as possible."
Dongcheng Wudi said in a steady voice: "Let's have a good talk with Tianlan."
