From Li Huacheng's quiet voice, Li Tianlan felt an almost strong confidence.
This is undoubtedly a showdown.
Just why today
What Qin Weibai predicted should happen in Youzhou did not happen.
Things in Liaodong are still at a stalemate.
Shengshi Fund is currently equally stable.
The overall situation in Zhongzhou was calm, so why did Li Huacheng suddenly choose to have a showdown with him today
Did he value Kuangtu Li so much that his patience ran out, and he was eager to fish him out to complete the plan before the election
or...
Is it because something happened within the academy that could affect Li Huacheng's decision-making and made Li Huacheng make up his mind
And this matter is obviously not suitable to be exposed now
Qin Weibai knew about this.
But he didn't choose to tell him.
Is it because he didn’t know that this matter would be more beneficial to the East Palace
Li Tianlan glanced in the direction of the living room.
In his sight was Qin Weibai's slim and graceful back, light and elegant, and looking very happy.
This woman deserves another spanking.
Li Tianlan flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked at Li Huacheng: "It seems that you really had a pleasant conversation."
Li Huacheng laughed and said softly: "He agreed to come with me."
"he agrees?"
Li Tianlan suddenly sneered: "Did the president make something wrong? Or did he forget something? Li Kuangtu is now my prisoner and a prisoner detained here. Did he agree to go with you? His will is here What’s the value? I’ve kept him here for so long, can he just leave with his consent?”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Huacheng: "If you want to take him away, don't ask for my opinion. Go ask him first. Hehe, the East Palace is a small household, and the president really doesn't take me seriously."
Li Huacheng lowered his eyelids, his expression neither happy nor angry, and his voice neither salty nor bland: "Then I'm telling you now, I'm going to take him away."
What is strength
What is domineering
At this moment, facing the president who many people thought had no temper, Li Tianlan felt for the first time a huge sense of oppression that was close to coming towards his face.
"I don't agree."
Li Tianlan said lightly, he tilted his head, looked at Li Huacheng, and sneered: "My attitude is here, I don't agree, but I want to see if I don't nod today, whether Li Huacheng can leave the East Palace alive!"
Li Huacheng's body tensed up quietly for a moment.
The corners of his mouth quirked up, half-smiling but not smiling
Said: "Li Huacheng?"
"Slip of the tongue."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "I want to talk about Kuangtu Li."
"Huh, slip of the tongue."
Li Huacheng muttered lightly. This is indeed an explainable reason, but it can also be said that Li Tianlan just thought so in his heart and said it outright. It can also be understood that Li Tianlan was threatening.
The worst case scenario is to fall out.
"I believe it."
Li Huacheng nodded.
"It does not matter."
Li Tianlan said: "The important thing is that I have already said that I don't agree. Do you want to try to take him away by force?"
"Here comes the tea."
A slightly smiling voice sounded.
Qin Weibai walked into the balcony carrying an exquisite tray and placed two cups of tea in front of Li Tianlan and Li Huacheng respectively.
The fragrance of tea and body fragrance float gently.
Li Huacheng was silent for a while and then laughed: "Why is this so? If I really wanted to take him away by force, he should be with me now."
Li Tianlan turned the teacup expressionlessly, his eyes cold.
"Tianlan, you should know very well that Li Kuangtu refused to join the East Palace. In the current situation, you offered such generous conditions, but he refused, which means that he will not be able to join in the future. East Palace.”
Li Huacheng said slowly: "In this case, there is no point in leaving him here."
"It's much better than letting him out and giving the East Palace another opponent."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
"That's what it sounds like."
Li Huacheng smiled and nodded: "But if you keep him locked up, how can you really annex Tiandu Purgatory? A large part of the people in Tiandu Purgatory are from the Li family. In their hearts, they may be towards you, or they may be towards Li Kuangtu , but to put it bluntly, they are all in a dilemma, if you are holding Kuangtu Li captive, don’t you worry about Tiandu Purgatory, or even the elders of the Li family in the East Palace?"
"Locked here, at least he can still be alive."
Li Tianlan said calmly.
Li Huacheng looked at him quietly and asked, "You don't want to kill him?"
Li Tianlan nodded and quickly shook his head.
To be honest, he didn't think it through.
I didn’t want to kill Kuangtu Li before today.
The best plan in his mind was the condition he proposed to Li Kuangtu.
This is also in line with the expectations of most people in the Li family.
The Eastern Imperial Palace and Tiandu Purgatory merged with each other without large-scale conflict.
Both parties have their own gains and are harmonious.
split lee
The family was reunited, with Li Tianlan as the leader and Li Kuangtu as the assistant, allowing the Li family to return to its peak and then create a dynasty similar to the Beihai Wang family.
This is the best ending.
But Li Kuangtu didn't accept it.
How good are the conditions he proposed
So good that apart from that, there was only one condition left that could be better than the one he proposed.
That is to let Li Kuangtu become the master of the East Palace, and Li Tianlan step back and become the deputy palace master, handing everything in his hands to Li Kuangtu.
Apart from this, there was no other condition that could be better than what he gave Li Kuangtu.
Nothing better.
But Li Kuangtu didn't accept it.
At that moment, Li Tianlan's mood was very complicated, including disappointment, anger, self-deprecation, and finally turned into indifference.
From the second he left the room where Kuangzu Li was imprisoned.
In his mind, it was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to kill Li Kuangtu or not.
It doesn't matter if the other party didn't accept that condition, whether it was pride, paranoia, or ignorance.
Because they are enemies.
All enemies can be killed.
Toward Li Kuangtu, he felt that he had done all he could to be kind and righteous.
"So your current reason is not a reason."
Li Huacheng said lightly: "You don't care whether Li Kuangtu lives or dies now. As long as he leaves, you will no longer show mercy to him. In this case, there is no scruples about killing him. Li Kuangtu was here before It may be important to you, but now that he has chosen to become your enemy, it is not that important. He is just your enemy now."
"Just?"
Li Tianlan laughed: "Do you know that just one sentence from you is equivalent to asking me to let the tiger go back to the mountain? If I nod today, the Li family and the East Palace will probably pay countless lives as the price of my nod today." ?”
"If the East Palace wants to develop, it is inevitable to make sacrifices."
Li Huacheng's voice was cold.
"Then I can at least choose to reduce one enemy."
Li Tianlan said coldly.
"You can't choose."
Li Huacheng faced Li Tianlan's sharpness without hesitation, and was extremely calm: "I don't agree, and Zhongzhou doesn't agree either. In Tiandu Purgatory, Li Kuangtu must become your enemy. From another angle, you can think of this as Zhongzhou's confrontation with Your test can also be said to be my test for you."
"test?"
Li Tianlan seemed to have heard a joke and sneered: "Why do you test me?"
Li Huacheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Just because I am the president of Zhongzhou now."
