The long night is approaching.
When the darkness dissipated and the bright morning light poured in through the window, Li Tianlan's body, which had remained in the same posture for almost the whole night, finally moved.
It seemed that it was because he had not moved for too long. As he moved, a sound of bone joints vibrated from his body. With the clear sound, his entire attention began to be completely concentrated.
His eyes became a little sore from staying up late, so he turned off the lamp in front of him, shook his head vigorously, and looked out the window.
The pale golden morning light shines softly through the window into the bedroom. The sky is high and the clouds are clear. The sun is rising. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window with an excellent view, the trees, flowers and plants are all bathing in the long-lost sunshine wantonly in such an early morning.
Li Tianlan slightly squinted his painful eyes and came to the window, looking at the sunshine outside the window expressionlessly.
The heavy rain that swept across the entire East Island has stopped. Crystal water droplets hang on the treetops outside the window, shining with a subtle and soft light under the sunlight. On the first day of the seven-day period, under the bright scenery The almost rare sunlight passed by quietly.
Wind, rain and sunshine.
The natural environment is changing.
But Li Tianlan's inner depression has never diminished. Meditation has now almost replaced his sleep. His free time has become his busiest time, Xuanyuan Tai's unique skills, Jie's unique skills, and even Beihai Wang's unique skills. His mind was spinning all the time. Li Tianlan had never had this kind of mentality before, this desire, even the crazy desire to become stronger.
The mentality of survival and getting stronger has been confused. Li Tianlan is not sure whether he becomes stronger because he wants to survive, or because he becomes stronger to survive. He is too lazy to think about it. There is no big conflict between the two. He is now If you are still alive, then do your best to become stronger.
that is it.
The morning sun slowly rose into the sky in the cool morning breeze. Its rays covered the earth and shone in every corner. Li Tianlan remained motionless, letting the sunlight cover him. In the morning light, his whole body seemed to be exuding a light golden color. The bright light, in the blurred light and shadow, is a calm and resolute face.
Dongcheng Ru had already sat up from the bed, blinking his somewhat sleepy eyes, staring blankly at Li Tianlan's back.
She did not leave last night, nor did she have any intimate behavior with Li Tianlan. When Li Tianlan was studying his secret skills, she slept on Li Tianlan's bed. The simplest companionship was also the most silent tenderness. No one could understand how Dongcheng had been growing up. Throughout her whole life, she had been implanted in her mind what a perfect Li Tianlan was. He was everywhere, and as the two of them got closer, the originally vague impression seemed to become clearer and clearer.
Dongcheng Ru's two personalities are not sure whether this is love, but even if it has nothing to do with it, playing the role of a fiancée is definitely what she wants to do most now.
She moved her body on the bed, and the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she gradually became sober and cold.
"You've always heard the saying that haste makes waste, right? I don't object to you working hard, but proper rest is still necessary, otherwise it will only have the opposite effect."
She looked at Li Tianlan's back shrouded in light and spoke in a calm tone.
It was obvious which personality of Dongcheng Rushi such a tone belonged to. Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised, and said calmly: "I have already rested."
"Two hours of sleep every day? Or close to ten hours of meditation? If you think this so-called 'rest' can help you, just ignore it."
Dongcheng Luna said in a somewhat cold tone.
Li Tianlan frowned and remained silent. Up to now, he had met Dongcheng Moon God three times, but they only talked three times, and each time they ended on bad terms. In terms of feelings, Li Tianlan did not hate Dongcheng Moon God. It's hard to like this personality. Overall, he's a bit naturally offensive.
"What are you worried about?"
Dongcheng Luna sighed softly, got out of bed and walked to Li Tianlan and asked.
"Reincarnation."
Li Tianlan did not hesitate this time. He seemed to have an answer gradually in his mind. In the morning light, he took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and then suddenly said: "Does the Dongcheng family have any information about reincarnation in this operation?" intelligence?"
Dongcheng Luna was stunned for a moment.
Li Tianlan has continued to speak: "This time Zhongzhou seeks the East Island, Samsara can be said to be fully cooperating, but it can't be a voluntary help, right? What does Samsara hope to get? Is there any information on this?"
Dongcheng Yueshen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, you should know that our family can't take care of these things now. Our family is now in Changdao. Apart from you and me, there is only one godfather left. The others are all in Zhongzhou and Changdao. The battle is outside the focus of the family."
Our home.
Dongcheng Luna said this word naturally, almost instinctively.
Li Tianlan looked at her deeply and remained silent.
The current Dongcheng family's main focus is indeed not on Changdao, not even Yaochi. They have hardly contributed much in this conspiracy to overthrow the country. When countless forces in Central China begin to expand outward, the rear must also Some people pay attention to border defense.
The Central Continent Killing God Dongcheng Wudi is now flying around several camps of the Frontier Corps almost every day, completely ignoring the matters of Changdao and reincarnation.
Today's Central Continent is not at peace either. A large number of East Island masters are trapped in Huating, including several invincible masters. The entire Huating may become the fourth battlefield besides Long Island, North America, and Northern Europe at any time, and Similarly, the famous Central Continent Frontier Corps is also an extremely obvious target.
The dark world is a world filled with cruelty, blood and violence, but behind a series of negative words, it also means that this is an absolutely sane world, especially when there is little dispute of will between the major forces.
Under the current situation, the East Island special warfare system is in danger, and Zhongzhou's gain is inevitable, so it is time to pay attention to balance.
Dongdao's desperate situation may allow the masters trapped in Huating to break out, thus turning Huating into a new battlefield. But if there is no huge benefit, how can other forces cooperate willingly
They focus on balance.
Since the rise of the Snow Dance Legion is inevitable, it is acceptable to severely damage the Border Guard Legion and allow the Snow Dance Legion to gain momentum.
The Border Guard Corps is famous and they are all elites, but with troops stationed at the border, the difficulty of making a move is much lower than sneaking into an away battle.
This is a truth that everyone understands. Now all the eyes of the Dongcheng family and Yaochi are focused on the issue of border defense in Zhongzhou. To put it bluntly, everything here on Changdao is not their concern at all.
"Don't worry. The reincarnation's highness defeated Gu Xingyun and is in the limelight. Now who will be idle and get into trouble? It will be fine."
Dongcheng Yueshen said slowly.
Li Tianlan nodded and shook his head, his eyes gloomy as he said, "What I'm worried about is her situation after the battle with Gu Xingyun."
Regarding this point, Dongcheng Moon God didn't know what to say. In recent months, the most charming person in the entire dark world is undoubtedly the mysterious Palace Master of Samsara, who slays night spirits, enters the Emperor's Army Mountain, and fights against Gu Xingyun. Mou Zhongzhou is obviously a woman, but she has managed to display a spirit that can swallow up mountains and rivers. Every move she makes has unparalleled martial prowess, but all of this is happening too densely, and now it is not just Li Tianlan who is worried about the reincarnation palace master at this moment. state
I'm afraid most people are not optimistic about her current state.
"What do you want to eat? I'll do it."
Dongcheng Luna was silent for a while, then simply changed the subject and asked.
The Dongcheng family has always been very clear about the training of Dongcheng Rushi. First of all, she is the fiancée of the Li family, and secondly, she is a martial arts genius. Under this training model, Dongcheng Rushi's cooking skills naturally need not be said. A breakfast, for Dongcheng This is not a problem for the two personalities.
"I won't eat anymore."
Li Tianlan shook his head, turned around and said, "I have no appetite, I'll go for a walk."
Dongcheng Moon God said oh, calmly: "I'll accompany you, just in time to breathe some fresh air."
"you?"
Li Tianlan glanced at Dongcheng Luna with a strange look.
Dongcheng Yueshen, who has a sharp and almost fierce personality, snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Do you have any objections?"
"Shouldn't you go back?"
Li Tianlan said tactfully that it was easier for him to accept Dongcheng's personality, which was peaceful, pure, elegant and noble without any flaws.
"I won't go back."
Dongcheng Moon God shook his head, glanced at Li Tianlan, and said with a half-smile, "If you want to see her, let's do it tomorrow."
Li Tianlan paused, looked at Dongcheng Moon God thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "So I really don't know you exist?"
"That's it for now."
Dongcheng Moon God said calmly.
"But if you stay with me today, when she shows up tomorrow, who can explain to her what happened today?"
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and asked, "We only have seven days, and now is the first day."
"I have my own way."
Dongcheng Luna said calmly and went directly into the bathroom to wash up.
Li Tianlan stood there, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
It wasn't until this moment that he vaguely realized that Dongcheng Rushi did have a split personality, but the Dongcheng Moon God in front of him was no longer Dongcheng Rushi's sub-personality, a dual personality, and two completely independent consciousnesses.
In this sense, when Dongcheng Moon Goddess appeared, she was Dongcheng Moon Goddess, while Dongcheng Rusu was already asleep.
Even if Li Tianlan is not an expert in this field, he still understands how rare it is to have two nearly independent consciousnesses in one body. However, before he can decide whether to study it, there is a knock on the door.
Li Baitian's voice came from outside the door: "Tianlan, are you up?"
Li Tianlan was stunned, responded, walked over and opened the door.
Although the staff of Donghuang Palace have lived together in the same villa for many days, they have not seen each other much. Under the pressure of the general situation, everyone is working hard to improve their strength. Even if they met when they came out of meditation, Li Tianlan could not even remember how long it had been since he last met Li Baitian. When he heard his voice, he felt strange.
Li Baitian, wearing a neat suit, was standing in front of the door, arranging his clothes. Looking at Li Tianlan coming out, he casually said hello: "Good morning."
"morning."
Li Tianlan nodded, looked at Li Baitian who was dressed in an almost grand manner, and said with a somewhat surprised smile: "Are you going on a date dressed like this?"
"It's so stupid to dress like this on a date. Damn it, this thing is so tight that I can't breathe."
Li Baitian tugged on the tie at the collar and said with a wry smile: "There is a meeting today. I am here to say hello to you. All the major forces are participating. You should also be prepared. Someone will probably come to pick you up soon."
He paused, shook his head, and said a little complicatedly: "I really want to go there with you, now... Hey..."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Tianlan smiled and shook his head: "There will always be opportunities in the future."
Although Li Baitian never said it clearly, Li Tianlan knew what the specifications of this so-called meeting were. The decisive battle was imminent. Zhongzhou really needed a meeting of sufficient weight to coordinate all aspects. Currently, there are nearly 2,000 Zhongzhou elites on Long Island. There are only a few people who are qualified to participate in this meeting. Those who can step into the venue are all powerful, status or influential figures.
Li Tianlan and his Donghuang Palace were established not long ago. For a department-level organization, the starting point must not be considered low. However, in the eyes of the big bosses, such an organization is completely a piece of cake. An organization of similar level is, to put it harshly, in Changdao. His status in the battle was no different than cannon fodder. Li Baitian was able to attend this meeting, naturally not because of the existence of Donghuang Palace, but because of Shushan.
Master of Taixu Sword in Shushan Mountain.
This identity is much more important.
Especially under the current situation.
Unlike Yaochi who focuses on border defense and advancing and retreating together with the Dongcheng family, Shushan can be said to be one of the most active transcendental forces in this Zhongzhou conspiracy.
The sword spreads across the southwest!
In the past two months or so, the personnel of the special operations system in the southwest of Central Continent have changed extremely frequently. A considerable number of the leaders of the special operations organizations have been replaced by swordsmen from Shushan. From the southwest border to the southwest inland, there are flashes everywhere. The brilliant sword spirit belonging to Shushan.
The master of Shushan Phantom Sword heads to the southwest border.
Han Chongyang, the master of the Yin Yang Sword, went to Changdao in person.
Shushan has never lacked foundation. Once their thousands of sword intentions explode, both their influence and strength will expand rapidly in a short period of time.
Nowadays, whether it is the border defense in the southwest of Zhongzhou or the battle of Long Island, Shushan has become a force that cannot be ignored. It would be fine if Han Chongyang, the master of the Yin and Yang sword, did not come, but Han Chongyang, the master of the Yin and Yang sword, is here, then Li No matter how young the Taixu Sword Master Baitian is, no one dares to ignore him.
Li Baitian will attend the upcoming meeting as the Master of Shushan Taixu Sword, and Li Tianlan will most likely attend the meeting as the Reincarnation Palace. As for the East Emperor Palace, before it grew up, it was a complete joke in the minds of the big guys.
"Change your clothes."
Li Baitian shook his head: "Today we are all big shots in the domestic special operations system, so we cannot afford to lose. I just received a call, and I guess someone from Samsara will come to pick you up soon."
Li Tianlan nodded, but before he said anything, Dongcheng Luna, who had finished washing, had already walked out of the bathroom and said casually: "Where are you going?"
"There will be a meeting later, and I'll probably go too."
Li Tianlan answered equally casually.
There are two batches of elites sent from Zhongzhou to the East Island. The first batch is relatively simple. Most of them are elites from the special warfare system or freshmen from the special warfare academy. However, the second batch is completely different. There are many with very high status. Extraordinary characters, although the second batch only numbered more than 600 people, the worst ones were all elites from the Burning Fire Realm. Some transcendent or neutral forces such as Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Shushan, Shura Dao, Sighing City, Kunlun City, etc. were also combined. When they come together, this is an extremely powerful force, but it also contains complicated and entangled grievances. It's hard to say how this meeting will turn out.
"I'll go with you."
Dongcheng Yueshen said with a sigh, this is also the difference between her and Dongcheng Ru, direct and almost domineering. When this sentence came out of her mouth, it was more of a notice than a discussion.
Li Tianlan nodded subconsciously, his mind was not on this at all.
The two of them asked and answered questions naturally, but Li Baitian on the side had gradually become dull.
Dongcheng Ruzhi’s fiancé is Li Tianlan.
Before that, not even Ning Qiancheng knew about this news. Although it was no longer a secret, Li Baitian never expected that the two of them would develop so fast. How long had it been? Could it be that the second young lady of the Dongcheng family slept with Tianlan
Damn it, couples who pretend to be unmarried couples are really unscrupulous and overbearing.
Li Baitian's eyes flickered, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of the faint white color at the corner of Dongcheng Luna's mouth. The white color was so small and light that it was hard to see clearly, but the more he looked at it, the more suspicious it became. Li Baitian The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and looking at Li Tianlan, whose expression was still calm, he felt like he wanted to beat to death this bastard who indulged in lust so early in the morning. "I'll go pick out some clothes for you."
Dongcheng Luna said something, wiped away the remaining toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth, turned around and left.
Li Baitian had a strange expression and was speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Another voice sounded suddenly.
Ning Qiancheng's figure walked out of the bedroom not far away, looked at Li Baitian and asked.
"I am worshiping idols. Look at my expression, am I very pious?"
Li Baitian looked at Ning Qiancheng and said.
Ning Qiancheng seemed to be in a very bad mood, and his face was a little gloomy. He frowned inexplicably, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Look, it's this one, take a look."
Li Baitian looked at Li Tianlan with an exaggerated expression: "The strongest divine knight of this century has appeared. Brother Bi, don't you worship me?"
"What a mess."
Li Tianlan and Ning Qiancheng said in unison.
"Goddess Qin, this is what happened in Dongcheng. Wang Yuetong, tsk tsk, whoever can ride the goddess is not a divine knight? Tianlan, you can do it. Originally, I felt pity for you just because Goddess Qin appeared next to you, but in the end, you are the one who can ride the goddess. I want the best in everything. I saw a dragon knight in Master Jin's martial arts novels, but I never thought that I would become brothers with the divine knight. I would be sorry for myself if I didn't worship him."
"Fuck you uncle."
Li Tianlan laughed and cursed, charging forward to kick. Li Baitian was laughing and joking, and disappeared in a flash: "I'll go down and take a look first, and you two can chat."
Li Tianlan shook his head helplessly, looked at the silent Ning Qiancheng and said, "What's wrong? Are you looking so bad so early in the morning?"
"No big deal."
Ning Qiancheng shook his head and said, "There will be a meeting later. Did Baitian tell you about it?"
Li Tianlan hummed, then felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Ning Qiancheng and said, "You also want to participate? What is your status?"
Li Baitian is the master of Shushan Taixu Sword, so it is understandable that he would attend the meeting.
Li Tianlan himself, because of his relationship with Qin Weibai, is currently surrounded by several heavenly kings in reincarnation, and he must also participate.
As for Ning Qiancheng, Li Tianlan really didn't expect it.
"I... I am one of the representatives of the Eastern Theater Command."
Ning Qiancheng said with a gloomy face.
Representatives of the Eastern Theater Command...
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, looked at Ning Qiancheng, and said nothing for a while.
Ning Qiancheng's father, Ning Zhiyuan, is the commander of the Eastern Theater Command of Central Continent, and the Eastern Theater Command's investment in the battle of Changdao is simply unbelievable. Now in terms of specific strength, it is impossible to say which force is the most powerful, but In terms of numbers, the investment in the Eastern Theater Command is unmatched by other forces in Central Continent. Ning Qiancheng has become one of the representatives of the Eastern Theater Command, which means that he has become one of the leaders of the Eastern Theater Command in the East Island conspiracy. one.
"Have you talked to General Ning?"
Li Tianlan asked softly. He was very clear about the conflict between father and son Ning Qiancheng and Ning Zhiyuan. He could not empathize with those old events, but if the father and son could reconcile, it would not be a bad thing in any case.
"No."
Ning Qiancheng's gloomy face showed a little confusion: "The commander called me and asked me to go."
Dongcheng Wudi’s order
Li Tianlan's heart moved, and his eyes instantly became deep.
What does it mean that the commander of the Border Guards Corps is interfering in matters in the Eastern Theater intentionally or unintentionally
Zhongzhou, Dongdao, Nenewaiwai, everything seems to be becoming more and more complicated.
"I see."
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Go down and talk."
Ning Qiancheng hummed, and the two of them went downstairs side by side. No one spoke for a while.
"Commander Dongcheng has a good relationship with General Ning?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
"How can it be better? It's just a nod. At least as far as I know, the two of them had no contact before. At most, they just said hello at a certain meeting."
Ning Qiancheng shook his head gently: "This is the strangest thing to me. More than 80% of the people who invested in Changdao in the Eastern War Zone were my father's confidants. When these people came out, he was in the Eastern Theater The control of the theater will be reduced. The commander-in-chief asked me to be the representative of the eastern theater. It is impossible for him not to know that the result has now been formed... "
He did not continue speaking, but became thoughtful.
Li Tianlan didn't say anything either.
The current situation is really complicated. What is complicated is the struggle in the dark world. What is complicated is the attitude of Dongdao. What is also complicated is the entanglement behind the scenes in Central Continent.
Li Tianlan has now seen some things clearly, but the more he sees, the more he realizes that he cannot see.
When the wind and rain stop, when the sun rises.
Li Tianlan's eyes were still filled with fog.
After seeing off Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng, Li Tianlan stood alone in the yard, enjoying the long-lost sunshine and fresh air, but his mind had already wandered to no one knows where.
The breeze blew gently in the sunshine, bringing with it a gradually burning warmth.
A deep voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Li Tianlan's contemplation.
"Good morning, Master."
Xu Chu, who was as tall as a giant, stood in front of Li Tianlan, his whole body exuding a sense of oppression and power.
"morning."
Li Tianlan opened his eyes and nodded with a smile, but his eyes instinctively moved behind Xu Chu.
Behind Xu Chu, three figures dressed in black were standing quietly, not showing any breath. Under the bright sunlight, darkness seemed to be spreading around the three of them, swallowing everything around them.
"Uncle Master?!"
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled with some surprise: "Are you back from Dongdu?"
Among the three men in black, Zed, who stood in the center, nodded and said in a low voice: "Just arrived."
He didn't wait for Li Tianlan to speak, and continued: "Tianlan, change your clothes. There will be a meeting later, and you can attend it with us."
Li Tianlan's smile suddenly froze on his face.
He knew that he would attend this meeting, but he did not expect that he would be with the City of Sighs instead of the Palace of Reincarnation.
The news was so sudden that he was not mentally prepared at all.
"Uncle Master..."
His smile slowly faded and he said calmly: "Where are the Duke and the others?"
Zed was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "They already left, a few hours ago."
"Everyone left?"
"They all left."
Zed nodded: "But they will attend a meeting for a while, and everything you do in the East Island from now on will be taken care of by the City of Sighs."
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth moved, but nothing came out.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Li Baitian, thought of Ning Qiancheng, and thought of the several reincarnation kings who left without saying goodbye. However, those vivid images, even including the robbery, all turned into Got the chess pieces.
He himself has become a chess piece.
The general trend is like a chessboard, and everyone is a chess piece. In every minor or major turbulence of the situation, all the chess pieces are approaching or moving away uncontrollably.
I can't help myself.
In the dark, he could clearly feel that some things were approaching him, while other things were moving away from him.
It turns out that the further away.
Li Tianlan's expression was calm.
There was bright sunshine above his head, but in his heart, there was a sudden storm, filled with boundless unwillingness and loneliness.
