It’s September in Youzhou.
The early morning sunshine has already brought the feeling of autumn.
The maple leaves in the Hidden Dragon Sea are gradually changing color. The car passes through the clean and tidy roads of the Hidden Dragon Sea. Li Tianlan looks at the sky outside the window through the car window, his eyes as deep as endless clouds and mist.
This is not his first time in Hidden Dragon Sea.
But it was his first time to attend the meeting of Hidden Dragon Sea.
There is no Dongcheng Wudi, no Wei Kunlun, no one around him.
In the nearly four years since he joined the WTO, he alone has become qualified to step into that conference room.
The vehicle moved forward slowly.
The morning breeze blew past, and the surface of the Hidden Sea was slightly rippled.
The contents of the meeting were documented last night and were sent to Prince Yong’s Mansion and everyone at the council level. In fact, Zhongzhou’s work direction for September had been determined at yesterday’s meeting. The contents of today’s meeting are strictly Saying that there is only one thing, sum up Zhongzhou’s gains and losses in Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan flipped through the information in his hand, thinking about the rumors that were not rumors, and he was lost in thought.
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
The young but calm driver stopped the car and warned.
Li Tianlan raised his head.
In sight is an ancient but extremely majestic hall.
The national emblem and the red star flag are fluttering in the wind, solemnly.
Li Tianlan looked at this scene with a strange look in his eyes. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
People were coming and going in front of the main hall.
One by one, powerful members of Congress in Central Continent appeared here.
Secretary and driver are busy.
Li Tianlan sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt outside.
He patted the driver's seat and said softly: "Go back, don't wait for me, I will go back myself."
The driver hesitated, nodded, reversed and turned around, leaving Hidden Dragon Sea.
Li Tianlan stood under a maple tree, looking at the blue sky above his head.
The warm autumn sun casts light spots in the treetops, and the light and shadow fell on him, like a statue.
Li Tianlan watched and was silent for a long time.
"What is your highness thinking?"
A voice suddenly sounded, warm and calm.
Li Tianlan turned around and took a look.
In his sight, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform like him and holding the rank of marshal was standing next to him, smiling calmly.
Deputy Minister of the Zhongzhou Military Department and Chief of General Staff.
Ye Dongsheng, the military god of Zhongzhou.
"Ye Shuai."
Li Tianlan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, naturally.
He still remembers that it was the Central Continent Military God who appeared in Li's camp.
And when he left, he also embarked on the road to Huating.
Well, back then.
Ye Dongsheng's eyes flickered, and he held Li Tianlan's hand with a slight force.
"I'm thinking"
Li Tianlan said softly, patted Ye Dongsheng's shoulder with his other hand, and then pointed at the sky: "Look at the sky, is it different from before?"
Ye Dongsheng's eye muscles twitched, he narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Your Highness seems to have something in mind?"
"No."
Li Tianlan smiled and handed Ye Dongsheng a cigarette and said softly: "I'm just saying that today is a good weather."
"It's really nice weather."
Ye Dongsheng took the cigarette and smiled: "Your Highness, please."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "I'm waiting for someone. Ye Shuai invites you first."
Ye Dongsheng nodded, looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, see you soon."
Li Tianlan hummed.
In sight, a black Audi with a Northeastern license plate drove slowly over.
Li Tianlan waved casually, signaling the other person to stop.
The vehicle stopped in front of Li Tianlan.
The door in the back row opened, and a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance but a sharp and dangerous aura stepped out.
Che looked at Li Tianlan with some surprise: "Young City Master, you..."
Li Tianlan looked at her and thought for a while: "Youmeng?"
"Um."
Youmeng nodded and smiled: "Long time no see, I thought you had forgotten me."
"how come?"
Li Tianlan looked at the back seat of the car, and then looked at the top assassin in Sigh City who had fought alongside him three years ago: "What are you?"
"The city lord is not able to move now. The minister is unconscious. I am the only one who came to attend the meeting on behalf of the Northeast Special Operations Headquarters. The city lord said that this meeting is very important to you. She originally wanted to come in person, but her injuries have been repeated, so ..."
You Meng was about to speak but stopped.
"How is the City Lord's injury?"
Li Tianlan asked subconsciously.
After he finished, he had a video call with Situ Cangyue, and also saw Jie accidentally rescued from Eastern Europe by General Nan, deputy commander of the Central Continent Navy.
Jie's injuries were extremely serious, his foundation was completely destroyed, and he is still unconscious. This debt will naturally be blamed on the Holy See. Situ Cangyue's injuries are also not optimistic, and have even threatened his future fighting power. The chaos in Eastern Europe has caused It was really too tragic. Those who died in the Invincible Realm were injured, and those who survived by chance were destined to need a long period of training.
"It's not very optimistic. She needs to rest. According to our inference, at least for a few years, let alone taking action, she won't even be able to do strenuous exercise."
Youmeng shook his head and apologized: "That's why I'm here this time, but I'm not the city lord or the minister. I only have the right to speak in today's meeting, so I shouldn't be able to help you very much."
Li Tianlan glanced at him silently and said softly: "Go back."
"ah?"
Youmeng looked at Li Tianlan, seemingly unable to react.
"You are wrong."
"The city lord also thought wrong."
Li Tianlan said softly. He turned to look at the door of the conference room where people were coming and going, and chuckled: "I don't need any help now, so go back."
"But... "
You Meng was about to speak but stopped.
"No buts."
Li Tianlan waved his hand, leaving no room for doubt: "But it's rare for you to come to Youzhou. You can go to Prince Yong's Mansion first. His Highnesses Xiaobai and Wei Kunlun are both there. If you have any bottlenecks in martial arts, you can definitely learn from Shushan's swordsmanship. Reply Bar."
"This is an order."
Youmeng bit her lip and whispered: "Today's meeting..."
"I know."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "I know what some people want to say, but I am here today not to attend the meeting."
He pushed Youmeng into the carriage, closed the door, and said to the driver: "Go back to Prince Yong's Mansion."
He glanced at Youmeng and said, "In a few days, everything will be explained."
Audi is slowly turning around.
Li Tianlan watched quietly.
This day was the first time he came to Hidden Dragon Sea to attend a high-level meeting of the decision-making bureau.
He transferred the driver and sent Youmeng away. He also stopped Wei Kunlun, the new invincible master from Central Continent who wanted to attend the meeting with him today, the director of the Southwest Special Operations Headquarters.
Today he is alone.
Looking at the conference room in front of him, he stamped out his cigarette butts and walked slowly over.
"Tian Lan."
"Ah, no, now I should call him Li Shuai, or His Highness? Haha."
An old but energetic voice rang in front of the conference room door, extremely cheerful.
Wu Zhengmin, deputy prime minister of Zhongzhou, walked down the steps in person.
Li Tianlan hurriedly took a few steps forward, held Wu Zhengmin's warm palm, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Wu, these few words of address you use are still pleasant to Tianlan."
Li Tianlan only had respect in his heart for Wu Zhengmin, who had been in ruins for many years but still relied on his unparalleled political wisdom to protect Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Wu Zhengmin laughed and patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder: "Tianlan, you are good, you are very good."
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wu Zhengmin had already waved his hand in the other direction: "Old Bai, Mulin, what are you doing there? Come and chat."
His voice was loud and energetic, he talked and laughed with ease, and many people nearby looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.
On the other side, Bai Zhanfang, who could almost be called the Tu Emperor in Youzhou, shook his head and walked over.
Another person standing with him, Zou Mulin, the real giant of Central Continent, originally wanted to come, but the secretary walked over and said something in his ear. He smiled and cupped his hands in this direction, and nodded to Li Tianlan, Went in another direction.
"Old guy, what are you making a noise about? I heard your loud voice as soon as I came here. It's ridiculous."
Bai Zhanfang walked over with a helpless tone.
Wu Zhengmin snorted coldly and said calmly: "Some people are just arrogant and noisy? I didn't slap him in the face, but I was already giving him face. What is this?"
"Relying on the old and selling the old?"
Bai Zhanfang glanced at him, half-smiling.
Wu Zhengmin was stunned and smiled.
Indeed, among all the senior officials in Zhongzhou, he and Bai Zhanfang are the oldest, one is first and the other is second.
"I'm not talking about us, that old guy is a few years older than us."
Wu Zhengmin said: "Dongnan brought that old guy out to target Tianlan. Lao Bai, you must show an attitude today."
Bai Zhanfang glanced at Li Tianlan, nodded, and was about to speak.
Li Tianlan suddenly said: "Aimed at me?"
"yes."
Bai Zhanfang nodded: "There are several old comrades present at this meeting. They are all senior. They have no scruples about what they say and do because they have retired. The southeast side invited an old guy to come out, just to target you. The achievements over there in Eastern Europe must be suppressed by your contribution.”
"But don't worry, Lao Wu and I can handle it."
"I'm not worried."
Li Tianlan smiled and said softly: "As long as I can stand here today, I am ready to face everything."
"Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Bai."
He looked at the two old men in front of him: "Thank you for today, but no need."
His eyes were firm and indifferent: "Today this is my battlefield, just watch it. In fact, I have thought about this day for many years. When the Li family fell from here, today, I will single-handedly restore the Li family. Lift it up!"
"yourself?"
Bai Zhanfang raised his eyebrows with complicated eyes.
"On my own."
Li Tianlan nodded: "That's enough."
He nodded to the two old men and walked towards the door of the conference room.
"Are you Li Tianlan?"
An old but extremely sharp voice suddenly sounded in Li Tianlan's ears.
Li Tianlan turned his head and raised his eyebrows.
In his sight was an extremely skinny old man, wearing an old Chinese tunic suit and leaning on a cane. He was almost skinny but his eyes were extremely sharp and as sharp as a knife.
Li Tianlan nodded and said in a gentle voice, "I am."
"snort!"
The old man snorted coldly: "I really don't know what Comrade Hua Cheng thinks. Is a young boy worthy of attending a high-level meeting in Central Continent? It's just nonsense!"
The old man raised his crutch and pointed it almost at Li Tianlan's face: "Look at your virtue and ask yourself, are you worthy of the rank of marshal? Hmm? Are you worthy?"
The old man's voice was sharp and loud.
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him and Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan smiled softly, still gentle and calm.
But in this calmness, Bai Zhanfang and Wu Zhengmin clearly saw fighting spirit and madness in his eyes.
"Who can tell me?"
Li Tianlan looked around and laughed slowly. He pointed at the old man in front of him: "What is this old immortal?"
