Since coming to the Dongcheng family, Li Tianlan has encountered nothing but accidents.
The idea that Master Wuwei changed his fate against the will of heaven had already made him a little confused. Now Dongcheng Hanguang told him that the Dongcheng family did not have such a person as Dongcheng Huangtu.
Li Tianlan felt a little bad.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Dongcheng Huangtu is definitely worthy of the title of genius. If such a figure had not died, in a few decades, the reputation of the Dongcheng family could even catch up with the Wang family of Beihai. However, such a genius died in siege and betrayal. It is definitely the most painful scar for the Dongcheng family.
When Li Tianlan mentioned the Dongcheng Emperor Picture, he could understand and accept that the Dongcheng family members would be angry, sad, or in pain, but what he didn't expect was that Dongcheng Hanguang would say that he had never heard of this person.
Li Tianlan naturally didn't believe this. Not to mention how weird Dongcheng Hanguang's reaction was, even Qin Weibai couldn't lie to him, and there was no need to make up a non-existent genius to fool him.
A taboo in Middle-earth
Li Tianlan was thoughtful, what does the past and death of Dongcheng Huangtu mean
"Have you really never heard of this man?"
Li Tianlan refused to give up and asked again. At first, wanting to know about the Imperial Map of Dongcheng was just an interest of his, but now his curiosity was aroused. What did he do back then? Everyone claims that there is no such person as him, which is simply incredible.
"No."
Dongcheng Hanguang's voice was hoarse, his eyes were blank and a little confused. From an angle that Li Tianlan couldn't see, he chuckled and said calmly: "Tianlan, where did you hear this name? About this person , what else do you know?"
"From a friend, senior Huang Tu was besieged and fell..."
"Snapped!"
Before Li Tianlan finished speaking, Dongcheng Hanguang's hand on the white jade railing suddenly tightened.
The jade railing shattered into powder in his palm, and the powder slid down his palm, fluttering, and was blown away by the wind.
Dongcheng Hanguang's face was expressionless and pale.
Li Tianlan subconsciously shut up. The old man reacted like this. It was obviously inappropriate to continue talking about the Dongcheng Imperial Picture.
But this dead genius has already taken root in his heart, and has given rise to countless possibilities.
"Any more?"
Dongcheng Hanguang suddenly asked.
Li Tianlan glanced at him and shook his head, but suddenly thought in his heart, since Dongcheng Huangtu was besieged and betrayed to death, then who was besieging him? Who betrayed him? Are these enemies of the Dongcheng family or his own enemies
Will the Dongcheng family and myself have the same enemies
If the answer is yes, then Li Tianlan seems to have found a way to take advantage of the situation even if he doesn't marry Dongcheng.
Within sight, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into the courtyard along the mountain road and stopped in front of the main entrance of the villa.
The car door opened, and Dongcheng Wudi and Lei Shen, who had left at the foot of the mountain a few hours ago, got out of the car. Also getting off with them was a very beautiful woman.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment.
Is this what Dongcheng is like
Not quite.
The woman looks about twenty-five or six years old, plump and soft, with gentle eyes. She wears a pair of very delicate gold-rimmed glasses, and has a light smile hanging at the corner of her mouth. Every move she makes reveals a kind of inner joy. Externally stable and calm.
Dongcheng, who is nineteen years old this year, can be described as a girl, but the person in front of him is most appropriately described as a beautiful young woman.
"Let's go down and eat."
Dongcheng Hanguang glanced down, and spoke in a low tone. It seemed that the mention of the Dongcheng Imperial Picture had affected his mood.
Li Tianlan felt a little apologetic in his heart and followed Dongcheng Hanguang downstairs in silence.
The two of them walked out of the elevator almost at the same time.
The three Dongcheng Wudi also happened to walk into the villa.
Seeing his father and Li Tianlan, Dongcheng Wudi was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly and called dad softly.
Thor did not follow.
The beautiful young woman Li Tianlan had just seen smiled and called her grandpa.
She glanced at Li Tianlan and nodded with a smile. The smile was warm and elegant. It was a kind of pure gentleness that could only be found in women. It was like a clear spring, sweet and sweet, which was irresistible.
Li Tianlan's heart sank.
Is this really what Dongcheng is like
This attitude is a bit inappropriate.
Next to him, Dongcheng Hanguang hummed, his mood was low, but he did not forget to introduce him, and said calmly: "Tianlan, this is my granddaughter, Dongcheng Qiuchi, you can call her sister from now on, she is working in Huating now, you can help me if you need anything in the future Find her."
"Hello, Sister Qiuchi."
Li Tianlan felt slightly relieved, took the initiative to reach out his hand and smiled.
According to his understanding, although the Dongcheng family is still in charge of Dongcheng Hanguang, the old man only cares about the general direction. In fact, the patriarch of the Dongcheng family has become Dongcheng Invincible. This top wealthy family in the Central Plains can be regarded as prosperous, but Dongcheng Invincible has There are only two daughters. The one in front of me is undoubtedly the eldest daughter, and the younger daughter is Dong Cheng.
Although Dongcheng Qiuchi looks young, he must be close to thirty years old or even in his early thirties.
Is it because Dongcheng Wudi has no son that the old man gave the Dongcheng family to his son-in-law as a dowry
Even if it is handed over to people from other branches, it seems better than handed over to outsiders, right
Work in Huating
Li Tianlan was a little curious and didn't know what Dongcheng Qiuchi was doing in Huating.
"Hello Tianlan, let's leave your contact information later. If you have anything, you can call me anytime. I'm not far from your campus."
Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled and stretched out her little hand to shake Li Tianlan's hand. She was a woman who was gentle and elegant to the core. She spoke softly and was extremely comfortable to get along with.
Li Tianlan smiled and nodded.
"What if?"
Dongcheng Hanguang suddenly asked: "Why don't you come to eat?"
The smile in his eyes flashed away, and he chuckled: "What? Is that girl still shy?"
Li Tianlan's body stiffened slightly.
He didn't know how he felt about the fiancée he had never met.
Dongcheng Wudi was also a little embarrassed. The majestic Zhongzhou Killer God avoided looking in front of the old man and whispered: "So I just returned to Youzhou."
"what happened?"
Dongcheng Ru was a little confused: "Didn't you say it well? Why did you go back suddenly?"
My precious granddaughter said yesterday that she wanted to meet her fiancé, but when he came, she left. What kind of trouble was this
Dongcheng Wudi became increasingly embarrassed and glanced at Li Tianlan subconsciously.
In fact, it is not that Dongcheng is unwilling at all. Dongcheng Wudi is very clear about the marriage contract between the two families. Her daughter may be a little confused and uneasy in her heart, but there is not much resistance, and she even acquiesces. At least she does not resent the two of them first. After trying to get along for a while, I blamed myself for being too excited. When I picked up my daughter, I spilled the beans and unconsciously mentioned Li Tianlan's girlfriend, and then things turned out like this.
In such a scene, it would not be wrong to say that the daughter was jealous, but the grievance was definitely there. The corners of Dongcheng Wudi's lips moved, and his heart was in a mess. If this matter was not handled well, maybe it was just a knot in his heart.
"There's something urgent going on over there in Youzhou, so I have to rush back. She said she would go to Huating to find Tianlan in a while."
Dongcheng Wudi explained half-truthfully.
In fact, Dongcheng Ru also said that she did not want to get engaged too early. She hoped to put her wedding with Li Tianlan after graduation. However, Dongcheng Wudi did not dare to say this. If she did, she might face the wrath of the old man, not just the old man. , even Dongcheng Wudi himself can’t wait for the marriage of these two children.
"Forget it, let's eat first."
Dongcheng Hanguang was even more confused and walked directly to the restaurant without asking any questions.
The breakfast was depressing and silent.
Li Tianlan sat down next to the God of Thunder and just ate and drank.
Dongcheng Hanguang was absent-minded and stopped moving his chopsticks after drinking a bowl of porridge. When Li Tianlan put down his bowl and chopsticks, he also stood up and said calmly: "Qiuchi, take Tianlan to rest and let him live at Ruzhi's place. I'll tell you later." Give Ru Shi a call and ask about the situation."
"OK."
Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled gently, looked at Li Tianlan and said, "Follow me."
Li Tianlan greeted Dongcheng Hanguang, his son, and Thor in turn before walking out of the villa.
Dongcheng Qiuchi waited quietly outside. When he saw Li Tianlan coming out, he smiled and looked him up and down with strange eyes and said nothing.
Li Tianlan's heart ached so much. Could it be that this woman thought that she was a pretty boy who was greedy for the power of the Dongcheng family
The corner of his mouth moved, and just when he was about to speak, Dongcheng Qiuchi, who was gentle to the core, chuckled softly: "Tianlan, do you know how to be nicer to my sister in the future? Otherwise, I will deal with you. You are in Huating, and it will be very difficult for me to deal with you." It’s convenient.”
Sister, I have never even met your sister. Is it too early to say this
Li Tianlan complained in his heart and said casually: "What kind of job does Sister Qiuchi do in Huating?"
"Head of Wudong New District."
Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled and said: "Even your Sky Academy is within the scope of Wudong New District. Although we can't control it, we can still exert influence."
Mayor of Wudong New District.
Li Tianlan looked at Dongcheng Qiuchi with a gentle smile in front of him, and couldn't connect this position with her. In Huating, Wudong New District can be said to be the most important district. The top leaders are usually held by standing committee members. A high-ranking official at the level of deputy governor, and a very valuable one.
If you put it this way, isn't Dongcheng Qiuchi, the second-in-command, only one step away from the Standing Committee
I don’t know if she is thirty years old this year.
"The Dongcheng family is really full of talents. It is worthy of being a family that has produced geniuses."
Li Tianlan sighed softly, but he was carefully observing Dongcheng Qiuchi's expression from the corner of his eye.
Dongcheng Hanguang refused to reveal anything, so Dongcheng Qiuchi should know something, right
The Emperor of the East City is her uncle
"Tianjiao? What kind of genius?"
Dongcheng Qiuchi was stunned for a moment and said curiously.
"Your Highness Dongcheng Huangtu, isn't he a genius?"
Li Tianlan asked seriously. It's not that he didn't know that he shouldn't ask this question, but he didn't know why about this person. He always wanted to know more about him almost instinctively.
Dongcheng Qiuchi looked confused. That was true confusion, not a superficial emotion hidden behind sadness, anger and pain.
She looked at Li Tianlan and asked curiously: "Who is the Emperor of Dongcheng?"
------
When Li Tianlan walked out of the villa, Dongcheng Hanguang also called Dongcheng Wudi and Lei Shen into his study.
In the study, the old man finally stopped hiding his feelings and his expression became gloomy.
Dongcheng Wudi coughed dryly. Looking at his father's face, he didn't dare to speak. He just gave the God of Thunder a wink.
The God of Thunder twitched slightly, looked at Dongcheng Wudi, opened his mouth, and made no sound, but the shape of his mouth was clear: "Your uncle."
Dongcheng Wudi glared and clenched his fists, his eyes flashing fiercely.
The God of Thunder was immediately frightened. Looking at Dongcheng Hanguang who was sitting silently on the chair, he took the initiative to speak and said with a dry smile: "Godfather, if that girl really has something urgent in Youzhou, don't be angry. I'll definitely do it after she's done with it." Go to Huating to find Tianlan."
"Not because of this."
Dongcheng Hanguang shook his head, suddenly looked at the God of Thunder, and said in a deep voice: "Leizi, when you took Tianlan to the desert, did you say anything to him that shouldn't be said?"
The God of Thunder was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself: "Shouldn't you say it?"
He then shook his head and affirmed: "No."
"Dad, what's going on?"
Dongcheng Wudi picked up the tea cup and gave Dongcheng Wudi a glass of water and asked.
"Just now, when we were on the rooftop, Tianlan asked me a question."
Dongcheng Hanguang frowned tightly and said in a serious voice: "He wants to know something about Huang Tu back then? Something about that year?"
"Snapped!"
Dongcheng Wudi shook his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the floor, shattering into pieces.
"How can this be?!"
The look of the Central Continent commander who could be calm and composed no matter what he faced changed drastically, and he subconsciously raised his voice.
"How did he know about the imperial map?"
Dongcheng Hanguang glanced at him and said nothing.
"Aren't you curious about what that kid meant back then?"
Thor suddenly spoke: "What does he know?"
"He said that Huang Tu was besieged back then... How on earth did he know this name? There's something wrong with this kid."
Dongcheng Hanguang whispered, his face dark, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"It's not that there's something wrong with him, it's that something's wrong with Qin Weibai, it can only be her!"
Dongcheng Wudi suddenly spoke.
Qin Weibai
Dongcheng Hanguang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is it the reincarnation person?"
"That's Tianlan's girlfriend. It can only be Tianlan who she told."
Dongcheng Wudi nodded, and the mention of Qin Weibai gave him an even greater headache.
What is all this mess
"The key is how did Qin Weibai know the imperial map? How could she know?"
Thor sounded confused.
"From the current point of view, only she knows, not Tianlan himself, right?"
Dongcheng Wudi asked back.
The study room suddenly became silent.
The three of them looked at each other, and they could all see a trace of panic and fear in each other's eyes.
"Go check it out."
Dongcheng Hanguang suddenly said: "I'm afraid she knows more than this. Send someone to investigate and find out what's going on."
"Dad, let me go and talk to her myself."
Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath and said calmly.
Dongcheng Hanguang glanced at him, nodded and said, "Be cautious."
Dongcheng Wudi hummed: "Dad, where is Master Wuwei?"
"It's okay, don't worry."
Dongcheng Hanguang forced a smile. The name Dongcheng Huangtu had almost confused the three of them. Telling him Master Wuwei's opinion of Li Tianlan at this time would only make him even more confused.
A pleasant cell phone ringtone rang.
Lei Shen was stunned for a moment and quickly took out his cell phone to answer the call.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said. Thor hung up the phone with a calm expression.
"Godfather, Marshal, there is news from the desert."
Dongcheng Hanguang narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Wang Shengxiao?"
Wang Shengxiao, the heir to the Beihai Wang family, has been known as a young genius in recent years. He is about to break through the Burning Fire Realm and enter the Thunder Realm. Wang Tianzong took him on a journey to the desert, attracting the attention of almost all the major forces.
Everyone knows that there is a whetstone of the best quality for the Burning Fire Realm in the desert. Whether Wang Shengxiao can successfully break through during this trip is something that all the major forces are concerned about.
Thor nodded: "It ends in a draw."
Dongcheng Hanguang nodded and sneered silently.
"It's not even close to Tianlan back then."
The God of Thunder chuckled, his eyes pleased: "I just don't know if the man from Kunlun City dares to go to the desert."
"he?"
Dongcheng Wudi sneered: "If he goes there, he will never come back. One life for another. This business makes a lot of money."
