Li Tianlan was not worried that the Liu family would not cooperate.
Li Tianlan knows how unreliable the so-called loyalty and power obtained by pure violence are, and so does Liu Tianjing.
The Liu family's acting style has always been calm and calm, good at compromise and forbearance. Such a family is undoubtedly less bloody and is even despised in many cases, but it is undeniable that such a family is also the most powerful. of.
Since Liu Tianjing chose to kneel down, it meant that he was sure to use the bargaining chip to make Li Tianlan temporarily trust them, and this was what Li Tianlan needed most.
If it hadn't been for that sword that overdrawn his vitality, Li Tianlan might have chosen to play slowly with the Liu family. He is calm and cautious by nature, and it is not impossible to take risks and gamble, but he is not willing to do so when there is a safer way. Go for the most dangerous method.
But as his vitality and potential were completely overdrawn, Li Tianlan changed. In front of Mo Lu, he became murderous and cold-blooded, and his thoughts became more and more crazy.
Faced with the Liu family's revenge, he came to the door without any hesitation. Such a drastic move was undoubtedly a risk, but Li Tianlan felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He was just gambling with the lives of the Liu family and the whole family. .
If the Liu family were stronger, Li Tianlan would never mind leaving the other family alone. Because a senior official at the deputy governor level was involved, the senior officials of Zhongzhou would definitely be furious. Layers of pressure would be transmitted to Huating. No matter how clean Li Tianlan was, he would be punished. If the truth is found out bit by bit, the academy will never stand up for him because of this matter. Samsara and Sigh City are also beyond their reach. Li Tianlan doesn't know how the Dongcheng family will react, and he doesn't want to know.
In his current state, he doesn't seem to have any capital to consider the future. His purpose of coming to the Liu family this time is very clear, either to be a dog or to hit the road.
Under the absolute threat of violence, will the Liu family make sacrifices for the sake of future survival? Or are you willing to die for the hatred of the past
Looking at Liu Tianjing and others who were kneeling silently at the dining table, Li Tianlan's eyes were calm, and the answer seemed obvious.
This is the best result for both parties, and it is also the result that Li Tianlan wants most.
As a mature wealthy family with nearly a hundred years of development, the Liu family gave up their grudges, hatred, and loyalty when the whole family was facing death. This was the most realistic, mature, cruel, and possible outcome.
The fish is dead and the net is broken
Li Tianlan is determined, but the Liu family does not have the courage.
"Tell me, Mr. Liu, how should I trust you?"
The smell of blood filled the living room, and Li Tianlan ate his meal slowly and in a calm tone.
As an important part of the special operations group, the Liu family is also one of the important peripheral forces in Kunlun City. Liu Tianqing was an invincible powerhouse at his peak before his death. It is impossible for such a family to have no secrets.
If the Liu family can come up with a secret that allows him to trust him temporarily, Li Tianlan's move that seems risky but is not a huge gamble will be considered a right one.
"Winter Rain."
Liu Tianjing suddenly said: "Go to your father's study. There is a mechanism under the third grid on the right side of the bookcase. There are three password walls behind the mechanism. The passwords on the first two walls are your grandfather's death date and your father's ID number. , the third wall is your brother’s and your lunar birthdays. You go in and take out the things inside.”
Liu Dongyu, who was waiting for Li Tianlan to eat, was stunned for a moment, but his first reaction was to look at Li Tianlan subconsciously.
"Go ahead."
Li Tianlan waved his hand casually. He had now stepped through the thunder realm with one foot. With his current strength, at least he didn't need to worry about anything in the Liu family.
Liu Dongyu quickly went upstairs with a confused look in his eyes.
Liu Tianjing knelt on the spot, his expression painful and desolate.
"Something important?"
Li Tianlan looked at Liu Tianjing with a half-smile.
"It's not as important as the survival of the Liu family."
Liu Tianqing's tone was a little numb.
Li Tianlan looked at him deeply and said nothing.
The old mayor of Huating did have the wisdom to compromise. The Liu family almost surrendered as a whole. This was even a much better result than he had expected before he came. He thought that even if the Liu family would compromise, it would be nothing left. It happened after a few people.
Who would have thought that Liu Tianjing would be so straightforward
Only a few people from the Liu family branch died, and the old man knelt down before the main branch was moved.
Act calmly and calmly...
Recalling what Li Baitian said when he told him Liu's address, Li Tianlan smiled. He was indeed calm enough. He was so calm and rational that it was chilling.
Liu Dongyu's charming figure disappeared from the second floor of the villa. Li Tianlan looked at the direction she left, thoughtfully, and his intuition told him that what Liu Dongyu brought back this time was definitely extraordinary.
The footsteps upstairs disappeared for less than three minutes, and then sounded again. The sound of stiletto heels hitting the steps of the villa was clear and light. Liu Dongyu trotted downstairs with a square metal box about fifty or sixty centimeters in his arms.
The box was an inconspicuous gray-white color and looked extremely old and unremarkable. There was no password on it, only a small screen. The screen was dim and it had obviously not been opened yet.
Liu Dongyu came to the restaurant and handed the box directly to Li Tianlan.
The corner of Liu Tianjing's mouth twitched, and his heart became more and more sad. In the past few minutes, he had been suffering in his heart. He hoped that Liu Dongyu could escape with the box, but also hoped that she would come down quickly with the box. Now the result is clear, and he is thinking It doesn't make any sense anymore.
"Bring your father over here. You need his fingerprints and eye mask to open the box."
Liu Tianjing ordered with a calm voice.
Liu Dongyu did not hesitate this time and opened the box according to his method.
Inside the box is a small wooden box.
Liu Dongyu took out the wooden box, placed it in front of Li Tianlan, and stood beside him again.
"This is a gift from the Liu family to Young Master Li, and it is also the biggest secret of the Liu family."
Liu Tianjing looked at the box in front of him in despair, and said in a dry tone.
Li Tianlan nodded, opened the box and was stunned.
In the field of vision, a soft light shines in the box, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable.
This is a piece of jade about the size of a fist, with a perfect shape, crystal clear, and milky white. Several ancient characters with complex structures are neatly engraved on the jade. The light of the jade is soft and calm, and it looks holy and solemn.
Li Tianlan grabbed it casually and took a look at it. He didn't recognize the ancient characters. He just thought it was something similar to a seal, like an antique. He frowned slightly, looked at Liu Tianjing and said, "What's written on it?"
The corners of Liu Tianjing's mouth trembled, and his voice was desolate: "Those are ancient characters from the Qin Dynasty."
He looked into Li Tianlan's eyes and said word by word: "As ordered by God, you will live forever!"
Both Liu Dongyu and the other kneeling Liu family members suddenly changed their expressions and raised their heads at the same time.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
Everyone knows clearly what these eight characters represent in the history of Central Continent.
Even Li Tianlan, who has lived on the border since childhood, has heard of these eight words.
"NCM?"
Li Tianlan pinched the jade in his hand, looked at Liu Tianjing and asked.
"This is the imperial seal."
Liu Tianjing said bitterly: "The folk saying of cutting a wall into a seal does not exist at all. He's Bi and the Chuanguo Jade Seal are completely different things. The piece in Mr. Li's hand is the Chuanguo Jade Seal that has long been lost in history."
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Based on the Liu family, I'm afraid they won't be able to get such a thing, right?"
"This is... "
Liu Tianjing's body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This should belong to Kunlun City. Back then, Gu Qingfeng found the imperial seal in a certain ruins, but he didn't have time to take it back to Kunlun City. Instead, my brother secretly took it back to Liu Tianjing. Home, my brother can reach the invincible state because of this thing."
"Gu Qingfeng?"
Li Tianlan asked with interest.
"Gu Qingfeng is the invincible expert of the previous generation in Kunlun City. He is also the father of Gu Qianchuan, the current elder of Kunlun City. My brother's teacher at the time."
Liu Tianjing became more and more fluent as he spoke. The Chuan Guo Jade Seal had changed hands. In order to survive, there was nothing he could not say now: "Gu Qingfeng was ambushed and seriously injured just after he got the Chuan Guo Jade Seal. When he was about to die, he was attacked by my brother. The national jade seal was in the hands of the Liu family, and for decades, Kunlun City didn’t even know about it.”
"Sneak attack on your own teacher?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of meaning in his tone that no one could understand.
"What teacher?!"
Liu Tianjing's tone was a little ferocious: "Gu Qingfeng completely regarded my brother as a servant, a slave. He has unique skills. If you give me casual advice, how could my brother barely enter the Burning Fire Realm at the age of thirty-five? A late bloomer? It's all bullshit! My brother's talent would have been invincible if he met a famous teacher! He is a bullshit teacher."
"Later, even when my brother entered the Thunder Realm, it was all thanks to senior Gu Yinshan's secret help. He was as grateful as a mountain to my brother. He asked my brother to kill Gu Qingfeng. How could my brother refuse?"
Li Tianlan frowned slightly.
Liu Dongyu, who was always paying attention to Li Tianlan's expression, said softly: "Gu Yinshan is Gu Xingyun's uncle, and he is now dead. Twenty years ago, Gu Xingyun's lineage could only be regarded as a branch, and Gu Qianchuan's lineage was. Direct lineage, but because Gu Qingfeng died early and Gu Xingyun entered the invincible realm early, the highest power in Kunlun City is now in the hands of Gu Xingyun. But even so, Gu Xingyun has always been in Youyou Instead, he handed over most of the affairs of Kunlun City to Gu Qianchuan, which may also be his way of calming down internal conflicts."
There was silence in the restaurant.
Everyone in the Liu family looked pale and their eyes were frightened.
When this news, which only Liu Tianjing and Liu Xiuyuan knew in the past, was revealed now, everyone knew what the consequences would be if it were exposed.
If Gu Qingfeng had not died back then, even if Gu Xingyun entered the invincible realm, the dominance of Kunlun City would not fall into Gu Xingyun's hands.
Once this news leaks out, regardless of what happens inside Kunlun City, either Gu Xingyun or Gu Qianchuan will immediately tear the Liu family to pieces in order to silence or take revenge.
This bargaining chip was so important that as they handed over the imperial seal, the fate of everyone in the Liu family could be said to have been completely controlled by Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan held the jade seal and remained silent.
"I sent someone to kill you today because I received an order from Gu Qianchuan. It is already known to everyone that you deposed Zhong Shaofeng. Gu Qianchuan wanted to use your death to provoke conflicts between other groups and the Prince Group. In recent years, the Prince Group Although they are very close to the Special Operations Group, the former's dependence on Kunlun City has become smaller and smaller. But for the time being, it seems that the Special Operations Group still needs the help of the Prince Group. Once you die, the Prince Group will continue to be under pressure. By cooperating with Kunlun City, they will be able to get more benefits."
Liu Tianjing simply told everything he knew: "Of course, this is just Gu Qianchuan's superficial explanation. As for whether he has other purposes, I don't know. As far as I know, a big figure in the invincible realm outside the country has already been there a week ago. Then we came to Huating, Gu Qianchuan’s visit to Huating seemed a little strange.”
"What do you want to say?"
Li Tianlan suddenly spoke.
Liu Tianjing paused, and then said calmly: "I just have some conclusions that I have speculated without evidence."
Kunlun City, Gu Qianchuan, the invincible figure outside the country, the disappearance of Wang Yuetong...
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "A big shot in the invincible realm outside the country? Who?"
"The second master of the Jiang family abroad, Jiang Qianqian, codenamed Black Hand, ranks sixth on the holy list. Of course, without taking the fierce soldier, Jiang Qianqian is qualified to use the Jiang family's fierce soldier Qin Shimingyue. Once he takes the When Qin Shimingyue comes to Central Continent, the fighting power will only become more terrifying."
Liu Tianjing whispered.
Jiang's fierce soldiers Qin Shimingyue!
This is the name of the third fierce weapon that Li Tianlan has heard.
A strong man in the invincible realm holds fierce weapons, and his strength almost doubles.
Li Tianlan had no interest in the Jiang family. He was just wondering if Jiang Qianqian came to Zhongzhou with Qin Shi Mingyue, would he have the power to abduct Wang Yuetong
Are the Jiang family and the Wang family in Beihai non-aggression? Or are they hostile to each other
Li Tianlan held the jade seal in his hand and suddenly said: "Go and do something, let all the curtains move, and thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Wang Yuetong."
His heart twitched, and he continued: "You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!"
Liu Tianjing silently picked up the phone and ordered to go down, then continued to kneel on the ground without saying a word.
"Did Liu Tianqing take part in my father's treason? How much do you know?"
Li Tianlan played with the jade seal in his hand, looked at Liu Tianjing who put down the phone, and asked suddenly.
"I am not sure."
Liu Tianjing shook his head: "My brother just entered the invincible realm and was seriously injured when he came back. He never told me about that incident."
Li Tianlan glanced at Liu Tianjing, but did not ask further questions. The treason case back then, from the beginning to the aftermath, was a smooth and smooth process, and the truth was deeply hidden. Even if Liu Tianjing was Liu Tianqing's biological brother, it was normal for him not to know about this.
"Let's talk about the national jade seal."
Li Tianlan placed the jade seal on the table, and before he could continue speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Li Tianlan looked at the number, stood up suddenly, and answered the call without hesitation.
On the phone, a clear and anxious voice sounded, a little uneasy and pitiful.
"You... where have you been?"
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly: "Where are you again?"
"I'm in Yonghua Villa, Building 9."
On the phone, the voice continued to ring: "Come quickly."
