When the taxi stopped in front of the sanatorium, the blazing sunset had disappeared, and the icy chill was enveloped by the night. He got out of the car and quietly looked at the warm lights in the sanatorium in front of him. He stayed there and just It's like falling into memories.
On the bustling street, dense traffic flowed by. He stood quietly, facing the direction of the sanatorium a little tired and confused, like a travel-traveled passerby.
I can't tell you exactly why I came here. It was all an instinctive reaction. When I got the news about her, I didn't think about it, didn't hesitate, and didn't make a choice.
I wanted to come, so I came.
The East Palace is different from Kunlun City.
Li Tianlan is also different from Gu Xingyun.
So he knew very well that he couldn't just watch silently like before. If he didn't want to lose again, he could only try his best to fight for it.
The surging memories are like a surging tide carrying unparalleled power in the night.
That kind of power held him firmly here, and all the pictures in his mind were like a long, illusory past.
Scenes from the past flickered silently.
He laughed.
The clearest thing in his memory is not the first meeting between him and her, nor the reluctant entanglement that they had been close to several times but finally far away from, but that cold winter, in that gloomy palace, in front of countless people, she Floating quietly on the beams of the bedroom.
Wearing a plain white dress, a simple wooden hairpin, without any extra decoration, and with a plain face, on a most ordinary day, at an ordinary time, she quietly hanged herself in the bedroom. .
So quiet, so indifferent.
On that day that year, her figure swayed before his eyes, like a sharp knife, piercing the flesh, chest, and heart, seeming to tear his whole body into countless bloody pieces.
In my memory, it was a tragic world that could no longer be described as tragic.
Some families were broken up, some were separated from their wives, some were betrayed, and some died without a complete body. One after another, people who stood at the top fell down with endless glory and scenery. Now when I think about it again, no one can escape intact, and the memories are full of them. It was all about death, blood, and betrayal, and each one came to a desolate end, leaving the scene miserably. Those who died could not rest in peace, and those who lived were worse than dead. It was an era full of darkness and cold tones.
As a survivor of that era, he was undoubtedly lucky.
Lucky enough to watch his beloved woman die in someone else's bedroom.
Fortunately, he watched his father, whom he admired, dig out his heart with his own hands.
I was lucky enough to see that everything I had and worked for was easily crushed into dust under the general trend.
How lucky
The luckiest thing is that he is still alive and has the opportunity to change everything.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the overflowing thoughts bit by bit, moved forward slowly, took out his cell phone and made a call.
The call was answered quickly.
The saint's somewhat surprised voice rang out: "Jiang Shangyu?"
"I am honored that my name can appear in His Highness's address book."
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly.
The saint remained calm, calmed down his emotions, and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
No matter how low-key Jiang Shangyu is, no one dares to say that Jiang Shangyu is a nobody.
Overnight, he went from the burning realm to half-invincible, and reached the sky in one step.
One of the most dazzling young people in Zhongzhou today, the son of Jiang Shan.
Military general and former deputy commander of the Snow Dance Corps.
Regardless of his identity, no one would think that he was a nobody. The saints would naturally write down his contact information. Not only him, but the name Jiang Shangyu was also marked as an important person even in Li Huacheng's address book.
"I'm at the entrance of Youzhou Nursing Home."
Jiang Shangyu's smile was gentle. Under the night, it was a smile that made people feel warm when looking at it: "I want to go in and visit Ms. Li Xi, um, and Qingcheng..."
On the phone, the saint was silent for a moment.
"If His Highness wants to report to His Majesty Li Tianlan, I can wait."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly, his posture was neither high nor low, and when he talked about Li Tianlan, he naturally used the title "Your Majesty" so that no one could feel the slightest malice.
Jiang Shangyu has always been a little strange about his position.
After the chaos in Snow Country, his declaration that his wings were hardened was undoubtedly tantamount to officially parting ways with Kunlun City.
Similarly, his relationship with the Beihai Wang family is not good.
The relationship with Li Tianlan is even more average.
No one in Zhongzhou would ignore the existence of Jiang Shangyu, but seriously speaking, it seems that no one really regards him as an enemy.
The saints were not very sure about their relationship with Jiang Shangyu for a while. The major forces, including the Eastern Palace, might be wary of him, but when it came to hostility, there seemed to be little to say. Even after today's events in Northern Xinjiang, It was still the same after the incident. The nursing home was not a forbidden place. Jiang Shangyu wanted to come in to visit Li Xi. He followed the normal procedure and said hello to the saint. The saint could not find any reason to refuse.
"unnecessary."
The saint said slowly: "I will say hello to the guard, you can register and just come in."
"Thanks."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and hung up the phone.
Registration is easy, and entering the nursing home is smooth.
Walking through the tree-lined path in front of the sanatorium, at the end of the road, the military advisor was standing there quietly. When he saw Jiang Shangyu approaching, he nodded slightly: "I asked Li Xi."
The saint said calmly: "She agreed to see you."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said, "Thank you."
The saint turned around and led the way. After taking two steps, he suddenly asked:
"Do you know what happened in Northern Xinjiang?"
"I know."
Jiang Shangyu nodded matter-of-factly: "Huang Tong made such a fuss that he deserved his death. His Majesty Donghuang did a beautiful job. In fact, before I came, my father asked me to say thank you to His Majesty."
Even before the blockade, Huang Tong's military rank was only the same as Jiang Shangyu's. Now with his death, the military has confirmed his treason, so he will naturally not be polite when talking about Huang Tong.
"Thanks?"
The saint repeated: "Thank you..."
His tone was a little playful and a little sinister: "Indeed, it is necessary for the congressman to say thank you to His Majesty."
"If His Majesty is in a nursing home, I will tell him face to face."
Jiang Shangyu's smile did not change.
The saint looked at him deeply, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Is this what the congressman meant?"
"I don't know what you mean."
Jiang Shangyu said with a smile.
"You, the Jiang family, want to conquer Northern Xinjiang in one go. You are very ambitious, but have you not considered the problem of not being able to eat it?"
The saint remained calm.
If he was facing Jiang Shan, no matter how well-educated the saint was, he would inevitably mock him, but when facing Jiang Shangyu, he had no such idea at all.
This may also be the characteristic of Jiang Shangyu.
He has also been domineering, but on some sensitive matters, he has never been able to infinitely reduce his sense of existence to a level that is not noticeable at all.
“We never consider problems that don’t exist.”
The voice of the rain on the river is soft, and there are needles hidden in the cotton.
In other words, there is no possibility of not being able to conquer Northern Xinjiang
The saint raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "I have been thinking about it for a while, but I still can't figure out who you can rely on. If you don't have a strong enough backer, even if the Jiang family can barely conquer Northern Xinjiang now, sooner or later They will also spit it out. It is impossible for the Parliament to keep Northern Xinjiang in this state for a long time, and His Majesty does not want to see this situation. When the time comes, what will you do to stop it? In other words, what will the backers behind you do to stop it? "
"It is certain that Zhongzhou does not like to see the current situation, but the situation in northern Xinjiang is sensitive, and the parliament does need someone who can handle various matters in an all-round way, and in a short period of time, Zhongzhou's eyes are destined to focus on His Majesty Li Tianlan and Chen Fangqing may be adding another ancient saying. Compared with Northern Xinjiang, this is the most important thing. The parliament cannot take care of us in a short time. This precious time is what we have to fight for. Only time can make the layout.”
Jiang Shangyu's confession was a bit surprising. He smiled and suddenly said: "Your Highness, what do you think of the game between the Eastern Palace, the Beihai Wang Family, the Prince Group and the Special War Group?"
The saint was stunned for a moment, then laughed a little weirdly: "Game? Is the special operations group still qualified to participate in the game?"
Jiang Shangyu was dumbfounded for a while, then he laughed and said: "Indeed, after today's incident, Gu Xingyun's prestige has fallen to the bottom, and the special operations group has almost been eliminated."
Gu Xingyun's failure undoubtedly had extremely serious consequences, but what was even more serious was that he lost to the rising Li Tianlan when the special operations group was caught in a treasonous storm.
The relationship between Kunlun City and the Burning Legion is still unclear. With Gu Xingyun's defeat, the foundation of Kunlun City will be torn apart.
Game
Now it seems that this term is almost a joke when applied to Kunlun Chen.
"So, isn't the answer obvious?"
The saint spoke slowly.
"Heroes think alike."
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while, and then smiled implicitly: "The special warfare group is out, and the Prince Group is destined to be alone. The East Palace and Beihai Wang Family, to be more specific, are the southeast, wealthy families, the north, and the new group besieging the Prince. The academic group may stand by and watch, but it is impossible to be completely neutral. Don't take advantage of the bastard, haha. Under siege from all parties, Chen Fangqing and the Prince Group will definitely not be able to withstand it. The Prince Group will fall apart and its strength will be great. The East Palace and the Beihai Wang family achieved an unprecedented victory, which is probably the result of this game."
"so what?"
The saint turned to look at Jiang Shangyu, the sword intent flowing in his eyes, with strong pressure, sharp and compelling.
"so... "
Jiang Shangyu spread his hands: "Have you ever thought about the final fate of the Prince Group? This is a group that has been rooted in Central Continent for hundreds of years. It even has a history earlier than the Southeast Group. It is deeply rooted. The Prince Group may The strength will be greatly damaged and may even break up, but such a group cannot recover after a fall. Your strength is very strong, but Your Highness, do you really think that after the game, the Prince Group will disappear completely?"
The saint shook his head subconsciously.
Even the most optimistic people have no way to say that the Prince Group will disappear completely. They are destined to suffer heavy losses and cannot even preserve half of their strength. With Chen Fangqing's fall, the Prince Group will inevitably lose troops, but will it disappear completely? This is almost impossible to do, and Li Huacheng will not just watch such a situation happen, so the best result is that Chen Fangqing's people are completely eliminated, and a large number of people from the Prince Group enter the new group and the academy, and the remaining The forces below were in chaos and scattered, and then slowly integrated, elected new leaders, and regained a foothold.
By then, the newly born Prince Group will still be a behemoth.
"Everything should be over before the election. The Prince Group will fall into chaos for a period of time, but as time goes by, people can always see the situation clearly. Maybe in three months, maybe half a year, maybe a year, the Prince Group will automatically Integrate the shuffle.”
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly. In the cold night, his gentle smile seemed to be arrogant and wild: "I seem to remember that my father's status in the Prince Group is not low."
saint
:! ! !
His forward steps suddenly stopped, and he turned around suddenly, looking at Jiang Shangyu with a charming smile in his eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood what everything in Northern Xinjiang meant.
It was as if someone gently pushed away the faint fog in front of his eyes, and everything suddenly became clear.
Jiangshan and Prince Group have drifted apart in recent years and are almost strangers to each other.
Everyone ignored Jiangshan's position.
But the moment Jiang Shangyu said it again, the hair on Saint's whole body stood up.
Jiangshan belongs to the Prince Group.
The Prince Group is destined to fail in the game.
The force led by Chen Fangqing will be completely broken up, some other forces will leave the Prince Group, and the remaining forces will be reintegrated and a new leader will be elected.
Who else would be more suitable to be the new leader of this prince group than Jiang Shan, who completely controls everything in northern Xinjiang
Strength, money, connections, status, prestige.
We have everything we should have.
While the Prince Group was panicking, Jiangshan directly and powerfully took control of Northern Xinjiang.
When the Prince Group wakes up, I'm afraid those people will move closer to Jiangshan without saying much.
By then the Prince Group...
No, at that time, it was no longer the Prince Group.
Maybe Beijiang Group
Or... Jiang's group? !
It was an indescribable feeling. All the warmth in the body seemed to be withdrawn in an instant. A slight trembling feeling spread throughout the body. The saint stared deeply at Jiang Shangyu.
"Is this your purpose?"
"This is the situation."
Jiang Shangyu's expression was a little innocent.
The saint chuckled expressionlessly: "I suddenly thought of a word, a word that Chen Fangqing often said in recent days, and even used it on His Majesty several times."
"Country thief!"
The saint looked at Jiang Shangyu: "You Jiang family are the real thieves of the country. You are so brave."
"Your Highness, do you want to stop it?"
Jiang Shangyu chuckled.
"What do you think?"
The saint narrowed his eyes.
"late."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "It's too late. Since I can tell all this, it proves that there is no need to hide many things. You can't stop it, and neither can His Majesty Li Tianlan."
"Actually, I know that he has ideas about Northern Xinjiang, but he is too slow. You are all too slow. Your Majesty wants Northern Xinjiang. He needs to operate, deploy people, and create the situation he wants. It is too slow. We are different..."
"The Jiang family has been developing in Northern Xinjiang for decades. All the things that His Majesty wants to operate can be omitted here. We can go straight to the subject and form today's situation. Really, it is already too late... You guys ..."
Jiang Shangyu laughed softly: "It's too late."
"you're right."
The saint was silent for a long time before slowly nodding: "In terms of foundation in Northern Xinjiang, no one can match the Jiang family. This is your advantage, but your advantage is limited to Northern Xinjiang. The Jiang family is acting like this today. , have you really not considered the consequences?”
"What consequences?"
Jiang Shangyu asked calmly.
The saint sneered: "You and I both know that there are only two people in Zhongzhou who have the ability to support Northern Xinjiang. The first is Donghuang Palace, and the second is Beihai Wang Family. The latter will not compete with Donghuang Palace for Northern Xinjiang at this time. Control, and the Jiang family’s backer is obviously not the East Palace, so what other answer can there be? Behind you are foreign forces, and they can only be foreign forces. With the support of foreign forces, you can afford the pension. , you can also get a lot of resources, but are you too naive? Control Northern Xinjiang, and also want to control the Prince Group through Northern Xinjiang, and reach into the core of power in Central Continent. Are you really helpless in Central Continent? "
In terms of foundation in Northern Xinjiang, no one can compare with Jiangshan. Anyone or any organization that wants to plot Northern Xinjiang needs certain preparations and certain operations to achieve the situation they want, and most of these actions are aimed at Jiangshan.
But Jiangshan doesn't need to prepare these things at all, so as long as he wants Northern Xinjiang, he can take over everything in Northern Xinjiang as soon as a favorable situation arises.
There is really no one who can organize Jiangshan's actions now.
But what happens after that
Immediately after the incident in Northern Xinjiang, I don’t know how many people began to secretly investigate whether the backers behind the Jiang family were foreign forces. Such a fact cannot become a secret at all and cannot be hidden. Once the backers behind the Jiang family After being exposed, even if Zhongzhou has no time to take care of Northern Xinjiang, it is impossible for Jiangshan to do whatever he wants in Northern Xinjiang.
After all, no matter how serious the fight between Chen Fangqing and Li Tianlan is, it is still an internal matter. Once foreign forces are involved, all the forces in Central Continent will unanimously deal with the outside world.
"There is no such thing as foreign power."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly: "If there is really any, then they are not the Jiang family's backers. On the contrary, the Jiang family is their backstage."
He smiled and said lightly: "It seems that many people have misunderstood something. Why does the Jiang family have to have a backer to do things? Our Jiang family does not have the habit of being a dog for others. If there is really a so-called backer and backstage, Then the Jiang family’s backer and backstage is ourselves, nothing more.”

(I’ve been adjusting my work and rest schedule in the past few days. I haven’t slept properly for a long time. Now I wake up in a daze all day long. My state is really bad... Generally, I am in better shape when coding at night, but now I get up early and wait until night. , I was almost too sleepy to open my eyes... So I stopped updating for a day yesterday... I will try to make up for it as I adjust.)
