Li Xi left quietly and did not cause any unnecessary trouble when he came back. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Xi, who had disappeared all night, came back. Li Qingcheng, who looked obviously restless, breathed a sigh of relief. Li Tianlan, who was accompanying Li Qingcheng or rather accompanying Lin Youxian to Li Qingcheng, stood up and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Um."
Li Xi glanced at him with soft eyes: "Thank you."
Li Tianlan looked up at his watch and shook his head: "The route has been determined. We will return to Tiannan at 2:30 in the afternoon. The East Palace will officially announce the news tomorrow. We will welcome the third deputy palace owner of the East Palace."
Li Xi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Okay. Your Majesty."
Li Tianlan turned around and glanced at Lin Youxian, who was sitting next to Li Qingcheng. The other person noticed his gaze, but ignored it at all. It was obvious that he didn't want to leave. This gesture made Li Tianlan furious. In fact, he and Li Xi were not familiar with each other. It's not even close to being familiar with Li Qingcheng, but if she leaves now, Lin Youxian will definitely be full of resentment. Compared to Li Tianlan, he has no reason to stay here. Li Tianlan was thinking about a new topic when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground rushed in from outside the door.
Han Xinyan held her cell phone and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, my dad, er, the military advisor has something important to report to you."
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was a bit strange when he thought about the military advisor who had always been aloof from him despite working hard for the East Palace.
Han Xinyan lowered her voice subconsciously and said hastily: "This is very important information."
Li Tianlan hummed, reached for the phone, and looked at Lin Youxian again.
Lin Youxian stood up helplessly and planned to leave with Li Tianlan.
"Young Master Lin, if you have nothing to do, please stay for now. I have some things to communicate with you. Besides, Qingcheng and I have rarely left Kunlun City in recent years. We don't know much about the outside world, especially Xuanyuan City. You can just talk to me. Let’s talk.”
Li Xi took the initiative and looked at Lin Youxian with a meaningful look.
As someone who has been there, she can naturally understand the way Lin Youxian looks at Li Qingcheng occasionally.
It is not a male's desire to conquer a female, but a very simple yearning and admiration.
Li Xi really didn't know Lin Youxian very well, but after all, she had known Lin Fengting many years ago. With Lin Fengting's personality, the children he educated might not be saints, but to say he was a gentleman was not an exaggeration.
Lin Youxian himself is the best choice in terms of talent, appearance and future. If Li Qingcheng can be with him, it can be said to be a pretty good destination.
"Uh, ah, oh, okay, okay."
Lin Youxian stuttered for a moment, then reacted and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Auntie, just call me Xiaolin or Youxian, kindly, I am Young Master Lin. I will develop in Central Continent in the future. I hope you can give me some advice, Auntie."
Han Xinyan glanced at the former heir of the Lin clan blankly.
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
A real dog licker doesn't care what the scene is. He will lick everything until the end. No matter what the opportunity is, he will just lick it.
Shaking his head, without saying anything else, he walked out of the room and dialed the military advisor's phone number.
The military advisor answered the call immediately and was obviously waiting on the other side of the phone.
"What's up?"
Li Tianlan asked directly.
"Your Majesty, have you read today's news?"
"Um?"
Li Tianlan was a little confused.
"It's the morning news from Northern Xinjiang."
The military advisor said in a solemn tone: "The Northern Xinjiang Army started to compile the list of family members of the war dead last night. In the morning, the first batch of pensions has been distributed, in full."
"So fast?!"
Li Tianlan was shocked.
This speed can no longer be described as efficient. Just counting the families of so many victims cannot be completed in a short time. Obviously, the so-called overnight counting last night was just a cover. Northern Xinjiang has already started a secret statistical war. Family members of the deceased to determine their true identity.
"How much will the first batch of pensions cost?"
"One hundred and twenty billion."
The military advisor said solemnly: "There will be several more batches to follow."
Li Tianlan frowned tightly: "One hundred and twenty billion, it is difficult for Beijiang's finances to come up with this amount of money."
"It's not very difficult."
The military advisor's tone was very certain: "We also have investments in Northern Xinjiang. Although the scale is not large, it is only relatively speaking. I can be sure that the cash that Northern Xinjiang's finance can mobilize overnight cannot be 120 billion. Not even half of it. It was like the money came out of nowhere."
"The most important thing is that Beijiang has issued a statement that the second batch of about 150 billion in pensions will be distributed tomorrow, and there will be another batch the day after tomorrow. They don't seem to have considered the issue of funds at all."
"Are you kidding me?"
Li Tianlan laughed: "Funds that appeared out of thin air?"
The military advisor was silent for a long time and then whispered: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? In the eyes of others, our funds often appear out of thin air."
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said calmly: "What do you mean?"
"I have started investigating the source of Beijiang's accounts, but there is currently no detailed information. However, based on the superficial situation, Beijiang's funds have nothing to do with overseas consortiums. Although some of the money does come from overseas, this money, It’s not the property of an overseas consortium, but the Jiang family’s own property. Your Majesty, we also have many industries overseas, and this model is too similar.”
The military advisor was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "I suspect that there is a consortium behind the Jiang family similar to the Shengshi Fund. It is a consortium led by the Jiang family themselves. In terms of scale, they may not be as big as the Shengshi Fund, but they are It is enough for them to pay this high pension. The Jiang family’s hidden financial resources should be extremely strong, and their overall strength is not as simple as we imagined.”
Li Tianlan rubbed his forehead with one hand and said slowly: "It makes sense, but your speculation doesn't have much basis."
"Another point."
The saint hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said softly: "The boss asked me to remind you before he left last night, be sure to... be careful about Jiang Shangyu."
"The boss seems to have received reliable news. There seems to be a super strong person in the Jiang family who is in a special state. His state is probably similar to yours, but not exactly the same. The other party's combat power should be beyond the peak invincible state. Some current indicators are that All indicate that this person may be Jiang Shangyu, and even the decisive battle in Beihai was promoted by him."
Li Tianlan was obviously stunned for a while: "Jiang Shangyu?"
He murmured to himself, thinking of Jiang Shangyu he saw yesterday, then shook his head and confirmed: "He is not."
"Even if not, the other party must have a very close connection with Jiang Shangyu."
The military advisor said: "Your Majesty, in the next decisive battle in the North Sea, he is very likely to become your opponent, and... the boss asked me to remind you..."
"Have you not paid attention to Kuangtu Li's status for a long time?"
Li Tianlan fell silent.
After a long while, he took a breath and said calmly: "When I go back, I will go to the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory to take a look."
