Chapter 531 Agreed or Not
Wang Tianzong was still in the Office of the President.
The Office of the President had already existed in name only. The large building, which had once been filled with the atmosphere of power, had been completely shattered by the sword light.
The sword light came from the distance and crossed thousands of meters. It shuttled in a straight line and teared the square in front of the Office of the President. Everything in the Office of the President, including the door, the buildings, the pavilions, the flowers, the trees, and the waves were all smashed into pieces in an instant.
Only the house where Wang Tianzong stayed was intact and stood in the ruins—it looked very strange.
The Snowdance Corps had already regrouped.
The high-level members of the Snowdance Corps, who had destroyed the two great clans of Eastern Europe in a thunderbolt-like attack and had severely blown the Eastern Church, had all returned. At that moment, they had all returned to the temporary base of the Snowdance Corps.
The temporary base was built on a broken parade square. It meant that they surrounded Wang Tianzong again.
Wang Tianzong hadn’t moved from beginning to end, and he was a bit weird in silence.
It was dinner time for the Snowdance Corps.
Several guards came in and put the food on the table, and then walked out without saying a word.
Wang Tianzong, who was standing in front of the window and watching the wind and rain, came to the table and sat down. He opened the lunch box and smiled gently.
All of the Dark World knew that he was imprisoned here by Li Tianlan.
However, he was not a prisoner—that was why he was treated very well there.
There were six dishes in total in front of him. They were a combination of meat and vegetables. The dishes were exquisite and had a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
He smelled the aroma of a pot of soup as well.
In the other big food box, there were at least three or four pounds of rice with a soft color. In addition, there was a high-grade bottle of Maotai.
The messy wind and rain never stopped.
The food had an attractive warm taste.
Wang Tianzong poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes.
The big screen in the room suddenly flashed.
Summer Solstice’s figure appeared on the screen. She looked a little lazy. “Have you eaten yet?”
“I’m just preparing to start eating.”
Wang Tianzong smiled, looked at the dishes on the table, and said jokingly, “In terms of cooking skills, the person who is cooking for me now is much better than you.”
Summer Solstice rolled her eyes at Wang Tianzong. She was a little unconvinced, but she didn’t say anything.
She was the best in Wang Tianzong’s heart. But her cooking was the only thing that made him not dare to flatter her, ever since she had been a child.
Even if there had been a few field trainings that were rare in their childhood, Lin Fengting and Li Kuangtu had looked for ingredients, and then Wang Tianzong had roasted them. Back then, Summer Solstice had at most been a helper beside.
Wang Tianzong lowered his head and took a sip of wine. His eyes were calm.
Summer Solstice suddenly asked, “Has Qinglei contacted you yet?”
Wang Tianzong nodded and said yes.
Wang Qinglei had called him in the morning. Not only Wang Qinglei, but also the two giants and several members of the Southeast Sect had talked to him on the phone to discuss the private transfer of Dongcheng Wudi.
Although it had only taken one day, the Giant Group was under a great deal of pressure, and Dongcheng Wudi was even more under pressure. After a Deputy Commander of the Garrison Army, who was in favor of the Dongcheng Clan, had been dismissed and arrested the previous night. A few hours ago, a Major Colonel of the Air Force, who had been likely to be promoted to Major General had, also been investigated. That Major Colonel had been the secretary of the current commander of the Air Force, Han Lishi. General Han Lishi had always been one of the strongest supporters of Dongcheng Wudi.
Wild wind and heavy rain had swept across the entire military in one day.
Dongcheng Wudi had targeted the Wang family of Beihai and the Southeast Group.
At this time, the Southeast Group took the lead to fight back the Giant Group. Thus, it was natural for the several giants of the Southeast Group to ask for Wang Tianzong’s opinion in advance.
“I’ve made my stance very clear.”
Wang Tianzong said slowly, “I’ll go all out. I’ll stop when I see it’s done.”
He would go all out.
He would stop when he saw it was done.
They were completely two contradictory sentences, but it was Wang Tianzong’s real attitude.
Summer Solstice thought about it seriously and said with uncertainty, “Do you think this matter can’t affect the foundation of the Giant Group?”
“The Giant Group is destined to lose some significant positions. But it can’t affect the overall situation. Our Beihai is strong and the Li family is stubborn. But when it comes to self-protection, who can beat Old Master of the Dongcheng Clan? This time, the matter is very big and, of course, it’s very serious. But if we don’t let it go, in the end, Li Huacheng will definitely intervene. How can the Academics live without the Dongcheng Clan now?” Wang Tianzong said blandly.
Summer Solstice put her hands on her cheeks and looked at Wang Tianzong with a smile. It was not that she didn’t understand this, but she didn’t want to think about it. So she asked directly, “Why?”
“Because of the Li family.”
Wang Tianzong thought for a moment and said slowly, “Beihai won’t allow the Li family to reappear, neither will Kunlun City and the Prince Group. There are only The Six and the Southeast Group in Zhongzhou State. Once the Special Warfare Group and the Prince Group unite, the survival space of the Academics will be very small. The North Group has always been weak. In recent years, the Academics have been getting closer and closer to the neutral group, and they rarely intervene in other things. But the Academics are different. They have risen for a short period of time and lack of cultural resources, but they are full of energy. Moreover, now they are in charge. How can they not have any ambition?”
“The Giant Group that has always been with Kunlun City and Beihai is the only ally of the Academics. Even if Dongcheng Wudi makes a fuss this time, Li Huacheng will protect Dongcheng Wudi at the crucial moment. What the Academics want most now is to seize several military positions from the Dongcheng Clan. This may make Dongcheng Wudi uncomfortable, but it won’t make him lose face or affect their cooperation.”
Wang Tianzong lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then continued, “If Dongcheng Wudi dies, in the current situation, it will be difficult for the Academics to help their own people to be the Minister of the Army Headquarters. The new Minister of the Army Headquarters is likely to come from the Southeast Group or Kunlun City. If they lose the military power, the Academics’ position will be in jeopardy. After all, Li Huacheng’s office term won’t be long.”
Summer Solstice blinked.
There were less than four years left for Li Huacheng’s official career, but his influence would not fade away in at least ten years. If...
Summer Solstice asked lazily, “If we support the Academics and make their own people take Dongcheng Wudi’s place?”
Wang Tianzong was silent for a while.
If the Wang family of Beihai suppressed the Giant Group and cooperated with the Academics with its strength...
He calculated the odds of winning and finally shook his head. “In theory, it’s possible, but Li Huacheng won’t accept it.”
Even if Dongcheng Wudi died because of this matter, the influence of the Dongcheng Clan will not be eliminated easily. At that time, it’s bound to be a very tragic game. The Academics have little advantages in the military. They sit in Dongcheng Wudi’s position and are destined to play with Dongcheng Wudi’s forces. In this way, the Academics will be surrounded by enemies from all sides. They will compete for military power with Dongcheng Wudi’s forces in the military, and they will compete for interests with Kunlun City in the Special Warfare System. In addition, they will have to compete with the Wang family of Beihai and the Prince Group in politics. They’ll all fight with each other from all directions. The final outcome would be that their national strength would decline or it would stop developing. As a ruling group, what good comments would the Academics receive?
“Even if he accepts it, I can’t agree,” Wang Tianzong said in a low voice.
People could fight inside Zhongzhou State. But no matter what, it should not affect the stability of the whole situation. This was the principle and the rigid demand of the Wang family of Beihai.
The reason was very simple. Beihai Province was one with Zhongzhou State.
The stronger Zhongzhou State was, the stronger Beihai was, and vice versa.
Summer Solstice gently said yes.
Wang Tianzong shook his head and suddenly said, “How about the Coldness of Nine States?”
Currently, forging the Coldness of Nine States was the top priority for the Wang family of Beihai.
Summer Solstice’s expression finally became serious, and she whispered, “Human Emperor has begun to merge with the Coldness of Nine States, and there is about a week left.”
“A week...” Wang Tianzong muttered to himself.
Summer Solstice said softly, “We can make it.”
Wang Tianzong nodded.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed and said, “Did Yuetong contact you recently?”
Summer Solstice was stunned and was a little absentminded. She whispered, “She... didn’t contact...”
Ever since she had left the Wang family of Beihai, Wang Yuetong had never contacted her family. Summer Solstice knew that he and a few young people from East Emperor Palace were now in Tiannan. Although they hadn’t interfered yet, they did a good job. However, Wang Yuetong kept silent all the time.
Even when Li Tianlan had been in a desperate situation yesterday, Wang Yuetong had been silent.
It went without saying what it meant.
Wang Tianzong frowned.
Summer Solstice looked at Wang Tianzong’s expression and said in a softer voice, “Old Wang, are you really going to kill him? Li Tianlan...”
She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Wang Tianzong put on a wry smile and didn’t hide it at all.
“Now that it has come to this point, how do I want to kill him? It’s Tianlan who forced me to kill him. What choice do I have?”
His smile was honest and helpless.
On the night when Li Tianlan had gone to the battlefield from there, he had used many means to talk to Li Tianlan.
But what he said was all true.
If Li Tianlan agreed to his terms, he would really hand the Wang family of Beihai over to Wang Yuetong. From then on, if the Wang family of Beihai did not have a life-or-death crisis, he would never appear again.
If Li Tianlan agreed to his terms, there might be no more Sword Emperor and Summer Solstice in the Dark World.
Wang Tianzong could only change into a name on the Stone of Formidable Person.
But there was no supposition.
“In such a situation, it’s not that Beihai can’t tolerate him, or he can’t tolerate Beihai.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head. “It’s just that Beihai is big, but it can’t tolerate his ambition.”
More than three years ago, when Wang Yuetong’s feelings for Li Tianlan had just sprouted, it was the first time that Wang Tianzong had seen Li Tianlan in Huating. He had once evaluated Li Tianlan’s wild ambition and had thought of Li Tianlan as definitely not a good match.
It was true indeed.
Wang Tianzong looked out of the window in silence for a long time.
After an unknown time, Summer Solstice suddenly said, “Oh, by the way, what do you think about Jiang Shangyu?”
Jiang Shangyu was now appointed as the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps. He had already gone to Youzhou to report on his work, and he would arrive in East Europe in one or two days.
It was one of the most popular topics in Zhongzhou State that he had risen from a graduate to the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps.
But no matter how popular it was, it was not as shocking as the realm he had suddenly improved.
Since he had just entered the Thunder-shocking Realm, he had been promoted a lot. Overnight, he had crossed over the stabilization time of the Thunder-shocking Realm, the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm, and the Half-step Invincible Realm. Jiang Shangyu’s combat capability directly entered the top level of the Half-step Invincible Realm, which meant that he had the combat capability of the Invincible Realm. The current Jiang Shangyu was no worse than Li Tianlan. Compared to his status, his realm had really risen through the ranks in one go, which could be called a miracle.
Jiang Shangyu’s attitude after the breakthrough was even more intriguing.
He had started to make a breakthrough when Gu Fengbo, the vice governor of Kunlun City, and General Mo Qingping, the first Deputy Minister of general politics had arrived in Beijiang. Just with the aftermath of the breakthrough, he had seriously injured Gu Fengbo and Mo Qingping, who were in the Thunder-shocking Realm. His attitude was simply domineering. Although it was only a day, all of Zhongzhou State had felt the agitation after the Jiang family in Beijiang had kept a low profile for many years.
“This can’t be his breaking the realm.”
Wang Tianzong thought about it seriously and said slowly, “No one will cross so many realms in a night. No matter how talented he is, he can’t cross so many realms.”
“We’ve all seen real geniuses. Even if the ones we’ve seen before are not the top ones, Li Tianlan is enough to explain the word. But even for him, there’s no possibility of rising through the ranks in one go. Geniuses may break through the realm very quickly. But after all, it takes time. One night? How is that possible?”
“But this is the truth.”
Summer Solstice frowned and said quietly, “I suddenly found that we underestimated the Jiang family.”
“I’m not sure about the state of Jiang Shangyu, but he will come to Eastern Europe sooner or later. Only after seeing it with my own eyes can I be sure,” Wang Tianzong said slowly.
Summer Solstice agreed.
Wang Tianzong gradually fell silent.
He didn’t know when Summer Solstice had turned off the video, and the room became quiet again.
The video call rang again after an unknown period of time.
Wang Tianzong glanced at the video casually and narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the video call.
In the incredibly colorful and solemn study room, President Li Huacheng of Zhongzhou State appeared on the screen.
Wang Tianzong casually bowed and said calmly, “Mr. President.”
On the screen, Li Huacheng smiled and nodded. He looked at Wang Tianzong’s surroundings and didn’t talk nonsense. He asked straightforwardly, “How is the situation in Wulan State?”
This question, which should have been used to communicate with Li Tianlan, was asked by Wang Tianzong. Thus, it seemed a bit weird.
Wang Tianzong didn’t hesitate and said flatly, “It seems that the situation in Wulan State and several countries around us has stabilized. It can be said that the general trend has been formed. General Li has made great contributions in this battle.”
“Yes, I didn’t expect Tianlan to do this either. Tianzong, it seems that you were right when you recommended him. You have discerning eyes.”
Li Huacheng smiled with somewhat lament.
The corners of Wang Tianzong’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything.
Li Huacheng took a deep look at him and suddenly said, “I’ll visit Wulan State in the next few days. I’ve decided to let the Snowdance Corps take full charge of everything in Eastern Europe. If you don’t have anything important to do, why don’t you come back with me?”
This sentence was simple and clear, but the meaning was even simpler and clearer.
Wang Tianzong looked up at Li Huacheng and narrowed his eyes.
Li Huacheng’s face gradually became serious. “In Wulan State, Tianlan and the Snowdance Corps are enough to control the overall situation. Tianzong, you may have resentment in your heart, but national affairs are more important. Tianlan has conquered Wulan State and it can’t be changed. Do you agree with this?”
“With General Li’s talent, conquering the five countries in Eastern Europe around Wulan State is already his limit. If he goes further, I’m afraid he will die young,” Wang Tianzong said expressionlessly.
Li Huacheng frowned and was a little unhappy. But before he could speak, Wang Tianzong had already said, “It’s not meaningless for me to stay here. The overall situation of Wulan State has been formed, and so has the overall situation of the five countries in Eastern Europe. Of course, I agree with that. I can give him the land of the five countries if Marshal Li wants. But I came here for all of Eastern Europe. Do you agree with this?”
“As the Marshal, I don’t agree.”
Before Li Huacheng could speak, a clear and peaceful voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
