The alliance of the shadow assassin troops may not all be goodwill, Kunlun City means unknown dangers, between good and evil, often means different positions and calculations, swords and swords, deceit, intrigues, all in this division and merger, in the invincible realm like ants, but also like grass mustard under the general trend, only oneself, only the most powerful self is the most worthy of trust.

Li Tianlan understood this truth very early, but wandering forward in the storm, witnessing it with his own eyes, and even experiencing all this himself, he was still a little uncomfortable, and when he walked out of the primeval forest on the border, what he needed to fit in with was not only the world of flowers and flowers in the outside world? Everything in the dark world also needed him to explore and familiarize himself with.

In a sense, adapting to the latter is even more meaningful and important than adapting to the former.

This is the path he is destined to take in the future.

For the rest of his life, everything in the dark world was destined to be the main theme of his life, the sudden storm, the silent thunder, the unknown deceit, and the murderous intent behind the smiling faces.

He must wander in this circle where there is no good and evil, no morality, and only distinguishes between friend and foe from a pure standpoint, whether it is singing all the way or low-key hibernation, he must figure out the essence through appearances, step by step, carrying the entire Li clan on thin ice, and attacking towards the peak of the dark world.

The word life is too heavy, and it seems that he will take it for granted that in the magnificent life, the fatigue and hardship of people are the important cornerstones that support the future glory of the Li family.

The general trend is like this, and the destiny is like this.

Wang Zhaoliang of the Shadow Assassin Force has already left.

Li Tianlan's eyes were deep, looking at his gradually blurred back, and he was silent for a long time.

He was looking at Wang Zhaoliang.

Behind him, the dream was watching him.

Li Tianlan at this moment seemed to be different from before, the ethereal and ethereal sense of reality seemed to gradually disappear in him, he stood there quietly, but the whole person seemed distant and heavy.

Restrained.

All the edges, emotions, everything is restrained to the extreme, but there is a faint danger in the silence.

Youmeng looked at Li Tianlan in a daze and sighed softly.

The city of sighs is not large, and there are not many top-level assassins inside, but each one of them is a figure who can make a name for himself in the dark world, their strength is undoubted, and similarly, their cohesion is also known.

This is a force that looks mysterious on the outside, but on the inside, it doesn't value the inferior.

Dream, Twilight, Breeze, Drifting Clouds, and several other Assassins.

They will also be respectful when facing the calamity, facing the city lord Situ Cangyue, but in their hearts they don't feel how unattainable they really are, whether it is the Shadow King or the Hidden God of Zhongzhou, they are all very close to them, within reach, that feeling...

It's like... It's like they're one.

Whatever they want, the city lord will do it for them.

What the city lord wants to do, they will also go to the soup for the city lord.

Since the establishment of the City of Sighs, with the addition of one top assassin after another, it seems that no one has ever cared about the goals and purposes of the City of Sighs, and the City of Sighs does not seem to have these things at all.

They are assassins, killers, unleashing their murderous intent in the purest way in the darkest corners, and when the murderous intent is gone, they choose to go home.

Killer homeless?

Joke.

The icy and snowy land on Taibai Mountain is the most sacred pure land in the hearts of everyone in the City of Sighs.

This is the City of Sighs, a city of assassins with no internal rules, no purpose, no goals, no dignity and inferiority, independent but closely united, a force that blooms with warmth in mysterious and cold corners, so when the city lord Situ Cangyue announced that Li Tianlan would become the young city lord of Sigh City, he did not hesitate at all, and every top assassin expressed his support.

What does this mean, they don't bother to think about it, just because all this is what Situ Cangyue wants to do, then support it.

Just like in the past years, what they wanted to do, Situ Cangyue would also support.

No matter how complicated things are, within the City of Sighs, they can be reduced to the simple logic of someone wanting to do it.

Looking at Li Tianlan's back, Yumeng's eyes were complicated.

She didn't know how much the nineteen-year-old young man in front of her had carried, but she understood that this young city lord was destined to be as simple and thorough as Sigh City, and the complexity and entanglement in his heart had already turned into obsession, deep into his bones, not only would he not be purified, but the entire Sigh City would undergo some unexpected changes with his accession.

As the top assassins who have been active in the outside world in Sigh City in recent years, Ghost Dream and Twilight are actually very clear that this kind of change that will definitely happen is actually not what the overall will of Sigh City likes, in the hands of Li Tianlan, Sigh City will definitely become a different appearance, but for the first time in many years, Situ Cangyue wants to do something, no matter what, they have no reason not to support it.

Whatever she wants to do.

"Young master, the target of the Beihai Wang Clan should be intelligence, when you mentioned intelligence just now, Wang Zhaoliang was a little wrong. ”

Youmeng was silent for a while, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and said softly.

Li Tianlan is now the young city lord supported by the entire Sigh City, no matter what happens in the future, since he has made a choice, Youmeng must definitely consider the problem from Li Tianlan's standpoint.

Li Tianlan nodded, when Wang Zhaoliang proposed information sharing, he felt that it was inappropriate, and tentatively mentioned it, although Wang Zhaoliang at that time covered it up well, he still exposed something unusual.

But what does that mean exactly?

The Beihai Wang clan has obviously sensed the 'special channel' of reincarnation, but Li Tianlan is not sure whether what the Beihai Wang clan has noticed is the mysterious ally around Samsara, or whether he just wants to investigate the reality of the reincarnation intelligence agency through some clues.

The land of Dongdao is extremely sensitive to Zhongzhou, to the Beihai Wang clan, and to the major forces in the West, and now that the Beihai Wang clan has been aware, then the so-called goodwill shown by Wang Zhaoliang today is likely to turn into naked hostility in the next second.

"Each of these forces is simple. Even smiling at you can make you feel uncomfortable. ”

Li Tianlan smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and went down the mountain and said, "It's back." ”

Youmeng followed Li Tianlan step by step, this is really a beauty, in the most mature age, every move has a very enchanting temptation, the quiet smell of perfume surrounds him, quietly, Youmeng's voice has become soft and charming, walking beside Li Tianlan, she said softly: "The dark world has too many calculations, and the murderous aura is too heavy, this is a fact that cannot be changed." Most of the fights are not something that ordinary people can handle, and although we are assassins, we have always been pure. Killing is killing, and some intrigues are basically avoided as far as they can. ”

She paused in her tone, as if she hesitated, but she still spoke in a coquettish tone, and giggled, "Of course, we are not that clean. But I've been walking outside for the past few years, and I'm also very experienced in how to avoid strife after killing someone, young master, do you need to share it with you?"

Li Tianlan's steps seemed to stiffen, and immediately returned to normal, his expression was calm, but his eyes became more and more profound, and he glanced at Youmeng meaningfully, and in the other party's somewhat flustered expression, he suddenly smiled leisurely: "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"

"Huh?"

Youmeng made a syllable in confusion, but her heart was confused, and she kept thinking about the meaning contained in Li Tianlan's eyes when she looked at her.

What she said just now can't be said to be a warning, but it can be said to be an exhortation, and it also contains a little longing in her own selfish heart, but she is a woman, and she is a very beautiful woman, using this gentle and charming tone to test Li Tianlan should not cause him to be disgusted, but for some reason, she is always a little uneasy in her heart.

"I was just thinking..."

Li Tianlan chuckled: "In the future, most of our enemies or friends will come from the dark world, from the major forces of the dark world, such as the Beihai Wang Clan, such as Kunlun City, as well as some behemoths abroad, or some special institutions in China. ”

"This circle is very complicated, so complicated that whether it is brilliant or ordinary, as long as you enter this circle, everyone has to carefully struggle to survive. is as strong as Wang Tianzong, the first on the god list, and when leading the entire Beihai Wang clan, he must be cautious. Force and wisdom, conspiracy and betrayal, life and death, war and position, this all-encompassing circle is too big and too complicated. Dreams, in such an environment, can anyone really be free from the world?"

Yumeng smiled reluctantly, his face seemed a little pale.

"In this world, nothing can represent everything. It is not even force and wisdom that can guarantee survival, but prudence. This is the dark world in my heart. ”

Li Tianlan walked slowly across the ground under his feet, his tone was neither cold nor passionate, and there was a depression that could not be dispersed in the plainness: "This is also my path." Wang Zhaoliang and I formed an alliance, I will subconsciously think about his deep purpose, he reminded me to be careful of Kunlun City, I will think about the reincarnation palace, I will also think about the hole cards of Kunlun City, and I also want to grasp the mentality of the Beihai Wang, so I suddenly thought of a very interesting question just now. ”

"In this cruel and dark world, I am destined to meet different people and different conspiracies in the future, what will I become in ten years, twenty years?"

His voice grew deeper, and the brilliance in his eyes became more restrained.

"Is it Tianjiao? is it a hero? or... Is it a pile of dry bones?"

"It won't be dry bones. ”

Youmeng subconsciously spoke, her tone was firm, Li Tianlan's words seemed to be emotional, the clouds covered the fog, Youmeng didn't know if she was thinking too much, but she had just tested Li Tianlan, and now that she heard these words, she couldn't help but regard these as Li Tianlan's answers to herself.

Speaking of which, Youmeng had to make a clear statement, although the other party's words were bland, but she could feel the heavier and heavier pressure in it, if it was said that before getting along, Youmeng saw Li Tianlan's calm and ethereal, and saw his dignified and sharp spirit, then on such a sunny morning, she clearly felt the gloom in Li Tianlan's heart.

Her temptation just now was nothing more than an expression that Sigh City still liked the attitude of being indisputable with the world before.

However, Li Tianlan talked about his attitude that he is destined to stay away from disputes in the future.

Youmeng didn't know what the consequences would be if she insisted on her own opinion, but remembering Li Tianlan's meaningful eyes just now, her heart didn't feel a little cold.

At this moment, Yumeng's heart was in a trance, if this young city lord with a changeable mood joining the City of Sighs was destined to change the city of assassins, then what she had just said might make her the main force to change the City of Sighs.

But the dream had no choice.

"There is the City of Sighs, and no one dares to hurt the young master. No one in the City of Sighs would say yes. ”

Yumeng said in a calm tone.

Li Tianlan glanced at her with a smile and said lightly, "Really?"

Yumeng's heart became colder and colder, and his tone was slightly bitter: "Time will tell. ”

"Well, time will tell. ”

Li Tianlan nodded: "I can't give you a clear answer." This answer may only be told to each one of us in time. But I can tell you that everything I have worked for since I was a child was to make my family and friends free and happy. ”

Youmeng was slightly stunned, she never thought that behind the young master's gloomy answer that she could almost feel the killing intent, she would finally get such an answer.

Let my loved ones and friends be free and happy?

"What is freedom?"

Li Tianlan walked down the hill and looked up at the sky.

At the end of the spectrum, white clouds flutter in the air, moving through the sunlight, changing and changing.

"Freedom... Naturally, you can do whatever you want. ”

Yumeng thought seriously for a while before speaking softly.

"Nope. ”

Li Tianlan shook his head calmly, and an inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes at this moment.

He chuckled and said indifferently: "In my opinion, the so-called freedom is not to do what you don't want to do. ”

Youmeng was thoughtful, and this answer seemed to be the same as his whole person.

Restrained, yet wild.

"Tell me about the secret news you've heard. ”

Li Tianlan stopped, simply lay on the grass, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above, and his tone gradually became gloomy: "What are the Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City plotting?"

"It's not a conspiracy, either. It can be said that they joined forces to promote something. ”

Youmeng thought about it seriously, the previous Sigh City was indeed a bit of a scattered immortal style in the red dust but ignoring the world, for the affairs between the major forces, for the overall situation of Zhongzhou, I basically didn't care about it, although I heard the news of a few words, but I didn't think about it at all: "I just returned to Taibai Mountain from the Snow Country at that time, Gu Qianchuan and Wang Jingwei arrived in the City of Sighs together, they seem to want His Highness to support one of their proposals, these two seem to be preparing to enhance the special operations system in Zhongzhou..."

This news is not much different from nothing, Li Tianlan shook his head, and said casually: "Who is Wang Jingwei?"

"Chief of the Military Staff. ”

Youmeng said simply: "One of the core figures of the Beihai Wang Clan." ”

Li Tianlan's pupils shrank slightly.

The number one leader of the staff department ranked first in the four headquarters of Zhongzhou, in the entire military circle, this is the real real power, and it can even be said that it is the most weighty power, and in the chat with Ning Qiancheng, Li Tianlan also knows that Ning Qiancheng's father, Ning Zhiyuan, the commander of the Eastern Theater, is currently most eager for this position, although the two are of the same level, but the former is the fastest way to be promoted to the rank of marshal.

How does such a powerful faction in the military circles and the number two person in Kunlun City join forces to go to Taibai Mountain in an attempt to promote the discourse of the special operations system in Zhongzhou?

And what does this have to do with him?

"It is said that Kunlun City had this kind of movement many years ago, but it was not passed at that time, and the strongest opposition at that time was the Beihai Wang Clan, and now it seems that the Beihai Wang Clan is relieved. ”

Youmeng shook her head, she didn't know what this specific plan was, but at that time, Situ Cangyue said something fierce, which mentioned the Li family, and finally rejected the request of the Beihai Wang clan and Kunlun City, it can be seen that even if the Li family does not occupy all the reasons, at least it is a very important part of the reason, and now that he sees Li Tianlan, Youmeng is more and more convinced of his speculation.

"In the near future..."

Li Tianlan picked the muscles at the corners of his eyes, and said after a while: "What time is it?"

"Late May, early June, right? I don't remember the exact time. ”

Yumeng seemed a little embarrassed: "I basically don't pay much attention to the domestic affairs of Middle-earth, and that time I stayed in Taibai Mountain without a day before going to Billy Country." ”

Li Tianlan fell silent.

The period from the end of May to the beginning of June happened to be around the time when he first met Wang Tianzong in Huating.

Does it matter?

"It's fine. ”

He was silent for a while, then said lightly.

Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City have joined forces to promote the promotion of the status of the special operations system in Middle-earth, which is a good thing for anyone in the special warfare system, although Youmeng speculates that there are reasons for this to target the Li family, but at least so far, Li Tianlan has not seen the harm of this matter to the Li family, and this matter is destined to happen after the decisive battle on Long Island, and it is not too late to return to Zhongzhou and watch the clouds rise and fall in Zhongzhou.

"At least in this decisive battle, the proposal jointly promoted by the Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City has little to do with us. ”

He said slowly.

"Hmm. ”

Youmeng nodded: "The most important thing to watch out for at the moment is Kunlun City." Wang Zhaoliang's reminder is very meaningful, young master, if Kunlun City has a backhand in the East Island, what do you say it will be?"

"How do I know?"

Li Tianlan smiled, but there was no smile in his clear and gentle eyes: "I only care about what they want to do now." ”

Looking closely at the list of Kunlun City's investment in the East Island, the weirdness can almost be said to be obvious, and the strength they have invested is indeed too little, as the promoter of this plan, if it is only based on this list, it will not only be difficult to gain the approval of the high-level, but also make many special operations agencies in the empire dissatisfied, such a small investment, it is not worthy of the status of the power center of the special operations system in the Central Continent.

Wang Zhaoliang's reminder is very timely and in line with common sense.

Under normal circumstances, this time, Kunlun City invested more power than the Beihai King Clan and Sighing City, which was a normal thing.

But at least for now, everything in Kunlun City is extremely normal, if their investment exceeds that of the Beihai King Clan and Sighing City, then in secret, what resources can they invest?

And these resources, which have not yet seen the light of day, what will they do after their identity as the inheritor of the Li family is exposed?

Li Tianlan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes cruel and cold.

If this reminder comes from reincarnation, and Wang Zhaoliang has not explained it, it can only prove that the current reincarnation still has not caught the resources that Kunlun City has secretly invested in Dongdao.

"If you want to hide it from everyone and invest it secretly, at least it won't be too conspicuous, it can only be a small number of utensils and people, or intelligence, Kunlun City... What can you put in?"

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Intelligence is impossible. ”

Youmeng shook his head directly: "Because of the relationship between the Beihai Wang Clan, the development of Kunlun City in the East Island is not smooth, and they can't get useful information. As for the utensils... Kunlun City does not have fierce soldiers, and it is not as good as the Dongcheng family and the Beihai Wang clan in terms of weapon manufacturing, which is also impossible. ”

"So that's a human being?"

Li Tianlan said softly.

"The words of man... Several masters of Kunlun City followed Gu Qianchuan to Northern Europe, and some stayed in Zhongzhou, although their own masters are mysterious, but there will not be many real masters, hmph, the entire Kunlun City, Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan are barely considered men, and others can't affect the overall situation when they come..."

Li Tianlan didn't wait for Youmeng to finish speaking, and the whole person got up.

"Man?!"

He looked at Yumeng with burning eyes, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, for no reason, he suddenly thought of his first meeting with Gongsun Qi.

At the same time, he thought of the reminder of the Dongcheng family.

Gongsun Qi said at the beginning that this time there was a young man in Zhongzhou who was going to participate in the East Island, but he was stopped, and the person who stopped the young man had already arrived on the East Island, and Gongsun Qi asked him to be careful.

The Dongcheng family reminded him to be careful of the Phoenix Pavilion.

Wang Zhaoliang was also reminding him to be careful.

Jiang Shangyu told him that the Phoenix Pavilion had a close connection with Kunlun City.

Youmeng said that there were only Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan in Kunlun City, who were barely a man.

That... What if it's a woman?

Li Tianlan's heart was beating wildly, and he felt as if he had caught something, but he was missing something.

"Phantom Dreams!"

He looked at the dream and said solemnly, "Have you heard of the Phoenix Pavilion?"

Youmeng shook his head blankly, and before he could speak, a sexy voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I've heard of it." ”
