Li Honghe is making tea.

The two villas under Qin Weibai's name were next to each other, and through the white railing, Qin Weibai clearly saw the old man making tea in the courtyard of the other villa.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the old man's movements are unhurried, leisurely as if he is a realm.

Li Honghe saw Qin Weibai coming over, raised his head and smiled: "Sit." ”

"So interested. ”

Qin Weibai sat down and said in a salty and non-salty manner.

She didn't call that old Li who looked very respectful and respectful, and in the absence of anyone else, Qin Weibai didn't bother to disguise his emotions.

"It's old. The last time we met, I told you that I don't have any thoughts in this life, and my only obsession is to watch Tianlan bring the Li family back to its original height. ”

Li Honghe smiled and poured a cup of tea for Qin Weibai, West Lake Longjing can be said to be world-famous, but the old man boiled black tea from the south of the Yangtze River, the tea is mellow and has a long aftertaste.

He put the tea in front of Qin Weibai, narrowed his eyes, and continued: "But now it seems that you still don't believe me. ”

"Should I believe you?"

Qin Weibai asked.

This is not the first time the two have met.

More than four or five years ago, the year when Li Tianlan first rebuilt his martial arts in the desert prison was the first time Qin Weibai and Li Honghe met.

Qin Weibai has never concealed her suspicion of Li Honghe.

But she got all the trust of Li Honghe.

"Believe it or not, it's true. ”

Li Honghe looked at Qin Weibai calmly.

Qin Weibai looked down at the cup of black tea handed over by the old man.

She touched the rim of the cup with her gentle fingers for a long time before she suddenly asked, "Is there enough manpower in the Li family?"

"The Inspectorate has enough manpower. ”

Li Honghe said calmly: "It's not an institution with power in the southeast, too many people are here, it doesn't make sense." ”

Qin Weibai looked up at Li Honghe, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

The Southeast Supervision Yuan is really meaningless on the surface, most of the southeast is the territory of the Beihai Wang clan, and a few areas like Huating are also mixed, and those who dare to stand on this are quite tough in the background, and the powers and functions of the special operations system are very vague, and the Supervision Yuan has the function of supervision, but at present, it seems that unless a certain institution is blatantly treasonous, there is nothing to do with the Supervision Yuan at all.

But this is an organization that can be at the same level as the Special Operations Department, and Li Honghe sits in this position, which is more meaningful to provide a soil for the Li family to survive.

There are only about a dozen people left in the Li family and all of them are crammed into the Supervision Yuan, at least it is equivalent to having a veritable official identity, and it is equivalent to Zhongzhou recognizing the status of the Li family many years after the treason case.

This identity is here, no matter how much the Beihai Wang clan and Kunlun City hate the Li clan to the core, they can only hold back, if they take the risk, once the clues are exposed and used by people with intentions, another treason case may be formed, and the evidence is more conclusive than the treason case many years ago.

Therefore, in a short period of time, without absolute certainty and great interests entangled, the Li family has the brand of the Supervision Yuan, and it is extremely safe in Lin'an, but it is also limited to security, and it is also difficult to expand.

And this is still under the support of the wealthy group, Sigh City gave up a fierce army in the two northeastern provinces, and Wu Zhengmin was transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang before the Li family got the survival soil.

But that's just the surface.

No matter how downtrodden the Li family is, Li Honghe is still there, although Wu Zhengmin was transferred, he further entered the decision-making bureau and became the lowest-ranked deputy minister in the cabinet, and Zhang Qi, the minister of special operations in the southeast, is also well hidden, this is only known to Qin Weibai, God knows how many cards Li Honghe still has in his hand?

This unfathomable old man, guarding in the southeast, holds an institution that seems to have little real power, but secretly has too many pawns to use.

He said he didn't have much to think about.

Who would dare to believe it?

At least Qin Weibai didn't dare to believe it.

"Everything will depend on Tianlan from now on. ”

Li Honghe said softly: "The road has been paved, although this starting point is not perfect, it is much better than expected. At the very least, as long as I don't die, he won't have any worries. ”

"But the situation is not good. ”

Qin Weibai's tone was indifferent.

In all fairness, today's Li family is already good, at least it has become Li Tianlan's help, a Jiangsu and Zhejiang that may become the foundation of the Li family in the future, an old and strong deputy minister of Zhongzhou, no one can say that such a force is weak, and in any group, this will be an important or even core component.

But the point is that the Li family is not in any group, and the Li family's opponent is not an individual, but a group.

It is a behemoth similar to the South-Eastern Group and the Special Warfare Group.

In such a comparison, the help around Li Tianlan suddenly seemed extremely loose.

A declining Li clan, a city of sighs that has just risen for decades but has lost its fierce soldiers.

As for the Giants Group...

Li Tianlan is not so much supported by the wealthy group, but rather supported by the three pillars of the giants.

Dongcheng, Bai family, Zou family.

The combined forces are indeed strong, but the support of the wealthy group is still two concepts.

"It's not good, really. ”

Li Honghe nodded: "So if you still have extra manpower, you don't need to spy on me, an old man, it's best to put it in a more useful place." ”

Qin Weibai's slender and delicate fingers gently tapped the rim of the cup.

The sound of fingernails touching a teacup is extremely empty, silent, but unusually distant.

Qin Weibai's voice sounded in the tap: "Over there in Tiandu Purgatory, how much more can you grasp?"

The Lee family has been away from the dark world for many years.

But this issue can still be the most sensitive issue in the dark world.

Li Honghe.

Grasp the purgatory of the heavenly capital.

Li Honghe didn't seem surprised by this question, he was silent for a while, and then said indifferently: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

The reason why Tiandu Purgatory was able to become the number one super force in the dark world in just three years, and its momentum was better than that of the Reincarnation Palace, there were only two main reasons.

The first is a master of decision-making who can almost override the entire dark world.

A god who has fought with Wang Tianzong more than once and has not suffered much.

The second is the pillar masters and elite legions of Tiandu Purgatory.

Senluo, immortal, immortal.

When the three palaces of Tiandu Purgatory were in the dark world, people discovered that the masters of Tiandu Purgatory were far more than Dawn Dawn and Phoenix, but also a large number of masters who appeared silently out of thin air and the elite who were truly experienced in a hundred battles.

The top masters, the calm pillars, and the elites of the hundred battles constitute the most stable structure of Tiandu Purgatory, and they have no shortcomings with their backs to the East Island, so they can become a real super force in the shortest possible time.

"All aspects. ”

Qin Weibai said lightly.

This time, Li Honghe was silent for a longer time before he said slowly: "I don't know. ”

Qin Weibai could hear that this was the truth.

But precisely because this is the truth, her emotions are a little sharp and angry.

"You don't know?"

Her eyebrows were raised.

"Don't worry. ”

Li Honghe smiled: "Tianlan's performance has been obvious to everyone over the years, and the people of the Li family have recognized him." ”

"But not everyone agrees. ”

Qin Weibai's tone was indifferent.

"It's enough for most people to agree. ”

Li Honghe's tone was flat: "As long as he is strong enough, he can get everything." I am ready for everything that should be prepared, and you are ready for what I am not prepared. ”

He looked at Qin Weibai with undisguised appreciation in his eyes: "I didn't expect that during the decisive battle of Tiandu three years ago, the silence of the reincarnation palace master would have such a big impact. After the border battle, Tiannan appeared, and Tiandu Purgatory entered Tiannan, is it your handiwork? Is this our tacit understanding?"

"I just do what I have to do. ”

Qin Weibai's voice was indifferent: "Tianlan will become stronger, the strongest, I have never doubted this." ”

"But he needs time to grow. ”

Li Honghe said in a deep voice, his tone was very heavy.

Because everyone knows how Li Tianlan will grow up.

He knows.

The Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City will not be unclear.

The Li family just wanted a soil for survival, so it directly caused the situation in the northeast and southeast of Zhongzhou to fluctuate violently, even if there was a wealthy group to support it, the price paid was still expensive.

It's just the soil for survival.

So what price does the Li family want to make Li Tianlan grow?

"I'll give her time. ”

Qin Weibai said softly: "But after he gets time, what will he get?"

The sound of fingers tapping on the rim of the cup still rings.

Poker face.

The subtle sounds seem to synchronize with the breeze, becoming softer and soother.

A butterfly flew over the marble coffee table.

The butterfly's wings fluttered lightly and eventually landed next to the teapot.

"If he has time, he can get everything. ”

Li Honghe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Everything?"

Qin Weibai laughed.

"I can't believe you. ”

"And even if you get it, there are two kinds of it, one is temporary and the other is real it," she said. Tianlan can get everything, but your existence may take everything. I have a hunch that you may live longer than everyone thinks, and Wang Tianzong slashed you with a sword and cut you to the invincible realm, which may not have a deep meaning. Elder Li, you just said that most of the people in the Li family would recognize Tianlan. ”

Her voice paused.

The butterflies at the table flew, but the two danced in sight.

Qin Weibai's voice was ethereal, faintly seemed to be synchronized with heaven and earth, and with the vibration of butterfly wings, it occupied all of people's consciousness: "So, do you recognize Tianlan?"

Butterflies dance softly.

The wind seems to be getting stronger.

The days are rising, the temperature is rising.

The sunlight faded and the air became dim.

The coffee table in front of the two remained unchanged, but the surrounding grass squirmed wildly.

The grass was swelling and completely out of control, and wildflowers appeared in the meadow, and the wildflowers quickly bloomed, and one by one the trees grew larger and taller in the meadow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The air becomes muggy and viscous.

The villa is gone.

A dense primeval jungle suddenly appeared around the two of them.

The sunlight is completely gone.

In the darkness, the table and chair in front of the two seemed to disappear, and the table top turned into a stone tablet.

Two large bright red characters are carved on the stone tablet.

Middle-earth.

Butterflies are dancing.

The wind is stronger.

The viscous and muscour air flows in the wind, and the muggy heat gradually turns to cold, and then to the bitter cold.

Snow began to fall high in the sky.

Snow covered the canopy and fell to the ground.

"Of course I agree with Tianlan. ”

Li Honghe's voice became a little sluggish, but it was still clear.

"Really?"

Qin Weibai's voice was like a heavenly sound, filling every corner of the forest, grand and clear, like a fairy sound.

"Yes. ”

Li Honghe's voice became more and more sluggish, and he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with this forest that shouldn't have appeared.

The snow was still falling in the sky.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow was rising, burying the national boundary monument of Middle-earth for that moment.

Countless trees come together, rise, rise again.

The landscape is undergoing a seismic shift.

The snowflakes are getting bigger.

Qin Weibai also didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this snow that shouldn't have appeared.

Her voice still resounded throughout the world unhurriedly: "If, I mean, if the Li madman is not dead, between him and Tianlan, what will you choose?"

Li Honghe's voice sounded a little sluggish, but it was extremely real and honest: "I don't know. ”

"What about you?"

He asked abruptly.

The universities all over the sky soared and fell almost madly.

Countless trees are still rising and gathering.

The forest is gone.

So the trees that rose and gathered together became mountains.

The mountains are covered with snow, and the mountains are all over the fields.

"Of course I chose Tianlan. ”

Qin Weibai's voice was gentle and affectionate, similar to murmuring.

"Really?"

Li Honghe's sluggish voice gradually became smooth: "Why are you so good to him?" or..."

He looked at Qin Weibai: "Who are you?"

"I am..."

"Boom!"

Qin Weibai seemed to say the answer, but Li Honghe couldn't hear it clearly, the whole world completely collapsed in an instant, the drifting snow, the collapsed snow-capped mountains, and the messy sky completely disappeared in an instant.

Li Honghe snorted.

The world is restored.

In front of the two of them was still a coffee table.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the fragrance of tea is scattered.

The butterflies are still there.

It's just that it became two.

One stopped in front of Qin Weibai.

One fell into the hands of Li Honghe.

Li Honghe looked at Qin Weibai.

There was something strange in his eyes.

Qin Weibai's flawless face changed, staring at the butterfly in Li Honghe's hand.

"You want to hypnotize me?!"

Qin Weibai's voice was extremely cold.

"You're going to hypnotize me. ”

Li Honghe said softly.

Qin Weibai was silent.

In the spiritual realm, both of them were masters, and in an instant she understood what was going on.

The primeval forest at the beginning, the boundary monument of Middle-earth, everything is normal.

Because that is the world in Li Honghe's heart, it is the border.

But there shouldn't be snow at the border.

The moment the snow fell appeared, it was the beginning of Li Honghe's counterattack.

That vast snow, that snow-capped mountain, is Qin Weibai's inner world.

The only world!

Qin Weibai recognized Li Honghe's inner world.

That's the real Middle-earth border.

Li Honghe also recognized Qin Weibai's inner world.

That's the real Kunlun of Middle-earth.

That piece of snow, that mountain, can almost be regarded as the center of the special operations system in Middle-earth.

It was the Qingyun Snow Peak of Kunlun.

Under the snowy peaks.

It is Kunlun City in Zhongzhou.

The two worlds changed so naturally, Qin Weibai, who originally wanted to hypnotize Li Honghe, didn't notice it for a while, but instead of getting the truth he wanted, he almost fell into Li Honghe's trap.

The confrontation in the spiritual realm is even more thrilling than the battle between martial arts, because it is almost a torture of the soul.

Li Honghe fell into the invincible realm, and his will was unstable.

Qin Weibai was also in a trance in the face of the parting that would not get together again.

Qin Weibai took a deep breath and calmed down again.

She may have said something just now, but she believed that Li Honghe couldn't hear it.

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of self-preservation. ”

Li Honghe smiled: "Similarly, I didn't expect you to be hypnotic in this way." ”

He looked at Qin Weibai: "The field of hypnosis is broad and profound, and the effects are different depending on the technique. ”

Li Honghe touched the butterfly in his hand: "I'm sure that there is only one person who knows this trick at the moment, except for me, but that person is not you." ”

His smile was a little complicated and confused: "So can you tell me, who taught you this technique?"

Qin Weibai glanced at Li Honghe coldly and said nothing.

"Huh, Grandpa Li, it's windy to drink tea here. ”

A voice suddenly rang out.

Lin appeared in front of the two leisurely, with a bright smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. ”

Li Honghe smiled: "Look at the butterflies." ”

He raised his hand.

The butterfly flew up and flew past Lin Fengting's eyes.

"What butterfly?"

Lin leisurely looked puzzled.

"Gone. ”

Qin Weibai stood up suddenly.

She took a deep look at Li Honghe and said calmly: "I don't know whether to believe your statement or not. My distrust of you stems from that cemetery. I know what you've done. ”

Lin was leisurely, so what she said wasn't entirely clear.

Li Honghe condensed the death qi formed by nearly a thousand dead people of the Li family into a huge fortune, almost doomed Li Tianlan to the inevitable destiny of death, in the face of Li Honghe, how could Qin Weibai believe it?

The light in Li Honghe's eyes flashed, and he smiled bitterly: "I understand." But I didn't have a choice. If I had a choice, I wouldn't do that. ”

He sighed softly, looked at Qin Weibai, and said softly but sincerely: "I also know what you and Wuwei have done. Thank you. ”

"I'm leaving. ”

Qin Weibai shook his head.

Li Honghe stood up behind her and bowed deeply to the young woman who was nominally his granddaughter-in-law: "Thank you." ”

Lin Youxian was startled.

Qin Weibai didn't look back.

Li Honghe looked at her back with a calm expression.

He knew what Qin Weibai had done, and naturally he would know what kind of consequences she would have to bear.

This woman, who only has a vast snow in her heart, wants to respond to the catastrophe for Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan thinks this is just a parting.

But Li Honghe knew it.

With her departure this time, there really won't be a future.

No matter what happens in the future, Li Tianlan and the Li family will no longer have her perfect figure in the final sky.

Qin Weibai turned around lightly and walked out of the villa.

The splendor of the whole early summer seemed to wither away like winter in an instant as she turned around.

Her figure was a little lonely.
