When I arrived at the No. 1 Courtyard of Wudong New District, it happened to be a meal.

Dongcheng is very familiar with the council compound of Wudong New District, and after taking out the pass, the road is unimpeded, and when the red sports car with the fuel tank has bottomed out is parked in front of Building No. 1, the graceful and elegant Dongcheng Qiuchi has come out to greet him.

She was followed by a young man who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, dressed casually, and looking suave, amiable and kind.

"Didn't you come here in the afternoon?

Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled and touched his sister's head and asked softly.

This is a woman who is very much like her mother, similar not to her appearance, but to the kind of gentle and elegant and naturally noble temperament, just like the peony of the Central Plains Province, graceful and beautiful, dignified and atmospheric.

Dongcheng looked at Li Tianlan.

No matter how slow she was, she knew that the whereabouts of the afternoon were secrets that could not be said, and said crisply: "I went to pick out gifts for my sister and brother-in-law." ”

Li Tianlan sent over a delicately packaged scroll in his hand and chuckled: "Sister Qiuchi, a little heart." ”

It's really just a little bit of a heart.

After coming out of the Blue Sky Group, he and Dongcheng casually entered a nearby Chinese painting shop and picked a Chinese painting from it.

A painting of less than 20,000 yuan is still a card swiped by Dongcheng.

In the picture scroll is a picture of a long journey, given to high-ranking officials in the political circles, and no one will not like it.

Dongcheng Qiuchi looked at Li Tianlan with a smile.

Her smile was dignified and warm, but her eyes were extremely complicated when she looked at Li Tianlan.

"It's all family. ”

She took the scroll casually and said softly, "What are you doing so politely?"

Li Tianlan smiled and rolled his gaze.

Dongcheng Qiuchi introduced in a timely manner: "Tianlan, this is my lover Zou Yuanshan, this time I led a team to Huating to investigate, and by the way, come to see me." ”

"Sister Qiuchi and her brother-in-law are really a perfect match, which is enviable. ”

Li Tianlan stretched out his hand and smiled: "Brother-in-law, I am Li Tianlan." ”

He had heard the name Zou Yuanshan more than once.

The first time I heard this name, it was mentioned by Dongcheng Qiuchi, three years ago, Zou Yuanshan was still the mayor of Luojing.

The last time I heard this name, it was mentioned by Zai, on the way from Qindao to the Central Plains, Zai quietly introduced the wealthy group, especially the important people close to the Dongcheng family, to Li Tianlan, including the name of Zou Yuanshan.

Zou Yuanshan, male, 37 years old, took a step forward from the position of mayor of Luojing City two years ago, and is now one of the directors of the Central Plains Province and the leader of Luojing City.

In the entire Zhongzhou political arena, Zou Yuanshan and Dongcheng Qiuchi can now be regarded as one of the most eye-catching couples, young and promising, with unlimited potential, it can be said that it is the focus of major groups in Zhongzhou.

Zou Yuanshan is three years older than Dongcheng Qiuchi, but the pace of promotion is always one step slower than his wife, this is not because Zou Yuanshan's potential and ability are not as good as Dongcheng Qiuchi, but because some very special reasons suppressed his promotion footsteps.

Now with the invincible march of Dongcheng, the rise rate of Dongcheng Qiuchi should slow down accordingly in the future, and Zou Yuanshan will usher in a real explosive period.

What is the future of the two, it still depends on how the representative families of the three wealthy groups, the Dongcheng family, the Zou family, and the Bai family, operate.

"It's all a family, brother, I won't call you Your Highness, Shengfen. How about I call you by your name in the future?"

Zou Yuanshan held Li Tianlan's hand, his tone was easy-going, he was not a very handsome man, but he had a very approachable affinity, very elegant, and very sincere.

"I can't ask for it. ”

Li Tianlan held Zou Yuanshan's hand and exerted himself slightly.

At night, street lamps are lit in front of the door of No. 1 Courtyard.

The soft glow of the street lamp shone down, pulling the two men and two women in front of the door into several long shadows.

Two men face to face shaking hands.

The palms of both sides were held in the shadows, looking trance-like, but with full strength.

The two looked at each other and smiled, smiling very simply, and their minds were also very simple.

Zou Yuanshan would not have thought that the young man in front of him would become the most powerful backer in his political career in the future.

Li Tianlan also would not have thought that the brother-in-law in front of him would become his strongest pillar in politics in the future.

Many of the final endings are actually predestined when they meet for the first time.

Several people walked into the villa in the No. 1 courtyard.

The air conditioning was on in the hall of the villa and the air was cool.

"You talk first. ”

Dongcheng Qiuchi made Li Tianlan a cup of tea, and greeted with a smile: "If you come with me to help in the kitchen, it will be almost fine." ”

Dongcheng answered and followed his sister over.

Zou Yuanshan took out a bottle of Wuliangye from the wine cabinet next to him, casually pushed the tea in front of Li Tianlan aside, and chuckled: "Qiu Chi is not like words, he said that you are not polite, and he is polite to you." Tianlan, you can accompany me to have two more drinks tonight, and you will stay here, and there is a place. ”

His smile is very easy-going, but Li Tianlan feels a little ill-intentioned no matter how he looks at it, this kind of smile, he often sees it when Li Baitian or Ning Qiancheng has a prank, Li Tianlan smiled dumbly, but his heart really gradually relaxed, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I live here with Ru, I'm afraid it will disturb you and Sister Qiuchi's reunion, right?"

Zou Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, his appearance was elegant and elegant, but his smile at this time was indescribably free and easy, and it was extremely infectious.

"Old husband and wife, not as passionate as you young people. ”

Zou Yuanshan sat next to Li Tianlan, poured him a full glass of liquor, and said mysteriously: "And Tianlan, don't worry, this place is soundproofed, I heard that the house in Xishan is almost soundproof, and she didn't move there after discussing it with me." If you don't believe it, brother will take you to try it?"

"No, I don't. ”

Li Tianlan couldn't cry or laugh.

West Hill is the location of the Huating Council Compound.

Dongcheng Qiuchi is one of the directors of Huating, and can be regarded as one of the leaders of the entire Huating, but her actual position is the leader of Wudong New District, so she has rarely interfered in the affairs of other places in Huating, and it is a bit of a gesture to be a director of the raised hand, but such a stable style also allows her to operate Wudong New District without leakage, she does not affect the entire Huating, and it is difficult for other directors of Huating to affect Wudong New District.

Dongcheng Qiuchi lives here, and the side can be regarded as showing his attitude, for the sake of sound insulation or something, it's too nonsense.

"Don't say much about this, Tianlan, you are Zhongzhou Tianjiao, and I fully support you and such things. ”

Zou Yuanshan patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, have a drink first." ”

Two wine glasses full of liquor touched each other, Zou Yuanshan was heroic, Li Tianlan was also heroic, and the two drank it all.

Zou Yuanshan put down the wine glass, looked at Li Tianlan, whose face did not change, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "You sit down first, I'll go get two appetizers, let's drink slowly." ”

Li Tianlan nodded, looked at Zou Yuanshan's back, thoughtful.

......

The sister flowers in the kitchen are another sight.

Dongcheng Qiuchi cut vegetables, looked at his sister who was washing fruits by the pool, and said with a smile: "If so, why did you come with Tianlan?"

"Huh?"

Dongcheng subconsciously responded: "Grandpa knew that Tianlan was going to the Central Plains, so he let me go over from Youzhou, so we came to Huating together." ”

"So what did you say along the way?

Dongcheng Qiuchi looked at his sister's back with complicated eyes and said quietly.

"Didn't say that. ”

Dongcheng said honestly, in fact, along the way, the two didn't even talk much.

As if thinking of something, Dongcheng Ru's clear eyes dimmed slightly, and said softly: "Sister, I did something wrong in Tiandu, he may be angry, so he doesn't want to marry me." ”

"Nonsense. ”

Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled and shook his head: "Tianlan is not such a cautious person, why is he angry that he doesn't want to marry you? ”

"But he didn't listen to me at all, and I didn't see him until today after I came back from Tiandu, and I never had a chance to talk about him. ”

Dongcheng seemed to be a little aggrieved: "I originally wanted to talk to him, but now I don't dare to say it, if he is still angry, he may ignore me again." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Dongcheng Qiuchi asked helplessly: "Tell my sister, I'll help you think of a way." ”

Dongcheng shook his head silently and remained silent.

"Okay, don't think about it, isn't tonight just a chance?"

Dongcheng Qiuchi put the dishes into the pot with a smile, walked to Dongcheng and whispered in his ear: "I have arrangements tonight, don't go, I told your brother-in-law before I came, and now the two of them are fighting wine." Your brother-in-law is famous for not getting drunk at the wine table, and I will ask your brother-in-law to put Tianlan down in a while, and then you can coax him well. ”

......

In less than three minutes, Zou Yuanshan had already brought two plates of snacks and dishes.

A stack of peanuts and a stack of cucumbers, he sat down next to Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "The sisters don't know what to mutter in the kitchen, anyway, there is no hurry to eat, let's drink first." Tianlan, I must accompany you to drink well tonight, let me tell you, if there are no guests at home, as long as I go home, your sister will usually give me a ban on alcohol, and I will have a good drink tonight. Come. ”

Li Tianlan looked at this brother-in-law who was really a little talkative but not annoying, shook his head, and drank the wine glass again.

The wine glass is larger.

A glass of wine is more than two taels.

After two glasses of wine, Zou Yuanshan's gaze suddenly deepened.

He poured another glass of wine: "This glass of wine is my toast to you, the decisive battle of Tiandu, I don't know much, but it is said that you turned the tide, just by virtue of this, I have to have a drink with you, Zhongzhou Tianjiao, this title is placed on Tianlan you, I am convinced." ”

"It was complicated, brother-in-law, I wasn't as noble as you said. ”

Li Tianlan shook his head, remembering the night three years ago, the woman who accompanied him to watch the starry sky in Tiandu.

Not counting a mirage at sea.

That was the last time he saw Qin Weibai.

She is more beautiful than the starry sky.

"Whatever you may say, you have merit. ”

Zou Yuanshan ate a peanut: "If it weren't for you, Zhongzhou would have suffered a heavy loss that time." In the past few years, many people in Zhongzhou have talked about it, saying that your foundation in Tiandu is completely ruined, and you are afraid of retaliation, so you hid, Tianlan, I don't know martial arts, but when you came back this time, how did you recover?"

Li Tianlan was stunned.

This question is a question for others.

It's a problem for him as well.

Because there is no reference to his path.

But there's nothing to keep secret.

So he thought about it seriously before he said slowly: "It's hard to say." It's just that if you talk about the realm, it's probably equivalent to entering the thunder realm for the first time, right?"

Twenty-two years old.

First into the thunder realm.

Zou Yuanshan naturally didn't know how old the youngest Thunder Realm master in the dark world was in the past two hundred years.

He had no concept of martial arts, but he also knew that above the Thunder Realm was the Invincible Realm.

So he nodded clearly: "That's very good, the one from the Beihai Wang Clan, it seems that you also entered the Thunder Realm at your age back then, and you are no worse than him." ”

Li Tianlan smiled.

He was still far from the invincible realm he had expected.

If you want to get to that point, you need to go through three different stages.

According to the four realms of martial arts, the difference of three small realms is almost equivalent to entering and exiting the thunder realm.

Of course, this is just the so-called realm.

The realm can explain a lot of things, but many times, the realm can't explain anything.

"What's next?"

Zou Yuanshan clinked glasses with Li Tianlan.

The Moutai on the table is gone.

So he unceremoniously opened another bottle.

"Let's graduate first, the dark world is a little chaotic now, take a step at a time. ”

Li Tianlan drank wine and said casually.

"Why don't you go to the military?"

Zou Yuanshan quietly suggested: "My father-in-law is now the actual number one in the military department, if you develop in the military, it is much stronger than fighting in the dark world, and your strength is about the same, the border forbidden army may be a good place, at least it is very suitable for you." ”

Li Tianlan was silent for a while before he said softly: "The Border Forbidden Legion, it's not easy to go now." ”

Dongcheng Invincible has jumped from the Frontier Forbidden Legion, known as the small military department, to the de facto number one of the entire Central Continent military.

Although he is still serving as the commander of the Border Forbidden Corps, this position of great power has actually become the focus of attention of major groups.

Wealthy groups also tend to use this position to do deals with other groups.

This position is not unretained, but it can be used for trading to obtain greater benefits, if this position is firmly held, even if the new commander of the Border Forbidden Legion is still a member of the wealthy group, but Dongcheng Invincible will become very passive in Youzhou, and some of the backbone of the wealthy group will also be affected.

For example, Zou Yuanshan in front of him.

"There's nothing bad about going, if you want to go, you can go at any time, the worst is the deputy commander of a certain army, the border forbidden army has always been the foundation of the Dongcheng family, and it's not easy to arrange individuals?"

Zou Yuanshan didn't care about the road.

"But that's not in the interest. ”

Li Tianlan looked into his eyes: "It may also affect my brother-in-law." ”

Zou Yuanshan paused, he looked at Li Tianlan in some surprise, as if he didn't expect the other party to see it so thoroughly.

He immediately shook his head: "It's just two years late, I have an age advantage, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm the son-in-law of the Dongcheng family, we are our own people, I don't want to change your path in two years, what am I going to be a brother-in-law?"

Li Tianlan shook his head with a smile, and took the initiative to toast Zou Yuanshan with a glass of wine: "The military is not suitable for me." ”

Zou Yuanshan frowned and didn't say much.

Li Tianlan is not pedantic.

When the special operations group and the Beihai Wang clan blocked the living space of the special operations system, he also knew that it was a good choice to go to the military and the border ban corps.

But not to mention whether Li Tianlan, who is burdened with the glory of the Li family, is willing to do this, that is, the favor of the Dongcheng family, he can't afford it.

The relationship between him and the Dongcheng family can't be hidden from everyone.

Once Li Tianlan went to the Border Forbidden Legion, the Dongcheng family was tantamount to releasing a signal to everyone that they were unwilling to give up the Border Forbidden Legion.

This will block the path of too many people.

The first to bear the brunt is Zou Yuanshan.

Zou Yuanshan is the son-in-law of the Dongcheng family, but more importantly, he is the heir of the Zou family, a wealthy group.

The Zou family is also a giant family of the wealthy group, and its father Zou Mulin is now the director of the Zhongzhou Decision-making Bureau, although the real power is not particularly prominent, but the giant ranking is above the invincible in Dongcheng.

It is precisely because Zou Mulin's position is too high, so in order to avoid suspicion, Zou Yuanshan's promotion in recent years has been a little slow.

But Zou Mulin will retire in a few years.

His retirement will inevitably be exchanged for Zou Yuanshan's power advancement, which is the rule and the so-called balance.

Therefore, the first few years of Zou Mulin's retirement are very critical.

If the wealthy group uses the border forbidden army as a bargaining chip to trade with other groups, there will definitely be a share of Zou Yuanshan in the benefits in exchange, he is now the leader of the capital city of the Central Plains, and if he is one step closer, he is qualified to directly serve as the governor of the province.

The wealthy group handed over the border ban army, and Zou Mulin's advancement was easy to be accepted by all parties, so that when Zou Mulin retreated, even if Zou Yuanshan could not rush into the decision-making bureau in one step, he would at least be able to truly take charge of a province and lay the most solid foundation.

But if Li Tianlan goes to the Border Forbidden Army and the wealthy group refuses to trade, it will be difficult for Zou Yuanshan to move first, so when Zou Mulin retreats, Zou Yuanshan is moving...

The first and second leaders of the province seem to be at the same level, but in fact, in the eyes of the high-level people, their weight is completely heaven and earth.

To exaggerate it, whether Li Tianlan went to the Border Forbidden Army or not directly affected the highest point of Zou Yuanshan's future career.

Where is this such a simple question of a few years?

Moreover, the special operations group has been in charge of the military department for a long time, this time their banner man Qi Beicang retreated, and the special operations group also gained a lot of benefits from it, but it appeared to be even stronger, Dongcheng Invincible had an extremely difficult time after taking the position, and the wealthy group also urgently needed to exchange the 550,000 troops of the Border Forbidden Army for a large number of chips, so that Dongcheng Invincible established authority in Youzhou.

Whether Li Tianlan goes to the border ban army or not will even affect the overall situation of the wealthy group in the future.

Li Tianlan really can't afford to owe such a favor.

If he follows the will of the Dongcheng family, he will enter the army.

That would mean that the Dongcheng family was directly standing on the opposite side of Kunlun City and the Beihai Wang clan, and there was no room for buffer.

His future success or failure will also directly determine the rise and fall of the Dongcheng family and even the entire wealthy group.

Although this kind of top wealthy family does not have invincible realm powerhouses, they have a deep heritage and a well-developed relationship, and their direct support is even more important than the support of the entire Sigh City, and it can also affect the overall situation more.

For the first time, Li Tianlan felt that he was so important.

But he'd rather he wasn't so important.

Li Tianlan shook his head and said softly: "I am still willing to develop in the special warfare system, this is the most suitable battlefield for me." ”

It's the battlefield.

A battlefield suitable for his development, not the soil.

Even if he was the only one in the battlefield to face the Beihai King Clan and Kunlun City, it would be the most suitable for him.

Li Tianlan's eyes were very calm.

Zou Yuanshan saw the glint in his eyes that was flickering under the calm.

It was a ray of absolute confidence.

He couldn't figure it out, where did a young man who had just entered the thunder realm get so much confidence?

...

PS：

It's a certain plot familiar to old readers, I don't think it's boring, special warfare is different from old books after all.

The special combat force value is high, but in the final analysis, it is still a city, and the worldview is so big, there is no other world, there is no ascension, it is the earth.

But I want to write a lot, in every way I want to write... Akichi and his wife are both very important characters, so even if there is such a plot, it must be completely different from the old book.
