The ancestral hall of the Dongcheng family is built in the middle of the mountainside, covers an area of about 1,500 square meters, brick and wood structure, blue bricks and green tiles, the sky of the gate archway is carved with the four characters of the Dongcheng ancestral hall, arranged from right to left, the scarlet ink is stained with handwriting, but it does not look sad, but there is a kind of magnificent beauty, a stone drum is placed on the left and right sides of the gate, every detail of the entire ancestral hall is full of a clear simplicity and solemnity.

Before he thoroughly understood the purpose of the Dongcheng family, Li Tianlan really didn't want to come, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a suitable reason to refuse.

Li Tianlan also knows very well that Dongcheng Hanguang took himself to the ancestral hall to offer incense, which must have regarded him as a close junior, or even a grandson-in-law, this is giving face, if he refuses too simply, it will be a slap in the face.

No matter what purpose is hidden under the enthusiastic appearance of the Dongcheng family, or whether the Dongcheng family will be friends or foes in the future, it is definitely inappropriate to turn the other cheek now.

The afternoon weather was warm and sunny with just the right amount of sunshine.

The ancestral hall of the Dongcheng family is surrounded by trees on three sides, making it more quiet and peaceful.

Under the mottled shadow of the trees, Dongcheng Invincible and Dongcheng Hanguang, who arrived first, stood in the backlight, looking at Li Tianlan who got out of the car, his face was calm, but his eyes were full of joy.

"Old man. ”

Li Tianlan took the initiative to walk over and say hello, looked at Dongcheng Invincible again, nodded and said, "Handsome." ”

Dongcheng Invincible nodded with a smile and did not speak, this Zhongzhou marshal was almost majestic and dignified most of the time, with murderous intent, and only when facing his family, he would take off his mask, and at present, Li Tianlan seemed to be the first person to be treated specially.

Dongcheng Hanguang frowned, glanced at Li Tianlan, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, is it so difficult for you to call grandpa?" Even if my relationship with your grandfather is not as good as that of him and a few holy guards around him, but it can be regarded as a friend of life and death, if you don't call it now, it will not be the same as if you get married in the future?"

Li Tianlan's face was embarrassed, he looked at Dongcheng Invincible, and subconsciously wanted him to help solve the siege, but instead of stepping forward, Dongcheng Invincible winked at him, and his smile became more and more intense.

He touched his nose and was about to speak, but Dongcheng Hanguang had already continued: "I have prepared an invitation here." Next month, at the end of next month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, when you come back, you kid will come back, if so, I will get engaged to you next month, don't worry about the holidays, I will say hello to your principal. ”

Tough and domineering, this engagement is completely like a notice for Li Tianlan, and it seems that there is no room for him to resist at all.

Li Tianlan frowned slightly, for the first time since he came to the Dongcheng family, he showed obvious resistance, and his tone became a little heavier, and he said coldly: "Old man, I said, I already have a girlfriend." ”

The smile on Dongcheng Hanguang's face froze, he looked at Li Tianlan, whose momentum had changed completely, frowned, and said gloomily: "Qin Weibai is indeed a character, but you are now in Zhongzhou, she can't give you anything, no matter how strong the palace master of reincarnation is, the other party here can't affect it, if you develop overseas, Qin Weibai is your best choice, but in Zhongzhou, the Dongcheng family is the most suitable for you, and only the Dongcheng family is suitable for you, you kid is confused." ”

"Tianlan, there are some things that you should think about clearly, don't be emotional. You are different from others, you carry so many things that you can't bear it yourself. You are extremely talented, and it is no problem for you to grow up and enter the invincible realm, but even if you are a master of the invincible realm, you are alone, how can you restore the glory of the Li family? The help you need, the Dongcheng family can give you, without reservation, how much help this will give you, don't you know yourself?"

Li Tianlan looked at the cold light of Dongcheng expressionlessly, and said nothing.

These words are extremely harsh, but from another point of view, why not be serious?

Dongcheng Hanguang sighed, shook his head, and continued: "Invincible took over your father's position back then, and in twenty years, he should have moved a long time ago, why not move? Not waiting for you? No matter what, he can't let the Border Guard Legion fall into the hands of others, if he moves, Lei Zi can hold up for a few years for the time being, but there is no successor, what should I do after that?"

He looked at Li Tianlan's eyes and said flatly: "I know that you have a good relationship with Zhuang Huayang, and that Invincible has a very good personal relationship with the head of the academy, do you understand what it means?"

Li Tianlan raised his head and raised his eyebrows.

As the ruling group today, when it comes to the head of the academy, if there is no specific name, it can only be that one.

Dongcheng Invincible has such an identity and has a good relationship with that one, what does this mean?

Li Tianlan really has too little understanding of the situation between the upper echelons of Zhongzhou, but at least he is very clear about the fact that there is not harmony between the academic faction and the princely group, and the alternation of the two ruling groups before and after will definitely produce a fierce game in the process.

Zhuang Huayang said that the discourse power of the academic faction in the special operations system is extremely weak, so how much more can the discourse power of the academic faction be in the military, which is closely connected with the special warfare system?

This is already the third year of that chief's ascension, and the first term is about to expire, so he must take the opportunity to expand his influence in such an important reality.

If you can't go up with your own people, you can only find allies.

Dongcheng is invincible, will it be an ally that the academy needs?

As one of the members of the Central Continent Decision-making Bureau, controlling the 550,000 troops of the Border Guard Legion, Dongcheng Invincible's position in the military can be described as a real person above 10,000 people, if the academic faction regards him as an ally, it will definitely not be the support of the 550,000 troops of the Border Guard Legion, but the dominance of the entire military.

Dongcheng Invincible is one step closer, where can you go?

It seems that there is only the position of director of the Central Continent Decision-making Bureau, the executive director of the military department.

If he is still a member of the decision-making bureau, then no matter where he goes, it can be said that he will rise and fall secretly, and he will become a member of the decision-making bureau one step closer, presiding over the daily work of the Zhongzhou military, and only this position is worthy of him, and it is also what Dongcheng Invincible and the Dongcheng family need most.

After Dongcheng is invincible, Thor can hold up for a few years, listen to the meaning of Dongcheng Hanguang, after Thor, the Dongcheng family hopes that they can control the 550,000 army of the Border Guard Legion?

A few years later, when he reached the Thunder Realm, he did have this qualification, and he took the road of the military, entered the decision-making bureau, and went from a councilor to a councilor, such a path can also restore the importance of the Li family in the past.

And take this road, as long as you grow fast enough and marry Dongcheng, you can get the full support of the wealthy group.

At present, the risk of doing so is also small, and Dongcheng Hanguang said that he used the entire family as a dowry, which is really not just talking.

The alliance between the academic faction and the Dongcheng family, Zhuang Huayang's support for himself, and the generous and relaxed conditions seem to be gradually connected.

Could it be that the old fox knew that the Dongcheng family had something to do with him from the beginning?

"Boy, don't let your grandfather down, the Dongcheng family is willing to do their best to pave the way for you, you just need to go up. ”

Dongcheng Hanguang said slowly: "And the big man's three wives and four concubines are righteous, as long as you are good in the future, who will not let go of some of your private affairs?

"Not coming. ”

Li Tianlan said lightly, he refused neatly, and his tone was even more resolute, looking at Dongcheng Hanguang's eyes that suddenly became angry, he smiled and said calmly: "I don't want to disappoint grandpa, but I don't want to disappoint myself, old man, I don't need three wives and four concubines, just one is enough." The path you pointed out is good, but it is not suitable for me, the Li clan only belongs to the special operations system, I will take back everything from the Li clan, yes, take it back. And not to get anything on the road of the Dongcheng family. I am from the Li family, not from the Dongcheng family. ”

Dongcheng Invincible turned his head, looked at the woods outside the ancestral hall, and was silent.

Dongcheng Hanguang looked at Li Tianlan in a daze, his eyes were not angry, but a kind of sadness and pain that Li Tianlan couldn't understand, and even a trace of guilt.

"Your father..."

He opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "He was also the commander of the Border Guard Legion back then. ”

"That's different. ”

Twenty years ago, when the international situation was at its most tense, border conflicts between various countries were frequent, and the Central Continent Praetorian Guard Corps at that time had just been established, and its personnel organization was not as huge as it is now.

How can this be the same?

Dongcheng Hanguang smiled bitterly, and suddenly remembered the name of Dongcheng Huangtu, if there was no accident, this name Li Tianlan also knew from Qin Weibai.

Qin Weibai... Qin Weibai...

"What kind of ecstasy soup did that woman pour you, Tianlan, you'd better stay away from her. ”

Dongcheng Hanguang took a deep breath and said sincerely.

Li Tianlan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said indifferently: "I don't have to worry about this matter, the old man." ”

"Alright, Dad, let's go in first, it's time. ”

Dongcheng Invincible saw that the atmosphere was about to stiffen, and he had to stand up and play a round, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

The old man and Tianlan have completely different mentalities now, and this last sentence obviously shouldn't be said now.

Dongcheng Hanguang came back to his senses slightly, and said with a sigh: "Where is your uncle?"

There are five brothers in the old man's generation, but in the past many years, three of them have died on the battlefield, and today, only himself and the youngest Dongcheng Hanjian are left.

Dongcheng Hanjian also lives in the mountains, not far away, but I don't know why it hasn't appeared until now.

"I'll call my uncle, Dad, you take Tianlan and Qiuchi to go in first. ”

Dongcheng Invincible spoke, and took out his mobile phone.

Dongcheng Hanguang nodded, took Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Qiuchi, and walked directly into the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall house of Dongcheng is divided into three entrances, the space is very large, the first entrance is the stage, the left and right sides are the wing rooms and wine houses, the original ancient buildings, walking here, as if entering another era.

The second entrance is the main hall.

On weekdays, all the important meetings of the Dongcheng family are basically held here.

The third entrance is the forbidden place of the Dongcheng family, which is an independent courtyard with the spirit tablets of all the deceased of the Dongcheng family, and the area occupies almost one-third of the ancestral hall.

Dongcheng Hanguang was the first to walk into the third courtyard, the courtyard with a large space was quiet and quiet, and the internal space was large, but it did not seem spacious, but it seemed a little crowded.

One stone tablet after another appeared in front of Li Tianlan's eyes, like a stone forest.

Each stele is densely engraved with small characters, and a large number of steles are arranged together, which is an indescribable shock.

Li Tianlan subconsciously held his breath and started to look at the first stone tablet.

Piece after piece.

The contents on the stele are the same, but not identical.

Each stone tablet is engraved with the life deeds of the deceased of the Dongcheng family.

The courtyard became quieter.

All the noise seems to have vanished.

Li Tianlan walked silently, looking at the stone tablets one after another, and understanding these stone tablets was almost equivalent to understanding the Dongcheng family, which had been inherited to the seventh generation of the Dongcheng Invincible generation.

For hundreds of years, this was the heart and soul of the Dongcheng family.

All the time!

Thirty-seven stone tablets.

The life of thirty-seven people.

Thirty-one people were killed in battle, and six died 'at the end of their lives'.

Li Tianlan's face was flushed, and he only felt his heart stirring, standing here as if he was standing in front of the large cemetery behind the border camp.

It's just that this time Li Tianlan has no resentment in his heart, only glory remains.

This is the glory and tragedy of the entire Dongcheng family.

It's a crazy family, a glorious and cold-blooded family.

A family that sees killing as honorable.

Each stone tablet is engraved with two sentences, one in front and one in the back, neatly and uniformly, one stroke at a time.

"Don't back down, even if it's warm. Don't look back, even if you're nostalgic. On the road to indomitable progress, in addition to the corpses of the losers, there are also the songs of the winners. ”

"We deserved to die. ”

Is this the motto of the entire Dongcheng family?

Li Tianlan wanted to laugh, but his heart was unprecedentedly agitated and heroic, and the stone monument in front of him was neat, like a forest of heroic souls.

Behind these stone tablets is the Dongcheng family's determination to kill and die in the same vein for hundreds of years.

We died as we deserved.

Die well deserved!

Li Tianlan subconsciously clenched his fists, and there was an emotion that almost made him look up to the sky and roar in his heart.

He took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the stone forest in front of him, just for the dozens of cold-blooded and hot-blooded heroes of the Dongcheng family.

"This is the Dongcheng family, Tianlan, as long as you are willing, such a family is willing to spare no effort to help you in the next few decades, but if you ask for something, you will respond!"

Dongcheng's cold light voice sounded in front of Li Tianlan, sonorous and powerful.

"Help me?"

Li Tianlan straightened up and looked at the cold light of Dongcheng.

Dongcheng Hanguang looked at him without flinching, and all kinds of emotions in his eyes were flickering, which was extremely complicated.

Li Tianlan subconsciously turned his head, avoiding the old man's gaze, and said softly: "Why?"

"Old man, don't talk about the love between the Dongcheng family and the Li family back then, I'm not so noble, if it's just because of the affection, if I change it, I won't risk the destruction of the clan to pay, I can't do it, so I don't think others can do it." ”

He said in an indifferent tone: "So, the Dongcheng family helps me like this, what do you want?"

"Kids. ”

Dongcheng Hanguang said in a calm tone: "You and Ru have a marriage contract, I want a child with you and Ru, it's as simple as that." ”

"Nothing else?"

"Yes, but I can't say. ”

"Oh, then I can't believe it. ”

Li Tianlan laughed at himself and said slowly: "Moreover, I can't give what you want." ”

He looked at the stone tablet in front of him, stepped forward, and said softly: "Old man, after the incense, I am going back to Huating, my girlfriend is still waiting for me, I miss her very much." ”

"I'll go with you. ”

Dongcheng Hanguang nodded.

Li Tianlan paused, suddenly turned around, his eyes were like knives.

Dongcheng Hanguang was still in a light and breezy posture, and chuckled: "Don't be nervous, just talk to her, by the way, there are some things, I need Mr. Qin to solve my old man's doubts." ”
