Chapter 4 Mind
Seeing Duan Chengpeng being carried down, Li Tianquan's heart failed to land, but hung higher and higher. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he was really restless, so he got up to meet the mysterious lobbyist.
It was a thin, middle-aged man with a short, well-trimmed beard. Seeing Li Tianquan come in, he put down a jade weapon he was playing with in his hand and said with a smile: "Elder Li, why should you be so alarmed?"
Li Tianquan froze and said with a wry smile: "This matter is too important, how can I make up my mind? That person's promise, there will be no change, right?"
The middle-aged man's face showed slight displeasure, and he said lightly: "I only have someone who speaks lightly, Elder Li can not believe it." But the seal I brought with me can't be faked, and this is also what Elder Li personally has seen. So what I said was what the Lord meant. What's more, those few sentences were confessed by the adults themselves, and a single word was not added or reduced. ”
Li Tianquan said with a smile: "That's good, that's good! Don't blame the old man for being careful, it's really that Zhao Valve and those people are too arrogant and unscrupulous." If they do come to the door, it will be a big deal. ”
The middle-aged man with a few surnames didn't care, and stroked his beard and said: "No matter how arrogant Zhao Valve is, there must be a law to act, and this empire is not surnamed Zhao." ”
"Yes, yes. Li Tianquan nodded again and again, and suddenly felt a lot more settled.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, and said nonchalantly: "My lord's words have long been famous all over the world." But the adults have said so, but Elder Li's affairs can't be done, and some can't be justified, right?"
Li Tianquan was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "What else do you need the old man to do?"
The middle-aged man said lightly: "Actually, it's very simple, Elder Li only needs to hand over the mirror water cleansing to me, and then go away and fly high, there is no proof of this matter, and that mirror water cleansing has never been in the hands of Elder Li." Even if Zhao Valve wants to blame, he won't blame you. ”
Li Tianquan forced a smile and said, "This, and let the old man think about it." ”
Mr. Yu said with a smile: "It's all this time, what else does Elder Li have to think about? Could it be that Elder Li thinks that there is still room for a turn with Zhao Valve? But this matter should not be urgent, but you are right." Opening a new family, that's not just talking, territory, people, resources, military strength, everything is indispensable. Even in the hands of that adult, there are only two such territories, and how many people are staring at it!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao arched his hand and said that he was sending off the guest: "Elder Li might as well think about this matter slowly, and don't be in a hurry. ”
Li Tianquan said: "Thank you, Mr. for the point, the old man will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible." ”
After Li Tianquan left, Mr. Liao's face immediately became gloomy. He didn't seem to expect that the plan to capture the old man didn't work, and scolded hatefully as a "gutless horseman". After scolding, he pondered for a moment, then pushed the door open and hurried away.
It wasn't long before Mr. Xiao appeared outside the base's prison. At this time, he had changed his appearance, and even the aura of the Force had changed. He took out the token and shook it in front of the guards. This is the token of the Li family's elder-level, and the guards didn't dare to stop it, so they let him in.
Entering the prison, Mr. Xiao waited for the warden to arrive, and stretched out his hand to make a mysterious gesture. The warden's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and called a jailer and asked him to lead Mr. Xiao to several cells.
Built deep underground, the base cells are simple but sturdy and heavily guarded. Mr. Xiao remained silent, walking in front of one cell after another, occasionally stopping for a moment, and finally came to a special cell. Filled with Force arrays, this cell is extremely sturdy, but the layout is quite comfortable, unlike any other. On the bed in the middle of the cell, Duan Chengpeng was lying there, still unconscious. However, he exudes a faint medicinal fragrance, which shows that he has used medicine, and has the ingredient of calming and recuperating to facilitate the recovery of his injuries.
Mr. Xiao stood in front of this cell for a while, and inadvertently flicked his fingers, and a thin light gray needle formed by the Force shot out of his fingertips and submerged into Duan Chengpeng's body. His movements were extremely stealthy, and the jailer next to him was unaware.
"I've seen it all, let's go. He said lightly, and then left the dungeon with the jailer.
The road from the secret room to the office is not long, but at the feet of Li Tianquan, this road seems to be endless. At this moment, in his mind, Duan Chengpeng's words echoed repeatedly: "The fourth son's shot, but it hasn't been fired yet!"
Finally returned to the office, Li Tianquan stood in the room, looking at the painting on the wall, and struggled repeatedly in his heart.
The new families of the empire are generally arranged in places where the border is turbulent, and as the lord of a land, the family has the responsibility of defending the land. For thousands of years, I don't know how many families have not been able to gain a firm foothold, and they have been destroyed in dark races, beast tides, and even natural disasters. The territory taken out by the lord in the court this time is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a military important place in the empire not far away, and in case of emergency, reinforcements can arrive in a few days. Moreover, the lord will also provide several battalions of elites to be stationed in the territory for three years, so that Li Tianquan can survive the most difficult time.
Such conditions are not only generous, but also well-considered and comprehensive. To say that Li Tianquan is not moved, it is impossible. Although there is still a risk after three years, and in these three years, the army of several thousand people in those battalions may not be able to resist the attack of the army of the dark race, but in the past thousand years of the empire, which high-ranking lord has not gone through hardships and dangers and grown up in blood and fire? How can Li Tianquan say that he is also the second elder of the Li family, and the opportunity is right in front of him, how can he not even have this bit of courage?
It's just that Li Tianquan faintly feels that this matter may not be as simple as Mr. Xiao said. If this mirror water cleanses life, if it is only a thousand nights of life and death, why do you want that adult to take a piece of the family territory out?
The value of this territory is so great, not to mention a mirror water cleansing, even adding a heavenly wind cloud and smoke bead is far from worth it.
There is also an unwritten rule in the empire that if someone moves a clan to open up a frontier battle, then the previous grudges must be put aside for a while, and only after a few years that the clan can regain their old grudges. That is to say, if Li Tianquan accepts the conditions and moves the family to a new territory, then neither the Zhao Valve nor the Li family can seek revenge from him for a few years, otherwise it may attract the hostility of the entire family.
However, this is only normal. Since this is the normal situation, there will always be exceptions. What if Zhao Jundu insisted on making a move regardless of everything? After all, the lord in the court was a little unreasonable, and he was really willing to fight with the future king for the sake of a newly attached small family? Not to mention whether that adult's throne could last forever, even if he did not fall in power, wouldn't he think about the descendants of the family a hundred years later?
Zhao Jundu has played cards more than once for the sake of a thousand nights. Because of this, Li Tianquan couldn't make up his mind.
The mirror water in the dark cabinet is like a volcano at the moment, and even getting closer makes people feel suffocated.
At this moment, the door of the office suddenly opened, and a cold current rushed in, making Li Tianquan shiver subconsciously.
Before he could turn around, Li Qianglan's voice sounded behind him: "Second Elder, why are you so uneasy?"
Li Tianquan was taken aback, turned around and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Virtuous Nephew...... Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"Come and take a sample, get it and go. ”
Li Tianquan's expression was slightly relieved, and he said, "What is so important that you need to come and get it in person?
Li Ranlan said lightly: "I'm not at ease, I have to take it with my own hands." ”
"Oh, what is it? If there is anything that needs the help of the second uncle, just ask. ”
The corners of Li Ranlan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "I just need the help of the second elder." What I want is mirror water purification. ”
"Mirror water cleansing?!" Li Tianquan's surprise was not trivial. He settled down before he said, "What do you want this for......?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Ranlan immediately said: "That's right, it's for Qianye." ”
Li Tianquan was stunned at first, then turned into anger and said, "Wild Lan! Do you know that when you grow up in a thousand nights, you will become the great enemy of my Li family." How can such a treasure be handed over to him?
Li Ranlan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly: "This mirror water cleansing is originally a thousand nights, right? I'm just going to get it for him, what's the matter, what else does the second elder want to say?"
"You ......" Li Tianquan suddenly discovered that Li Ranlan no longer called him the second uncle, but the second elder. That is the case, he simply sank his face and said, "This time and that time." Although this mirror water cleanser can be said to be a thousand nights, I didn't say when I would hand it over to him. I can't be the master of such a big thing, I need the nod of the head of the family and the queen. ”
Li Ranlan's hand rested on the hilt of the sword of the Cold Moon Veil, and sneered: "You don't hand it over, will you? Then try to make a few moves under my Cold Moon Veil!"
Li Tianquan was shocked, although his Force Cultivation was higher than Li Ranglan, but Li Ranglan held a divine weapon in his hand, and he had several of the strongest sword skills of the Li family, and he really used his hands to defeat more and win less. What's more, Li Ranlan has a special identity, even if he can win, Li Tianquan doesn't dare to really hurt him, how can this battle be fought?
"Raglan, you are so foolish, the head of the family and the queen mother will definitely not let you go!" Li Tianquan shouted.
Li Ranlan sneered and said, "Sister, I will go and tell her, I think she should be able to understand my mind, so you don't have to worry about it, Second Elder." In addition, how long you, the second elder, can still reign, I'm afraid it's also a question. Get out of the way!"
A blue line suddenly appeared, with a boundless sharpness and a cold chill, piercing Li Tianquan's eyebrows!
When the incident happened suddenly, Li Tianquan tried his best to urge the body method, and did not hesitate to use the force to pull his body, which was worthy of avoiding Li Qianglan's sword. But the blue sword light did not disappear, and it slashed straight at the wall, just breaking through the door of the dark cabinet.
Li Ranlan took a step forward, picked up the mirror water, put it in his arms, and didn't look at Li Tianquan, so he walked away.
Li Tianquan stood on the spot, looking at the empty dark cabinet, only to feel that all fame, fortune and power were leaving him.
