The King of Special Warfare
Chapter 75: But what you ask, you must answer
The ancestral hall of the Dongcheng family is built on the mountainside, covering an area of about 1,500 square meters. It is a brick and wood structure, with blue bricks and blue tiles. The four characters of Dongcheng Ancestral Hall are carved on the top of the gate archway, arranged from right to left, with scarlet ink The painted and dyed handwriting does not look sad, but has a sense of heroic beauty. There are stone drums on the left and right sides of the gate, and every detail of the entire ancestral hall reveals a clear simplicity and solemnity.
Li Tianlan really didn't want to come before he had a thorough understanding of the purpose of the Dongcheng family, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a suitable reason to refuse.
Li Tianlan is also very clear that Dongcheng Hanguang took him to the ancestral hall to offer incense, that must be treating him as a close junior, or even a grandson-in-law, and this is giving face. If he refuses too simply, it will be a face-slap.
No matter what purpose is hidden under the warm appearance of the Dongcheng family, or whether the Dongcheng family will be enemies or friends in the future, it is absolutely inappropriate to turn their faces now.
The afternoon 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 appear more quiet and peaceful.
Under the shadow of mottled trees, Dongcheng Wudi and Dongcheng Hanguang, who arrived first, stood in the backlight, looking at Li Tianlan who got out of the car, their faces were calm, but their eyes were full of joy.
"Master."
Li Tianlan took the initiative to walk over to say hello, then looked at Dongcheng Wudi, nodded and said, "Master."
Dongcheng Invincible nodded with a smile, but did not speak. Most of the time, the general of Zhongzhou had a majestic and stern look, with a murderous intent. He would only take off his mask when facing his family. From the current point of view, Li Tianlan seemed to be Or 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? My relationship with your grandpa is not as good as that of him and the holy guards around him, but at any rate It can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship, if you don’t call it now, will it be different from Rushi’s marriage in the future?”
Li Tianlan looked embarrassed, looked at Dongcheng Wudi, and subconsciously wanted him to help out, but instead of coming forward, Dongcheng Wudi blinked at him, and his smile became more intense.
He rubbed his nose, and just about to speak, Dongcheng Hanguang has already continued: "I have already prepared the invitation card. Next month, the end of next month, the auspicious day, when the time comes, your boy will come back, so I agree , I will get engaged to you next month, don't worry about the holidays, I will greet your principal."
Tough and domineering, this engagement is completely like a notice to Li Tianlan, and it seems that there is no room for him to resist.
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 more serious. He said coldly: "Old man, as I said, I already have a girlfriend."
The smile on Dongcheng Hanguang's face faltered, and he looked at Li Tianlan whose aura had changed completely, frowned, and said gloomyly: "Qin Weibai is indeed a character, but you are in Central Continent now, she can't give you anything, reincarnation No matter how strong the palace lord is, the opponent here will not be affected. If you are developing abroad, Qin Weibai is your best choice, but in Central Continent, 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 have to bear too many things that you can't bear. You are very talented. It is no problem to grow into the invincible state, but Even if you are an expert in the Invincible Realm, how can you restore the glory of the Li family? The Dongcheng family can give you the help you need without any reservations. Don't you know how much help this will give you?"
Li Tianlan looked at Dongcheng Hanguang expressionlessly, without saying a word.
These words are extremely harsh, but from another perspective, isn't it true that they mean something?
Dongcheng Hanguang sighed, shook his head, and continued: "Invincible took over your father's seat back then. Twenty years later, it's time to make a move. Why not? Are you still waiting for you? Anyway,
We can't let the Border Guard Corps fall into other people's hands. Once he moves, Lei Zi can stand up for a few years temporarily, but there are no successors. What should we do next? "
He looked into Li Tianlan's eyes and said flatly: "I know you have a good relationship with Zhuang Huayang, and Wudi has a very good personal relationship with the head of the academic school. Do you understand what it means?"
Li Tianlan suddenly raised his head and raised his eyebrows.
As the current ruling group, when it comes to the head of the academic school, if there is no specific name, it can only be that one.
What does it mean that Dongcheng Wudi has such an identity and has a good relationship with that person?
Li Tianlan's understanding of the situation among the upper echelons of Central Continent is too shallow, but at least he is very clear about the fact that there is no harmony between the academic faction and the prince's group. The alternation of the two ruling groups will definitely produce fierceness in the process. game.
Zhuang Huayang said that the academic faction has extremely weak voice in the special warfare system. In this way, how strong is the academic faction's voice in the military that is closely related to the special warfare system?
This is already the third year that the chief executive has been in office, and the first term is coming to an end. With such an important opportunity, he must take the opportunity to expand his influence.
If your own people can't go up, then you can only find allies.
Will Dongcheng Invincible be the ally that the academy needs?
As one of the members of the Central Continent Policy Bureau, who controls the 550,000 troops of the Border Guards, Dongcheng Invincible's status in the military can be said to be truly under one man and above ten thousand. If the academic faction regards him as an ally, it needs It is definitely not the support of the 550,000 troops of the Border Guards, but the dominance of the entire military.
Dongcheng Invincible is one step closer, where can he go?
It seems that only the director of the Central Continent Policy Bureau and the standing minister of the military department are left.
If he is still a member of the Policy Bureau, then no matter where he goes, he can be said to be a member of the Policy Bureau, and he will become a member of the Policy Bureau and preside over the daily work of the Central Continent Army. Only this position is worthy of him. What the Dongcheng family needs most.
After Dongcheng Invincible left, Thunder God could stand up for a few years. According to Dongcheng Hanguang, after Thunder God, the Dongcheng family hoped that they could control the 550,000 troops of the Border Guards?
A few years later, I reached Thunder Realm, and I did have the qualifications to take the military path, enter the decision-making bureau, and go from councilor to director. This path can also restore Li's former glory.
And if you take this path, as long as you grow up fast enough and marry Dongcheng Rushi, you can get the full support of the wealthy group.
At present, the risk of doing so is relatively small. Dongcheng Hanguang said that the whole family is used as a dowry, which is really not just talk.
The alliance between the academic faction and the Dongcheng family, Zhuang Huayang's support for him, and the generous and loose terms seemed to gradually form a thread.
Could it be that the old fox knew from the very beginning that the Dongcheng family had something to do with him?
"Boy, don't let your grandfather down, the Dongcheng family is willing to pave the way for you with all their strength, as long as you walk up."
Dongcheng Hanguang said slowly: "Besides, it's only natural for a big man to have three wives and four concubines. As long as you treat him well in the future, who will be entangled in some of your private affairs? Let's make it like this. Will you come back at the end of next month?"
"Not coming."
Li Tianlan said lightly, he refused quickly, and his tone was even more determined, looking at Dongcheng Hanguang's eyes that suddenly became angry, he smiled, and said frankly: "I don't want to disappoint Grandpa, but I don't want to let myself down either." Disappointed, old man, I don’t need three wives and four concubines, as long as one is enough. The path you pointed out is good, but it’s not suitable for me. Li’s only belongs to the special warfare system. I’ll take back everything about Li’s, yes , to get it back. Instead of getting something on the road of the Dongcheng family. I am from the Li family, not from the Dongcheng family."
Dongcheng Wudi turned his head, looked at the woods outside the ancestral hall, and remained silent.
Dongcheng Hanguang stared blankly at Li Tianlan, the look in his eyes was not anger, but a kind of sadness and pain that Li Tianlan could not 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 Corps back then."
"That's different."
Li Tianlan said lightly, how can it be the same? Twenty years ago, when the international situation was at its most tense, border conflicts between countries were frequent. At that time, the Central Continent Guard Corps had just been established, and its personnel organization was not as large as it is now. At that time, the Border Guard Corps, It is under the jurisdiction of the Central Continent special warfare system, not the Central Continent military.
How can this be the same?
Dongcheng Hanguang smiled wryly, and suddenly remembered the name Dongcheng Huangtu. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Tianlan also knew this name from Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai...Qin Weibai...
"What ecstasy soup did that woman give you, Tian Lan, you'd better stay away from her."
Dongcheng Hanguang took a deep breath and said sincerely.
Li Tianlan's face turned cold immediately, and he said indifferently: "I don't need to worry about this matter, old man."
"Okay, Dad, let's go in first, it's time."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Dongcheng Wudi had no choice but to stand up to smooth things over, 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 a little, and said with a hum: "Where's your uncle? He hasn't come yet?"
There are five brothers in the old man's generation, but in the past many years, three of them died in battle. Today, only himself and the youngest Dongcheng Hanjian are left.
Dongcheng Hanjian also lives on the mountain, 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 in first."
Dongcheng Wudi was talking, and took out his mobile phone.
Dongcheng Hanguang nodded, and led Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Qiuchi directly into the ancestral hall.
The Dongcheng ancestral hall house is divided into three entrances, with a huge space. The first entrance is a stage, and the left and right sides are wing rooms and wine houses. The original ancient buildings, entering here, seem to have entered another era.
The second entrance is the main hall.
All important meetings of the Dongcheng family are basically held here on weekdays.
The third entrance is the forbidden area of the Dongcheng family, inside which are placed the spirit plaques of all the deceased of the Dongcheng family. It is an independent courtyard, occupying almost one-third of the ancestral hall.
Dongcheng Hanguang took the lead in walking into the third courtyard. The huge courtyard was quiet and quiet, and the interior space was large, but it didn't look spacious, but rather crowded.
One stone tablet after another appeared in front of Li Tianlan's eyes, like a stone forest.
Each stone tablet is densely engraved with small characters, and a large number of stone tablets are arranged together, which is an unspeakable shock.
Li Tianlan held his breath subconsciously, and began to look at the first stone tablet.
Piece after piece.
The content on the stele is consistent but not identical.
Each stone tablet is engraved with the life stories of the deceased members of the Dongcheng family.
The courtyard became more and more quiet.
All the commotion seemed to have disappeared.
Li Tianlan walked silently, looking at one stone tablet after another, and understanding these stone tablets was almost tantamount to understanding the Dongcheng family that had been passed down to Dongcheng Wudi, which was the seventh generation.
For hundreds of years, this has been the heart and soul of the Dongcheng family.
Always!
Thirty-seven steles.
The lives of thirty-seven people.
Thirty-one people died in battle, and six people 'died their lives'.
Li Tianlan's face was flushed, and he felt his heart agitated. Standing here, it was 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.
This is the glory and tragedy of the entire Dongcheng family.
This is a crazy family, a glorious and cold-blooded family.
A family where killing is an honor.
There are two sentences engraved on each stone tablet, one sentence first and one sentence after, neatly, stroke by stroke.
"Don't back down, even if it's warm. Don't look back, even if you're nostalgic. On the road ahead, besides 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 agitated and heroic like never before. The steles in front of him were neatly arranged, like a forest of heroic souls.
Behind each of these stone monuments is the Dongcheng family's determination to kill and kill in the same line for hundreds of years, and they went to death calmly in the same line.
We deserve to die.
A worthy death!
Li Tianlan clenched his fists subconsciously, and there was a surge of emotion in his heart that almost made him scream to the sky.
He took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the stone forest in front of him, only for the dozens of cold-blooded and passionate heroes of the Dongcheng family.
"This is the Dongcheng family, Tianlan, as long as you are willing, such a family will spare no effort to help you in the next few decades, but if you ask, you will be answered!"
The voice of Dongcheng Hanguang resounded 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, with various emotions flickering in his eyes, which were extremely complicated.
Li Tianlan turned his head subconsciously, avoiding the eyes of the old man, and said softly, "Why?"
"Old man, don't talk about the relationship between the Dongcheng family and the Li family back then. I'm not that noble. If it's just because of the relationship, if it were me, I wouldn't risk the whole family to pay for it. I can't do it, so I don’t think anyone else can do it either.”
He said indifferently: "So, the Dongcheng family has helped me so much, what exactly do you want?"
"child."
Dongcheng Hanguang said calmly, "You have a marriage contract with Rushi, and I want a child from you and Rushi, it's as simple as that."
"Nothing else?"
"Yes, but I can't tell."
"Oh, then I can't believe it."
Li Tianlan laughed at himself, and said slowly: "Besides, I can't give you what you want."
He looked at the stone tablet in front of him, stepped forward, and said softly, "Old man, I'm going back to Huating after burning incense. My girlfriend is still waiting for me. I miss her very much."
"I'll go with you."
Dongcheng Hanguang nodded and said.
Li Tianlan paused, then turned around suddenly, his eyes were like knives.
Dongcheng Hanguang still had a calm attitude, and smiled lightly: "Don't be nervous, just talk to her, and there are some things by the way, I need Mr. Qin to clarify my old man's doubts."
