The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 269 - The Big Move from Kunlun City



Chapter 269 The Big Move from Kunlun City

Not to mention that Li Tianlan had started from scratch again, even if he were still in the Invincible Realm like when he was in Changdao, he would never really treat a superior at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm like a rookie.

There was a heaven chasm between the Thunder-shocking Realm and the Invincible Realm.

The peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm was the end of Martial Arts for most of the geniuses. Such a figure would be the well deserved high-level leader in any superpowers, the worst he would be better than being a guard here.

And there were only a few possibilities of the superpower that could send out two superiors at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm and had a connection with himself.

It could be the Jiang family of South America who had given up this place but still wanted to spy on it.

It could be an expert from the Wang family of Beihai who saw the recruit of guards from Wang Yuetong and pretended to be one.

It could be Sigh City which stood aloof from the outside world but had great concern for him.

It could also be Kunlun City which was cautious and hostile toward him all along.

Or…

Li Tianlan’s eyes suddenly turned dim.

He turned around again and looked at the empty, straight road in front of him.

No matter which superpower these two superiors belonged to, Li Tianlan didn’t feel any hostility in them. If they weren’t hostile, then this wasn’t an emergency that he had to take care of.

A black Audi slowly drove over from the East side of the road.

“Young Master, they’re here.”

Xu Chu said in his simple and honest voice. This First Senior Brother from Jade Pool looked at the car from afar with kindness and respect in his eyes.

Li Tianlan stood straight subconsciously, and he didn’t feel nervous, but somehow uncomfortable.

The car drove in even speed, finally stopped in front of the three people.

A woman in her late twenties got off from the driver’s seat. The woman wasn’t exactly beautiful, but she had a great temperament. She dressed neutrally, her every move gave off a severe manner and style.

Xu Chu walked over quickly and nodded at the woman.

The woman, who was about to open the car door, looked at Xu Chu and stood there with a smile on her face.

Xu Chu opened the car door and scratched his head with another hand. His face looked tough and stern, but right now, there was a simple and honest smile on his face.

“Aunt Bai.” He called softly.

A woman in her early thirties at most got off the car gently and patted Xu Chu’s arm with a smile on her face, then said, “How are you doing here? Are you getting used to this place?”

“Yes.”

Xu Chu laughed in a simple and honest way, feeling a bit nervous. “Young Master treats me very well, but I haven’t been a good help for him…”

“You guys are still very young.”

The woman said softly, “You still have a long way ahead of you, and you will help him eventually.”

She turned her head and laid her eyes on Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan was also looking at her, the most famous woman in politics in recent years from Zhongzhou State.

She seemed to be a woman who was born with elegance. She was dignified and graceful. This kind of beauty was more than just being pretty, and it was a kind of awe-inspiring beauty.

This was the first time that Li Tianlan met Bai Qingqian.

She was beautiful, graceful, dignified, elegant, and calm. Her face was so beautiful that it didn’t match her age. She looked a bit tired but dignified from being in a high position for a long time.

Li Tianlan looked at her, dazed.

He couldn’t describe how he felt. He instinctively thought that this Aunt Bai, who he met for the first time, looked familiar and sincere.

Because of this feeling of familiarity and sincerity, everything about her was absolutely perfect.

She was so perfect that he forgot to say anything all of a sudden, just stared at her quietly.

Time seemed to freeze in this early morning.

Li Tianlan looked at Bai Qingqian.

Bai Qingqian stared at Li Tianlan.

Her eyes were shaking with intense emotions, soft and yet sad.

The car horns broke the silence.

An SUV with a military plate drove to the gate of East Emperor Palace from another direction. The car door opened, Dongcheng Wudi, who dressed in Marshal’s military uniform, got off the car. His body stood straight, strong, and hot-blooded.

When he saw that his wife slightly changed his face, a bitter smile climbed on that clean face.

Obviously, this ‘crash’ was a coincidence, the two of them didn’t plan this.

In fact, they hadn’t talked to each other in a very long time.

Li Tianlan suddenly realized something.

In his sight, her eyes were still so tender and soft that it made his heart skip a beat.

Li Tianlan subconsciously took his eyes off Bai Qingqian and looked at Dongcheng Wudi, who was walking toward him slowly, put on a faint smile and greeted him. “General, it’s been a while.”

“Long time no see.”

Dongcheng Wudi stood beside Bai Qingqian with a bitter smile on his face. “This is Aunt Bai. You haven’t met her before. What a chance encounter today.”

Aunt Bai.

Bai Qingqian looked at Dongcheng Wudi’s face with a bit cold eyes.

“Aunt Bai.”

Li Tianlan moved his mouth and struggled to call her.

He indeed hadn’t met this Secretary Bai before. He was standing in front of her, so he wanted to get close to her out of instinct, but he didn’t dare to.

Bai Qingqian’s body trembled for a second.

She managed to put on a smile and said softly, “I’ve always wanted to come and see you. How are you doing, how’s your health?”

“I’m doing alright.”

Li Tianlan smiled and made a welcoming gesture, then laughed and said, “General, Secretary…Bai, let’s get inside.”

He turned around nervously and walked into the gate.

To Dongcheng Wudi, Li Tianlan had nothing but respect and gratitude.

But to Bai Qingqian whom he met for the first time, he felt the pressure.

The pressure was so tender, it made him felt soft and scared at the same time.

Bai Qingqian looked at Li Tianlan’s back quietly.

She had a thousand words stuck in her heart.

But she couldn’t say a word of it.

What could she say?

She came here to see, and she could only see.

Dongcheng Wudi let out a dry cough, reached his hand, and tried to hold his wife’s hand.

Xu Chu and Ning Qiancheng were still here.

Her secretary was still here.

Bai Qingqian didn’t do anything intense, just broke out from Dongcheng Wudi’s grab softly but firmly.

Her movement was natural and tender, slow but cold.

Wang Yuetong already knew that some guests were visiting, so when Li Tianlan brought them into the living room, Wang Yuetong, who dressed in casual clothes, had started to make tea. She got up from bed with no makeup on. The Golden Retriever which had grown a lot was circling her feet, looking excited.

Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian already knew that Wang Yuetong and Li Tianlan were living together. Dongcheng Wudi looked calm, but Bai Qingqian’s eyes grew more and more complicated while watching this.

“General, Secretary Bai, welcome.”

Watching Li Tianlan and the rest walking over, Wang Yuetong smiled and got up, she walked to Li Tianlan naturally and said in a soft tone.

This was how a standard hostess should act.

Wang Yuetong already knew the marriage contract between Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Rushi. Now facing Dongcheng Rushi’s parents, she obviously wanted to protect something, defend something. So her posture was very natural, but because it was so natural that it started to look stiff.

Especially her eyes.

As if she was afraid that Li Tianlan would get mad, her eyes looked a bit nervous.

She was the proudest little princess from the Wang family of Beihai.

Dongcheng Wudi let out a playful laugh and said, “Yuetong, how’s your father doing?”

He just met Wang Tianzong in a High-level meeting a few days ago. But in front of a young girl, he didn’t know anything else to say but this dry question.

“He’s doing alright.”

Wang Yuetong smiled and felt relieved after finding out Li Tianlan didn’t get mad. She took and initiative and greeted them. “Why don’t you have a sit. Tianlan hasn’t had any breakfast yet, so I’ll go make some.”

She turned around and walked to the kitchen gently.

Ning Qiancheng hesitated for a while, then dragged Xu Chu and left quietly.

Bai Qingqian’s secretary closed the door quietly and stood outside the door.

Suddenly there were only Dongcheng Wudi, Bai Qingqian and Li Tianlan in the living room. The atmosphere became awkward and stiff.

“General came here today, the affairs outside should have an outcome right now?”

Li Tianlan poured tea for Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Qingqian, then said with a smile.

He didn’t care about what happened outside, but he had to ask about them. Anyway, as the younger generation, he shouldn’t put on airs.

“It has been settled.”

Dongcheng Wudi picked up the cup of tea and said absent-mindedly, “Li Wangsheng entered the Terracotta Army and became the new Spirit Tortoise of Zhongzhou State, his temporary military rank is major general. When he grows up in the future, he will be the real General of Nine Regions.”

Li Tianlan nodded. Terracotta Army chose a young man as Spirit Tortoise this time because they wanted to change the personnel of the organization and train the next generation of General Four Spirits in advance. The military rank wasn’t important, and that position was the most important.

“There will be some change in Sigh City recently, too. Now that they have the second superior of the Invincible Realm, they have to take bigger responsibility. Tribulation, Cool Breeze, Drifting Cloud, Deep Dream, these people will all have an official title. But it hasn’t been decided yet. If there is no accident, in a year or two, the Special Warfare System of Zhongzhou State will change completely. Tianlan, this isn’t necessarily good news for you.”

Dongcheng Wudi seemed to realize something, then said in a severe tone. This was the main reason why he came here today.

“Gu Xingyun still hasn’t given up? He wants to improve the status of Special Warfare System in Zhongzhou State?” Bai Qingqian suddenly asked.

“How can he give up? The timing wasn’t right before, and he was testing. Now the appearance of Tianlan and the Li family gave him a chance, so it’s logical for him to cooperate with the Wang family of Beihai. With the support of the Prince Group, right now is the perfect timing for him.”

“What do you mean?” Li Tianlan asked seriously.

Dongcheng Wudi looked at Li Tianlan, thought for a second and said, “Gu Xingyun means to give a bigger responsibility and function range to the Special Warfare System, to improve the constraint capacity of the Special Warfare System to some free power groups. He suggests that Zhongzhou State establishes the Special Warfare Department in different regions, like the Southeast Special Warfare Department, which will be in charge of the special affairs in Wuyue, Huating, Jiangzhe and so on. The ministers take part in the meeting of Zhongzhou State Decision Making Committee. And the appointment of subordinate units, like Wuyue Special Operations Bureau and Huating Special Operations Bureau will be decided by Kunlun City and the Southeast Special Warfare Department. The head of the Special Operations Bureau of provincial-level joins the Standing Committee of such province, leads the local liberal force and integrates all the dark forces among the people.”

Dongcheng Wudi looked at Li Tianlan. “To put it in a simple way, Gu Xingyun wants to turn the Special Warfare System into a real independent system, do you understand?”

Li Tianlan’s eyebrows frowned deeply.

He thought about his being alive would bring some disturbance to the Zhongzhou State Special Warfare System, but he didn’t expect the disruption would be so great.

The old Special Warfare System in Zhongzhou State could be considered an independent system, but it was most likely just a title, like sharing materials and intelligence with the Military, the appointment of some critical positions, the Military and other people in high level also had great discursive power.

In the past many years, the Zhongzhou State Special Warfare System had a close connection with the Military. Even now, Gu Xingyun was in a very high position, but the whole Special Warfare System was more like an institute that handled tricky situations for the Military. It was considered to be independent, but actually it wasn’t. On the contrary, it relied on the Military a lot.

The suggestion from Gu Xingyun this time, the establishment of the so-called Special Warfare Department was just a start. And this start would definitely improve the discursive power of the Special Warfare System in Zhongzhou State. After the Special Warfare System gained bigger discursive power, Kunlun City could have all kinds of reform and eventually turned the Special Warfare System into a system that could function side by side with political circles and the Military Ministry.

In general, if this suggestion could get a pass in the high level, the Special Warfare System of Zhongzhou State would be stricter and more standard in the future.

A stricter and more standard Special Warfare System had both advantages and disadvantages.

But for Li Tianlan, if this situation became a reality, it would be a destructive hit to his future.

Such a big move would even seal his improving space in the future.
