Wang Tianzong stared down at the medal in his hand.
The positions of the two were consistent in the general direction.
Wang Tianzong could not openly attack Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan did not dare to do anything to Wang Tianzong, either.
To a certain extent, the confrontation between the two was originally hovering on the bottom line of a crime—treason. Between advance and retreat, it was either a vast sky or a sheer cliff.
Their stances virtually erased the huge force gap between Wang Tianzong and Li Tianlan. So in the eyes of everyone, when the two really started to offend each other openly, it was when the aces up their sleeve were revealed one by one.
The instrument he threw to Li Tianlan was his ace.
The medal that Li Tianlan threw to him was also the ace of Li Tianlan.
The medal was extremely delicate and small, and it was pure black all over, but in the middle, there was a faintly discernible white line running through the black body.
Wang Tianzong looked at the medal and remained silent for a long time.
He knew that Li Tianlan had not seen the instrument in his hand.
But he had seen this medal of Li Tianlan.
It was the medal that Li Tianlan wore on his chest in the decisive battle in Heaven Capital.
This medal symbolized an identity that could not be ignored in Zhongzhou State.
The Young Governor of Sigh City.
Wang Tianzong frowned and glanced at Li Tianlan.
In an almost frozen atmosphere, he suddenly said, “Not enough.”
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
Li Tianlan stood in place, looking at Wang Tianzong with intransigence in his eyes.
The roaring explosions of the outside world came from a few kilometers away, but it was as if it were close to the ear.
Wang Tianzong pondered for a while.
He really miscalculated tonight, but not by strategy.
No one could have imagined that Li Tianlan’s injury would recover so quickly.
In other words, the moment Li Tianlan opened his eyes, it meant that Wang Tianzong lost because Chen Qingluan would never give up the power of the Snowdance Corps, and Wang Tianzong was unlikely to give up the Snowdance Corps.
So when he was invited by Chen Qingluan to preside over the big picture, in the dark, too many forces in Recchi City kept a close watch on the Shadow Throne while he was away.
Li Tianlan conducted an elaborate scheme using his injuries. Now, he was taking advantage of the general trend to imprison him here. Wang Tianzong was unwilling to think about the result.
Li Tianlan would not have acted so decisively tonight if he had not been absolutely sure.
So by the end of the night, the Shadow Throne may be doomed to suffer great losses.
This, perhaps, had been doomed the first time Li Tianlan had seen KingTong, on the day of his coma.
Wang Tianzong looked around again.
All the experts in the Snowdance Corps were around him.
Outside of the Office of the President, the Snowdance Corps had begun to assemble.
The dazzling white searchlights kept spinning in the air, and the sound of helicopters rang in the night.
All the weapons of the Snowdance Corps had been put into combat.
With the order of Li Tianlan, the entire Office of the President would be razed to the ground as soon as possible.
But all of this could not trap Wang Tianzong.
In other countries, Wang Tianzong could fight his way out with one person and one sword. With his current realm, he would not even be hurt.
But it was an army belonging to Zhongzhou State around him at this time.
The foreign army, which he wanted to kill most, was now besieging the Shadow Throne.
So Wang Tianzong could only move in the Office of the President.
He couldn’t kill anyone, so he couldn’t go out.
The scheme was truly perfect and almost impeccable.
Wang Tianzong shot a glance at Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan stood there quietly and calmly.
But dimly, Wang Tianzong saw something different in him.
It was the sound of years passing; it was the trajectory of growth; it was the smell that grew dark.
Wang Tianzong saw a lot of similar things.
He had noticed this smell in Li Kuangtu that year, and even in himself. Everyone who stood at the pinnacle of the Dark World had this smell.
They were the calmness, cautiousness, darkness, coldness, and majesty that one acquired after being honed in countless fierce battles.
That was how the so-called ambitious person grew up.
For the first time, Wang Tianzong admitted in his heart that Li Tianlan was terrible.
The most important thing was that the speed of his growth in all aspects was so amazing. It was like he was born to belong to the Dark World.
Wang Tianzong suddenly appreciated Li Tianlan.
Sincere appreciation.
This kind of appreciation was very sincere, and it was also because of the sincerity that the killing intent behind the appreciation was even more naked.
Li Tianlan looked at Wang Tianzong and asked calmly, “You want to kill me?”
Wang Tianzong asked, “You really want to stop me?”
Combined with Li Tianlan’s previous question, this sentence carried a very naked threatening smell.
Everyone’s heart sank.
“At this point, the army of Wulan State is fighting outside. Prime Minister Reeker had previously discussed it with me. They had determined that some terrorists were hiding in the Caesar Hotel, so they went to besiege the hotel. As friends of Wulan State, we cannot interfere in its internal affairs.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “So I want to ask Your Majesty to stay in the Office of the President for a few more days.”
Wang Tianzong couldn’t help laughing.
Li Tianlan’s serious bullshit completely angered him.
With his smile, the space around Wang Tianzong became distorted at the speed visible to the naked eye. Space constantly distorted and broke, and a bit of strong darkness with the sword intent was constantly converging in front of him.
Lights, night, wind, and rain.
Everything was completely absorbed by that strong darkness.
Li Tianlan stood there and could not see anything in the darkness.
His eyes were hazy and misty.
Faint white mist was surging on him. The mist was faint, but it became the only light in the absolute darkness.
Everyone started to gather in the direction of the mist.
The mist was getting more and more, and it diffused farther and farther.
Wang Tianzong frowned suddenly.
Everyone was completely wrapped in his dark sword intent.
And he himself was also wrapped in the white mist.
There was nothing in his sight.
The other men’s eyes were full of darkness.
The only thing they had in common was that neither side could see anything.
Li Tianlan’s voice sounded through the mist, slow and clear, “Please think twice, Your Majesty. Now the general trend of Zhongzhou State is in my favor. If Your Majesty pulls out your sword, have you really thought the general trend of the Wang family of Beihai over?”
Wang Tianzong did not respond.
But the dense dark sword intent began to recede slowly.
The vast white mist also began to disappear.
Lights, wind, rain, explosions, and the Office of the President reappeared in the perception of everyone.
Wang Tianzong was still standing there.
He looked at Li Tianlan and remained silent for a long time.
“Dragon vein?” he asked suddenly.
Vaguely, he seemed to understand the meaning of Li Tianlan’s sentence—the general trend of Zhongzhou State was in his favor.
Li Tianlan carried the dragon vein.
That meant he was carrying the luck of the entire Zhongzhou State.
When he was strong, Zhongzhou State was strong, and vice versa.
With a tremendous amount of luck, Li Tianlan in this state had exceptional advantages in all aspects.
“You know how to use the dragon vein?” Wang Tianzong asked again.
Li Tianlan was silent.
No one knew what the dragon vein was.
Even though he carried the dragon vein, he didn’t know what it was.
But certainly, it was not a weapon.
What could he do with it if it wasn’t a weapon?
Even Li Tianlan himself was puzzled by the appearance of the white mist. He was now completely unable to give Wang Tianzong any explanation.
Li Tianlan stepped forward and looked at Wang Tianzong. “Your Majesty, please.”
He was asking the latter to go in instead of going out.
Wang Tianzong withdrew his sword intent, which fully proved that he had completely recovered his calmness.
It also showed that Wang Tianzong had fully accepted his failure tonight, even if the failure was catastrophic.
Li Tianlan had already gained advantages tonight, so he was indifferent to his humbleness. At this moment, he was talking to Wang Tianzong very respectfully.
Wang Tianzong looked at him with a smile and suddenly said, “Do you think you’ve won tonight?”
“Huh?”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
“I said this ace of you was not enough,” Wang Tianzong said calmly.
He threw the medal representing the Young Governor of Sigh City to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan’s face changed.
He reached out and silently placed the medal on his chest. After a moment of silence, he said lightly, “If it’s not enough, I’ll show you other aces.”
Wang Tianzong looked at Li Tianlan and seemed to observe the truth of his words.
Li Tianlan’s expression was bland, and no one could see his emotions.
Wang Tianzong sighed softly. At least in terms of hiding emotions, Li Tianlan no longer lost to some cunning guys in the Dark World.
“Where is my room?” Wang Tianzong asked calmly.
As he said this, he seemed to feel his heart twitch a little. A flicker of killing intent flashed through his eyes again as he thought of the situation after tonight.
“If you don’t mind, just live next door to me, Your Majesty,” Li Tianlan said slowly, without seemingly aware of Wang Tianzong’s killing intent.
He turned and took the lead to lead the way.
Wang Tianzong stood there for a while.
The sword intent beside him disappeared completely.
The heavy rain fell on him, and his body was soon thoroughly soaked.
The summer rain was cold in Eastern Europe.
In the cold rain, Wang Tianzong seemed to figure out something. His body relaxed completely, and he followed Li Tianlan with a calm expression.
The experts in the Snowdance Corps remained on the spot and looked at each other for a while.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud coughed and left the Office of the President first.
The imprisonment of Wang Tianzong was the most important step in the plan tonight.
But it was not the whole plan.
What came next for the Snowdance Corps was the real key.
When the numerous elites in the Snowdance Corps left the Office of the President, the calm Li Tianlan arranged the room for Wang Tianzong.
The troops of the Snowdance Corps were still gathering, keeping a close eye on every move in the Office of the President.
After confirming that Wang Tianzong was unlikely to leave, Li Tianlan took Dongcheng Rushi back to his residence.
Dongcheng Rushi closed the door softly.
Li Tianlan sat in a chair and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, which he drank in one breath.
Dongcheng Rushi clearly saw that Li Tianlan’s face, which was rosy just now, suddenly turned pale. As he drank the tea, there was a cold sweat on his forehead.
“I want to take a bath and change clothes.”
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
Only he knew that, at this moment, the cold sweat on his back had completely soaked his military uniform.
“What happened?”
Dongcheng Rushi came over and reached out, planning to touch Li Tianlan’s forehead.
Li Tianlan reached out to hold her palm and shook his head. “It’s okay. I was scared to death.”
Wang Tianzong stared down at the medal in his hand.
The positions of the two were consistent in the general direction.
Wang Tianzong could not openly attack Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan did not dare to do anything to Wang Tianzong, either.
To a certain extent, the confrontation between the two was originally hovering on the bottom line of a crime—treason. Between advance and retreat, it was either a vast sky or a sheer cliff.
