MTL - The King of Special Warfare-v7 Chapter 493 : Not bad, not bad, not surnamed Li
Strictly speaking, this middle-aged man named Li Tianpeng, Li Tianlan should be called Brother Tianpeng.
He is different from the other elders of the Li family.
People always say that the old man of the Li family refers to the direct lineage of Li Kuangtu who once followed Li Honghe.
These people are all from the Li family, but not all of them have the surname Li.
And Li Tianpeng is a member of the Li family, more precisely, a member of the Li family.
The Beihai Wang clan has a branch, and the Lin clan has a branch.
The original Li family started from the generation of ancestor Li Xiuxin, and it was also a top power that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and naturally has its own branches.
Li Tianpeng's branch was separated very early. It has been passed down to the present. He has a long blood relationship with Li Honghe and Li Kuangtu, but he is very close to them. That branch really starts from the Li family. In terms of the big family, the seniority is relatively small. He and Li Tianlan are both brothers, so it can be said that they are brothers far apart.
It's just that it is meaningless to care about these things. Li Tianpeng is not a few years younger than Li Kuangtu, and he has called him Uncle Li Honghe since he was a child. From here, it is natural for Li Tianlan to call him uncle.
Whether it was when the Li family was at its peak, or after the collapse of the Li family, Li Tianpeng was very prestigious within the Li family.
To be precise, it is the Li Tianpeng brothers who are very prestigious in the Li family.
He also has a younger brother, both of whom are very talented. At the end of the Li family's most glorious period, the two brothers became the peak masters of Thunder Realm at the age of 30. Together, the two of them can even challenge the top half-step invincible realm. At that time, it can be said to be famous.
And compared to Li Tianpeng, his younger brother has a higher status in the Li family, even if the Li family is now controlled by Li Tianlan, the same is true.
Li Tianying.
Now in Leiji City, together with Huo Nan, he controls the Xue Wu Jun Group.
There are many elderly people in the Li family, but Li Tianying can definitely be said to be one of the people most trusted by Li Tianlan.
And the loyalty of the two to the Li family also needless to say.
During the most difficult period of the Li family, the Li family, who was trying to survive on the frontier, had to face extremely bad situations every day. Li Honghe decided to over-extend the power of the Li family, and let the elites of the Li family start in batches and suspended animation. Get out and join Tiandu Purgatory.
This plan has been implemented for nearly 20 years, with nearly a dozen groups of people.
The Tianpeng Tianying brothers had the opportunity to leave several times, but they always stood by the camp until Li Honghe left and went to Lin'an, and they followed.
In other words, they knew Li Honghe's plan at the earliest, and they didn't plan to put their chips on Li Kuangtu. From beginning to end, they were optimistic about Li Tianlan, and only Li Tianlan.
Now Li Tianpeng and Li Tianying are both invincible characters. Their position, strength, attitude, combined together, can be said to be the absolute characters of the Li family.
Li Tianlan believed that they would not leave, no matter what.
And their attitude also means that they don't want their companions to leave. After Li Tianlan has given his sincerity, they will definitely work in secret.
Li Tianpeng has a very high prestige in the Li family, and some words make it very convenient for him to say. His prestige, coupled with the means of Huangfu Yi, is the reason why so many people in the Li family remain silent and never leave?
"Tianlan is back."
Li Tianpeng looked at Li Tianlan and laughed: "Congratulations."
His expression was gentle, and there was an undisguised sincerity and warmth in his voice.
The current composition of Lee's staff is slightly more complicated.
Not only those veterans who are truly loyal to the Li family, but also some of the 'old men of the Li family' who came to take refuge in the process of merging the Heavenly Capital Purgatory. Some of these people went out from the border, and more were Li Kuangtu. The foreign forces gathered during the period of dormancy, because of Li Kuangtu, they are also members of the Li family, and their qualifications are very old, but as the situation changes, their positions are also very subtle.
Li Tianlan's departure from the Eastern Palace inevitably made them feel a little pity, even a little dissatisfied.
But for a real Li family like Li Tianpeng, Li Tianlan's departure from the East Palace is not necessarily a bad thing.
They have no opinion on the Dong Palace and Qin Weibai, on the contrary they respect it.
But after Li Tianlan left Tiannan, everything he was about to do in Youzhou, in Li Tianpeng's eyes, was the real Li's team, the real Li's, and he liked it very much.
Even if there is no such thing as the wealth of the East Palace and the foundation of the dynasty, but Li Tianlan is still there, and has replaced Gu Xingyun, and even really entered the parliament, this is enough.
Li Tianlan nodded and said calmly, "What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about the problems you left us."
Li Tianpeng was a little helpless, looking at Li Tianlan was like looking at a willful child with a tantrum.
"problem?"
Li Tianlan frowned.
"It wasn't that meeting, you promised freedom to everyone..."
Li Tianpeng clicked his tongue: "Many people are very excited, you are waiting for the result after the meeting, but I am the one who is busy.
Fortunately, you didn't come back yesterday, otherwise someone would have wanted to run away.
Huangfu and I worked together yesterday to stabilize the situation first.
Tianlan, I can understand your mood, but it is difficult for me to accept your decision this time.
Don't blame Huangfu either, our actions are mainly led by me. If there is a responsibility, it is my responsibility. "
"This is serious."
Li Tianlan sighed and said earnestly, "Uncle, I think it's better to respect everyone's choice."
"I didn't mean to disrespect other people."
Li Tianpeng looked at Li Tianlan with a very serious expression: "But in my understanding, your promise to everyone is just to give everyone a chance to choose freely, am I not wrong?
Does this mean that everyone just has the option to leave now, not that you have to drive everyone away? I say so, right? "
Li Tianlan nodded and hummed.
"so..."
Li Tianpeng laughed: "I didn't force them to stay, I just offered advice. If they wanted to leave, I wouldn't stop them. Rest assured, Your Majesty, Huangfu and I never threatened them.
Li Shi has now returned to the peak, and everyone is living a good life. There is no difference between leaving and staying. "
His Majesty Li Tianlan shouted, what can Li Tianlan say?
He now has a complicated perception of the Li family. He has been accepting the inheritance of the Li family since he was a child. Looking back now, he can be sure that Li Honghe did treat him with kindness.
But the story of another time and space always made him have a great haze in his heart.
The story he heard about himself in another dimension was actually very brief.
But the key is that now his memory is appearing in his mind almost all the time. Although those memories are messy and most of them can't be sorted out, they are enough to make Li Tianlan realize some key information.
He didn't know what was going on, but in those pictures that kept flashing, he saw that Li Tianying and Li Tianpeng were both dead, and the process of his own rise in that time and space was countless times more difficult than it is now.
Li Tianying died in the hands of the Beihai Wang family.
Li Tianpeng was killed by Li Kuangtu.
And many, many, many died for him.
Once it will be done, the bones will die.
Countless people's blood and tears finally recast Li's glorious steps, but it was a short-lived after all, and he died under Gu Xianyan's sword.
It's not that Li Tianlan doesn't welcome them to stay, but he sincerely hopes that they can have one more choice.
The so-called freedom and wealth and the so-called good days are what everyone sincerely yearns for.
Now that he can give it, why not?
"I really hope everyone can live the life they want."
Li Tianlan murmured: "No need, really, no need to tie everyone around, uncle, that's boring."
"I know."
Li Tianpeng's eyes were very gentle: "The current life is actually what everyone wants, it's already very good, Li Shi is not your Li Shi alone.
These two words are actually very important in everyone's heart.
If you didn't leave Tiannan, if the Eastern Palace had become a dynasty, then everyone would leave.
But it's different now. You are in a time of shortage. Even if you want to leave, many people want to stay and pull you for a while.
If you want freedom, no one will stop you. When you really stabilize, everyone can leave if they want. I want to retire early.
but not now. "
"Now..."
Li Tianlan opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty, now we are short of people."
Huangfu Yi said directly: "And there is a very, very, very lack of people."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, then silently took out a cigarette and distributed it to the two of them, and lit one himself.
Missing people.
Why doesn't he know this?
He originally wanted to transfer the group of high-level executives from the Eastern Palace, so that the core team around him was the core team, and he could quickly stabilize.
In his original plan, it wasn't just Li Baitian and Bai Youming who would be transferred.
It even includes Li Xi and Situ Cangyue, two invincible realms.
Once such a force is added in, the situation of the entire special warfare system will be quickly stabilized, and you will have the force in your hand that can barely control the overall situation.
But now, Ma Si has rejected those people's resignation applications.
Ma Si, a young man who has not yet grown up, does not approve, let alone Situ Cangyue and Li Xi.
Such a move indeed guaranteed the integrity of the Eastern Palace to the greatest extent, and minimized the damage caused by his departure from Tiannan.
But this also directly caused Li Tianlan to really have no one to use.
Huangfu Yi is a staff member.
But no matter how powerful aides are, it is impossible to conjure up talents who can act independently.
That's why he came together with Li Tianpeng and tried to keep the Li family.
But even so, it's not enough.
It can even be said that it is far from enough.
"Based on the words of the people in our hands now..."
Huangfu Yi paused and continued: "In fact, if you don't count the veterans of the Li family, I don't even know how many people we have.
The Xue Wu Jun Group will select some, the giant group will select some, and they can cooperate with the Northern Group and the Academy to select some, but that's it.
Your Majesty, I have a plan to change the structure of the entire existing special operations system, so that our personnel can be streamlined, but no matter how streamlined we are, we will not have enough people.
Even adding these veterans of the Li family is not enough, but at least it doesn't need to be too shabby.
If Tianpeng and I don't do anything, after a while, His Majesty will truly appreciate the feeling of sitting in Gu Xingyun's seat.
Because you won't see any difference at all, who Gu Xingyun used to use, and who you can only use now, because..."
He smiled wryly: "We don't even have anyone to replace."
"Isn't the problem in front of you?"
Li Tianpeng said with a smile: "Tianlan, I won't say much about your situation, Huangfu and I will lay out the facts, look at those people, how many are embarrassed to leave?
Even if you decide to go, you will come back and continue to help you, at least give you a ride to let you go higher, right?
When you were a child, you said take us out and let us live a good life.
Now that we are out, there are good days, but those years before, do not mean that they do not exist.
More than 20 years of hardships have come, how can Li's people be so hypocritical?
Freedom or something, it's good to have it, and what can you do without it?
And it's just not there for the time being. You've been here for so many years, and you still care about staying for a few more years to help you?
Don't worry, those of us are not very promising, but we can still achieve top things. In the future, we really have to wait for you to gain a firm footing. If we even establish a Li Dynasty, it will not be too late for us old guys to leave.
Now, hehe, you are in this situation, you can't beat it with a stick.
Our Li family is not bad, not bad, I can find someone to stand up for you in any position. "
"yes..."
Li Tianlan looked at Li Tianpeng and said softly: "The Li family is really not an errand, but I... my surname is not Li."
