The King of Special Warfare Chapter 472 - Clear-Headed

Chapter 472 Clear-Headed

Almost everyone in Eastern Europe knew the reputation of Dark Swordmaster.

Most of the time, Qin Xilai’s name was even more famous than that of Qin Dongchao, the Patriarch of the Qin Clan in Eastern Europe.

But now, few people present had heard of Qin Weiyun.

Qin Weiyun was Qin Xilai’s niece.

The Qin Clan was a real rich and powerful clan in Eastern Europe. The outstanding young people of the Qin Clan should not be a secret to the high-level officials of the Snowdance Corps who had paid attention to Eastern Europe.

However, the high-level officials of the Snowdance Corps had never heard of this name.

Even in the rumors that had spread a few days ago, the woman that the Qin Clan had intended to use to arrange a marriage with Li Tianlan did not have that name. She was Qin Qingyao, the eldest daughter of the younger generation of the Qin Clan.

Who was Qin Weiyun?

This could not really be considered a concern for the higher-level officials of the Snowdance Corps.

However, the conjecture brought about by this name was unusual.

No one in the Dark World knew Qin Weiyun.

But everyone knew Qin Weibai.

Qin Weibai, Qin Weiyun.

The combination of the two names was enough to make people’s imagination run wild.

The relationship between the Qin Clan and the Lin Clan was no longer a secret.

But the truth could never be denied.

In the past few years, there had been indeed a deep gap between the Qin Clan and the Lin Clan. So they were actually much closer to the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Even before Li Tianlan had come to Eastern Europe this time, the Qin Clan had become a close ally of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in everyone’s eyes.

But the reality was the opposite.

The Qin Clan had chosen to stand with Li Tianlan.

If Lin Fengting’s words could change the Qin Clan’s standpoint, then where had the gap between the Qin Clan and the Lin Clan come from in so many years?

No one believed that the reason why the two families stood together again was because of Lin Fengting’s words.

However, no one knew why the Qin Clan had changed their stance so suddenly.

It was not until this time that the name Qin Weiyun appeared.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Qin Xilai in the conference room.

Everyone thought of a problem.

Could it be that Qin Weibai, who represented the highest will of the Samsara Palace most of the time, came from the Qin Clan?

No one knew where Qin Weibai came from.

So all of this was very reasonable.

The only unreasonable thing was that when Qin Weibai had shown up in Zhongzhou State for the first time, she seemed to have come from a small village in the southwest of Zhongzhou State.

Was she an illegitimate daughter?

Which big shot in the Qin Clan had an illegitimate daughter?

Light footsteps sounded outside the conference room.

A girl with bright eyes and a pure face came in.

The girl was about 20 years old, fresh and refined, without any of the arrogance or coldness that a daughter of a rich and powerful family had. She was not the most beautiful woman in the world. But anyone who looked at her would feel that she was very comfortable, outgoing and lively, without any edges.

“Sixth Uncle.”

The girl smiled and greeted Qin Xilai. Her bright eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.

Qin Xilai nodded and asked, “Why are you here?”

The Qin Clan was very large. Although it was a branch separated from the Lin Clan, its internal network was also very complicated. Qin Weiyun’s position in the Lin Clan had not been high before. Her family was relatively ordinary in the Qin Clan. Her parents were the executives of the Qin Clan’s subordinate group. With years of hard work and the group’s dividends, she could barely get a nine-figure family property. Such a family was already prominent among ordinary people. However, compared with the Qin Clan, the value of Qin Weiyun’s whole family’s a.s.sets was only equal to a luxury car customized by several core young people of the Qin Clan, not eye-catching at all in the whole Qin Clan.

However, Qin Xilai liked his little niece Qin Weiyun very much and had always doted on her. A few years ago, after Qin Weiyun had come back from Western Europe, her family’s status in the Qin Clan had risen sharply. Now, her family had a very close relationship with Qin Xilai.

However, although they had a good relationship, Qin Weiyun was not the kind of child who would run from Baiyu State to Wulan State in order to take a look at her Second Uncle. Now she came here, could it be…

There was a flicker of confusion and doubt in his eyes.

“I’m here to see Sixth Uncle,” Qin Weiyun said with a cheeky smile.

Qin Xilai nodded quietly and did not introduce them to Qin Weiyun. He just smiled and said, “Let’s call it a day.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng wanted to say something but stopped himself. He glanced at Qin Xilai.

“General, you don’t have to look at me.”

Qin Xilai laughed and said, “I can do something, but now I agree with Miss Dongcheng’s idea. This plan is really good, and the profit is going to be crazy. But I hope you can think twice about Tianlan’s safety and the lives of tens of thousands of iron-blood soldiers in the Snowdance Corps.”

He nodded and turned to leave with Qin Weiyun.

The meeting room was quiet.

Li Zonghu frowned and glanced at Li w.a.n.gsheng subconsciously.

Li w.a.n.gsheng remained silent for a long time before taking a look at Dongcheng Rushi.

His expression was extremely serious as he asked, “Young Madam, how is Young Master’s injury?”

No one knew what kind of injury he had right now.

Li Tianlan had lived in the Office of the President on the day he lost consciousness.

The Office of the President had invited the most famous expert in Europe to see him. After a checkup with the most advanced instruments, Li Tianlan was still unconscious.

No one went in to have a look.

Only Dongcheng Rushi took care of Li Tianlan’s body.

Dongcheng Rushi looked in the direction where Qin Weiyun left and was in a daze. After a long while, she said softly, “Very good. I think he is going to wake up soon.”

The Office of the President in Wulan State was not shabby, but it was not so luxurious.

In Europe, where strength of capital was always placed above the law, the Office of the President in Wulan State was far less magnificent than the headquarters of the Qin Clan in terms of size and environment.

Qin Weiyun had no interest in anything in the Office of the President. After following Qin Xilai to his temporary residence, the first sentence she said was, “Sixth Uncle, can I see His Highness Li Tianlan?”

Qin Xilai, who was pouring water, paused for a moment, then he calmly smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Little girl, did you come here with a task today? Is it your family’s task or your sister’s task?”

Qin Weiyun giggled, pretended to be naive, and wanted to get away with it.

“Tell me the truth.”

Qin Xilai touched Qin Weiyun’s smooth forehead and said, “Don’t pretend to be naive. Tell me, what are you doing here?”

“Nothing. I just want to see what His Highness Tianlan looks like and help take care of his injury in pa.s.sing.”

Qin Weiyun blinked her eyes and looked around.

Qin Xilai looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

“Well, it’s Fourth Uncle and my sister who asked me to come and have a look.”

Qin Weiyun struggled for a while, then pouted and told the truth.

“Does your fourth uncle really believe the rumors outside?” Qin Xilai frowned and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

There were also many branches inside the Qin Clan. But in the Patriarch branch, there were only him and his elder brother Qin Dongchao. Qin Dongchao ranked fourth in the Qin Clan in this generation, and Qin Xilai ranked sixth. Although they were blood brothers, Qin Xilai did not agree with the behavior of his elder brother Qin Dongchao. Although the two brothers had the same standpoint, their relationship in private had always been stiff.

Because Qin Xilai was a pure Swordsman.

All of Qin Dongchao’s actions were in line with the image of a patriarch of a wealthy family. He was an ambitious man who was used to scheming after a series of calculations and fights. He was cold-blooded, tough, powerful, and interest-oriented.

Although Qin Xilai did not like this elder brother, he also knew that the Qin Clan needed such a patriarch to lead the way.

Therefore, in the recent days full of rumors, more and more people speculated about Li Tianlan’s injury, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Naturally, Qin Dongchao had doubts in his heart.

However, Qin Xilai was still a little dissatisfied. He even felt that Qin Dongchao was old and confused. Not to mention other things, he should know how unreliable the rumors made up during the chaos were. Even if Li Tianlan was really disabled, would the Lin Clan and the Samsara Palace really give up?

If they did not give up, then what was the point of letting Weiyun confirm Li Tianlan’s condition now?

“I’m sure that Fourth Uncle believes it.”

Qin Weiyun took a sip of water and laughed. “Sixth Uncle, there are some rumors that were released by us.”

Qin Xilai was slightly stunned. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did we let them out by ourselves?”

Qin Weiyun nodded vigorously.

Qin Xilai thought for a moment and suddenly said, “You just said that your fourth uncle and your sister asked you to come here? Which sister?”

A few years ago, Qin Weiyun had been in danger when she had traveled in Western Europe. It was Qin Weibai who had saved her and took her as her sworn sister.

This was also the direct reason why Qin Weiyun’s family’s status had risen sharply in the Qin Clan.

Since then, Qin Weiyun had always been talking about Qin Weibai.

But Qin Xilai suddenly remembered that Qin Weibai was indeed Weiyun’s sister. But she had more than one sister. Not to mention Qin Weibai, there were several inside her family.

“It’s…”

Qin Weiyun bit her lip and hesitated. “Sister Qingyao.”

Qin Xilai understood it in an instant. He was stunned, and then he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Qin Qingyao.

In terms of relationship, his relationship with Qin Qingyao was much closer than it was with Qin Weiyun. She was his niece, Qin Dongchao’s biological daughter.

Similarly, Qin Qingyao was also the heroine in the recent rumors.

It was rumored that the Qin Clan had taken a fancy to Li Tianlan’s infinite potential for the future, so they planned to use Qin Qingyao to arrange a marriage with Li Tianlan. At first, it was just a small-scale rumor, but it had been getting more and more exaggerated over the past few days. Qin Xilai was a little annoyed, but Qin Weiyun’s words suddenly made him understand what was going on.

This rumor was actually released by the Qin Clan. Was his elder brother testing the reactions of all parties or Li Tianlan’s reaction?

“Does Qingyao also want to do that?” Qin Xilai shook his head slightly and asked in a strange tone.

Qin Qingyao was the eldest daughter of the younger generation of the Qin Clan. Her appearance and temperament were impeccable, and she was quiet and generous. She looked very gentle and approachable to everyone. However, as her uncle, he naturally knew how arrogant his niece was. The Qin Clan used Qin Qingyao to arrange a marriage with Li Tianlan. So it undoubtedly placed a heavy bet on Li Tianlan. But the problem was, what kind of women were around Li Tianlan? Dongcheng Rushi was water-clear pure and beautiful. w.a.n.g Yuetong, the little princess of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, was a matchless beauty. Qin Weibai was incomparably beautiful and graceful.

Qin Qingyao might be as good as the first two.

But how could his niece compare with Qin Weibai when Qin Weibai was with Li Tianlan?

Qin Xilai shook his head and said, “Qingyao is proud and arrogant. Does she want to do that?”

Qin Weiyun held her cheeks with blurry eyes. She said softly, “Who doesn’t want to?”

Qin Xilai wanted to say something, but eventually, he fell silent.

Indeed.

Who would not want to do that?

When Li Tianlan had first entered the secular world, some people might have paid attention to his ident.i.ty. But no one had taken him seriously.

After the final battle of Heaven Capital, this kind of contempt had diminished.

After the next three years, when he had been forgotten in the Dark World, he suddenly appeared and completely laid down his status as the Chosen One.

In the chaos of Eastern Europe, he had killed two Invincible Realm experts in one day.

This year, Li Tianlan was only 22 years old.

He was not a real Invincible Realm expert.

No one could be sure how far Li Tianlan could go in the future.

Because the Chosen One was a legend.

Now, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was the best in the world and Sword Emperor was invincible in the world. But for people in this era, who could imagine the first glorious period of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai?

This was the man who was bound to surpa.s.s w.a.n.g Tianzong if there was no accident.

This was a man who was destined to be invested in by all the superpowers.

This kind of Li Tianlan was worthy of any woman flying into a love fire like a moth.

Especially for ambitious women, whether they were G.o.ddesses or queens, when Li Tianlan reached his peak one day, he could totally stand up to any woman’s wild dream.

In all women’s eyes, Li Tianlan was the most ideal one to marry.

Who would not want to do that?

Qin Xilai thought for a long time.

No matter how proud and arrogant his niece was, she probably did not have the courage to refuse such a man.

Willingly?!

He suddenly thought of Qin Weibai, and he got a headache a little.

“Does that mean Qingyao agreed, so she asked you to come and have a look?” Qin Xilai asked.

“Yes.”

Qin Weiyun chuckled and said, “Actually, I also want to see this brother-in-law. I’m also curious because my two most outstanding sisters want to choose him as their husband.”

Qin Weiyun had several elder sisters.

But there were only two who were the best.

One was Qin Qingyao, who was blood-related.

The other was Qin Weibai, who had no blood relationship.

Qin Xilai took a deep breath, but still felt that he was not able to catch his breath. So he felt a little depressed.

“Sixth Uncle, can you let me have a look?” Qin Weiyun looked at Qin Xilai pitifully and asked.

“How can I make the decision?”

Qin Xilai shook his head and said, “I don’t know about the injury condition of His Highness. Well, I’ll take you to see Miss Dongcheng in a while.”

In the end, Dongcheng Rushi did not agree with Li Zonghu’s military plan.

This plan was indeed very cruel. w.a.n.g Tianzong was forced to have no way back, but they had to pay too much. With such a high price and the risk that Li Tianlan was going to take, Dongcheng Rushi could not agree with such a plan.

What she really wanted most was the safety of her man.

She had been accepting the idea of treating Li Tianlan as her husband since she was a child. Now, this idea had completely become an instinct.

Compared to his safety, the benefits she would gain were totally secondary.

The meeting had ended in peace.

But Li Zonghu was somewhat helpless.

Li w.a.n.gsheng was also a little helpless.

“Looks like there’s no other way.”

Li Zonghu muttered and shook his head. “In fact, your idea is good. But His Highness’s safety is really important. I previously ignored that if we send out all our elites, His Highness would definitely be attacked, and then the situation would be even worse. When you told me this plan, you should have thought of it, right?”

“Yes?” Li w.a.n.gsheng said casually.

“Yes?”

Noticing that there was something wrong with his tone, Li Zonghu looked suspicious.

Li w.a.n.gsheng was slightly surprised and said with a smile, “Of course, there is an arrangement.”

“What arrangement?”

Li Zonghu’s eyes lit up.

Li w.a.n.gsheng shook his head and said, “But it doesn’t make sense. Young Madam doesn’t agree, not only because of the safety of Young Master, but also because she doesn’t want to lose the Snowdance Corps of more than 10,000 soldiers.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng scratched his head, suddenly turned around, and said, “I’m going to see His Highness.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng looked at his back and left. He smiled and looked at the Prime Minister, who was still sitting in the conference room. He smiled and said, “Mr. Prime Minister, you have worked hard these days.”

Although Prime Minister Reeker shook his head, he felt somewhat flattered in his heart. He was in an extremely awkward situation now. In terms of status, he had the highest in Wulan State. But in the conference room, as Li Tianlan’s dog, his position was the lowest. Li Zonghu, a tough man, had never taken him seriously. Even if Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud faced with him, they were full of a cold and murderous intent even with a warm smile all day long.

Only Dongcheng Rushi and Li w.a.n.gsheng treated him as usual. They were not polite, but they maintained a kind of respect.

He stood up subconsciously and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did you tell General Li about this plan?”

Li w.a.n.gsheng sighed helplessly, nodded and said, “Yes.”

“What a pity.”

He shook his head.

Prime Minister Reeker tried to comfort her and said, “There will be a chance in the future. I believe we will win.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng nodded. He looked more dull, so he was very sincere when he smiled. “Please help me more in the future, Mr. Prime Minister.”

He bowed slightly.

Prime Minister Reeker subconsciously bowed as well.

Li w.a.n.gsheng helped him and said with a smile, “We’re all on the same side. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Prime Minister Reeker moved the corners of his mouth, and finally, he gave a self-deprecating smile.

“You’re His Highness’s own people.”

“But I’m just a dog.”

“How would I dare to be rude?”

“I know that you, Prime Minister, are a little uncomfortable in the heart.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng shook his head and interrupted Reeker’s counterattack. “But please keep your confidence in Young Master. The reputation of a dog is not good. But Young Master is your master, isn’t he also my master? Everyone is the same. Maybe one day later on, when Young Master gets to the top, you will find that being a dog is really not shameful. What’s important is whose dogs we are.”

He patted Prime Minister Reeker’s shoulder, left the meeting room, and returned to his own room.

His room was very close to Li Tianlan.

This was Dongcheng Rushi’s subconscious arrangement.

The Terracotta Army·Black Tortoise led by him was scattered around and formed a central line of defense.

Li w.a.n.gsheng sat in his room and thought for a while. Then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The phone was very quickly connected, and an elegant and soft voice was heard on the phone. “h.e.l.lo?”

“Madam, Young Madam refused your plan,” Li w.a.n.gsheng answered softly with the phone in his hand.

The one on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Then came the voice of Bai Qingqian, the current leader of Guandong Province in Zhongzhou State. “I was just going to tell you that Qin Weibai also refused my plan.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng fell silent.

The figure of the Dongcheng Clan in Eastern Europe’s chaos was very obvious.

However, Bai Qingqian’s figure was extremely hidden, and the plan was so accurate. Li w.a.n.gsheng knew very well that if Dongcheng Rushi agreed to Bai Qingqian’s plan, then Bai Qingqian would definitely borrow enough strength from Qin Weibai to protect Young Master.

But Qin Weibai had also refused her plan.

This should be a rare thing for Bai Qingqian.

Bai Qingqian was an extraordinary woman in the political circle of Zhongzhou State. She was elegant and graceful, but only those who had really learned her skills knew how resolute and strong this Secretary Bai was. Before Bai Qingqian had come to Guandong, she had taken charge of Qinzhou. In less than one session, she had come in and fought alone. Within four years, she took Qinzhou into the territory of the Giant Group as the second leader. This was enough to see through Bai Qingqian’s means. Such a person like her could not do anything without absolute certainty.

But when she was absolutely confident, she still miscalculated.

“Why?” Li w.a.n.gsheng could not help asking.

Qin Weibai had found him not long ago. Her means were extremely direct. She had completely dispelled his doubts about Bai Qingqian with a phone call.

It was a phone call from Li Honghe, so he had to trust it.

He had fully cooperated. But in the end, it ended up like this. Li w.a.n.gsheng could not tell how he felt now.

“She said that it wasn’t what she wanted,” Bai Qingqian said softly.

“Hmm?”

Li w.a.n.gsheng was a little confused.

“Her original words were that Tianlan shouldn’t seek self-protection under the general trend. That is no different from a mere vegetative existence. What she wants to give Tianlan is freedom,” Bai Qingqian said.

“I don’t understand.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng told the truth. He did not understand Qin Weibai’s crazy thoughts at all.

“I don’t know, either. But…”

Bai Qingqian paused for a moment and said with a smile, “Let’s wait and see.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng silently hung up the phone.

At the same time…

Qin Xilai and Qin Weiyun also found Dongcheng Rushi beside the small fountain in front of Li Tianlan’s residence.

Dongcheng Rushi was picking flowers in the flower bed next to the fountain. It seemed that she wanted to take them to the room. The rain in the sky evaporated automatically around her. The flowers in her hands were stained with some rain. She and the flowers looked extremely beautiful and tender.

“Miss Dongcheng!” Qin Xilai shouted.

Dongcheng Rushi turned around and nodded. “Mr. Qin.”

“This is my niece, Qin Weiyun.”

Qin Xilai felt a little embarra.s.sed, as if he was helping his family steal him from their compet.i.tors. He felt uncomfortable. “We’ve come to visit His Highness and see his injury on behalf of the Qin family. I don’t know if it’s convenient…”

Dongcheng Rushi glanced at Qin Weiyun and blinked.

Qin Weiyun also blinked her eyes. It seemed that she was innocent. But after all, she was not deeply involved in the secular world. There was a kind of instinctual hostility in her eyes.

In her eyes, Dongcheng Rushi was the one who took that man away from her two elder sisters.

She was really annoying…

Dongcheng Rushi was very sensitive to Qin Weibai’s hostility. She frowned doubtfully and said in a clear voice, “Why are you looking at me?”

Qin Weiyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said obediently, “Sister is very beautiful.”

Dongcheng Rushi said, “Oh, you don’t have to go to see Tianlan. He won’t like you.”

Qin Xilai, who looked embarra.s.sed, coughed hard and said with a bitter smile, “Miss Dongcheng, don’t get her wrong. Weiyun didn’t mean that.”

Qin Weiyun’s face turned red, and she glared at Dongcheng Rushi and then at Qin Xilai.

Qin Xilai really could not understand these women’s subtle thoughts. He touched his nose, looked at Dongcheng Rushi, and said, “I don’t know if it’s convenient for us to go in.”

Dongcheng Rushi thought for a moment and nodded.

She walked to the door with the flowers in her hands, opened the door, and walked in.

“I’ll tidy up first. Please wait a moment,” Dongcheng Rushi said.

These days, Li Tianlan had been unconscious. In order to make it convenient for her to take care of him, she had been living with Li Tianlan all the time. Of course, she had to pack up some personal clothes.

Qin Xilai nodded with a smile and said, “Of course, of course.”

Dongcheng Rushi slowly went upstairs.

There was only one main bedroom in the building, which was very s.p.a.cious.

Dongcheng Rushi pushed the door open and was stunned.

Li Tianlan, who had been unconscious for 10 days, had opened his eyes and was sitting on the bed, motionless.

He was not in a dull daze.

At this moment, Li Tianlan seemed to be completely lost in thought.

He sat there and looked extremely mysterious.
