The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 88: Back then

The atmosphere in the cabin was dull and depressing.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dim light shone in the simple house. Everyone's expressions seemed to be hidden in the darkness, looking vague and weird.

Fenghuang with a cold expression poured a glass of water for Li Huacheng and the old man beside him. As for Gu Qianchuan, he was ignored.

Gu Qianchuan didn't respond. Sitting across from Kuangtu Li, representing Kunlun City, he lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes, his eyes flickered, and wandered around in every corner calmly.

"Thanks."

Li Huacheng took the water glass that Fenghuang handed over, and said something with a smile.

Phoenix didn't respond.

No one spoke.

The atmosphere in the small space became more and more oppressive.

Li Huacheng lowered his head and took a sip of water, and looked at Li Kuangtu calmly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He is not familiar with Li Kuangtu. More than 20 years ago, during the period when Li Kuangtu was the most vigorous, the academic school was far from the scale it is today. Competing for the position of governor, at his level at the time, he could barely be regarded as a figure in the eyes of Li Kuangtu, but that was it, and it didn't matter at all. The two met a few times on different occasions, at most Just a nod to each other.

So this time, in order to get in touch with Li Kuangtu, Li Huacheng brought not only Gu Qianchuan, but also a former Central Continent director.

In silence, Li Huacheng turned his head slightly and glanced at the old man beside him.

The old man’s surname is Yang, with a single name of Feng. Maybe not many people in Zhongzhou now remember this name, but more than 20 years ago, he was a real strongman with a strong reputation in Zhongzhou. Minister of Inspection.

As for Yang Feng's position at that time, it can be said that he was the most staunch supporter of the Southeast Group.

Before entering the Central Continent Center, he was the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he was able to serve as the top leader in the core headquarters of the Li family. It can be said that Li Honghe is the most trusted giant.

So after the treason case broke out that year, even though he knew there was something tricky in it, Yang Feng still advocated a thorough investigation, supported Li Honghe and the Li family, and even broke with the backbone of the Southeast Group belonging to the Beihai Wang family. Collapsing, there are many senior officials like Yang Feng, but there is only one end.

Clear!

After shuffling the cards again and again, most of the senior officials who had been loyal to the Li family left the stage of power,

The end of Yang Feng, who is the leader of Central Continent's board of directors, is actually not good, but the ending of early retirement is not too bad.

The victor's public opinion campaign over and over again obscures too many things.

Yang Feng, a tough man with a strong hand, gradually disappeared from the memory of many people. It wasn't until Li Honghe fell and the Li family rose that Yang Feng, who had been living in Youzhou for a long time, was invited out by Li Huacheng.

Feeling Li Huacheng's gaze, Yang Feng frowned slightly, hesitating, and just about to speak, Li Kuangtu had already taken the initiative to speak out, breaking the oppressive silence.

He glanced at Li Huacheng, then fell on Yang Feng, nodded, and said in a calm tone: "Uncle Yang, I haven't seen you for many years, how is your health?"

"generally."

Yang Feng shook his head. He came from a military background. Even in his old age, his sitting posture is still upright. In addition, he is extremely tough in the world. Most of the time, his whole person is cold and stern from the inside out, but at this moment, he His coldness was still the same, but his whole body carried a kind of haggardness that couldn't be concealed, looking extremely helpless.

No one can specifically explain how much the fall of Li Honghe has dealt to Yang Feng. The two have known each other for many years, from childhood to old age. It is a true lifelong friendship. Back then, Zhongzhou allowed Li Honghe to take away thousands of senior members of the Zhongzhou Special Warfare System. Combat strength goes to the border, and the last bit of foundation of the Li family is preserved. People like Yang Feng and Wu Zhengmin have contributed a lot. Even if he retires early, he still uses his influence to create relatively the best for the Li family. Situation, every time Li Honghe leaves from the border camp, he will definitely go to Youzhou to see Yang Feng. This kind of friendship is something most people can't understand.

When the news of Li Honghe's demise spread throughout Central Continent, Yang Feng seemed to have aged in an instant, and he was still suffering from a low-grade fever until now. He had no choice but to come because of Li Kuangtu.

"In these years, I have been very clean, no one disturbs me, and I can be regarded as self-cultivation."

Yang Feng was holding a cup to drink water, his arms trembling in the darkness.

After the former director of Central Continent retired, no one bothered him.

This is not a good thing at all, it only shows that he has been squeezed out of the high-level circle by those in power.

Li Huacheng coughed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's Mrs. Li who's sorry for you."

Li Kuangtu said softly, his eyes were sincere and filled with guilt.

No matter how extreme his personality is, he will respect and feel guilty for the old man who has dedicated everything to Mrs. Li: "Both he and I are sorry for you."

This him, of course, refers to Li Honghe.

Yang Feng glanced at Li Kuantu with complicated eyes: "What happened back then?"

In the past two decades, the treason case has always been the most sensitive matter, and some information requires extremely high authority. The information on the treason case back then has now been classified as confidential files. If you want to read it, you need at least the military or The general-level authority of the special warfare system.

Yang Feng was the director of Central Continent back then, so there was no problem with his authority, but the important thing is that even if he dug out those materials, he still couldn't explain too many problems.

The treason case broke out too fast and too swiftly, like a frenzied thunderstorm. After the thunderstorm, the entire Central Continent was turned upside down.

In less than six hours, the nearly 100,000 elite troops in Central Continent were almost completely annihilated. The Invincible Realm was seriously injured, the fierce soldiers were shattered, countless people fell in the Shocking Thunder Realm, and blood flowed like rivers. No one knows how tragic the truth was buried in the countless bones and blood back then.

"then?"

Li Kuangtu thought for a while, then shook his head, and laughed: "It's not important anymore. What's the point of bringing up the things of that year now?"

"Of course it makes sense."

Li Huacheng smiled and said, his eyes looked at Li Kuangtu, his eyes were sincere and gentle: "In fact, Zhongzhou has not investigated clearly the treason case back then. Just set aside the controversy. The Li family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has been the pillar of the country. Personally, I believe in Li's loyalty to Central Continent. Even after the treason case, Li's actions for many years have proved this. So If there is really something hidden about the treason case back then, you can tell it, and I promise in the name of President Zhongzhou that Zhongzhou will conduct an in-depth and meticulous investigation to find out the truth."

"Tsk tsk..."

Li Kuangtu smiled and shook his head, looked at Li Huacheng, his attitude was neither arrogant nor low-key, just plain: "And then?"

Li Huacheng was slightly taken aback.

This simple rhetorical question contains too many meanings at this time.

He thought for a while and said calmly: "If there is really something hidden about the treason case back then, we will give everyone an explanation when we find out the truth."

His words are very neutral, even from a personal standpoint, he originally intended to believe in Li's loyalty, but his current status is still the president of Central Continent after all.

Kuangtu Li didn't speak.

Li Huacheng knocked on the table in front of him, and calmly said: "If it turns out that you did not treason back then, the Central Continent Council intends to apologize to Mrs. Li, to you, and we welcome you back to Central Continent."

Kuangtu Li raised his eyebrows: "Is this the attitude of the council?"

"For now, it's just my attitude."

Li Huacheng said calmly.

"Madman, at least everyone has to figure out what happened back then, so that we can discuss a suitable solution."

Yang Feng took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone.

Kuangtu Li was silent for a while, nodded, and said flatly, "Ask him."

He glanced at Gu Qianchuan who kept his head down all the time, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "What? Is there money on the ground that you can pick up? You can't even raise your head? I know you. You participated in the siege of me back then, but then Your strength was not very good then. Oh, sorry, your strength is not very good now."

Gu Qianchuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Kuangtu Li.

Li Kuangtu squinted his eyes, his expression was cold and almost feminine.

Gu Qianchuan gritted his teeth, sneered, and did not speak.

"Qianchuan, you were also one of the parties involved back then, why don't you introduce the situation back then?"

Li Huacheng said calmly.

"A lot of details, it's been too long, I can't remember."

Gu Qianchuan took a deep breath and said expressionlessly.

"Then tell me roughly."

Li Huacheng looked at Gu Qianchuan, with a hint of toughness in his tone.

Gu Qianchuan took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "More than 20 years ago, not long after Li Kuangtu was the head of the Frontier Guards, he publicly made radical remarks about the border war at a certain legion meeting. All countries expressed their dissatisfaction. When the situation was chaotic, the Frontier Guard Corps decided to conduct a joint exercise with the southern theater. Many martial arts forces and special warfare organizations in Central Continent were invited. During the exercise, the Frontier Guard Corps stepped across the border of Central Continent. Treat a part of An Nanguo area as part of the battlefield."

Gu Qianchuan paused, and glanced at Li Kuangtu: "But when the exercise was about to end, Kunlun City found traces of a large-scale mobilization of the Annan Army. When the legion's "Great Wall Project" left the country, Kunlun City immediately intercepted it and reported to Kuangtu Li. It belongs to the blockade of Li Shi's Thunder Realm master, and it is a frontal breakthrough."

Gu Qianchuan sneered, and continued: "It took nearly an hour for the incident to happen. Colonel Hu Song, the head of the information department of the Frontier Guard Corps, intercepted the communication signal at that time. We only knew at that time that Li Pingcheng's defection was authorized by Li Kuangzi. He He used his authority to take away a large amount of important data of the "Great Wall" project and handed it over to Li Pingcheng. The call records at that time are still kept in the Zhongzhou archives. The evidence is solid. Kunlun City believes that Li Kuang is suspected of treason. It was reported to the Central Continent Council immediately, and the decision of the Council was to temporarily control Li Kuangtu, and the result..."

Gu Qianchuan said no more.

The result is already clear.

The most tragic battle in Central Continent in recent years broke out on the border. The Li family collapsed completely, and the turmoil has continued to this day.

"Which council member gave the order?"

Kuangtu Li looked at Gu Qianchuan and asked with a playful expression.

"It's Vice President Chen Wanning."

Gu Qianchuan gave the answer without hesitation.

Yang Feng sighed.

Kuangtu Li smiled, but did not speak.

Chen Wanning, the vice president more than 20 years ago, died of illness a few years ago. Unlike Yang Feng, even after retiring, Chen Wanning is still the top leader of the Southeast Group. Chen Wanning is from the Chen family in Beihai. The speaker and vice president of Beihai Province can be said to be the absolute hardcore of the Wang family of Beihai.

How could there be any Kunlun City more than 20 years ago?

The Gu clan doesn't even have a member of parliament, they just rely on Kunlun City, they don't have high-level power, they can't make such a big disturbance, it is the most reasonable thing for Beihai Wang's high-level to intervene.

"This matter, the procedure is wrong."

Yang Feng said lightly.

He knew about this matter, and of course he also knew about Chen Wanning's role in it. The procedure was wrong. He said this sentence many times back then.

"The situation was urgent at that time, and the only person we could contact immediately was Vice President Chen Wanning."

Gu Qianchuan replied indifferently.

According to the normal procedure, if there is a problem with the position of the head of the Frontier Guard Corps, Gu Xingyun should report to Li Honghe, the top leader of the Central Continent Special Warfare System, immediately. Even if Li Honghe needs to avoid suspicion, he can also report to the standing minister Dongcheng Hanguang responded to this problem and reported it directly to Chen Wanning. The procedure was indeed wrong, and it could even be said to be outrageous.

But such outrageous questions are nothing compared to treason cases.

Li Huacheng looked at Li Kuangtu, and said slowly: "Is what Li Pingcheng said true?"

He didn't want to hear Li Pingcheng's question, but Li Kuangtu's opinion.

Li Pingcheng used to be a major general officer of the Frontier Guard Corps. When the treason case happened, he finally died in the territory of An Nanguo. At that time, he did find important information about Zhongzhou's "Great Wall" plan, the "Great Wall Project" It is a weapon defense system that has been used by Central Continent until now. After several updates, its performance has become more and more stable. It can be regarded as one of the core secrets of Central Continent.

At that time, Kuangzi Li authorized the Great Wall project and had a call record with Li Pingcheng. There are results.

"When the incident happened, I didn't have any practice with Li Pingcheng."

Li Kuangtu said indifferently.

Li Huacheng was silent, looking at Li Kuangtu.

"The Minister of Information at that time, Hu Song, intercepted the call signal between me and Li Pingcheng. Where is Hu Song?"

Kuangtu Li asked suddenly.

"died."

Yang Feng said indifferently, he glanced at Gu Qianchuan, and said calmly: "After the treason case happened, Hu Song was promoted to Major General of Zhongzhou in the same year, transferred to the Ministry of National Defense, and died in a car accident the next year."

Li Kuangtu sneered and remained silent.

"That doesn't mean anything."

Li Huacheng said slowly.

"It really doesn't explain anything."

Li Kuangtu nodded: "But I am not familiar with Li Pingcheng. With his age and military rank, he is not even considered an important task in the Li family. At most, he is better than a marginal figure. In my forties, I have exhausted my potential. If I really want to treason, why should I entrust him with such an important task as stealing the Great Wall project? I was the Marshal of Zhongzhou at that time, and the Li family was like a cloud of masters, and the border guards were full of talents No matter how I look for it, it will not be Li Pingcheng's turn to carry out such an important task for me."

Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Kuangtu Li told the truth, which can be regarded as doubtful. With Li Pingcheng's status at the time, it was impossible for Li Kuangtu to look down on him anyway, let alone let him perform such an important task. Doubts are everywhere in the treason case, but they are only speculative doubts, and they are not very convincing in the face of conclusive evidence.

"The most important thing is, am I a traitor and join An Nanguo?"

Kuangtu Li sneered, and his voice was extremely cold in the dark room: "Those who believed that I would treason at that time are all idiots? I entered the Central Continent Parliament when I was more than ten years old. I am the youngest member of the Central Continent. The Li family is the core force of the Central Continent. My father was the War God of the Central Continent at the time. There was no accident. I was invincible at the time. Within three to five years , I can become a new generation of Central Continent's God of War to protect the country, and my status is no lower than that of any director in Central Continent, and I may even have greater power and freedom in some aspects."

"What reason do I have to treason? Benefits? Such a Li family, such a me, what kind of interests can impress me? There may be such interests, but with Tiannan, can I get them? Future? I don't want the future of Zhongzhou , What kind of future do you want? I betrayed the country and joined Annan, was it because the people who believed in this at the time were idiots, or did these people think I was an idiot?"

Li Huacheng smiled wryly.

The treason case has been controversial until today, and the most fundamental reason is what Li Huacheng said.

The evidence of Lee's treason is conclusive.

But he has no motive and no reason.

Central Continent is the most powerful country in the world. It was also more than 20 years ago, and it is even stronger than it is now. Li Kuangtu himself stands at the peak of Central Continent. He has all the benefits and future that he should have. Yes, Zhongzhou can give more, and give more. Annan can't show the interests that can impress the madman Li, let alone make him treason. This kind of approach is like an ambitious hero giving up his own efforts It would be ridiculous to beat up the younger brother for ordinary gangsters.

"But the evidence is solid. You did contact Li Pingcheng. How do you explain it?"

Gu Qianchuan asked suddenly.

"I haven't contacted him."

Kuangtu Li suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes.

"Madman, what do you want to say?"

Yang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Li Kuangtu was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Li Xi...was by my side back then."

His eyes became more and more indifferent and disgusted.

Gu Qianchuan smiled, his eyes were full of provocation, and he said meaningfully: "Li Xi is by your side now."

Li Kuangtu gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

It is well known that Lixi was the woman of Li Kuangtu back then.

Therefore, in Li Xi's treason case, Li Xi's personal testimony immediately appeared extremely credible, and this was also a powerful blow that dragged Li out of the cloud.

And now...

Lixi became the wife of the city lord of Kunlun City, but on the premise that she betrayed Kunlun City and stood beside Li Kuangtu again.

Even if she testified to Kuangtu Li again that he was not treasonous, how much credibility would she have?
