Chapter 485 To Let This Era Pass

“I think Jiang Shangyu is not bad.”

When he said this, Gu Xingyun used a questioning sentence with a clear sense of inquiry. It sounded very polite.

However, Jiang Shan’s expression became extremely embarrassed in an instant.

The vice marshal, the second-in-command of the largest Special Warfare Battalion in Zhongzhou State, was indeed in a respected position.

But right now, the Snowdance Corps was not something that anyone else could interfere with.

Chen Qingluan was Wang Qinglei’s direct descendant. In front of Wang Tianzong, Li Tianlan killed him directly with a domineering aura. If he had not given face to Wang Tianzong, Li Tianlan would not give face to Gu Xingyun’s direct descendant.

At present, in the Snowdance Corps, only Li Tianlan’s will was unstoppable. If Jiang Shangyu went to the Snowdance Corps even with a high title, in fact, what was the use of it?

The most important thing was that today, the chaos in Eastern Europe had completely evolved into a huge vortex that hadn’t shown up in the Dark World in decades. The storm was raging, and the tides never stopped. The Invincible Realm experts were like nonentities in the depths of the chaos. Besides, there was an extremely powerful marshal on the top. Was Jiang Shangyu looking for death when he came over?

Jiang Shan held the phone tightly in his hand and did not speak for a while.

“Don’t misunderstand.”

Gu Xingyun seemed to know that his proposal was too sudden, so he chuckled and said, “I heard that Jiang Shangyu’s injury recovered very well. Li Tianlan is too young in the Snowdance Corps. At first, we planned to arrange an old comrade for him. But Li Tianlan is too domineering and he won’t respect anyone, no matter who it is. The old comrade can’t control him, so it’s better to find a young man to gain experience in Eastern Europe. Now in the younger generation, Jiang Shangyu is arguably one of the best. If he goes to Eastern Europe to experience something, it’ll be good for his growth. To say the least, even if he loses, it’ll be no big deal.”

Jiang Shan’s expression was one of uncertainty.

Jiang Shangyu clearly heard Gu Xingyun’s voice.

His eyes narrowed, then he nodded and said in a barely detectable voice, “I’m going to Eastern Europe. Promise him.”

Jiang Shan was stunned and looked at his son.

Jiang Shangyu nodded hard.

Jiang Shan breathed deeply. He really did not know how to refuse Gu Xingyun’s proposal.

The Jiang family had been unstable in recent years.

Jiang Shan was in the Decision Making Committee. Although he was very prominent, after having given up the position of Black Tortoise, one of the Four Spirits, a few years ago, the Jiang family seemed to become extremely weak. After going further and further away from the Prince Group, Jiang Shan did not approach the Wang family of Beihai. Now he could only approach the Special Warfare Group and Gu Xingyun step by step.

At this time, he could not refuse any of Gu Xingyun’s requests.

Jiang Shan himself also knew in his heart that he should always hand in his loyalty pledge.

Could he just let Jiang Shangyu go to Eastern Europe?

He did not think he could afford the risk of making a pledge.

Jiang Shangyu nodded with a smile and confirmed his own thoughts again.

Jiang Shan took a deep breath as he held the phone and said in a deep voice, “Since His Highness thinks so highly of Xiaoyu, I have no objection. I will let him go to Eastern Europe.”

“Good.”

Gu Xingyun laughed happily. “You tell him for me that after returning from Eastern Europe, I’ll give him a big surprise.”

Jiang Shan silently hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Shangyu. After a long silence, he said slowly, “Tell me what you think.”

“Eastern Europe, I have to go and have a look at it. I had no suitable identity before. Since Gu Xingyun brought the identity to me, why wouldn’t I take it?” Jiang Shangyu chuckled and said.

“Is it really that easy to take on this identity?!”

Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes, and there was faint anger in his tone.

“It’s not a difficult thing.”

Jiang Shangyu chuckled and said, “I don’t know how Chen Qingluan died, but I know Li Tianlan well. If he was not reasonable, he would not kill him. So it’s not difficult to guess how Chen Qingjie died. When I go to Eastern Europe, I may represent Kunlun City and the Special Warfare Group. But I’ll first represent my own position. I’m the vice marshal and I follow the Commander-in-Chief’s orders. As long as I do well, I don’t have to worry about Li Tianlan troubling me. Dad, don’t forget that Li Tianlan and I have a cooperation.”

“Naive.”

Jiang Shan sneered. “Let’s not talk about something else. In terms of your current realm, your Thunder-shocking Realm is unstable. Are you going to be the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps? Any high-level member of the Snowdance Corps is at least at the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. As for the realm, you can’t bean everyone. Don’t talk about anything else…”

“Is the realm so important?” Jiang Shangyu suddenly said.

His voice carried an extremely peculiar silence.

Jiang Shan paused subconsciously.

“Don’t worry, Dad. My realm is not a problem. Don’t forget, my injury…”

He smiled gently and felt indescribably comfortable. “I’m much better now.”

“Even if we don’t talk about the realm… how can things be so simple? Chen Qingluan was killed in front of Wang Tianzong, and Li Tianlan was safe and sound. It could explain a lot of problems. But do you think there are some things that Chen Qingluan wants to do by himself? He could not go against the will of the Wang family of Beihai when he was in the Wang family of Beihai. Can you go against the will of Kunlun City when you’re in Kunlun City?”

Jiang Shan said in a low voice, “I can’t help myself.”

“In fact, many people don’t understand one thing. In the chaos in Eastern Europe, except for a few people, no one could do anything about it.”

Jiang Shangyu said calmly, “Because they don’t understand what will happen after the chaos of Eastern Europe.”

Jiang Shan frowned and thought about his son’s words seriously.

“In these years, we have been very depressed, so has Li Tianlan. Only when an era is about to fall can a new era be created. But during this period, for those who are capable of creating a new era, it is oppressive.”

“Gu Xingyun and Wang Tianzong, no one can deny their power and strength. Their positions are high, but they are not omnipotent,” Jiang Shangyu said seriously.

“What do you want to do?”

Jiang Shan frowned and warned him, “Don’t do anything stupid.”

“I don’t intend to do anything stupid, but I have to create opportunities in Eastern Europe for our Jiang family. The reason why I cooperate with Li Tianlan is that we have the same goal: to let this era pass.”

Jiang Shangyu looked up at the bright sunshine and white clouds in the sky.

The air in the city was very good. The sky was high and the clouds were light. The sky was blue and extremely pure.

“It’s a nice day.”

Jiang Shangyu suddenly said, “But…

“There’s also a shadow.”

Jiang Shan stared at his son in a daze, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Jiang Shangyu looked into the distance and stared in the direction of Eastern Europe. He kept silent for a long time.

Gu Xingyun said that he had communicated with Wang Qinglei.

These words were not completely accurate.

To be exact, the communication between Gu Xingyun and Wang Qinglei had not yet ended.

Even when he had called Jiang Shan, Wang Qinglei had sat opposite him.

At first, Wang Qinglei was the one who most wanted Jiang Shangyu to be the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps.

This recommendation was unexpected to Jiang Shan.

It was also a surprise to Gu Xingyun.

Even after hanging up the phone, Gu Xingyun did not know why Wang Qinglei had recommended Jiang Shangyu.

Wang Qinglei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked with a chuckle, “What did Jiang Shan say?”

The two of them were now in the VIP room of the Sky Academy.

The final maneuver was close to the end, and one-third of the personal maneuver had passed. There was less than an hour before the day formally began.

“What could he say?”

Gu Xingyun shook his head and coughed. “He can’t refuse.”

“That’s true.”

Wang Qinglei laughed, narrowed his eyes, and said, “I hope that Jiang Shangyu can give us a surprise.”

His tone was somewhat meaningful.

Maybe only he himself knew what this so-called surprise would be like.

“Why?”

Gu Xingyun narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wang Qinglei quietly.

“Because I want to remind you that if the Li family makes a comeback again, not only the Wang family of Beihai, but also Kunlun City will be deeply threatened by Li Tianlan, who will be as powerful as the sun at noon.”

Wang Qinglei said blandly, “Now the Wang family of Beihai is under a lot of pressure in Eastern Europe. Chen Qingluan’s death directly made us lose the right to speak in the Snowdance Corps. At this time, Kunlun City naturally shows some sincerity. It’s not just our business to deal with the Li family.”

“I mean why is it Jiang Shangyu?” Gu Xingyun asked with fixed attention, a trace of doubt flashing through his eyes.

Wang Qinglei was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. “Because he is capable enough. Since the old comrade can’t subdue Li Tianlan, naturally we should send young people. Li Tianlan is domineering to suppress the old comrade. But if he can’t tolerate new young colleagues, it means that he can’t tolerate them, which will affect many people’s view of Li Tianlan. I also hope to see this. Since we are sending the young person, he should be the one who is able to speak in front of Li Tianlan.”

Wang Qinglei looked at Gu Xingyun’s eyes and said thoughtfully, “If you don’t send Jiang Shangyu, are you willing to let Gu Hanshan go there?”

Gu Xingyun’s expression was slightly dull, and he lowered his head to drink tea.

He really could not bear to let him go.

Gu Hanshan was the heir with high hopes. Although his realm was not low, it was obvious that he could not deal with the situation in Eastern Europe. So it seemed that Jiang Shangyu was indeed the most suitable candidate.

“After tonight, what do you think of the situation in Eastern Europe?”

Wang Qinglei looked at Gu Hanshan and said, “If the Shadow Throne is withdrawn from Eastern Europe, we will lose a large part of our support, and even have a great loss when we face the Li family again.”

“Isn’t this exactly what you want?”

Gu Xingyun said calmly, “I hear that the relationship between KingTong and Wang Tianzong is very good.”

The conflict between Wang Qinglei and Wang Tianzong was becoming more and more obvious.

This was the biggest hidden danger inside the Wang family of Beihai.

In many people’s eyes, it was only a matter of time before Wang Qinglei took over the power. He was just waiting for an opportunity.

If the Shadow Throne suffered a heavy blow this time, Wang Tianzong would lose an ally when Wang Qinglei grabbed power in the future.

No matter how he looked at it, it was a good thing.

“But the problem is that I prefer Eastern Europe.”

Wang Qinglei laughed and said, “Li Tianlan should die.”

Gu Xingyun answered with a grunt but did not say anything more.

Wang Qinglei hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, “I heard that Kunlun City hid a sword after the treason case, and now it’s in Eastern Europe?”

Gu Xingyun looked up at Wang Qinglei with sharp eyes.

“By killing Li Tianlan with that sword move, we can make the most of each other’s strength,” Wang Qinglei commented.

“The sword is already out of the mountain. What can I do?”

Gu Xingyun was silent for a while, then shook his head in self-mockery.

“What you said is insincere,” Wang Qinglei said.

Gu Xingyun did not say anything, but he looked at the giant globe in the lounge.

The image of Eastern Europe happened to appear in Gu Xingyun’s eyes on the globe.

Gu Xingyun looked at it quietly and did not speak for a long time.
