Chapter 2268: Seek skin with tigers! (1/2)
Li Jiande laughed. The more kind he smiled, the more ferocious the light in his eyes: ”So, my dear granddaughter, you think the covenant between the four major electors' families is so unreliable, you will be provoked by such rhetoric. Divorce? If it is true, the four of us have fought out hundreds of years ago. How can we work together to maintain the balance of the empire until today?”
”The grandson did not instigate discord, just tell the truth that others dare not say, do not want to say, do not want to say.
Li Linghai calmly said, ”The most direct example is right in front of us-the blood alliance event, using such a simple, rude and reckless method to assassinate an oriental veteran is definitely not my style, and it does not benefit us reformers. It's really not what we did. I would dare to ask whether this matter was planned by the four major electoral families, and did the Li family participate in it?”
Li Jiande was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: ”I can guarantee this matter with the word'silver fox'. The Li family has absolutely no plan or participation, and has no prior knowledge.”
”I didn't do it, nor did the Li family do it. Is that the Dongfang family made it themselves?”
Li Linghai grinned and showed sharp teeth. ”A veteran died and became the biggest victim. After that, he formed a special investigation committee with a thunder and thunder. The tentacles reach out to many war zones and get a lot of benefits for themselves.
”As a result, the Dongfang family got the largest piece of the cake, but the four major electors’ families were required to carry the cake together. Dongfang Wang was able to make a good calculation. Let me ask, such a despicable and shameless act can be said to be against the covenant of the four families. Are you loyal?”
The wrinkles under Li Jiande's eyes shrank, as if a mosquito that didn't exist was pinched to death, and he didn't refute Li Linghai's words.
Li Linghai was encouraged and became more excited. He raised his voice again and said, ”Old ancestors, this is the most degraded and darkest era of the empire, and it is also a great era that has to face earth-shaking changes! The empire's counterattack in the past ten years has been completely completed The national treasury has been emptied, a large expeditionary army needs to be maintained, countless disabled veterans need to be compensated, a lot of money to be invested in reconstruction of the dying new Guangfu area, and countless remote worlds whose economies are on the verge of collapse need to be comforted. Rest and rejuvenate.
”All this requires money and resources, a lot of resources, astronomical resources!
”Yes, the four major electoral families rely on their wealth and strength, and their boats and guns. They can ignore the many miscellaneous soldiers and immortal cultivators in remote worlds, but you do not leave them a way to survive. Will not sit and wait for death.
”Today, as a revolutionary leader, I ask for the support of the Li family, but even without me, even if I was completely obliterated by the family, this force of struggling for survival and one-minded change will never disappear out of thin air, but will be completely eliminated. Out of control, it becomes a flood, destroying everything you see along the way!
”How can this crazy force be contained? Where do the trillions of money and astronomical resources that need to be maintained and rebuilt in all aspects come from? It's very simple. Four fat beasts fall down casually. Enough for others to eat for decades, and survive the most difficult period of construction of the new Guangfu area!
”Wait until the new recovery area that was greatly destroyed by the Holy League is rebuilt by us, and various resources are continuously produced again, and the local people gradually get rid of the brainwashing of the Holy League, that is the turning point for the empire to prosper again!
”In short, the rejuvenation of the empire requires the sacrifice of a giant beast. If you don't want to see the giant beast of the Dongfang family fall, it will only be the giant beast of the Li family that falls. There is no third choice!
”You have seen and heard, the anger and hungry neighs of thousands of immortal cultivators in remote worlds have converged into a torrent of change. This torrent has surging in front of you. Instead of being stubborn to fight it, It is better to firmly control this power in your own hands!
”I am willing to lead all the reformists, as well as all officers and soldiers of the joint fleet, to become the sharpest sword in the hands of the ancestors and the Li family, and to be on the front line against the Dongfang family. We only need the Li family behind to help push one. One hand is enough!”
Li Linghai's words were awe-inspiring, impassioned, and his snow-white skin was full of bright red.
Li Jiande remained unmoved and said coldly: ”But...I heard a lot of gossip that the purpose of the reformists does not stop here, not only to deal with the Dongfang family, but also to overthrow the four major electors' families! ”
”Yes, I have said that on many occasions.”
Li Linghai didn’t deny it, and wrote lightly, “Of course the ideals and doctrines are like this. Otherwise, how can I attract so many passionate and noble daoists to gather around me, and how can I make them willing to cooperate with the Li family? Become a knife in the hands of ancestors?
”As for whether this knife will get out of control, or even backlash against the holder of the knife, it depends on the level of the ancestor's sword dancing. Don't the ancestors even have the confidence to control these reformers?”
”Then—”
Li Jiande smiled and said, ”What benefits can you get from it yourself, don't say that you are just for the revival of the empire and the future of the family.”
