The two of them walked into the living room. Ling Lan sat down casually.
Ye Kui's adjutant saw that someone had come in so he served two cups of hot tea without waiting for his superior's order.
"There's no good tea here. Please don't mind," Ye Kui said apologetically.
"Are you complaining that my subordinates didn't take good care of you?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly.
"I wouldn't dare," Ye Kui replied with a smile.
Ling Lan took a sip of the tea and waited for Ye Kui to speak. She didn't lose to anyone in terms of patience.
Ye Kui sighed and said, "It wasn't the Ye family's idea to come to Base Nebula this time."
"Oh?" Ling Lan was surprised. "You don't mind that I'm from the Li family?"
Ye Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Although our Ye Clan and the Li Clan have been fighting non-stop, and there are even some places where the fighting is very bitter. However, both of our families know that once the other party is defeated, our families will be destroyed too. Aristocratic families sound nice, but whether or not they can survive depends on the military world. "
"No matter how strong and powerful the aristocratic families are, they are nothing in front of the country's violence. If they need you to exist, you will exist. If they don't, they can destroy your family in a matter of minutes. " Ye Kui was touched. This was the pain of aristocratic families. Even a super world like theirs couldn't avoid it.
"That's why you sought cooperation and scattered your family members in the military. Didn't you want to take root in the military so that the military won't be able to abandon you easily?" Ling Lan said thoughtfully.
"Yes. However, the deeper you go into the military, the clearer it is that this isn't enough. Without military power, everything is fake. If they want to deal with you, they can pull out all the roots. No matter how deep the Ye family's roots are, they still have one root. They can't be separated." Ye Kui smiled bitterly. After countless generations of hard work, they realized that they were still controlled by others. They still couldn't get rid of the sharp blade hanging over their heads.
"Isn't the Ye family's main force in the 9th division? Why haven't you achieved anything after working so hard for so long? "Ling Lan looked indifferent. She seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be mocking.
Of course, Ye Kui thought that Ling Lan was mocking them. He smiled bitterly and said, "The three marshals have been keeping an eye on us. As long as we develop a little, they will definitely make a move. They will forever control the Ye family's power at about a quarter of the division. They won't let us become cold-hearted, but they also won't give us the chance to control a division … Major General Ling knows this very well.
"The Li family's situation in the 4th division is the same as ours. In the beginning, when their two successors followed you into the 23rd division, the Ye family laughed at the Li family for being desperate. They actually placed their bets on the Ling family." At this point, Ye Kui sighed deeply. "Now, it seems that they are the ones who have seen through everything. They know that General Ling Xiao is not a fish in a pond, and that he will become a dragon one day."
"So?" Ling Lan frowned.
"Although it's a little late, the Ye family is the same as the Li family. We want to help General Ling Xiao so that he can truly rule the world." Ye Kui finally said the purpose of his trip.
Hearing this, the corners of Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly. She slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and her back straightened from its initial languid state. She raised her head, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at Ye Kui.
She just sat up straight, and Ye Kui felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him.
"Major General Ye, my father is a pure soldier. He loves his country and his people, but he doesn't have much ambition. I don't care about what you said, but don't spread it out. It will be bad for the Ye family." Ling Lan's expression was cold and stern as she spoke righteously.
Bullsh * t! Ye Kui almost blurted out. If Ling Xiao didn't have any ambition, how could he explain his recent actions? Also, if that wasn't the case, why would the three marshals work together and send the Ye family to restrain the Li family? Wasn't it to stop Ling Lan from developing further and increase Ling Xiao's power?
Ye Kui took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He deliberated for a moment before saying, "It was a slip of the tongue just now, but … the Ye family respects the general and we hope that there will be a chance for us to work together. I hope that Major General Ling can pass on the message."
Indeed, he was anxious. It was very likely that General Ling Xiao wouldn't tell his son about this. Although Ling Lan developed quickly, he was still a 24-year-old youth. He was too inexperienced in all aspects. Knowing too much would be a bad thing.
The Ye family panicked because General Ling Xiao developed too quickly and the Li family beat them to it. That was why they sent Ye Kui to get in touch with Ling Lan. They hoped that they could build a relationship with General Ling Xiao. Now, it seemed that this wasn't a good idea.
"I don't get involved in my father's matters. If the Ye family needs anything, you can look for my father directly," Ling Lan rejected immediately.
Damn it, if they could look for him, why would they send him to look for Ling Lan? The Ye family was under the watch of the three marshals. They didn't dare to contact the generals privately. This time, the three marshals sent the Ye family to Base Nebula. The Ye family knew that they were being used as scapegoats, but in order to get in touch with the Ling family, they still accepted the mission.
Ye Kui took another deep breath. Although Ling Lan was young, his words were flawless. He didn't know what to do. However, it didn't matter. He had plenty of time.
Ye Kui remembered his father's words. If he couldn't build a relationship with General Ling Xiao immediately, he had to learn from the Li family and stay by Ling Lan's side. He had to use facts to prove the Ye family's sincerity.
Ling Lan knew what she wanted to know, so she stood up and said goodbye. Ye Kui also knew that the Ye family wouldn't be able to get what they wanted from Ling Lan in a short period of time. Thus, he decided to continue wasting time with Ling Lan. The atmosphere between the two parties was quite harmonious. They said goodbye in a friendly manner.
When they walked out of the door, Ling Lan's originally cold expression softened. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, proving that she was in a good mood.
"How was it?" Li Lanfeng asked nervously. Li Lanfeng knew why Ling Lan went to see Ye Kui.
After all, Ye Kui had to be released sooner or later. If this matter wasn't resolved, once Ye Kui was released, Li Lanfeng would have endless trouble waiting for him. Even the Li family wouldn't be able to protect him. After all, he controlled a major general from the Ye family this time. The Ye family wouldn't take this lying down.
"Why aren't you worried when you're doing it?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. She still liked to tease Great Beauty Li.
"Regiment commander, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Lingtian." Li Lanfeng immediately claimed credit for himself. He didn't care about his face at all.
How shameless! Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong, who were at the side, despised him in their hearts. They were now very sure that the most shameless person in Lingtian was this Great Leader Li in front of them.
Ling Lan was also surprised. When did Li Lanfeng become so shameless? She had only left the base for a few days. What exactly happened?
"I know, regiment commander, you'll definitely be able to resolve this." Li Lanfeng seemed to have understood something. The originally nervous expression on his face disappeared and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. Ling Lan actually felt a trace of sweetness in his smile. What the hell was this?
