Chapter 494 Dugu Tianquan's Broken Heart
Li Hao did not comment.
In his opinion, except for the super-strong peak-level strongmen, or the high-level peak strongmen who have extraordinary life-saving skills, other people entering the Mariana Trench is really no different from seeking death.
Moreover, there are only a few red stones and black stones scattered in the Mariana Trench. If you want to encounter them, it is estimated that the probability is about the same as winning the lottery, and there is no need to take risks.
Unless you really reach the end of your lifespan and try your luck before you die.
Regardless of whether you can see red stones and black stones, as long as you can go back alive, you can still accumulate some experience for future generations.
Li Hao's eyes fell on Dugu Tianquan's face again.
But he found that Dugu Tianquan looked a little depressed.
This is really strange. He rarely saw this unruly guy show this look before.
It was not easy for him to ask in front of so many people.
Knowing that Dugu Jian and Ling Tian must have come here for the Huaxia City-State Alliance and the Huaxia Federation, Li Hao took Dugu Jian and Ling Tian to the study room and Pang Tong after chatting with Su Liluo and the others.
"Has Huo Lei not taken the initiative to cause trouble yet?"
Sitting in the study room, Li Hao asked Ling Tian and Dugu Jian.
He had heard from Ling Qiushuang that he was unilaterally hired as an honorary elder of the Huaxia City-State Alliance Elders Council. Knowing that it must be arranged by these two old men, Li Hao did not intend to say much.
As long as he does not need to be in charge, it will be fine.
As for supporting the Huaxia City-State Alliance, that is a foregone conclusion.
In the past, he could still ask Yuan Meng to help, but now Yuan Meng's injuries have not healed and he doesn't know how to solve it. If he doesn't support it, the Huaxia City-State Alliance can't pick anyone else to support it.
The Huaxia Federation has one super peak, two high peaks, and other peak strongmen. There are also many territories, and the power is still quite scary.
"No trouble yet."
Dugu Jian said: "But recently Huo Lei has been recruiting troops and horses, attracting many refugee forces, and continuing to poach our people, and even contacting several elder families. It is estimated that it will not take long before there will be friction. Even if there is no friction, he will create friction."
"Yeah..."
Ling Tian took over the conversation and said with some emotion: "Fortunately, we have you to support us now, so not many people are poached by him. Otherwise, I am afraid that our city-state alliance has been seriously injured by now."
The existence of Huo Lei, even if he is just raising the flag, has a great impact. And now he is uniting Jinghong Martial Arts School and Xufeng Consortium, and it is the time when several elders of the City-State Alliance Elders' Council have died and the power is changing.
If it were not for Li Hao, maybe the City-State Alliance would really be disintegrated by Huo Lei from the inside.
This guy was able to win over 23 urban areas from the City-State Alliance in one fell swoop, which was obviously premeditated and had been operating in secret for a long time.
Ling Tian and his team did not even rule out the possibility that there were still some metropolitan areas or big figures in the alliance who had already turned to Huo Lei, or had already been bribed by Huo Lei, but had not yet been exposed.
Li Hao rubbed his nose, "What can I do?"
Dugu Jian said, "Have you ever been sure of defeating Huo Lei?"
Li Hao shook his head and told the truth, "No."
If he could raise his mental power to the peak level, he would be confident that it would not be a problem to defeat Huo Lei.
But now, there is indeed no certainty that he can withstand Huo Lei's thundering power.
Dugu Jian said, "Then there is no need to do anything. Huo Lei is ambitious now. If he wants to start a civil war, let him start the dispute first! We don't need to bear this guilt."
"But Huo Lei has been trying to win over the strong..."
Ling Tian frowned.
Dugu Jian said, "If he wins over, we can also win over."
He looked at Li Hao, "But some people may need you to come forward at that time."
"Yeah."
Li Hao just nodded.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Catherine.
If he wanted to have the confidence to defeat Huo Lei, completing Catherine's mission was the only way at the moment.
And as long as Huo Lei was defeated, perhaps, the civil war in China could be avoided.
...
Ling Tian and Dugu Jian had dinner at Li Hao's place before going back.
Dugu Tianquan was originally planning to go back with them, but was stopped by Li Hao, "Huangfu asked us to go to his place to play for two days, why are you going back? Just sleep at my place tonight and go to Huangfu's place tomorrow."
Dugu Tianquan stayed.
Night fell.
Su Mu, Su Hanchi and others also came to find Li Hao.
They were also talking about the recent changes in China.
Huo Lei tried his best to win over people. He even arranged for people to contact secretly in Fenglin City, where there were refugee forces who had just defected to Fenglin City not long ago.
The conditions offered were very generous.
Fortunately, Li Hao had given Fenglin City a lot of benefits some time ago, and Su Mu was not a stingy person. He treated them with sincerity and gave those refugee forces a lot of sweet things. The leaders of those refugee forces were still grateful in their hearts, so no one left Fenglin City.
It was more than eight o'clock, and Su Mu and the others left. Li Hao finally had the opportunity to talk to Dugu Tianquan alone. The two stayed in the pavilion of the lotus pond in the villa, one of them holding a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out smoke.
"Why do I feel that you are in a bad mood today? Are you heartbroken?"
Li Hao asked Dugu Tianquan casually.
Dugu Tianquan tilted his head to look at him with a complicated expression, "You know?"
"Know what?"
Li Hao was a little confused.
Then he widened his eyes, "Are you really heartbroken? Didn't you get Angelica?"
Dugu Tianquan looked even weirder, and rolled his eyes, "I confessed to her during this holiday. Damn, I asked her if she had a crush on me. If she did, even if China and the Black Hawk Empire were at odds, I would definitely find a way to marry her in the future. Do you know what she said?"
"What?"
"She said...she likes your type."
Dugu Tianquan gritted his teeth, but looked like he was about to cry.
"Cough...cough...cough...cough..."
Li Hao was choked by the smoke.
There's not much difference between liking his type and liking him, right?
Is he accidentally stealing his brother's girlfriend?
Looking at Dugu Tianquan's resentful look, Li Hao felt embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in her."
"Why do you think I'm so upset?"
Dugu Tianquan tilted his head to look at him, but said faintly.
Li Hao: "..."
The rain fell in love with the cloud, but the cloud fell in love with the wind.
The wind is not interested in the rain, and is a good brother to the cloud.
What a bloody triangle...
Li Hao did not expect such a bloody plot to happen to him.
"It's all my fault..."
Li Hao apologized and patted Dugu Tianquan's arm deeply, "It's my charm that delayed you from picking up girls."
Dugu Tianquan rolled his eyes.
Then he said: "I really had a good impression of Angelica, but now I understand that she didn't reject my approach, I'm afraid she wanted to get close to you through me. This woman is too deep-minded, green tea, it's better to stay away from her, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."
"You can't eat grapes, so you say grapes are sour?"
Li Hao said.
"Fuck you!"
Dugu Tianquan was completely annoyed, pinching Li Hao's neck and shaking him hard.
