Chapter 194: Political Affairs of the Three Kingdoms
Chu Ling and the lords of the three empires stepped into the Yuqiong Tower together.
The heroes of the three empires, who had already sat down in the Yuqiong Tower, all stood up to greet each other, smiling, Rao is Chu Ling, and he didn't expect that he would receive such a courtesy.
You must know that the three empires have always been kings without kings, and the gathering of the three emperors is already a rare spectacle for thousands of years, not to mention that it is still to welcome Chu Ling alone.
Looking at it, at this feast, the people who can sit in this place are basically the most powerful families in the three major empires, and everyone present exudes the aura of the Venerable Realm, and at the extreme eye, there are about forty or fifty people.
These are all powerhouses that belong to the three major empires, and on average, each empire has more than a dozen Venerable-level powerhouses.
And these are just some of the Venerables who appear here, and it is impossible for the three major empires to move out all their foundations for the sake of a Xuan Alliance, so there must be a lot of strong people in their lair.
With so many scenes of Venerable-level powerhouses gathering, Chu Ling's heart was beating in horror when he saw it, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly speechless.
He had long known that the three empires were very deep, but he never thought that it would be terrifying to this bottom. It can be said that in the entire Triangle Domain, before Chu Ling's Xuanmeng was born, there was no sect at all that could fight against the three major empires, even if it was the top-ranked Wanbaotong Tianxing and Liufeng Sect.
If it weren't for the fact that the three empires only had contradictions with each other, I am afraid that any empire that poured out of the nest would be able to directly crush the triangle.
Just as he was thinking about it, the three imperial lords had already led Chu Ling to the position of the first seat.
The three great lords sat side by side at the front, while Chu Ling was half a seat behind, while the rest of the Venerables sat down in turn according to their strength and prestige.
As for the disciples of each family who came with their elders to see each other, they could only honestly stand behind their respective elders.
And the crown princes of the three empires, thanks to their status as the successors of the empire, can also set up an extremely inconspicuous small seat next to their father, and there is not even a table.
This kind of etiquette once caused Chu Ling to be extremely uncomfortable, without it, except for him, all the people sitting were old men and old ladies, how awkward and awkward the scene was.
However, the three emperors are all old and spicy people who have experienced the world, and after a while, after a cup change, they are already the guests and hosts, laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere is suddenly a lot more harmonious.
After some communication, Chu Ling also had a general understanding of the situation of the three empires.
Among the three emperors, he has already seen Jiang Beihai of the Dayan Empire, because of Jiang Yucheng, the crown prince Jiang Yuhan is also an old acquaintance, so the Dayan Empire has a good attitude towards him.
And the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Xia family, was quite distant from themselves, and seemed to have a faint hostility, especially when he just came in, the young man who was full of hatred for himself, at this moment he was standing behind the Great Xia Emperor, Xia Tongtian, sweeping Chu Ling's gaze from time to time, still full of resentment.
As for Xia Long, the prince of Great Xia, who had married Liang Zi with Chu Ling at the auction, he was not seen.
And between Da Xia and Da Yan, they don't seem to be very welcome. Regarding this point, Chu Ling had already heard that Da Xia and Da Yan were old enemies, and this was the consensus of everyone in Ximang.
As for the most mysterious Immortal Feather Divine Dynasty among the three major empires, the attitude towards Chu Ling is extremely vague, neither good nor bad, the old emperor who is quite old has a lot of eye feces piled up in the corners of his eyes, and a pair of dry ones are always tucked in his sleeves, as if he is extremely afraid of the cold, and his eyes are squinted, and he looks drowsy.
It was only when he occasionally opened his cloudy eyes that the shrewdness of the old emperor was revealed.
He didn't seem to care about the excitement around him, just like in this world, there was nothing more important than him taking a nap, and he was even more deaf to the open swords and hidden arrows that the two lords of Great Yan and Great Xia only saw.
It was only when everyone cheered and toasted together that he occasionally opened his eyes and showed a kind smile.
If this old emperor is like this, the key is that behind him, the young prince of the Immortal Feather God Dynasty, Feng Shaoqing, is the same, and he does not have the vitality of a young prince at all.
As if they weren't one of the three empires at all.
The banquet slowly warmed up, and the families of the three empires also began to chat enthusiastically, especially the controllers of the big families of those countries, who were wandering around, and at this moment, their carefully trained diplomatic skills had finally reached their peak.
The big families between the three empires are very eager to communicate with each other, and the conversation between the three major lords is quite cold, which makes Chu Ling feel a little strange, there are not many official exchanges, and the people-to-people exchanges are so close, which is a strange thing.
Perhaps seeing the confusion on Chu Ling's face, Jiang Yuhan, the prince of the Dayan Empire, quietly moved behind Chu Ling.
"Lord Chu League, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!" Jiang Yuhan bowed to Chu Ling with great grace, after three years of not seeing, Jiang Yuhan's facial contours appeared more resolute, and some scattered stubble appeared on his jaw, which was much more mature than the white-faced little student at the beginning.
Chu Ling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned a salute, saying, "Prince Jiang, don't come to harm!"
Jiang Yuhan smiled slightly, and did not beat around the bush, but asked directly: "I don't know how my brother is doing in Xuanmeng?"
"You don't have to worry about that, he's comfortable. Chu Ling said without hesitation.
Jiang Yucheng, this kid belongs to the kind of technician who is a dead house, and he is not allowed to engage in research, but he is uncomfortable, in the past three years in Xuanmeng, Chu Ling has not been outside at all, and he has seen Jiang Yucheng a few times, this person was born to engage in research.
Hearing that Jiang Yucheng was doing well, Jiang Yuhan also showed a reassuring expression, that expression was extremely real, and there was no falsification in the slightest.
This can't help but make Chu Ling feel a little emotional, other people's emperor's family is fighting openly and secretly all day long, but the two brothers of the Jiang family are really brothers, I have to say that Jiang Beihai's tutor is very good.
After Chu Ling and Jiang Yuhan drank a few glasses of wine, they gradually opened up the conversation. Seeing that the people below were communicating so eagerly, while the emperors of the three empires were sitting on it, looking at each other coldly, and there was a great look of letting go, Chu Ling finally couldn't help but ask.
After listening to Chu Ling's question, Jiang Yuhan sneered, pointed at these extremely eager people, and asked, "Do you know who these people are doing today?"
Chu Ling was stunned and said, "These people, aren't they from your three empires?"
Jiang Yuhan took a sip of wine and said, "Yes and no." ”
"It is said that it is because they are nominally subordinate to and under the command of our three empires. To put it bluntly, the three empires are actually the three alliances, and our three royal families are just the most powerful alliance among them. ”
"Usually due to the prestige of our royal family, these people don't dare to make a mistake, but the trade between the princes of the three major empires is a huge profit for the princes' families, which involves the vital interests of the princes and kings, even if it is the signboard of the royal family, it is not very useful. ”
"Moreover, these things are all acquiesced by the royal families of the three empires, so everyone has always turned a blind eye and no one has said anything. ”
"So don't look at the names of the three major royal families are very scary, in fact, the venerable-level power that can really be held in your hands is only a little more than those powerful sects, and all the others are the forces of the various princes and kings. ”
After listening to Jiang Yuhan's explanation, Chu Ling instantly understood.
This is actually the same as the twelve Xuan Alliances before him, although the twelve major sects, although they are all nominally subordinate to Chu Ling's Xuan Alliance, but once their own vital interests are involved, all the alliances must stand aside.
After speaking, Jiang Yuhan then pointed to the emperors of the three empires and said: "Actually, you don't look at the emperors of the three empires who are cold and indifferent on the surface, but in fact, there are no longer a few private trade contacts. ”
It turned out to be a state-owned enterprise, Chu Ling knew it again in his heart.
It is no wonder that between countries, the customs and land are different, and the products are also complementary to each other, and the trade profits between this back and forth are a huge number, and no matter how noble the royal family is, it is impossible to watch such a large amount of money flow into the pockets of other princes and kings.
Politics is too obscure, Chu Ling sighed secretly in his heart.
"By the way, I've got to give you a heads-up. Jiang Yuhan, who was drinking a little wine, seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "You don't want this meeting, it's really the three emperors who seem to have nothing to do, please come out to drink, I heard my father say that the main purpose of this banquet seems to be to discuss the issue of your Xuanmeng." ”
Hearing this, Chu Ling's eyes narrowed, and he was full of murderous intent, and Jiang Yuhan was a little chilled when he saw it, he couldn't imagine that after going through so many things, there were still people who wanted to put their ideas on his Xuanmeng's head.
Jiang Yuhan saw Chu Ling's unhappy face, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, my father said that it has become an established fact that Xuanmeng is big, as long as Xuanmeng has you for a day, no one dares to do it easily!"
"Me?" Chu Ling said in surprise, pointing to his nose.
"Of course, otherwise who do you think it is?" Could it be that Li Shouzang and the Nine Kou who have surrendered to you?" Jiang Yuhan said disapprenously: "The prestige of the Master Shouzang who has attacked the first place in five thousand years is here, but it is very deterrent, plus the Nine Great Kou, your Xuanmeng is only the level of a large and medium-sized sect, Hulu Weng and the Ling Sect Master of the Liufeng Sect may occasionally make friendly moves, but do you think that with these forces, it is enough for the three major empires to play such a guard of honor to treat you?"
Chu Ling shook his head consciously, and asked again, "Then why me?"
Jiang Yuhan hesitated for a while, waved his hand, and said: "It's not because of the big demon in your body, it is said that in the ancient land, you have more than one enemy, and you even killed two princes alive, you know, the three major empires have no princes for you to kill, just for this record, no one dares to easily move your Xuanmeng." ”
"Say, in your body, what is it...... Is there a ...... That ......" In the end, Jiang Yuhan still couldn't help it, and asked very vaguely.
Chu Ling grinned, revealing an unfathomable smile, and said a maddening answer: "If there is, there is, if there is not, there is none." ”......
