Chapter 754: Harmony
Su Qin represented Liu Fan to discuss the alliance with the Lion Empire, forming an in-law is just a means, and when many things don't work, in-laws can often provide different solutions. Throughout the history of China, almost all marriages in history have had political purposes, the most obvious of which was the armistice. There are many examples of women in exchange for peace in Chinese history, and Liu Fan is ashamed of this kind of marriage, but sometimes he has to admit that it is indeed a good way. Just as Liu Fan is now trapped in the south of the empire, there is still a long way to go to unify the empire, and the current lion empire that is in the same vein as the human is Liu Fan's most heroic partner. Now that the princesses of the royal family have all married to the major noble families, there is no princess of the right age in the royal family to marry, and everyone can only propose marriage like the Lion Empire, of course, there is a deeper meaning in this, that is, to take care of the mentality of today's ambitious King Arthur.
King Arthur was fighting hard in the north, and it was not a day or two that he wanted to annex the Celestial Dragon Empire in the south, and his ambition could be seen from supporting Dong Zhuo to occupy the north of the empire. Who the actual ruler of the Celestial Dragon Empire is today is very clear to King Arthur, who is entrenched in the northern part of the Celestial Dragon Empire. Liu Fan let his subordinates come to ask for marriage, which in itself is a kind of submission, not to mention that Liu Fan also wants to marry his daughter, that is, in terms of seniority, the Dragon Empire is half a point lower than King Arthur, which does make King Arthur very excited, not to mention whether he has conquered this empire, but he has won in the nominal commanding heights. However, this marriage was indeed very cautious King Arthur, especially when Su Qin put the evidence of the Great War of Immortals in front of them, the people in the entire court gasped.
"King Bixia. That's all we have to say. I don't know what bixia means?" Su Qin said as he looked at King Arthur with a smile on his face. Don't look at Su Qin's smile now, but his mood is also very cautious. This time the responsibility of his envoy is very heavy, if the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Lion Empire can really join forces, Dong Zhuo in the north is not afraid at all, without the support of the Lion Empire behind him, the support of those remnants and Xiannu clans in the previous dynasty cannot compete with Liu Fan at all, in addition, Liu Fan can also use the strength of the Lion Empire to launch an attack on the bloodline army entrenched in the north, and destroy their army as soon as possible with a two-sided attack. Concentrate Liliang to clean up the demon clan and barbarians, and then you can concentrate all Liliang and the fairy world to fight.
"Honorable envoy, this matter is of great significance, can we discuss it?" King Arthur asked Su Qin with an expression, and Su Qin made a light gesture and walked out of the palace under the guidance of the guards. Su Qin smiled and glanced at the palace with the closed gate, and beckoned Guo Jing and Yang Guo to wander around the palace, although it is not as magnificent as the Daming Palace, but it is indeed a unique charm, and the buildings of the palaces everywhere are also exquisite and very beautiful.
"Sir. Do you think they'll say yes?"
"Weishenme will not, they will definitely promise us. Because it's their only chance. But what I'm most worried about now is what conditions they will propose, there are only eternal interests between countries, this time because of the war of human immortals, they have to join forces with us, with the help of our liliang to change their fate, but after the war, the sea clan, the demon clan, and the barbarian clan have been defeated by us one after another, and how the remaining large tracts of land should be distributed, these will be the focus of their consideration, so I am worried that if they make any excessive demands, this will not be easy to do. Su Qin said with a worried face, there is no shortage of wise people in the Corpse Lion Empire, how many benefits can be distributed behind this war, they will definitely not ignore it, these things The Lion Empire will definitely calculate carefully, and will definitely maximize the interests of their Lion Empire.
"Sir, do we feel like a white wolf with empty gloves this time, we didn't come with a little bride price, and we didn't even get any promise from the lord to bring the princess back, is this impossible?" Yang Guo, who had not spoken, suddenly looked up at the sun in the sky and said lightly, Yang Guo's words were suddenly stunned Su Qin and Guo Jing were stunned, and the random three of them were haha's daxiao, this time they did not bring any bride price when they came to ask for marriage, and they did not even get any promises, it seems that they have to grasp one of these degrees.
In the backyard of the palace of the Lion Empire, in a remote palace, Yushu in white stood in front of the bookcase and was engrossed in painting with the problem in his hand. Since Princess Yuling was kidnapped by Luo Cheng, Princess Yushu has no one to talk to in this huge palace. The appearance of his princess can be said to be rare in the entire lion empire that can be compared with it, but it is not loved by the king, especially after assisting Princess Yuling to escape, it is becoming more and more cold, and now it seems to have been forgotten in this palace, except for these maidservants, few people remember that there is such a princess of the right age to marry in this palace, because King Arthur does not like it, no one dares to marry her.
"Princess, princess, no, no, princess. Just when Yushu was about to finish, the door of the room was pushed open by a maid, and a maid hurriedly ran in and shouted loudly, Yushu's hand shook, and the problem in his hand was lightly clicked on the drawing paper, so that the beauty of the whole painting disappeared without a trace in an instant. Yushu frowned, and finally sighed deeply and put the brush aside, and gently dropped the paper and put it aside, the thick pile of paper obviously showed that Yushu had been studying the painting all this time.
"Yuzhu, how many times have I told you, don't be so frizzy, let's say, what's going on?" Yushu put down the pen in his hand and looked at the servant girl who was gasping for breath with a solemn face.
"Princess, it's not good, it's really not good, I just heard that the people from the Tianlong Empire came to ask for marriage, and King Bixia has agreed, and now they are discussing it in the main hall. Yuzhu looked at her princess anxiously and said, only to see Yushu sigh softly, and then took out a piece of paper again and prepared to paint. Yuzhu hurriedly walked over. snatched the paintbrush from Yushu's hand and said anxiously to Yushu: "My Royal Highness the Princess." Now that everyone is begging for relatives to the doorstep, people will let you go and kiss by name, are you willing to give a word!"
"Yuzhu, is this kind of thing something I can control? People need me by name, even if I don't agree, what can I do, instead of being locked in the palace for the rest of my life, it is better to go to the south to see Yuling. Yushu put down the brush in his hand and walked to the window, looking at the bleak scenery outside the window, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. The saddest thing about this shijie is that she has no way to control her own fate, and Yushu is like this now, although she is the princess of the empire, she doesn't even have the right to decide her own happiness.
The children of the royal family are born to be traded, and Yushu knew from the first day that he was a commodity, a commodity that could be sacrificed for royal etiquette at any time, especially after seeing that his sisters had married people he didn't like, and his father had to woo him. In particular, the marriage of his sister Yuling had a greater impact on Yushu, which is also one of the reasons why Weishenme Yushu has not married for so many years, because she is resisting. But this time she wasn't going to resist, she was tired. She wants to leave the empire and go south to find her sister.
"Princess, I heard that this time it was the emperor's brother in the south, Prince Yu Liu Fan. Yuzhu whispered in Yushu's ear: "But the king agreed, when I first came, the hall was already noisy, it seems that the officials in the court are not very optimistic about this harmony, what do you say Tianlong Empire just wants to exchange a message for a promise for the empire, a princess." I also heard them say that the battle between the immortals and the immortals seemed to be very serious, and now Yumei and Yulan are still eavesdropping there, and when I first came, I met the envoy of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and they seemed to be discussing this matter. ”
"Little girl, I think you're tempted, right?" Yushu saw Yuzhu's flushed face and suddenly hahadaxiao said, Yuzhu seemed to be hit by Yushu's heart, and suddenly his face turned red, Yushu smiled and said to Yuzhu: "Okay, I still don't know your mind, if you fancy someone, just tell me, I'll go and talk to him." Which one do you think you have your eye on?"
"Oh, my Royal Highness the princess, we are discussing your marriage now, don't divert the topic, now the hall is discussing, the princess will quickly go to the hall to stop it if he disagrees, once this matter is settled, there is no room to return." Yuzhu looked at Yushu with a worried face and said, her princess is good at everything, but she is not willing to fight for anything, if she is really married to the south this time, the two sides are enemies of life and death, once the two sides fight on the border one day, then Yushu will definitely be implicated, they don't want to watch their princess be implicated in an innocent war.
"Yuzhu, if I can really decide my own fate later, I won't be trapped in this palace now, all this is fate, since we can't resist it, let's accept it. ”
"But princess, we don't know anything about the situation in the south, in case you marry in the south and are implicated in the war, wouldn't it?" Yuzhu's face changed, very ugly, it was obvious that she didn't want to think about the situation very badly, but in fact, this situation is not a minority, especially people like Yushu who don't know how to fight, once they encounter something, they will only be so obedient and don't know how to resist, the relationship between your Tianlong Empire and the Lion Empire, it must be normal for the two sides to fight on the border. Princess Yuling is just married to a general in the south, so even if the two sides fight, Princess Yuling will not be implicated much, and Yushu is married to the emperor of the south, once the war between the two sides resumes, there is almost no need to think about it, Yushu will definitely be implicated.
"Yuzhu, I don't have any nostalgia for this country, if I can leave, I will definitely leave, this time no matter what their decision is, I will accept it. Yu Shu looked at his sister lightly and said: "If my marriage can decide the lives of millions of soldiers on both sides, I am willing to accept this marriage, even if this peace can only last for a year, I am willing, I really don't want the two sides to have a large-scale war because of the land struggle, this shijie needs peace, we also need peace, I don't want to watch the people of the empire die because of the war." ”
"Princess, princess, something is wrong, they have decided. Yushu's voice hadn't fallen for long. Yulan shouted and rushed in, and said to Yushu with an anxious face, "Princess." King Bixia has agreed to the marriage. I heard that it is a state of brothers, I seem to have heard of a state of father and son, anyway, I know that the princess is going to be married to the south, to marry the young talent Liu Fan who is rapidly rising in the Tianlong Empire. ”
"This Liu Fan is a member of the royal family, Prince Li of the Tianlong Empire who broke through the Lion City back then is his grandfather, he has sprung up from the south over the years, and has fought more than 100 battles with his soldiers, but he has never heard of him being soft on anyone. This time he will take the initiative to come and ask for a marriage, could it be that the human immortal war has really begun?" Yu Shu's face was very ugly, she knew the real horror of the human immortal war, such a war was simply not something that a country in their lion empire could bear. I also have a little understanding of Liu Fan Yushu, this is a complete hawk, everything is decided by strength, the Lion Empire still occupies a large territory of the Tianlong Empire, especially they still have the revenge of killing their father, if they are not forced to have no way, Yushu believes that Liu Fan will not ask for assistance like the Lion Empire anyway.
"Princess. This is not the point, the point is that those people have already decided. Three days later, I took the princess to the south, I heard that this time we were stationed in Yanmen Pass a generation of army will cooperate with their Shenwu army to fight, in one fell swoop to pacify their north, there seems to be some demons and barbarians, as well as the sea tribe, I just don't know the specifics, I heard that they are going to send the princess away in three days, I was very anxious to rush over. The more Yulan talked, the more chaotic it became, Zuihou simply didn't even know what to say, Zuihou simply didn't say anything, just looked at his princess anxiously.
"I see. Yushu nodded lightly, looked at his maids and said: "This time I am going to marry to the south, after I get married, I will ask my father to pardon you all and send you out of the palace, you can find a good family to marry outside." You are all my good sisters, and I will definitely let people arrange for you. ”
"Princess, princess, I'm back. Yumei also ran in at this time in a hurry, panting and said to everyone: "Princess, I have gone to inquire about all the situation, this time the envoy they came is called Su Qin, and the two guards who came with him are Guo Jing and Yang Guo, the first-class guards with knives in the southern imperial front. This time they have come to seek a strike with our country, and they are also asking our army to help them quell the rebels in the north of their empire, I heard that it is Dong Zhuo and the people of the Bloodline Legion. ”
"But this time they obviously didn't come sincerely enough, and they didn't bring any bride price, originally my king was very angry and didn't want to agree, but that Su Qin stubbornly made everyone clear with his three-inch clever tongue. But the most important news I heard this time is the battle of the immortals, I heard that the generals of the Shenwu Army have fought a battle with these immortals, and they have killed a lot of people, and they also sent a few heads to our king, I heard that it is these immortals. "What Yumei said is not wrong at all, those heads are indeed the immortals who were killed by Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, originally these corpses were to be taken away by the people of the Immortal League, and I don't know what the people of the Immortal League did not choose to take away these corpses in the end, these corpses were also used by Liu Fan, and now these corpses have appeared in front of King Arthur.
"Yumei, are you sure you haven't heard of it?Is it really a human immortal war?" Yushu's face instantly became very pale, and Yumei nodded heavily and finally let Yushu understand everything, the reason why Liu Fan wanted to do it was because of the human immortal war. This kind of battle, which surpasses the limits of humanity itself, is destined to be participated in by only a few people, and these people, whether it is the Celestial Dragon Empire or the Lion Empire, are more than a country can afford. Liu Fan came to ask for marriage this time, obviously he also understood that he couldn't fight against these people by himself, and this time no matter what kind of request the Lion Empire put forward, I'm afraid Liu Fan would agree.
"Princess, is it rare that you really marry to the south willingly?" Yuju stood there and asked softly without speaking, everyone's eyes were red, they were going to part in three days, maybe they would never see each other again after parting.
"Well, I have no other choice, this is related to the fate of the entire human race, if I guessed correctly, the war on the side of the Celestial Dragon Empire is far from being as simple as we see on the surface, and the true ruler of the Celestial Dragon Empire is definitely not a figure that we can see through from the surface. ”
"But princess, no matter what, there will definitely be another battle between us after this war is over, how should you deal with yourself at that time?"
"Take it one step at a time, and maybe I won't be able to live to see the end of the whole war. Yushu's tone was full of sadness, and Yushu glanced at Yuzhu lightly and said, "Yuzhu, can you help me make an appointment with the envoy of the Heavenly Dragon Empire." ”
"I only know Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I'll go find them. Yuzhu nodded and walked out with a solemn face.
"It seems that the queen mother is right, this is fate. (To be continued......)
