Daliang, Daqi, Xiqi, Dazhao, Dayuan, Dachen, and Dayue are currently the seven most powerful countries among the sixteen kingdoms, and Daliang is the most respected.
Originally there were sixteen kingdoms, but later nine kingdoms were destroyed. Eight of them split into dozens of small kingdoms, while the ninth kingdom split into the Qingyang Three Kingdoms headed by Qingmiao.
The current Qingmiao Kingdom has inherited most of the territory, various inheritances, methods, and a large number of weapons and troops from the former Qingyang Kingdom, so it is the strongest party.
But no one thought that the ambition of the Qingmiao Kingdom would be so huge that it actually wanted to become the eighth great country.
"They must be crazy. With the current national strength of the Qingmiao Kingdom, it is impossible to destroy the other two countries. After all, those two countries have always had good relations with the Liang Kingdom. The purpose is to prevent the annexation of the Qingmiao Kingdom."
"With the Daliang Kingdom as a check, the Qingmiao Kingdom will not be able to destroy the other Qingyang Kingdoms, let alone complete the unification."
"So now they want to force the Longhou Kingdom to bow down and then reach a cooperation agreement... If I guess correctly, the Qingmiao Kingdom and many city-states, forces, and princes under the Qing Royal Family have reached an alliance, right?"
Jiang Ming interrupted Liu Sheng's words. The latter was startled for a moment, then reacted and slapped his head violently.
"If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten this. Yes, they have already contacted a large number of forces with the purpose of completing the entire unification."
"But no one has ever thought that the Qingmiao Kingdom would use this method to force the Longhou Kingdom. I'm afraid their goal is not only to complete the unification of the original Qingyang Kingdom's territory, but also to go one step further!"
After Jiang Ming's reminder, Liu Sheng quickly figured out the reason and immediately exclaimed, "They want to use troops against the Qingyang Kingdom, and after completing the unification, they want to use troops against the Longhou Kingdom?"
"Yes, that should be their purpose, and I am just their pawn. Otherwise, how would these guys who only care about interests really get lost in love?"
Jiang Ming sneered. He was a fox who had lived for hundreds of years. How could he fall in love so easily, let alone the daughter of the royal court.
Such princesses, princes, etc., must have been educated for the sake of royal power and hegemony since they were young, and would not do anything to offend a powerful sect such as the Lanruo Sect just for a little love.
You must know that the current strength of Lan Ruojiao has gone beyond the Yu Kingdom and has established a strong foundation in the territory of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
Once the Qingmiao Kingdom really wants to touch itself, it will definitely be attacked by Lan Ruojiao.
"Currently, your Lan Ruo Sect controls two or three small countries. Although their combined military strength is not as strong as that of the Qingmiao Kingdom, it is not weak. Once trouble occurs, the Qingmiao Kingdom will be attacked from both sides, so they will not do such stupid things unless there is more
Great benefits await them."
"And this benefit is undoubtedly to force Longhou Kingdom to join this war, and even prepare for taking over Longhou Kingdom later... I don't know if the Qing royal family will find out about this, they probably won't sit idly by and ignore it."
Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows. After all, he was a prince under the Qing royal family and had just been enthroned. The Qing royal family would not let Longhou Kingdom be captured.
But Jiang Ming felt vaguely that something was not right.
"This matter may have something to do with the Qing royal family."
Liu Sheng was startled and fell into deep thought for a long time.
When things have developed to this point, Jiang Ming will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
"An'an, the rest is up to you."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt Brother Ning!"
Zhu Anan's eyes were firm and determined, and he quickly killed several new monitors outside.
At the same time, Jiang Ming led Zhu An'an to the venue of the Longmen Banquet and asked: "Director Liu, didn't you say that I can meet the owner of your inn as long as I come to the banquet?"
"Haha, don't worry, Master Ning. When the boss wants to see you, he will naturally show up. If he hasn't seen you yet, it can only be said that it's not that time yet."
Liu Sheng couldn't help laughing and said, suddenly raising his eyebrows.
"Master Ning, there are a lot of people targeting you. There are several waves of people along the way."
Jiang Ming nodded and said subconsciously: "Almost no one knows about my coming to Longhou Kingdom, unless it's you..."
"No, Leader Ning, please don't misunderstand us. We definitely did not expose your existence!"
Liu Sheng immediately shook his head, "I suspect it is Princess Qingmiao, and how did she know about your existence? There must be some mastermind behind this controlling everything."
Jiang Ming was a little stunned. After thinking about it carefully, what this guy said seemed to be correct, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Let's attend the banquet first. Anyway, these people will take action against me sooner or later."
He knew very well that tonight's Dragon Gate Banquet would definitely not be peaceful, and these people would take action, especially Princess Qingmiao's group.
"Do these people regard me as a pawn? Could it be that the news that I got the Dragon Sword spread out? If so, it makes sense that they would come to deal with me one after another."
Long Qijian is involved in many things, and it is very likely that people from the Warlord Kingdom are also eyeing him.
The banquet started soon.
At the beginning, they basically just ate, drank and chatted, and didn't do much else. As things developed step by step, Jiang Ming quickly froze on the spot because he saw an acquaintance.
"Liu Changqing!"
Jiang Ming stared at Liu Changqing's figure, who also saw him and immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
"Master Ning, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
"Haha, I can't be happy to see you, and I don't know how you can laugh."
Jiang Ming curled up his lips and didn't want to talk to this guy at all.
Liu Changqing was not annoyed, he just laughed and said, "Master Ning, actually you don't need to be so against me. If you really want to count, we are actually friends, right?"
"After all, the common enemy of you, me, and the entire Yu Kingdom sect group has always been the Yu Royal Family."
"Besides, there is no grudge between you and me at all. If you really think about it, it was your junior brother Zhang Shan who killed my brother, but it has nothing to do with you and me."
Jiang Ming secretly wondered what would happen if this guy knew that he was actually Zhang Shan, and he might immediately draw his sword against him.
But now Liu Changqing clearly acted like we were friends, which made Jiang Ming feel a little uncomfortable and said: "Young Master Liu, please step aside. My sexual orientation is very clear, and I don't like men like you..."
…Still an average-looking man.”
Don't like yourself?
Average looking?
Sexual orientation correct?
Liu Changqing's expression suddenly changed and he gritted his teeth.
