Long Hu stood in the reception room of the Black Turtle family, while Elders Long Qi and Long Yuan stood beside her.
If it had been a few years ago, if she had dared to appear here, she would have been immediately captured by the black turtle monks and sent to Canglong to deepen the relationship between the two clans.
But now, the situation of the Black Turtle clan has deteriorated greatly compared to a few years ago, so there is no urgent need to be on good terms with Canglong.
Longhu waited in the living room for a while, and soon someone came out of the inner room.
It is none other than the clan leader Gui Yan and the Black Turtle Ancestor.
Longhu was a little surprised. In her original expectation, the patriarch Gui Yan would definitely come out to receive her, but logically she should not alarm her ancestors.
However, she quickly calmed down and saluted lightly:
"It's my ancestor who came to greet me. I'm so honored."
"No gift." Ancestor Xuangui waved his hand, "Longhu, you have been missing for so many years, and now you suddenly come to my Beizhou, but is there anything important?"
The implication is that if you have something important to talk about quickly, if not... then we will do whatever we need to do.
Longhu smiled slightly and said:
"I heard that my old ally has been having a hard time recently, so I came here to express my condolences."
Hearing this answer, both of them felt slightly unhappy.
Once upon a time, Xuanwu had always been a close ally of the Qilin clan.
It's a pity that after Qi Weihuan died, the Xuanwu clan made a wrong bet. Now Qi Weihong is about to be completely eliminated from this power struggle. Even if the Xuanwu clan turns around and chooses to surrender, it is impossible for the Xuanwu clan to restore the close relationship with the Qilin clan like before.
.
This phrase "old ally" really touches my heart.
However, neither the Guiyan clan leader nor the Black Turtle ancestor were impatient people, and they soon realized that there was a problem with this title.
Old allies? Whose old allies?
The Qilin clan is indeed an old ally with the Black Turtle clan, but you, Longhu, are not a Qilin, so how can you be called an "ally"?
When they again noticed Long Qi and Long Yuan next to them, as well as the forces behind them, some extremely ridiculous emotions emerged from the hearts of the clan leader and ancestor.
Could it be...a dragon?
If it is a dragon, then it can indeed be regarded as an old ally - even earlier than the Qilin clan formed an alliance.
If Emperor Yinglong had not fallen into the human world and the Jiaolong clan had made misguided moves, Black Turtle and Jiaolong might have maintained an alliance to this day.
It's a pity that it was precisely because the Xuangui clan defected at the critical moment that the Jiaolong royal family lost the ability to prevent Qilin's infiltration, and ultimately lost the imperial power passed down from generation to generation, as well as Zhongzhou, which the family relied on for survival.
Thinking of this, the clan leader Gui Yan quickly glanced at the Black Turtle Ancestor.
If Longhu and the two dragon monks were subdued and sent to the imperial capital, would they be able to rebuild their old relationship with the Qilin clan?
Ancestor Xuangui did not respond, but just thought about it silently.
He understood why Gui Yan had such thoughts: it depended on the betrayer's subconscious guilt when meeting the victim, and the subsequent subconscious thought of "just don't do it".
However, capturing Dragon Fox and other dragon monks and offering them to Qilin is a faint move among the faintest moves.
First of all, due to the struggle for political power and successors, the hatred between the two clans is too great and cannot be made up by a few remaining dragons.
Secondly, what would Canglong think if they knew about this?
After capturing the dragon fox, he immediately handed it over to Qilin. Our Canglong is not worthy of your Black Turtle consideration, right?
It’s true that it offended Canglong and couldn’t sell it to Qilin.
After all, Gui Yan was also the clan leader. He soon realized his mistake and then looked east again.
That means, how about going to the Canglong clan?
Ancestor Xuangui shook his head.
After Long Long disappeared, after this period of time, everyone has basically seen clearly the diplomatic nature of the Canglong clan.
To put it nicely, it means they are only willing to stand on the side of the winner; to put it harshly, they are just a faggot.
There is no point in engaging in diplomacy with the Canglong clan, offering help in times of need or adding icing on the cake. They will only enter the scene when the overall situation is decided or they have no other choice.
The quick exchange of glances between the two people naturally failed to hide this from Long Hu and the others.
Both Long Qi and Long Yuan became nervous, but Long Hu didn't feel any strange at all and just waited very politely.
Of course she knew that she was a very important bargaining chip, but now among the various princes in the Eastern Emperor Realm, no one was able to pay the price for her bargaining chip.
"That's right." The Black Turtle Ancestor finally said, "Our Black Turtle clan and your Jiaolong clan were once close allies."
"However, the general trend of the world is like a rolling torrent that cannot be resisted by the power of one clan. If our clan had adhered to the covenant and assisted your clan at any cost in the past, the Qilin clan may not have been able to successfully take over Zhongzhou, but Jiaolong still cannot retain the imperial power.
It’s just a matter of competition in the world.”
"That's natural." Longhu smiled slightly and said, "The past sin of the Jiaolong clan was that they were not worthy of their moral integrity after losing the emperor. They themselves could not defend Zhongzhou, so why should they harshly accuse their allies of breaking the covenant?"
"If I were the emperor in the past, wouldn't it be better if I transferred Zhongzhou to Zhuniao, returned the entire clan to Beiming Fanyang, and strengthened the alliance with your clan?"
Ancestor Xuangui was silent for a long time and said with a smile:
"good."
The patriarch, Gui Yan, said nothing at the side and continued to go along with what Long Hu said. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became - what a vicious plan!
If Zhongzhou is sold to Zhuniao, not to mention the Qilin clan, White Tiger and Canglong will definitely not sit back and watch Nanzhou dominate. Zhongzhou, as a key place for the four battles, will inevitably cause a bloody storm and involve three major princes at the same time.
.
In this case, who has the energy to stop the dragon from heading north?
Especially the Qilin clan at that time, holding the Jiaolong Prince in their hands, was like calling on the world to say "Zhongzhou belongs to me", and they would inevitably face the pressure of the three major princes!
As long as the Jiaolong clan returns to Beiming Fanyang in full force, then Beizhou will be dominated by two heroes... Of course, the Xuanwu clan has an alliance. As long as the Jiaolong clan is still strong, Xuangui will definitely not betray without reason.
Create a powerful enemy for your family.
Of course, there are no what-ifs in reality. No one in the Jiaolong clan in history could think of the heroic act of "abandoning Zhongzhou", so they were swallowed by the Qilin Whale in the end, and the matter was settled.
Thinking of this, Gui Yan looked at Long Hu with a much more solemn look.
This girl has the legacy of her father! She should not be underestimated!
The Black Turtle Ancestor was silent for a long time, and his squinted eyes suddenly opened, and a deep light flashed through them:
"Longhu, let me ask you."
"How confident are you if our clan sends you back to Dongzhou?"
Gui Yan was startled when he heard this. Before he could react, Long Hu said calmly:
"Three points, five points, nine points."
"Oh?" Ancestor Xuangui said slowly, "I would like to hear the details."
"If Beizhou just sends me to Dongzhou and says that Longhu has important matters to discuss with Canglong, then there is a three-point certainty." Longhu replied.
"If Beizhou is willing to form an alliance with Beiming Fanyang, return to the good relationship of brothers, and then send me to Dongzhou as an ally, then there will be a five-point certainty."
"But if Beizhou is not only willing to form an alliance, but is also willing to use me as the leader, follow my orders, and let me lead the Beizhou envoy to Dongzhou, then we will be 90% sure!"
Gui Yan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. Before he could speak, he heard the Black Turtle Ancestor slam his crutch on the ground and burst into laughter:
"How brave! You are worthy of being the emperor's daughter. You really have the legacy of your father!"
"If you are really determined to be ambitious, then what's the harm in this Xuanwu Alliance being led by your dragon?"
