Longhu was already gritting his teeth in his heart, but he knew that he could not blame the tribe for this matter. He could only remain silent and act dull.
The clan leader Qin Beiwang and the two elders also saw that Longhu was very unhappy, so they all comforted her, claiming that the clan would not force the two to make sacrifices, but now the Kirin is powerful and it is difficult to directly push.
Reject and so on.
The dragon fox couldn't hear that this was a delaying plan, and he suddenly felt even more depressed.
Longlong initially heard from Qin Beiwang that Qilin wanted to betroth Qi Yingzhu to him as his wife, and he still felt a little nervous and uneasy - the female fox can, the female dragon is not bad, is this tigress a little too much
?
However, years of career as a lurking traitor has long developed Long Long's character of being meticulous.
The so-called "take one step, think two steps, look at three steps, and take every step", describes Long Long's cautious and witty personality to the fullest.
He just passed the information and the corresponding situation in his mind, and immediately felt something was wrong.
After thinking about it again, my mind suddenly became enlightened, and I suddenly shouted a few bad things, and said seriously:
"Class leader, please take your left and right away."
Qin Beiwang was stunned for a moment. There were only us in the hall, so why should we hold back?
However, he quickly reacted and gave a wink to the great elder Qin Chaocang.
Qin Chaocang quickly used his magic, and the dragon's power spread in all directions.
"There is no one on the left and right." After a moment, the Great Elder confirmed, "You can say it."
"I have something unknown to me. I want to ask the three seniors." Long Long asked slowly, "Now that Qilin clan leader and demon emperor Qi Weihuan have fallen, there are two people who can succeed him, one is his illegitimate son, and the other is him
My younger brother Qi Weihong, are you right?”
"That's right." Qin Beiwang said.
"What is the attitude of the ancestor Qilin?" Long Long asked again.
Qin Beiwang was suddenly a little disappointed, that's it?
Even the political situation of the Qilin family is not clear. Do you listen to your usual political classes?
However, he soon realized the problem: Longlong’s usual political class, his grades are the best in the class! How could he not know this?
It's just an inducing question!
So Qin Beiwang showed an encouraging expression and followed him:
"The Qilin Ancestor, I will never let Qi Weihong succeed to the throne."
"Why is this?" Long Long asked calmly, but there was no sign of asking for advice on his face.
The great elder Qin Chaocang glanced at the thoughtful dragon fox next to him and explained:
"Because Qi Weihong excessively borrowed the power of the Xuanwu clan when he was fighting for the throne with Qi Weihuan, his basic power base is almost completely overlapping with the power of the Xuanwu clan."
"Inducing foreign races to participate in family civil wars is a taboo for any demon race, so the Qilin ancestor has long been deeply disgusted with Qi Weihong."
Long Long certainly knew these basic political common sense very well. It is said that in order to fight for the throne in his early years, Qi Weihong not only married the Xuanwu clan, but also signed many deeply bound treaties in private.
So even the neutral factions within the Qilin clan could not stand it, and despised the Qilin Prince as the "Son-in-law of the Gui family". Many elders clearly expressed their support for Qi Weihuan at the last moment, and finally successfully pushed him to the position of the patriarch and emperor.
——It is because Qi Weihong pursued too much strength and even wanted to sacrifice family interests in turn, which made many racist Qilins feel disappointed at him.
"Since that's the case," Long Long asked again, "Why didn't Qilin's ancestor kill Qi Weihong, but let him continue to stay in Beizhou?"
"Of course it is because of the strong protection of the Xuanwu Ancestor." Qin Beiwang replied.
In terms of the overall strength of the Immortal Level, the Qilin clan is stronger than other demon clans in the Eastern Emperor Realm, otherwise he would not be able to firmly sit in the royal clan.
But the problem is that if Qilin and Xuanwu tribes use the immortal rank to fight each other, the ones who make the final profit will inevitably be the other demon tribes - naturally no one will be so stupid that they will break up and fight to the death.
Therefore, unless you can completely take over the other party's strength, everyone would rather use the Immortal Level as a nuclear weapon to deter the conflicts, and use negotiations, mediation or agent wars to resolve conflicts, which also constitutes a very unique politics in the Eastern Emperor Realm.
Ecological environment.
"In other words, Qi Weihong has the strength to protect the Xuanwu clan. The Qilin ancestor does not want to break up with Xuanwu, so he temporarily tolerate his existence. However, he must not accept the Xuanwu clan's use of Qi Weihong's hand to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qilin clan."
Long finally concluded, and saw the three dragon clan elders nodding and asked again:
"Since that's the case, then who will Qilin Ancestor choose to replace Qi Weihong to inherit the throne?"
"Of course it's that illegitimate child." Longhu finally couldn't help but answer.
She really doesn't like Long Long's intentional concealment, and she obviously doesn't say it intentionally even though she has the answer.
"Oh?" Long Long asked again without comment, "But if he stood on the side of his illegitimate son, wouldn't he attract the queen's mother clan's power? Could it be that the White Tiger clan is better to deal with than the Xuanwu clan?"
"That's because the two are essentially different." Qin Beiwang explained, "Qi Weihong is already highly bound to the Xuanwu clan, and the two are almost inseparable."
"The illegitimate son is not the queen's biological son, and they are much weaker in terms of bloodline and relationship. The Qilin ancestor has plenty of time to pull Qi Weihuan's illegitimate son to the Qilin clan."
"The queen's recognition of the illegitimate son is also a supplement to his weak legal rationality. The support of the White Tiger clan behind him can also help the Qilin clan resist the interference of the Xuanwu clan, so they can actually cooperate with each other."
Speaking of this, Qin Beiwang smiled and said to Longlong:
"Do you think what I said is right?"
Longlong was speechless. It was clearly something that could be explained clearly by "the weak White Tiger can be an alliance, but the strong Xuanwu cannot make peace." But he had to waste time with so many words... So he said with a smile:
"The clan leader is wise and has a sharp eye."
"It's just that there is another question for the younger generation: If the ancestor Qilin chooses to support the queen's illegitimate son and reaches an interest alliance with the White Tiger clan, can the Xuanwu clan compete with it?"
Qin Beiwang and the two elders immediately began to think deeply.
"No." The great elder Qin Chaocang took the lead in making a judgment, "The Qilin ancestor is used to deter him. It is estimated that the power to support the illegitimate son will be greater than the power to oppose him. In addition, the strength of the White Tiger clan supports him, and it will be absolutely true to the Xuanwu clan.
Advantages.”
"So, what will the Xuanwu clan respond after learning that the Qilin ancestor made a decision?" Long Long continued to induce and asked, "Will he give up Prince Qi Weihong and seek peace?"
"It's impossible!" Qin Beiwang said without hesitation, "The Xuanwu clan has invested too much political cost in Qi Weihong. If he abandons Qi Weihong this time and seeks peace, it will be a waste of all his previous efforts!"
"In addition, if the power falls to the Queen's illegitimate faction, even if the Xuanwu clan acknowledges the status quo due to the strength of the opposite camp, then the benefits they gained from the alliance between the Qilin clan will be forced to be handed to the Baihu clan!
”
The other two dragon elders followed Qin Beiwang's words and thoughts and suddenly thought of the key points that they had been overlooked:
In fact, when Emperor Qi Weihuan was in power, the political situation in the Eastern Emperor Realm maintained a very stable situation.
He hated his wife Lu Ya, but tolerated her to stay by his side; he hated his younger brother Qi Weihong, but allowed him to be free and easy in Beizhou.
This led to the White Tiger Clan and the Xuanwu Clan restraining each other, and neither of them could bear the price of pushing the Qilin Clan to the opposite side, so they had to maintain a long and stable alliance with the Qilin Clan, allowing Qi Weihuan to calmly intimidate the Dragon Clan of Dongzhou and to Nanzhou.
The Xuanniao clan used troops and finally achieved strong rule over the entire Eastern Emperor Realm.
However, the stupidity of Queen Lu Ya, as well as Qi Weihuan's carelessness and sudden death, led to the complete breaking of this balanced situation.
Driven by huge expected benefits, early sunk costs, and speculative and adventurousism (based on past long-term peace and the desire of all races to gain more benefits), the White Tiger and Xuanwu clans will inevitably support themselves within the Qilin clan.
Spokesperson.
In other words, this is no longer a struggle for the heirs of the Qilin clan. It is very likely that the agent war presided over by Xizhou and Beizhou, or even a prelude to a total war!
Thinking of this, the three dragon elders looked at Longlong at the same time.
The expressions on their faces this time were no longer the kind expressions of "I said right" that they originally taught the younger generation, but a serious expression that needed him to confirm immediately.
