"Let's talk about the Xuangui clan first." Qin Beiwang said in a deep voice, "Do you know what conditions they offered?"
Long Long thought for a moment:
"Qi Weihong's promise?"
"That's right." Qin Beiwang said with a sneer, "Qi Weihong promised to share a series of powers with the Dragon Clan after he ascended the throne, and made a huge list."
"The elders and I reviewed the list and thought that if it could be fully realized, it would be very attractive to the Dragon Clan."
"The premise is that it can be fully fulfilled." Long Long said calmly, "Isn't there the benefit of being able to pay immediately after signing the covenant?"
"Yes." Qin Beiwang said concisely, "For example, some trade conditions, intelligence sharing, and resource development rights, but compared to the overall situation, they hardly account for much."
"The Xuangui clan is not sincere." Long Long immediately made a judgment, "We have no coercive power to restrain Qi Weihong from fulfilling his promise after he ascends the throne. If the benefits are not something that can be paid immediately, there is no meaning."
"Ancestor means the same thing." Qin Beiwang sighed and said, "Currently we are putting pressure on Gui Yan. The other party is very hesitant and keeps making concessions on specific conditions. But as mentioned before, he has never given much.
Benefits that can be paid immediately.”
"This is quite strange." Long Long frowned and said, "From the current political situation, the Xuanwu Clan does not have the ability to fight against Qilin and White Tiger at the same time. The alliance between the Dragon Clan is what they must get... But this is different from the Xuanwu Clan.
The prices currently being offered are completely different.”
He sorted out the current information in his mind and said:
"There are several possibilities."
"First, the Xuanwu clan cannot pay these prices."
"Is this possible?" Qin Beiwang asked curiously, "The conditions they have offered so far are far from the upper limit of what they can pay."
"It's really unlikely." Long Long replied, "Unless Qi Weihong has a different idea."
"What do you mean?" Qin Beiwang asked with a frown.
"False promises may be useful to the small demon clan, because they don't have enough talents who understand politics, but this kind of verbal guarantee will certainly not confuse our dragon clan." Long Long thought about the guess and said, "I can only say, unless Xuan Xuan
The Turtles treat us with excessive contempt, otherwise they would be unlikely to negotiate with us like this - they know that bluffing will only anger us."
"What you mean is that Qi Weihong and the Black Turtle Clan have a disagreement." Qin Beiwang understood immediately, "This Qilin Prince is so talented and ambitious that he doesn't think we need to take our Dragon Clan seriously, and forcefully demands that the Black Turtle Clan listen to him?"
"Or to be more precise, this Qilin Prince Qi Weihong has quite a big opinion on me... well, on my saving the little emperor from the assassins in the imperial capital." Long Long guessed euphemistically.
"If that's the case, then Qi Weihong is really motivated." Qin Beiwang shook his head, "But sometimes, we always have to succumb to such unreasonable big shots. What's the second possibility?"
"The second possibility is that the Black Turtle clan has secretly reached an alliance agreement with the Zhuniao clan." Long Long replied.
"We can reach an agreement by crossing over, right?" Qin Beiwang frowned and said, "But without Dongzhou as a hub, what can they do even if they form an alliance?"
"That's right." Long Long said thoughtfully, "But let's skip this step and think about what they will do next if they form an alliance?"
"If we form an alliance..." Qin Beiwang followed his train of thought and thought, "It is still indispensable for our Dongzhou to join us, otherwise the northern and southern states will be separated and unable to be bonded together, so their common purpose is to unite us.
Pull Dongzhou into the alliance."
"But if the two have reached an alliance, we won't be able to wait and sell." Long Long reminded.
"Well." Qin Beiwang made a sound of sudden realization, "That's it! This also explains why the Xuanwu clan's asking price is so low, because they have long colluded with Zhuniao and cannot offer a higher bid.
Already."
"Let's talk about these two possibilities." Seeing that the clan leader had completely followed his own thinking, Long Long said eloquently, "The first possibility means that the real resistance comes from Qi Weihong, not the Xuanwu clan.
"
"This situation is worse, because Qi Weihong does not have many connections with us. In other words, his impression of the Dragon Clan is unlikely to be changed. Therefore, in this case, we must not form an alliance with the Xuanwu Clan... More accurately
He said that Qi Weihong must not be allowed to ascend the throne."
"Yes, that's the truth." Qin Beiwang expressed great agreement.
How much trouble can an emperor who is biased against a certain prince bring to this prince? If nothing else, just look at everything Qi Weihuan did to Nanzhou during his reign!
Even after Qi Weihuan died, Zhu Niao refused to compromise with Qilin, so much so that it even turned into an all-out hatred between the Yu Clan and the Horn Clan. This was the huge trouble an emperor could bring.
It may be very difficult for the demon emperor of the Eastern Emperor Realm to do great things, but it is simply too easy to disgust the princes.
"But if it's the second possibility, it's not too bad for us." Long Long continued to explain the reasoning, "It's just that the buyers are colluding together and can't raise the price."
"Yes." Qin Beiwang said that he fully understood, "We originally wanted to choose between neutrality and alliance Xuanwu to see who offered the higher price, but now we don't have to choose, that's fine."
"Actually, there is a third possibility." Long Long reminded him tactfully, "If the price offered by Qilin is high enough, it is not impossible..."
Qin Beiwang was a little surprised, because judging from the treatment Long Long received in the imperial capital, he thought Long Long was the most opposed to cooperation with Qilin.
Very good, he is indeed the most intelligent talent of our dragon generation!
"Ahem, Long Long, you said it very well. Now the clan has a task for you." Qin Beiwang thought for a while, thinking that he still had to find out the information about Xuanwu and Zhuniao clearly, otherwise the analysis would be random in the end.
Guessing has no operational meaning, "Aren't you very familiar with Gui Ling'er of the Black Turtle clan and His Highness Feng Yan of the Zhuniao clan?"
"Go and build a good relationship with them, and then find out whether they have reached a secret alliance, and what Qi Weihong's attitude is towards our dragon clan, go ahead!"
Long Long:………………
Why did I shoot myself in the foot again?
Damn it, if I had known that the patriarch would ask me "What do you think", I would have said "Ah, yes, yes"!
He could only leave the auditorium dejectedly. Just as he was thinking about how to get information from Gui Ling'er and Feng Yan while protecting himself from being eaten, he suddenly saw Dragon Fox running over excitedly.
"Long Long!" She rushed over and hugged Long Long's arm, saying in shock, "I heard from people outside that Feng Yan offered a huge price to the Dragon Clan, asking you to marry into their Yu Clan. This matter
Is it true?"
Long Long's eyes rolled, and he had a plan in mind, and he whispered to Long Hu:
"The clan leader wanted to find out whether the Zhuniao clan had a secret alliance with the Xuanwu clan, so he asked me to go to Quyi to meet His Highness Feng Yan and Gui Ling'er and try to trick them."
"But, but!" Longhu was so anxious that he almost shed tears, "Then Feng Yan obviously has evil intentions towards you, and the clan leader still wants you to lie, isn't it like a snake has fallen into the mouth of an eagle?"
"No! Let me do this, you are not allowed to go!"

I arrived in Shenzhen in the afternoon, and they showed me the reason for the ban. They said that someone posted a picture, which was very snake-like and had to be blocked. When I looked at the chat history, it was incredible. How dare you post such a picture? Are you going to die?
How shameful! You posted it without telling me, and now the group has been bombarded. I won’t name who posted it here. Anyway, the book friend knows it in his mind. I advise you to go to the three groups to review and admit your mistake to everyone, and don’t wait for follow-up.
