Cultivation starts with time management

Driven by huge expected benefits, sunk costs in the early stage, and speculative adventurism (based on the long-term peace in the past, all ethnic groups desire to gain more benefits), both the Baihu and Xuanwu clans will inevitably support themselves in 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 proxy war hosted by Xizhou and Beizhou is even the prelude to an all-out war!

Thinking of this, the three elders of the Dragon Clan looked at Long Long in unison.

This time, the expressions on their faces were no longer the amiable expressions of "I'm right" that they had taught the younger generation, but a serious expression that required his immediate confirmation.

Chapter 78 You, the Patriarch, Are Sloppy

In the hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

If Longhu only thought of the first level "the emperor was killed", then the original patriarch Qin Beiwang and the two elders thought of the second level "heir war is about to break out within Qilin".

It's just a civil war of the Qilin clan, the Canglong clan can naturally maintain a leisurely onlooker posture, and if the timing is right, they can even point and point at the Qilin clan, just like the Xuanwu clan did to Qi Weihong back then.

However, after being reminded by the great wisdom Long Long, they quickly thought of the neglected third layer:

Behind these two heirs, there are Xizhou and Beizhou respectively.

When Qi Weihuan was in power, the Qilin clan formed an alliance with the Xuanwu clan and also married with the Baihu clan, but the overall benefit distribution was still more inclined to the Xuanwu clan.

This is not due to his own likes and dislikes, but a continuation of the policy of the previous generation of Qilin patriarchs - the reason why Qilin can replace Jiaolong is to rely on the alliance and support with the Xuanwu clan, which belongs to the traditional friendship of the Qilin League part.

However, now that the Qilin Patriarch has chosen the queen's illegitimate child camp, the strength of the White Tiger Qilin Alliance has surpassed that of Xuanwu.

From the perspective of the White Tiger Clan, it is an inevitable choice to defend the queen's legal rationality and support the illegitimate child's supremacy.

Because the benefits in this are too huge, as long as the final victory can be achieved, even if it is to swallow up all the interests of the Xuanwu clan in the Zhongzhou royal court, it is not impossible.

From the perspective of the Xuanwu clan, the loss due to defeat is also too huge, so that the possibility of surrendering without a fight is almost zero.

The two sides will inevitably end up wrestling!This is not a civil war of the Qilin family at all!

"This junior is dull, and I want to confirm with the three seniors again." Long Long continued in a deep voice, "Now, the alliance between Qilin Patriarch and Baihu Clan, or the camp of Xuanwu Clan and Qi Weihong, which side is stronger?"

"Of course it's the White Tiger Clan." Qin Beiwang replied without hesitation.

Although Empress Lu Ya has a negative reputation within the Qilin clan, it is offset by the positive prestige of the Qilin ancestors. In addition, Qi Weihong has been "on mission" to Beizhou all the year round, so her reputation in the clan is not very good. Most of them support the White Tiger Clan.

The strength of Baihu and Xuanwu's immortal level is not much different, and the internal team of the Qilin clan is the key weight to determine the final victory or defeat.

"Then, wouldn't Xuanwu think of this?" Long Long asked without stopping, "If the patriarch is the ancestor of Xuanwu, how would he respond?"

With this shout, it was as if lightning flashed across the night sky, pulling Qin Beiwang's train of thought to the depths again.

Could the Xuanwu clan not think of this?impossible.

The patriarch of Qilin chose to support the illegitimate child, but at the same time he made the assassination matter tough, making it clear that he was afraid of Qi Weihong's relationship with the Xuanwu clan being too deep, so he finally chose to side with the queen and deepened his alliance with the Baihu clan.

The balance of power was broken, and Qilin had to choose one of the two, and there was no other option - considering the interests of the clan, of course it was to choose the weaker one, rather than being dominated or even swallowed by the stronger one.

Then, when the Xuanwu clan found themselves at a disadvantage, what would they do?

Qin Beiwang had an answer almost immediately:

Of course it is to find foreign aid from the sidelines!

"Based on what you've seen, will the Xuanwu clan find us or the Yu clan for an alliance?" Qin Beiwang lowered his voice and asked quickly.

The two elders next to him also gave serious and inquiring glances, as if they no longer treated Long Long as a junior, but communicated as a decision-maker who could decide major events in the clan.

Long Long's answer was also quick, because he knew that the three elders of the Dragon Clan had already become nervous, and if he continued to play tricks, he would definitely make the other party displeased:

"Patriarch, in the eyes of the Xuanwu clan, where does our dragon clan speak?"

"Of course it's in the imperial capital." Qin Beiwang was stunned for a moment before replying.

As the head of the patriarch, I have not made any huge political mistakes. I must still be the one who is responsible for the Canglong clan, not the Canglong patriarch who stayed behind in Dongzhou—the patriarch would have unconditionally supported my decision!

"The Xuanwu clan at this time, is there a way to confirm whether we have already voted for the opposite camp?" Long Long asked quickly again.

"No way." Qin Beiwang also answered quickly.

If the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Ancestor reached an agreement in private, even if the Xuanwu Clan wanted to learn the news through careful work, it would be impossible for the Xuanwu Clan to get the information on the same day.

"Then, if the patriarch is the Patriarch of Xuanwu." Long Long finally gritted his teeth and said, "Will he choose to continue to find out the current position of the Dragon Clan, or go directly to the Nanzhou Yu Clan to form an alliance?"

"I..." Qin Beiwang blurted out, "Of course it's a two-pronged approach, doing both!"

The Nanzhou Yu clan will not compromise with the Zhongzhou royal court. The two sides have long-term war hatred and territorial interest disputes. The Yu clan will definitely not give up the opportunity to attack the Zhongzhou royal court.

Therefore, Xuanwu will definitely contact Nanzhou as soon as possible, and at the same time quickly test Canglong's attitude.

As long as Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird form an alliance, the original strength disadvantage will be quickly leveled, and the two camps can be said to be evenly matched, with little difference.

In other words, the attitude of the last force in the Eastern Emperor Realm, Dongzhou Canglong, will be the key to the balance of war.

Thinking of this, Qin Beiwang and the two elders looked at each other for a moment, and read joy in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Long Long almost vomited blood: How can you be happy?Don't think that you can just watch from the sidelines and benefit from it!

"Patriarch!" He didn't intend to continue to guide his thoughts, he could only remind anxiously, "If even the Nanzhou Yu Clan ends, this is not a local war! It's a full-scale war that affects the entire Eastern Emperor's Realm! "

"The two camps are already so bloated, and the resources invested in the war must be incalculable, so it is absolutely impossible to easily compromise with each other and make peace... If our Dragon Clan remains neutral, how do you think the two camps will react?"

Qin Bei was dumbfounded for a moment, and then broke away from the original thinking path.

Once the two giant camps of Qilin and Baihu, Xuanwu and Zhuniao are formed, the original conservative diplomatic strategy will no longer exist, because they must first tear up and devour all available food around them before the final desperate fight, so as to race against time. Strengthen yourself.

If you choose not to stand in this situation, you will inevitably become a victim between the two camps!

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qin Beiwang asked Long Long anxiously.

Long Long: ...

Two elders: ...

Even Longhu was a little silly, and Qin Beiwang only came back to his senses, and was immediately ashamed.

As the patriarch himself, it's reasonable to listen to the younger generation's advice, so what's the matter with asking the younger generation for advice?What a shame!

It's all my fault that Long Long is so smart that I, the patriarch, trust him so deeply, it's my fault!

Long Long saw the embarrassment on Qin Beiwang's face, and immediately said tactfully:

"The younger generation is dull and dare not speak freely. However, such important matters should be jointly decided by the patriarch and the ancestors."

"That's right!" Qin Beiwang suddenly realized, and then showed the expression of "you are exactly what I thought", and said majesticly, "Very good, Long Long, you are really smart."

"Also, patriarch!" Seeing that Qin Beiwang still had time to build the stairs, Long Long was almost powerless to complain, and hurriedly reminded him, "The urgent matter is that if we continue to stay in the imperial capital, we may have to fight with the Qilin clan. Allied!"

Um?Qin Beiwang's dragon's body trembled again, and he immediately came to his senses.

Everyone is still on the territory of the Qilin clan at this time!If that ancestor Qilin gets ruthless and arrests Long Long for a direct marriage, and then announces to the world that if he doesn't want to form an alliance at that time, he will have to form an alliance!

"No, you have to leave quickly!" He hurriedly said to the two elders.

"That's natural." The two elders were also speechless.

What's the matter with you patriarch?Why was he being directed around by a junior like Long Long?

However, the incident happened too hastily. Long Long was able to disentangle the whole situation in such a short period of time, and then quickly formulate the highest priority matters. Such political vision is indeed amazing.

No matter what, Long Long must be kept and escorted back to Dongzhou smoothly!

Chapter 79 Tit for Tat

Now that he has decided to run away, the corresponding problem comes.

How to run?

What Qin Beiwang meant was that if he left without saying goodbye, it would be clear that he was guilty, and he might be caught up by the Qilin clan halfway.

It's better to pretend to discuss Longlong's marriage with the other party first, delay for a while, numb the vigilance of the Qilin clan, and then find another opportunity to slip away.

Long Long euphemistically expressed his objection to this, Qilin is not stupid, he doesn't care if you go or not, let's first look at you layer by layer.

Now that the Qilin clan has just decided to form an alliance with the White Tiger clan, and Qi Weihuan's funeral needs to be dealt with, it is the most hectic time, and there may be omissions in the arrangement for the Dragon clan.

Wouldn't it be more difficult to get away if I dragged on for a few more days until someone freed me up?

After discussing with the two elders for a while, Qin Beiwang decided to accept Long Long's opinion:

Run today!

"It's just." Qin Beiwang said hesitantly again, "If you leave without saying goodbye, you will end up being blamed. What if the Qilin family framed our family to be involved with the murderer and took the opportunity to hunt us down, so what should we do?"

"Why don't we send envoys to the king's court to meet Qilin Patriarch at the same time as we leave the city, and tell him the reason for our departure. This way, at least in terms of etiquette, there will be no criticism, and there will be no discussion in the future."

"The patriarch's words are old-fashioned, good." The two elders of the dragon clan praised them one after another.

Long Long beside him vomited blood, why are you always thinking about why you didn't say goodbye?

What if we form an alliance with the Qilin clan in the future and leave without saying goodbye?How else can we push our Dragon Clan to the opposite side?

If he formed an alliance with the Xuanwu clan, then the Qilin clan would be enemies, so this farewell is even more unnecessary?

To put it bluntly, it's too embarrassing!

No wonder he was driven to the Eastern Emperor's Realm by the human race...

Now that Qin Beiwang had already made a decision, Long Long naturally couldn't forcefully dissuade him, otherwise it would be tantamount to questioning the authority of the patriarch.

Qin Bei looked this way to arrange his escape, while Long Long took Longhu out of the hall and rested in the small garden outside.

"Long Long." Long Hu whispered beside him, "Do you think we should leave right away?"

"Otherwise?" Facing his own fox, Long Long naturally had no scruples, and said with a sneer, "Since you have decided to run away, you should do whatever you can to achieve this goal. While preparing to run away, he reminded the other party how to return thing?"

"As the master of others, you should be resourceful and decisive. At both ends of the head, you want and want, and in the end you get nothing..."

"Long Long, stop talking!" Long Hu hurriedly covered his mouth, turned his head around nervously, and confirmed that the patriarch and elders were not nearby, then he was cautiously relieved, and said softly:

"Since we are sheltered by the Dragon Clan, we can stay here with peace of mind. I don't want you to take risks either..."

Long Long's thoughts suddenly moved slightly. This fox girl is really changeable. Sometimes she is charming and romantic, and sometimes she is gentle and considerate. It really makes people feel fresh every day.

"You don't want to go to Beiming Youjing?" He gently hugged Longhu and asked gently.

"Mother wants me to go, I still want to go." Longhu snuggled into his arms and said softly, "But there's no need to be in a hurry, right? We've only transformed into our bodies not long ago, and our skills are low, so we left Dongzhou rashly. We still have to go through Beizhou and Beiming Fanyang, there is a high probability that we will be captured by the clan."

"It's better to stay at ease first, and then think about going to Beiming Fanyang when you have enough strength in the future."

Long Long said seriously:

"Don't worry, I won't take any risks, but I never forgot what I promised your mother from the beginning to the end."

This statement is the truth, because Long Long's personality is "persistence", which means that it is impossible for him to abandon the little fox now, and it is impossible for him to give up going to Beiming Fanyang.

It can only be said to accumulate energy on the side of the Dragon Clan first, and run away immediately when the time is right, which can be regarded as a preview for Qiu Changtian, Ling Yunpo, Luo Yan and the others.

Take Longhu to Beiming Fanyang to solve the blood pulse problem on her body. After getting the sky-replenishing stone, it is time to abandon Longlong as a character.

Start the second run directly!

The Eastern Emperor's Realm is too chaotic and primitive, and there are goblins greedy for him at every turn. If he wants to take the initiative to back him up, Long Long doesn't want to stay any longer.

The two were loving each other for a moment, when suddenly they heard the voice of talking from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a dragon guard trot in, and quickly said to Long Long:

"The three highnesses of the Qilin clan are here to visit."

"Who are they?" Long Long was secretly surprised.

At the last moment of the run, don't these guys get in the way!

"Qi Qiao'an, Qi Qiaosong, Qi Yingzhu." The dragon guard quickly replied, "I have to report to the patriarch and leave."

He hurried towards the main hall, while Long Long was stunned for a moment before realizing who these three people were.

Qi Qiaoan, the original Qilin prince, but the actual blood should be of the White Tiger clan.

Qi Yingzhu, the little princess of the Qilin family, is actually a little white tiger in her real body.

Qi Qiaosong, who had never heard of this one before, but was able to come here with the two Highnesses, his identity is self-evident - he must be the illegitimate son of Qi Weihuan and his mistress before his death, and he is also the only descendant who inherited Qi Weihuan's Qilin blood.

What are these three people going to do when they come to my dragon embassy?

"Longlong?" Longhu also felt that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice.

Before Long Long could answer, he heard someone shouting outside:

"A mere guard, dare to block the way here? Get lost!"
