Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 623 The Unexpected Confidante

Feng Yan was a little disappointed at first.

Qin Beiwang didn't understand what she meant at first. This doesn't mean that the patriarch of the Canglong clan is stupid. After all, many smart people can't break through their own thinking patterns, but the Canglong clan obviously has no plans to sit on the sidelines. .

The dragon clan and the feather clan formed an alliance to form a third camp in the southeast to protect themselves. This sounds beautiful, but political wisdom is as keen as a phoenix smoke, and almost immediately saw the fatal flaw:

The foundation of the alliance between the two is very unstable - far less than the other two camps.

Needless to say, the alliance between the Xuanwu camp and Qilin Prince Qi Weihong is almost bound to each other.

If Qi Weihong lost the support of the Xuanwu clan, they would have no strength to fight for the throne; if the Xuanwu clan lost Qi Weihong, they would no longer have any legal reason to interfere with the Zhongzhou royal court. Therefore, the internal stability and fighting will of the Xuanwu camp are very strong.

The camp of Qilin and Baihu is stronger than the Xuanwu clan in terms of strength, but its internal stability is weaker.

First of all, there is no trust at all between Queen Lu Ya and Patriarch Qilin, and even the two sides have a strong dislike for each other.

The only thing that made the two clans unite was the illegitimate emperor Qi Qiaosong. His own legal rationality and political prestige are too fragile, and it takes Queen Lu Ya and Qilin Patriarch to endorse him at the same time, which makes the two stand together with disgust.

Secondly, the diplomatic relations between the Jiao tribe and the Mao tribe were not much better in the first place, as can be seen from Lu Ya's undisguised dislike for Qi Weihuan.

In addition to the internal cause of consolidating the emperor's rule, another major external factor that promotes the cooperation between the two is that both sides have no way to fight against the Xuanwu clan independently, and can only be forced to unite.

These two camps have common interests and common enemies, so they can be firmly kneaded together... But if the dragon and feather clan form an alliance, they don't have such conditions.

First, the common interests of the two are rather vague. Who said sitting on the sidelines is the best choice? There must be monks in the clan who feel that it is more appropriate to support Xuanwu/Kirin and take the initiative to gain political interests. From this point of view, neither the Yu clan nor the dragon clan actually formed a unified consensus internally.

Second, there is no common enemy between the two. Xuanwu wants to oppose Qi Qiaosong, and Qilin-Baihu wants to oppose Qi Weihong. The existence of such enemies can knead the consciousness within the clan, but the Yu and Dragon clans do not.

To sum up, it can be seen that even if the Feather and Dragon clans form an alliance, it is still a very loose alliance—even in the worst direction, both sides have the possibility of withdrawing from the alliance at any time (if the other two camps offer a higher Price), there is also a need to guard against the other party's withdrawal from the alliance.

Of course, this flaw is not irreparable.

As long as the high-level leaders of both sides can unify and agree, and then adopt an extremely tough attitude towards the tribe, the tribe will follow the leader spontaneously like a flock of sheep in the early stage.

After the two camps fought life and death and their respective heavy losses were laid out, the Yu clan and the dragon clan will gradually come to a consensus: oh, it's a good thing that the clan didn't get involved in this muddy water.

In the end, Qin Beiwang didn't think of this at all, which made Feng Yan quite speechless, I thought about the fifth floor, but you are actually in the basement.

Fortunately, when Longlong answered the reminder, Qin Beiwang also immediately understood what the other party meant, which made Fengyan's face pale.

Of course, the appreciation for Long Long became more and more intense, almost unable to hold back.

What Your Highness said is very true. Qin Bei Wang looked here in order to save his respect, so he could only pretend that I have already understood, and said slowly, We don't have any Qilin clansmen who claim the throne. Why should we fight for the ownership of the Zhongzhou Royal Court? To put it bluntly, our Dragon Clan only wants to protect the Dongzhou family property left by our ancestors, and we are not interested in things outside Dongzhou at all.

This is nonsense: If the Dragon Clan really only wants to be successful, they should keep the identity of the Dragon Fox strictly a secret, and not even allow it to be circulated within the clan... What are you trying to do by secretly poking for the former princess?

That's right. Feng Yan said indifferently, Our Yu Clan has always been peace-loving, and we don't want to easily step into the political vortex of Zhongzhou. This is similar to your Dragon Clan.

This is also a lie: one of the reasons for the discord between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou is that the Yu tribe north of Nanzhou often invades the southern border of Zhongzhou and carries out looting... If the Yu tribe claims to be peace-loving, then the East In the imperial world, there are no monster clans with abundant martial virtues.

The two looked at each other for a moment, secretly determined in their hearts: Very good, at least the other side showed their attitude.

As for being thick-faced and shameless, those are all trivial matters.

I wonder if I can meet Patriarch Canglong? Feng Yan asked further.

The subtext is that although you, the patriarch, agrees, what about the ancestor?

The ancestor has been practicing in seclusion recently, and there are many mundane matters, so it's inconvenient to disturb him. Qin Beiwang said cryptically.

It means that the ancestors don't care about the common affairs of the clan, and my power as the patriarch is unlimited.

Feng Yan suddenly understood, and said in admiration:

That's good.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Longlong again, and couldn't stop sighing.

Your Highness, what's the reason? Long Long was a little scared by her, and Qin Beiwang also asked aloud.

It's just a pity. Feng Yan smiled meaningfully, Such a talent, but my Yu Clan can't make use of it. I really envy you Dragon Clan.

Qin Beiwang keenly heard that the other party seemed to want to get married, and immediately secretly issued a verbal check:

If you and I can really become family friends, then Long Long will be able to find a few friends in the Yu Clan monks, maybe even a confidante. Your Highness said that Long Long can't be used, it is really biased.

Long Long also knew the elegant meaning by hearing the string song, so he immediately got up to avoid it and said:

His Highness loves you so much, Long Long deserves it.

Hahahaha. Feng Yan covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly.

Qin Beiwang seemed to be saying, As long as our two clans form an alliance, Long Long can also find a wife within your Yu clan, but metaphors are metaphors after all, and as long as they turn their faces and refuse to admit it, the Yu clan will of course have no choice.

What a scheming person Feng Yan was, she was naturally not deceived by Qin Beiwang, but only showed a fake smile of I'm very happy.

Longlong, you go first. Qin Beiwang said kindly when he saw that the matter was basically settled and he only had to ask Patriarch Canglong for a final decision.

Long Long bid farewell and retreated. As soon as he left the hall, he saw a figure disappear behind the porch in a hurry.

Long Long:?

Who is that?

On the beach near the beach, Longhu was idly building a castle with sand, when suddenly Qin Ye came running over in a hurry.

Sister Fox! She shouted in a panic, It's over! Brother Longlong is going to marry someone else!

Dragon Fox:?

She collapsed the castle with a single tail, stood up and asked in a voice:

What?

My father said it himself! Qin Ye almost shed tears, why doesn't the promised fiancé count? Let him go to the Yu clan to find a confidante!
