"The future of Haiguo and Yunhuang should be like this-that is not only the dream of your scorpion people, but also the dream of our Kongsang people. I hope that it can be done together through your and my hands."
Seventeen, the alliance
The night is deep, as if an invisible curtain isolates everything.
However, in the brightly lit hall, everyone close at hand was silent, as if there was an invisible curtain unfolding between each other, and each other's thoughts at the moment in each other's hearts.
Su Mo was sitting on the side of Yanxi’s couch, seeming to be looking at the injuries of the Zuo Quanshi of the Restoration Army, but his eyes were far away, and there was a faint trace of lightning passing by in a daze, showing that he was the young master of the shark. The fierce struggle inside. Mrs. Ruyi brought cold water and soaked the towel on Yan Xi’s forehead, but her eyes were quite intersecting-she was also a shark who had gone through that process, knowing that in this case, the best way to go back to the water is to go back to the water. Let the temperature of the water cool the temperature in the body due to fission, and keep the blood of the sharks cold. Otherwise, it will be dehydrated and die like a fish leaving the water.
Na Sheng lay in the arms of Princess Kongsang, stopped the blood under the action of Bai Ying's curse, breathing slowly became steady and even, sleeping like a child.
Although Murong Xiu is an outsider, he has listened to his father’s generations of various things in detail thousands of times since he was a child. Naturally, he also knows what major changes are brewing in the silent confrontation between the two sides—the great changes in the current situation and the original. There is no direct relationship with an outsider in his neighborhood, but for some reason, the young jeweler is watching the expressions on both sides, but the expressions on his faces are quite nervous.
"I heard that when your first empire'Qin' in Zhongzhou was founded, there was a giant named Lu Buwei."When being alone, Prince Kongsang's words suddenly sounded in his ears, meaningless.
Although it is a family of merchants, the Murong family, as the head of the four giants, is naturally not just an ordinary market merchant covered with copper. As the eldest son, Murong Xiu is familiar with classics and history, and he naturally remembers the words of Tai Shigong:
"Lu Buwei Jia was in Handan and saw Qin Zhizi's stranger, he returned to his father and said:'How many times is the profit of ploughing the land?' said:'Ten times.' How many times does the jade win?' said:'A hundred times.'' Li How many times does the Lord of the country win?' said:'Innumerable.' said:'Today Litian is sick, and you must not warm your clothes and food. Today, the nation is established and Ze can be left to the future generations. May the past be the same!'"
Later, after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, Lu Buwei, who was born as a businessman, was really named Wen Xinhou. He eats 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan, and has tens of thousands of children. It is a glory that a pure businessman could not achieve in his entire life. And power.
Murong Xiu is a wise man, and of course he knows the extraneous hint of the former ruler of the deserted land-such a great opportunity is in front of him. As the eldest son of a Murong family who has been in business for generations, he is not unmoved.
However, a jeweler in his own neighborhood has no martial arts or magic skills, but he buys and sells things to earn yellow and white. How can he help such a big plan? And I am a native of Zhongzhou, with the trust of the Murong family. As a long-term son of the family, he needs to return to his hometown as soon as possible, so that his mother will not worry day and night. If he does not return after the three-year period, he will be treated as another country The ghost came to look at it—how could he easily get involved in such a dangerous thing with little control...
And... Are the Kongsang people regaining their country, and how are they related to an outsider?
The steady style made the young jeweler never blurt out to agree to the proposal of the prince, but the restless ambition deep in his heart was eager to try it under such a strong stimulus. However, how difficult it is for the Kongsang people to overthrow the Cangliu Empire, and they can’t even grasp it. Even if the young jeweler is unable to restrain himself and wants to intervene in the political situation, he is still soberly aware that under such a severe situation, he hastily. A promise is nothing less than a desperate bet.
He is actually a person who is not afraid of desperate, but how can he let Zhongzhou's mother worry day and night.
Therefore, in such a stagnant atmosphere, Murong Xiu even wanted to know whether the alliance between the Maiden and Kongsang could be achieved this time-if the two parties joined forces, then he would be able to deal with the Cangliu Empire a little bit more. So for him, he can also be a little bit more sure about whether to bet on his family's life.However, Somo was silent and did not express the slightest sign.
Seeing that the night is about to pass and the day is about to fall on the cloud and waste land again, the Kongsang kings have a slightly disturbed look on their faces, looking at each other-they must go back.
However, this alliance failed. I don't know if there will be such a chance next time that so many princes and princes will walk together on the ground and negotiate. Because in order to avoid a frontal conflict with the Cangliu Empire, for a hundred years, the Kongsang people have never left the colorless city easily except for patrolling nearby all night, let alone let Zhenlan, who is the crown prince, leave.
Zhen Lan's face also fluctuated slightly, turned to look at the sky, and finally spoke, saying:
"Suma, if we form an alliance, I can promise to release the Dragon God from the Abyss of Cangwu."
Such a sentence shocked everyone present. The kings were astonished, and Mrs. Ruyi blurted out even more. Even the evil puppet master couldn’t avoid it. She raised her head in shock, and the sharp light condensed in her eyes, staring directly at Kongsang. The crown prince.
-Release the Dragon God from the Abyss of Cangwu?
Seven thousand years ago, the Emperor Xingzun combined the six powers to capture the shark’s protector from the blue sea, and forcibly sealed the town into the Cangwu Abyss under the Jiuyi Mountain. Since then, the sharks have lost their refuge and are unable to reconcile. The mighty Kongsang empire confronted and succumbed to slavery.
That was the beginning of the nightmare of the mackerel... and today, the Kongsang said, can the dragon **** be released from the abyss of Cangwu?
Su Mo was only slightly startled, but immediately the corners of his mouth rose, and a disdainful sneer appeared."Don't laugh yet." Obviously seeing the arrogance and arrogance in Master Puppet's heart, Zhen Lan interrupted suddenly, with a calm voice, "I tell you, the seal on Cangwu Abyss is not something you can do. Untied—the power of that seal is almost equivalent to the divine power of Emperor Xingzun...If you are so conceited, you will surely find yourself powerless at that time."
Su Mo continued to sneer, but his eyes slowly condensed—he also had mind-reading skills, so at this moment, he could tell that Prince Kongsang’s words were not intimidating.
"Of course, if you are willing to fight hard and break the seal, it's not impossible." Zhenlan nodded slightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "But even if you release the Dragon God, you still have more power. To the Cangliu Empire’s Heavenly Conqueror Corps?... Obviously, it can be done at no cost. Wouldn't you be so angry that you will burn the jade and the stone?"
Su Mo slowly stopped smiling, and his expression returned to his usual gloomy indifference. For a long time, he asked coldly: "How do you open such a powerful seal? Do you still rely on this little girl?"
Seeing the suspicion in the eyes of the puppet master, Zhenlan shook her head, and decided to tell her: "The power of the Sheng can only correspond to the emperor, and the power to seal the dragon god... comes from the Houtu element."
"Queen Bai Wei?!" The kings blurted out in exclamation, even Bai Ying's expression changed-this secret, not only was not included in the royal books, but even the six feudal kings had never known it.
"Queen Bai Wei." Zhen Lan spit out the name of the mother of the country again, lowered her eyes with a solemn look that she had never had before, and pressed her right hand to the center of her eyebrows, as if every time she said the name, she carried the rare In awe.
Bai Ying suddenly didn't know what to say. As the king of the Bai clan, she didn't even know anything like this.
"Bai Ying, do you know why the power of Houtu is so?-Even in the battle with Somo last night, you couldn't protect you?" Zhen Lan looked at his wife and sighed slightly, "Because Houtu's The power, along with all the spiritual power of Queen Bai Wei, was exhausted in the Abyss of Cangwu in order to seal the Dragon God."
Back then...Is it the Queen Bai Wei who shot and sealed the Dragon God of Shark?Su Mo was stunned, and suddenly there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth—it turned out that a thousand years ago, it was a female of the Bai clan who killed the fate of the shark... a thousand years later...?
"So you don't have to feel guilty. With this'Hou Tu' in your hand, you don't have much'protection' power anymore." Zhen Lan looked at her, let out a sigh, and finally said what she hadn't expressed to his wife for a long time. , "A hundred years ago, even if you didn't fall from the Garan White Pagoda, Kongsang, after all, it was hard to escape disaster."
Prince Kongsang took his wife's hand, and on the slender and pale fingers of the ghost woman, the silver back soil was shining with a secluded luster of millennia infiltration. He clearly felt Bai Ying's fingers trembling slightly, just saying The last words came out: "So, now, the only one who wants to unlock this seal is you, the king of the Bai clan."

Bai Ying's hand shook suddenly, and she looked up at her husband. Such a pale and beautiful face, the beauty is unreal, and the long white hair fell from the white king's forehead, covering the seat like snow.
However, when she heard this, she was as calm as usual: "If I have this ability, I will do my best."
"Only you can, you are the one chosen by Hou Tu." Zhen Lan lowered her head, there was something strange in her eyes.
