Chapter 437 Determining the Marriage Partner, Alliance
Chapter 437 Determining the Marriage Partner, Alliance
"you sure?"
After calming himself down, Qin Wu looked at Feng Qingcang and spoke.
He still finds it hard to believe that the Phoenix Clan is willing to have their patriarch arrange a marriage alliance.
This is no joke. Once the marriage is arranged, the clan chief will reside permanently in the Qin Dynasty and will not be allowed to leave the palace without his permission.
It's like locking yourself in the deep palace.
Especially now that Qin Wu has an empress, she will not only have to obey Qin Wu's orders, but also be under the empress's control when she comes here through marriage.
He didn't believe that a clan leader would lower himself to such a position.
"It's confirmed. This was promised by the clan chief himself, and the information about the clan chief in this document was also entered by the clan chief himself."
Feng Qingcang nodded without the slightest hesitation.
When the clan leader made this decision, almost everyone in the Phoenix Clan opposed it.
However, their clan leader was a woman of her word, and no one could change her decisions. Under her insistence, everyone could only compromise.
In particular, the reason given by their clan leader was very appealing to them.
That was because their clan leader wanted to personally understand the Qin Dynasty's integration of destiny.
The temptation is just too great.
"In that case, then let your clan leader take over!"
Qin Wu said calmly.
He wanted to see what the Phoenix Clan was up to, that they would invest so much.
Let their clan chief arrange a marriage.
Only then did Ao Yuzhe come to his senses.
He truly hadn't expected that one would dare to do it, and the other would dare to agree.
Both the Phoenix Clan and the Divine Martial Emperor are ruthless! Especially the Divine Martial Emperor, isn't he afraid of inviting trouble?
Even if the Phoenix Clan Chief's cultivation was suppressed, he was still a late-stage Demon Emperor, almost reaching the peak of the Demon Emperor realm!
“Alright, then I will immediately prepare for the clan leader’s descent to the mortal realm when I get back.”
Feng Qingcang was also surprised by Qin Wu's choice, but he quickly regained his composure.
Anyway, these things are all consensual, and he can't stop them, nor should he have the right to.
I can only agree.
"Yes, you can stay in Xianyang City for a while. I will send someone to prepare the betrothal gifts, which you can take with you then."
Qin Wu nodded.
"Then thank you Your Majesty."
Feng Qingcang stopped calling him "Emperor Shenwu" and started calling him "Your Majesty" directly.
After all, this person will soon become their Phoenix Clan's son-in-law, so calling him by an honorific title would be too formal.
"Your Majesty the Divine Martial Emperor, this is the list of marriage alliances for our Dragon Clan."
Ao Yuzhe reluctantly took out the list they had prepared, originally thinking that the Dragon Clan had shown enough sincerity.
However, compared to the Phoenix Clan, they are somewhat lacking.
Their marriage alliance list does include high-ranking dragons, but they are only at the early stage of the Demon Emperor realm. Although they hold a high position in the dragon race, they are not on the same level as the Phoenix Clan Chief.
The difference is just too obvious.
But it's too late to say anything now, and I can't help but sigh.
Qin Wu took the list, selected the high-ranking dragon, and then stopped looking at the others.
After all, compared to the Phoenix Clan Chief, there's nothing to see.
It's just a marriage alliance anyway, so it doesn't really matter who you choose.
After confirming the candidates, Qin Wu discussed some details of the alliance with the two men and then prepared to arrange for them to stay.
When it was time to see them off.
Ao Yuzhe actually spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that your crown prince is still unmarried. Do you have any suitable candidates? If not, you may consider women from our dragon clan."
Upon hearing this, both Qin Wu and Feng Qingcang were stunned.
They truly hadn't expected Ao Yuzhe to pull this stunt.
Having lost out in the previous marriage alliance, they now directly set their sights on Qin Wu's son.
"If His Majesty agrees, I will contact my clan and have them send me a list of suitable women for your crown prince to choose from."
Ao Yuzhe paused for a moment before speaking again.
Actually, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision for him.
During the discussions with Qin Wu about the alliance, he carefully observed Qin Wu and everything in the imperial study.
He discovered that this Divine Martial Emperor was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
This person was truly unfathomable to him; even their clan leader didn't possess this kind of feeling.
It's clear that this person is no less terrifying than their clan leader.
However, we need to learn more about the specifics later. After their marriage, we'll let the person who arranged the marriage thoroughly understand Qin Wu's situation.
"Yes, I'm just worried about that boy's marriage. It would be best if the Dragon Clan had a suitable woman."
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Wu did not refuse.
Since we're already preparing for an alliance, strengthening the relationship between the two sides wouldn't hurt.
Besides, she's just a woman; he doesn't take her seriously. He doesn't believe a dragon girl can cause any trouble in his Xianyang City.
"Then it's settled. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that Qin Wu had agreed, Ao Yuzhe smiled and left.
Seeing this, Feng Qingcang could only take his leave.
In the following period, the Ministry of Rites became busy preparing betrothal gifts.
The betrothal gifts this time cannot be small, especially those for the Phoenix Clan Chief.
Of course, the news of the marriage alliance between the three major powers did not spread beyond the Qin Emperor Domain; everyone was given a gag order.
This was also to prevent other factions from finding out and ruining their marriage alliance.
By the time the marriage is completed, it will be too late even if the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and Buddhist Realm find out.
After Qin Wu finished his discussions with the Dragon and Phoenix clans, he went to the Communication Hall.
He needs to discuss this matter with Patriarch Qin.
After all, the three major forces joining forces next will not only be in the middle domain, but will also be in the upper domain.
As for how to negotiate with the higher-level regions, that's their business.
He is now only in charge of matters in the middle domain.
In addition, the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan will also prepare to send troops directly after Ao Yuzhe and Feng Qingcang return.
At that time, the three parties will join forces to attack the four major factions: the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and the Buddhist Realm.
After informing the Qin clan chief about this matter, Qin Wu discussed some matters with him.
Qin Wu then issued an imperial edict summoning Qi Ye and other generals back to the capital to discuss plans for future battles.
This time it's not just a small skirmish like before; this time it will be a real battle.
They will continue fighting until they reach the territories of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan.
When the three major forces are in sync, their cooperation can be strengthened.
As for completely taking over the Immortal Vein, Qin Wu had never considered it, nor could he possibly do it.
If that were to happen, the four major factions would likely go completely mad, which is not the outcome Qin Wu desires.
There's absolutely no need for that.
He has more important things to do, and there's no need to push the four major factions to the brink at this time.
That might actually be counterproductive.
Ten days later.
Ao Yuzhe and Feng Qingcang then left the Qin Emperor Domain with the betrothal gifts prepared by Qin Wu.
The next step is to wait for the marriage partners of the two clans to descend to the mortal realm.
