Chapter 426: Forming an Alliance
angyue's status in the circle of noblewomen in Fenghuci City was self-evident. In addition to her proficiency in poetry, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was known as the first talented woman fr..."Are we three families going to support a nobody, someone with no background, no strength, and no backing, to become the Emperor of Man Nation What nerve you have!" Ling Qiu immediately jumped out to express his dissatisfaction. "Do you think our three hidden families are rich people who just gather together easily Do you think we can join hands casually Our three families have existed for hundreds of years, and we have never united to do anything together. You, a little girl, dare to make such a request. Do you really think our three families are just eating idle rice"
His rage did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Qin Luoyan. She just curled her lips and said lightly, "If you agree, I will take you to find the treasure at the source of Gengjin..."
A single sentence completely changed the expressions on Li Hai, Lingqiu, and Xiaolong's faces.
Li Hai and Ling Qiu were aware of the source of Geng Jin, a matter shrouded in mystery and secrecy for every hidden family. For centuries, these families had depleted their foundations, requiring the support of such treasures. Moreover, these treasures couldn't be replaced by ordinary gold or silver wealth.
The three great families were originally in a state of three-legged stand. At this time, if anyone could increase their foundation by one level, they would have absolute power. Who dares to guarantee that after one family's strength grows, it will not have undue thoughts towards the other two Therefore, the matter of the Gengjin source has always been an unspeakable dispute between the three families over the years.
Li Hai knew about Qin Luoyan's abilities, and because of their blood relation, only Qin Luoyan's blood could open the treasure trove of Gengjin Source. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and immediately stated: "Our Li family has no problem. As long as Miss Qin keeps her promise, regardless of whether the other two families agree or not, our Li family is willing to support your younger brother ascending to the throne. And... with our Li family's power, although it might be a bit troublesome, we can also do it independently."
Li Hai's implication was that the Li family was fully capable of doing what Qin Luo'yan requested on their own. The other two families were insignificant to him, and he didn't care if they got a share of the pie in this Gengjin matter.
Given Xiao Long's position in the Rong family, he wouldn't be privy to such secrets as the source of the Gengjin treasure. However, as Fu Zimu's confidant, he had received instructions beforehand: to agree to Qin Luo Yan's any condition. So without hesitation, he immediately stated, "Our Rong family has no problem, we will definitely help Miss Qin fulfill her wish."
Qin Luo'yan looked at him in surprise, "Are you sure you can represent the Rong family"
Xiao Long nodded affirmatively. "Although I can't, my master can now." He didn't know what agreement his master had reached with Rong Jia, but in any case, Rong Jia was now treating his master with a mixture of respect and fear. If this matter was important to Rong Jia, they wouldn't have refused.
"That's good." Qin Luoyan's eyebrows were lowered, she didn't know why she would ask such a question out of the blue. Now that she knew the person behind Xiaolong was Fu Zimu, she couldn't help but think a lot.
She knew about the past grievances between Fu Zimu and the Rong family's main branch, so now that Fu Zimu had returned to the Rong family's main branch, there must be something he couldn't say. She understood Fu Zimu; he was definitely not someone who would easily submit to his opponents. But since he went back, did it mean that he actually encountered a great deal of difficulty
Even Lian Fuzi Mo found it difficult, could there be a possibility that he was afraid of dragging her down That's why he did so many things she couldn't understand
But the thought only lasted a moment before she shook her head and pushed it out of her mind. She was still too sentimental. How could she, a woman who was of little use to him, be worth his effort
Lingqiu saw that both the Li family and the Rong family had made their stances clear, and his heart sank. He couldn't help but take another look at Qin Luoyan. Even now, he still found it hard to believe that such a young woman could be the key figure in finding the source of Gengjin treasure
Have you thought it over Now, two families have already agreed to my terms. Whether your Ling family wants to join in is up to you. But if you don't want to, I won't force you. I haven't got time to waste with you. Just give me an answer. Frankly, the feud between me and your Ling family runs deep, and I'm not really interested in cooperating with you anyway.
Qin Luo'yan said this coldly. If it weren't for the Ling family's many years of operation in Man Country, their influence would definitely be more deeply rooted than the other two families. With the help of the Ling family, Yingsheng's path to the throne would definitely be smoother, and he could avoid a lot of unnecessary danger and trouble. She wouldn't cooperate with the Ling family otherwise.
Ling Qiu's aged face was etched with difficulty. The source of the Gengjin treasure was crucial, he couldn't let this opportunity slip away. But to cooperate with the woman who had killed the young master... that would be a huge stain on their family honor.
"I'll count to three. If you don't agree, I'll have to ask you to leave." Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Luoyan slowly began to count: "Three, two..."
"Alright! I agree!" Ling Qiu finally agreed, after all, the young master had already died, and the power of the Ling family still needed to continue.
This result was exactly what Qin Luoyan had expected, so she smiled and nodded. "Since you have all agreed, I hope you can take action as soon as possible. With the joint participation of your three families, I believe this matter can be resolved quickly. Then, we will set off to the treasure trove at the source of Gengjin."
Things have been settled, so what's left is much simpler than they imagined. The people from the three families started discussing ways to deal with Zuoche in the pavilion, each offering some hidden forces they had in Man Country.
To Qin Luo's surprise, the power of these three families was far greater than she had imagined. Not only were there many people from the three families in the court of Man Kingdom, but even in the Man Kingdom's army, there were generals who belonged to the three families. That is to say, within the military world of Man Kingdom, the three families actually had their own armies!
This is a terrifying thing no matter what country it happens in. Within a nation's army, there are some who outwardly belong to the state, but secretly they are loyal to the three major families! It's no wonder that in the successions of the Southern Yue Kingdom, Northern Ming Kingdom, or even the Barbarian Kingdom, one can always find the shadow of these families at play.
And, it wasn't just within the military, even in Zhao Cheng's own ranks, there were quite a few of their undercover agents. This way, with inside and outside cooperation, taking down Zhao Cheng would be an incredibly easy task for them, they thought.
Thus, Qin Luoyan also gained a deeper understanding of the three great families. However, the deeper she understood, the more afraid she became.
