Su Bujin stood too high and couldn't do everything by herself. She had to run between Linglong Pavilion and Donghai. What's more, she had to spend most of her time on training. Even up to now, she couldn't even name some of the top executives of Donghai. name.
From this point of view, standing tall is not a good thing.
"You have been in charge of the Daqi Dynasty for so many years. Haven't you cultivated any trusted confidants? Why would you choose a stranger like Wei Liang?"
Su Bujin smiled lightly and said something seemingly casually.
Grand Duke Qi understood that Su Bujin still didn't trust him. He always felt that he was plotting something against Lu Weiliang, so he could only smile and explain: "I have lived for so long, of course I have cultivated a lot of confidants, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are almost They are all my cronies, but they are only 'my' cronies. They are loyal to me while I am alive. When I die, they will not continue to support mediocre curtains and a mediocre master. That is not called loyalty. , that’s called foolish loyalty, if it were me, I wouldn’t support Yonglian.”
Su Bujin nodded and said: "I understand this. No matter how deep the relationship is, even if it is a life-long friendship, one must distinguish between inside and outside. Outsiders are outsiders. In such a big matter as inheritance, one's own talents must be reliable."
Xue Suxi told Su Bujin a story: The ancestor of Chen Wuxin, the leader of Yangzong, was a small follower of the founder of Yangzong. The founder of Yangzong was named Tian, and Chen Zu was an unknown soldier under Tian at that time. Later, Chen Zu rescued Tian Yiming during a sect fight and gained Tian's attention.
Later, Chen Zuchang followed Tian through life and death, and stepped into various dangerous situations. In desperate situations, the two helped each other, and were even willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, so the two became brothers with different surnames.
Later, Tian fell seriously ill. Before his death, he did not pass on the position of suzerain to his descendants. Tian was a man who valued friendship. He felt that he and Chen Zu were closer than brothers, so he handed over the position of suzerain to his heirs. He gave it to Chen Zu and entrusted all his heirs to Chen Zu. Of course Chen Zu was moved and agreed.
If the story ends like this, it can be considered a happy ending, but the story is not over. After Tian's death, Chen Zu did not forget his brother's entrustment, and did his best to take care of and cultivate his descendants, and was determined to cultivate Tian's descendants into adults. As the next sect leader, several of Chen Zu’s sons quit. They didn’t understand why their own father treated an outsider’s child better than his own son, so Tian Yimai and Chen Zuyi The pulse begins to conflict.
Finally, Chen Zu died in an accident, leaving the Yang clan without a leader. Some people supported the Tian lineage, and some supported the Chen Zu lineage. The two lines did not have as deep a friendship as their fathers. For the sake of the position of the sect leader, the two lines fought. A bloody battle for suzerainty.
After draining most of the blood of the Yang Zong, the Tian Yizong lineage was slaughtered. In this gorgeous blood feast, the Chen Zu lineage won the final victory at a heavy price. From then on, the Yang Zong lineage was Chen is in control until now.
Who would have thought that this tragic ending was just because of Tian's deep love and righteousness for his brothers.
If Tian had not passed the title of clan leader to Chen Zu, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
If Tian had not passed on the position of suzerain to Chen Zu, perhaps Chen Zu's descendants would not feel that the position of suzerain had anything to do with them.
If Tian had not passed on the title of patriarch to Chen Zu, perhaps the descendants of Tian and Chen would have become good friends.
Maybe the relationship between you and your family is not as deep as that of an outsider, but the relationship between you and this outsider belongs only to the two of you, and others cannot understand it.
No matter how strong the relationship is, it will dissipate when the person leaves, but blood can be passed down and become an eternal bond.
This is why we need to clearly distinguish between our own family members and outsiders.
Grand Duke Qi said with a smile: "It would be great if Pavilion Master Su could understand. No matter how reliable a confidant is, he is still an outsider. Although I have not known Weiliang girl for a long time, as long as she marries Yonglian, she will become one of my own. When she gives birth to a child, won’t that child still be a descendant of our mediocre family? Why do you think I have no reason not to trust her? And I believe that with Wei Liang’s ability and my trust, it will be enough for her to Those close to me support her."
Su Bujin nodded silently. It seemed that he was overthinking. Grand Duke Qi really planned to let Lu Weiliang take over the Daqi Dynasty, although it sounded like a pie-in-the-sky thing.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's talk about their marriage..."
Su Bujin said tentatively.
"A month from now. It's not that I'm trying to be quick, but with my current situation, I can only live for a month."
Grand Duke Qi smiled and shook his head.
Su Bujin was immediately shocked and said, "My lord, has your health deteriorated to this point?"
Qi Taigong said: "I am already in my twilight years. If Wei Liang's medical skills hadn't kept this old man alive, I would have died a long time ago. I'm not afraid of death, but there is one thing that still worries me. "
Su Bujin's expression changed and he asked, "What does Grand Duke mean?"
Taigong Qi sighed and said: "You know, in addition to our Daqi Dynasty, there are five superior countries in the north. These five superior countries are strong, and the major cultivation levels of each country have reached Supreme Peak, although our Daqi Dynasty also has strong men of this level, it would be too tricky if these five superior countries unite together. Once I die, they will definitely take action, so keep this The five superior countries are a scourge after all, but now I am beyond my power, and it is impossible to kill this threat."
Su Bujin nodded suddenly: "So that's it."
In fact, Su Bujin had planned like this before. She planned to gradually devour the lower and middle countries in the north, then gather her strength to defeat the five upper countries one by one, and finally fight the Daqi Dynasty decisively.
After all, Shuiyue Kingdom was comparable to a middle-level country, and a high-level country was enough for her to take it seriously.
However, plans always fail to keep up with changes. Who would have thought that the Daqi Dynasty would suddenly fall into Lu Weiliang's hands.
"Sigh, if I could go back one year, I would be sure to uproot these five superior countries. It's too late to regret now."
Grand Duke Qi sighed.
Su Bujin asked: "You just said that the strongest of the five superior countries are all at the peak of their cultivation, right?"
Taigong Qi nodded: "Yes, if there is no half-immortal in charge, it can only be called a country, and the supreme peak is only one step away from the half-immortal, so the superior country is the pinnacle of the country."
Su Bujin's eyes began to sparkle: "The five supreme peaks..."
Grand Duke Qi asked: "Is Pavilion Master Su interested in this?"
Su Bujin smiled inexplicably and said to Grand Duke Qi: "Grandpa Qi, please leave these five supreme peaks to me."
