"Brother, I...I don't know." Yun Xi's face became paler. She vaguely guessed what the prince brother wanted to say. He wanted her to be his wife, to win over the Gu clan and divide them. The linkage between the Gu tribe, demons and barbarians.
Yun Xi knew that the son of the Gu clan had thoughts about her. This came from an incident many years ago.
When Emperor Taiping was still involved in the affairs of the palace, he once thought about doing something big, so he went to the south and north to fight, and he made great achievements.
The measure he took at that time was to revise the contract with Buddhism, so that the water in the well would not interfere with the river. This was the experience left over from the previous dynasty. Buddhism pays attention to the purity of the six roots and does not engage in killing. Therefore, the relationship between the previous dynasty and Buddhism was very harmonious. Just give up part of the area for Buddhism to carry out missionary work.
Therefore, after Dali was passed down, this practice continued. Emperor Taiping and Buddhism once again perfected the rules and agreements. Buddhism and Dali have been living in peace for many years.
As for the barbarians and demons, because they are naturally hostile to the human race, there is no need to waste words. The fate of life and death is doomed to require fighting against them.
The only one that can be won over is the Gu clan.
The Gu Clan is also called the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan is also a human race.
However, the Wu tribe is considered an indigenous people and has not evolved. They still continue the slash-and-burn life of thousands of years ago.
Because there are many miasmas and poisons in the mountains of Nanling, the earliest leaders of the witch clan were witch doctors who could help people survive. There were ten of the earliest leaders, and they were called the "Ten Witches".
Later, the ten witches evolved into a leader of the witch clan. Because of the witch clan's voodoo skills, he was called the Gu King.
Because they have the same origin and are all humans, Emperor Taiping had great hopes for the Gu clan. Therefore, after a long period of discussion, the Gu clan announced a peace treaty with the human race. It was also because of this that the human race could concentrate on dealing with the barbarians and the human race. demon.
As a result, the Gu tribe and Dali had a honeymoon period for a period of time. At that time, the Gu tribe also sent a large number of people to Dali to learn Dali's advanced culture and technology.
It was also at that time that the son of the Gu King of the Gu clan came to Dali and spent some time with Yunxi.
At that time, the son of the Gu King of the Gu clan and Yun Xi were both still young. In addition to Yun Xi, some princes who were similar in age to Yun Xi also knew the son of the Gu King.
At this time, Yunxi recalled what happened at the time, but he was still young at the time and would not think of love between men and women at all. However, he did not expect that after so many years, Yunxi and the Gu King's son had grown up, but they I didn't expect that the son of the Gu King would be so obsessed with Yun Xi.
Even Yun Xi himself had not thought of this.
Only later, when Yun Xi heard some similar remarks, did she realize that the son of the Gu King was very fond of him back then, and he has never forgotten it even after all these years.
…
Yun Wuji looked at Yun Xi's expression at this time and smiled: "Yun Xi, you don't have to be so nervous. The eldest brother is just asking, since the son of Gu King is interested in you, why do you try to invite him to Dali to play? Just for fun, or you can go to the Miao land to take a look and relax."
"I heard that the land of Nanling has many lofty mountains, strange and magnificent beauty, crisscrossed ravines, and many magnificent and beautiful rivers and mountains. It is also a place of great beauty." Yun Wuji showed a look of yearning on his face.
"Okay, big brother." Yun Xi didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only respond reluctantly. He would prevaricate and wait until the big brother left here before asking his master or father for help.
"Okay." Yun Wuji nodded, as if he didn't care whether what Yun Xi said was true or false, but said: "Yun Xi, my father is weak and told me to take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, and also to look after my elder brother. Li's country."
"To be honest, the burden on brother is also very heavy." Yun Wuji sat down a little tiredly at this time, and said casually: "Three major alien races have joined forces, and their goal is to control the country of Dali. I have to withstand it. The pressure they bring.”
"Yesterday, I summoned Master Song and six ministers to come to my east palace to discuss matters. We have initially formulated our ideas. We still advocate taking the initiative to attack the barbarians and demons. After all, these two races are in a fight to the death with us. relation."
"As for the Gu clan, we had a good relationship with them for a period of time. Although we did not continue it due to various reasons, now it seems that being on good terms with the Gu clan will bring us great benefits and no harm." Yun said. Wuji began to analyze such a big situation and his thoughts.
"However, after the Gu clan and Da Li turned against each other, the Gu King no longer wanted to have any contact or cooperation with Da Li. Now that the Gu King is out of seclusion, his ambitions are probably not small." Yun Wuji continued at this time: "So the breakthrough point There is only one, and that is his son.”
"If it is through his son, there may be room for change."
"Yunxi, you also have the blood of the Yun family." Yun Wuji turned his eyes to Yunxi again at this time and said: "As a descendant of the Yun family, I, the eldest brother, can tell you clearly that I I have already put life and death aside, and I am willing to sacrifice everything, including my life, for the prosperity and eternal peace of Dali."
"Do you understand what I mean? Yun Xi!" Yun Wuji turned around and looked at Yun Xi.
"Brother, I understand what you mean." Yun Xi nodded, feeling sad in his heart. Yun Wuji said these words to cut off her escape route. He wanted to put her on an iron frame and torture her.
If she doesn't agree, this matter will affect the foundation and peace of the Dali Dynasty for eternity, then she will become a sinner of the Yun family and Dali.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi felt a little sad. After all, he could not escape the role of a vase. Could he not escape the path of marriage?
There were also examples of marriages in the previous dynasties. In the late period of the Daqian Dynasty, in order to save their lives, the princesses of the Daqian Dynasty were often sent as goods to the barbarians in the north and the Gu tribe in the south. I heard that those princesses were in such places, They were treated completely like slaves and were ravaged by the barbarians as if they were trading goods.
Just thinking about Yun Xi makes me shudder.
But the father is in poor health, and the eldest brother is the backbone of Dali. If the eldest brother insists on sending him away for marriage, there is nothing anyone can do.
The prince came here just to tell Yun Xi these things. Since he achieved his purpose today, he naturally did not stay here for a long time and turned around and left.
…
When Luo Qingyi walked in, she found that Yun Xi had collapsed on the ground. Luo Qingyi quickly stepped forward to help Yun Xi up and asked with concern: "Princess, are you okay?"
"Qingyi, eldest brother, eldest brother wants to send me to get married..." When Yunxi saw Luo Qingyi, she immediately felt her grievances welling up from her heart. She cried with tears and fell into Luo Qingyi's arms.
Luo Qingyi's heart was shocked, but even after analyzing the reason, he had long heard that the son of the Gu King had admired Yunxi for a long time. The Gu clan and the human clan are connected by the same bloodline. This time, the three major alien races have moved. The only one who can win over and divide is the Gu clan.
And Yunxi is a victim of this power struggle and war.
Luo Qingyi sighed softly. For things like this, she could understand after thinking about it that this was the best choice she had made. There was no other choice.
But this was too cruel to Yun Xi, and she was the only one who felt the saddest part.
Luo Qingyi could only gently pat Yun Xi's shoulder to express comfort. She had no choice. No one in the world could disobey the prince's decision.
…
Jiangnan Academy.
Fang Yi has been constantly tempering his talent and strength under the Jiupu River in the past few days, and at the same time he began to practice Confucian magical powers.
When talents are sufficient, Confucian's magical powers are extremely powerful, and there are endless offensive and killing techniques.
It was also half a month later that Fang Yi heard about the quiz.
In other words, Zhan Confucian monks will have a test about every half a month, but the test method has not yet been determined. People like Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Baiyi are also practicing day and night, and they are very involuntarily involved. .
Fang Yi was okay, practicing step by step according to his own cultivation method.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the quiz.
On this day, Feng Ziqin summoned all the War Confucian monks together and announced the news about the quiz.
"Students, this quiz is extremely important for you." Feng Ziqin said at this time: "The quiz is to test the results of the previous period of practice, and it is also to help you find your own shortcomings and gaps. , in order to catch up.”
"And the most important thing is that the quiz will award a certain number of points based on the results." Feng Ziqin said with a smile at this time: "You must cherish this opportunity and seize it, because the quiz is your only one." The easiest project to earn points for.”
The importance of points to these students is self-evident.
In the academy, points are everything. Only by relying on points can you obtain the resources for cultivation, and indeed, as Feng Ziqin said, it is difficult to obtain points.
They have gone through all the tasks in Trading Place City. They are simply not tasks that ordinary people can complete. They all require going to sea to hunt monsters and the like.
Demons are so easy to hunt. Every year, a large number of students from the Academy die overseas. Many of them die overseas because they go out to do extremely difficult and dangerous tasks.
And the reason for working so hard is not to gain points, obtain resources, and become stronger.
Because the academy is originally a place where the weak prey on the strong, you cannot lie flat in the academy, because in the third year, if you do not reach the fifth rank of Hanlin, you will be forcibly expelled from the academy. Once you leave the academy, the academy will not recognize you. The identity of a student of the academy.
This means that those Confucian and Taoist monks who cannot reach the fifth-grade Hanlin realm in their lifetime will not be recognized or provided with protection by the Academy in the future.
