Not long after Nalan Hanyi's wedding, a new situation arose in the originally peaceful court.
After going down in the morning, Nalan Fengjin felt a little tired, so he returned to the Phoenix Palace to rest. Before he could even lie down, Jiang Biluo and Chu Tianyou came in with a booklet: "Sect Master, something happened."
Nalan Fengjin was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong, so panicked?"
"The East China Sea Shark clan has written to Her Majesty the Queen of Tianque that they want to have a marriage alliance and send the eldest prince of their clan to marry into the court and become the queen's noble lord." Jiang Biluo handed over the note.
After hearing this, Nalan Fengjin was stunned for a moment, and then anger climbed onto his face: "The Shark tribe sent a prince to marry into the dynasty, why are they so crazy? Have I told the world that after I ascend the throne, the emperor and empress Nalan Xu Yan is the only one. I and the empress have not yet married in the daytime, so I dare to make such a compromise. Is this a blatant provocation? For the sake of the common people in the world, I don’t want to act rashly, but I don’t mind and poked their dragon tomb. .”
As soon as Nalan Xuyan walked into the palace door, he heard Nalan Fengjin's furious voice and took a few steps faster: "What's going on?"
"The Shark Tribe of the East China Sea wants to send your noble lord to marry into the dynasty and enter my harem." Nalan Fengjin was a little angry.
Nalan Xuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I thought it was such a big deal that it was worth making you so angry, so just marry her in and let it go. Anyway, the palace is relatively big. Is there still room for him to eat?"
Nalan Fengjin sneered after hearing this: "Eat? Are you asking for food? Are you asking for status? Wishful thinking. I have said that you are the only empress in my life. I have a concubine. What does this mean? Let the world Are you laughing at me? The East China Sea sharks dare to be so arrogant in front of our God Clan, and their intentions are to be punished."
After Nalan Xuyan heard what she said, he was stunned for a moment, "If you are angry because the Shark Clan is restless, I can understand it, but if you are angry because you are marrying a noble man, it is not worth it. Shark Clan, let's put it nicely." , are children of the sea, to put it bluntly, they are just like a fish. You, a majestic god, are angry with a fish, what are you planning?"
After Nalan Fengjin heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "No, this is wrong. The Shark Race and the God Race have always been in peace with each other, and there are no festivals. At this time, the prince is married to the court. , It’s not just about earning a status. There’s something going on here.” Nalan Fengjin thought for a while: “Xuanruo, please Qingluan come to see me.”
Xuanruo nodded and walked away. After a while, a girl in green clothes walked in: "Your Majesty."
"If I remember correctly, are you from the Dragon Clan?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
Qingluan nodded: "That's exactly what your majesty said."
"Can the East China Sea Shark Clan belong to your tribe?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"Your Majesty, the sharks of the East China Sea belong to the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea, but the dragon tribes of all four seas belong to my tribe." Qingluan replied.
"What is your status in the Dragon Clan? I have never asked you before." Nalan Fengjin said.
"Your Majesty, I am a Saint of the Dragon Clan. In other words, I am the guardian of Long Yuan for this term, and I am on the same level as my father, the Dragon Emperor." Qingluan replied.
"Saint? Then why are you?" Nalan Fengjin was a little surprised when he heard this.
"I protect your majesty by the will of the emperor of heaven. When you ascend, I, the dragon god of the dragon clan, will be your protector. Your majesty knows the reason. It is inconvenient for me to say more, so please forgive me." Qingluan said.
Nalan Fengjin thought for a while and nodded: "I have something to ask you for help. I know you have always been by my master's side, but this time it has to be you. You are tired. I need you to secretly explore the East China Sea Shark Tribe and them. Do you know if there is anything strange about the Dragon Tomb?"
"Your Majesty, you are serious in your words. Your Majesty exists to protect you. Your Majesty, you mentioned the East China Sea Dragon Tomb for no reason. What happened to Your Majesty?" Qingluan asked.
"The sharks of the East China Sea want to marry the eldest prince into the dynasty. It is a blatant violation of my will. The things here are thought-provoking. The sharks of the East China Sea have always been on good terms with the gods, and suddenly they want to get married. This kind of thing has never happened in thousands of years. It can't be helped. I don’t think too much about it.” Nalan Fengjin said: “I’m not afraid of the Sharks, and there’s no way to deal with them, but if we start a war rashly, I’m afraid it will harm the people along the coast.”
"I understand, I will make arrangements now." Qingluan left the hall after saying this.
Nalan Fengjin stood up, walked to the front of the map, placed his finger on the East China Sea, and then stopped on a dot in the center of the East China Sea: "Dragon Tomb, Dragon Tomb??? What is there in this that I didn't expect? "
Nalan Fengjin thought for a while: "Since they are coming, let them come. Instead of guessing here, it is better to see what they are going to do."
Nalan Xuyan stood quietly beside him without speaking, but lowered his head and thought about something.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the Saint to obey His Majesty's dispatches." A voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. Nalan Fengjin turned around and saw a man in white kneeling outside the hall.
"Pingsheng, who are you?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"Prince of the Dragon Clan, Xiao Bailong. Your Majesty can call me Bai Long." Xiao Bailong stood up and said.
"Come in." Nalan Fengjin said, "I'll give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the Holy Lady said that you have questions in your mind, so you sent a special message to ask me to come over. I will not leave until the matter in the East China Sea is resolved." Xiao Bailong said.
Nalan Fengjin nodded: "Thank you Dragon Clan. I do have questions. I want to know the relationship between Dragon Clan and Shark Clan. Please explain it in more detail."
Little White Dragon nodded: "Let's start from the beginning. There are five types of dragons. We are the golden dragon. The god in charge of our dragon clan is the God of the Sea. The dragon clan is divided into the upper dragon clan and the lower dragon clan. Our clan belongs to the upper dragon clan, and the leader is the Dragon Emperor. , the patron saint is the dragon god, and dragons are born from water, so the sea is our habitat. The sea above where the dragon clan is located is the dragon abyss under the deep sea. The dragon god died in the dragon abyss and was reborn in the dragon abyss. Every thousand years of reincarnation, the reborn Dragon God will not leave Long Yuan easily, because there is the sea eye guarded by the Dragon God. The sea eye can ensure the endless growth of the sea, thus nourishing all creatures in the sea. There are four seas above the deep sea, so the dragon Under the emperor are the dragon kings of the four directions, who are in charge of the four seas respectively. Under the four seas are their own dragon tombs, and in the dragon tombs are their dragon gods. Each dragon god guards a spring. This is the structure of the dragon clan, and the Sharman clan, originally It is a fish in the sea. Under the deep sea, it was enlightened by the Dragon God and transformed into a shark. It has a human body and a fish tail. It is incomparably beautiful. Its singing voice is incomparable. When a shark spins silk, it can become a shark. The tears of the shark can be turned into shark beads, each of the shark beads will be bright at night, and the eyes of the shark are rare and precious glazed beads. In the water, the shark is like a fish, and on the shore, it is a human being. It lives by the sea and has a long life. , known as the children of the sea. As the sharks multiplied, the best of the sharks broke through the dragon gate and became dragons. The sharks from all over the world gave birth to their own dragon tombs under the dragon kings of the four seas, guarded by the ascended dragon gods. The dragon god of the sharks is called the Sea Emperor by them. The sea emperor protects the lifeline of the sharks, which is the water eye of the sharks. After the death of the sharks, they will return to the water eyes and be reborn in the water eyes. The sea of the sharks The Emperor and the Water Eye are closely connected. That’s the whole structure.”
"Then what will happen if the water eye dries up?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"The water eye and the shark's sea king complement each other. If the water eye dries up, the shark's sea king will die. If the sea king dies, the shark will lose the ability to regenerate and its life span will be reduced by 90%." Xiao Bailong answer.
"Is there any way to regenerate Shuiyan?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"The fastest way is to combine with the Gods and give birth to a new Neptune Emperor. After the new Neptune Emperor returns, his water eyes will sense the life of the new Neptune Emperor and he will... regenerate..." Xiao Bailong When he said this, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he looked at Nalan Fengjin with an incredible expression: "Your Majesty, could it be..."
"You have also thought about the key to the matter, right? Sending the prince to marry into the court is their real purpose." Nalan Fengjin said.
Xiao Bailong nodded: "Are you going to use your Majesty to regenerate the water eye?"
Nalan Fengjin thought for a moment: "What is the character of a shark?"
"The southern sea sharks are the kindest and like to interact with humans. There are many sharks and humans intermarriage in the southern territory. The western sea sharks have no conflicts with the world and live a comfortable life like a shark. The northern sea sharks have a good relationship with the dragon clan above. , is the right-hand man of the Dragon Clan above, helping to protect the sea. Are there sharks from the East China Sea? I wonder if your majesty has ever noticed that most of the ships on the sea capsized in the East China Sea. Don’t you wonder why there are so few such things in the other three seas? , that’s because the East Marine Sharks are naughty in nature and like to eat people. They overturned the boat, then dragged the people who fell into the water into the abyss to eat. Then they used their souls to increase their own lives. Because they were too rampant, a hundred years ago He angered the Poseidon and imposed a natural punishment on the East China Sea sharks. The price was that the East China Sea sharks' lifespan was shortened to half of its original length. If they wanted to leave the sea and live on land, they had to cut off the fish's tail to form legs, and gave it to the East China Sea. The sharks have imposed a ban, and the cannibals will turn into bubbles and cannot regenerate, so in the past hundred years, the sharks in the East China Sea have not been so rampant." Xiao Bailong said.
"So that's it. What I'm curious about is, why do their water eyes dry up?" Nalan Fengjin said.
Xiao Bailong shook his head: "It's up to the saint to bring back the news about this matter."
"If there is a war with the East China Sea sharks, can the Dragon Clan help me?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"Your Majesty, when you ascend, with your status, even the Emperor of the Sea will be under you. What's more, I, the Golden Dragon Clan, are the appointed guardians of you, so I will naturally be at your disposal." Xiao Bailong said.
Nalan Fengjin nodded after hearing this: "Hey, you are from the Golden Dragon Clan. Why are you called Little White Dragon? Are you a White Dragon?"
"My mother is a princess of the White Dragon Clan. She married my father and I followed my mother. The five dragon clans can intermarry, but the upper dragon clan and the lower dragon clan cannot." Xiao Bailong answered.
"Oh, that's it, haha, thank you." Nalan Fengjin said.
Xiao Bailong waved his hand.
Nalan Fengjin thought for a while: "The envoys of the East China Sea Mermaids are already on their way to the capital. Wait for them to come and see what they say. Before this matter is resolved, you can live in Bihai Palace, behind Bihai Palace. It is a clear soup made from imported seawater, which should be able to meet your needs."
Xiao Bailong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your grace."
"Don't thank me. It was built by my imperial grandfather. I didn't understand it at first. It turned out that this Bihai Palace was reserved for your dragon clan. When Qingluan comes back, he can live there too. This time the East China Sea Shark, Those who come are not good, I need you." Nalan Fengjin said.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is our clan's responsibility to protect you." Xiao Bailong said.
Nalan Fengjin nodded: "Where is the Poseidon?"
Xiao Bailong pointed his finger at the sky. Nalan Fengjin nodded. Xiao Bailong retreated.
