Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 9: The Qin-Jin Alliance
What is the goal of the Jingping Marquis Mansion?
Get a share of the spoils from the Chu family's downfall.

As a result, Chu Wujiang did not play by the rules. After the other party tested him, he first decisively suppressed him and squeezed him for compensation. When the young marquis was about to reach his limit, he proposed an alliance.

The speed of change is overwhelming.

【To get married or not? 】

The young marquis couldn't calm down for a moment. He pursed his thin lips and fell into deep thought.

[No, this matter...]

Chu Wujiang smiled faintly and said:

"Young Marquis, you can ask Marquis Jingping."

"I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter."

【What a scary guy. 】

【I was completely seen through.】

Lu Ce took a deep breath, cheered himself up and said:

"Lord Longcheng is right. In my opinion, I absolutely do not want to be your enemy."

"Lu will report this to my father right away."

In order to show his sincerity, Chu Wujiang released the old servant in black robe on the spot.

Because of the young marquis’s statement, it shows that there is a possibility of cooperation between the two families.

The Chu family is weak now and does not have the qualifications to do anything extreme.

After the young marquis left, Chu Wujiang said calmly:
"Uncle Fu, I have something for you."

"Master, please give me your instructions."

"Check to see if it was done by the Marquis of Zhenhai."

"Yes, son."

Even if the young marquis said yes, Chu Wujiang didn't have to believe it.

……

Jingping Hou, Living Room
Lu Ce knelt on one knee and whispered:
"My child is incompetent. Please punish me, father."

Marquis Jingping was very strict in managing his household, and even his own children were trained in a military manner.

After listening to the whole story, he stroked his beard and said:
"Did he really say that?"

Lu Ce said with great shame:
"Yes, I dare not make the decision on my own. I hope my father will make the final decision."

The original intention was just to test the actual situation of the Chu Mansion, but it changed the Jingping Marquis Mansion from a detached attitude to one with two options: enemy or friend of the Chu family.

Jingping Hou said calmly:
"Cer, you have done an excellent job. This was an accident, so I won't punish you."

"Chu Feiyang gave birth to a good son."

"I will agree to all his conditions and even double them to promote the marriage between our two families."

Lu Ce knelt on the ground in shock and said quickly:
"Father, he is trying to use the Lu family as a shield!"

"The Marquis of Zhenhai will regard the Lu family as a thorn in his side."

"Besides, there are other families!"

Marquis Jingping asked back:
“Are we afraid then?”

My dear father, this is not a question of whether you are afraid or not.

The effort and benefits are totally disproportionate.

Lu Ce held up his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.

He felt there was some deeper meaning that he didn't understand.

Marquis Jingping said leisurely:

"Now the Chu family only has one child left."

"Either we kill him and share the Chu family's inheritance, or we cooperate with him and share the glory of the Chu family's revival."

"Since he is so smart, give him a chance."

"If Chu Wujiang can successfully inherit the position of Longcheng County Magistrate within two years, I will marry my daughter to him."

Lu Ce was horrified. He ignored the pressure from Marquis Jingping and immediately objected:
"Father, this is absolutely not possible."

"Chu Wujiang has a fate of ten deaths, and will bring disaster to all his relatives!"

Jingping Hou said calmly:

"Hasn't he turned the corner?"

Lu Ce overcame the awe in his heart, he stood up and said:
“It’s something that cannot be determined.”

“Maybe the saying ‘after bad times come good times’ is fake!”

Jingping Hou chuckled and said:

"Then give it a try. You should know that rare goods are valuable!"

It's just the death of a daughter, no big deal.

Lu Ce clenched his teeth.

He couldn't be as cold-blooded and rational as his father, so he immediately stood up and retorted:
"Father, you can't use Youlan as a bargaining chip."

There are many descendants of the Marquis of Jingping, but the only woman suitable for marriage with Chu Wujiang is his sister, Lu Youlan, who is about to return from studying at the Biluo Fairy Palace.

The relationship between brother and sister is very good.

Jingping Hou glanced at his son and suppressed him with just one glance, saying dissatisfiedly:

"You have thin lips, why are you so soft-hearted?"

"Go get thirty military sticks later to improve your memory."

Lu Ce knelt on one knee, clenched his fists, lowered his head and said:
"Yes, Father."

Marquis Jingping then said with satisfaction:

"Let him survive first, and then you can worry about your sister's problem."

"Even if he overcomes the Ten Deaths, he still has the Martial Emperor's Curse. Go ahead."

……

Chu Mansion, Living Room

Chu Wujiang didn't expect that Marquis Jingping would agree so readily. Not only did he double the price of the elixir, he also added a blank check - to marry his daughter.

Haha, I would be a fool if I agreed.

Chu Wujiang quickly said seriously:
"Thank you for your high regard for me, Marquis Jingping." "It's a pity that I have a fate that will bring disaster to my family."

"Even if bad times turn into good times, we can't predict the fate of this, so we dare not harm others' lives in vain."

"It would be more appropriate to wait two years before agreeing on the marriage."

Of course, Chu Wujiang didn't say it so eloquently.

Some fathers-in-law will eventually wipe out the entire family.

The most successful father-in-law in Chinese history, Yang Jian, killed his son-in-law's entire family and became the founding emperor.

Now the master's family is weak but wealthy, yet they still look for such a strong father-in-law.

Don't you think you're not dying fast enough?
It was a pity that Lu Ce had just been beaten with thirty military sticks and looked much more haggard. He did not notice these thoughts. Instead, he looked at Chu Wujiang with a high opinion and pretended to be polite:
"Lord Longcheng has this idea, which should be a good match for my sister."

"In ten days, my sister will return to Longcheng, and I am willing to act as a bridge to connect her with him."

Even if you hold my sister’s hand, I won’t marry you even if you are a good match!

The two hypocritical men were polite to each other and said things that they didn't even believe.

Only then did they begin to discuss the specific conditions. They would exchange interests based on the marriage of the two servants.

For example, the Chu family gave a very generous betrothal gift to the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion for Lin Youwei's wedding.

There are manors, mountains, rivers, spiritual fields and so on.

The Chu family demanded a large amount of auspicious items as dowry.

Chu Wujiang personally inspected the dowries.

The Chu family is well-known for their love for auspicious things, so no one is surprised.

In order to show the sincerity of the Marquis of Jingping Mansion, the young marquis specially sent an auspicious item and said:
"Lord Longcheng, this treasure is said to be very auspicious, please be sure to accept it."

Chu Wujiang naturally would not refuse such a deal.

All in all, he didn't lose out.

After all, it is impossible to make the Marquis of Jingping put in a lot of effort and show a friendly attitude between the two sides just by empty words.

This friendly gesture may make the Zhenhai Marquisate think for a moment.

……

Chu Mansion, Outer Courtyard

Coach Wang patted Lin Youwei's shoulder gleefully, totally ignoring the fact that he was still lying on the hospital bed, causing him to scream in pain.

"Uncle Wang, please have mercy, please have mercy."

"I just came back from the tourney, oops."

Coach Wang was filled with envy and shouted loudly:

"Youwei, you have made great progress."

"The young master will be your matchmaker, and the Marquis of Jingping's mansion has agreed to your marriage."

ha?
Lin Youwei's mouth opened wide enough to fit a pineapple.

Young master, you are really fast in doing things.

……

It really works.

Chu Wujiang was certainly not concerned about his subordinates’ marriages. Instead, he closed his eyes and saw the changes in the Book of Death.

[Book Owner: Chu Wujiang]

[Fortune: The only son of a noble family (blue), uncle is like a father (green), Qin and Jin make an alliance (white), fratricide (gray), family business falls into decline (gray)]

After the two parties discussed the marriage, a new item was added to the fortune in the heavenly book.

[Alliance of Qin and Jin (White)]: [The marriage with ulterior motives formed a loose alliance, but it also made the enemy fearful and intimidated, and they dared not act rashly.]

Fortune is determined by external environment.

This means that you can determine your opponent's state based on the changes in luck.

Chu Wujiang seemed very satisfied with the information revealed by the Heavenly Book.

However, the old butler still reminded worriedly:
"My lord, Marquis Jingping and Marquis Zhenhai are both tigers and wolves."

"At the beginning, the old master was worried that the outside family would interfere, which made the old master choose the Xiao family."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I'm reflecting on myself."

"As long as the Jingping Marquis's Mansion can buy me some time, that's enough."

"The land that is given away now will be returned one day."

Even if he could buy himself a year, he could integrate resources to allow himself to break through the Yuandan realm and obtain a title officially recognized by the court.

The old butler saw that Chu Wujiang was still awake, and then he said with relief:
"I have already checked the Qianyuan Pill and the Dragon and Tiger Pill that the Jingping Marquis's Mansion sent just now. There is no problem."

"Just be careful when you take the pills, young master. Don't be greedy for a momentary pleasure."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Don't worry about the pills for now."

"Just now, the young marquis gave me something auspicious to show his sincerity."

"Uncle Fu, take it and have a look first."

The treasure that Chu Wujiang values ​​most is still luck, so during this alliance negotiation, he would exchange spiritual fields and manors for auspicious objects.

The Marquis of Jingping thought they had made a profit. Auspicious objects were only temporary wealth, while spiritual fields and manors were eternal assets.

Then they eat these things.

For Chu Wujiang, luck is the most precious treasure.

"Yes, son."

The old butler immediately asked someone to fetch the treasure, and Chu Wujiang smiled when he saw it.

"It turned out to be [Bin Lian]. This young marquis is really thoughtful."

The Chu family collected various auspicious signs, among which there was a lucky tree called [Binlian], which could bless the family to prosper, have many children and be blessed.

[150 points of white peach blossom luck detected. ]

[Is it transformed into luck and absorbed, or is it condensed into new luck? ]

Is this still a choice?
of course……
