Chapter 137 Alliance Expansion (Subscription Request)

Jingping Marquis Mansion, Garden

Lu Youlan was in a daze in the garden as usual.

Her way of practicing is very special, which is to just sit in a quiet place and daydream.

For her, daydreaming is a form of spiritual practice.

However, Young Marquis Lu Ce had just returned from suppressing the tenants' rebellion. He was shocked when he received the news:
"Youlan, do you agree to marry Lord Longcheng?"

This is too fast.

You have only met once. Could it be that Chu Wujiang used some magical power?

Lu Youlan tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying:
"It's not that I agree, it's that I want it."

"I took the initiative to mention it to my father."

Lu Ce was shocked and asked quickly:

"Why."

Aren't you approaching the state of supreme oblivion, where even your eldest brother doesn't care much about you?
Lu Youlan did not hide anything, a smile appeared on her face:
“Because I feel excited.”

"Very comfortable."

Lu Ce was shocked. He had never seen his sister smile before. She always looked very quiet and didn't seem very energetic.

Her biggest hobby is to just sit in the garden and be like a plant.

Now Lu Ce felt that he had lost, miserably.

He is not a sister-con, but he asked Chu Wujiang to accomplish something within one day that he himself could not do.

Lu Ce murmured:
"Is he really human?"

Lu Youlan replied obediently:
"It should be considered. He is very handsome. He dares to face the evil god without fear."

"You said so, Mei'er."

[Yes, yes, you are right.]

The daughter of the furious ghost king now felt that her life as a ghost was dark and gloomy. She suddenly didn't want to live anymore and had lost all hope.

Lu Ce felt very upset, and suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly:

"Youlan, don't use Lord Longcheng as a tool to prove your truth."

"That's going to be a disaster!"

"The Chu family's influence is now greater than that of my father!"

Originally, Lu Ce thought that since the two of them might not necessarily end up together, it didn’t matter if they showed some true feelings.

Just like Lu Ce had a commoner woman he liked before, and in the end, he arranged a marriage with her according to his family's instructions.

Once the two sides come together, they cannot act willfully, especially when the Chu family is rising at an astonishing momentum, they cannot do such things.

Lu Youlan nodded:
"I see."

"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be blue every night because of the blue sea and blue sky."

"So I won't."

There are many martial arts in the Biluo Fairy Palace, the most special of which is "The Art of Bi Hai Qing Tian", which has three realms: affectionate, heartless, and forgetful.

Lu Youlan's reverse practice of martial arts, from forgetting all emotions and being ruthless all the way to having emotional state, made her stand out from the crowd.

……

"My daughter practiced the "Blue Sea Love Art", from being heartless, to forgetting love, and finally practicing to being affectionate."

"It's a rare occasion that she's moved, so I have no choice but to be shameless and ask Lord Longcheng."

"As for the dowry, it is not a problem at all. Lord Longcheng does not need to worry."

Marquis Jingping introduced his daughter very enthusiastically, and Chu Wujiang had a good impression of Lu Youlan.

When facing the evil god, she dared to fight for her life. Her courage is better than her appearance.

What's more, if you want to find a woman more beautiful than her in Longzhou, the only one at the moment is Huo Qiu Shui.

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:
"This alliance between the three companies may cause some problems."

Originally the three companies seemed to be in balance, but now the balance has been completely broken.

This will cause the Huo family to have doubts and may even introduce new forces.

Jingping Hou smiled in response. He knew that the matter was half done, so he added:
"Lord Longcheng, don't worry at all. We can bring in the Earl of Weiyuan, other Viscount families, and even the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion."

"For us, the land of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is not of much significance."

"But the Marquis of Zhenhai really needs it. We can sell them a portion and use it to unite with the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion."

"After all, Lord Longcheng has reconciled with the Zhenhai Marquisate."

"This will also reduce the Huo family's fear."

"In the past, an alliance of three families was necessary. We only need to expand the alliance, and such a marriage will become inevitable."

As expected of the Marquis of Jingping, what he said made so much sense. Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment, and found no room for refusal. As long as he could appease the Huo family's emotions, he had enough trump cards to make the Huo family accept it.

In this way, the Longzhou nobles alliance was initially formed. Even if the King of Donghai gave an order, he would have to ask Chu Wujiang for his consent first.

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and said:
"Miss Lu is the pearl of the Lu family. She is virtuous, talented and beautiful. It is a great honor for the Chu family to marry into your family."

"After a few days, Chu will send a matchmaker to ask for the bride price."

Although Marquis Jingping discussed privately and reached a consensus, the marriage between the two families was a major event that should be initiated by the man. It should be formalized from the beginning with the proposal of marriage and the name of the bride, and sufficient respect should be maintained for the woman.

Too many bad things have happened in Longzhou these days, and a happy event is needed to dilute the atmosphere of death.

Of course, their wedding will not be held in a short time, at least we have to wait until Longzhou stabilizes again.

The two sides have reached a tentative agreement.

"So good."

"My daughter will return to the Biluo Immortal Palace to practice in a while. We just need to set a date for the wedding first."

Marquis Jingping left with satisfaction.

The old butler also had a gratified expression on his face.

After all, the most outstanding women in Longzhou are basically Hong Yanling, Lu Youlan, and Huo Qiu Shui. Although there are women of the right age in the East Sea Palace, they are much inferior in talent and appearance.

Taking all factors into consideration, Lu Youlan will closely integrate the Chu family and the Lu family, which is also the best choice at present.

The old butler added two more sentences:
"Don't worry, Master."

"The Lu family and the Chu family are fairly evenly matched. If Miss Lu has some problems, the head of the family can also take in a concubine to solve the problem."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and smiled:
"Uncle Fu, I'm not thinking about that."

Another reason why he didn't want to get married was that if he didn't resolve the Ten Deaths within twenty years, he would be doomed to die.

Even whether there will be problems with one's offspring is still an unknown.

Although he believed he could solve it, he still took one step at a time.

However, as long as the two are careful about their marriage, it shouldn't have much of an impact.

The old housekeeper asked curiously:
"Then what the Patriarch meant is..."

Chu Wujiang shook his head, not intending to answer this question, and said softly:

"Next, please invite Master Huo in."

The order in which he called people was related to the closeness of their relationship. The Lu family and the Huo family were both friendly forces with a relatively close relationship, so they would naturally be summoned first. The others would just wait in line.

Huo Qiu Shui didn't know about Chu Wujiang's marriage, but when she saw Jingping Hou leave with a happy face, she could roughly guess the changes in the two families.

She couldn't help feeling a bit strange, and some thoughts came to her mind:
[If it was me who accompanied him this time, perhaps the Chu and Lu families would not have married.]

[No, I am the head of the family, and marriage is impossible.]

Huo Qiushui's mind was filled with thoughts. Chu Wujiang sat in the main seat and said softly:
"Master Huo, I was busy just now. Please forgive me for the delay."

Huo Qiushui quickly saluted and said:

"You are too polite, Lord Longcheng."

"This time, thanks to the Yellow Turban Warriors sent by the Lord, the Huo family was able to turn danger into safety after encountering several evil spirits."

"The Huo family owes Lord Long Cheng another favor."

The evil god's whispers caused some already powerful ghosts to rapidly transform and even break through to become evil ghosts.

One of them still had some hatred towards the Huo family, so he instigated other evil spirits to go to the Huo family to cause trouble.

It happened that Tian Gang Zhenren sent out some yellow turban warriors to scare away the evil spirits.

Otherwise, even if the Huo family can survive this disaster, they will suffer heavy losses.

Chu Wujiang said politely:

"These are just a few trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

Huo Qiushui bit her lip lightly and shook her head:
"A favor is a favor. This time, I came here not only to repay you, but also to tell you something important."

"Nangong Hen is still alive, and has gained huge benefits from the evil god summoning ceremony."

Chu Wujiang was shocked when he heard this.

It is not surprising that Nangong Hen did not die. In the narration told by Xuanqiong Xingguan, there was no mention of him killing the other party.

But what’s strange is how the Huo family suddenly found out.

Chu Wujiang guessed:

"Mr. Qin said that?"

Huo Qiushui nodded and said:

"Yes, after the evil god ritual was stopped, the old man seemed to regret it."

"He asked me to bring the hero flag and give it to you."
