Chapter 452: World situation is turbulent, political marriage. (Part )
".Eh? Huh?!!"
Accompanied by an incredible cry, a large number of roosting birds in the originally quiet wilderness were startled and flew away.
"You want me to leave the Federation and go back to Jiangdong?! Uh, wait a minute"
From the initial shock and doubt, Sun Shangxiang suddenly paused, and then asked: "Let's not talk about other things first, Uncle Boyan, what is this marriage?"
"." Lu Xun, who was originally quite serious, couldn't help but blush when he heard this.
From childhood to adulthood, Sun Shangxiang's cultural knowledge has always been a weakness. Speaking of which, this is also due to the fact that he was too pampered and indulged the girl since childhood. He should not have given in to the little girl's soft and hard nagging, resulting in him only teaching her to wield swords and guns and tinker with firearms all day long, and eventually she completely fell behind in cultural studies.
Alas, if a son is not taught well, it is the father's fault.
Shaking his head, Lu Xun then explained: "I want you to get married, to marry another son of the Alka family. Your brother's meaning is very clear, girl, you are already 19 years old this year, right? It is indeed time to talk about marriage."
A breeze blew across the wild area, causing a large number of dead leaves to flutter and fall.
Sun Shangxiang stood there in a daze, her beautiful eyes slightly widened. After a long while, she suddenly laughed, "Ahaha! Just get married, why use such a weird word?"
Then she suddenly frowned and responded to Lu Xun with only two words: "No marriage." ( ̄. ̄)
Are you kidding? How can a young lady obey her parents' orders and matchmaker's words? She didn't lose her temper on the spot because of her godfather's face. If it were someone else, they would probably throw a red lotus bomb at her first.
Perhaps this is why the Lord of Jiangdong specially sent Lu Xun here?
Lu Xun, who seemed not surprised at Sun Shangxiang's reaction, said, "Girl, this time is different. The target of this marriage is the son of the Lu family, whose status and power have risen sharply in the past two years. This lineage has a considerable say in the "Arka Conference Hall" in Sanfendi. In a sense, marrying them will be of great benefit to our Sun family's rule in Jiangdong."
Sun Shangxiang raised her eyebrows immediately: "Uncle Boyan, why do you say that too? Young Master Lu? Are you kidding?! Is he the slug who was playing in the mud in the corner when I was fighting the soldiers?"
Seeing Sun Shangxiang's disgusted look, Lu Xun could only cough dryly to hide his embarrassment: "It's him, no doubt."
But after a pause, Lu Xun said, "But girl, we can't just look at the surface of many things. Although this Lu family son is not a dragon or phoenix among men, but in time, with the strength and status of their family, they will definitely be able to win a place in the future hero promotion quota. As long as we marry him now, then no matter whether this Lu family son or any descendant of their lineage is promoted to a hero in the future, this person is destined to become a hero under my Jiangdong forces!"
"Wait, wait, Uncle Boyan."
Sun Shangxiang frowned as she felt something was not right. She subconsciously asked, "You mean to ask me to marry that worthless young master of the Lu family just to help the Wu Kingdom win over a reserve hero?!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Lu Xun's expression became slightly serious. He corrected her, "We are all descendants of the 22 Alka families. We have the same noble bloodline and are well matched. How can we marry them?" "No." Even Sun Shangxiang began to get anxious at this time: "Did Brother Quan get kicked in the head by a donkey?! Mother is really something. She actually agreed to such a ridiculous thing?!"
Lu Xun lightly rebuked: "Don't talk nonsense! This is the final decision made after a long period of discussion within the royal family. In fact, the old lady did not agree, but..."
At this point, Lu Xun sighed slightly: "Girl, in life, you can't just seek to be free and easy, because many times you are not just living for yourself, you must know that you are also a member of the royal family, so even you must be prepared to make sacrifices for this family at any time!
Perhaps you are not aware that the Three-Point Land has actually been undercurrent for the past two years. You have been stubborn since childhood and have never cared about the political situation, but you must at least understand that if our Sun family does not find ways to strengthen its own clan power, then one day we may be replaced by the growing Alka family!
As a member of the royal family, can you bear to watch the entire family gradually decline or even be annexed? My lord, the old lady and the others are not sorry for you, but the situation forces them to do so! Speaking of which, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon. For thousands of years, the major Alka families have always been like this through marriage to form a common interest front. It is precisely because of this that many ancient families have been able to continue to this day in the chaos and turmoil."
Sun Shangxiang was stunned.
She stared at Lu Xun in a daze, unable to speak for a long time, and her heart was in a mess in an instant!
No one knew how much she wished Wang Yao could be by her side at this moment.
But at least, at this moment the girl seemed to finally understand something.
It is said that the royal family is the most ruthless, but it was not until today that she realized for the first time that this was true. Although the royal family doted on her in every way, when the time came, she would have to make sacrifices for this so-called royal family, even if the price was her lifelong happiness.
When she thought of this, a layer of gloom quietly appeared in Sun Shangxiang's eyes.
"Then, Uncle Boyan, I want to ask, what do these things have to do with my need to leave the Federation?"
As if he hadn't noticed Sun Shangxiang's abnormality, Lu Xun explained, "That's what I'm going to talk about next."
As he spoke, Lu Xun turned around, looked up at the vast sky, and his eyes also showed an unusually sharp luster.
"Let's not talk about your marriage, let's just talk about the current federal army. Today's federal army can indeed be called the strongest army in Sanfendi. And now, even I have to admit that Wang Yao, who commands the federal army, is indeed a rare overlord and hero in the history. After all, no one would have thought that a mere soldier could actually defeat Cao Cao, who was known as the strongest in the Three Kingdoms. In the end, he conquered the entire Sanfendi in just 5 years by his own strength, and even took most of the heroic units in Sanfendi for his own use. Now even the overseas Fuso forces follow his lead. These achievements are amazing. It is no exaggeration to say that they are unprecedented and will never be repeated! It's just..."
At this point, Lu Xun suddenly turned around and looked at Sun Shangxiang with an extremely subtle expression, then said meaningfully: "As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, a pile that stands out on the shore will be washed away by the current, and a person who is superior to others will be criticized by the crowd! Girl, even though the federal army is now invincible and unstoppable, and even the entire Xuanyong Kingdom is no match for Wang Yao, have you ever thought about the problems he is facing now and the final outcome?"
