Chapter 453: World situation is turbulent, political marriage. (Part )
"What's the ending?" Sun Shangxiang was slightly stunned. At the same time, her heart suddenly tightened.

If there was one thing the girl didn't want to think about the most in the past six months, it would be the future. Facing the complicated and unpredictable situation along the way, she had already lived like a frightened bird, and was tormented by the fear of gain and loss all day and all night.
And Lu Xun didn't rush to explain it clearly, but turned around and asked another question: "In your opinion, what does this world consist of? Soldiers, heroes, monsters? Most people might give such an answer, but it's not actually, at least these are not all."

Lu Xun said earnestly: "This world is much more complex than you can imagine. It is made up of vast lands and oceans. On it, there are not only heroes, soldiers, and monsters, but also magic, martial arts, ancient technology, food, economy, culture, Jixia, countries, states, and 22 Arkas! This is an interconnected world. A person, a sword, a grain of sand, and a blade of grass are all part of this world and none of them can be missing."

As Sun Shangxiang looked increasingly puzzled, Lu Xuner slowly explained, "Do you know why I'm telling you this? Because I hope you can learn to see the world more clearly with the eyes of a more far-sighted politician! Just like Wang Yao right now, not only you, but many people think that he has already ascended to the highest throne of the Three-Point Land, and his troops are strong and powerful, right? But in my opinion, he has only conquered the Three-Point Land on the surface."

"What, what do you mean?!" Sun Shangxiang's body trembled slightly, and her clear eyes looked at Lu Xun in shock.

Lu Xun said, "Don't you understand? Wang Yao seems to have integrated the forces of the Three-Division Land into a federal organization, but as one of the original pillars of the Three-Division Land, Shu has never expressed its willingness to submit to the federal army. Even the leader of Wei, Cao Cao, which is already a member of the federation, can you guarantee that he is 22% loyal to Wang Yao? However, the most important thing is, as the economic lifeline of the entire continent, those ancient and wealthy Alka families entrenched in various places, have you seen anyone express their loyalty to Wang Yao? Why? Do you know?"

Sun Shangxiang was so simple-minded that she naturally couldn't figure out the reason, so Lu Xun gave his own opinion: "Although you are simple by nature, you actually have a delicate side. I don't believe that you don't know what kind of monster the federal army will face!"

Lu Xun said: "Even if we defeat Xuan Yong, even if we repel the black and white chess, what does it matter? The foundation of Jixia Academy is still intact, the huge system built by the three great sages of Jixia is still there, and the relationship network connecting the entire world is still there. The defeated enemy heroes can continue to be resurrected, and the heroes who are insufficient can be recreated! And what about the federal army? They are always in a passive situation of being alone and helpless! I can even assert that if Wang Yao, the lord of the federation, unfortunately dies, then this army will immediately fall apart!
Why didn't anyone from the 22 Alka families pledge allegiance to the Federation? Because in essence, they knew better than anyone how terrifying Jixia Academy was! As long as Wang Yao didn't obtain the ancient power that was enough to permanently destroy a hero once and for all, he would never be able to truly defeat Jixia Academy! Similarly, do you think it's possible for someone who doesn't actually get the support of the local middle-level forces to succeed?
Therefore, Alka and the others were silent, but they would not take the initiative to offend the Federation. To put it bluntly, they were just watching the fight from the mountain! They were all silently waiting for the result. If Wang Yao could win by chance, they would join him. But what if the Federation Army lost? For them, it would just be another record of "The Devil King's Turbulent Times" in the history books in the future. No matter who wins or loses, it doesn't matter to them!"

After a sharp analysis of the overall situation, Lu Xun gave his final opinion: "War is essentially not just a confrontation of force, but also an economic battle between the two sides. After all, no matter how determined the soldiers are, they still have to have basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Without the strong financial support of the Alka family, how long do you think the legion can last relying solely on ideals and beliefs? In my opinion, it can only last for a year at most!"

At this point, Lu Xun's expression suddenly changed again: "So, Wang Yao has actually been just gambling! He is taking a risky gamble. He is betting that the forces of the world can destroy and replace Jixia Academy as quickly as possible before they oppose him. He is betting that he can defeat the three great sages before the enemy heroes he defeated are resurrected! Time is extremely unfavorable to him. He himself has not even realized that he has begun to get anxious. The massacre that occurred on the river bank is the best evidence!"

Finally, Lu Xun's tone softened. He looked at the girl and asked, "Speaking of this, do you understand why the lord and the old lady want you to leave the federation immediately?"

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but for some reason, the air felt colder than ever before.
Just like Sun Shangxiang's voice at this moment.

"Because all the Alka families are unanimously pessimistic about the resistance of the Federation Army. That's why Brother Quan wants me, a member of the royal family, to leave the Federation. This is to avoid the Jiangdong royal family being implicated if the Federation fails. Am I right?"

"Yes." Lu Xun nodded coldly: "But it's not entirely right. At least, the lord did not let Gongjin and Xiaoqiao leave the federation. They didn't even know about it. After all, the federation still has a little chance of winning. The preliminary estimate is that the winning rate should be around 7%. If Wang Yao can really replace Jixia Academy, then because of the existence of Zhou Gongjin and others, we in Jiangdong will naturally be one of the heroes after the war. On the contrary, even if we fail in the end, because of your departure, the royal family will naturally not be implicated too much. At most, it will be regarded as a lack of strict control over the subordinates."

"."Sun Shangxiang was silent. She lowered her head slightly, bit her lips silently, and let her soft bangs cover her eyes. What a lax control of subordinates. What she meant was that as long as she, the royal family, left, if the federal army failed in the future, Zhou Gongjin and his men would be considered as rebels who "acted on their own initiative". On the contrary, if the federal army won, they would also be Jiangdong's chips for success!
脏.
So dirty!

For the first time, the girl discovered that the world was so dirty!

At this moment, she once again deeply realized how heavy the burden on Wang Yao's shoulders was, and realized that from the beginning to the end, he had been fighting the whole world alone! What he had to face was not only the enemies on the battlefield, but also the countless forces coveting him behind the scenes!
Behind the seemingly integrated Three-Third Land, the internal forces are actually intertwined. Even if the hero submits to him, the Alka family who controls the actual economy and discourse power can only watch from the sidelines.

Compared to Wang Yao, many people in the Alka family actually don't want to change the world, because they are originally the vested interests within the Jixia system. Change means that their original interests may be affected, but at the same time they are very insidious and don't confront them head-on, but just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then wait for an opportunity to find ways to reap the benefits!
They neither want to pay nor change, but they all want to be rewarded as the final winner. They have no dreams at all and are just a bunch of maggots attached to a corrupt system!
At this moment, Sun Shangxiang really wanted to shout these words out hysterically, but in the end, she remained silent, which was uncharacteristic of hers.

Because what would happen even if I scolded these villains harshly?

In this battle for interests without the smoke of gunpowder, what can a woman do? The world is full of ups and downs, and people's hearts are unpredictable. In the face of the huge family interests, what can she do?
Could she, for the sake of the person she loved, put the entire family behind her in dire straits without any concern? Could she bear this responsibility? What else could she do?
Seeing that the girl fell into silence for a long time, Lu Xun looked at her painfully furrowed brows and could only sigh helplessly.

Lu Xun knew that Sun Shangxiang was very sad at the moment, because she would rather die than implicate her family. Lu Xun also knew that this crazy girl had actually fallen in love with the leader of the Federation a long time ago. Lu Xun also knew that this girl he had watched grow up seemed to be naughty and arrogant, but in fact she was just a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
At this moment, Lu Xun had to admit his own cruelty and meanness, because he relied on his familiarity with the girl and ruthlessly gave her a choice that she actually had no choice at all.

But so what? As a descendant of an emperor, he is destined to never live just for himself. In front of the entire royal family and the interests of the family, what does this petty love matter?

So, in the end, Lu Xun just walked over and patted the girl's shoulder gently: "Let's go, girl, you don't belong here. Your mother is still waiting for you in Jiangdong. That's where you should settle down."

However, Lu Xun then found that he could not pull the girl.

Under Lu Xun's slightly surprised gaze, Sun Shangxiang gently raised her head, and her beautiful eyes had already turned slightly red.

"Uncle Boyan, before I leave, I want to say goodbye to him, is that okay?"
