"Is this Lord Lin's personal proposal, or is it a proposal from His Majesty?" said Da Jingsi.

"This is my personal proposal, but I think His Majesty will also seriously consider it."

"Why?"

"Because everyone in the world knows that our two dynasties are planning a high-profile marriage. If we cannot achieve results in the marriage, it will be an unbearable burden for both dynasties. Therefore, we must make breakthroughs in other aspects."

Everyone looked at each other...

Yes, Lin Su’s final destination is still the reputation of the two dynasties.

Everybody is watching the show.

The high-profile marriage between the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty and Baiyujing would be a laughing stock if it failed.

Where is the face of the two dynasties?

Based on this, the best remedy is to take a step back and reach another marriage agreement.

Lin Su was honest enough.

Da Jingsi and others are not stupid either.

After thinking about it for seven or eight times, they also felt that Lin Su's new proposal was the best way to solve the problem at the moment...

Ji Yu of the Great Capital communicated with the elders through telepathy, and slowly raised his head after a long while: "Lord Lin's proposal needs to be discussed with our dynasty, and Lord Lin probably also needs to discuss it with your Majesty. How about we discuss it again in three days?"

"That's natural!"

Da Jingsi stood up, bowed and left.

Lin Su, Du Dongliu and Ji Qianling bowed and saw him off.

The sweat on Deputy Commander Zhang Liekong's back had only dried up at this moment.

At the beginning, he really smelled the crisis.

But Lin Su said a few words and the crisis was gone.

Therefore, negotiations still have to be conducted by civil officials. This is what the commander-in-chief thinks...

The three wedding envoys looked at each other and returned to the guest house at the same time. Du Dongliu said, "Lord Lin, you suddenly proposed this proposal. Did you ask His Majesty for permission beforehand?"

"Master Du, you have also seen how abrupt the situation is today. When have we ever had the opportunity to ask for instructions?" Lin Su said, "Of course I did not ask for instructions in advance."

"Then... then you are committing treason!" Du Dongliu's face changed drastically.

"There is nothing we can do about treason!" Lin Su sighed, "This is how negotiations work in the world. Things have reached a dead end, and we must take the initiative in the situation. If I don't make a new proposal, they will definitely make one. No matter what they propose, it will put us in a dilemma."

"Master Lin is right!" Ji Qianling said, "This is to turn passivity into initiative!"

Du Dongliu raised his head and sighed: "Please ask His Majesty for instructions!"

A ray of light lit up in the room.

Directly to the Immortal Emperor.

This is Du Dongliu's direct communication, which actually conveys a lot of interesting things, but Lin Su's Ji Qianling chose to ignore it.

What's interesting about this place?

This marriage was arranged by Lin Su.

However, the deputy envoy has the authority to communicate directly with His Majesty, but Lin Su himself does not.

What does it mean?
This means that Du Dongliu is the confidant that His Majesty has placed in this team.

However, there is no need to point out this matter, after all, there are explanations: Du Dongliu was not granted direct access authority just because of this marriage, he is a senior official in the court and has been able to communicate directly with His Majesty for a long time...

His Majesty sat in the study with a gloomy face.

Beside him was Xie Dong.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Lin Su and the other two bowed together.

His Majesty waved his hand gently: "Do you all know the situation?"

Lin Su said: "Your Majesty, just now the Baiyujing Dajingsi led the Baiyujing's twenty-one high-level elders and came here aggressively..."

Both His Majesty and Xie Dong's eyelids twitched slightly.

"How does Lord Lin answer?" His Majesty asked.

"..."

Lin Su reported every word he had said to the other party.

The gloom on His Majesty's face gradually faded.

Even though the incident happened suddenly, Lin Su's reaction was remarkable. His words were firm and sincere, and at the same time, he did not damage the reputation of the Immortal Dynasty in the slightest.

It is truly difficult to get through such a crisis safely.

"Although the incident happened suddenly, Lin Qingzhi handled it appropriately!" His Majesty nodded gently: "Not bad!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Su said, "Although the other party's tone has become more conciliatory, the crisis is not over yet. There are signs that they will propose one or more harsh conditions that our dynasty will never agree to. Therefore, I, your humble servant, have the audacity to go beyond the rules and put forward a new proposal first. I apologize to Your Majesty first!"

His Majesty frowned slightly: "Tell me!"

"I propose that we build a communication channel between the two dynasties based on Xihe City, fully relax civil control, and allow people from the two dynasties to marry and trade with each other."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Ji Qianling's heart was pounding.

Will this proposal be approved by Your Majesty?

If possible, the proposal will become the royal will of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty.

If not, Lin Su would be violating the rules and committing the crime of usurpation - a word that all emperors of all dynasties are taboo about.

Will Your Majesty approve?

This is damn boring...

After a long while, His Majesty slowly spoke: "Tell me what you think!"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Su said, "I think this move will achieve three goals at once! First, it can eliminate the shadow of this marriage to the greatest extent, and give everyone a result of the marriage when the whole world is paying close attention to it. Second, the situation in Xihe City is special. Our dynasty and Ziqiwen Dynasty have occupied it in turn. To this day, the army of Ziqiwen Dynasty is eyeing Qingfeng Gorge and has the tendency to destroy Xihe City. If Baiyujing agrees to our proposal, it is undoubtedly equivalent to recognizing our dynasty's ownership of Xihe City. Ziqiwen Dynasty wants to attack Xihe again, which is actually an indirect attack on Baiyujing..."

Your Majesty's eyes lit up!

Xie Dong's eyes behind him suddenly lit up!
Lin Su's proposal seemed to be a compensation to Baiyujing (because Xihe City was the territory of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty, allowing Baiyujing to set up an institution here and open up a channel for marriage and trade would give Baiyujing a stronghold in the mortal world).

However, there is a mystery hidden in Lin Su's proposal.

It contains the strategic thinking of the game between major dynasties.

As soon as this agreement is signed, Baiyujing will recognize at the highest level that "Xihe City belongs to the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty."

Ziqi Wenchao wanted to take over Xihe City again. The team he surrounded included not only Dongyu Xianchao but also Baiyujing!

Which side does Bai Yujing stand on?
We can only stand on the side of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty.

This is why Lin Su chose Xihe City as the location for the two-party agreement.

The key point is not the marriage itself, but the mystery of the address.

"What's your third idea?" His Majesty asked.

Lin Su said: "The third point involves the fundamental difference between our dynasty and Baiyujing! Whether it is marriage or trade, our dynasty has more advantages than Baiyujing."

"Where is the fundamental difference?" The Immortal Emperor's eyes lit up.

Lin Su said: "The difference lies in the different foundations of the two dynasties. Our dynasty is based on hundreds of billions of people and millions of miles of territory, while Baiyujing is based on people, wealth and super skills. Marriage is about connecting talents, connecting goods, and connecting skills. Therefore, given time, our dynasty can assimilate Baiyujing, but Baiyujing cannot assimilate our dynasty."

The five people present were all moved.

Yes, Lin Su’s three ideas were all for the great cause of the Immortal Dynasty.

Look at the long term, and there are mysteries hidden.

The biggest mystery lies in the layout of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty against Baiyujing.

Lin Su used the word assimilation.

Once assimilated, the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty may even annex Baiyujing.

Why?

Because Baiyujing's situation is very special, it has unrivaled high-end skills and is full of talented people, but its shortcoming is: it is an alien force and its roots are not in the mortal world.

By cooperating with such a force, Baiyujing can slowly absorb its skills and talents during the cooperation, but Baiyujing cannot absorb the core foundation of the Eastern Domain Immortal Dynasty, because the core foundation of the Eastern Domain Immortal Dynasty is the vast territory and the numerous people, which Baiyujing cannot occupy. Even if it can, it cannot occupy it at all - once it occupies these worldly things, it will lose its biggest advantage: high-end and transcendent.

Therefore, the agreement between the two parties is not an equal agreement at all, but an agreement tailored to the particularities of the two parties and beneficial to the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty.

Not only Ji Qianling was full of admiration, even Du Dongliu, who had always been a bit of a pedant, was also broadened his horizons.

His Majesty's heartbeat accelerated. He was really anxious and worried, but Lin Su's suggestion made him feel excited, which should not exist at this moment...

The two sides have different foundations for their rule.

The same thing had completely different impacts on the two dynasties.

The seemingly completely equal agreement actually produced a much greater effect on the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty than on Baiyujing.

What is this called?
Words from a patriot!

The Immortal Emperor said slowly: "Bai Yujing will also be able to interpret the mystery you mentioned, so, can they agree?"

"Your Majesty, please authorize me to give it a try."

"Okay! The matter of the third prince's marriage will be sealed, and we will do our best to make it happen!" said His Majesty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The call ended and the room became quiet.

Du Dongliu bowed lightly: "Master Lin is very adaptable and has a broad mind. I admire you! Please tell me how to persuade Bai Yujing."

Lin Su smiled gently: "Master Du, don't worry. I have already made a plan. Next, we will proceed steadily. Master Du, just wait for good news."

Du Dongliu bowed again: "Everything depends on Master Lin!"

The three of them went back to their rooms.

Lin Su had just sat down when the door rang and Ji Qianling walked in holding a plate. Lin Su stared at the plate in her hand and frowned...

"Don't worry! This is a water spirit bird that our Pig brought himself! It's not something we found locally." Ji Qianling smiled.

"It seems that we are really getting closer and closer to each other. We are all worried that the girl will roast the spiritual objects in Baiyujing."

"Compared to the big things we have done, some spiritual objects are not under consideration. But if we really do this, it will obviously bring shame to Baiyujing. Don't worry, this girl still has some dignity." Ji Qianling raised his hand and placed the water bird on the coffee table. At the same time, with a buzzing sound, the night fluorescent lamp lit up.

Night fluorescent lights have now become a must-have item for home and travel.

Especially when it comes to important matters, you must light the night fluorescent lamp first.

Under the fluorescent lights at night, they still did not speak, but communicated through their spiritual consciousness, which was another layer of insurance.

"You said that there are rules to persuade Bai Yujing to accept your plan." Ji Qianling asked: "What kind of rules are they? How do they work?"

"What rules are there? I was just lying to that old man."

"Ah? Lie to him? Why would you lie to him?"

"Doesn't this show that this matter is not easy? Only when difficult things are accomplished can it show that I, the handsome Lin, have fulfilled my duties and earned the respect of my colleagues and the recognition of His Majesty, right?"

Ji Qianling was very surprised: "You mean, this is actually very easy? You are even sure that Bai Yujing will agree?"

"Of course!"

"You analyzed three reasons for His Majesty, all of which are beneficial to the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty, so His Majesty was pleased to hear them. However, Bai Yujing is not a fool. They may not be able to see the mystery of your three reasons. If they see it... why do they have to fall into your trap?"

"Because this proposal hits exactly what they need!"

need!
This is the key!
But Ji Qianling didn't understand: "What does Bai Yujing need?"

"Baiyujing is isolated in the sky. If it doesn't want to be lonely, it obviously needs to set up a stable and controllable channel in the human world to fully publicize Baiyujing's high-end status, attract thousands of talents, solve the problem of common goods among the clan, and solve the hidden dangers in the bloodline at the same time."

After hearing the first few sentences, Ji Qianling nodded...

Baiyujing, which is isolated in the sky, is obviously unwilling to be lonely, otherwise, it would not make such a big fuss in these secular immortal dynasties.

If there is a stable and reliable channel for recruiting disciples, forming marriages, and exchanging goods, it will be a great thing for it.

But when Lin Su finished his last sentence, Ji Qianling was shocked: "Hidden danger in the bloodline? Hidden danger in Bai Yujing's bloodline?"

Lin Su nodded gently: "Maybe!"

"possible?"

"Baiyujing has marriage agreements with the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty and the Purple Qi Wen Dynasty, with 10,000 people each year. Think about it, why is this?"

Ji Qianling pondered for a long time: "Everyone's explanation is: Baiyujing sent a friendly signal to the two major immortal dynasties, so it gave preferential treatment to the two dynasties by "marrying down" and "marrying down."

"This is everyone's explanation! What's your explanation?" Lin Su said.

Ji Qianling said: "My explanation is of course much more complicated. Marriage is different from ordinary payment for goods. Marriage will bring in different tribes. Bai Yujing can use marriage to spread his spies in various immortal dynasties, so that he can have people in various lines."

The former is a superficial interpretation, or an official article.

The latter is Machiavellian thinking.

Lin Su nodded gently: "Senior sister is indeed a political strategist, what she said is very true, my original interpretation is also here, but since I saw a record in Wenyuan Book Pavilion, my thoughts have deviated."

"What records?" Ji Qianling asked.

"Three thousand years ago, there were two superpowers in the entire Immortal Realm, one in the south and one in the north. The southern one was called the Time and Space Temple, and the northern one was called Baiyujing. At that time, Baiyujing was on par with the Time and Space Temple! They crushed all the major immortal sects and dynasties."

Ji Qianling raised his head, his eyes sparkling. "This record is not only in Wenyuan Book Pavilion, but has long been recognized by the world. What you mean is... Baiyujing has fallen?"

"Yes! Senior Sister, don't you think it's strange?"

Ji Qianling nodded deeply: "Yes, it is indeed very strange. Baiyujing has never experienced war and has not suffered a catastrophe like the Temple of Time and Space. Logically speaking, after the Temple of Time and Space was destroyed, Baiyujing should be the only one in power. However, from our perspective, Baiyujing's strength has declined quite a bit. At best, it can only compete with an immortal dynasty. What's the problem?"

"I have analyzed the geniuses of Baiyujing and was surprised to find that the physiques of Baiyujing's pure descendants are becoming more and more extreme, and there are more and more examples of them being incompatible with the Heavenly Dao, so that many of his descendants have begun to adopt the unconventional 'Heavenly Dao to make up for the deficiencies'." Lin Su said: "On another level, in the past 800 years, many geniuses have more or less carried some of Baiyujing's bloodline, and are the descendants of Baiyujing's annual 10,000-person marriage."

Ji Qianling pondered: "Pure blood is incompatible with the way of heaven, and impure blood produces many geniuses. Therefore, you concluded that Bai Yujing's bloodline hidden danger needs to be solved through marriage."

Lin Su nodded gently: "Yes!"

"It's so strange and hard to understand. Generally speaking, the purer the bloodline, the better one can inherit the ancestral heritage. Therefore, those ancient top clans all use bloodline as the basis for stratifying their disciples."

“Ancient clans?” Lin Su smiled. “The top clans you mentioned originally numbered hundreds, but how many are left now? The True Dragon Clan and the True Phoenix Clan are probably the best representatives. There are almost no people left in the True Dragon Clan now. The tenth generation ancestor of the True Phoenix Clan broke the rules and embraced all rivers, which allowed the True Phoenix Clan to get out of the vicious circle of decline!”

Yes, there are only a few of the ancient great clans left now. Is it because they are not strong?

How can it be?

But why can’t we go on now?

"What kind of knowledge is there in this?" Ji Qianling asked.

Lin Su shook his head gently: "There must be knowledge, but at this stage, you can't understand it..."

What kind of knowledge?
biology!
Genetics!
Not to mention that people in this world cannot understand it, even in the world where these two disciplines exist, how many people really understand it?
Organisms are inherited through genes.

If the gene series is too single and too similar, it will be dangerous for any species. If an ancestor lacks a certain gene, his descendants will lose this gene forever. If a generation lacks a certain gene, the genetic process will constantly subtract but not add. Over time, a pattern of "incestuous marriage" will be formed.

It is highly likely that a fool will be born from a marriage between close relatives.

In this world, there are all kinds of spiritual creatures and talents. Fools and the disabled can be effectively changed, but no one can make up for the defects in their spiritual talents.

Ji Qianling rolled her eyes at him for a long time, but Lin Su didn't notice and just pretended that he hadn't been looked down upon.

Forget it. Ji Qianling shook his head to shake off the anger of being despised: "Forget it, I am too lazy to ask whether you understand this profound knowledge. I just want to ask one thing. If you only focus on improving your physique through marriage, you still have a huge loophole."

"what?"

"The marriage agreement has been signed. Baiyujing can definitely increase the marriage quota. As long as they propose to increase it, I believe the monarchs of the two immortal dynasties will be overjoyed. What reason do they have to use your base to realize the self-union of the people?"

Lin Su said: "Because the current agreement has drawbacks!"

"What kind of drawbacks?"

"The people for the marriage alliance are the names listed by His Majesty, and the people on the list are all those selected by His Majesty." Lin Su said: "According to my method, the marriage partner is an uncertain person and an uncertain race. If you were Bai Yujing, which method would you choose?"

A level 10 typhoon swept through Ji Qianling’s heart.

Standing there in a daze.

This is the fundamental reason why this agreement will definitely be adopted by Bai Yujing.

If there really is a hidden danger in Bai Yujing's bloodline that cannot be eliminated without neutralization with people from the outside world, then they naturally want to be free to choose, and definitely do not want them to accept the group of pigs (breeding pigs or sows) sent by Your Majesty.

These "pigs" all bear the obvious mark of His Majesty.

Once too many people enter Baiyujing, it will be easy for Your Majesty to form a sphere of influence inside Baiyujing.

This is a taboo for any force.

Therefore, the two great immortal dynasties controlled the total amount of marriages and did not dare to increase the amount at all.

And the most important thing is that among the people selected by Your Majesty, there will definitely not be any truly excellent seeds. The excellent seeds have already been kept by Your Majesty himself.

More importantly, the selection of students in the imperial system is still very narrow. Those races that are hostile to or have conflicts with the dynasty cannot enter this door at all.

However, in an open city with open rules, the situation is completely different. There is no need for selection by the dynasty. People will naturally come here at night. The more talented they are, the more willing they are to try their luck.

Racial diversity has thus entered a virtuous circle.

You can’t block all the geniuses.

Bai Yujing is not a fool, how could they give up such a wonderful child?
Plot against people and their hearts.

This is Lin Su’s plan!
The angle at which he stands is never a fixed angle.

He persuaded His Majesty and took His Majesty's side.

Thinking about Bai Yujing, he completely stood on Bai Yujing's side.

Therefore, his proposal will be fully implemented!

Two days later!
The third meeting!
Da Jingsi was all smiles, and the spring breeze seemed to have returned to the guest room again.

"Lord Lin, my lord has received a letter from your majesty. The marriage between princes has its pros and cons. It is not the best way for the two dynasties to get together. However, Lord Lin's suggestion is considered feasible by both monarchs. Why don't we sign an agreement today and make it a done deal?"

Lin Su smiled: "Da Jingsi, please!"

The agreement was generated and took effect immediately. Lin Su was sent as an envoy to Baiyujing, and the original settings were completely changed.

The marriage between the prince and the princess was called off and a new agreement was reached.

This agreement is called the "Xihe Agreement".

"Lord Lin has only been in our capital for three days. I believe he would like to have a look around. Why not let Qijingzi accompany him to see the customs of our capital?" said Dajingsi.

Lin Su smiled: "Then I'll have to trouble Qi Jingzi."

Jingzi, the prince, this Jingzi was Ji Su, the special envoy of Baiyujing that day. He was present at the first reception banquet when Lin Su entered Baiyujing.

Ji Su smiled at Lin Su and said, "The next part is not official business, but just a leisure trip. Lord Lin, you and I don't have to address each other by our official positions. How about we address each other as brothers?"

Du Dongliu and Ji Qianling's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

Is this the charm of a genius in literature and art?

He actually took the initiative to let the Seventh Prince address him as brother?
Lin Su smiled: "Brother Ji, how can I accept your kindness?"

Ji Suxi smiled happily: "Brother Lin is a genius in literature. I am very proud to be able to call you my brother! Come, let's go to Yuehu Garden and take a look!"

He took Lin Su's hand, acting somewhat familiar.

Du Dongliu looked a little uncomfortable. Yuehu Garden was a place of entertainment. This... was this appropriate?

Ji Su smiled: "Come on!"

Two figures appeared at the same time, one was an official and the other was dressed as a woman.

"You, accompany Master Du well!"

"Ninth sister, please accompany Master Ji!"

He brought Lin Su to Yuehu Garden, a place of entertainment, which obviously all men understand.

Du Dongliu was too old, so he was dismissed. Ji Qianling was a woman, so she was also dismissed. One person was assigned to each of them for the reception.

The person assigned to Du Dongliu was a third-rank minister of Baiyujing, and the person assigned to Ji Qianling was a princess, which was quite important.

What no one expected was that Ji Su brought Lin Su to the shade of the willow tree in Yuehu Garden, stopped, and slowly raised his head: "Brother Lin, let's skip Yuehu Garden today. Someone wants to see you!"

Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at a place through the smoke in front of him. There was a strange light in his eyes.

A hand gently pressed down on his shoulder, and Ji Su's voice came to his ear: "Suzaku Lane, I have also looked at it from afar countless times, but I didn't dare to take a step into it. I was afraid of ruining her practice. But when you went in, you brought her the same warmth as I did to me. Therefore, we call each other brothers, and it's not just a courtesy." (End of this chapter)
