Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

The Jiuli Divine Emperor's originally depressed mood vanished instantly upon hearing this news, and even his thoughts on the future of the Jiuli Dynasty changed.

"The rise of the Xu family is an inevitable trend that no one can stop. I was indeed a little worried about it before, but thankfully you reminded me early."

Yao Zitong was surprised and puzzled.

"Father, do you mean you agree to hand over the Jiuli Dynasty to the Great Qian?"

The Nine Li Divine Emperor nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, this is good for everyone."

Yao Zitong was momentarily stunned. Just moments ago, her father had seemed very reluctant, even willing to live and die with the dynasty. How could he suddenly agree now?

Is it simply because the person she admires is Qu Wubing? And Qu Wubing is a member of the Xu family?

Yao Zitong didn't ask, but that was indeed the case.

The Nine Li Divine Emperor thought that although Qu Wubing did not have the surname Xu, he was indeed a member of the Xu family, and the Xu family valued him highly, otherwise they would not have given him such an important position as the city lord of the Holy City.

After his daughter got together with Qu Wubing, he would be considered a relative by marriage to the Xu family. Giving the Jiuli Dynasty to his in-laws would not be a problem.

His previous reluctance to hand over the dynasty to others stemmed not only from those concerns, but also from worries that the Yao family would lack opportunities and a place to survive and develop.

After Qu Wubing, the lord of the Holy City, got together with his daughter, the Yao family could move to the Holy City to live.

This effectively dispelled his last remaining concern, so he naturally agreed to Yao Zitong's previous suggestion.

As for Qu Wubing, the son-in-law, the Nine Li Divine Emperor was naturally very satisfied.

He has status, background, and talent; it's hard to find anyone better.

So, the Jiuli God Emperor, who had been sullen and full of worries, burst out laughing because of this news.

“Daughter, since you’ve been to Ascension City, why don’t you make another trip and talk to the Great Qian about merging the Nine Li into the Great Qian?”

Yao Zitong paused slightly, then nodded.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner the people of the Jiuli Dynasty can enjoy the protection of the Great Qian Dynasty and live a better life.

Not long after returning home from Shengxian City, Yao Zitong left home again and returned to Shengxian City.

They went directly to the Eastern Palace, revealed their identities and purpose, and met Xu Kong, the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Previously, when Yao Zitong was in Shengxian City, during the time Qu Wubing was recuperating, Xu Kong came to visit her and they had met.

Once I realized they were on my side, I felt much more at ease.

After a long discussion, Yao Zitong and Xu Kong finalized many details.

Soon, a major piece of news spread to every corner of Cangzhou.

That means the Jiuli Dynasty is about to be merged into the Daqian Dynasty, and there will be no Jiuli royal family anymore, only the Yao family.

This news has astonished the world.

"What's going on? Why did the Nine Li Dynasty surrender so suddenly without any warning?"

"Completely expected."

"The Eight Ancient Kingdoms, the Great Xia, and even the entire Southern Region have all been brought under the control of the Great Qian Dynasty. It's only a matter of time before the Nine Li Dynasty comes into the fold."

"The Great Qian Dynasty is aiming to unify the entire Cangzhou and establish the strongest dynasty!"

"This is certain for the future; no one can stop the Great Qian now."

"My biggest regret now is that I didn't buy some properties in Shengxian City sooner."

Xu Kong sent people, led by Yao Zitong, to the Jiuli Dynasty to carry out the work of conquering Jiuli step by step.

Having gained experience from taking over the Great Xia and twenty dynasties in the Southern Region, the Great Qian Dynasty was already very skilled in this regard.

Everything is proceeding rapidly and in an orderly manner.

In just a few months, the incorporation of the army, the appointment of officials, the management of cities and fiefdoms, and other aspects of the work have been completed.

This is the end.

The Jiuli Dynasty, a kingdom that has existed since ancient times, has completely disappeared from the stage of history.

In fact, compared to the Great Zhou and Great Xia dynasties, the Nine Li Dynasty's ending was the best.

After all, the royal families of the Great Zhou and Great Xia are gone, but all the members of the royal family of Jiuli are still alive. They just can no longer be called the Jiuli royal family; they can only be called the Yao family.

Most importantly, after Yao Zitong and Qu Wubing got together, the Yao family became in-laws with the Xu family.

This identity is far more prestigious, powerful, and useful than that of the Jiuli royal family.

As long as they remain loyal to the Xu family like the You family before them, and always stand on the Xu family's side, the Xu family will naturally not treat them unfairly, and they will definitely become even stronger in the future.

This is far more promising than guarding the territory of the Jiuli Dynasty.

This is also the biggest reason why the Nine Li God Emperor smiled so happily after learning that his daughter's beloved was Qu Wubing.

After incorporating the Jiuli Dynasty's army, Xu Kong sent them to the former territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and then sent the Great Xia Dynasty's army over there, thus implementing cross-management.

In the future, if anything happens and the army needs to be deployed, they will be the first to go.

The Great Qian Dynasty has been established for too short a time. Its core army was formed by Xu Kong when he was in the Eight Ancient Kingdoms, and it has only been a few decades since then.

Therefore, in terms of both the quality and quantity of the army, it was still somewhat inferior to the two dynasties of Da Xia and Jiu Li.

However, the Great Qian Empire now has a large enough territory and a large enough population, and it will surely be able to cultivate a powerful and loyal army in the future.

.....

Now, the Xu family has complete control over both the southern and northern regions of Cangzhou.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Region has been controlled by nearly 90% of the territory. There are still two hegemonic forces left in the Eastern Region: the ancient Xiao family and Duanshan City.

Tu Jiuming, the city lord of Duanshan City, was rescued by the Xu family, and since then, he has maintained a good relationship with the Xu family.

Therefore, the most panicked family right now is the ancient Xiao family.

After learning that the Jiuli Dynasty had been incorporated into the Daqian Dynasty, the Xiao family's top leaders held an emergency meeting.

The head of the Xiao family looked at the family's ancestors and elders with a serious expression.

"Everyone, nowadays in the Eastern Region, besides the Xu family, there are only two hegemonic forces left: Duanshan City and my Xiao family. Duanshan City has long been an ally of the Xu family, and our Xiao family's position is quite awkward."

"What we need to consider now is whether the Xu family harbors any treacherous intentions and might take action against us, and what we should do then?"

The Xiao family patriarch and elders looked at each other, their faces full of worry.

I never imagined that the Xiao family, a dominant force, would one day have to worry about such a problem.

After a moment of silence, someone spoke up.

"The Jiuli royal family handed over their dynasty to others, and now it's the Yao family. Isn't this the same situation as ours?"

“It’s different. As far as I know, the Second Princess of Jiuli has already gotten together with Qu Wubing. It is because of this relationship that Jiuli was able to merge into Daqian so smoothly and easily.”

They only regretted that they couldn't become in-laws with the Xu family.

"Then let's go?"

This departure naturally refers to either going to the Western Regions or leaving Cangzhou directly.

The barriers between continents only allow cultivators above the Dharma Aspect Realm to pass through, so if the Xiao family wants to go to other continents, they need to leave most of their clansmen behind.

However, if he went to the Western Regions, how could the many Buddhist sects that had been entrenched there for so long tolerate him?

The most likely outcome is that they will devour us.

It seemed that nothing they did worked, plunging the Xiao family into a deep dilemma.
