Chapter 69 The Dowry (Part 2)(1/3)
Xu Chang'an and his group followed Zhan Xu to Long Island.
On the Dragon Island, there are lush green and green, with many rare beasts. Even the back garden of Chang'an Palace is not as good as this Dragon Island, and it can even be said to be incomparable.
However, the house on Long Island is not as good as Chang'an Imperial City.
The Chang'an Palace is magnificent, and the house on Long Island is like the residence of a wealthy man.
After a while of greetings from the island Lord Ao and Zhan Xu, his eyes remained on Xu Changan's eyes. He was a little surprised, but he soon snorted coldly.
The group followed into the house. Although the exterior of the house looked ordinary, the interior of the house was filled with brilliant gold coins. There was a layer of golden powder on the candlesticks and stone steps, and the golden candlesticks were just It is just a decoration, which is used to illuminate the night pearls that emit light during the day.
Chi Tianxing was originally in Guixu, where productivity was low and he was not as good as that of ordinary peasants in the Holy Dynasty. At this time, when he saw the interior decoration of the Dragon Island, he was so shocked that he widened his eyes.
He timidly pulled the corner of Xu Changan's clothes and whispered: "Is this the Dragon Palace?"
Xu Changan smiled, touched his head and did not answer him.
Xu Changan couldn't see it, but he also knew that the house on Dragon Island would definitely not be too bad, but to say that this is the Dragon Palace, he really underestimated the Dragon Clan.
"Brother Xue told me that the dragon clan is greedy for money, and it turns out to be like this when I see it today."
Chi Tianxing spoke without hesitation. Xu Changan heard this and coughed twice, indicating that Chi Tianxing should not speak nonsense.
Only then did Chi Tianxing realize that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut up.
Lord Ao naturally heard this. He did not blame Chi Tianxing, but instead looked at Xu Changan and said coldly: "There is no tutor!"
After saying that, he turned his head away.
They were so unwelcome that Xiao Zihua narrowed her eyes and a murderous aura vaguely exuded her body.
After Xu Changan felt it, he hurriedly stopped, held Zihua's shoulder, and shook his head slightly.
If ordinary people treat him so coldly, he will naturally have a temper; but this Lord Ao Island is considered his grandfather and his family is angry, so he will of course stop Xiao Zihua.
Besides, he also heard about his father and mother.
On the wedding day, his father came to rob the marriage, and his mother did not return to Long Island for a long time, and Aunt Ao also hurt Old Man Lan because of this. The lives of the two daughters of the Lord Ao Island were changed by his father. After thinking about it this way, Xu Changan also understood the attitude of the Lord Ao Island.
As a father, his two daughters will naturally get angry because of a man.
It is reasonable for him to not like himself.
Nothing is important. Xu Changan only hopes that his grandfather will not immerse his personal emotions in the relationship between the human race and the sirens.
The group entered the courtyard and sat down with the guest of honor.
The owner here is the owner of Ao Island, and the main guests are Zhan Xu, and Xu Changan and others naturally sat in the last position and approached the gate.
After seeing this, Viozihua felt that there were about twenty half-step shaking stars around the Dragon Island. His hand inadvertently touched Xu Changan's shoulder and wrote "Twenty-Five" on it.
Xu Changan understood what he meant, that is, there were twenty-five half-step star-shaking realms around this Dragon Island.
Xu Changan had to sigh that the strength of Dragon Island was only the strength shown on the surface. They didn’t know how much hidden strength this Dragon Island was, and they could only describe it in four words: unfathomable.
"People, please, this tea comes from the Holy Dynasty. Please use tea with distinguished guests."
Lord Ao's voice came, with some smiles.
"I know the intention of Mr. Zhan to contact me Long Island." When everyone was picking up the teacup, Master Ao said suddenly.
Xu Changan paused with the teacup, took a sip of the tea and placed the teacup on the table.
He was inexplicably nervous, for fear that Zhan Xu would propose marriage if he opened his mouth.
Although he rejected Gu Shengsheng, he was very unwilling to be with Zhan Xu and Gu Shengsheng for some reason. This has nothing to do with his position. Even if Zhan Xu is not the young master of Xiangliu, he is so outstanding that he can only make Xu Changan look up to him. Xu Changan
I don’t want Gu Shengsheng to be with him either.
"Now the seal has been opened, the demon clan is in chaos, and the kings are in conflict, all of them have only one purpose, that is, to compete for the Central Plains. Although the sea monster lineage is in a corner, it will inevitably be involved in war."
Zhan Xu's voice was loud and loud.
"You Lu Yao's lineage, do you want to steal this sea area? As for the human race, at most some fishermen come to fish. To maintain balance in the ocean, these human races must also beat the fish that reproduces very fast. This is what
My Siren lineage is the default. Since I still have no direct interest relationship with the Lu Yao or the human race, you will continue to compete for your Central Plains, what does it have to do with my Siren lineage?"
Lord Ao did not give in at all and directly pointed out the situation of his Siren lineage.
When Zhan Xu heard this, his face remained unchanged. He just continued to take a sip of tea and said, "Did Lord Ao forget that when the human race sealed the Lu Demon lineage, wasn't there anyone among you, a squid?"
When Lord Ao heard this, he remained silent.
"Lord Ao Island, I have no other intentions. I just want to say that the world is in chaos and no one can survive. The sirens seem to be in a state of no dispute, but they will eventually be swept in. The sea is vast, and some people will always think that
Just take advantage of the troubled times to get a share of the pie, maybe your Siren lineage will become the target of public criticism by then."
When Zhan Xu said this, he stopped and glanced at Master Ao Island.
"Senior Ao, the Siren lineage also adhered to the principle of not helping each other, but what are the consequences?"
Zhan Xu changed the title of "Master Ao" to "Senior Ao", which invisibly brought his relationship with Master Ao closer.
"The sirens are not weak. If the sirens are neutral, no one dares to do so. What if the powerful sirens take the opportunity to go out to sea after both sides are injured? This is the concern of our Lu Yao lineage, and it is also the concern of the human race."
"Now, Senior Ao has to make a decision. The consequences of not helping each other are a lesson!"
Zhan Xu spoke sincerely, but Master Ao only showed a faint smile on his face.
"You're right. Our siren did suffer heavy losses back then. Under the siege of the demons and humans, the Sea Emperor disappeared. Some of the siren who wanted to dominate the world were also sealed, almost letting the Sea Emperor go.
Bloodline died.”
"This time the world is in chaos, and my Siren lineage really wants to change the previous practices. Since we are unavoidable, we should take the initiative to step into this chaotic world."
Zhan Xu smiled when he heard this. Since Senior Ao intends to get involved in this world's major event and asks him to come, it proves that he has great hope to cooperate with the Siren lineage, and even with the Siren lineage.
Marriage.
If we really succeed in marriage with this siege demon lineage, and with the Xiangliu lineage released by my younger brother, what is the demon army led by the Golden Crow clan?
"Just..." Lord Ao suddenly paused.
Zhan Xu felt a "knock" in his heart, and he felt a little uneasy. With these two words, he felt the change in the attitude of the Siren lineage.
"It's just that you, Mr. Zhan Xu, can represent Lu Yao? Or does it only represent your Xiangliu family?"
Zhan Xu took a deep breath, and the problem he had always been afraid of came after all.
"If it represents the Lu Yao lineage, then why did I hear that the Golden Crow lineage is not obedient? But if it represents the Xiang Liu family, would you take you to underestimate my Siren lineage and treat me Siren as a big fool?
It’s your Xiangliu family, you are not qualified to come to cooperate with me in the Siren lineage.”
Lord Ao said this very seriously and did not give any face at all.
Zhan Xu almost spoke speechless when he heard the truth.
"The next seal is about to be opened. At that time, the Siren will definitely be able to win the world and gain a lot of money when they cooperate with us." Zhan Xu could only say with a thick face and gritted his teeth.
"What are you harvesting? Can you land demons have land, population, resources, and what can my siege demon lineage get?" The Lord of Ao Island looked like a torch, staring at Zhan Xu tightly, and said, and stood up.
The pressure of the stocks was pressing straight towards Zhan Xu.
"I..." Zhan Xu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You want to make a fortune by yourself. My Siren's lineage helps you conquer the world, but the one who ends up doing the world is your Xiangliu lineage. The one who gets the benefits is your Lu Yao lineage?"
Lord Ao’s rebellious question left Zhan Xu with nothing to say or say nothing to reply.
Seeing Zhan Xu's defeated look, Master Ao breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile on his face, and sat back on his seat.
With just a few words, he completely suppressed Zhan Xu and grabbed the initiative in his words. In this way, no matter how he talked about it later, he could ensure that the Siren lineage was in an advantageous position.
Even Zhan Xu didn't expect that he picked up the teacup and fell below.
Now he raised his head and looked at the Lord Ao Island sitting in his seat. He felt a little more alert and thought to himself, "This ginger is still so spicy."
But Zhan Xu was Zhan Xu, and he quickly adjusted and a smile appeared on his face.
Since the Siren's lineage agreed to him come here, it naturally means there is room for negotiation in this matter.
He calmed down his mood and first clasped his fists at Lord Ao and said, "Lord Ao has taught me a lesson, so I came here to negotiate."
"Although the Siren tribe does not need land or population, it requires other resources. I even know that my cultivation has reached a certain level, I need to worship and seal the official position. We are talking about this. And the food of the Siren tribe,
We can talk about martial arts, river demons flowing through rivers and the like.”
"The Siren and what we want do not conflict, so we can negotiate and get what we need."
Zhan Xu's face seemed to be shining at this time, and he seemed very confident when he spoke.
"As for whether I represent the Xiangliu clan or the demon clan, it's fine. But for the time being, I represent the Xiangliu clan. But I believe that in a month, the second seal will be opened and the third seal will be opened.
I can represent most of the demon clan.”
Lord Ao did not refute this, but just smiled and chatted with them casually.
However, during this period, he never mentioned Xu Chang'an. Even though Xu Chang'an and others sat in front of him, he turned a blind eye to it. He thought that these people had never appeared before, and he didn't even ask once.
Xu Chang'an and the others seemed transparent, but when it was lunch time to eat, the Lord Ao Island sent someone to arrange an extra table.
Moreover, he was the only one who accompanied him during this period.
Neither Aunt Ao nor Gu Shengsheng, who Xu Changan was familiar with, had ever appeared.
