During this period of time, Long Long was also keeping an eye on Beiming Fanyang and received letters continuously.

Beiming Fanyang was also arrogant. On the one hand, he was eager to know what was happening in the outside world, but on the other hand, he was like a frightened bird, suspicious and worried that outsiders would follow the information channels to find out the situation of Beiming Fanyang and then catch him in one fell swoop.

To be honest, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that Beiming Fanyang is so cautious.

After all, their enemy is the Qilin clan that rules the entire Donghuang Realm.

"The war has temporarily ceased," Long Long wrote in his reply, "but there is a fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides, so it is impossible for peace to last long."

"Northern Province and Central Province will definitely go to war first. It would be fine if the war was a stalemate, but no matter which side gains the advantage, the Feather Tribe will not be able to hold back."

"The North State has the upper hand. Given the hatred of the Feather Tribe towards Qilin, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to seek revenge. If the North State loses the upper hand, the Feather Tribe will worry that the Central State will turn its guns on them, so they cannot let the North State lose."

"Only when the war is at a stalemate, and the Feather Tribe has difficulty unifying its internal voices, will they tend to wait and see."

"Very good." Beiming Fanyang replied, "It is natural for the princes to be treacherous and deceitful to each other."

"The Feather Clan of Nanzhou has always been unruly and only admires the absolutely strong. The Qilin Clan, who rose to power through political struggle rather than strength, naturally has no chance of winning over Nanzhou."

"What is Dongzhou's attitude?"

"Currently, both camps are trying to win over the Canglong clan." Long Long continued to explain, "There are many different opinions within the Canglong clan. At present, it seems that the wait-and-see faction has the upper hand."

"The Canglong clan has always been like this, only caring about small gains and not the overall situation." The other party replied, "If the Canglong clan was willing to come to our aid when our clan was in danger in the past, they would not have to retreat to the border of Dongzhou and carefully curry favor with the princes now."

"Oh?" Long Long asked immediately, "After Emperor Yinglong fell into the human world, did the Canglong clan take advantage of his misfortune?"

"That's not the case." The other party said, "But our clan once asked them for help, and the Canglong clan agreed to help the king, but hesitated and changed their mind at the last minute, dragging their feet, so that after the Qilin clan came to power, they almost had a fight with Dongzhou."

"Later, the Black Turtle Clan interceded for him, and the Feather Clan provoked him at the border, which made the Qilin Clan cautious and let Canglong escape."

"So that's how it is." Long Long thought to himself, it is a bit like the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

Wei wanted to dominate the world, Shu wanted to resist the powerful Wei, and only Dongwu was wavering in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River... The main reason was that there was internal disunity and the highest decision-maker could not control the situation.

The situation on the Canglong clan's side is actually simpler: clan leader Qin Beiwang lacks strategic vision, does not know which camp will win, and does not dare to make rash decisions and take the blame later, so he counts on the Canglong ancestor to make the decision.

As for the ancestor Canglong, although Long Long could not draw a conclusion, he felt that it seemed to be a typical speculator's mentality: see which side will win in the end, and I will stand on that side.

Beiming Fanyang's evaluation is really appropriate.

"That's true." Long Long said casually, "It's the daughter of His Majesty Yinglong, Longhu. She has a noble bloodline, so many people have proposed to her. Isn't the Canglong clan thinking of waiting for a higher price to sell her?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. The tribe sent someone to look for me again. I'll go see what's going on."

After throwing the jade slip into the teleportation array and delivering it to Beiming Fanyang, Long Long cunningly found an excuse to slip away.

He knew that since Beiming Fanyang admired Emperor Yinglong so much, he would certainly also admire his daughter.

But until now, the other party has never asked about the dragon fox. Obviously, there is only one explanation: Shi Yao never mentioned the existence of the dragon fox to the other party.

As for why, it was naturally Beiming Fanyang's fault for treating Shi Yao as an ATM and having no intention of communicating with her properly.

If I hadn't been willing to spend my blood and essence to gain the other party's trust, I wouldn't have been able to quickly reach the current level of trust with Beiming Fanyang - of course, since this relationship has not been established for a long time, the other party's trust must be quite limited. If I had directly told him about the dragon fox, Beiming Fanyang might have been suspicious.

Therefore, pretend to say something casually first, and then immediately leave the other person alone.

No matter how suspicious the other party is, in the absence of more external information, driven by anxiety and worry, they can only choose to trust themselves... So not only humans are a race that "will not cry until they see the coffin", but dragons are the same.

After stopping contact with Beiming Fanyang, Long Long went to find Longhu to test the waters.

At this moment, Longhu was lying on the bed in the bedroom, playing with two small stuffed dolls.

The puppet on the left has a pair of small horns on its head, which seem to be made of the cut ends of chopsticks;

The puppet on the right has a big tail attached to its butt, which is obviously made of a girl's tail hair.

"Fox." The puppet on the left said, "The tribe has been really busy lately. I have no choice. It's not that I didn't play with you on purpose."

"Yes, yes, yes." The puppet on the right snorted angrily, "Brother Long is a busy man. He has so many important matters to deal with every day. How can he have time to care about a poor little fox?"

"I'm sorry, Fox." The puppet on the left knelt down and said, "I neglected you. I clearly promised my mother. I'm such a jerk. I'm a worthless person..."

The puppet on the right got so angry that he turned around and slapped the puppet on the left in the face with his big tail.

But perhaps because it was not tied tightly, the tail twitched a few times and then fell off and fell to the ground.

Dragon Fox quickly picked up the tail with a distressed look on his face, and then manipulated the puppet and said:

"You! Look, I was so angry that my tail fell off."

"I'm sorry, Fox, I was wrong."

"Will saying sorry help?"

"Then...then I'll give you my horn as compensation. Can I give you my horn as compensation?"

"Who wants your stinky feet!"

"It's not the stinky feet, it's the cute little horns growing on the head~"

"Whose tail fell off?" Long Long pushed the door open from outside.

Dragon Fox quickly rolled over on the ground, pressing the two puppets under him, and said in surprise:

"Long Long? Why are you here?"

"Well, don't mention it." Long Long said depressedly, "Since I entered the Dongyuan realm, my clan has asked me to receive guests from all over the country and tribes every day, just like displaying military equipment... Is there any tea to drink?"

"Yes, yes!" The dragon fox stood up (hidden behind its back, it swept the two dolls under the quilt), "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"

"Whatever." Seeing Longhu going over to make tea, Long Long suddenly said, "Hu, if I want you to go to Beiming Fanyang with me, are you willing?"

Dragon Fox was slightly startled and replied:

"Of course, but isn't this already agreed upon?"

"But," Long Long continued to ask, "If you embark on the journey to Beiming Fanyang, then everything you have in the Canglong clan, including all kinds of delicious food, fun things, and beds to sleep on, will all be gone, right?"

Dragon Fox was a little hesitant after hearing this, but soon smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter if I don't have it. At least I still have you, right?"

Long Long fell silent.

Actually...I won't stay with you forever.

But he didn't say this out loud. He just smiled and nodded and said:

"Um."
