Why?
Why is this?
Ying Wuque couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Although he did not openly express his support for the establishment of the Ji clan alliance when he socialized with the Ji clan, the attitude he showed had already explained a lot of problems.
There were originally some small families that were wavering, but now they have become the Ji family.
Even the Wei and Han families, as well as some envoys from countries with the surname Ji, had begun to celebrate.
But the Zhao royal family never responded.
Even the Marquis of Changping, who had been trying to contact him a few days ago, has stopped trying in the past few days.
He can't figure it out!
At the beginning, both sides were wasting time like this, and both thought that they would not move unless the enemy moved, because the one who moved first would often be in a passive position.
So these days, he has been in a stage of just messing around and not doing any real work.
Just to make the Li royal family anxious, he sat on it himself.
As a result, he was in poor condition, but there was no movement from the Li royal family.
What is going on?
Ying Wuque was really a little annoyed because he came here just to ask for benefits and did not really support the establishment of the Ji clan alliance.
He looked at Gongsun Di: "What do you think is going on?"
Gongsun Di frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Sir! If we rule out the possibility that the Li royal family can really keep their composure, then there should only be two possibilities."
Ying Wuque asked: "What?"
Gongsun Di said in a deep voice: "Either the Li royal family is confident that they can prevent the formation of the Ji clan alliance on their own. Or, they know they are powerless to stop it, so they just lie down."
Ying Wuque frowned, feeling that there was nothing wrong with Gongsun Di's idea.
But in both cases, there seems to be something wrong.
The Muye Stele is extremely mysterious. During this period, the two countries of Gan and Li have jointly guarded it, and a lot of research is necessary. The Muye Stele is so hard that it cannot be shaken by ordinary magic weapons or sharp blades.
There were several powerful warriors who tried their swords on the Muye Monument, and without exception, not a single scratch was left.
Although there is a strange Taoist priest in the Li Kingdom who can cut off the Muye Stele, this Taoist priest should only be able to cut it off violently. No one knows the Muye Stele better than the Ji family. They have made such a big move, how could it be easily cracked by the Li royal family?
But if it's the latter...
Can Zhao Ji be so tolerant?
As soon as the Ji clan alliance was established, Wei and Han each established their own country. The strength of Li State was at least reduced by half, and it immediately fell from the status of a superpower, and would face the behemoth of Ji clan.
How can you tolerate this?
Although no matter who wins, the country can accept it.
But I'm afraid my mission has failed.
This is the first time I'm doing something serious myself. If I go wrong, although it won't have any big impact, it won't look good if it is made public.
Ying Wuque pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Pack up and get ready to go to Weiqi Palace!"
Gongsun Di had no intention of moving: "Sir, I don't think it's appropriate!"
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Ying Wuque frowned slightly.
Gongsun Di smiled and said, "What is supposed to come will come. If we go after what is not supposed to come, we will only bring disgrace upon ourselves. The Jade Soap Factory was originally a shared property of Gan and Li. We came here to rob it because Gan has the initiative. And we would like to remind Master Wuji that Gan is his motherland.
If the Li Kingdom believes that the Gan Kingdom is taking the initiative, they will definitely come to us, even if it is delayed until the day before the tomb is opened, even if we are in a hurry, we can still achieve our goal.
If the Li Kingdom thinks they are in the upper hand, we would appear to be petty if we move in.
We will wait.
If the State of Li is divided into three parts, they will face increased pressure, and they will have to give up the interests of the Jade Soap Factory.
If they could have held out this time, there would have been no chance of our negotiations being successful.”
"That's true though!"
Ying Wuque snorted: "But the key question is, what should I do? Should I just go back without doing anything?"
Hearing this.
Gongsun Di couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
As expected, this young man cares too much about his personal gains and losses and wants to prove himself too much.
The main reason I came here this time was actually for the Sword Immortal Conference.
I came here overnight just to grab a bargain.
Success or failure actually does not have as big an impact as imagined. Ying Wuque's personal talent itself is unlikely to influence the situation this time.
Ying Wuque should understand this principle, but he does not accept his failure.
Gongsun Di thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, think about it, this time it's not all in vain. Even if we leave the Jade Soap Factory alone, you may still have a chance to make a contribution."
Ying Wuque's eyes lit up: "You say!"
Gongsun Di smiled calmly and said, "Sir, have you ever thought about this: if the three families really divide Li, where will the Li family go?"
"The Li family?"
Ying Wuque's mind suddenly became active.
In today's Li Kingdom, the Zhao, Han and Wei families are the undisputed three major families. Although the Li family can be firmly regarded as the fourth largest family, its influence in all aspects is not much worse than the other three.
But the Li family had a fatal flaw.
The problem is that their fiefdom is too small, and most of their influence is gained through marriage, so it is impossible for them to become an independent country.
After the three families divided Li, Zhao, Han and Wei became independent.
The State of Li was severely damaged. Although the Wei and Han families were incorporated into the powerful Ji clan alliance, the alliance was not as big as a country. No matter who the Li family followed, they might be restricted within the country.
Eating in the east and sleeping in the west is simply impossible.
So to speak.
Where is the Li family going?
Ying Wu Que's heart heated up: "It must be me who will rule the country. My mother is from the Li family. After I ascend the throne, it is a foregone conclusion that I will become the queen mother.
