Lord of the Earth

"What? Marrying a wife!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap, and all the guests in the room were stunned.

Even the local people of Eastern Wu, including the two princes Sun Ce and Sun Quan, showed surprise on their faces.

Obviously, this sudden decision was made by Mrs. Sun, and even her two children were not informed in advance.

"Since your majesty was assassinated and his life or death is uncertain, I have been worried day and night, I have lost my appetite, and my hair has turned white overnight."

However, Madam Sun's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling and sad.

At that time, I had already decided in my heart that if His Majesty was really in trouble, I would follow him and leave him to preserve the righteousness of husband and wife. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, General Xia generously gave His Majesty medicine, so His Majesty was able to escape danger. However, even so, it is still unknown when he will wake up..."

At this point, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but burst into tears and her voice became deeper.

"So, I began to look forward to it. At least in my lifetime, I can personally witness Xiang'er wearing her wedding dress and fulfill one of my wishes."

She paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"In fact, before this, I asked Saint Qingxu to deduce the secrets of heaven. The saint said that if Xiang'er gets married at this time, it may be helpful to Your Majesty..."

When she said this, there was a look of guilt in Mrs. Sun's eyes.

Because she wasn't completely honest.

In fact, the idea of ​​"marriage" was not her original idea, but came from the mysterious "Taoist saint" at the table.

The other party told her privately that letting Sun Shangxiang get married at this time would bring good luck to Sun Jian and ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.

During the Three Kingdoms period, legends about gods and immortals were common, such as Zhang Jue's Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zuo Ci's fairy arts, and Yu Ji's magical powers, all of which inspired awe. Therefore, Mrs. Sun also believed in "divination and fortune-telling".

Of course, what this Taoist said was not groundless.

In fact, whether it is choosing a "prince consort" with unlimited potential for Xiang'er, or betrothing her to a powerful family or marrying her to a local overlord.

They can all add luck to the Eastern Wu Dynasty!
In this way, Sun Jian, as the lord of Eastern Wu, will naturally benefit from it. Maybe he can take this opportunity to overcome the current crisis and regain his strength!
"Is this too hasty..."

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

In fact, Sun Ce has never had much good feelings towards this kind of Taoist priests.

After all, in the fictional world memory called "Romance", he suffered backlash for killing a Taoist priest named "Yu Ji" and eventually died unfortunately.

However, the old Taoist priest in front of him was of noble status after all. He was a saint and a guest official of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

His strength is extraordinary, and he can be ranked first among the many "saint guests" of the Eastern Wu Dynasty!
He certainly could not easily kill him again on the charge of "spreading evil words to confuse the people", not to mention that the other party did this out of concern for his "father".

In China, a land that values ​​filial piety, not only should I not oppose it, but I should fully support my mother's move of "recruiting a husband".

"This matter concerns my sister's lifelong affairs, so I need to hear her opinion..."

Sun Ce turned his gaze to his sister Sun Shangxiang, his eyes full of worry, fearing that she was being "forced".

"I did this on my own accord. It is our duty as children to pray for our father..."

Sun Shangxiang did not hesitate and spoke in a firm tone.

"That's good!"

When Sun Ce saw this situation, he felt a little relieved.

At least from this point of view, my sister was not forced by my mother.

The reason why Sun Ce was so worried was that Sun Shangxiang was not actually born to this "Madam Sun", but to "Wu Guotai", that is, Madam Sun's biological sister and Sun Jian's concubine...

However, in ancient times, the legitimate mother was respected, so Sun Shangxiang's marriage contract was naturally based on Madam Sun.

However, Sun Ce knew very well in his heart that it was difficult for true love to exist between emperors, or even "family affection" would inevitably be mixed with some elements of interests!
My mother brought up this matter at this time, after all, just to "paint a rosy picture" for the people present.

Because, after this battle, the strength displayed by the human race became increasingly powerful, which inevitably made the alien genius feel a sense of crisis.

Under such circumstances, the opponent may very likely launch a "full-scale attack" in the true sense before Sun Jian recovers, which will also put tremendous pressure on Dongwu!
It is crucial whether these saints present here and the Qianxia Dynasty can fully support the Eastern Wu Dynasty at that time.

Under such circumstances, it is strategically significant to bring up the issue of "recruiting a bride".

To be chosen as the "son-in-law", not only does he need to be favored by Sun Shangxiang himself, but he also needs to have a certain level of "strength"!
"You are all heroes of our human race. Today, I swear an oath on behalf of His Majesty!"

"My Dongwu Dynasty is willing to provide Xiang'er with the best dowry, including hundreds of warships, more than a thousand sets of spiritual armor, a magic weapon, a magic skill, seeds of hundreds of spiritual plants, millions of spiritual stones, and exclusive cultivation resources of various holy items... In addition, Xiang'er will also give her the Gongji Camp she has established as a dowry!"

Mrs. Sun's words made several saints look moved.

Apart from anything else, just the magical weapons, magical skills, and cultivation methods are very attractive to saints!
You know, since they have become guests of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it means that their original power has "disappeared", and all the resources they need for cultivation must be provided by the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

If he could really marry Sun Shangxiang, not only would he have more resources to practice, he would even have the opportunity to get involved in the core power of the Eastern Wu Dynasty!

After all, Sun Jian is now in a coma and the Eastern Wu Dynasty is leaderless, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the four saints, especially the two younger-looking saints, the chain warrior, and the eagle-eyed man all had some intention in their eyes!

"This is such a generous dowry..."

Even in summer, I was a little surprised.

Although the Qianxia Dynasty had abundant resources, it was not very eager for the so-called magical weapons and holy medicines.

However, Xia Tian was very interested in the "war ships" of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Although, today, when facing the domains and auras of several saints, those "alien war ships" seemed a little "timid"?
But it was actually a deliberate "acting".

A true war ship, as an alien species, it can be called the overlord of the water and dares to confront dragon-blooded creatures head-on.

Even these war ships can be combined with the power of the "military formation" themselves. When they cooperate with each other, they absolutely have a crushing advantage over the "fleet" of some alien races.

In addition, if I remember correctly, the type of soldiers that Sun Shangxiang brought as a dowry should be the "female soldiers" who grew up with her!
Although, its own strength may not be too strong.

But after all, they are carefully selected princess guards. Not only are each of them outstanding in strength, but they are also very well equipped. Their comprehensive combat effectiveness should be comparable to that of the golden troops!
This alone is enough to attract many lords of small forces. Not to mention, Sun Shangxiang herself is also a beautiful female general, and for most modern people, her appeal may even be higher than that of some "ladies from wealthy families"!
During the conversation with Zhou Yu on the war ship.

Xia Tian knew that the "Two Qiao Sisters of Jiangdong" were now married, or more accurately, had chosen to follow Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to the eternal land as "wives"!
This news made Xia Tian feel a little regretful. It was not because he felt sorry for Boss Cao, but because he was looking forward to this pair of famous women from the Three Kingdoms!

"However, without the two Qiao sisters from Jiangdong, Sun Shangxiang seems to be a good candidate for recruitment?"

Of course, strictly speaking, the word "recruit" should not be used, but the word "marry" should be used.

After all, all the things that Mrs. Sun mentioned are considered "dowry"!
In addition, it does not mean that Sun Shangxiang will definitely be able to join the Qianxia Dynasty, because the reason why Mrs. Sun brought up this matter at this banquet was not only aimed at the Qianxia Dynasty, but also at the four guest officials in the Saint Realm!
After all, except for a small number of saints, most of the others have a certain "foundation" behind them.

For example, this young man with eagle eyes and the old man in Taoist robes both came from the same sect and had a master-disciple relationship. Although the world was destroyed when heaven and earth merged later, both of them still had some foundation in their hands!

The shirtless man was also the "God of War" of a certain destroyed tribe and once possessed great power.

"The dynasty wants to find a good man for Princess Xiang'er! I dare to recommend my nephew Shenying... Before he entered the world of Zhongyifang, he was the prince of a human dynasty with tens of millions of people. He had a respected status and was blessed with national fortune... He and Princess Xiang'er must be a perfect match!"

Said the old Taoist priest named Qingxu.

"The Divine Eagle Saint is young but extremely powerful. He is a young talent, so I am naturally optimistic about him..."

Mrs. Sun said.

She was not stupid, so she naturally knew that the old Taoist priest had some ideas of his own when he suggested "bringing good luck to others".

But this is a win-win situation, so naturally it will not prevent the other party from participating. On the contrary, the more people who participate in this "marriage recruitment", the better.

"However, our Dongwu Dynasty is facing a crisis now, and Xiang'er's marriage can only be considered after the war... This old lady thinks it is better to see the performance in this battle... Those who are willing to participate in the 'marriage recruitment' can do their best in this battle!"

"Finally, one person will be chosen from among the top-ranked candidates to be Xiang'er's husband! Of course, for those who are not chosen, our Dongwu Dynasty will also provide a sufficiently valuable reward... We won't let your efforts go in vain!"

Madam Sun said with a smile on her face.

"This method is very good, let's do it this way..."

"However, since it's a competition... then how about adding some prizes?"

At this time, Hawkeye looked at Xia Tian and his group, his eyes flashing with some fierceness, but he suddenly spoke.

"Oh! The lottery is interesting?"

Xia Tian looked into the other person's eyes, his pair of dragon eyes shining brightly, as if seeing through the other person's heart.

"This item is a secret treasure of our dynasty in the past. It is a quasi-divine weapon. It is a replica of the arrow used by Hou Yi to shoot down the sun in the legend... Although it is a replica, it is very powerful and can even kill a saint..."

Then the eagle-eyed young man appeared with light flowing in his hands. Several arrows appeared. Just by taking them out, there was a feeling of being frozen for thousands of miles!

"This thing is called a devil fruit... I got it by accident. Once consumed, it can turn a person into the most beautiful woman in the world!"

The burly man with bare chest and chains around him also took out an item from a gourd on his waist. The name and function of the item sounded familiar to Xia Tian.

It was obvious that he also had ideas about the position of "Prince Consort"!

Although he has already joined Sun Quan's camp and can get Sun Quan's support, it would be better if he could go one step further and become a "member of the royal family"!
"I don't participate in such gambling..."

The only one was the one whose aura was hidden and people could not help but ignore her. She was supposed to be a female saint, so I was not interested in her!
"General Xia, I wonder if the Qianxia Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with Dongwu?"

Then, Mrs. Sun smiled and looked at Xia Tian, ​​who had been slow to express his opinion.

"The princess is a beautiful lady with a kind heart and a filial heart. If she can marry into the Qianxia Dynasty, it will be a blessing for our dynasty..."

Xia Tian said.

"Although, in our Qianxia Dynasty, marriage is not entirely decided by parents, but mainly by one's own ideas, and it will not be used as a 'bet' to give a prize..."

When these words fell into the ears of the people around, reactions varied, some were confused, some were disdainful, and some were thoughtful!
As a girl who obeyed her parents' orders, Sun Shangxiang's pair of green eyes were deeply fixed on Xia Tian, ​​and her gaze moved around with a look of longing.

"But since we should follow the local customs, let this thing serve as a 'prize'..."

After Xia Tian shook his head, another item appeared in his hand.

Surprisingly, it was a magical weapon that looked like a shield, emitting a jade-white light!
Before, Xia Tian exchanged a lot of items from the "Dragon's Treasure House", among which there were two magic-level items... This shield is one of them. It was made by a god-level dragon using its own reverse scales. Not only can it rebound all attacks, but it can also summon the power of the dragon. Its attributes are very powerful!
Now, once it was taken out, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"What, a divine item?"

"It was just a competition, but they actually took out a magic weapon. The Qianxia Dynasty is too arrogant..."

Everyone present was a little stunned. It seemed that this "general" of the Qianxia Dynasty was a little too serious.

When the magic weapon appeared, the "prizes" of the other two people suddenly seemed shabby.

"The divine object is of extraordinary value, and we will not take advantage of it. I am willing to give you the opportunity to comprehend the secret "Divine Sword Canon" of my sect. Those with great talent will be able to comprehend the divine sword way from it..."

The old Taoist priest named Qingxu looked at Xia Tian deeply after hearing this, and then said.

"This……"

And now the pressure undoubtedly fell on the side of the shirtless man in chains.

The reason why he chose to participate in the "competition" was actually just a whim. He was not as concerned about the position of the royal consort of the Eastern Wu Dynasty as master and disciple "Qingxu"!
It would undoubtedly be very difficult for him to take out an item of "artifact" level.

After all, he is alone now, and the things he has are really limited. God-level items are just treasures even for saints!

But now it is too late to back down.

After thinking about it and gritting his teeth, he took out something similar to a "bronze incense burner".

"This item is not only a divine object, but also a treasure related to a special secret realm... its value is inestimable... let it serve as the prize for this time."

When Xia Tian saw the style of this bronze object, he couldn't help but stare at it.

Because the material of this item is exactly the same as the "Bronze Jianmu" in the Mirage Secret Room and the "Phantom Sound Box·Bronze Bell" obtained before... (End of this chapter)
