The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 149: Marriage Covenant
"Sure enough, neither of this father and son is easy to deal with." Ye Liuyun said with a headache.

Although the Ye family is wealthy and powerful, Ye Liuyun is very clear that it is extremely stupid to be wavering between the two grand masters.

Therefore, he must express his stance. The Ye family must also take sides.

However, does he still have a choice?

The answer is, no.

He had only one choice, and that was to side with the Second Prince.

The reason is very simple. Firstly, the Second Prince is in the dark and Emperor Qing is in the light. When their cultivation levels are similar, the more cards they have, the greater their chances of winning.

In the original timeline, it was because of years of forbearance that Emperor Qing was able to successfully scheme against the two great masters, Ku He and Si Gu Jian.

Secondly, the Second Prince is still young. Don't underestimate this point, it is actually very important.

Although at the level of Grandmaster, the essence of life has transformed and is almost inhuman, it is still a body of flesh and blood.

It's not that they won't die, but they age much slower than ordinary people. One day, when their flesh and blood bodies are completely decayed, they will die completely.

Therefore, when their cultivation levels are equal, the advantages of younger people are always much greater than those of older people.

The Ye family never makes a choice because they will only stand on the side of the winner.

Since Fang Hao has the martial arts skills to defeat Ye Liuyun head-on, in Ye Liuyun's view, he is the ultimate winner.

"I agree to cooperate with you, but there is one thing I hope Your Highness will keep in mind." Ye Liuyun said.

"Please speak, senior." Fang Hao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although it is very rare to win over a grandmaster, Fang Hao will not accept any conditions that exceed the bottom line.

"Since you have become a grandmaster, you should be able to guess your father's trump card, right?" Ye Liuyun said.

"My father is also a grandmaster, and a very powerful grandmaster. I know this very well." Fang Hao replied.

"Our Majesty is very patient because he has been looking for an opportunity." Ye Liuyun said.

"An opportunity to capture the four great masters in one fell swoop!" Fang Hao continued, "Am I right?"

"You know more than I thought."

Ye Liuyun continued, "Yes, Your Majesty wants to unify the world, and the four great masters are troubles that cannot be avoided. Northern Qi has Ku He, and Dongyi has Si Gu Jian. With these two around, even if you can unify the world by force, you can't sit firmly on the position of the world's common master."

The four great masters no longer represent themselves. Behind them, a huge group of interests has been formed. These people are both the wings of the great masters and their weaknesses.

If Northern Qi and Dongyi were really destroyed, the grand masters would no longer have any constraints.

Just look at Fang Hao to see how terrifying a grandmaster without any constraints is.

In forcing Ye Liuyun to join his side, wasn't Fang Hao relying on the principle that "those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes"?
"Even if Your Majesty is the most powerful grandmaster in the world, you still have to be patient. Your Highness needs to be even more patient and wait for the right opportunity to do what he wants to do." Ye Liuyun's words were already very explicit.

Fang Hao also understood Ye Liuyun's hint that now was not the best time to attack Emperor Qing, and he needed to wait. This was what he reminded Fang Hao of.

However, Fang Hao just smiled and changed the subject, saying, "A man of insight is a wise man. Senior Ye's choice is very wise."

Smart people don't need to speak too truthfully because the situation is always changing.

But as long as Fang Hao maintains the cultivation level of a grandmaster, the Ye family will definitely stand on Fang Hao's side at critical moments.

After getting the answer he wanted, Fang Hao prepared to get up and leave. Everything that happened in the Hanging Temple would soon alert more royal guards and even the troops guarding Kyoto, so he could not stay for long.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, can you promise me one thing?" Seeing Fang Hao was about to leave, Ye Liuyun seemed to have thought of something and continued.

"Senior Ye, please just say it directly." Fang Hao was a little curious about what Ye Liuyun wanted to say.

"Your Highness, please marry Ling'er." Ye Liuyun said. There is no doubt that this is a naked exchange of interests.

Once Fang Hao marries Ye Ling'er, the Ye family will be Fang Hao's in-laws' family, and in the future they will share weal and woe.

"I don't understand, what do you mean, senior?" Fang Hao called himself "Gu", and it was obvious that he was unhappy.

It's fine that he's being PUA'd by Emperor Qing, after all, he's his father in name only. Why should you, Ye Liuyun, make me compromise?

"Your Highness, why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Ye Liuyun sighed and said, "Although I am away from home all year round, how can I hide Ling'er's feelings from her? Originally, for the sake of the Ye family, I had no choice but to sacrifice Ling'er. Now it seems that it has been a blessing in disguise. I hope Your Highness can treat her well in the future."

It is rare to see a great master with such a strong "popularity". When Ye Liuyun said this, he was like an elder who loved his juniors and was full of affection for his children.

Fang Hao understood what Ye Liuyun meant. Over the years, due to Fang Hao's "lack of ambition", his influence in the court was far less than that of the prince.

How can this serve the purpose of tempering the prince?

Therefore, Emperor Qing had long planned to strengthen the power in Fang Hao's hands.

Emperor Qing's plan was to let Fang Hao marry Ye Ling'er. As the son-in-law of the military leader Ye Zhong, he also had a great master as his backer. This identity was enough for the prince to pay attention to.

Originally, this marriage was a pure political marriage.

But Ye Liuyun discovered that this cynical Second Prince was actually a hidden grandmaster, and even had the fighting power to suppress him.

This made Ye Liuyun have more expectations for this destined political marriage.

Perhaps this is fate. Ling'er's marriage was originally destined to be a tragedy, but now it seems to have become a comedy of lovers finally getting married.

"I understand. Let's just let nature take its course." Fang Hao sighed.

The implication is that if Emperor Qing arranged a marriage for him, he would not refuse.

"That's great!" Ye Liuyun said with a loud laugh.

……

After returning to his residence, Fang Hao came to the garden, squatted on the pearwood armchair, looked at the fish swimming in the pond, and fell into deep thought.

He drove away the princess, showed goodwill to Lin Ruofu, killed Yan Xiaoyi, and won over Ye Liuyun. There is no doubt that his "Plan to Assassinate Qin" has been progressing very smoothly so far.

Perhaps even his cheap father could not have imagined that it was his good-for-nothing son who was digging into his corner and digging up his foundation.

Today, the only forces that Emperor Qing can rely on in Kyoto are the "loyal" Chen Pingping and his foster brother Fan Jian.

However, these two people have always been brooding over Ye Qingmei's death.

Even though on that night sixteen years ago, all the princes and nobles of the Queen and Queen Mother's lineage had been slaughtered by them.

But this group of idiots alone cannot kill Ye Qingmei.

Therefore, there must be a deeper hidden force participating in this siege.

Although Fang Hao had only read the first half of the original novel, he was also informed of the final truth on the Internet.

This truth was the reason why he tied Chen Pingping to his carriage.

Of course, empty words are not convincing enough. If Fang Hao wants to completely convince Chen Pingping, this old fox, he must produce evidence.

As for physical evidence, Fang Hao doesn’t have any.

As for a witness, Fang Hao does have one, but he needs the right timing to catch that person.
