Chapter 335
Chapter 335
The Great Xia Empire had only deployed three Grandmasters and completely turned around the dire situation of the Great Li Empire, deeply intimidating the neighboring countries!
The image of Great Xia as an empire not to be trifled with took root in everyones hearts.
Great Xia is really getting stronger. With just three Grandmasters, they defeated the Grandmasters of those three countries and scared them all away!
I heard they won all three battles, and it took them less than 1000 rounds to determine the victor!
Great Xia has many more Grandmasters and even a divine sword that they didnt need to deploy!
Great Xia truly deserves to be the number one empire in the world!
Amidst everyones discussions, the Great Li Emperor reorganized his court and fulfilled his previous promises.
When Lin Beifan met Ninth Prince Li Tianqiong again, he had already become the Crown Prince of the Great Li Empire.
Recalling everything that had happened in the past few days, Li Tianqiong still felt as if he were in a dream.
Previously, the Great Li Empire was facing the crisis of annihilation, but then it was resolved in the blink of an eye.
Previously, he was just an idle prince, with no chance of ever becoming the Emperor. But now, he had ascended to the position of Crown Prince and would become the Emperor of the Great Li Empire, holding the power of the empire.
The changes in the world really happen too fast! I dont know if this is good or bad for me.
Li Tianqiong shook his head, not wanting to think too much, and respectfully said to Lin Beifan in front of him, Grand-master, with your help, our Great Li Empire has been saved! Here are the materials promised by Great Li, please take a look!
He handed over a list, which Lin Beifan glanced at before looking towards Heshen.
Heshen bowed and reported, Your Majesty, the 30 million taels of materials promised by the Great Li Empire, including gold, silver, copper, iron, and other items, have been delivered to Great Xia without error.
Lin Beifan nodded.
In addition to that, there is Li Tianqiong clapped his hands, and immediately, several exquisite boxes were brought forward.
Upon opening the boxes, they were found to contain treasures of inestimable value.
Li Tianqiong approached the first box and, pointing to the shiny pearls inside, said, Grand-master, this is a treasure of the Great Li royal familythe Seven-Colored Blood Pearl! It was extracted from a giant clam in the deep sea, about the size of a fist, blood-red and translucent, and it emits a rainbow of colors! Not only is it beautiful, but it can also be used as a medicinal ingredient to replenish the bodys qi and blood, comparable to a divine pill, and its value is immeasurable!
Not bad, this is a good treasure! Lin Beifan approved.
Li Tianqiong moved to the second box and, pointing to a pair of yin and yang jade pendants inside, said, Grand-master, these are a pair of Divine Yin and Yang Jades, carved from jade stones excavated from a deep mountain! A man wears the yin jade and a woman wears the yang jade. They can regulate the bodys five elements and balance yin and yang, even extending ones life is not an exaggeration!
This is also a fine item! Lin Beifan nodded again.
Li Tianqiong approached the third box and once again began to introduce.
This is Black Feather Heavy Sand. Although it is black, it shines like stars! It is an excellent material for forging divine weapons, and just a little bit of it can improve the quality of a divine weapon!
There were a total of six treasures, each one a rare and invaluable item that could not be bought for any price outside.
These six treasures are an additional gift of thanks from my father to you, Grand-master. Please accept them!
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Ive long heard that your father is a generous man, and now I see it is indeed the case! I accept his gifts, and when you return, give him my regards!
Yes, Grand-master! Additionally, there is one more matter!
Lin Beifan was puzzled, The gifts have been delivered, what else could there be?
Li Tianqiong hesitated before saying, Its like this, my father, grateful for the Grand-masters kindness, wishes to send a lady to form a marriage alliance and solidify the friendship between our two nations!
In plain terms, it was a political marriage.
Lin Beifan thought it over carefully and understood the reason behind this proposal.
Although the Great Li Empire had survived the calamity, the crisis had not been lifted, as neighboring countries still eyed it with covetous intent.
Therefore, it was essential to closely align with Lin Beifan, as other nations would not dare to attack.
Lin Beifan shook his head with a smile and said, Theres no need! Im aware of your concerns. You are my disciples disciple, and as long as you remain the Crown Prince of Great Li, I will certainly come to your aid! In this world, aside from me, no one else is allowed to bully you!
His words were brimming with dominance, warming Li Tianqiongs heart.
Although his young Grand-master was somewhat unconventional, he came through at crucial moments.
But Grand-master, before I came, my imperial father gave a strict order that I must secure this marriage alliance, otherwise I wont be able to return and face him! Li Tianqiong said anxiously.
Lin Beifan finally relented, Who is the lady in question for the marriage alliance?
Grand-master, the lady in question is none other than my imperial sister, Li Tianying. She is the apple of my imperial fathers eye, greatly cherished within the royal family, kind and virtuous, and she has a good reputation among the people. She is now 18 years old, of marriageable age, so my imperial father considered marrying her to you to solidify the friendship between our two nations like the Qin and Jin dynasties of old.
Lin Beifan nodded silently. It turned out to be a princess, which did meet the requirements for a marriage alliance.
However, Lin Beifan was still unmoved. He was not a superficial person!
Even if you were a noble lady of the Empire, even if you held a lofty status, could you compare to him?
There was no one under the heavens with a more noble identity or greater power than him!
So, Lin Beifan calmly asked, What does she look like?
She is a beauty that would shame the flowers and eclipse the moon, the number one beauty of Great Li! Li Tianqiong said proudly.
If thats the case, send her over as soon as possible, and well pick a date for the wedding!
Li Tianqiong:
Lin Beifan thought seriously for a moment and said, My disciples disciple, lets get one thing straight first!
What is it, Grand-master? Li Tianqiong asked curiously.
Although Im marrying your imperial sister, and by name, Ill be your brother-in-law, we must keep our respective statuses clear. I am still your Grand-master, and the hierarchy must not be confused, understand? he said with a serious face.
I understand, Grand-master! Li Tianqiong replied, tears streaming down his face.
After agreeing to the marriage, Li Tianqiong immediately went back to make the arrangements.
About half a month later, Princess Tianying of the Great Li Empire arrived in Great Xia.
Dressed in a luxurious and exquisite phoenix crown and ceremonial robe, she gracefully walked under Li Tianqiongs guidance.
Although her face was not visible, her graceful figure suggested she was indeed a peerless beauty.
Grand-master, I entrust my imperial sister to you. I hope you will treat her well! Li Tianqiong said, his emotions very complex.
His most beloved senior sister had been taken by him!
His fiance, who had not yet entered his household, had also been taken by him!
Now, even his most cherished imperial sister was being handed over to him by his own hands!
What in the world was going on! Damn it!!!
Lin Beifan, smiling, took Princess Tianyings small hand and said, My disciple, rest assured, I will definitely treat her well. I absolutely wont let my woman be wronged!
After the wedding banquet concluded, Lin Beifan returned to the bridal chamber and lifted the red veil from Princess Tianyings head, revealing a flawless face that seemed almost too delicate to touch.
She glanced at Lin Beifan and immediately lowered her head shyly, Your Majesty!
Lin Beifan praised, You are really beautiful, worthy of being Great Lis number one beauty!
Its all thanks to everyones high regard! Princess Tianying became even more bashful.
Lin Beifan held her delicate face in one hand and asked, Do you regret marrying me?
Princess Tianying bravely lifted her head and said, Your Majesty is the most extraordinary man in the world. It is my honor to marry you. How could there be any regret? I I am too happy to even express it!
After saying this, as if she had used up all her courage, she lowered her head again.
Lin Beifan burst into laughter: Well said! The night is deep, my love, let us rest!
Princess Tianying softly pleaded, Please be gentle, Your Majesty!
A single moment of a spring night is worth a thousand gold.
As the candle was blown out, both of them lay down on the bed.
