Chapter 171: Alliance?
Before long, Cao Zhengchun returned with Huangfu Duan.
"Greetings, Emperor of Great Qin!"
Huangfu Duan bowed slightly to Ying Chen.
Cao Zhengchun then slowly walked behind Ying Chen to serve him.
"Senior Huangfu, there's no need for such formalities!"
Ying Chen smiled.
"What does Senior Huangfu think of the imperial palace of my Great Qin?"
"Your Majesty, although the scale of the Qin Imperial Palace cannot compare with that of other imperial dynasties, its facilities and the variety of spiritual herbs and medicines it possesses are comparable to those of other imperial dynasties!"
"It doesn't resemble a newly promoted imperial dynasty at all!"
Huangfu Duan said with a smile.
He was telling the truth; various spiritual herbs and medicines were planted in the imperial garden of the Qin Dynasty.
Even celestial-grade spiritual herbs are readily available, and some of them are not even found in the imperial palace of the Huangfu Dynasty.
The aura emanating from those few spiritual herbs was something he had never heard of before; even heavenly-grade spiritual herbs could not compare to it.
It is very likely a legendary Emperor-level elixir.
Unfortunately, all the medicinal herbs were protected by restrictions, preventing him from getting close enough to observe them.
Otherwise, he would definitely take a good look.
Ying Chen smiled slightly, not surprised at all.
The spiritual herbs and medicines in the Imperial Garden, apart from some that were cultivated by the Great Qin itself or collected from elsewhere, were mostly cultivated by the Great Qin itself.
The rest were all redeemed by Ying Chen from the system.
There are even a few Emperor-level spiritual herbs.
Huangfu Duan's reaction was exactly what he expected.
In the Xuanxing Domain, no Emperor-level spiritual medicine has appeared in the world for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing so many Emperor-grade spiritual herbs at once, how could one not be shocked?
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Senior Huangfu, Emperor Huangfu sent you here not just to help my Great Qin, right?"
Ying Chen's expression turned slightly serious, and he spoke.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Huangfu Duan also stopped smiling.
"The Emperor of Qin is right!"
"Our Emperor sent me here not only to help Great Qin, but also for another mission!"
Huangfu Duan said solemnly.
"Oh? What kind of mission is it?"
Ying Chen asked curiously.
"Alliance!"
Huangfu Duan said with a solemn expression.
"An alliance?"
Ying Chen was slightly taken aback, and then said.
"That's right!"
Huangfu Dian nodded and continued, "You should know, Emperor of Great Qin, that since ancient times, the Xuanxing Domain has been inhabited by two races: the human race and the demon race!"
"Humans and demons are mortal enemies, constantly at war with each other!"
Ying Chen nodded; he knew all of this.
Seeing that Ying Chen had no further reaction, Huangfu Duan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Over the years, the demon race and the human race have maintained a relative balance, with each side having an imperial dynasty ruling over its respective race..."
"However, things will be different after Great Qin advances to become an imperial dynasty. This balance will be broken, and the demon race will be in danger. That's why the Heavenly Fox Dynasty is willing to pay any price, even sending a powerful Mahayana cultivator to Great Qin to obstruct its advancement ceremony..."
"Although they have failed now, they will definitely not give up. They will take advantage of the fact that Qin has just been promoted to an imperial dynasty and its strength has not yet increased significantly, and send out powerful warriors and a large army to attack Qin and destroy it..."
Huangfu Duan's expression was serious, and he spoke of things that were detrimental to the Great Qin Dynasty, all in order to forge an alliance with the Great Qin to jointly deal with the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
Although Ying Chen knew all this, he did not expose it.
The Qin Dynasty is now so powerful that it no longer fears the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
Putting aside other things, Huo Qubing and others alone had reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, giving them the strength to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage can defeat him.
"Senior Huangfu, if you put it that way, wouldn't our Great Qin be in great danger?"
Ying Chen feigned surprise.
Huangfu Duan was delighted to see Ying Chen like this.
He thought to himself, "It's done."
But his face still wore that serious expression.
"Yes! Your Majesty, Great Qin is in great danger right now. Although Great Qin has destroyed one Mahayana stage expert from the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, the Heavenly Fox Dynasty has more than just that one Mahayana stage expert..."
"That white figure isn't even ranked among the top Mahayana experts in the Heavenly Fox Dynasty!"
"Now, the only thing Great Qin can do is to avoid their sharp edge and form an alliance with my Huangfu Dynasty. My Huangfu Dynasty will temporarily block the attack of the Tianhu Dynasty, giving Great Qin enough time to develop and improve its strength!"
"Once the Great Qin Dynasty has fully matured, it will be time to launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Fox Dynasty. At that time, by combining the strength of our two great dynasties, we can completely destroy the Heavenly Fox Dynasty and eliminate any future troubles!"
Huangfu Duan said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with hatred for the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had a deep-seated hatred for the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
No, the Huangfu Dynasty and the Tianhu Dynasty have a deep-seated hatred between them.
Both sides suffered numerous casualties at the hands of the other.
No wonder Huangfu Duan showed such an expression.
"Senior Huangfu, this matter is of great importance. I wish to discuss it with the civil and military officials of my Great Qin. Please stay in Great Qin for now, and I will give you a reply as soon as possible!"
Ying Chen looked at Huangfu Duan and said.
Huangfu Duan was also aware that the Qin Dynasty would not make a decision on this matter easily, and that it was not advisable to rush things, so he went along with it and agreed.
However, before leaving, he couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty of Great Qin, I hope you will make a decision soon so that my Huangfu Dynasty will have time to prepare!"
Ying Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
Afterwards, someone led Huangfu Duan away from the Imperial Study and arranged accommodations for him.
"Your Majesty, do we really want to form an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty?"
After Huangfu Duan left, Cao Zhengchun said with concern.
"Why not?"
Ying Chen said with a smile.
"But......"
Cao Zhengchun was anxious; he knew Ying Chen's ambitions.
His goal is the stars and the sea; this small Xuanxing Domain cannot confine him.
Both the Huangfu Dynasty and the Tianhu Dynasty were the targets of the Qin Dynasty.
If we form an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty now, it will be more difficult to deal with them later.
"I know what you're thinking..."
Ying Chen waved his hand, stopping Cao Zhengchun from saying anything more.
"Didn't Huangfu Duan say that if our Great Qin formed an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty, they would help our Great Qin block the threat from the Tianhu Dynasty, allowing our Great Qin to focus on development?"
A wicked smile appeared on Ying Chen's face.
"What if our Great Qin, while the two great dynasties are locked in a power struggle, adds fuel to the fire and makes them fight to the bitter end?"
