Chapter 513
"Your Majesty's long blade is whiter than snow; dancing it is even more beautiful, Wu Li Ke snow drifting across the sky!"
Qin Mu didn't listen to any of it; he just treated him Wu Li Ke a cicada chirping, adding some accompaniment for himself.
While Qin Mu was practicing, Li Li Xueyan held A-Li and came over with Wu Wu Meiniang to watch.
Li Li Xueyan also understood a bit of martial arts.
When she first met Qin Mu, it was on the walls of Changancheng, and at the time she even threatened to kill Qin Mu. But Qin Mu subdued her with just one move, taking both her person and her heart.
At that time, Qin Mu's martial arts were still far inferior to what they are now.
Now he is stronger and has an added sense of dominance!
Such a man makes one's heart flutter.
Although Wu Wu Meiniang did not understand martial arts, she also liked watching Qin Mu practice.
Previously, when Qin Mu practiced, the concubines in the harem all liked to come and watch.
Qin Mu thought they were too noisy, so he forbade those people from coming.
Only Li Li Xueyan and her were uniquely permitted to come.
Wu Wu Meiniang just liked enjoying this privilege and the feeling of being valued by Qin Mu.
Changancheng Guanyi.
Old Li had been slighted in Great Qin and wanted to return to Great Tang as soon as possible.
In Great Tang, he was the supreme Emperor, and no one dared to give him so much grief.
Why stay in Great Qin and be bullied Wu Li Ke this?
Moreover, the purpose of coming to Great Qin this time was only to ask Great Qin to step forward and deter the Four Great Families so they would not dare to rebel.
The goal had already been achieved, so there was even less need to stay.
"Fang Xuanling, let's return to Great Tang early. We can send someone to deliver the gift for the Great Qin Princess later."
Fang Fang Xuanling, however, held Old Li back.
"Old Li, since we are here, why not handle one more important matter?
Those who achieve great things do not fuss over small details!"
"What great matter?"
Old Li did not remember discussing any great matter with Fang Fang Xuanling.
The most urgent thing at the moment was to suppress the Four Great Families.
After the deterrence, Old Li also had to give some benefits to the other families to pacify them. Regarding the pacification work, Fang Fang Xuanling said.
"I also just remembered one thing.
The Great Qin Princess is not yet a month old, and some foreign envoys have already arrived in Changancheng one after another.
By the day of the full month, it will surely be another magnificent scene of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute!
It is equally important.
We can take advantage of this magnificent scene to make friends with foreign envoys from all walks of life in Changancheng.
This is a good opportunity to quickly find trading partners and enhance the national strength of Great Tang!"
Ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute!
Speaking of this, Old Li was so angry his teeth itched.
Previously, he had staged a scene of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute, and for this, he had almost emptied the national treasury of Great Tang and married off more than a dozen princesses, although they were all adopted daughters of the imperial clan.
After paying such a high price, the grand event of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute was upstaged by Qin Mu. Now, Qin Mu hardly had to put in any effort; just a single notice made countries send envoys. This strong contrast made Old Li especially angry.
Why could Qin Mu be so relaxed?
Why was the scene he created with all his might far inferior to someone else's?
Anger is anger.
If he could let Great Tang take advantage, Old Li still had to do it.
As an Emperor, he must work very hard now, otherwise he doesn't know how many more days he can sit on the dragon throne.
"Fang Xuanling, which forces have you seen?
And which forces should we mainly try to befriend?"
Fang Fang Xuanling felt a thousand emotions in his heart regarding Old Li, who was becoming more and more willing to listen to advice.
If Old Li had been willing to do this earlier, Great Tang would not have fallen to its current state.
"Old Li, for this grand event, besides the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions that have already been annexed by Great Qin, as well as Fuyu, Woju, Khitan, Dingling, and Sushen.
Three major powers that we have never heard of have also come."
Three major powers?
We have never heard of them?
This statement left Old Li completely bewildered.
Since they are major powers, how could we have never heard of them?
But among the surrounding countries, are there still major powers as Fang Fang Xuanling describes?
Haven't they all been wiped out by Qin Mu?
"Fang Xuanling, which three major powers are you talking about?"
"Dashi, Byzantium, and Kievan Rus!"
Fang Fang Xuanling seemed to have put in a lot of effort and had collected a lot of information during this period.
Because Great Qin was too powerful, there were no countries left in the vicinity that could resist it.
Fang Fang Xuanling focused more on these more distant major powers.
"Old Li, these major powers are all exceptionally powerful, far exceeding our imagination!
The Kievan Rus people live in the Luo Wilderness north of Mobei. It is icy and snowy there, and the people are as wild and powerful as bears! Byzantium is a powerful country with a three-hundred-year history; it was they who drove the Kievan Rus people to the Luo Wilderness. There is also the Dashi country, where it is said a prophet named Muhammad has just been born; he is invincible and has swept across the world! These three major powers are all capable of competing with Great Qin!
If we could get the three of them to join forces, I believe that even Great Qin would be unable to resist!"
Hearing the beautiful picture described by Fang Fang Xuanling, Old Li was stunned.
He had never known before that there were so many powerful countries outside the Central Plains!
Now that he suddenly heard they could compete with Great Qin.
This gave him hope for the revival of Great Tang!
Three major powers, no matter how powerful they are, they are still barbarians.
What culture could barbarians have?
What kind of brains could they have?
Their existence is meant to be utilized by Great Tang!
At worst, we can just send more princesses for marriage alliances!
Old Li suddenly felt that he seemed to have motivation again.
"Fang Xuanling, you are amazing! You have brought hope to Great Tang again!
I want to thank you!
Let's find an opportunity to form an alliance with these three major powers!"
Old Li's excitement was within Fang Fang Xuanling's expectations.
He understood Old Li's mentality too well.
"Old Li, we cannot rush this matter for now.
Forming an alliance with the three major powers must be done with extreme caution!
We have never heard of them before, and they may not know much about our Great Tang either.
We must first make them realize the power of our Great Tang, so that when we negotiate, we can occupy the upper hand!"
"It makes sense!"
Old Li had finally seen this hope and cherished it especially.
"Fang Xuanling, do you understand their domestic situation?
In what areas is Great Tang beyond their reach?"
Fang Fang Xuanling fell into silence.
Theoretically, they needed to find the strongest aspects of Great Tang to attract the three major powers to form an alliance.
But.
What could Great Tang have that is stronger than theirs?
