Chapter 1061: Too Much of a Coincidence

This news could not possibly be kept from Baifeng either; in fact, Baifeng knew about it earlier than most Nobles. However, Baifeng did not manage it, nor did he intervene, because this plan was one he himself had spoken of and permitted. Naturally, it was impossible for him to go and cause them trouble over this issue.

However, those Nobles did not manage to reach an agreement. The absence of several key figures left this gathering without a backbone, and their fear of Baifeng also caused their gathering to break up in discord.

Baifeng actually very much wanted them to succeed in this matter, but it did not develop in the direction he had anticipated, which left Baifeng feeling a little displeased.

Baifeng even wanted to take action to push for the successful holding of this gathering, so as to thoroughly empty out the family assets of these Nobles. However, before he had prepared a plan, a message arrived by carrier pigeon.

Several Bamboo Tubes were placed before Baifeng, said to be news sent from the Xuanyuan Tribe. Baifeng opened one, unrolled the letter, and after looking at it for only two seconds, he widened his eyes and stood up from his chair.

What! Changle has actually found a woman, and she is from the Jiuli, the daughter of Chiyou! This, how is this possible? How did he meet her? It couldn't be that he was deceived, could it? But there are also envoys from the Jiuli coming; what kind of situation is this? Is this true?

How did the Jiuli make contact with Changle, and how did it happen that they just happened to send their own daughter to Changle's side without any deviation? How could it be such a coincidence?

But how did the Jiuli know about Huaxia, and how did they come to Huaxia? There is definitely the hand of the Xuanyuan Tribe in this; there is no doubt about it. But why would the Xuanyuan Tribe do this? Could it be that having the Jiuli and Huaxia form an alliance is beneficial to the Xuanyuan Tribe?

Baifeng truly cannot think of a reason right now; what is the benefit of doing this for the Xuanyuan Tribe? To say all this is a coincidence, he does not believe it at all. How could this be? Why is it that Changle has always looked down on most women, yet suddenly took a fancy to one, and she is from the Jiuli, and is Chiyou's daughter? Everything is too coincidental, coincidental to the point of being unreasonable.

But what makes Baifeng even more afraid now is that he can no longer grasp the current trajectory of history. He was able to strategize in this era and mingle among the various tribes by relying on his knowledge of the general historical trajectory. However, ever since Suirenshi wanted to join him, this trajectory slowly began to spiral out of his control.

And now, it has even tied his own fate and the fate of the Jiuli together with a single thread. How great the power of this thread is, even Baifeng himself does not know, but history has already become chaotic, and he can no longer grasp it.

If he cannot grasp history, it means his greatest reliance is gone. If that is the case, who will be the final winner, the ruler of the entire land in the future? Chiyou or Xuanyuan?

The Xuanyuan Tribe originally could not defeat Chiyou and only won in the final battle after suffering many defeats. But now that he and the Jiuli have become involved, should he go and help the Jiuli, help Chiyou, in the end?

Changle does not know any history, nor does he know about any Heaven-mandated protagonist. He only knows what his father said—that Xuanyuan could win—but that was just a guess. If his father is so capable, and if he participates in the struggle and helps Chiyou, then who wins and who loses is not yet certain. And Changle would certainly be more willing to help Chiyou; after all, his father-in-law is Chiyou.

Unless Xuanyuan can also do the same thing, otherwise, it is almost impossible to pull Changle to a neutral position; he is absolutely willing to take action to help Chiyou for the sake of his wife.

As a result, the only one lost is Baifeng. All developments are unknowable. Chiyou will become his relative by marriage (of course, Baifeng hopes this is fake, and that this Ayuduo is just some savage found by some savage tribe, who just happens to be good-looking enough to bewitch Changle).

One is a relative by marriage, the other is an ally he once thought would definitely continue to win according to the development of history. Now that it has reached the final moment, who will Baifeng choose to support? Or is he going to be the one to become the King who creates a ten-thousand-generation legacy, ending the struggle and bringing peace and unification?

Baifeng dares not choose now, nor does he want to choose. Using the future of his entire Huaxia as a bet, this stake is a bit too large.

Therefore, he decided to watch first, to wait and see what this woman from the Jiuli is like, whether she is worthy of Changle, and also to communicate with those few envoys from the Jiuli to see what their thoughts and purposes are.

Now the news can only be released; it is impossible to keep it hidden. Thus, Baifeng followed the normal procedures and prepared to let the Ministry of Rites tidy things up to receive the envoys from the Jiuli when the time comes. At the same time, he began preparations for the wedding of Changle Prince; this is the second wedding of the Royal Family, so it must be a bit grand.

For now, do not disclose it to the commoners; let it only circulate among the upper echelons, and prohibit it from spreading outside, so as to avoid causing any bad influence if this matter does not succeed in the end.

And the first person Baifeng wanted to show the letter to after seeing it was Yulong. Baifeng opened another Bamboo Tube; the content written inside was the same, and the handwriting was confirmed to be Changle's without a doubt. Thus, Baifeng handed one Bamboo Tube to a servant and told him to deliver the letter to Yulong.

When Yulong saw it was a Bamboo Tube, he thought it was news sent from the front line and opened it excitedly to read. But after reading just a few characters, the color of his face changed several times. Indeed, this news was truly a bit shocking. Thus, Yulong directly clutched the Bamboo Tube and ran toward Baifeng's office.

He even skipped the step of announcing himself and pushed aside the guards at the door. Once he entered the office, he began to howl: "Father! Father! Are you there!"

Baifeng sat up from his chair, feeling a bit irritable: "Stop howling, I can hear you, I am right here. Well, you have finished reading the news, right? What are your thoughts?"

Yulong looked at the Bamboo Tube and sighed: "Father, no matter how I look at this matter, it feels wrong. It is too bizarre, and there are too many coincidences; it is too strange."
