First Lord of Earth
Chapter 558: Martial Arts Competition to Win a Bride, Dowry and Prizes!
"What? Looking for a bride!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder exploding, and all the guests in the hall were stunned.
Even the local people of Soochow, including the two young masters Sun Ce and Sun Quan, looked surprised.
Obviously, this sudden decision was made by Mrs. Sun, and even her two parents and children were not informed in advance.
"Ever since His Majesty was assassinated and his life and death were uncertain, I have been worried day and night. I have not thought about food and drink, and my hair has turned white overnight."
But Mrs. Sun's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling and sad.
At that time, I had secretly decided in my heart that if His Majesty was really unfortunate, I would also go with him to preserve the righteousness between husband and wife. Thanks to God's blessing and General Xia's generous gift of medicine, His Majesty was able to escape. However, even so, it is still unknown when he will wake up..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but burst into tears and her voice became deeper and deeper.
"So, I began to look forward to it. At least in my lifetime, I can witness Xiang'er put on the wedding dress with my own eyes, which will fulfill my wish."
She paused briefly, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.
"Actually, before this, I asked Saint Qingxu to deduce the secret of heaven. The Saint said that if Xiang'er gets married at this time, it may be helpful to His Majesty..."
When she said this, Mrs. Sun had a look of guilt in her eyes.
Because she wasn't completely honest.
In fact, the idea of "getting married" was not her original idea, but came from the mysterious "Taoist Saint" at the table.
The other party told her privately that letting Sun Shangxiang get married at this time would "bring happiness" to Sun Jian and ward off evil spirits.
During the Three Kingdoms period, legends about gods and immortals were common, such as Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zuo Ci's magical talk about magic, and Yu Ji's magic powers, all of which were awe-inspiring. Therefore, Mrs. Sun also firmly believes in "divination and fortune telling".
Of course, the Taoist priest's words are not groundless.
In fact, whether it is choosing a "consort" with unlimited potential for Xiang'er, or betrothing her to a powerful family or marrying her to the overlord.
All of them can add luck to the Soochow Dynasty!
In this way, Sun Jian, as the leader of Soochow, will naturally benefit from it. Maybe he can take this opportunity to overcome the current crisis and regain his glory!
"Is this too hasty..."
When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
In fact, Sun Ce never had a good impression of this type of Taoist priests.
After all, in the memory of the fictional world called "The Romance", he suffered backlash for killing a Taoist priest named "Yu Ji" and eventually died unfortunately.
However, the old Taoist priest in front of him had a noble status after all. He was a saint and a guest of the Soochow Dynasty.
His strength is extraordinary, ranking first among the many "saints and guests" of the Soochow Dynasty!
I definitely can't kill him easily on the charge of "confused by evil words" again, not to mention that the other party's move is out of concern for his "father".
In China, a land that values filial piety, not only cannot I oppose it, but I should fully support my mother's "recruitment" move.
"This matter is related to my sister's lifelong event, and I still need to listen to my sister's opinion..."
Sun Ce turned to his sister Sun Shangxiang, his eyes full of worry, fearing that she was "forced".
"This is of my own free will. It is our duty as children to be able to pray for our father..."
Sun Shangxiang did not hesitate and spoke firmly.
"That's good!"
When Sun Ce saw this situation, he felt a little relieved.
At least from this look, my sister was not forced by her mother.
The reason why Sun Ce is so worried is that in fact Sun Shangxiang was not born to this "Mrs. Sun", but to "Wu Guotai", who was Mrs. Sun's biological sister and Sun Jian's concubine...
However, in ancient times, the legitimate mother was respected, so Sun Shangxiang's marriage contract was naturally based on Mrs. Sun.
And Sun Ce knew very well that it was difficult for emperors to have true love between them, or even "family love" would inevitably have some interest in it!
His mother brought up this matter at this time, in the final analysis, it was to "paint cakes" for those present.
Because, after this battle, the strength displayed by the human race became more and more powerful, which inevitably made the alien genius feel the crisis.
Under this situation, the opponent is likely to launch a "comprehensive attack" in a true sense before Sun Jian recovers, which will also put great pressure on Soochow!
It is crucial for these saints here and whether the Qianxia Dynasty can fully support the Soochow Dynasty at that time.
Under such circumstances, it is also of strategic significance to raise the matter of "recruiting relatives."
Being able to be selected as a "quick son-in-law riding a dragon" not only requires Sun Shangxiang's own fancy, but also requires a certain degree of "strength"!
"You are all heroes of our human race. Today, I swear an oath on behalf of His Majesty!"
"We, the Soochow Dynasty, are willing to provide Xiang'er with the best dowry, including hundreds of war ships, more than a thousand sets of spiritual weapon-grade armor, a magic weapon, a magical power, and hundreds of spiritual plant seeds. , millions of spiritual stones, exclusive training resources for various holy items... In addition, it will also be used as a marriage gift to the Gong Ji camp established by Xiang'er herself! "
The words from Mrs. Sun's mouth made several saints have some emotions on their faces.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about magical weapons, magical skills, and cultivation techniques are very attractive to saints!
You must know that since they will become guests of the Soochow Dynasty, it means that their original power has "died", and all the necessary cultivation resources must be provided by the Soochow Dynasty.
If you can really get married to Sun Shangxiang, not only will you have more resources to practice, but you will even have the opportunity to get involved in the core power of the Soochow Dynasty!
After all, now that Sun Jian is in a coma and the Soochow Dynasty is leaderless, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
Therefore, the four saints, especially the two younger-looking saints, the chain warrior, and the eagle-eyed man all had a somewhat moved look in their eyes!
"This is such a rich dowry..."
Even Xia Tian was a little surprised.
Although the Qianxia Dynasty was rich in supplies, it was not very thirsty for the so-called magic weapons and holy medicines.
But Xia Tian is very interested in the "war ship" of the Soochow Dynasty.
Although, when facing the domains and auras of several saints today, those "Alien War Ships" seemed a little "cowardly"?
But that was actually "acted" on purpose.
A real war ship, as a different species, it can be called the overlord of the water. Even if it faces dragon-blooded creatures, it still dares to confront it head-on.
Even these warships can be matched with the power of the "military formation". In cooperation with each other, they will definitely have the advantage of crushing some foreign "fleets".
In addition, if I remember correctly, the soldier Sun Shangxiang married should be the "female soldiers" who grew up with her!
Although, its own strength may not be too strong.
But after all, they are carefully selected princess guards. Not only are each of them outstanding in strength, but their equipment is also very sophisticated, and their overall combat effectiveness should be comparable to that of the golden troops!
This alone can make many small power lords excited. Not to mention, Sun Shangxiang is also a good-looking female general. To most modern people, her appeal may be higher than that of some "ladies"!
During the chat with Zhou Yu on the war ship.
Xia Tian knows that the "two Qiaos from Jiangdong" are now married as wives. To be more precise, they have chosen to follow Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to the eternal land as "wives"!
This news made Xia Tian feel a little regretful. It was not because of Boss Cao's feelings, but because he had some expectations for this pair of famous women from the Three Kingdoms!
"However, there is no more Jiangdong Erqiao! Sun Shangxiang seems to be a good recruitment target?"
Of course, strictly speaking, the word "recruit" should not be used, but the word "marry" should be used.
After all, these things Mrs. Sun mentioned are all "dowry"!
In addition, it does not mean that Sun Shangxiang will definitely be able to join the Qianxia Dynasty, because the reason why Mrs. Sun raised this matter at this banquet was not only for the Qianxia Dynasty, but also for the four guests in the saint realm. !
After all, except for a few people who are saints, most of them have a certain "foundation" behind them.
For example, the eagle-eyed young man and the old man in Taoist robes both came from the same sect and were in the relationship of master and disciple. Although the world was destroyed when the heaven and earth merged, they still had some in their hands. The foundation!
And that shirtless man was also the "God of War" of a certain tribe that had been destroyed, and he once had great power.
"The dynasty wants to find a husband for Princess Xiang'er! Pindao boldly recommends his nephew Shenying... Before he entered the world of Zhongyang, he was the prince of a human dynasty with tens of millions of people. His status Respected, and blessed with national destiny... and Princess Xiang'er, they are a perfect match!"
The old Taoist priest named Qingxu said.
"The Holy Eagle is young but has extraordinary strength. He is a young and talented man. The old woman is naturally optimistic..."
Mrs. Sun said.
She is not stupid, so she naturally knows that the reason why the old Taoist priest came up with "Happiness" is because he has some ideas.
But this is a win-win situation, and naturally it will not prevent the other party from participating. On the contrary, the more people involved in this "recruitment", the better.
"However, our Soochow Dynasty is facing a crisis now, and Xiang'er's marriage can only be considered after the war... The old woman thinks it is better to just look at the performance in this battle... Anyone who is willing to participate in the 'recruitment' can You can do your best in this battle!”
"Finally, among the top-ranked people, choose one person to be Xiang'er's husband! Of course, if there is no chosen person, I, the Soochow Dynasty, will still provide a sufficiently valuable reward... Your work will not be in vain!"
Mrs. Sun said with a smile on her face.
"This method is very good, just do it like this..."
"However, since it is a competition... then, how about adding some bonuses?"
At this time, Eagle Eye looked at Xia Tian and his group, his eyes flashed a bit fiercely, but he suddenly spoke.
"Oh! Caitou, is it interesting?"
Xia Tian met each other's eyes, a pair of dragon eyes were shining brightly, as if they were piercing into each other's heart.
"This object is a national secret treasure created by our dynasty in the past. It is a treasure at the level of 'quasi-magical weapon'. It is an imitation of the arrow used by Hou Yi to shoot down the sun in the legend... Although it is an imitation. It's a rare product, but it's so powerful that it can even kill a saint..."
Then I saw the eagle-eyed young man, light flowing in his hand, and several arrows appeared. Just taking it out, he felt like he was frozen thousands of miles away!
"This thing is called the Devil Fruit... I got it by accident. Once taken, it can turn a person into the most beautiful woman in the world!"
The burly man with his shirt wrapped around chains also took out an item from a gourd on his waist. Its name and function made Xia Tian feel a little familiar.
It is obvious that he also has a lot of ideas about the position of "son-in-law"!
Although he has already joined Sun Quan's camp and can get Sun Quan's support, it would be better if he could go further and become a "royal family member"!
"I don't participate in such a bet..."
Only the saint who is supposed to be a woman and whose aura is hidden makes people unconsciously ignore her is not interested in this!
"General Xia, I wonder if the Qianxia Dynasty is willing to marry my Dongwu?"
Then, Mrs. Sun smiled and looked at Xia Tian who had not expressed her opinion.
"The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, with a stunning talent, a kind heart, and a sincere filial piety. If she can marry my Qianxia Dynasty, it will be a blessing for my dynasty..."
Xia Tian said.
"Although, in my Qianxia Dynasty, marriage is not entirely decided by parents, but mainly by personal ideas, and it will not be given a prize as a "bet"..."
These words fell into the ears of the people around, and the reactions were different, some were puzzled, some were disdainful, and some were thoughtful!
As someone who obeyed her parents' orders, Sun Shangxiang's green eyes were deeply fixed on Xia Tian, her eyes moving around, as if she was yearning for him.
"But since we should follow the local customs, let this thing serve as a 'prize'..."
After Xia Tian shook his head, another item appeared in his hand.
It was a divine weapon that was similar to a shield and emitted a jade-white light!
Before, Xia Tian exchanged a lot of items from the "Dragon Treasure House", including two divine weapon-level items... This shield was one of them, which was made by a divine dragon with its own reverse scales. It could not only bounce back all attacks, but also summon the power of the divine dragon, and its attributes were very powerful!
Now, as soon as it was taken out, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"What, a divine item?"
"It's just a competition, and they actually took out a divine weapon. The Qianxia Dynasty is too arrogant..."
Everyone present was a little shocked. This "general" of the Qianxia Dynasty seemed to be a little too serious.
The appearance of the magic weapon made the other two people's "prizes" look shabby.
"The magic object is of extraordinary value, and we will not take advantage of it. I am willing to give the opportunity to comprehend the secret "Divine Sword Canon" of my sect. The talented can comprehend the divine sword way from it..."
The old Taoist priest named Qingxu looked at Xia Tian deeply after hearing this, and then said.
"This..."
The pressure undoubtedly came to the side of the shirtless chained man.
The reason why he chose to participate in the "competition" was actually just a whim. He was far less concerned about the position of the son-in-law of the Eastern Wu Dynasty than the master and apprentice "Qingxu"!
It would be very uncomfortable for him to take out an item of "artifact" level.
After all, he is now alone, and the things in his hands are really limited. Even for saints, the divine items belong to the bottom of the box!
However, it is difficult to get off the tiger now.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and took out something similar to a "bronze incense burner".
"This item is not only a divine item, but also a treasure related to a special secret realm... its value is inestimable... let it be the prize for this time."
When Xia Tian saw the style of this bronze item, his eyes could not help but focus.
Because the material of this item is exactly the same as the "Bronze Jianmu" in the Mirage Secret Room and the "Phantom Sound Treasure Box·Bronze Bell" obtained before... (End of this chapter)
