Chapter 139 Deed
"I mean?"
What could she possibly mean?
"The Ying clan once followed Zhulong in conquering the four seas, and their clan was illustrious," Di Yao reminded her.
She's more than good enough for you, or even better off than you.
She couldn't believe she wasn't tempted.
Mu Yunyun smiled, not responding to her words: "If that's the case, why should Lady Yaoji go against the clan leader's wishes?"
“You don’t understand.” Di Yao’s eyes were complicated. “You must know that my Di Jiang clan was able to unify Yuanzhou by relying on the remaining power of the North Sea back then.”
Mu Yunyun nodded.
This is not unusual.
Marrying into another family.
She understands.
Di Yao smiled bitterly.
"However, my mother was too ambitious. She was very patient at the time, but she had been planning all along."
"She did not allow any descendants of the Ying clan to succeed to the clan, so she made my elder brother take the Rejuvenation Pill from infancy to deceive the North Sea and make them loyal to her. After unifying Yuanzhou, she would turn around and devour the North Sea to seize power."
"what!"
Eat up the whole family!
Isn't this just taking advantage of someone who has no family to support them?!
No.
and many more.
"You mean, Yinghua is... a male..."
“That’s right,” Di Yao said. “My elder brother was exceptionally talented from a young age and awakened two spiritual veins early on. If it weren’t for the toxicity of the Rejuvenation Pill that blocked his spiritual veins, he wouldn’t have become a useless person and been looked down upon by everyone in the clan.”
Di Yao looked at her and said, word by word, "It was you. You cured my brother's poison, causing my mother's lifelong schemes to fail, and also benefiting the North Sea, allowing them to use this as an excuse to force my mother to relinquish power."
"You mean, Qingfeng San?"
“That’s right.” Di Yao pointed to the Mosuo teacup: “Of course Mother was unwilling to relinquish power, but Beihai was furious and would not stop until both sides were dead. Mother was forced to compromise, but with two conditions.”
"To make you form a pact with the Youying clan?"
"That's only one reason. Mother wants my elder brother to succeed as clan leader, but he can't form a sworn brotherhood for life. She wants to wait until the day when Youying and I are fortunate enough to have a child, and then I will take over the position of clan leader." Di Yao smiled bitterly to herself: "How could I not see through Mother's thoughts? She will never let Youying's bloodline be born. She's just trying to appease Beihai."
"Do those old clans in Beihai also agree?" Mu Yunyun asked curiously.
"Beihai assessed the situation and knew that this was the biggest concession his mother had made, so how could he possibly disagree? Besides, there are too many variables in the future. Even if his mother has a plan, Beihai can deal with it as it comes. The current position of clan leader is the most important thing."
"So, what is the meaning of Lady Yaoji's visit?"
Mu Yunyun steered the conversation to the main topic.
Di Yao came to her senses.
Turn your gaze to her.
“I don’t want to see my mother become too obsessed with power and sink deeper into it, nor do I want to become one of her pawns. I hope you can form a pact with the Youying clan and stop at nothing to achieve it.”
"Using any means necessary?" Mu Yunyun was a little overwhelmed: "I never intended to form a pact with the Youying clan, so Lady Yaoji can't force me."
Di Yao was getting a little anxious: "You don't plan to form a pact with the Youying Clan? That's the Youying Clan!"
"so what?"
Di Yao gritted her teeth: "In short, name your terms. This is not coercion, but a plea and a deal."
transaction?
Mu Yunyun glanced at her.
"for example?"
for example......
Di Yao was speechless for a moment.
"Given my current position, I really can't promise too much. If you have any conditions, feel free to tell me. Everything is negotiable, and I will try my best to agree."
This surprised Mu Yunyun.
She didn't have a very good impression of Di Yao.
At the birthday banquet, a simple remark about the difference between superiors and inferiors deeply wounded Xiao Xi.
In her eyes, these lowly foreigners were utterly beneath her notice, and she would never deign to associate with them.
not to mention.
In this clan struggle, Di Yao was the first beneficiary, and there was no reason for her to hand over the power she had gained.
Mu Yunyun didn't believe her.
“Our clan is weak and there is no need to risk offending anyone.”
Di Yao took a deep breath: "After my brother succeeds as clan leader, I will leave the main family and take a territory of my own. Within this territory, all races will have to pay tribute to me for ten years. How about it?"
Mu Yunyun remained calm and composed.
"Why is Lady Yao Ji going to such lengths? If you don't want to agree, just decline. It's your contract anyway, can anyone force you to do this?"
Upon hearing these words, Di Yao's eyes filled with sorrow and bitterness.
“My mother has always been domineering. If I don’t agree, my father’s clan will be driven out of Yuanzhou, or even wiped out. How dare I resist?”
She looked up, her expression serious.
What will it take for you to agree?
"territory."
"What?" Di Yao didn't hear clearly.
"Lady Yaoji just said that you would be allocated your own territory. If I said that I would give up all of this territory, would Lady Yaoji agree?"
"you!"
This is absolutely absurd!
What matters is not the territory, but the races governed within it.
If all these races were to belong to her Snow Weasel clan, then it would only be a matter of time before they became a clan.
That's quite a boast.
"The reason why our race is loyal to the Dijiang clan is so that we have power to rely on and will not be bullied by other foreign races. So what if I give it up?"
"Then it depends on Lady Yao Ji's sincerity."
Mu Yunyun stood up, unwilling to say more.
"I have other matters to attend to. Please make yourself at home, Lady Yaoji."
"Wait!"
Seeing that she was really about to leave, Di Yao quickly stood up.
"Fine, I agree. I hope you keep your promise, or you know what will happen!"
"Then I will wait for Lady Yaoji's contract."
......
Bai Sang'er simply couldn't believe it.
"My lady, is this contract real or fake?"
On contracts made of animal hide, blood is used as a seal, signifying that the contract has been formed and is subject to the rules of heaven and earth.
However, this is just too absurd.
"Lady Yaoji has given Zhoushan City to the Lady!"
Zhoushan, bordering Yanshan City, is the second richest place in Yuanzhou.
Among them, there are six clans belonging to the Dijiang clan!
"Lady Yao Ji actually agreed?"
Mu Yunyun carefully put the contract back as if it were a precious treasure.
"Of course, but there are conditions."
Bai Sang'er's eyelids twitched: "What are the conditions?"
"Let me go to Beihai and cause a ruckus, and while I'm at it, kidnap that brat Yingze and bring him back."
"Ah!" Bai Sang'er thought she had misheard: "That's it?"
Beihai broke the contract first, so they were definitely going to demand an explanation. They never expected that Lady Yaoji would not want to form a pact with the Youying clan and would even give up her territory?
Mu Yunyun repeated Di Yao's words: "You think the Dijiang clan is easy to mess with? If the old patriarch knew, he would skin me alive."
"What should we do then?" Bai Sang'er asked worriedly. "Did the Lady really believe what Lady Yao Ji said? But we really don't need to take such a big risk."
"I had no choice but to take the risk."
Mu Yunyun looked outside, or more precisely, she looked towards Mu Bai and the others.
"How could my clan possibly defend the mines on the outskirts of Yanshan City?"
She was determined to develop her clan, and with this opportunity presented to her, she admitted she was tempted.
Mu Yunyun gripped the contract tightly in her hand.
This is also her reliance, her foundation, and her first step.
This action is absolutely unacceptable.
"My lady...actually..." Bai Sang'er wanted to say that, given her relationship with Lord Qiyue, the clans of Yuanzhou would definitely not touch the mines out of respect for the Lord.
Seeing that the contract had already been signed, Bai Sang'er could only swallow her words.
"Oh, right, have the Tiger Clan tie up Yingze for me, clean him up, and send him over."
"what!"
