Chapter 1327 -1017: The Qingyun Dynasty and the Ye Family’s Plot
Upon hearing Qi Zong’s analysis, Qi Hongguang’s heart surged with excitement.
If the Great Sum Dynasty truly only has one Great Emperor, and moreover, is located near the Chiyue Dynasty, they have no reason not to snatch the Dynasty Fortune of the Great Sum Dynasty.
The Great Sum Dynasty pretends to be guarded by two Great Emperors, likely because the founder of the Great Sum Dynasty is not powerful enough, and fears other empires will attack the Great Sum Dynasty to steal its Qi Fortune. Thus, they have resorted to this method of bluffing.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qi Hongguang’s mouth, “The Great Emperor of the Great Sum Dynasty is a bit clever, but it’s a pity that he encountered our esteemed ancestor.”
“So, ancestor, what should we do next? Should I immediately send troops to attack the Great Sum Dynasty? The Ye Family is already wooing other empires, and once the news about the Great Sum Dynasty spreads, there will certainly be many interested empires.”
The mere starship manufacturing method possessed by the Great Sum Dynasty is enough for the Qingyun Dynasty to attack it, let alone the fact that the Great Sum Dynasty is a newly established empire.
The key is that the Great Sum Dynasty likely has only one Great Emperor, and with the current strength of the Qingyun Dynasty, it would be very easy to conquer the Great Sum Dynasty.
Moreover, since the Great Sum Dynasty has been established not long ago, its Dynasty Fortune has not yet stabilized, making it relatively easy to strip away, unlike the troublesome Chiyue Dynasty.
Qi Zong said, “No need to rush, you can first send someone to the Great Sum Dynasty to find out the exact situation and see if there are any other forces behind the Great Emperor who founded the Great Sum Dynasty.”
With the grand calamity approaching, it is getting increasingly difficult to establish an empire.
In the past, as long as there was a Great Emperor who wanted to establish an empire to gather Qi Fortune for cultivation, they could easily create an empire that might last for tens of thousands of years, just as the Chiyue Dynasty was founded by Pei Tianlu for his cultivation.
Of course, establishing an empire always only required one Great Emperor, and it is still true now.
But with the competition for Qi Fortune becoming more intense, nowadays, to ensure the empire lasts a bit longer, it needs at least three Great Emperors.
Especially under the context of the impending great calamity, other empires absolutely do not allow the birth of new empires, especially empires like the Great Sum Dynasty with only one Great Emperor, which in the eyes of any empire is an alluring target.
Therefore, Qi Zong harbors some doubts whether there might be any hidden forces behind the Great Emperor of the Great Sum Dynasty, for it is not a wise move to establish an empire at this time.
Establishing an empire at this juncture, vying for the cosmic Qi Fortune, is destined to be attacked by other empires. Being a Great Emperor, one could not possibly be ignorant of such matters.
Qi Zong is naturally suspicious and, despite believing that the Great Sum Dynasty has only one Great Emperor, he still intends to proceed cautiously.
After all, the Great Sum Dynasty is near the Chiyue Dynasty, and it would not take much time for them to reach Great Sum from here.
Now that the Chiyue Dynasty is also in the hands of the Qingyun Dynasty, it would not take too long to take over the entire Great Sum Dynasty.
After listening to Qi Zong’s words, Qi Hongguang said, “I understand, I will make arrangements for people to enter the Great Sum Dynasty and find out the specific details.”
As Qi Hongguang spoke, ready to dispatch someone to the Great Sum Dynasty, a guard’s voice came from outside the great hall, “Your Majesty, the President of the Changhong Chamber of Commerce requests an audience!”
Qi Hongguang said, “Bring him in.”
At this point, Qi Hongguang looked at Qi Zong and said, “Ancestor, it seems like the Ye Family is getting a bit impatient.”
Qi Zong pondered, “If we could gain the full support of the Ye Family, even if there is a force behind the Great Sum Dynasty, we wouldn’t have too much to worry about.”
Although the Ye Family from the Chiyue Dynasty is only a branch and lacks a Great Emperor among its members, the main Ye Family is a super force.
If the Ye Family also participates in the attack on the Great Sum Dynasty, then even if there are other forces behind the Great Sum Dynasty, they would have to weigh whether offending a Ye Family is worth it for the sake of a lesser empire.
It was not long before the guard brought Ye Xingteng into the great hall. Upon seeing Qi Hongguang, Ye Xingteng immediately performed a courtesy and said, “I’ve seen Emperor Yun!”
Then Ye Xingteng’s gaze fell on Qi Zong. Although he did not recognize Qi Zong, he could feel that Qi Zong’s aura was extremely powerful. He once again bowed to Qi Zong and said, “I’ve seen the senior.”
Qi Hongguang said, “President Ye, there’s no need to be so courteous.”
Qi Hongguang asked, “May I know what brings President Ye here today?”
Ye Xingteng counter-questioned, “A few days ago, the Ye Family sent some intelligence to Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty is already aware of the affairs of the Daxia Dynasty?”
Qi Hongguang smiled, “I am already informed.”
Ye Xingteng pressed on, “Does Your Majesty have an interest in the Daxia Dynasty then?”
Qi Hongguang hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be embarrassed as he said, “President Ye, we have yet to find Pei Tianlu’s hiding place, and he could come back at any time.”
“If we were to attack the Daxia Dynasty at this time, and Pei Tianlu took this opportunity to take revenge on the Qingyun Dynasty…”
At this point, Qi Hongguang stopped, leaving his sentence unfinished.
Seeing Qi Hongguang’s troubled appearance, Ye Xingteng snickered in his heart. He didn’t believe that Qi Hongguang had no interest at all in the Daxia Dynasty.
Qi Hongguang’s pretended difficulty was nothing but a scheme to gain more benefits after taking down the Daxia Dynasty.
Ye Xingteng spoke indifferently, “Your Majesty, in this era, the rise up of new dynasties holds great attraction for any empire. If Your Majesty hesitates too much, you might miss the opportunity, and before long, the Qi Fortune of the Daxia Dynasty could be divided by other empires.”
Ye Xingteng was not inclined to humor Qi Hongguang. His meaning was obvious: if Emperor Yun wasn’t willing to cooperate, then the Ye Family would seek collaboration with other dynasties.
Qi Hongguang spoke with a laugh, “President Ye, what you say makes much sense. However, I would like to know if the old ancestor of the Ye Family is aware of the matters concerning the Daxia Dynasty?”
The Changhong Chamber of Commerce is the Changhong Chamber of Commerce, and the Ye Family is the Ye Family. Although the Changhong Chamber of Commerce is the largest commerce of the Ye Family, when it comes to major decisions, it is not Ye Xingteng, the president of the Changhong Chamber of Commerce, who decides, but the old ancestor of the Ye Family.
Ye Xingteng said, “Of course he is aware. My visit to the Qingyun Dynasty today to discuss collaboration with Your Majesty is precisely our ancestor’s intention.”
When Ye Xingteng returned to the Chiyue Dynasty from the Daxia Dynasty, he reported the situation of the Daxia Dynasty to the higher-ups of the Ye Family.
The high level of the Ye Family unanimously decided to seek cooperation with other empires to find a way to divide the Daxia Dynasty, particularly set on obtaining the technology of the starships.
Qi Hongguang asked, “May I then ask what sort of cooperation the Ye Family has in mind?”
“As far as I know, the Ye Family doesn’t have a Great Emperor yet, do they?”
“That is to say, if we were to truly cooperate in attacking the Daxia Dynasty, the Qingyun Dynasty would be contributing the most effort.”
Ye Xingteng said with a smile, “Who said the Ye Family doesn’t have a Great Emperor?”
Hearing this, Qi Hongguang and Qi Zong were both stunned. Since when did the Ye Family have a Great Emperor? How come they had not heard any news about it?
Seeing Qi Hongguang clearly startled, Ye Xingteng continued, “Not long ago, one of our old ancestors succeeded in achieving the Dao through commerce.”
