Liu Jie left the palace somewhat dazed, but gradually began to think. Yes, marrying Li Xian at a low price was the only option.
First of all, from the perspective of the Shang Kingdom, Zi Ling'er is the foundation of the Shang Kingdom that runs through the nine heavens. This alone limits Zi Ling'er's future. From the perspective of national interests, Zi Ling'er's marriage options are already very small.
Also, now that Shang and the demon tribe have united, it is inevitable for Li Xian to marry a demon woman for political reasons. But no one in Baiyujing Shenzhou knows the demon tribe, and no one knows what they look like. They have no influence among the people of Shang. So, Zi Ling'er, who is in front of him and known to everyone in Shang, is the best choice.
Zi Ling'er has a wide influence in the Shang Kingdom. Marrying Zi Ling'er can promote the information of cooperation between the Shang Kingdom and the demon clan to the greatest extent, and it is a positive one.
Finally, considering Zi Ling'er's cultivation and status, there were only a handful of people who could match her. In addition, Zi Ling'er would run to the palace from time to time, so those who had some ideas also behaved themselves.
"Ah..." Liu Jie sighed, but he could only sigh, and then prepared a dowry for his female apprentice. Speaking of which, Liu Jie has always treated Zi Ling'er as his daughter, but it's a pity that a girl can't be kept when she grows up.
But considering it from another perspective, marrying the virtuous king seems to be the best choice; and Li Xian is not one of those ridiculous emperors with three palaces and six courtyards and three thousand beauties. And Liu Jie seemed to feel another layer of political significance - he went to Lihuotian, but Zi Ling'er married Li Xian, hey!
As for Li Xian, he has been busy in the Prime Minister's Office and rarely returns to the palace. Now the Shang Kingdom is facing an unprecedented great change, and only Li Xian can take charge of it in person to make this change go smoothly and allow the officials of the Shang Kingdom to be busy.
There were also some trainee officials sent by the demon tribe, who all bowed their heads and studied obediently in front of Li Xian, not daring to make any noise. Facing the wise king of Shang, who had created a new era in the fairyland, even the demon tribe had to bow their heads.
At this time, the news of Liu Jie and Xihe's wedding, as well as Li Xian and Zi Ling'er's wedding, also spread throughout the country, and the whole country was in jubilation.
The people of Shang State are generally cheering now; although some people reject the idea of the demon tribe joining the Shang State, this does not stop everyone from cheering - look, the powerful demon tribe has bowed down before the Shang State!
However, what Li Xian is most concerned about now is the war in Gaia World. After Xihe's treatment, a considerable number of Shang soldiers and generals woke up on their own; but most of them were awakened at the last moment.
Those who awakened on their own almost quickly recovered to their peak state and were taken seriously. Everyone was ready to continue fighting. However, those who were awakened were in worse condition and had to retreat and recuperate temporarily. The Shang Kingdom continued to send more legions to provide support, and the demon army also arrived one after another.
As for the demon clan masters who had made great contributions, they were immediately rewarded - the most precious fairy spirit. For every hundred kilograms of demon, the general would get a 50% bonus.
The army rested for only three days before continuing the attack. At this time, Gaia World also received reinforcements. The masters and elite troops from the rear of Gaia World gathered at Jiuquan Mountain and prepared to launch a war to "win the victory in one battle" - in the eyes of Gaia World, the army of Shang State should be in a state of fatigue, and this is the best opportunity.
