The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 825 Marriage
Perhaps because of Jie Li's advance instructions, the little girl dressed up carefully today. She put on a beautiful brocade robe and a colorful headdress on her head. Her face was also rosy. Her beautiful eyes were like stars in the sky, blinking at Li Yan.

She no longer has the mischievous and careless look of her past, and appears to be very quiet and elegant.

Ashina Jing looked at Li Yan with pure and longing eyes, and the lingering love of a young girl in love softened Li Yan's heart.

Jie Li looked at Li Yan as if he were his son-in-law: "Li Yan, you have been in the grassland for five years. You are not young anymore. You are already the Right Wise King. You can't stay single forever. You have a saying in the Central Plains that men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough."

"Khan, I."

Li Yan was a little restless. He was interrupted by Jie Li just as he opened his mouth: "I know that you will return to the Central Plains one day, but even if you go to the Central Plains to be the emperor, you still have to get married. Jing'er is my jewel in the palm. I usually value her more than Shi Luodie."

"Whether you are the Right Wise King of the grassland or the Emperor of the Central Plains, as a legitimate Turkic princess, marrying you is not an insult to you."

"Besides, this is also Shi Luodie's good intention. If you want to thank someone, then thank him, right?"

Shi Luodie knew about Jie Li's test. Now that his father Khan asked him to bring his sister in, there was no doubt that Li Yan's loyalty would be beyond doubt.

The father Khan chose to win them over rather than eliminate them.

Shi Luodie was also very happy. He put his hand on Li Yan's shoulder and said with a grin, "Yes, Li Yan, we are brothers in life and death. Jing'er is my only sister. Her appearance and figure are one in a million on the grassland, and you watched her grow up."

"I know her feelings best. She has been interested in you for a long time. I am relieved to leave her to you."

"From now on, we are not only brothers, but also family. There is no need to thank you. Just treat my sister well in the future."

"Besides, who else on the grassland is worthy of the Turkic princess except you?"

Well.
Li Yan rolled his eyes in his heart: "Damn, you feel too good about yourself, thank you for nothing, who wants to marry your sister?"

I was just thinking about how to find an excuse to turn it down, and then I looked up.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him blankly. Seeing this, Li Yan, who had never frowned in the face of thousands of troops, suddenly became a little nervous. He secretly complained in his heart: "You two, father and son, are singing the same tune and making this king..."

"No, the marriage between this prince and the future emperor has been decided. Do you agree to this?"

Li Yan looked at the pretty, shy and charming woman sitting on the side, who was looking at him expectantly.

Ashina Jing sat there quietly, like a vivid painting.

Her face was like delicate porcelain, fair and translucent with a slight blush, just like the shyness of peach blossoms in early spring.

Her eyes are as deep as the sea, sparkling with innocence and gentleness, as if they could calm people's hearts.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, adding a bit of agility and playfulness to her.

Is this the reward I get after passing the test?
Li Yan certainly knew that Jie Li and his son did this with absolute good intentions, in order to win him over and show him great favor so that he could support Shi Luodie's succession to the throne in the future and be loyal to the Ashina family wholeheartedly.

I was just a little stunned, this picture seemed so déjà vu.

Frowning and thinking about it, Li Yan suddenly realized. Isn't this the scene in the original drama where Empress Changsun wanted to marry her daughter Princess Changle to Zhangsun Chong in order to win over Zhangsun Wuji?

Li Yan frowned, marriage is indeed the fastest and most stable way for the two forces to unite, it is much more reliable than sworn brotherhood.

Li Yan looked at Ashina Jing, whose face was embarrassed because of his silence. There was obvious shyness in her beautiful light blue eyes, but the boldness of the girl of the grassland still prompted her to look directly at him bravely, revealing her undisguised admiration.

I sighed in my heart. I thought that after leaving Chang'an, I would never encounter such a situation again.

Unexpectedly, it was the same everywhere. When you are in the upper echelons of power, it is inevitable to form alliances. Jie Li was obviously trying to win me over. Maybe he had this idea a long time ago, but at that time Ashina Jing was still young and I was an outsider.

But now it’s different. As the Right Wise King, he is an important figure in the Turkic Khanate.

Putting himself in Jie Li's shoes, if he were in Jie Li's position, he would definitely want to marry his daughter to himself. Whether it was the Right Wise King's support for Shi Luodie or his future return to the Tang Dynasty to become emperor, it was necessary to use marriage to bind the two parties together.

Li Yan quickly thought about the impact of this incident on his future plans. The development of things will not always be smooth sailing, and changes beyond one's expectations are inevitable. Li Yan can only make random adjustments to suit the changes in the situation.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the marriage with Jie Li will not have much impact on him. It is nothing more than a matter of marrying one more wife and having a few more sons.

I originally wanted to spread my bloodline widely, but after leaving the Tuli tribe, without Ashina Yun, this plan was temporarily stopped. Now that I have married Jie Li's daughter, it seems that there is not much difference between marrying Jie Li and marrying Tuli's daughter?

The grassland is vast and boundless, with countless tribes, and the Ashina clan is also full of factions. Because I saved Jie Li and helped him to establish the New Turkic Khanate, the Ashina clan is still the most powerful tribe and force on the grassland, and has an absolute dominant position. It can be said that if I want to control the grassland, I can't do without the Ashina clan.

It is even more inseparable from the crystallization of the two tribes, their common children.

On the other hand, if he rejected Jie Li, it would cause an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two parties, which would be disadvantageous to him. Jie Li and his son might even think that he was coveting the position of Khan, and that was why he did not accept their kindness.

Especially when he had worked hard for five years and was about to take action against Goguryeo, endless variables would arise.

For those in power, everyone is either one of them or an enemy.

Perhaps if he fails to win him over, Jie Li will change his attitude towards him, and he might even get rid of him to avoid him becoming a threat to Shi Luodie.

Although I am not afraid, all my years of hard work will be wasted.

Seeing that Li Yan was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, Jie Li's face suddenly darkened and he said unhappily, "Why, don't you think highly of Jing'er?"

Seeing Jie Li angry, Li Yan immediately put aside his brother-sister relationship with Ashina Jing, and his face showed infinite joy: "Khan, sister Jing'er is a beautiful woman with a kind heart. She is the most dazzling pearl on the grassland."

"I have long had feelings for Sister Jing'er, but I was afraid that I was a Han Chinese and would not be pleasing to your eyes, so I did not dare to speak out."

"To be honest, I haven't married for so many years because I'm waiting for my sister Jing'er to grow up. I didn't expect that you would give me such a big surprise today. I really don't know how to thank you for your great grace."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Jie Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't thank me. Thank Shi Luodie if you want to thank someone. Otherwise, I would not be willing to marry my daughter off."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. Li Yan will go through fire and water to repay your kindness." Li Yan treated Shi Luodie with the courtesy of a monarch and his subject without any hesitation.

Having been in the power arena for a long time, Li Yan is already familiar with these words of expressing loyalty and can come up with a lot of them without thinking.

Shi Luodie was even more delighted. With this great favor and this relationship, if he could conquer Goguryeo and Silla Baekje, the position of Khan would be a sure thing.

The three of them discussed it one after another and decided on Ashina Jing's lifelong affairs.

Seeing her wish come true, the little girl felt like she had eaten a big spoonful of honey. Her heart was filled with uncontrollable sweet joy. She could no longer sit still and said in a sweet voice: "Father, brother, I'll go to the back to see if there are any other dishes."

"Hahahaha." Ashina Jing's shame could not be suppressed, which caused Jie Li and Shi Luodie to laugh heartily.

Jie Li decisively said, "In this case, the marriage between our two families is settled. When I return from the battle against Goguryeo, I will arrange a marriage for you. From now on, we will be one family."

"Everything is up to the Khan!" Li Yan agreed without hesitation.

Shi Luodie was very happy, and joked with a smile: "By then, I'm afraid that Li Yan, you will have to change your words and call me Father Khan, hahahaha"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was particularly harmonious, and the hearts of each other became closer. Through the marriage, the vague barrier between the three seemed to disappear without a trace, and they truly became a family.

Li Yan had a satisfied look on his face, but he had a bitter smile on his heart. He originally just wanted to make use of Jie Li and his son, but now he has stepped in and is covered in mud. Who knows how much trouble will arise when he pulls himself out?
Forget it, let's take a step by step!

Afterwards, several people began to discuss the important matter of sending troops while drinking. After the marriage, it was obvious that their relationship had taken a step forward.

Jie Li's eyes turned friendly when he looked at Li Yan, as if he was looking at a younger member of his family.

Jie Li did not hesitate to express his views on tribal leaders and his experiences in fighting wars, and he intended to teach and train Shi Luodie and Li Yan.

Faced with Jie Li's earnest teachings and Shi Luodie's frankness, Li Yan became a little confused. How could he experience the feeling of being an undercover agent in Infernal Affairs again?

Half a month later, Qiu Muda ended.

Li Yan brought the subordinates of the Right Wise King back to Hulun Lake and began to deploy troops, asking each tribe to prepare their own weapons and dry food, and slowly gather in the southeast corner.

Helmu also learned that the Khan had betrothed his only daughter to Li Yan, which meant that the Right Wise King had found a suitable long-term position in Jie Li's power camp, and he could put his mind at ease.

Gu Rentu was even more of a war maniac. When he heard that there was going to be a war, he shouted excitedly, threw everything else behind his mind, and began to select soldiers and horses to make preparations for the war.
