Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Yelü Hongji had considered that the Qin and Han dynasties might try to bargain or make exorbitant demands, but he never thought of that.

This person actually refused.

noble.

There truly are such noble and outstanding people in the Central Plains.

Yelü Hongji looked at Qin Han with gratitude and admiration, but also with a sense of guilt.

I felt like I was judging others by my own petty standards; people from the Central Plains are too particular!

"Hero Qin...it was I...it was I who was presumptuous!"

Yelü Hongji said with remorse.

Qin Han smiled slightly. Although Yelü Hongji always referred to himself as "朕" (the imperial "I"), it didn't really affect his conversation with him.

"Your Majesty need not do this. Helping you reclaim the throne is simply our duty. However..."

Qin Han changed the subject, a troubled look on his face.

"Although my martial arts skills are not weak and I have some men under my command, I am ultimately outnumbered and outmatched. To fight against the combined forces of Yelü Chongyuan and the Jin Dynasty, I'm afraid... I'm simply outmatched."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Hongji felt a pang of anxiety.

Yes, no matter how powerful the Qin and Han dynasties were, they only had a few hundred people.

Yelü Chongyuan has probably already announced his death in the capital. As long as he doesn't show up, he will soon be able to control the civil and military officials who are loyal to him.

Looking at Yelü Hongji's expression, Qin Han pondered for a moment, as if deep in thought.

He soon began to make outrageous statements.

"However, it's not entirely hopeless."

"Qin is actually the new leader of the Ming Cult, and he still has some influence in Sichuan. He also has hundreds of thousands of loyal followers under his command. As long as I have some time to gather men, organize the troops, and raise an army of 100,000, it will not be difficult."

"I will send a skilled warrior to escort the Emperor back to the capital to summon his loyal subordinates."

"At that time, I will lead my troops forward, and together with Your Majesty's former subordinates, we will surely defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and help you regain the throne!"

"The leader of the Ming Cult?!"

Yelü Hongji was greatly surprised. Hundreds of thousands of followers?

So this is what you mean by not having many men under your command?!

He had also heard of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

It was a vast and powerful sect with believers all over the world.

To everyone's surprise, the young hero in front of them was actually the leader of the Ming Cult!

ecstasy!

An unparalleled ecstasy welled up in Yelü Hongji's heart.

If just now we only saw a glimmer of hope...

Now, with the help of the entire Ming Cult, what is there to worry about in achieving our great goal?!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yelü Hongji said "good" three times.

Looking at Qin Han, he had already made up his mind.

But soon a problem arose: he did have loyal subordinates in the capital, but with a new emperor came a new court, and he feared that news of his death would be spread by Yelü Chongyuan.

If he waits until Qin Han gathers his old subordinates to reclaim power, and Qin Han cooperates with him to regain the throne as agreed, that would be fine. But if Qin Han reneges halfway through, he will be trapped in the capital again...

This scene is terrifying.

It's tantamount to walking into a trap, willingly entering Yelü Chongyuan's arms!

Having been betrayed by his younger brother, Yelü Hongji dared not easily trust anyone. What method could he use to completely bind the Ming Cult leader to his side?

His gaze quickly shifted to a girl not far away, who was being closely protected by several guards.

That was Yelü Hongji's daughter, the fourth princess who had escaped with him.

A thought crossed my mind.

Yelü Hongji held Qin Han's hand and solemnly said:

"Master Qin, you are of noble character and do not seek land or wealth. But if I do not show my appreciation, I will feel truly ashamed."

"I have a daughter named Yelü Yan, who is eighteen years old and unmarried."

Yelü Yan was originally the daughter of Yelü Chucai and the younger sister of Yelü Qi. She later married Wu Dunru, the eldest son of Wu Santong.

However, in this world, Yelü Yan is clearly Yelü Hongji's daughter. Yelü Hongji has four daughters in total, all born to Empress Xiao Guanyin.

The youngest was Yelü Yan.

Yelü Hongji pointed to the girl not far away.

"I wish to betroth my daughter to Master Qin, and bestow upon him the title of Southern King of my Great Liao, establishing a brotherly alliance between us!"

"What are your thoughts, Leader Qin?"

Yelü Hongji's voice echoed in the wind.

Marry the princess and crown her king!

This is not a simple marriage of daughters; it is a direct attempt to win over the nation, a political marriage that gambles on the fate of the country!

The Ming Cult members who came along were dumbfounded, especially Wei Yixiao, the old bat, who felt that his new leader was too powerful.

Is he going to become the Liao Kingdom's son-in-law?

The others then focused their attention on Qin Han.

The Khitan guards loyal to Yelü Hongji looked at Qin Han with complicated expressions. Considering the probability of the Song Dynasty sending troops, they realized that they might really have to rely on this Qin leader in front of them.

Only Xiao Zhao, clutching the knife, looked unhappy, her little mouth pouting high.

Princess Yelü, whose name was called, blushed instantly.

He had been secretly observing Qin Han before, and now he was observing him even more closely.

The man before her was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. His arrow strike just now was full of masculine spirit, and such a person was most attractive to women of the grasslands.

More importantly, he was a hero who appeared out of nowhere when his father was in the most desperate moment.

Which girl doesn't dream of love?

Yelü Yan's heart pounded wildly, like a deer in the wind.

Although she has always been born into a noble family, she prefers military attire to feminine dresses. She has an innate admiration for those with high martial arts skills, which can be described as a woman's instinctive awe of the strong.

Royal marriages were never a matter of personal choice.

Rather than marrying a complete stranger, royalty or nobleman, it seems...

Marrying this hero isn't such a bad choice.

Qin Han felt strange. He had encountered Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, two sycophants, at the inn before, and had thought to himself at the time.

I wanted to make those two brothers stay single if I had the chance, but I didn't expect one of them to come true so soon.

He had a troubled expression on his face.

She glanced at Yelü Hongji, then at the charming and beautiful Yelü Yan, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Xiao Zhao's.

To agree or not to agree?

The benefits of agreeing are obvious.

By marrying into the Liao royal family, Qin Han's identity would no longer be merely that of a martial arts sect leader.

He will become the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom and replace Qiao Feng as the future King of the Southern Court.

This identity will provide him with an excellent political shield.

However, the identity of the Southern King was too sensitive, and he would need to maintain his military power in Sichuan in the future. What Qin Han wanted was for the Southern Song emperor to grant him the title of king and grant him amnesty, which would be in his best interest.

However, a marriage alliance is still possible. Once Sichuan is taken over, the Song Dynasty will have to consider the Liao Dynasty's reaction if it wants to take action against him.

This will undoubtedly make his subsequent plans much smoother.

Moreover, Yelü Yan was indeed a beauty, and it would be a real waste for her to marry Wu Dunru.

Moreover, Yelü Yan is one of the few clear-headed women in The Return of the Condor Heroes. While other women are bewitched by Yang Guo's seductive charm, she alone remains clear-headed and promptly severs her emotional ties.

With her in person, the unique blend of heroism and charm of the grassland woman was even more captivating.

A wife offered to you for free, why not take her?

If the Southern Song emperor is truly determined to eliminate this rebel king, he might as well just break off relations and defect to the Liao Dynasty to become the Southern King.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to seize power from the Liao Dynasty and then march south to establish a new Han dynasty.

Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Han's mind, and he finally figured out the key point, so he spoke to Yelü Hongji.

"Your Majesty's favor is too great for me, Qin... I am unworthy of it!"

"The princess is of noble birth, while Qin Han is but a commoner; how could they possibly be a match for her? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

I still have to put on an act, pretending that I'm not the kind of person who covets wealth and beauty.
