Therefore, Imperial Father does everything possible, to resist the Buddha Sect influence, the stable Great Yue state system is complete, this planned Amassing Sand Army.” 司马赤面容凛然,轻声道:“大月皇族如今最为忌惮的,便是佛门。为此,父皇可谓是想尽办法,为了对抗佛门势力,稳固大月国体完整,这才策划了聚沙军。” „This humble general also heard.” Wei He nods. Now and relations of Buddha Sect fall the freezing point, he does not need to continue to conceal anything again. “这点末将也有所耳闻。”魏合点头。如今和佛门的关系降到冰点,他也不用再继续掩饰什么。 Made an arrest to rob one time by Buddha Sect Grandmaster, he displays like this is normal. 都被佛门宗师抓人抢走了一次,他这样的表现才算正常。 „But does to the Buddha Sect influence huge, therefore in the Imperial Father eye, regardless of other any strengths, so long as can be of help, can help him resist Buddha Sect, he all comes are welcome.” Sima Chi narrows a low and deep say/way. “但奈何佛门势力庞然,所以在父皇眼中,无论其余任何力量,只要能有所助益,能助他对抗佛门,他都来者不拒。”司马赤眯眼低沉道。 „The meaning of your highness, humble general understands.” Wei He nods.

After all Hanquan is also heavy to his affectionate righteousness. 所以对于定亲,魏合并未抗拒。毕竟寒泉对他也情深义重。
