Qin Ze slowly stood up and continued:

"That day I was thinking, when I overthrow the Jin family and unify the world in the future, what will I do with you barbarians?"

"The Huma people in Beiku have never submitted to our country. They have been burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil over the years. It is understandable to destroy them."

"But your barbarian tribe has surrendered since the battle in Chiyang Valley many years ago, and there has been no trouble since then. Now we live on the same land and consider our countrymen."

"Killing him would prevent possible unrest in the future."

"But at this moment, it is indeed a dilemma. The Jin family is gone, and it is not appropriate to start another war on this vast country."

Having said that, Qin Ze lowered his head and looked at Wu Li.

"There are many brave people among the barbarians. Whether it was the battle at Yanluo Mountain or last year, all of them died in battle. No one was afraid of fighting and surrendered."

"Wu Kui is so ambitious that he brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers here. I think it's not just to cooperate with Jin Fengluan to suppress me. He also wants to achieve hegemony."

Wu Li, with tears in his eyes, no longer wanted to hide it. He nodded tremblingly and said in tears:

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, you sent out your army to fight for the world."

Qin Ze nodded slightly:

"If I weren't there, maybe he could have made some achievements, but there is no doubt that your barbarian tribe will eventually perish after fighting to the end."

"Either they will die at the hands of Jin Fengluan's Shen Jiying, or they will die in a war of foreign invasion."

"In this world, there are so many ambitious people who want to take control of it, but after all the killings along the way, it is the common people who suffer in the end."

"The barbarians are mostly brave people. They may laugh at the things that happen when people sacrifice their lives, but they feel sorry for the ordinary people."

"Get up."

Qin Ze took a step forward and extended his hand to the old man with a sad face.

Facing this outstretched hand, Wu Li knew that the barbarians would be safe, but now he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Are you happy? I should be happy. I have honestly said everything in my heart, and it has brought a good result.

But at the same time, I am sad because I have experienced deep sorrow again. From Chiyang Valley to Yanluo Mountain, these two lessons have brought me today's clarity.

But the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and the barbarians will set out again.

He took the extended hand and staggered to his feet.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Li burst into tears and bowed sincerely.

Qin Ze nodded and suddenly asked:

"How old are you this year?"

"I'm seventy-six years old." Wu Li wiped away his tears and replied.

"Well, you're not young anymore." Qin Ze turned and walked towards the palace gate, and Wu Li followed him.

"Take care of yourself and live a long life." Qin Ze said as he walked.

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty, but I..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ze stopped and turned to look at him, his expression particularly serious:

"You are the clan leader. You need to live as long as possible."

"It's very important to me, and even more important to you barbarians." After saying this, he continued walking forward.

Wu Li was stunned, but soon understood what he meant:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"No need to say anything else, you and I both know what's going on. Now I'm going to take my army to visit your barbarian tribe."

"To be honest, it's much better for you to bring people to Nanze than for me to bring people to Nanze."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

They had already left the palace and horses were already prepared outside the door. Qin Ze climbed on the horse and Wu Li also sat on a war horse.

On the way, Qin Ze said again:

"Jin Pingwu, you did a great job in catching it for me."

"It saved me some effort, but Jin Weizun is still missing. I think he escaped from Nanze a long time ago. I can't stay here for long. After going to your Guiyun City, I can only rest for one night and leave the next day. I will leave some soldiers to continue to hunt down the escaped Jin family. The southern barbarians are facing Nanze, so you have to help me hunt them down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" At this moment, Wu Li's expression relaxed a lot, and his voice was no longer so weak.

"What the barbarians should do in the future? Actually, I don't need to tell you. You know it all in your heart. The world is peaceful now, and there can be no more disputes. But you barbarians are different from other people. Although you live in the same land, you are too clinging and have a strong sense of ethnicity. It may be possible to separate you, but you people will definitely not be willing to do so."

Wu Li didn't know how to answer, he knew that what Qin Ze said was true.

"Don't worry, I won't do that."

"From now on, you will govern yourself."

Hearing this, Wu Li was stunned.

"autonomy?"

"Well, the barbarians are responsible for their own affairs. Of course, important positions, such as the chieftain, must be approved by the court. Not only that, but you must also make sure that your people remember one thing: the name of 'barbarian' is important, but the country is the most important!"

"You are a barbarian, and even more so a Yan countryman."

"Everyone must understand what is important and what is not. This task is arduous and long. It is difficult to change people's inherent concepts. This requires the teaching of generations."

At this point, Qin Ze raised his head and looked at the clear sky.

"But I believe that one day,

"After all, no one would not want to live a stable and peaceful life."

Wu Li was deeply touched and immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

When they were about to reach the city gate, Wu Li said sincerely, "Your Majesty, we will have to wait until night before we can reach Guiyun City."

"I beg Your Majesty to stay in Guiyun City for a few more days so that we can host a banquet to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

"No need. There will be plenty of opportunities to visit your barbarian tribe in the future."

"Tomorrow I will be on my way home to Nangang. I have something very important to do there."

Seeing that he refused outright, Wu Li couldn't help but ask, "What is your majesty still worried about? The Jin family has been overthrown."

"I believe that the few members of the Jin family who escaped will be caught in the near future."

Qin Ze narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips slightly:

"The civil strife has been settled, and the country is at peace."

"But things are not peaceful outside. A bunch of foreign countries are still eyeing our Yan Country covetously."

"The fleet they sent has already arrived in the South China Sea. We are not allowed to meet with them."

"This...is there going to be another fight?" Wu Li's heart suddenly tensed up.

"They came to us with their fleet, not for a fight, why?" Qin Ze turned his head to look at Wu Li, with a smile on his face.

Wu Li's cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

"We just fought a great war. Are we going to fight a foreign country again right now? I wonder how strong their troops are?"

"It's not just a foreign country, it's a coalition of many countries. How can we know how many troops they have?" Qin Ze said calmly.

But Wu Li is not indifferent.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped onto the ground, and his face instantly turned ugly.

The world is at peace now, and the barbarians will prosper in the future, but now there are a lot of foreign enemies eyeing them covetously. How can this not make people worried?

At this time, Wu Li felt mixed emotions.

"How come so many foreign countries are paying attention to me? What... should I do in the future?" he said anxiously.

Seeing him so nervous, Qin Ze laughed.

"Why panic?"

"I said it before in Nanze that I would declare war on all nations!"

"Now that their advance troops have come uninvited, we should treat them with an iron fist and give them a good beating!"

Looking at Qin Ze, who was full of confidence and smiled recklessly and even arrogantly, Wu Li was stunned for a moment.

Huh? No! Declare war on all nations?!

The world has only been at peace today, do we have the strength to declare war on all nations now? !

How can one take such a big step?!
