There was a slight stillness in the air, and the wind from the Mobei grassland blew against the military tent, making a whistling sound.

"You don't understand what I mean, Di Yulin..." Si Yan said in a gentle tone, "Peace doesn't necessarily need to be created, it can also be maintained."

Di Yulin narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Yan: "Are you dreaming, Ayan? Do you think it's possible?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

Si Yan said solemnly, "As long as Beimang Nation doesn't provoke wars everywhere, the world will be in relative peace. If we can maintain peace among multiple countries and allow the people of each country to live and work in peace and contentment, that will be our greatest contribution to this world."

Di Yulin's expression changed again and again as he looked at Si Yan.

"Ayan, do you really think so, or is this just a delaying tactic?"

Di Yulin suddenly realized that he could not see through this woman.

Si Yan opened her red lips slightly: "I really think so."

Di Yulin fell into a long silence.

"Ah Yan, don't you want the world to be unified? Don't you want us to achieve hegemony together?"

"I don't have such big ambitions. I just hope that all the people in the world can live in peace. Whether they are from Daxuan, Beimang, Yan, or Gao, they can all live and work in peace..."

"Impossible, Ayan."

Di Yulin shook his head slightly, "The Northern Mang Kingdom is determined to conquer the world and unify the nine provinces. No one can stop it."

The Northern Mang Kingdom has been striving for this dream for more than half a century, or more than fifty years, under the rule of two generations of emperors.

Today, Beimang Kingdom has become the most powerful country on the Jiuzhou continent, and unifying the world has become a trend.

The speeding carriage of Beimang Kingdom cannot be stopped.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Di Yulin: "We can join forces to maintain world peace. You are the prince of Beimang Kingdom, you can do whatever you want."

This was the time in Di Yulin's life when he felt closest to Si Yan.

As long as he compromises his own dreams and moves forward along Si Yan's dreams, they will no longer be enemies.

Di Yulin's eyes were red as he looked at the woman he loved deeply in his past and present lives.

"Then can we go back to the way we were before? Can you come back to me?"

The wind outside the tent was whistling in his ears. Di Yulin waited quietly for Si Yan, but all he got was her silence.

Si Yan’s answer was no.

"Di Yulin, we missed it a long time ago."

Si Yan's expression was cold, and the spark in his eyes when he looked at the boy opposite him was no longer there.

Di Yulin sneered, "The alliance between Daxuan and Yan relies on you and Yan Longyi being together. So what do you rely on to maintain peace between Daxuan and Beimang?"

"It depends on our original aspirations, and on our shared desire for world peace."

"Hahaha!" Di Yulin laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "You are wrong, Ah Yan. What I want is not world peace, but world unification. What I want is world hegemony, to have everything in the nine provinces under my feet."

Si Yan looked at Di Yulin and said, "Corpses strewn across the fields, smoke and flames of war, soldiers wrapped in horsehide, and civilians displaced. Is this what you wanted to see?"

"Yes, Ah Yan." Di Yulin's eyes flashed with cruelty. "For the sake of future unification and permanent peace, a short-term sacrifice is worth it."

"Sacrifice? Who should sacrifice? What you call forever, how long can it last? The world's general trend is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. If we can maintain relative peace throughout the world during our lifetime, it will be our achievement."

Di Yulin was stunned. For a moment, he really couldn't understand what Si Yan was thinking.

Does this girl really have such an idea, or is she trying to confuse him, the prince of Beimang Kingdom?

Could it be that she really doesn't want to unify the world and achieve hegemony?

"Ah Yan, don't worry about it. Even if I give up, my father will never give up. He is a great hero and has long been prepared to pacify the Central Plains."

Seeing Di Yulin's determined expression, Si Yan didn't say anything more.

Her expression was cold: "Then I have no choice but to kill you."

The air pressure dropped suddenly, and the surroundings seemed to be frozen.

Di Yulin grinned, a ghostly smile blooming on his lips.

"Do you think it's okay to kill me, Ayan?"

Di Yulin's tone was as gentle as the wind, as soft as a whisper.

"Do you think that since I was involved in the conspiracy to kill you and you figured it out, you deserve to kill me a thousand or ten thousand times?"

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him, his eyes were unfathomable: "What do you think?"

Di Yulin chuckled: "Whether you believe it or not, I have never thought of killing you, Ah Yan..."

Di Yulin had a bright smile on his face, so bright that it was a little dazzling.

He lowered his head slightly, leaned over, bit the teacup on the table, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

When Ayan goes on a march, he never brings useless things like tea.

Di Yulin glanced outside the tent and saw Boya still standing there.

Crossing the desert and bringing good tea, he is worthy of being the wealthy master of Yayue Pavilion.

"The past cannot be recalled." Si Yan replied indifferently.

It is impossible to verify what Di Yulin was thinking at the time.

The only thing Si Yan knew was that he had actually agreed to someone else's conspiracy.

But before the execution, he went to the battlefield and lost his life.

Therefore, Si Yan had no idea whether Di Yulin would carry out the conspiracy.

"I never thought of using a mission to kill you."

Si Yan's voice rang in Di Yulin's ears.

Di Yulin burst into laughter. "Really? Ah Yan, is that how you comfort yourself? You sent me on that most dangerous mission. Did you ever think I would come back?"

"Nothing matters anymore. We have come to another world and started a new life for each other."

"Important! Why not? You thought I would act according to the plan of that conspiracy and kill you, didn't you? But you don't know that I never thought of killing you."

Di Yulin was like a roaring lion. "On the surface, I agreed to join them in dealing with you, but it was just to keep them in check. Deep down, I never thought of betraying you, but you sent me to death without even giving me a chance to explain."

"You should have explained it long ago. You had countless opportunities, but you didn't. Now you come and tell me that you never thought of killing me. Do you think I will believe you?"

"Hahaha! You don't dare to believe it!" Di Yulin enunciated each word, his angry roar deafening. "You don't want to believe it either."

He looked at Si Yan who was standing as still as a mountain across from him.

"If you believe that, then sending your beloved to the Middle East battlefield to carry out the most dangerous mission will become a joke. How can the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army admit that he has become a joke?"

There was a chill in the air as the two men stared at each other without speaking for a long time.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think my choice is a joke."

Si Yan's tone was as strong as the wind. "As a soldier of the Huaxia Empire, it is your duty to carry out national missions. It is your responsibility. Di Yulin, only you can complete that mission."

"Yes, I'll use my life to accomplish it." Di Yulin laughed again. "So that's how you comfort yourself. This way, you can logically convince yourself and then kill me with a clear conscience?"

Di Yulin looked at the woman opposite with deep black eyes: "Si Yan, you owe me a life, and you also owe me love."
