In the inner city of the Great Wall, Qiu Lijin stood under the Qin army's battle flag, looking around uneasily.

The girl beside him gripped her warhammer tightly, remaining silent.

After arriving outside the city last night, I was not allowed to enter the city until this morning.

However, compared to observing from outside the city, actually getting close to the Great Wall and entering it, I felt so small.

Under that blood-red battle flag, a blood-red black dragon seemed to soar straight into the sky, filled with ferocious killing intent.

Qiu Lijin exclaimed, "What a terrifying Qin army!"

I wonder if the Qin army will come to see them after leaving them here.

Soon, footsteps sounded nearby. Qiu Lijin looked on in shock as the young figure walked in, surrounded by admirers.

The girl next to her exclaimed, "I really want to take it back!"

The Yuezhi men were handsome and the women were beautiful, but the moment that figure appeared, it seemed to completely steal everyone's attention!

They were also invited over and followed the figure into a pavilion.

Zhao Long enjoyed the tea brewed by Princess Loulan. After taking a sip, he looked at the group of Yuezhi people who had come to stand in front of him.

Zhao Long casually asked, "The Yuezhi prince, Qiulijin?"

A simple sentence, yet it seemed to carry the imposing force of a thousand troops charging forward, and also a suffocating feeling of the heavens and earth pressing down.

The previous gloom and arrogance were nowhere to be seen on Qiulijin's face. He said with a smile, "This general of Great Qin, I am Qiulijin, the fourth prince of Yuezhi."

"This is Princess Qiuliyin of the Yuezhi."

After listening to the translation, Zhao Long's eyes looked a little strange. The King of Gold and Silver?

He put down his tea and glanced at Qiu Liyin for a few moments.

The woman has such a muscular physique, it feels like she could kill a bull with one punch!

"What brings you to the Great Qin?"

"I am a prince of the Yuezhi, who was framed by a villain and forced to leave the Yuezhi. I beg the general to lend me 50,000 troops and listen to my plan for revenge."

"After we have eliminated those rebels, the Yuezhi are willing to honor His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin as the Heavenly Chanyu and will never betray him."

Chulijin knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Both his attitude and the tone of his voice exuded sincerity.

The Qin Emperor's scrutinizing gaze lingered on these individuals, his mind already replaying the events.

Did the Yuezhi experience internal strife during this period?

If I remember correctly, the Xiongnu took advantage of the Chu-Han Contention to launch a formal attack on the Hexi Corridor and defeat the Yuezhi.

Although the Yuezhi were not as powerful as the Xiongnu, they still had 100,000 cavalry, so their defeat was indeed very strange.

Internal strife is indeed a very real possibility.

Zhao Long became curious, but he still maintained a nonchalant expression: "Tell me more about it?"

After listening to Qiulijin's explanation, it turned out that the old Yuezhi king had died, and a battle for succession had broken out.

This fourth prince of the Yuezhi was nothing but a loser.

"What makes you think that the Qin Dynasty would be willing to help you?"

“General of Qin, we have brought many Qin spies with us this time. They say they are from Nanyue and want to support the Yuezhi to fight against Qin.”

“I have known since childhood that there is a powerful Qin Empire in the East. I am very angry at these traitors of Qin, so I brought them and the Yuezhi to pay homage to Qin.”

"We hope that the Qin Dynasty can give the Yuezhi a chance to submit!"

The fourth prince offered the entire Yuezhi as a bargaining chip, inviting the Qin army to attack Yuezhi.

His head was lowered, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

These words were not just his nonsense.

Even before the Yuezhi had formed a unified state, friction began to occur between them and the Qin state.

Even today, the Yuezhi are well aware of the formidable military strength of the Qin state.

The Yuezhi preferred to expand into the western wilderness rather than attack the city walls defended by the Qin army.

The Qin Empire was extremely powerful.

During this period of great turmoil in Yuezhi, these people from Nanyue came and spoke of the powerful strength of the Qin state, hoping that Yuezhi could assist in attacking Qin.

Completely losing the battle for the throne, Qiu Lijin was in despair and immediately thought of the Qin Empire, a powerful and mysterious Eastern power.

Some shameless fellows had already started flirting with the Xiongnu long before.

Why can't he seek support from the Qin Dynasty?

So he simply kidnapped these Nanyue envoys and brought them to the Qin state seeking support.

Regardless of whether the fourth prince's identity is true or false, his aura clearly indicates that he is either rich or noble.

When they kneel like that, their sincerity is quite evident.

"So, why doesn't the Qin Dynasty send 50,000 troops to sweep away the Yuezhi themselves, instead of helping you attack them?"

"The Great Qin does not need the Yuezhi's submission!"

After hearing the translator's words, the fourth prince, who had been waiting for a reply, looked at the Qin Emperor, who was exuding power, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Qin generals, you are indeed very powerful, but the Yuezhi have 100,000 warriors, and there are still some Xiongnu traitors mixed in with the Yuezhi."

"It's impossible for an army of 50,000 to sweep through the Yuezhi."

"Only with my support can we defeat the Yuezhi."

"The terrain of that wilderness was already in my mind."

Qiu Lijin spoke with some dissatisfaction.

What good things are the Qin people thinking?

Do you think you can take down the Yuezhi with just 50,000 men?

The wilderness is the cavalry's home ground, and 50,000 men was already an overestimation of the Qin army's strength!

These Qin people are truly greedy; even the submission of the Yuezhi couldn't satisfy their appetites.

"If I say it's possible, then it's possible!"

Zhao Long stood up, his eyes becoming somewhat sharp!

We will not return until we have defeated the Yuezhi!

The Qin army's westward expedition was specifically planned to destroy the Yuezhi.

These nomadic tribes roaming the Hexi Corridor would become a huge stumbling block on the Qin army's westward expedition.

What Zhao Long wanted was to completely incorporate the Hexi Corridor into the Qin territory, not to make it a vassal state.

When the emperor's majesty is fully unleashed.

The two kneeling figures, Qiulijin and his companion, felt as if they were seeing the former Yuezhi king.

"If the generals of Qin have such imposing presence, how terrifying must the King of Qin be?"

The translator overheard their murmurs, couldn't help but smile, and explained, "This is our Emperor of Qin."

Qiu Lijin was stunned, staring at Emperor Qin in disbelief.

How could this young Qin emperor be the one described by the Nanyue envoy as the one who swept away the rebels of the Great Qin Empire in just a few years and who would inevitably attack the Yuezhi in the future?

The imposing presence emanating from the Qin Emperor was undeniable.

Qiu Lijin never expected that he would be so lucky as to directly encounter someone in the Great Qin who could make decisions.

Without hesitation, he shouted, "Your Majesty, I, Qiulijin, am willing to become part of the Great Qin royal army, leading the royal army to suppress the Yuezhi rebels!"

Zhao Long frowned slightly as he looked at Qiu Lijin, whose temper changed faster than flipping through a book. This was an extremely shameless prince.

Those with impure intentions cannot be trusted.

Just as Zhao Long was about to reprimand him, he saw Qiu Liyin push him aside, and when he looked up at Zhao Long, he revealed an even more fawning smile.

"My sister and I are willing to go through fire and water for the Great Qin, Your Majesty."
