Qiu Li said, "Although life is leisurely now, I can't live in peace until I know the results of my actions. General Mu, please give us your explanation on whether to kill or slay me."

At this point, Mu Yunfeng knew that the game couldn't continue. Qiu Li was already in a state of confusion. Playing chess with Qiu Li now was a torture.

Mu Yunfeng put down the chess piece and said, "General Qiu, why are you so anxious? We are just pawns in His Majesty's hands, not to mention that you are now a prisoner of our Wei State. What qualifications do you have to make demands here?"

However, considering you were once a general of the Gan Kingdom, I will report your situation to His Majesty and strive for a clear answer. And finally, playing chess with you is truly pointless. You lack even the basic qualities of a chess player. No matter what happens, you must finish the game. This is the proper demeanor of a chess player."

After saying that, Mu Yundian left the room, leaving Qiu Li sitting alone in the deserted room. Qiu Li looked at the chessboard in front of him. The chess pieces he placed were very advantageous. As long as he didn't feel confused, he would have a good chance of winning against Mu Yunfeng. However, he became confused when he heard the news that Wei was supporting Japan.

If I think about it carefully, this matter has nothing to do with me at all. Why should I pay attention to disputes that have nothing to do with me? The future of the country and the fate of my family are no longer under my control. Instead of being anxious here, I should calm down and wait for fate to decide.

Qiu Li took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze became firm, his eyes fixed only on the chessboard and chess pieces before him. At this moment, he began to play chess with himself based on the tragedy.

As the game progressed, Qiu Li's original white chess piece gained more and more advantages, and just when the white chess piece was about to win, Qiu Li stopped his movements. He no longer cared about winning or losing, nor was he confused about the future.

Qiu Li slowly stood up, walked out of the room and went to Mu Yunfeng's military camp. Qiu Li and Mu Yunfeng had spent a whole day and night in the military camp discussing matters. No one knew what they had discussed, but the next day, Qiu Li strolled through Lincheng with a calm demeanor, as if he had become a completely different person.

When Mu Yunfeng's memorial was delivered to the Royal Government Affairs Office, Chu Anping slapped his head and felt secretly annoyed. After the war in the north was settled, His Majesty asked the Royal Government Affairs Office to reward the meritorious officials. In addition, His Majesty arranged for the second generation of officials to go to the northern cities for training. For a while, he forgot about Qiu Li's matter.

Because Qiu Li was a general of the Gan Kingdom, the Royal Government Affairs Office certainly had no authority to deal with such prisoners of war. Chu Anping had originally thought that His Majesty would hold a morning court session to specifically mention this matter, but he had never expected that His Majesty had not issued an order on how to deal with Qiu Li, the enemy general, for such a long time.

Chu Anping hurried into the palace to report the matter to Chu Fan. Chu Fan frowned slightly and said after a moment's silence, "Leave this matter to General Mu Yunfeng. After all, they are the ones who captured General Qiu Li, and Mu Yunfeng knows Qiu Li better. Perhaps he has his own plans for Qiu Li.

But just one thing: don't let Qiu Li be our Wei general's instructor. Our Wei generals all have their own fighting styles, and there's no need to learn other people's tactics."

After receiving Chu Fan's order, Chu Anping returned to the Royal Government Affairs Office and quickly conveyed the emperor's will, and arranged for personnel to deliver the relevant documents to Mu Yunfeng's military camp.

When Mu Yunfeng received the imperial edict, he smiled faintly, a plan already in mind. Meanwhile, Qiu Li was eager to know how Wei would deal with him, a former general. When Mu Yunfeng handed Qiu Li the document from the Imperial Affairs Office, he was filled with shock.

Qiu Li asked in confusion, "Does the Emperor of Wei trust you, the generals, so much? He actually placed the power to dispose of a great general in your hands? Isn't he afraid that you might take this opportunity to expand your power or even betray Wei?"

You must know that in Gan State, the emperor has extremely strict control over the power of generals and will never delegate his power easily. You must know that as the general of Gan State, Qiu Li only led an army of 200,000 troops at the time, and there were also the emperor's military supervisors in the army who were always monitoring him, fearing that he would do anything wrong.

This was also one of the reasons why he fled when he was suddenly attacked by the Wei army. At that time, there were not many people in the army who could obey his command, not to mention that it would be even more difficult to organize an effective resistance when the enemy suddenly attacked the camp.

Mu Yunfeng took back the document and smiled faintly, "General Qiu, our Wei Kingdom's Majesty is a monarch of great talent and wisdom. He would never harbor suspicion towards his subjects. If you knew that the current Minister of War of Wei Kingdom is my brother Mu Yundian, what would you think? If you knew that our Mu family actually controls nearly half of Wei Kingdom's military power, if this happened in Gan Kingdom, then General Qiu, what do you think we would do?"

Qiu Li looked at Mu Yunfeng in disbelief. He had also heard some rumors about the Emperor of Wei in Lincheng, but he always believed that those were just the people of his country worshipping their monarch, so they were just exaggerating and showing off the decisions made by the Emperor of Wei.

When Qiu Li learned about the immense military power held by Mu Yunfeng and the Mu family within the Wei Kingdom, he was reluctant to believe that an emperor could dare to hand over so much military power to a single family. However, with the facts before him, he was forced to reassess the magnanimity of the Wei Emperor. At the same time, he lamented inwardly why he had never met such a wise leader.

Qiu Li was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Not only me, but even the generals of other countries on Shengwu Continent would not believe this. If I had not personally seen the document sent to you by Emperor Wei, I would never have believed that there is such a broad-minded monarch in this world.

There's no general on the Shengwu Continent who doesn't long to meet a monarch who trusts his subjects so much. If a general were to control nearly half of the military power in Gan Country, even if he were to command a hundred thousand troops, the emperor of Gan Country would be unable to sleep or eat.

Mu Yunfeng said, "Actually, I have one thing I need to correct you on. This document was not sent to me by the Emperor of Wei. Instead, it was sent to me by the princes of the Royal Government Affairs Office of Wei after they asked for your Majesty's opinion. It seems that I haven't seen an imperial edict issued by your Majesty in person for a long time."

Qiu Li looked at Mu Yunfeng in disbelief, his heart pounding. Did the Wei Kingdom even have a Royal Government Affairs Office that could send various documents to officials on behalf of the emperor?
