"But in the past two months, I haven't heard anything about them fighting any battles."
At this point, he looked enlightened: "Right, didn't we have a conflict with Da Gan because of the Xijing incident?"
"The news I heard is that Da Gan seems to have won a battle, but further news seems to have been blocked, and I don't know what the final outcome was."
"That must be why the Tu Yuan Kingdom didn't send anyone."
"Are you being held back?" he asked tentatively to Mai Lirui.
Mai Lirui nodded slightly. "Possibly."
Fan Lilun laughed and then said, "Never mind!"
"No matter what, let's take this land!"
"Putting everything else aside, you really have a lot of people! Haha, Sir Merriwry, I think your Sassa Kingdom needs a large population."
Upon arriving here, Mai Lirui chuckled softly and said:
"Don't you need it?"
Fan Lilun laughed heartily: "Yes, yes!"
"We want people, we want land! We want everything!"
The words had barely left his mouth when he rolled his eyes and added, "Of course, the Kingdom of Sarutobi comes first!"
"Our Hunli Kingdom is nothing like Japan! Hahaha!"
Mai Lirui shook his head and said, "I think these Japanese are here with the idea of taking over the whole of Daqian."
Fan Lilun chuckled, stroking his very fleshy double chin: "Can he even eat that much?"
The full moon hangs high in the sky, carriages and horses stroll leisurely, and under the bright moonlight, a series of faint laughs flow from between the carriages and horses.

"Open the city gates immediately!!!"
Outside Zhongnan Pass, in the darkness of night, a group of soldiers hurried towards the pass, the leader shouting loudly.
Under the firelight, the military flag carried by this troop stood tall in the wind, bearing the character "Bear".
The guards dared not delay and hurriedly informed Commander Jin Huan.
Jin Huan was fast asleep when he was woken up and hurriedly went up to the city wall from the military camp. He had previously given an order that no one should be allowed to enter the pass before the arrival of the imperial reinforcements and before receiving his authorization.
At this moment, Jin Huan, who had already reached the city wall, looked closely and saw a troop of soldiers outside the pass shouting for the gate to be opened.
The number of soldiers was not large, only about a hundred people, most of them covered in blood, all looking exhausted, and many were trembling.
Although they carried a flag bearing the character "Xiong," the leader was not Xiong Qian, but his deputy, Xiong Chun, who was Xiong Qian's cousin.
At this moment, Xiong Chun's shouts from below the city wall were particularly loud:
"Why not open the city gates? Why not send reinforcements!"
"We have been fighting the rebels for several days. Although we suffered some setbacks at the beginning, we have not suffered a complete defeat. We are still fighting a bloody battle!"
"The battle is now at a stalemate; we only need one more reinforcement to win! We've been waiting for days, why hasn't anyone come?"
Xiong Chun roared, his face, stained with blood, filled with grief and indignation.
The scene was so tragic that it was deeply moving.
