Looking at the old man's solemn expression, Qin Ze raised an eyebrow and said, "You want to send troops to help me?"
Wu Li said solemnly, "Your Majesty, as people of the same country, how can we stand idly by when foreign enemies are eyeing our land?"
Qin Ze smiled faintly and nodded.
Wu Li's expression remained solemn. He continued, "Today I witnessed His Majesty's army, which is indeed valiant and extraordinary. But as His Majesty said, there are several foreign nations eyeing our land with covetousness, so their strength should not be underestimated."
"Since His Majesty has decided to wage war against them, then everyone should contribute their strength."
"When the Yan Kingdom is strong, the barbarians are strong; when the Yan Kingdom prospers, the barbarians prosper."
Qin Ze crossed his arms and listened quietly.
"Now that the world has finally returned to peace and the strife has ended, if there are no foreign enemies to covet it, it will surely prosper in the future. But since they have already come, there is no reason to be afraid."
"Your Majesty, we will certainly support your decision!" Wu Li said earnestly.
Earlier on the way, he had talked with Qin Ze the whole way. Although he was surprised at first when Qin Ze talked about declaring war on all nations, after Qin Ze told him about what happened in Nangang, he was left only with anger.
—No matter how much we fight, when has it become your place as outsiders to get involved?
—Throughout history, this land has been the site of countless battles for thousands of years, producing countless heroes and valiant figures. You bunch of foreigners are so arrogant, trying to take advantage of us? Do you think we're pushovers that we can just squeeze at will?
—Huh? You actually came?! Then you've already made your way to death!
Wu Li's anger was simple and pure, and it was also the most typical example of this land.
It's like a family of brothers dividing up their inheritance. They can't agree on the amount, so they argue, and it eventually escalates into a fight. But we're just fighting, and you outsiders shouldn't interfere. If you not only want to get involved but also want to take a share, then let's not say anything more. We'll just grab our weapons and kill this blind fool.
At such times, the word "unity" will involuntarily spring to mind for everyone, whether it be for a small family or a large nation; this has always been the case.
Seeing the old man's flushed face, whether from the alcohol or from anger, Qin Ze pursed his lips and said:
“I know very well that the barbarians are brave and skilled in battle.”
"With your help, we will naturally be able to crush those foreign barbarians and make them flee in disarray."
Hearing this, Wu Li felt somewhat ashamed. In fact, the barbarians were no longer what they used to be, but no matter what, he still had to stand up, as this was a matter of great national importance!
But Qin Ze suddenly changed the subject and said:
"But... never mind."
"My troops are more than enough to deal with them."
"They can't even land."
Seeing Qin Ze's confidence, Wu Li hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, this is no small matter."
"Didn't you say that they didn't send just one army this time, but a coalition of multiple countries? We must not underestimate them!"
Qin Ze nodded and smiled, "Of course."
"But don't worry, we can handle it. We don't need the barbarians to send troops to help us yet."
“I understand your intentions. Now that foreign enemies have come, the barbarians should do their part, but not now.”
"When I need you, I will give the order without you having to say anything."
As they were talking, a gust of wind blew by, and a wave of dizziness washed over him. Qin Ze put a hand to his forehead, feeling quite surprised.
It was just one bowl of wine, how could it be so intoxicating? What the hell kind of wine is this?!
Seeing that Qin Ze was clearly a little dizzy, Wu Li immediately understood that His Majesty must not be able to hold his liquor. His confidence must have been largely due to the wine.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we still cannot underestimate them."
"Since they've already come to the South China Sea, having crossed the ocean, they must have been preparing to invade our country long ago. These bastards won't leave until they've gained an advantage this time!" Wu Li gritted his teeth, his face filled with malice.
He added, "Our barbarian tribe is indeed no match for naval warfare, but on land, our barbarian tribe is definitely stronger than those foreigners. Perhaps..."
Qin Ze shook his head, but the dizziness only grew stronger. He hadn't heard Wu Li's ramblings clearly, so he simply waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I understand."
"How about this, we'll fight them at sea first. If they... if they come ashore, then your barbarian tribe can come to our aid."
“Alright! I will immediately arrange troops and go to Nanze with His Majesty tomorrow!” Wu Li said immediately.
"No, no, no..."
"Just wait here. Wait for my order before you go. Wait... wait for news." Qin Ze yawned, his drowsiness growing stronger, and his words became increasingly indistinct.
"How long will that take?" Wu Li asked worriedly.
"Forehead......"
"It might be less than half a month... I won't say anymore, that's the arrangement, don't take any action without authorization."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Li clenched his fists, thinking that once His Majesty gave the order, he would send troops to provide support and make sure those foreigners were beaten bloody!
But as soon as she looked up, she saw that Qin Ze was hanging his head and no longer moving.
"Asleep? But there was no drug in the drink! Could it be that the wrong drink was taken?! Impossible!" Wu Li was stunned.
——
It was midday outside Guiyun City.
Qin Ze, his eyes bloodshot, waved to Wu Li and his group, who had already seen them off for several miles.
