Li Longji stared at the pop-up window that suddenly appeared on the projection screen in front of him, silent.
The others saw him stunned and thought something had happened.
However, Baiying was standing next to Li Longji. Miss Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Baiying's gaze.
Without being disturbed by others, after careful consideration, Li Longji decided to accept this sudden communication request.
As the screen flickered, a familiar face emerged, the commander-in-chief of the Dawu ship - Lou Xuwei.
The other person's figure was clearly visible. He greeted Li Longji with a smile and said, "Mr. Longji, long time no see."
Li Longji nodded slightly and responded calmly, "Commander Lou."
His voice did not reveal too much emotion, but his heart was actually not calm.
Lou Xuwei seemed to sense Li Longji's inner struggle and determination. He continued to smile and asked, "It seems that Master Longji has made up his mind to do this, right?"
This sentence is both a question and a test, as if trying to dig out the truest thoughts in Li Longji's heart.
Li Longji did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.
Seeing this, Lou Xuwei continued, "Actually, I think we can be friends, not enemies."
"Now that the Wu Lord has lost contact, the Dawu Group is leaderless. If we can join forces, we will be able to stabilize this situation that is about to collapse."
"The Dawu Star Region will be able to recover as soon as possible."
Li Longji remained silent, but his expression seemed a little hesitant.
Lou Xuwei continued to persuade him, "I know you still hate Dawu Group and think it was Dawu Group that destroyed Datang Group."
"But have you ever thought that if the Martial Lord hadn't stepped in to save the day, everything in the Datang Group would have been gone."
"Now, Dawu Group is just another Datang Group. After all, Dawu was built on the foundation of Datang Group."
"After all, we belong to this star region. As long as this star region can continue to develop, why should we care who is leading the Star Region Group?"
After saying this, Lou Xuwei showed a sincere smile, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
It seemed that as long as Li Longji nodded, what he said would definitely come true.
However, Li Longji did not respond and remained silent.
Baiying, who was standing aside, spoke.
His tone was filled with strong anger: "Lou Xuwei, don't use these words to deceive Long Ji. Don't forget what you did to ensure the complete stability of Dawu Group!"
"Do you think this is the end?"
Lou Xuwei shook his head helplessly, a trace of guilt on his face, but his tone was firm: "Baiying, sometimes things are not what you see."
Baiying turned her head away in disdain.
She didn't care if things were not what they seemed. She only knew that she had not forgotten the siege of the Tang Dynasty bloodline by the Dawu Group.
If she hadn't brought her team back to the star field in time to forcibly bring Li Longji out, Li Longji would probably have...
Li Longji was silent for a moment, then responded coldly, "Commander Lou, how do you explain what Baiying said?"
"Weren't the people who were chasing me the Dawu Group?"
Lou Xuwei took a deep breath and said, "There are some misunderstandings here."
"The situation at the time was very complicated. The sudden death of the former Tang Lord led to the group being fought over by various forces for resources and power."
"Dawu Group has also been influenced and restrained by them."
"The people chasing you are not the intention of Dawu Group..."
Li Longji stared at Lou Xuwei's eyes, trying to tell the truth from the false.
Lou Xuwei continued, "I can assure you that everything I said is true. There are detailed records in the group's intelligence library. You can check it out."
Li Longji's heart moved, but he remained vigilant.
"I need time to think about it," he finally said.
Lou Xuwei nodded. "I understand you, but you don't have much time to think about it right now. The situation won't wait."
Having said that, Lou Xuwei's meaning was very clear, that he was here for peace talks.
The command room of Wangyuan Pavilion Fortress fell into silence.
Li Longji lowered his head in thought, while Baiying watched him from the side.
But Miss Yuan, the technology expert behind him, was extremely anxious. If the two sides had a peaceful negotiation, wouldn't their Fu Tang forces become a laughing stock?
Isn't this huge fleet of Fu Tang... sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
"Wait, Master Longji, Lou Xuwei's words cannot be trusted. What if he goes back on his word?"
"Anyway, we're coming with a powerful force now. As long as we defeat them, then the matter will be up to us, right?"
Miss Yuan from Technology came out under pressure and said with gritted teeth.
Li Longji glanced at her without any expression. He seemed to have grown a lot along the way.
"Ms. Yuan, war will only bring more destruction and casualties."
"That's not my intention."
"So what? War doesn't kill people, but as long as we can put an end to this, wouldn't that mean we've prevented war?"
Miss Yuan from Technology did not give up. She tried hard to make Li Longji change his mind.
"If we had attacked Anlishan before, it would have indeed caused more damage and casualties, but now you are the one commanding the fleet, Master Longji. All we need to do is destroy the last of Dawu's fleet..."
"We have won."
"Now we are just one step away."
Miss Yuan, the technologist, went all out. She continued her inspirational speech: "If you're worried about combat effectiveness, don't we have Sword Saint Li Anran here?"
"You can send him out to attack. If he does, what can the Dawu Fleet do to stop us?"
Lou Xuwei looked at Miss Yuan from Technology with all his thoughts.
Everyone present understood why she mentioned "Sword Saint Li Anran" at this time. It was obviously an attack on Lou Xuwei.
After all, it was he who sent Sword Saint Li Anran outside Jianmen Pass to stop them.
But now, the people you, Lou Xuwei, sent out have become ours.
We'll use him to fight back against you!
Everyone on the Fu Tang side was moved by what Miss Yuan, the technology expert, said.
They all looked at Li Longji expectantly.
But Li Longji still looked like he didn't care about anything.
Obviously, Miss Yuan from Technology failed to convince Li Longji.
At this moment, Lou Xuwei spoke again: "Speaking of which, the people who hunted down Young Master Longji and other Tang Dynasty bloodlines...seem to be in the Fu Tang forces."
As soon as Lou Xuwei said this, the previously deadlocked situation was reversed in an instant.
"What did you say?"
Li Longji quickly looked up and said excitedly.
Lou Xuwei looked at Miss Yuan from the Technology Department and said meaningfully, "Is there an elder named Huang among the elders?"
