"Are you really sure you can find me no matter where I run off to?"
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat skeptical, even though Qi Guze wielded considerable power in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
But what if she escaped to a country other than the Great Zhou?
Qi Guze doesn't have that many resources left to use!
Perhaps we will never find Xu Yuehuai again!
Qi Guze said, "I have my own power in all four kingdoms."
"Even if you are in other parts of the four kingdoms, as long as I want to find you, I will definitely be able to find you."
If Xu Yuehuai were to encounter trouble in another country in the future, Qi Guze could quickly mobilize manpower to rescue her.
Xu Yuehuai was shocked to hear this.
I never imagined that Qi Guze had his own people throughout the four kingdoms!
She had previously thought that Qi Guze only had his own people in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but she never expected him to be so powerful.
I wonder if there is anyone else in these four kingdoms who can compare to Qi Guze!
Chu Guangbai was also listening nearby, and he was quite shocked when he learned about this.
"Your Highness, you really don't treat me like an outsider. You actually told me such a private matter?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"
Chu Guangbai smiled faintly and spoke to Qi Guze.
Qi Guze raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, saying, "Why don't you go tell the others? Do you think they don't know either?"
"There are many intelligent people in these four countries."
"It's not just my power that spans the four kingdoms; many others are as well."
"Everyone keeps an eye on the other countries and checks and balances each other, which is why the four countries can stand together and not disappear like those countries that disappeared before."
Actually, before the present-day Shikoku, there were many other countries, but those countries, large and small, disappeared for various reasons.
The four remaining kingdoms are not the most powerful, but they are the most stable, having existed for nearly a thousand years until the current situation.
If the situation in the four kingdoms is disrupted, the world will descend into chaos, a scenario that no one wants to see.
However, there are some insidious people who want to use the world as a pawn to unify the country!
Qi Guze does not agree with unifying the country. Currently, the four countries occupy different places, each with its own different customs, diet, and so on.
Their Great Zhou Kingdom was a country governed by rites and excelled in literature.
The Kingdom of Mingyue, which is adjacent to the Great Zhou Kingdom, is a country that governs by force and is skilled in military power.
Another country bordering these two countries is Wuling, which excels at making weapons.
In the far easternmost ancient kingdom, Dongsang, the specialty is medicine.
The Great Zhou Kingdom is located in the warm southern region, with a suitable climate and abundant vegetation, which has nurtured most of the people in the four kingdoms.
Both the Kingdom of Mingyue and the Kingdom of Wuling are particularly lacking in food, and the winters are especially cold. Their populations are the smallest among the four kingdoms.
Another country with a relatively large population is Dongsang, which is located by the sea in the east. This country has a lot of rare and exotic plants, as well as many sea cucumbers and other animals and plants. They have no shortage of food and do not like to communicate with the other three countries.
In the far east, they live a self-sufficient life. For nearly a thousand years, the people of this country have hardly ever gone out to interact with people from other countries. Therefore, they are a very ancient country, and the materials and customs they have preserved are all passed down from ancient times.
In the eyes of the people of the other three kingdoms, Dongsang was a backward and rigid country, like a savage state, and they looked down on the people of Dongsang.
Dongsang Kingdom did not need to communicate with the people of the other three kingdoms, which led to Dongsang Kingdom being isolated from the connections between the four kingdoms and being the least known to the people of the other three kingdoms.
While the people of the other three kingdoms knew this, Dongsang was a rigid and conservative country. However, the people of Dongsang did not consider themselves backward. They also possessed advanced technology, but they used it all in medicine.
Those who cannot be saved in the other three kingdoms can indeed be saved in Dongsang Kingdom.
Every so often, when the Kingdom of Dongsang sensed that chaos was about to break out in the world, it would send out physicians to the other three kingdoms to persuade them to surrender.
Therefore, some physicians from Dongsang Kingdom eventually stayed in the other three kingdoms, teaching them medical skills. As a result, the people of the other three kingdoms gradually learned medical skills, broke free from Dongsang Kingdom's help, and looked down on Dongsang Kingdom even more.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Since everyone is hiding in various countries, won't someone take the opportunity to start a war?"
She was somewhat worried that the four kingdoms would descend into chaos!
Qi Guze said, "You don't need to worry about such things. I have already made arrangements. I have my men keep a close eye on the movements of the four countries. If any country starts a war, I will definitely lead my men to suppress it."
With Qi Guze around, we will definitely not let the four kingdoms fall into war!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt particularly relieved.
Chu Guangbai then said from the side, "In the past, I only knew that the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom was particularly fond of power. He stripped others of their power and put it in his own hands, eliminating dissidents and harming many innocent people."
"But after hearing what you said today, I understand now. All the malice those people have towards you is just a smear campaign."
"Your Majesty, you are truly a gentleman who cares deeply for the world and is selfless!"
Qi Guze smiled and accepted the praise from Chu Guangbai.
“I am a gentleman, completely different from other villains.”
“Those people are afraid of me, so they have been trying to suppress me.”
"What I seek has nothing to do with power or the world, but only with my own heart."
Qi Guze has done a lot for these four countries, but no one knows it, or if they do know, they pretend not to know. They are not grateful to him, but rather extremely wary of him.
He traveled this far without any companions, only himself and his men, and quietly did a lot to prevent war between the four kingdoms.
Xu Yuehuai looked at Qi Guze and felt a little sorry for him.
"I'll be there for you no matter what you want to do in the future."
She understands Qi Guze even better now and is willing to stay by his side forever, even if the four kingdoms are still at war!
Qi Guze raised an eyebrow and smiled, then pinched Xu Yuehuai's cheek.
"Very well, as long as you are with me, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire in front of me, I will go forward without hesitation!"
Their eyes met, and for a moment time seemed to stand still for them.
Chu Guangbai watched from the side, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart, and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
