Guzailo called Zhao Tailai to his side and asked, "Do you think we should stay in the grassland or go to the pass?"
Zhao Tailai replied: "When you promised Da Qin that you would send troops to help Da Qin deal with the Liao Kingdom, there is actually no room for this choice."
"If we stay on the grassland, what awaits us is the fate of being killed by the Liao Kingdom."
Guzailo pursed his lips slightly.
She frowned and said: "But once we enter the pass, the tribe's life and death will still be controlled by others. The Crown Prince of Qin said it nicely, but when the time comes, everyone will be a swordsman and I will be a fish. No one knows what fate awaits our tribe.
"
Zhao Tailai sighed softly, and the ferocious scar on his face was now a little gentler. He said: "This is the tragedy of being weak. Facing the Liao Kingdom, we have no room to fight back, and facing the Qin Dynasty, we have no room for it either.
"
"But the hundreds of years of brutal rule in the Liao Kingdom have made us realize that we must make changes. The political situation in Langting of the Liao Kingdom is currently in turmoil. Each of the great nobles has their own agenda. We, the Guza Tribe, are just in their hands.
Playthings and chess pieces, if you are not careful, the whole family will be destroyed."
"It is precisely because of this that we made the decision that we must change, and that is why we took the initiative to contact Da Qin, hoping to rely on Da Qin to resist the Liao Kingdom."
"But it turns out that Great Qin will never have the strength to protect us on the prairie in a short period of time. Even if it did, they might not be willing to go to war with the Liao Kingdom for us. So I think that maybe moving into the pass,
It’s the best choice.”
"At least our tribe can have an environment to thrive. We don't have to worry about the nobles from the Liao Kingdom coming to our door every day and selecting our tribe members as casually as cattle and horses. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left to survive."
Turning to look at Guzai Luo, Zhao Tailai said seriously: "Iluo, before your father went to the Wolf Court, he already knew that he could not come back, so he handed over the power of the tribe to you, and you shoulder a huge responsibility.
and mission, now that the choice has been made, there is no room for hesitation or turning back.”
Zhao Tailai's words made Guzailo's tense expression even heavier.
She nodded slowly and said, "You are right. Now that you have made your choice, there is no room for hesitation or turning back."
"But, maybe there is a compromise."
Hearing Guzailo's words, Zhao Tailai was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, he couldn't understand what Guzailo meant by the compromise method.
Guzailo looked at Zhao Tailai seriously and said, "Do you know why my father agreed that I would marry you, a Han Chinese?"
Zhao Tailai smiled and said, "I don't know."
"On the one hand, it's because I like you."
As a son of the grassland, Guzailo naturally possesses a boldness and generosity that Da Qin women do not have. Such words would have been impossible for a Da Qin woman to say, but Guzailo said it very naturally.
"On the other hand, it's because father thinks you can help us."
Zhao Tailai looked at Guzailo quietly without interrupting, waiting for her to finish.
He had a hunch that what Guzailo said next might change his life again.
"I hope that after this war, you can take away a group of tribe members and leave the grassland and Daqin!"
