underneath. Press down on it."Long Huaiyu, doubtful at first, came to the bedside and followed Duan Jinjiang's suggestion. He really found a protruding stone.After pressing it, there was a booming s...Chapter 1558: Decision

"Come."

Guzailov called Zhao Tai to his side and asked, “What do you think Should we stay on the grasslands, or go inside the pass”

Zhao Tailai replied, "When you agreed to Qin and pledged to send troops to help Qin fight against Liao, this choice was gone."

"Remaining on the steppe, all that awaits us is to be slaughtered by the Liao, every last one of our people."

Guzaylo pursed her lips slightly.

She frowned and said, “But once we enter the pass, the tribe's life and death will still be at the mercy of others. The prince of Qin may sound good, but then we would be at his mercy, like fish on a chopping board. Who knows what fate awaits our tribe”

Zhao Tailai let out a light sigh. The grotesque scar on his face seemed to soften by two points as he spoke, "This is the tragedy of weakness. When faced with the Liao nation, we have no room to fight back, and when facing the Qin dynasty, we are equally powerless."

"But the brutal rule of the Liao for hundreds of years has made us realize that change is necessary. Right now, the Liao court is in turmoil, with those great nobles each harboring their own ambitions. Our Guza tribe is merely a pawn and a chess piece in their hands. Should we falter even slightly, our entire clan will face annihilation."

"It is precisely because of this that we have made the decision that must be changed, and we have taken the initiative to contact Qin in order to rely on them and resist Liao."

"But the fact is, Qin wouldn't have the strength to protect us on the grasslands in a short time, even if they did, they might not be willing to go to war with Liao again for us. So I think that moving into Guannei might be the best option."

"At least our tribe can have an environment to thrive in, without having to worry every day about being visited by those nobles from the Liao kingdom, who would come and choose our people as they would cattle, leaving only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled to linger on."

Turning his head to look at Guzailo, Zhao Tai came said earnestly, "Iro, your father knew before he went to the Wolf Den that he could not return. So, he handed over the power of the tribe to you, and you, bear a heavy responsibility and mission on your shoulders. Since you have already made a choice, there is no room for hesitation or turning back."

Zhao Tailai's words made Gu Zaiyilo's already tight face even heavier.

She nodded slowly and said, "You're right. Since we've made a choice, there's no room for hesitation or turning back."

But perhaps there is a middle ground.

Upon hearing Guzailov's words, Zhao Tai came to a sudden stop.

He couldn't understand for a moment what Gzailov meant by compromise.

Guzailuo looked at Zhao Tailai earnestly and said, "Do you know why your father would agree to me marrying you, a Han man"

Zhao Tailai smiled and said, "I don't know."

On the one hand because I like you.

As a daughter of the steppe, Guzailo naturally possessed a boldness and generosity that Qin women lacked. Such words would have been unthinkable for a Qin woman to utter, but Guzailo spoke them with ease.

On the other hand, it's because your father thinks you can help us.

Zhao Tail came quietly watched Gu Zailuo, said nothing, waited for her to finish.

He had a feeling that whatever Ghazaylo said next was very likely to change his life again.

“I hope that after this war, you can take a group of tribe members and leave the grassland, leave Qin!” Qinglan's silky hair.
