Chapter 864: Chapter 799: The Flames of War Are About to Ignite

Early the next morning, Zhang San and the others prepared to leave.

Just as everyone was packing up and heading outside the Dashi Bian tribe, Hu walked over to Zhang San and asked, “I saw a woman walking back and forth outside your tent last night. She was there for a long time.”

Zhang San nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Clearly, Zhang San had also noticed this.

“Why didn’t you let her in? You should know that if you just hint at her a little, she would come in, right?”

Zhang San pursed his lips and retorted to Hu, “What’s the point of letting her in?”

Hu grinned mischievously and said, “That kind of thing, naturally those who understand will understand. Although you two might not be together forever, she’s been thinking about you for so long, leaving her with a child wouldn’t be a bad idea!”

Zhang San shook his head.

“A man must take responsibility for what he does. I don’t want to bear her responsibility, so I naturally won’t do anything.”

Actually, regarding this matter, Hu couldn’t quite grasp it.

All this love stuff, isn’t it something you humans made up to fool the opposite sex?

Does such a thing really exist in the world?

It’s all just made up by you for the convenience of reproduction.

How come now you are the ones who are getting caught up, treating lies as truth?

“Really not doing anything? I feel like if you wanted to do something with her, she would definitely agree.”

Zhang San didn’t want to continue talking to Hu, but the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums let out a cold snort.

“Hu, you know what, your moral values are lacking. Look at us, we’re from the Demon Clan, yet you’re not even as good as me! Not even close!”

Hu wasn’t happy hearing this; other than being silly, where am I lesser than you?

“You’re talking as if someone is out here wanting you?”

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums suddenly fell silent.

Although he thought Zhang San was doing the right thing, Zhang San actually has women who want him!

Whereas he himself doesn’t have a single one.

Thinking of this, the smile that was on the face of the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums turned into a frown.

Hu didn’t expect that the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums, always appearing carefree, actually had troubles of his own.

So, Hu walked over, just about to comfort Silly Roe Deer with a few words.

“Come to think of it, Hu, you don’t have anyone after you either!”

Hu, who was about to comfort the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums, was immediately choked.

Damn, I shouldn’t have tried to come over, when I thought of comforting you, I should’ve just bitten you on the butt!

Meanwhile, Dashi Bian knew Zhang San and his group were leaving and sent someone to see them off, gifting Zhang San many rare treasures and materials useful for cultivation.

Seeing this, Zhang San realized these were truly valuable things, worth far more than the so-called Kaihuang rewards he had brought.

“Sir Zhang San, our Khan said the wolf head bandana you sent over is very valuable. This is just a small gift; once we unify the entire grassland in the future, there will be a grand reward. However…”

“However, the Khan said that today, the troops and some representatives from all tribes will be arriving. If he personally sends you off, it might not leave a good impression on other tribal leaders.”

Zhang San naturally understood; Dashi Bian now had to use the wolf head bandana to rally troops and prepare to strike against Sharlobi.

At this time, it’s essential to unite all his generals under him.

If others saw him, the Khan, sending Zhang San off, it indeed might not have the best effect.

“I understand, I understand, how could I, as the little brother, not understand the big brother’s concerns.”

Saying this, Zhang San glanced at the troops from the tribes already starting to mobilize.

“I have one more thing to remind your Khan, and I hope you can pass it along.”

“Please speak, Sir Zhang San.”

“Although I don’t know how your Khan plans to distribute those wolf head bandanas, I think it would be wise to give one to some loyal and powerful tribes under him, and further unite with the Khan of Long Bo in the north. After all, Khan Long Bo was quite strong on the grassland before. If he assists in the battle against Sharlobi, the chances of success will be greatly increased.”

Upon hearing this, the general responsible for sending off Zhang San felt Zhang San’s words were indeed reasonable.

After all, if they attacked Sharlobi and Khan Long Bo ended up reaping the benefits, it wouldn’t be good.

After all, he was the one who could wrestle arms with the old Khan back then.

But if they could unite with Khan Long Bo, it would be like gaining a stronger ally.

Once they escorted Zhang San and his group out of the tribe, the general hurried back, evidently wanting to relay Zhang San’s advice to the Khan of Dashi Bian.

Beside him, Hu knew this was Zhang San’s strategy to incite chaos within the Tujue.

First, he sent the wolf head bandana, giving Dashi Bian a legitimate cause to start an uprising.

Then he persuaded Dashi Bian to unite with Khan Long Bo, thus Dashi Bian and Long Bo would have strong enough forces to attack Sharlobi.

But Sharlobi, after all, inherited the main assets of the previous Khan, making him quite solid.

Once they start fighting, the entire strength of Tujue will plummet significantly.

And to achieve all this, Zhang San only had to come here and deliver some wolf demon heads.

“Zhang San, is there going to be a war here?”

At this moment, Zhang San turned, glancing back at the Dashi Bian tribe.

Around the whole tribe, armies from other tribes had already started to camp nearby.

Within the tribe, many slaves seemed unusually excited.

Because they knew that once the battle begins, they would have the chance to go to war.

If they performed well, they could escape their slave status.

But do they really understand how brutal war is?

“Yes! Dashi Bian has already started assembling his elite troops under him, and soon, he might be able to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers, maybe even more.”

“By then, combined with the forces of Khan Long Bo, the entire grassland might be engulfed in the flames of war.”

Zhang San spoke as he gradually closed his eyes.

Though darkness lay ahead, for some reason, Zhang San seemed to see scenes of Tujue people slaughtering, fighting, fleeing, and dying tragically.

Yet for some reason, even though these images appeared before his eyes, his heart felt no disturbance.

“Come to think of it, the human race truly is a cruel species. For me to achieve my own goals, for me to ensure a good life for the people of Great Sui, I need to cause division in the northern Tujue, leading to internal chaos and conflict.”

Hu felt Zhang San’s tone seemed different from before, and comforted, “There’s no choice; this is just how confrontations between nations are. If you don’t find a way to weaken Tujue, then Tujue will come for you. Isn’t that right?”

Zhang San nodded slightly.

Yet he felt something was amiss.

Why does his heart have no qualms about committing such cruel deeds, and furthermore, why does it seem like doing so is the most rational choice?
