Xu Jiujiu's Suggestion and Tang Wutong's Thoughts

Looking at this heroic man before me, the Commander-in-Chief, whose life had been one of unwavering loyalty to the country, yet he had failed his family—no, not his family, but his father and mother.

Every time Huo Gua thought of this, his heart ached.

However, he has been facing Dai Hao for many years and has long been able to control his emotions well, and will no longer do anything inappropriate because of this man.

In fact, Huo Gua didn't know how to properly treat this man; the more she got to know him, the harder it became to make a decision.

Even if he is unwilling to admit it, Dai Hao is his biological father.

Perhaps, all he wanted was to take Dai Hao to his mother's grave someday and make him apologize.

Huo Gua sighed inwardly. If it weren't for supporting Star Luo Empire, he wouldn't have wanted to come here, as he saw Dai Hao almost every day.

However, just as Huo Gua was about to get up and leave, Xu Jiujiu spoke up, "Wait a minute, Yu Hao."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua paused, looked at Xu Jiujiu with puzzlement, and asked, "Is there anything else, Princess?"

Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath and said, "Since you can kill Xu Tianran, then... can't you also kill that Empress War God?"

Huo Gua paused, a gray glint flashing in his eyes, but he did not answer.

Xu Jiujiu, he continued, "I know this might be difficult, but if the Empress War God dies, the Sun Moon Empire will surely be thrown into chaos. What can that Sun Moon Crown Prince, who is not even two years old, do? So, if you can kill the Empress War God, then..."

However, before Xu Jiujiu could Xu Jiujiu speaking, Huo Gua interrupted her expressionlessly, "She cannot die. If she dies, the Sun Moon Empire will be thrown into chaos, but before that happens, the Sun Moon Army will invade Star Luo Empire without any scruples, and may even massacre Star Luo Empire."

"You should know the status of that Empress War God in the Sun Moon Army. To put it bluntly, Xu Tianran's death will have absolutely no impact on the Sun Moon Army, but if Ju Zi dies, the entire Douluo Continent will be engulfed in war."

"Perhaps you don't care, or even think it would be better if Tian Soul and Dou Ling Empire rose to prominence again, so that Star Luo Empire would have more opportunities."

"But have you considered another possibility? What if Star Luo Empire is directly wiped out by the Sun Moon, and then the Sun Moon and Moon, without an emperor and empress, falls into chaos? You should know what the final result would be."

Huo Gua's words immediately silenced Xu Jiujiu.

In fact, as intelligent as Xu Jiujiu, she had considered the possibility Huo Gua mentioned. But killing Ju Zi also presented another possibility: what if the Sun Moon Army didn't avenge Ju Zi?

Only when the Sun Moon Empire falls into chaos will the Star Luo Empire have a real chance to rise.

Otherwise, once Ju Zi returns to Mingdu and stabilizes the rear, Star Luo Empire will still face invasion from the Sun Moon, and this may only take a few years.

How did Star Luo Empire rise to prominence in just a few years?

Therefore, Xu Jiujiu before I decided to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, Huo Gua did not agree with her suggestion.

Faced with this awkward situation, only Dai Hao could ease the tension. "Both of you have valid points. We can discuss this further later; there's no need to rush."

After listening for Xu Jiujiu, he could only follow the steps and walk down, saying no more.

As for Huo Gua, after a Xu Jiujiu argument, he, who was already planning to leave, naturally didn't linger any longer. He bid farewell and left the Star Luo Empire Camp with Tang Wutong, He Caitou.

Xu Jiujiu only Xu Jiujiu, Dai Hao, and Dai Yueheng remained in the commander's tent, Xu Jiujiu asked with a grim expression, "Marshal Dai, was I wrong?"

Dai Hao was silent for a moment before replying, "The princess's suggestion is not wrong, and if we win the gamble, Star Luo Empire will be worry-free for at least several decades; of course, the cost of a wrong gamble is equally high. And that cost is one that Huo Yuhao and Shrek are willing to bear."

"What Shrek Academy truly desires is peace; they absolutely do not wish to see the entire Douluo Continent engulfed in war. Compared to the chaos in Douluo, in Shrek's view, even if Star Luo Empire is destroyed in the future, it's nothing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu frowned deeply and said, "Hasn't Shrek always been on our side? Four thousand years ago, it was Shrek Academy that led the army to repel the Sun Moon Army. Why now...?"

However, Dai Hao shook his head and said, "It's different now. Four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire had just appeared and could be considered a foreign race, so Shrek would naturally stand up for them. But after so many years of development, the two continents have merged together. Even though there is still hostility between the people of the various empires, this concept of foreigners has gradually faded. People just think that the countries are different."

Time is such a terrifying thing.

"Furthermore, isn't there a rumor that a Deity has appeared at Shrek? But that Deity is completely uninvolved in war, which is a very clear stance."

"Didn't the Empress War God from the Sun Moon Empire, visit Shrek a few months ago? It was probably for that legendary Deity."

"Princess Jiujiu, didn't you notice that only people from the Tang Sect came to our aid? That's only because Huo Yuhao himself is from the Star Luo Empire. No other Pavilion Elder from Shrek have come."

Xu Jiujiu clenched his fist, his face growing even uglier. "Are they planning to abandon the Star Luo Empire? Or are they just going to leave us to fend for ourselves while they go about their own business?"

Dai Hao: "... I don't know."

After Xu Jiujiu silence, he said, "The war should be temporarily halted. I also need to go to Shrek to pay my respects to that... Deity."

Leaving aside their Xu Jiujiu plans, Huo Gua and his group flew directly towards Shrek City after leaving the Star Luo Empire military camp.

On the way, Tang Wutong couldn't help but stare at Huo Gua and asked, "You seem to care a lot about that Empress War God?"

Others might not notice Huo Gua's change, but how could Tang Wutong, his wife, not see it? Just Xu Jiujiu, when Xu Jiujiu said he wanted to kill Ju Zi, Huo Gua's aura changed instantly.

Huo Gua simply smiled calmly at Tang Wutong's sour tone, holding Tang Wutong hand as always, and said, "How could that be? I'm just stating the facts. Ju Zi can't die now. If Ju Zi dies, Douluo be in chaos, and war will break out everywhere. I think Zhou Huan would slap me to death."

Upon hearing Huo Gua mention Zhou Huan, Tang Wutong's expression immediately became complicated, but she still said with dissatisfaction, "He wouldn't care about these trivial matters. If he wanted to, he wouldn't stay in Shrek all the time, never stepping out of the gate."

In fact, Tang Wutong had no idea how to face Zhou Huan. He was clearly someone who wanted to take revenge on her grandfather and even her father, but he had let her go.

Fortunately, I've been in the Mingdou Battlefield for the past few months, so I don't have to stay at Shrek and therefore don't have to face Zhou Huan.

But now that the war is over and Huo Yuhao has returned to Shrek, she has to come back with him.

Thinking about this gave Tang Wutong a headache, especially since Wang Qiu'er was most likely at Shrek now.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So, Tang Wutong pinched Huo Gua's lower back hard and said irritably, "It's all your fault!"

Huo Gua was flying through the air, almost fell down. "..." He thought to himself, "How can this woman turn on me so suddenly? What did I do to offend her? I didn't do anything."
