Chapter 967

I only hope that our two families can sit down together in calm discourse to discuss future matters. It's not just about us—the Empire's people can no longer bear any more wars."
Li Xingzai fell silent, then said, "It's not that Sixth Brother is greedy, unwilling to let go of power over the land. I am willing to sit down and talk, but is he? You also said, he comes from a bandit background, and such people are insatiable in their greed. I'm afraid that the regional lords alone won't be able to satisfy him. What he wants is the entire Empire."
