The day before Murong Li made this decision, he visited his old friend.
The words are gentle, but the insights are very sharp:
"I have had this suspicion for a long time. After Qiu Zhen died, it was me and the four of us, and after Gongsun Xiaoqi died, it was Gen Mochi. Things have changed tremendously, but only six of the eight swords are there. No matter how I search, I can't find the other two swords. So I can only gamble once - let Zhong Kun Yili and I die again."
The hand of the old friend pouring tea shook and he frowned.
"You still made it this far."
"Almost all of his border guards are as good as ten, and they are still afraid that Liu Ren will fall into the hands of others. But who or what legend would make Qi Kun, who became the leader of the community through conquest, afraid?"
"You'd better stop talking!"
"And what's the big surprise you said he could give me?"
"Murong Li!"
Murong Li looked over meaningfully, his smile more dangerous than his words
"I am a pawn in this game, and now, so is he."
