The soldier's eyes widened and said anxiously: "But, this is really too dangerous. You will die if you go!" His face was full of worries and confusion.

Xi Yu looked firm and looked straight into the soldiers' eyes, with a tough tone: "We have our own sense of responsibility. Even if the road ahead is difficult, we will never retreat." There was no hesitation or fear on his face.

Song Shuwen, who was standing beside him, also echoed: "That's right, we won't be scared by difficulties." He clenched his fists, his expression full of perseverance.

The soldier in charge shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Okay, since you are so determined, I wish you good luck."

A complex feeling of admiration and worry appeared in his eyes.

So after a while, the soldiers hesitated for a while, and finally let Xi Yu and others go.

Xi Yu and others did not hesitate and took firm steps to finally embark on the territory of the Kushan Empire.

After they left, the soldiers in charge looked at their far away backs, frowned, their eyes filled with sighs, and murmured to themselves: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster when I go."

The other soldiers came over and said indifferently: "Boss, since they are seeking death, then don't worry about them."

The soldier in charge glared at him and scolded him, "What do you know! They may be going here for the belief in their hearts, and this courage is also worthy of admiration."

After saying that, he sighed deeply again and turned away. The heavy back seemed to carry concerns about the unknown fate.

At this moment, in the royal palace of the Kushan Kingdom, Chachatu was holding a meeting with a gloomy face.

He sat on the throne, clasped his hands tightly, and said angrily: "Now that the Kushan Empire has been invaded by foreign enemies, many people are actually thinking of escaping to the Central Plains, so I also hate the people in the Central Plains. Now I want to investigate which people in the Central Plains are still in the Kushan Empire and need to be driven out or killed immediately."

As soon as this was said, many ministers were shocked.

An older minister quickly stood up, looked frightened and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you must not! In this way, wouldn't we offend the Central Plains? That's what we can't afford to offend. Now we can't establish too many enemies."

Another minister also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Central Plains is vast and powerful. We act like this, which is like hitting a stone with an egg." He said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes full of worry.

Chachatu frowned, glared at the ministers, and shouted: "Do we just let the people of the Central Plains come and go freely on our territory?"

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at him, and a tense silence fell into the palace.

Chachatu's face was still gloomy when he listened to the ministers' persuasion, but a hint of hesitation was revealed in his eyes.

After a while, after fierce discussion, Chachatu slowly calmed down. His brows slightly relaxed, he sighed, and said, "Oh, maybe I was blinded by anger. Then let's make a long-term plan."

The ministers then breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere in the palace eased slightly.

After Chachatu calmed down, he fell into deep thought. The ministers were silent and did not dare to speak easily. The entire palace was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

After a long time, Chachatu slowly raised his head, glanced at the ministers, and said, "With the opinions of all my beloved ministers, how should we deal with this matter?"

A minister stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to strengthen domestic defenses, resist foreign invasions, stabilize the people's hearts, rather than targeting the people of the Central Plains. Those who live and work in our country should be protected and demonstrated their magnanimity."

Another minister also continued: "Your Majesty, you still need to rectify the domestic order and severely punish those citizens who attempt to escape, so as to correct the national law. Of course, Your Majesty has already done so."

Chachatu nodded slightly and said, "Well, what you said is reasonable. Then act according to this first and do not act rashly again, so as not to cause a major disaster."

The meeting was over soon, and Chachatu had a gloomy face and immediately arrived at the bedroom in a hurry.

But at this moment, he seemed to have completely left the war behind, no longer paying attention to the crisis of the country, but was obsessed with personal desires.

He sat lazily on the couch and waved his hand to the attendants beside him: "Go and call a few princesses."

The attendant hurriedly bowed and retreated to summon the princesses.

Soon, several princesses moved their lotus steps and entered the bedroom one by one.

A look of greed and indulgence suddenly appeared on Chachatu's face. He laughed wildly and took a princess beside him into his arms.

The bedroom was filled with a luxurious atmosphere, with candlelight swaying, and the gauze curtain fluttering in the wind.

Chachatu was immersed in this decadent and corrupt life, completely ignoring the war outside and the people were living in poverty.

Some of the princesses forced themselves to smile, while others showed helplessness and sorrow in their eyes.

Behind this seemingly prosperous is the decline of the country and the unknown fate.

Xi Yu and others entered the territory of the Kushan Empire.

The Kushan Empire soldiers guarding here just looked at them coldly, but didn't say anything.

They thought that the king now hated the people of the Central Plains so much that even though these people of the Central Plains came, they might not have the fate to go out alive.

Xi Yu and others walked into a seemingly deserted tavern.

The tavern owner saw them and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his peace.

Xi Yu walked forward and said politely: "Boss, can you ask you something?"

The boss looked at them vigilantly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It is not a wise move for you Central Plains people to come at this time."

Xi Yu smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we have no choice but to do so. I wonder what the situation in the Kushan Empire is now?"
