Chapter 1798: The Storm Approaches

"Let us hope so!"Liu Yu fell silent after speaking.

Seeing that the other seemed to have matters to discuss, Yelu Kang stopped talking further. Both ate and drank quietly. Yet after a moment, they began chatting idly again. Such idle talk often deepens mutual understanding, making both sides more trusting.

Liu Yu suddenly said, "I have heard your nation is currently in internal turmoil."

"Yes,"Yelu Kang said bitterly, "Not only that, but many foreign powers have appeared. For instance, the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people, and others. All of them eye the territory of our Great Liao. Because they believe only by swallowing up Great Liao can they dominate the grasslands!"

Liu Yu frowned; he realized he had underestimated this world. Originally, he thought Great Liao was merely an ordinary powerful empire, but from the current situation, Great Liao is far from as simple as it appears on the surface. The Wuhuan and Xianbei are actually also Hu people; their ancestors were once cavalry of the Xiongnu Wang Ting. Yet historically, the Xiongnu were destroyed by the Great Han. Now Great Liao faces the same danger.

This made Liu Yu realize that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the enemy, but the friends beside you.

Liu Yu recalled the encounter at the Pingnan General's mansion. Back then, Pingnan General Yuan Tan, in order to win over Liu Yu, deliberately sent him beauties, which resulted in Liu Yu flying into a rage and killing Pingnan General Yuan Shao. Liu Yu remembered Yuan Tan telling him back then that he had already sent people to contact other regional lords. Could it be that the current situation within Great Liao is much like what Yuan Tan did?
