Ji Li saw that her daughter insisted on asking clearly, and her expression gradually became serious.

She bent down to help the table up, sat down, and was silent for a long time before she said, "Tang Tang, do you think we are willing to fight?" ”

"If you don't want to fight, why do you want to fight?"

"Tang Tang, my mother asks you a question. If you are in a desert without any food and water. Would you go to your partner to ask for food so that you don't starve to death? ”

Ji Tangtang said: "Yes." ”

"If your partner doesn't give it, will you rob it?"

"No, it won't."

"If you still have the person you care about the most, and he is dying of hunger, will you rob him?" Ji Li asked again, "For example, Zhao Shu, Sister Yun, and your two apprentices, or me, your clansmen." Will you watch them starve to death and remain indifferent? ”

Ji Tangtang was silent for a moment and said, "I will discuss it with the other party." ”

"What if after discussion, the other party resolutely refuses?" Ji Li looked serious and asked one by one.

"A-Niang, the example you gave is not appropriate. How could we Jiuli ever reach such an extreme point of life and death? ”

"Why not? Tang Tang, you are only the patriarch, and you don't know many things in the clan. Due to the frenzied expansion of the Great Zhou and Northern Qi, the living conditions of our tribe have been extremely compressed. What's more, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops to feed, and there are more and more people in the tribe, so if this continues, the tribe will not be able to survive at all. ”

"So, you use your brother's death as an excuse to provoke a war?" Ji Tangtang frowned, "Ah Niang, you have connived at your brother's toss over the years, let Zhuoma Dark Wizard contact him, and go to Da Zhou to snatch the so-called dragon vein and dragon qi." All this is to contribute to the outbreak of war? From beginning to end, my brother was just a pawn in your hands? ”

The more Ji Tangtang said, the clearer his heart became, and the colder his body became.

What kind of environment she has lived in since she was a child.

Ji Li sighed: "Tangtang, you don't have to say that, I don't owe anything to your brother." That was his fate. And our Jiuli tribe will continue to survive. ”

"I can't accept it." Ji Tangtang pushed her hand away, stood up and said, "With the rights granted to the patriarch by the Jiuli Code, I order you to stop the war immediately!" ”

There was silence in the house.

Ji Tangtang shouted: "Don't you even follow the Jiuli Code?!" ”

"Tang Tang, calm down." Ji Li said, "This matter is no longer something we can decide. ”

"Why can't you decide? From now on, the tribe is closed, all clansmen are recalled, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! ”

"You're crazy and want your people to starve to death?"

"It's only been a year and a half, and it's not enough." Ji Tangtang said, "I have already learned about the storage of the tribe. ”

"Tang Tang, this is just your assumption, now that the Great Zhou army has arrived, even if we stop, they will not give up!" Ji Li reminded her.

Ji Tangtang said: "Our tribe's secret passage mechanism, it is impossible for them to break in. ”

She insisted on stopping everything, recalling her people, and closing the tribe.

This is the supreme right granted to the patriarch by the Jiuli Code.

All must obey unconditionally.

Ji Li thought about it, made a compromise, and said, "Tang Tang, this is not a trivial matter. You let the elders discuss it before deciding, okay? ”
