Shen Yi's words were full of worries, as soon as he was worried, his mouth was as fast as a chicken pecking rice, causing Gu Yun to be dizzy looking at him. He was not able to ‘listen’ to more than half of the words, but he understood the last sentence.

Shen Yi: “How is he going to end this in the future?”

Gu Yun was silent.

Shen Yi: "Zi Xi, say something."

"No more fighting." Gu Yun made a completely off-base answer.

Shen Yi: "..."

He sighed heavily and suspected that Gu Yun had not ‘heard’ what he had said at all. He thought to himself, Practice lip language my ass, more like training my lip muscles.

As Shen Yi was planning to change communication methods, Gu Yun spoke up: "I was a little too impatient and rushed in before, served me right being exploded by them. Fortunately, there is no real danger here, I have been thinking a lot these days... Jia Lai is not a bunch of scraps like those on the West side. I'm afraid there will be several fierce battles on that side. But as we are right now, we do not have enough money to serve as an inspiration — we need to make a more thorough discussion.”

Shen Yi was stunned: "You are planning to..."

"Our side has dragged the court spinning around," Gu Yun whispered. "It is time to rest and recuperate."

In the early summer of the eighth year of Long An, the Western Regions could no longer resist. They gathered the remnants of their army, opened the door of the country, and joined together to send a letter of surrender to the parent country.

At the entrance of the Silk Road, the representatives of the Western Regions sat with Great Liang for the second time and were forced to negotiate.

For defeated generals, Gu Yun was too lazy to show up and only appointed Shen Yi as his sole representative.

Shen Yi came with the harsh requirements of Great Liang, the first was to ask for a large sum of gold and silver. Secondly, to build Great Liang garrisons in the west to monitor the dependent countries. Starting from now, except Lou Lan who was an ally, other dependent countries were not allowed to have a single machine or steel armor, including Light Suits — all must be destroyed. Finally, Great Liang required that the dependent countries pay tribute of more than 70% of their Ziliujin each year to Great Liang.

Even Shen Yi felt his tooth ache when he read this passage for himself. It was like scraping bones. The representatives of various countries were crying for their ancestors.
