Yu Jin acted as if she didn't care.
And Nan Hua also knew that usually, Yu Jin has always been quite aloof. The only reason why Yu Jin wanted to take the side was only because she approached and also because of Zhang Xu Kingdom's breach into the mountain.
Without these two factors, Yu Jin would still rather wait longer to observe the situation around the area.
"What do you want?" General Wei decided to ask this first.
"Your acceptance and also promise of the future." Yu Jin crossed her hand. "No, your kingdom's promise and acceptance."
"Promise and acceptance?"
General Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Jin in front of him. Xia Mountains have always been a very lucrative meat that was placed in front of everyone's eyes. However, there were too many thorns in that place.
It was hard to conquer.
There were too many things on the stake for them to sacrifice it all and tried to take over the entire Mountain Tribe.
This has always been the reason why no one dared to get close.
But sooner or later, this piece of meat would fall to one side unless they decided to declare war and built another kingdom. At that time, the Xia Mountains would be the place for war to happen.
Yu Jin never declared independence and always called her place as tribe.
One of the reason was to lower the guards of the other kingdoms. The other reason was to make sure that the entire Xia Mountains wouldn't be razed.
"Do you want to stand on your own?"
"No." Yu Jin looked at General Wei straight in his eyes. "I want our people to be accepted as part of Fei Yang Kingdom. That they're not some kind of outsiders whom you could exploit as much as you want to."
She has always been blunt.
And Yu Jin never liked to go around with her words because she wanted to make sure that everything that she wanted was conveyed perfectly. There was no way she would accept getting any less for her people.
Her tribe had appointed her as their leader.
Naturally, she had to make sure to be able to live up to their expectation as the leader and fought for their better future.
"I see."
General Wei thought about the matter. There were indeed people of different ethnic all around the kingdoms. Some of them were treated equally, but it was inevitable that in some places, they were treated worse.
That was just how the minority would be.
"Do you want to be part of the military or to be part of the officials?" freewebnøvel.com
"Military."
"I can work on that, but Fei Yang Kingdom will need your cooperation in the future wars. You can also get the compensation…"
"In that case..."
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
The two of them were previously very cold to each other, but now they actually started to discuss for real. General Wei didn't really like to talk, so he was also very direct in his request.
