Ah Jiu noticed Wufu was not very enthusiastic, and felt a pang in his heart, asking, "Are you unhappy?"
"Hmm?" Wufu looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
Ah Jiu pursed his lips slightly and said, "Beiyan intends to unify Nanyue, continuing the legacy of a great nation from hundreds of years ago. This has always been the grand ambition of every generation of Emperor, so..."
"Ah Jiu, I've told you I'm not from here!" Wufu interrupted him, saying, "Whether a country falls depends on the ruling powers. Invasion might be wrong, but if you don't grow stronger and get invaded, who can you blame? If you're strong, who dares invade you? Who can defeat you!"
Ah Jiu felt relieved, "I thought you were unhappy."
"I have no opinion on which country unifies; it's all about who has the stronger fist. That's inevitable." Wufu said, "I just feel for the common people; when war breaks out, it's not the nobles and powerful people who suffer, but the common folk. I prefer seeing peace."
