Li Daqing scratched his head, the joy on his face fading significantly as he looked cautiously at Li Xiu. "Li Xiu, we’re recruiting soldiers, buying horses, forging weapons... isn't this all a bit too much? It looks... it looks like we’re trying to..." He didn't dare utter the word "rebel."
Li Xiu patted him on the shoulder, his expression calm, yet his eyes were unusually profound. "Old Clan Chief, this world is about to descend into chaos. If we don’t prepare early, I fear it will be difficult to live a peaceful life when the time comes."
Li Daqing froze. After a long moment, as if he had finally grasped the meaning, the hesitation on his face turned into a look of gravity. He nodded firmly. "Li Xiu is right. In chaotic times, if you have no strength, you are merely at the mercy of others. I understand. I will go make the arrangements now and ensure everything is handled securely."
