Shen Da glanced down at them condescendingly, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and asked nonchalantly
‘Your Highness, how do you think my Yizhou compares to the Qin?’
“Each has its own merits.’
Shen Da raised an eyebrow, leaned over the desk, and looked at her
‘Each has its own merits? How do you mean?’
‘The Qin are polite and respectful, while Yizhou inherits the style of Daiyue, which is straightforward, heroic, and unrestrained.’
“Polite… Haha… It’s ironic that such a polite country has produced a person like Your Highness, who rebels against the teachings of the sages!’
There was a burst of laughter behind him, and Tong Li bit her lips tightly. Jun Xu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long pause, he could only say
‘You have let your parents down.’
‘Your Highness has given up a lot for General Tong, so why not let him go?’
Jun Xu smiled bitterly, and it seemed that he would not be able to get away unscathed today. Who would have thought that Tong Li would suddenly raise his head at this moment, his eyes shining with a divine light, and clearly say aloud
‘Because Tong Li doesn’t want to! We will share the same bed when we are alive and the same grave when we are dead! If the world cannot accommodate us, Tong Li is willing to follow Jun Xu underground and be a ghostly husband and wife together!‘
Jun Xu felt a current of electricity run through his body, raising his hair on end. He was moved, but also cold sweat was running down his face. There was a moment of silence at the banquet. Shen Da put down his wine glass and thought for a long time
’So that’s it, General Tong is a passionate man, Your Highness is no match for him.’
‘Junxu is willing to do everything to protect Tong Li and let him live in peace, even if it means giving up his own dignity and life.‘
With that, the banquet hall fell silent. Shen Da sat upright in silence, raising an eyebrow
’Why?‘
