Hu Bin ignored Tong Minmin's threat. He returned to his study, took out a box from a hidden compartment, opened it, and found that Li Man was neither some military secret nor a rare treasure, but all sorts of children's toys.
Inside, there was a bamboo dragonfly, a grasshopper woven from straw, a faded small beaded flower, and a half-embroidered handkerchief...
He picked up these things over and over again, and carefully placed them back one by one, his eyes filled with intense darkness, muttering, "Eldest Lady, you can only be mine. For you, I am willing to pay any price, no matter how high."
"General Ye, I toast to you. In my lifetime, there are few people I admire, and you are one of them."
"Thank you, General." Ye Qiu smiled, calmly lifted his glass, and drank it all in one go.
"Good!" A burst of applause erupted at the banquet.
