Only Qi Xingyan and the Champion Marquis remained at the table.
But neither of them was the least bit drunk.
Qi Xingyan's aged eyes were perfectly clear as he looked at the Champion Marquis. "Huo Guanjun, what are your plans for this journey? In any case, our families are connected by marriage. There are some things only you and I can discuss."
Huo Qing swirled the liquid in his cup, contemplating. "The Court is sending me to the Northwest Three States to serve as Governor. The military force there is sufficient. It's best if I don't interfere too much, lest I bring disaster upon myself."
"I believe you must interfere."
Qi Xingyan's gaze was serene, a faint smile playing on his lips beneath his white beard.
"Oh? And why is that?"
Huo Qing was slightly taken aback.
"If you wish to truly grasp the future, General Huo, you must not only interfere, but you must also ally with Prince Zhenbei."
The Champion Marquis was shocked to hear such a bold proposition.
