“Please listen, your highness.”


  She poured a cup of tea for Gong Che.

  “In terms of interests, Dayu has both the land and the resources. There is much to be gained in this transaction for Yuheng, so we will not dare to do anything that may destroy our treaty.”


  Gong Che only sipped on his tea and did not speak.

  “Secondly, though this one is highly valued by the second prince, this one has journeyed north and south for many years and naturally considers himself a fair and peaceful person. I believe my vision is broad enough that I may never do anything like killing a chicken to retrieve its eggs.”


  Then, she suddenly looked up with a smile and said to Gong Che with a cunning glance, “Of course, the most important thing is that someone has told me that they can improve ships and expand a fleet. She has also told me that if necessary, she has passed me this item that I may show to His Highness.”


  Then Gong Yimo took something out from her sleeve.

  Gong Che looked at it. It actually turned out to be a dagger studded full of gems!

  This is!

  He grabbed the dagger in an instant, and his expression showed excitement!
