"Xiyu and Beiyao have already submitted to Huangming. Do you still think that my signing of a 100-year truce agreement with Huangming is a reckless act and that I need to think twice before acting?"
Several officials and generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty looked at each other in fear, and soon they knelt on the ground.
"I am ignorant."
"I am ignorant."
Compared with Beiyao and Xiyu's submission, signing a hundred-year truce agreement is of course more advantageous.
At least there is no need to pay tribute every year, change the monarch, or get the permission of the Queen of Huangming Kingdom.

Finally, no one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty dared to talk nonsense anymore, so Su Qiao could relax for a while and handed over some chores to Mu Jin and Mu Rong to handle.
Ye Lihan also handed over the miscellaneous matters to a few ministers and generals, and took Su Qiao on horseback to Lishan, which was not far away.
The two men rode side by side, with their guards following far behind them.
“Are there any hot springs in this place?”
How come she didn't know there were hot springs here
"Yes, at the foot of Mount Li."
"The scenery is pleasant and the temperature is suitable. I also had a palace built to avoid the summer heat. We can live there when it's hot. When we're bored, we can go hunting in the mountains."
Su Qiao glanced at him with a bit of surprise: "Aren't you quite stingy? How could you be willing to spend so much money on these?"
Ye Lihan looked at her and smiled, then suddenly flew up and landed on her horse's back.
"I really like money, and I also like making money. I used to think that money is hard to come by, and shouldn't be wasted when it's not necessary, but recently I suddenly feel that the pleasure of spending money is no less than the pleasure of making money."
He leaned over quietly and whispered in her ear deliberately: "Especially when I spend money on you."
Su Qiao's reaction was to roll his eyes toward the sky.
Then he pulled his face open.
"After staying in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a while, I've changed a lot. I can now speak sweet words easily."
Ye Lihan felt helpless and amused.
He forgot that she was different from other women.
There's no such thing as shyness.
"I don't know how to say sweet things. I only speak the truth. You know, I'm pretty stupid."
"Haha, are you still stupid?"
Do you have to poke the sky down to be considered smart
Su Qiao turned his head and glanced at him, then suddenly patted the horse's back and sped up.
Ye Lihan was startled and quickly hugged her waist tightly.
Originally, I wanted him to take the reins and ride the horse while I hugged her, but now it turned out to be...
Ye Lihan quietly looked back.
When he found that the guards behind him were far away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he simply leaned his head forward and lay on Su Qiao's back.
When they reached the foot of Lishan Mountain, the two men dismounted.
Ye Lihan then continued with what he was saying before.
"Well, I'm not stupid, just a little bit dumber than you."
"Actually, I've figured it out. You and I are not young anymore. We both had a hard time in the first half of our lives. For the rest of my life, I hope to live a prosperous and healthy life with you."
"So, I decided to spend all the money I've earned over the years before I close my eyes to you."
“…” What kind of a plan is this
"Don't you want to leave some for future generations?"
Ye Lihan shook his head decisively: "No."
"If they want silver, they can earn it themselves. It is enough to leave a sufficient treasury for them."
"My money is only for you to spend, don't even think about it for others."
Why should he give them the money he had worked so hard to save
Su Qiao: “…”
Should she say 'I'm honored'
