Wu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and then said, "Could it have come to this?"

King Jing, naturally unwilling to appear weak, immediately declared in a resounding voice, "That's not true!"

"It's just that we want to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible."

"Oh? Then there's nothing to worry about, Your Highness. Come and experience the customs of my barbarian tribe, haha." Wu Li laughed heartily.

"Your Highness, it's not a matter of one night. We've traveled a long way, so let's rest for one night and go back to report tomorrow morning." Jin Ziyi's guard had long since disappeared, and he said with a smile.

Having traveled so fast without having a hot meal, Jin Ziyi was already starving from the aroma of meat. He found the sight of the barbarians singing and dancing quite novel, which is why he spoke up to offer advice.

King Jing, who was already hesitant, could no longer suggest leaving. To do so would be disrespectful to the barbarians, who still needed his troops. He couldn't afford to create any resentment with them at this time.

Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled, "Alright then... I'd be impolite to refuse!"

"But let me make this clear first, I don't drink alcohol."

Wu Li looked surprised: "Your Highness doesn't drink?"

King Jing initially wanted to say that he didn't drink at all, but then realized that this excuse was rather inappropriate and seemed too fake. However, if he did drink, it would be even more troublesome, since drinking could easily lead to mistakes. Just as he was thinking of what excuse to come up with, Jin Ziyi spoke up first:

"Your Highness is a formidable drinker, but we are leaving early tomorrow morning, so it would be best if we didn't drink tonight."

"Another day, another day we'll have a good drink!" Jin Ziyi was quite satisfied with his two sentences, and he even glanced at Prince Jing as he spoke.

King Jing sighed inwardly and nodded helplessly: "Yes, another day. Another day I will definitely drink with the barbarian king until we are drunk."

Wu Li smiled and nodded: "Mm..."

But then he changed the subject: "But you still have to have a drink, Your Highness. I'll personally offer you a drink as an apology for my previous neglect. If you don't drink this one, I won't feel at ease. What do you say?"

Prince Jing looked hesitant, but seeing Wu Li's eager eyes, he finally agreed.

"Okay, just one cup, only one cup!"
