"If all else fails, I'll write a letter to the Duke of England; I'm sure he'll give me some face!"

Zhi Shisi was speechless, thinking to himself that the names this kid casually mentioned were all big shots he looked up to.

However, he also knew that this was something the grandson had said while hugging him.

If he were to bring up his own grandfather, he would have to kneel down and listen.

“Your Highness, it’s not good for you to handle this matter personally; it’s easy for people to gossip. I’d rather you pull some strings yourself. It’s just a matter of spending a little more money, but we’re not short of money right now.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jue cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Zhishi Sili.

"Thank you for protecting me, General!"

"No need for thanks. If anyone should be thanking someone, it's this humble general who thanks Your Highness!"

"Your Highness doesn't know, those people in the Ministry of War are obsessed with money. Nothing can be done without money. This humble general is also taking your money to build connections for myself, hehehe."

Li Jue was very satisfied with what Zhi Shi Si Li said. He liked to deal with smart people, and Zhi Shi Si Li was undoubtedly a smart person. Even if he helped others, he would not make them feel indebted.

"Then I'll have to trouble General Zhishi Sili. Just tell me what you need or what you're missing. I still have some businesses in Chang'an."

Zhi Shi Sili chuckled upon hearing this.

"Since Your Highness puts it that way, then this humble general shall not stand on ceremony."

"I've heard that invitations to Qujiang Pool are very expensive; ordinary people can't even buy one for a thousand pieces of gold. When we return to Chang'an, you can send me a few invitations so I can show them off to my relatives and friends, hahaha!"

Li Jue smiled generously upon hearing this.

"No problem!"

"Qujiang Pool is our own property, you can go whenever you want!"
