"After I get down, I will immediately send people up the mountain to thoroughly investigate the details of this tribe and their iron ore trade."

"Once we find out a result, we will report to General Liu immediately."

"General Liu, please don't be impulsive. If this matter is brought to the attention of the Salt and Iron Office, we at Dasanguan will be charged with dereliction of duty. While the charges could be serious or minor, we cannot afford to give the imperial censors in the court any accusation against us."

"There's a lot of infighting going on in the court right now, and General Liu is not blind to the situation. It's not worth it to give someone a handle on us at this time."

"After all, our Dasan Pass is Miss Ling'er's hometown. She is free without her parents, but we can't lose Dasan Pass as a place to move around."

"There is also a Tiandihui..."

An Shirong spoke clearly about the facts and the reasons, trying to make Liu Feng understand that doing so would be a lose-lose situation, so there was no point.

However, in An Shirong's eyes, it was a lose-lose move, but in Liu Feng's eyes, it might not be the case.

An Shirong said so much, he didn't care about what came before at all.

Why would both sides suffer losses? The only thing that made Liu Feng wary was the Tiandihui.

If it weren't for the existence of the Tiandihui, Liu Feng would have turned the table over long ago and wouldn't even give you a chance to play chess.

Just at this moment, the maid brought the tea. Liu Feng looked at the tea in front of him and suddenly frowned.

"I poured the tea a little too full."

An Shirong was talking to Liu Feng when he was suddenly interrupted by Liu Feng. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at the teacup in front of Liu Feng.

That’s right, the maids are all trained. They are familiar with how to pour tea and when to pour tea.

Liu Feng looked at An Shirong, who was looking at his cup seriously, and rolled his eyes at him.

How can you be so stupid?

"Tea itself is a good thing. Drinking it can make people's minds clear, but it also has disadvantages. If you drink too much, there is a risk of not being able to sleep at night."
