Wanyan Honglie sent Qiu Qianren with gifts in an attempt to win over the Beggars' Sect and persuade them to withdraw from the north.
Qiu Qianren said, "Prince Zhao respects the Beggars' Sect and asked me to tell the sect leader that the north is bitterly cold and barren, so why not go to the warm and prosperous south?"
Li Huan chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "Wanyan Honglie is so damn naive!"
"Senior Piao, do you know what the Beggars' Sect's main business is now?"
"Main occupation?" Qiu Qianren was taken aback. "Beggar Clan disciples make a living by begging, so what main occupation do they have?"
Li Huan said, "Wrong! Besides begging, the Beggars' Sect also has its own main business!"
Qiu Qianren clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

Qiu Qianren said, "Chief Li is leading his Beggars' Sect disciples to set up a stall selling boxed lunches, hoping to earn 200,000 taels of silver. That's wishful thinking! We should accept Prince Zhao's generous gift, withdraw from the north, and head south directly!"
Taking the opportunity, Li Huan said, "You haven't tasted my cooking, so how do you know I can't earn two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Qiu Qianren, his face full of disdain, asked with a smile, "How much does each of Chief Li's boxed lunches cost?"
