"Then don't end it."
Liang Qingwu said calmly, "I won't risk the lives of my soldiers to fight a war that I can't win. I can't just sit back and watch this war that will destroy my country begin!"
Listening to Liang Qingwu's resolute words, Shen Chong took a deep breath and said, "I will also give advice. Even if it means losing my title or even my life, I will stick to it to the end."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Liangyu whispered: "Maybe there will be a turning point. We still have the helper of Shengqian Huiyuan."
"Um."
Shen Chong nodded in response.
Liang Qingwu said calmly, "It's not easy for Song Chi to become the first in the Saint Pre-Sage Meeting. It's better not to speak nonsense, lest you ruin your future."
"That's true."
Shen Chong sighed deeply. He had a feeling that tonight's banquet would be disastrous.
"Come in."
Dongji Hall is a large hall in the palace. It is brightly lit and magnificent.
Individual long tables were placed in the hall, and palace maids dressed in cool and beautiful clothes were coming and going to set up meals. Many people had already arrived and were gathering in groups of three or five to chat, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
There were several eunuchs standing at the entrance of the palace to welcome people, and they would introduce the name of each person who came.
Song Chi has already arrived at the banquet. As the only person to win the title of Saint in the imperial court since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he naturally attracted much attention. For this reason, Lu Taiyuan arrived early and led Song Chi to meet the court officials.
"Those invited to the banquet are all powerful and influential people in the Great Zhou. Getting to know them will be beneficial for your future career in officialdom."
Lu Taiyuan gave advice like a teacher.
"Yeah." Song Chi nodded in response. He was humble and polite to others, and his words were appropriate, which attracted a lot of praise.
After meeting a number of people, Lu Taiyuan pulled Song Chi aside and said, "Yesterday, Liang Qingwu returned to the capital. His Royal Highness Prince Qing invited her to a banquet but was rejected. Liang Qingwu seems determined to persuade him to stop the war. Didn't I ask you to persuade her? Why didn't you do it?"
Song Chi looked slightly stunned and said, "If even His Royal Highness Prince Qing can't see her, how can I? You don't really think the female commander will listen to me, do you?"
Lu Taiyuan said nothing.
Neither he nor His Royal Highness Prince Qing had expected Liang Qingwu to be so resolute. If Liang Qingwu had joined the war, there would have been no dispute about His Royal Highness Prince Qing becoming the commander-in-chief. But now something went wrong.
"This woman is really stubborn. I'm afraid she's going to make a big mistake."
Lu Taiyuan said in a low voice: "When she comes later, go and persuade her."
Before Song Chi could respond, a loud voice came from the door.
"The female commander of the Great Zhou, Marquis Wu'an Liang Qingwu, enters the banquet!"
