Aside from minor demands such as facilitating trade, Yan's main objective was to exchange the Luoyue Pass in its possession for the "Qishan Valley" from Qi.
"Ruobao, what exactly is the background of this Qishan Valley?" He Yunxiao asked in the carriage heading to the small meeting venue.
When Li Xiangjun spoke to He Yunxiao that day, He Yunxiao was too embarrassed to ask her directly. But now he felt comfortable asking Ruobao directly. After all, Ruobao was his wife, and he knew her inside and out.
"Qishan is a mountain range, not a single mountain. So, valleys are formed where the two mountains are separated," Ruobao explained.

Qishan is a mountain range on the border between Qi and Yan, located between Luoyue Pass and Yinjing City. If a new passage into Qi could be opened on Qishan, the northwestern gateway of Luoyue Pass would become virtually useless.
"That's the idea, but it's not that easy. My husband, think about it: if those valleys were really so easy to develop, why have there only been three main passages along the Qi-Yan border for over a hundred years?"
"But since the Yan Kingdom is so eager to exchange the Qishan Valley, they can't just give something useless in return."
Fan Ziruo smiled and said, "Ziruo has already written to Princess Xiaoyue about this matter, asking her to decide for us whether to change it or not. Moreover, Qishan is thousands of miles long and has many valleys. Which one to change to and how to change it are all matters that need to be discussed."

Fan Ziruo, the person involved, smiled and said, "National affairs are not to be taken lightly; of course, they require utmost caution."
He Yunxiao patted Ruobao's little hand and praised her without reservation: "It is truly a blessing for Qi to have you, sir."
