"Zhao Meng is usually arrogant and domineering, but he only tries to curry favor with Li Wu. Ha! He has suffered a great loss today."
"A person like him, after entering a sect, can he also join the four major camps?"
"Why not!"
"Alas, Your Majesty actually suppressed the aristocratic families in the early years, but in the past ten years, he suddenly lifted the suppression. In addition, the military supplies also need to be shared by them, so naturally he has to give them a chance."
