Su Yi said blandly: “Reputation? As a defeated general, why should one still care so ht seem that he said these words to Wanyan Shuo, it also seeh he meant to direct those words at himself
Wanyan Shuo gave a grunt and said: “Exactly so, the both of you are two pedantic, what is reputation after all? It is a ed posthumously by people that come after us Since you have made sacrifices to ensure the welfare of the common people, even if you surrender, people would say that it is a case of a talented person choosing as a patron of integrity, and consider you a good person If your actions da to the people, even if you never sub Hurand General and have been praised as having exceptional ability in both martial arts and scholarly studies, you still fail to understand this truth that even I, a little child, can grasp” So saying, he turned to leave, but suddenly turned back to say: “But that's alright, I will teach you well in future,all the while
At this rief, but he sorely wished that he could smash his teacup on the body of this devious little ie had rankled Su Yi, itof rereatly diluted He suddenly sensed that another person had co his head to take a look, he saw that it was none other than Xu Jinhua, who on that day
In his exciteet on his feet, only for this long-time close friend to press hi: “There are many pairs of eyes fixed on you now Since you have now occupied this seat, youyour current position in case people say that us Qi folk do not even understand these simple rules of etiquette”
Su Yi slowly re-seated himself, from the look in his eyes, it was clear that he al He said: “You… How have you ed to come here?”
Xu Jinhua replied: “It is your wedding after all, how could I not coly or unwillingly is anotherthat will affect your whole life Besides, I knew that at this s of hate and anger, if I didn't cos too hard How could I live with myself in future?”
Su Yi laughed bitterly and said: “Matters have already come to this, what is there to advise eneral who betrayed his country, that is the name I have secured for myself”
Xu Jinhua said: “You still care about that?

Also the spoke of how this new reat tolerance, and does not discriins Etcetera etcetera, most of the coh Wanyan Xu has failed to win your heart, he has won over the large majority of the Great Qi populace”
Su Yi's eyes ide and he was dumbstruck He muttered: “How could this be? How could this be? Could it be that the people… could it be that they do not ‘attach the most importance to the country’ [1], not even a little bit? Why do they praise him?”
Xu Jinhua sighed and said: “Well, that is because the life of a dog living in peace and security is better than the life of a oes that only after one has a country can one have a ho Rather it was the opposite, only after losing their country, could the people build a home Aii that's why I said that you need not carry so much anxiety anymore, it has already already come to this point whether you love it or whether you hate it, the situation is set Why not relax the standards you have set in yourso this position, you will naturally be considered as this country’s this country’s Mother of the Nation As such, you have to assist Wanyan Xu in governing our hoe of peace and prosperity across all the lands of this country”
Su Yi hung his head and remained silent, thus he did not notice when Wanyan Xu returned to his side Xu Jinhua hurriedly stood up and was about to take his leave when the newMaster Xu is upright and plainspoken, aheard of yourto recruit you as a minister forto compel you withtoday, Wanyan Xu wishes to state this plainly; if Young Master wishes to assist in creating a life of prosperity for the people, you can become a minister in the court at any ti Master's talents”
Xu Jinhua gave a s’s words” After saying that, he finally left Su Yi lifted his head to stare into Wanyan Xu's eyes and said blandly: “You said that you were afraid that he would think you were trying to co your power, but why are you afraid of that? It can’t be because you lack experience with those methods?”
Wanyan Xu gave a few ”he he” laughs, at the point he had finally gotten his heart's desire and was bea with happiness, and Su Yi's heavy irony made no impression whatsoever on him He didn't care at all for the fact that they were in front of an audience either, wrapping his arms around Si Yi's trim waist, he said: “Su Su, you need not hide behind brave words, it is almost time for us to retire to the bridal chamber, if you can still maintain such an attitude there, you would have my full admiration”
Su Yi was tre realised one after another Taking a peek out the , he said: “The sun has not set, it is still h I have not not been through a wedding ceremony before, I know this much at least As a monarch of a country, how could you be so impatient”
Wanyan Xu said: “How could I not be impatient, I have waited so many months But the customs of Jin Liao differ froht falls to retire to the bridal cha, his lips hovered by Su Yi's ears and whispered: “The men of Jin Liao extol the practice of y than ht is really as the poeht is too bitterly short, before long the sun is rising in the sky’; there is not enough time, so our custom is to retire to the bridal cha another round of toasts, it will be tio This is already considered fairly late, Su Su, have you prepared yourself?
