An Jing immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Great General, you can't go, be careful of a trap inside!" She was truly afraid it was a dangerous banquet.
Others also felt there might be deceit, and none felt joyous anymore, urging Xiao Changyi not to go.
Before Xiao Changyi could speak, Meng Lanqing said, "It's not for the Great General to enter the city alone for negotiations; it's for the Great General to talk with him outside the city. He may have considered this and clearly explained to This General that he would stand on the city tower to negotiate terms with the Great General. If the negotiation succeeds, he will immediately open the city gates, and he will not break his word."
After hearing this, An Jing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all right; we can go and talk to him."
Xiao Changyi asked, "When did he say to negotiate?"
Meng Lanqing replied, "At any time."
