Duke Li was somewhat displeased in his heart.
This daughter was overly free-spirited and fierce by nature, yet she didn't help him.
Instead, she sided with an outsider.
He sipped his wine slowly, and although displeased, he knew that this was a time when manpower was most needed, and he couldn't be stingy, so he decisively said:
"In that case, why not add a little extra? Tens of thousands of silver are not a problem. I will give you the prize as if our army had won a great victory. This time, upon defeating the 100,000 Western Regions coalition, the court will surely bestow a reward. No matter how much gold and silver our Daying Kingdom's Majesty grants."
"Whether it be 100,000 taels, 1,000,000 taels, or even 10,000,000 taels."
"Between you and me, it's a seventy-thirty split!"
These nobles and generals around turned pale: "Lord!"
"This—"
Li Guanyi was also somewhat surprised. He pondered the atmosphere, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Thirty percent of the reward to me?"
