Hou Jing's expression darkened slightly, but he did not get angry. After shaking his head, he merely said lightly, "Adding flowers to the brocade, no matter what, cannot compare to sending charcoal in the snow. Once you understand this principle, you will know."
Hou Kong's face froze, seemingly unable to come up with any rebuttal to Hou Jing's words.
But he quickly reacted, his expression slightly tense, "Second Uncle, is it because of Hou Bing and Hou Quan that you want to surrender to Great Xia?"
Apart from this, Hou Kong really couldn't think of any other reason for Hou Jing to have the thought of surrendering to Great Xia.
Hou Jing has only two sons, Hou Bing and Hou Quan. Now both have been captured by Great Xia. He is worried about their safety and wants to surrender to Great Xia in exchange for his sons' lives, which indeed makes sense.
"Of course, but I am doing it not only for my sons, but also for all of you."
