Ting He listened to the story, quickly grasped the main point, and said, "My lady, our old master is also not on good terms with Xun Xu."
Zhao Hanzhang burst into laughter upon hearing this, almost to the point of tears, "You're right, that's why we are aligned with Yang Gong's faction, hahaha..."
After laughing, Zhao Hanzhang became serious and solemnly said, "As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' Those gathered around Wang Yan and Wang Rong naturally have great similarities with them. Those slightly further out are forced by circumstances to depend on them."
