"Today, I have prepared fine wine and delicacies, intending to show goodwill to Jin Kingdom. I hadn't expected so many unpleasant occurrences!" Li Zhijie, with a smiling face, showed flexibility. He sat down, took up an iron-bone fan, and clapped it in his palm, calling people to come in. "Quick! Help General Bai with his table, and serve him wine and dishes anew! I toast to you all as an apology!"
Perhaps because of Li Zhijie's handsome appearance and remarkable demeanor, when his attitude softened, the expressions of the peace envoys from Jin Kingdom also eased considerably.
Liu Rushi, however, was not willing to save face, only wanting to strike while the iron was hot. "No need for apologies! I ask the King Yan to bring out the peace treaty of Xiliang and conclude this matter as soon as possible!"
Since Xiliang sought peace, Xiliang must first present the peace terms.
