The once high and mighty Nangong Shi, mocked and derided, felt his blood pulsing violently, the veins at his temples nearly bursting. Struggling to contain himself, he said with difficulty, "That's right, I've lost, and have come to seek refuge under the Great Khan's command!"
Saknu leaned back, sitting on his chair with the grandeur of a great steed and a golden knife, laughing heartily as he said, "Liaodan does not harbor the useless. You are of no use to me. Why would I need you?"
Nangong Shi responded, "The Great Khan has ambitious aspirations and will surely not be satisfied with ruling just the land of Liaodan. Great Jin is bountiful and vast in territory and resources. I am willing to lend my strength to the Great Khan, to help you seize Great Jin."
