That afternoon in the palace, Ren Baqian met Qing Lian again.

She stepped forward and greeted, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Well, since we are acquaintances, just talk about why we are here." He chuckled and nodded his head. "I heard that you entered the city with hundreds of carts. Are you here to pay back the money?"

"You are right, Your Highness. We are here to pay back the money. Duke Su has never forgotten about the agreement that he made with you," Qing Lian replied. "However, apart from money, we require your help for one more thing. It's something very easy for you."

"Let's hear it first!" Ren Baqian had already guessed it after he heard about her troops the night before.
