Feng Yao served a cup of hot tea to Xiao Rongyan and then stood silently to the side.
"I heard Liu Rushi made an appearance today?" Xiao Rongyan spoke.
"Indeed..." Wang Hanbing nodded, "This Minister Liu is truly impressive."
Xiao Rongyan picked up the teacup and asked, "Aside from discussing the Crown Prince as a hostage to Zhou, what else was talked about today?"
"To answer the Regent Prince, there was a discussion about setting aside several connected cities for negotiation, as it would be difficult to resolve everything all at once between the two nations," Wang Hanbing respectfully responded.
Xiao Rongyan lowered his gaze and pressed the teacup lid against the floating tea leaves, showing no intention of removing his mask to drink the tea: "So... how did the talks about Zhou providing hostages go?"
