But Xue Shuangtao understood all this; as the two of them talked, she would answer the things Li Guanyi needed, and gradually, Li Guanyi's gaze grew bright. Drinking and chatting at leisure, an hour passed, and seeing the sky outside grow dim, the Emperor Qin rose and said:
"Miss, I need to go to the Heavenly Strategy Mansion."
"Having seen the intelligence from Changfeng Building, we still need to further confirm our strategy."
Xue Shuangtao looked at him and said, "Is it going to be the final battle?"
Li Guanyi's steps paused for a moment; he answered solemnly, "Yes, the final battle, the truly final battle, the last great war that will choke off all resistance when Taiping is established."
