"It seems, General Wang, you have investigated quite thoroughly." Ye Shikai teased.
"Of course, Ye, you were once my colleague. I am quite familiar with you. Back then, you disobeyed orders to save the people, not for other reasons. Just for that, I toast to you again." Wang Li suddenly laughed awkwardly, "I apologize, Ye, I have issued an order in the army that neither generals nor soldiers can drink alcohol, so I can only use tea instead."
"I have reported to the court that as long as you, Ye, are willing to join us, all past offenses can be wiped clean. Neither you nor your family will be punished. Furthermore, if you wish, you can still enlist as a general under my command. What do you think?"
"Haha."
"Why, do you not believe in my sincerity, Ye?"
"Of course, I believe you. General Wang is from the General's Family, your grandfather Wang Jian was a renowned general of the empire. Your word is as good as gold, I have no reason not to believe." Ye Shikai shook his head.
