Carrying a vital mission, General Li resolutely stepped into the Barbarian Camp. Although displeased at heart, the Barbarian King put on a warm facade and hosted a banquet to welcome General Li.
Raising his wine cup with a forced smile, the Barbarian King said, "General Li, I am most delighted that you could come to my camp. For this peace petition, the marriage alliance is the key. As long as you agree to marry the Third Princess, our two nations can remain forever bound in friendship."
General Li smiled slightly, raised his own cup, and replied, "Your Majesty, this is a matter of great weight, and I must consider it with utmost care. However, having come to your esteemed camp, I shall treat you with sincerity. Yet a matter of marriage must also be conducted according to proper ritual; to rush the wedding might be improper."
