"Minister Liu... I have said it many times, we, the sovereign and subjects of Zhou, need not be so formal with each other! Let's eat!" During the meal, Bai Qingyan discussed the envoy from the Tianfeng Kingdom with Liu Rushi, who found nothing to worry about, reasoning that since the Tianfeng Kingdom was coming for peace talks, it's better to have their demands openly presented rather than concealed.
After Liu Rushi left, Bai Qingyan asked Chun Tao to remove the dinner and sent someone to summon Zeng Shanru.
After the battle with the Tianfeng Kingdom, Bai Qingyan had the weapons and a part of the armor on the giant elephants dismantled and sent to Zeng Shanru, to see if these giant elephant armors and weapons were as indestructible as those Bai Jintong had brought back, crafted from ink powder.
