Qiu Yang had just left the bedchamber after reporting recent affairs, when suddenly he was called back by a voice.
"Lord Qiu Yang, please wait a moment!"
"Oh, what do you need from me?" Qiu Yang turned around to look at the person who called him.
It was Ge Chen who serves before the emperor, a person of resourceful intelligence and cleverness, adept at handling affairs and greatly favored by Your Majesty.
Ge Chen lowered his voice mysteriously, "I am very curious about something, and I'd like to ask Lord Qiu Yang, why does Your Majesty value that small nation so highly?"
He wondered, "Without sending troops to attack, he even wants us to provide support. I've been tossing and turning for days, thinking hard but cannot figure out what Your Majesty is thinking."
Ge Chen looked at Qiu Yang with a few flattering, ingratiating intentions, "You are a close confidant of Your Majesty, you must know the inside story."
