After Su Wen left, everything in the hall turned dull.
Cao Jin sat there in a daze, staring at the zither in front of him.
Emperor Zhou smiled and asked, "Envoy Cao, I wonder if my nephew could be considered to have won?"
Cao Jin smiled bitterly and said, "30%… I thought he was just boasting, but it turns out that he was actually giving me face… I lost this round! Serve the wine!"
After the 20 cups of wine were drunk, Emperor Zhou left.
The eunuch sent a message, "His Majesty has decreed that the banquet shall continue. Those who wish to leave may leave at any time."
Emperor Zhou could tell that if they continued to play, the people of Great Zhou would not be able to defeat Cao Jin.
Taking advantage of Su Wen getting back some of his pride, he knew when to stop.
Thus, he left immediately.
Yan Luoying sat in her seat, a dazzling smile spreading across her face.
She realized that she liked the Su Wen tonight even more.
