Ning Ansheng put down his brush calmly. The Third Prince, Cheryan, slammed the table. "Why is it doubling!"
Ning Ansheng's tone was calm. "Considering that you guys are invading us every year and are arrogant every year, it's better to set a higher number."
The Third Prince was furious. "Wasn't it high enough just now?"
Ning Ansheng shook his head. "This prince is so interesting. According to you, Xiongnu will behave yourself and abide by the covenant in the future. Then, the punishment for violating the agreement is just a formality. There's no practical meaning in the number. Since that's the case, why are you in a panic?"
He chuckled. "Could it be that you have something on your mind and don't plan to abide by the alliance at all?"
