Chapter 868 Confession (3)

Lord Shen County was adept at assessing the situation. Initially, when Nangong Yi was passing through Qing County on his campaign, Lord Shen, fearing disfavor from Jin Guifei and The Prince, didn't even show his face and merely sent his wife with some liquor and meat as a token gesture. Now that it was clear he could no longer rely on The Prince and Jin Guifei, and with King Qin having won a victorious battle, he dared not underestimate him. Therefore, he spent a substantial amount of money to gather hundreds of live pigs and sheep, along with liquor and vegetables, to curry favor with Nangong Yi!

Though Nangong Yi did not care for him, he wouldn't snub someone who approached him with a smile, especially when they came bearing food and drink. So, he had no choice but to muster his energy and exchange a few civilities with him.
