Winning over Ning Hua through Bai Hé

Jia Li looked at the plaque, which Xianwu handed her. "I promised you one day the military will be on your side. Now, I'm the Chief General, so I'll ensure the military works for the good of the Tang Empire," he pronounced with a smile. 

Seeing the plaque, Jia Li felt a sense of happiness and guilt at the same time. "It's yours, Xianwu. You forgot that your rank is stronger than mine the moment you held the plaque of my late grandfather," she stated and placed it on his hand. "You are a man of your words. I'm proud of you," she asserted. 

Xianwu missed his father's voice saying he was proud of him. 

"I have something to discuss with you," Jia Li stated. 

"Hmm. Say," Xianwu lowered his hand while tightly holding the plaque.
