Captain Song spoke in a stern tone: "What do you mean by that, your majesty?" Liu Shan Men is neutral and has never sided with any of the princes' parties. Their relationship with the princes isn't exactly good. As soon as he noticed that the Orange Prince was coming on aggressively, Captain Song decided to be extra cautious.

The Orange Prince pointed at him with a disgusted look and said: "Hmph! Fine, you have the right to negotiate the conditions. Tell me what they are, but don't push
