　　The big procession marched with a ceremonious atmosphere as it arrived at the Tong An courtyard. He Di was immediately ushered in by Qing Li. With an exaggerated amount of generosity, Qing Li brought He Di into the inner courtyard and introduced his favourite woman, Shang Yi. “Shang Yi, this is the man I have always talked to you about, Prince He Di of Dan Lin. Come quickly and greet him.”

　　“Shang Yi pays respect to your Highness, Prince He Di.”

　　With only one glance, He Di understood the source of Qing Li’s ghost-like face of immoderation.

　　Once the door was closed and all the formalities were completed, it was time for the performance to begin.

　　“Prince, you are a straightforward person. Your traveling of such a far distance was for the sake of the late king, my father. I, Qing Li, will also refrain from saying any useless words. I do not wish to conceal the enemy who had killed him. The culprit was Xi lei’s Duke Ming and his men. He has already arrived at Tong Ze this morning, along with that loathsome uncle of mine.”

　　Qing Li excitedly revealed his plot, “Your Highness and I have already been allied for a few years now, during these few years I have sent plenty of gold and beautiful women. This time I want to ask your Highness for a small favour. Dan Lin’s sand is something I have been eyeing for a while. There are rumours that, using a special casting method, it can be used to create swords with a frightening sharpness that cannot be beaten by any other weapon in the world. Even an average royal family would not be able to afford it, but I have heard that all of Prince’s imperial guards are equipped with these swords. Is this the truth?”
