NovelEnglishJiang Mingwei seems to have realised that the plot of putting out the fire on the Lantern Festival was inexplicably gone, so what came next was probably Xie Xuanji winning gloriously for the country. If so, then was it logical to participate in the negotiation and signing of the contract?

After Xie Xuanji took the initiative to volunteer, several people responded one after another. No one could blame them for not being active since this kind of thing was too risky. If they won, things were easy to handle; if they lost, the entire Dynasty would lose its reputation, so how were they supposed to handle this?
After all, there were many civil servants present here. Even the honourable ones have been pampered for a long time, which resulted in them gradually gaining weight. They usually hang out with officials and lords who were also not active in sports or physical activities.
