Lie Fan after laughing then remarks that Sun Shangxiang and Wannian would likely be fast friends, which he hoped that Sun Jian would not mind if they met up, as it would cause the two of them to have a headache. This caused everyone at the banquet to laugh, even Jia Xu, except for Sun Shangxiang who pouted in her seat.

Sun Shangxiang while pouting also intrigued to meet with Wannian, she doesn’t have many friends in Yuzhang due to her status and her unladylike personality makes most of the Nobles who have a daughter steer them away from her.

This caused her to feel lonely at times, now hearing that there’s someone who has the same personality lasher, she is full of hope that like Lie Fan said she can have a new friend today.

The banquet was just like a welcoming party, no one talked about Sun Jian’s reason for coming to Xiapi to meet Lie Fan, today they made it a celebration of a reunion between Lie Fan and Sun Jian after so long.

Lie Fan and Sun Jian are drinking fruity wine together, talking and laughing about their past experiences Sun Ce and Zhou Yu listen closely since they feel that the story Lie Fan and Sun Jian talked about has some form of merit to be studied and incorporated into their life.

Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan also transfixed listening to Sun Jian and Lie Fan, Sun Shangxiang was interested in martial arts stories while Sun Quan was more interested in politics and domestic management whereas Lie Fan is famous in this field.

Sun Quan listened to his teachers back at Yuzhang, how Lie Fan’s domestic policies and management helped the people of Xu Province who were suffering from famine and war, to recuperate even exceed their previous situation before famine and war became one.

After Lie Fan’s fame grew thanks to the battle at Hulao Pass, which made him famous throughout the land what he did in Xu Province was known by the other Warlords, some disdained it while some like Cao Cao embraced it and used it to his advantage.

The Crop Rotation System was also known by the other warlords after Dong Zhuo’s defeat at Hulao Pass and fleeing Luoyang, the Orioles tried their best to hold this information back but sooner or later it would be known.

Thanks to that the Crop Rotation System was known by all but the methods and type of plants for each rotation were not known, Lie Fan has managed to keep this secret and will do so while the others need to experiment.

Many Scholars praised this system and named it Lie Fan’s Crop System, which then Lie Fan became a figure that was taught to Nobles, Scholars, and Merchants’ younger generation.

As the banquet drew to a close, Lie Fan with a sense of contentment, rose from his seat declaring the end of the banquet since the sky had turned dark, and gestured for Sun Jian and his entourage to follow him to his designated residence.

Sun Jian was honored by having Lie Fan guide him and his entourage to the residence prepared for him. The night was adorned with lanterns, and the bustling sound of the night market accompanied Lie Fan with his bodyguards guiding Sun Jian and his entourage.

Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shangxiang were immediately activated by the Night Market, they had never seen such a bustling market at night time, no they hadn’t even seen a market open at night.

Lie Fan can see that they are captivated, Sun Jian and Zhou Yu don’t show it on their faces but they are also interested in this night market, especially Zhou Yu who thinks this could be implemented in Sun Jian’s domain.

Lie Fan graciously explained to them the concept of the Night Market, now this may seem like a bad move but it also helped Lie Fan in the long run, if he in the future divided to conquer Sun Jian’s domain he wouldn’t need to introduce the Night Market slowly.

Everyone was captivated by Lie Fan’s explanation especially Zhou Yu who also learned domestic management, where he realized that if he could implement this in Sun Jian’s domain it could attract many merchants and open a new way of income.

While listening to Lie Fan’s explanation, they finally arrived at the Mansiom which had been prepared for Sun Jian and his entourage.

Lie Fan: ”Brother Wentai, I trust the accommodations will meet your expectations. If there is anything you require during your stay, do not hesitate to inform me or any of my advisors.”

Sun Jian: ”Your hospitality is unmatched, Brother Lie Fan. I’m honored and thankful that you prepared such a big mansion for us, when you visit Yuzhang in the future I will repay this favor Haha!”

Lie Fan: ”It is my pleasure to Brother Wentai to prepare this for you and I will hold onto your words, I will visit Yuzhang in the near future after Yang Province has entered a calm state.”

Sun Jian: ”Of Course, Of Course, the words of I Sun Jian weighed like a thousand gold!”

Lie Fan: ”Haha I will never doubt Brother Wentai’s words, Now let me show you the inside of the mansion.”

Lie Fan’s bodyguard opened the mansion’s door, showing the interior of the mansion which reflected elegance and comfort, befitting Sun Jian’s stature. Liu Ye has ensured that every detail was attended to, from the tasteful decor to the soothing atmosphere.

Sun Jian and his entourage were surprised by this, as they had never thought that Lie Fan would prepare this mansion to such a degree for them. They entered the mansion, accompanied by Lie Fan while filled with awe.

After showing them to their quarters, Lie Fan before parting with Sun Jian told him that his mansion was near his residence, so he would pick him up tomorrow morning and ride toward the Governor’s castle together.

Lie Fan then leaves the mansion, leaving Sun Jian and his entourage to take a rest after a long day. He returned to his residence accompanied by his bodyguards, where he went to Cai Wenji’s quarter after washing himself to sleep there for the night.

The next day, Lie Fan woke up and kissed Cai Wenji on the forehead then went to wash himself after eating a light snack, he then brought Zhou Cang and Huang Shao with him heading to Sun Jian’s temporary mansion.

Lie Fan after a short ride arrived at Sun Jian’s temporary mansion. The morning sun bathed the surroundings in a warm glow as Lie Fan greeted Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu, who waited for Lie Fan’s arrival at the entrance.

After exchanging greetings, the group mounted their horses, and they rode towards the Governor Castle, on the way there Lie Fan engaged in conversations with Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu.

They finally reached Governor Castle which was actually not that far from Sun Jian’s mansion but also not that close which was a perfect distance to enjoy a morning ride taking in the fresh air.

They dismounted their horses, which were taken by the stablehands and Lie Fan led them toward the main hall, where it was used to receive Guests and also to hold meetings with Lie Fan’s council.

In the main hall Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye awaited Lie Fan and Sun Jian’s arrival, as they needed to be present for this historical meeting between 2 Warlords who will discuss the interests and benefits of their alliance.

Lie Fan: ”Brother Wentai, after some festivities yesterday now it’s time for us to discuss some official matters, first I would like to ask you the reason for your visit to Xiapi and come meet me?”

Sun Jian: ”Brother Lie Fan, my visit to Xiapi and meeting you is to discuss the matter of our alliance further and the splitting of Yang Province.”

Lie Fan: ”Brother Wentai I feel that the matter of our alliance doesn’t need any further discussion, and for the matter is splitting Yang Province between the two of us, I thought that I would receive the northern land of Yang Province and you the south?”

Sun Jian: ”Brother Lie Fan, the matter of dividing the Yang Province agreement is still the same, what I want to discuss is Sheng Xian. As for our alliance, I believe the strength of our bond can be further solidified. We don’t need to have a marriage between our two clans, but a closer connection between our families could enhance the trust and cooperation between us, What are your thoughts on this matter?”

Lie Fan: ”Brother Wentai, I agree that a closer connection between our clans will fortify our alliance, and fostering familial ties is crucial. Now, regarding Sheng Xian, let us seek the counsel of our trusted advisors, Jia Xu, and Zhou Yu.”

Jia Xu: ”My lords, Sheng Xian’s domain is in the middle of our shared border with Lord Sun Jian’s domain after we managed to subjugate Liu Yao’s domain, I suggest that My Lord take the northern and eastern county, while Lord Sun Jian take the rest.”

Zhou Yu: ”I agree with Master Jia Xu’s opinion, it’s a balanced distribution for My Lord and Lord Lie Fan, I only wanted to ask if Sheng Xian’s Navy can be given all to My Lord, Lord Lie Fan?”

Liu Ye: ”My Lord I’m sorry for interrupting, but I feel that if we gave all of Liu Yao’s navy ships to Lord Sun Jian we can’t guard the coast of Yang Province safely.”

Sun Jian: ”What Master Liu Ye said is right, Gongjin what you have requested of Brother Lie Fan is preposterous! Apologize to Brother Lie Fan!”

Lie Fan seeing this told Sun Jian to calm down, as he didn’t feel offended by Zhou Yu’s request. Lie Fan agrees to Zhou Yu’s request, saying that he will give all of Sheng Xian’s navy ships to Sun Jian.

This surprised Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu who didn’t expect that Lie Fan would agree to this request, as they thought that Lie Fan would definitely need this ship as Xu Province itself doesn’t have too many warships.

On the other hand, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye glanced at each other. What Liu Ye did before was just a play, they actually didn’t need Sheng Xian’s backward ships after creating their own ships.

Liu Ye did that just to put some sort of resistance as if Lie Fan agreed to that matter without any of them objecting it would only cause some suspicion, so that’s why Liu Ye did just that.

Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye continued their play, they objected to Lie Fan’s agreement to give Sun Jian all of Sheng Xian’s navy ships, as they needed at least half of that is the reason they used. Lie Fan of course vetoed their injection, causing Sun Jian and Sun Ce to feel grateful while Zhou Yu felt a bit suspicious of him.
