Anger flared within him.
He roared, "You are so stubborn! This concerns a national crisis, why can't you be a little flexible?"
"It's just as I said. Bring me the token. If you don't have it, then any more you say is a waste of breath."

When the Northern Garrison Army arrived at Hai City, Lai An respectfully presented the passage permit.
Chi Jun examined it carefully, then said suddenly, "The Emperor never issued an edict. How did you get this permit?"
Lai An whispered into his ear, "Naturally, I completely fooled those city guard officers."
Ji Li's hearing was excellent, so he naturally heard what was said. He immediately sneered, "Everything the General taught you has gone to the dogs. But you've got a real knack for tricking people."
"What's the matter, jealous?" Lai An rolled his eyes at him and paid him no mind.
Chi Jun said, "That's enough. As long as we have the passage permit, that's what matters. We enter the city at once."
