Old Fang nodded, his tone firm. “In this way, Xiliang can inform other nations that our Jin Kingdom is too greedy. During the peace negotiations, when the two countries couldn’t agree, Jin sent assassins to kill their peace envoy King Yan in anger. With this excuse, Xiliang can seek aid from other countries and come back to wage war against our Jin Kingdom!”
“What Old Fang said is not impossible…” Zhang Duanrui nodded.
“But since the peace treaty has already been signed, what is Xiliang stirring up now? It can’t be that they felt they didn’t gain enough from the treaty and thus went to assassinate this King Yan, can it?” Zhen Zeping couldn’t understand. “Our Jin Kingdom won the war. If we find the treaty unsuitable, we can just continue fighting. Who would believe that a victorious nation would go through such convoluted schemes?”
“Then it must be that they plan to use his injury as an excuse to try to calm the situation!” Old Fang spoke slowly.
The group outside the Crown Prince’s tent discussed heatedly, but Bai Qingyan and the generals of the Bai family understood the situation clearly and kept silent.
Qin Shangzhi, Old Fang, and General Zhang Duanrui continued their discussion incessantly. Bai Qingyan stood quietly to the side, carefully contemplating the purpose of Li Zhijie’s visit.
She thought… Li Zhijie must not dare to tell the Crown Prince that the reason the Huying Camp and those assassins went to Qiushan Pass was to rescue Bai Qingyun, whom he held captive.
Even if Li Zhijie revealed this matter today, it was too late. He hadn’t mentioned having the Bai family member in his hand during yesterday’s peace negotiations and only brought it up today. Given the Crown Prince’s suspicious nature, what would he think?! He would naturally believe that Xiliang was trying to dissociate itself from those assassins in Jin attire and stir distrust between Jin’s monarch and his ministers.
