Chapter 282: Li Yuchun’s Lifelong Enemy
# 282. Li Yuchun’s Lifelong Enemy
The sun was high, and the banquet was in full swing. After making a round of toasts, Xu Qi'an excused himself under the pretext of going to the toilet and returned to his study, pondering how to handle the emissary from the Western Region’s Buddhist sect.
Zhong Li sat at the square table, head bowed, taking small bites of her meal.
Based on the research he had done recently, Xu Qi'an believed that the emissaries from the Buddhist sect had two main objectives in visiting the capital.
The primary goal, of course, was to investigate the Sangpo case—this was the main reason for their visit.
*The question is, whether the baldies are just here to gather information, or if they intend to stay in the capital and actively search for clues on Shenshu... I suppose they'll only make that decision after they get a clearer picture of the situation,* Xu Qi'an mused, twirling his brush.
Their secondary objective might be to come and demand answers.
The relationship between the Buddhist sect and the Great Feng was complicated. They’re allies in name but harbour animosity underneath.
Take, for example, the Battle of Shanhai Pass. The Buddhist Kingdoms of the West and the Great Feng were allies, part of the victorious coalition. Meanwhile, the Southern Marches and the Northern tribes were among the defeated.
