Lu Ping cupped his fists and said to Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, let me accompany you. If we can persuade him, that would be best. But if Sun Wenyao cannot be persuaded, take him down directly to prevent future troubles."
Lu Ping meant to give them time to meet but not the opportunity to escape. This matter must be dealt with swiftly, or else the consequences would be endless.
After all, those Imperial Family Hidden Guards never foster emotional bonds among comrades; perhaps Sun Wenyao might be killed instead when attempting to persuade a surrender.
However, Lu Ping still admired Sun Wenyao for trying to find a path for survival for comrades who hadn't exchanged many words before.
Wei Zhong saw Sun Wenyao seemed to be pondering and smiled as he spoke to Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, this old servant dares to ask a question of this person; may I?"
"Go ahead…"
