Ever since Bai Qingyan learned of the Tianfeng Kingdom, she had harbored a sense of caution towards it...
This Tianfeng Kingdom, capable of forging invincible weapons, had remained content within its borders for years. While this might be seen as the monarch being content with the status quo, now it is known that Tianfeng has an Elephant Army, and preparations for this army have long been underway. With both the Yan and the Zhou coveting Xiliang, why send the Elephant Army to Xiliang?
Could it be that they are willing to pay such a great price for the little advantage Xiliang can offer, just to fight on Xiliang's behalf? Is the monarch of Tianfeng a saint... could every court official be a saint?
Bai Qingyan asked Yue Shi to deliver the news to Xiao Rongyan, to allow Xiao Rongyan to prepare in advance. Perhaps she was being overly anxious; with Xiao Rongyan's intelligence network, he might have already received the news.
