Back when they sent Prince Si back to Nanxin, the Emperor of Nanxin had tried every possible way to have him killed to frame the people of Dongji. It is hard to say whether the Xilei delegation might now be harboring the same intentions. However, Li Tianzhuo and his companions did not yet know what other plans the Zhu family had, beyond their ambition to seize control of Xilei’s throne.
"Your Highness, Nanxin does not accept the compensation terms proposed by the Xilei royal family. I fear the Xilei delegation will continue to linger in Nanxin, using this as an excuse to plot something," Jiang Yu analyzed meticulously. "If they join forces with that other spy in Nanxin, we will be attacked from both sides. We must make preparations in advance."
Deng Youning, listening nearby, stepped forward to suggest, "Perhaps I should send a letter back to Dongji, asking my cousin and my uncle to be prepared at all times. If something goes wrong in Nanxin, our Dongji troops will be able to arrive and provide support at the first opportunity."
