The North has now stabilized, with a leader supported by Su Yan having taken office to manage the invasion of the Northern people. The group now roaming Yunhai consists of remnants of the former leadership. They are likely working with Feng Yuchen, planning to assassinate Su Yan in Yunhai or carry out some other scheme. Feng Yuchen is highly intelligent; he wouldn't easily fall for a typical ruse of feigned injury. However, if they orchestrate an assassination attempt in collaboration with the Northern people, this event could cloud Feng Yuchen's judgment. By stoking his desire for revenge, Feng Yuchen would risk coming out, even if he knows it is dangerous, because he is well aware that he is no match for Su Yan and that this is his only chance to eliminate him.
He laid out the detailed plan to Zhao Yongan, whose expression turned incredibly grave. After pondering for a moment, he gave his response. "Your plan is sound, but I do not trust the Northern people. What if they take this opportunity to double-cross you and carry out the assassination for real?"
"You are very thorough," Su Yan replied with a shrug and a smile. "On that point, I cannot give you a definitive answer."
