"If you truly do not trust me, how about this: first, let me go to Huining City. Once you see that all the Beiyin forces have withdrawn into the city and are no longer stationed outside, you can send word, how about that?"
If the troops were withdrawn, it would mean they had no intention of attacking. Sending a military report back under such conditions would be harmless.
Feng Rui pondered this carefully before responding cautiously, "That could work. However, Your Highness, I can only give you three days. If you do not return within those three days and Beiyin does not withdraw its troops, I will have no choice but to lead my men to attack Huining City. If I let you go, I must be able to bring you back. If you... if you cannot return, all the soldiers at Yanming Pass will be implicated."
