Chapter 176

Wang Hongjian asked with alarm, "Who is leading the team?" Li Lin gave a cold, mocking smile. "Deputy Commander Feng Xiuli." Wang Hongjian’s expression turned grave. As Commander of the Fourth Corps, Li Xinwen held sway over more than 100,000 troops; he was a regional power in his own right. Though a core member of the Central Army, he surely had his own agenda. Feng Xiuli, however, was different. As Deputy Commander of the Fourth Corps, he held almost no real power, as Li Xinwen kept the military grip tight. If he were leading a team to Beiping, it was likely he wanted to curry favor with Jiang Yiping to secure a patron for himself. It seemed the future of Beiping would only become more chaotic.
