Song Shiyan was a crude man, a military officer, and he knew that Rèn Qímǐn still harbored suspicions about him. Determined to dispel those doubts, he took Rèn Qímǐn to visit his training camp the very next day.
Rèn Qímǐn was a military Chief of Staff; one could say he had thousands of troops marshaled in his mind. It was just that he was currently a dragon trapped in shallow waters. Should the day come when the dragon entered the sea, it would surely stir up wind and clouds, shaking the world.
He took but a single glance at Song Shiyan’s troops, and a plan began to form in his mind. Noticing that Rèn Qímǐn had ceased looking after that brief inspection, Song Shiyan assumed his men had failed to impress him. He leaned in and whispered, "Chief of Staff, this is only a fraction of my force. I have armaments and other training grounds elsewhere!"
