The Crown Prince of Xiping speculated whether the young officer he sent to request reinforcements from the King of Jiujiang had been captured. Considering the King of Jiujiang had yet to arrive, he felt his suspicions were likely correct.
With a hoarse voice, he spoke up, "Although I am the heir of Xiping Palace, I am not yet the King of Xiping. I dare not claim the words of the Emperor of Zhou are baseless. However, I truly do not know of any undocumented mines or weapon workshops. I only heard my father mention it once with the King of Jiujiang, which is why... when I sent someone to request support from him, I used this matter to threaten! But the King of Jiujiang has not shown up either. It's possible... this matter may be false."
Bai Qingyan raised an eyebrow.
As for the person the Crown Prince of Xiping sent to Jiujiang, Bai Jinzhi was unsure if they had been allowed passage or if they had been killed on the spot.
