Bai Qingyan was resourceful and wise. Li Zhijie did not want to give Bai Qingyan too much time to breathe and prepare. He needed to strike while the iron was hot. He would take the still-warm corpses to Youhua Road to demand an explanation from the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom!

Bai Qingyan ordered the remaining Dong family death warriors to follow Shen Qingzhu to Shaoyang County. She took the rest of the Huying Camp back to Youhua Road.
On the way, she detailed instructions to all the elite soldiers of the Huying Camp. When they returned to Youhua Road, they were to say that Bai Jinzhi and Shen Liangyu were sent by her to secretly inspect Qiushan Pass for anomalies. It turned out that Bai Jinzhi and Shen Liangyu saw people dressed in Jin clothing coming and going from an inn within Qiushan Pass, arousing their suspicions. So they went to investigate.
