"The Bai family... their loyalty was to the people of Jin. Their sacrifices were to protect the people of Jin," Bai Qingyan solemnly looked at Liu Hong, "This is also why His Majesty wavered in his trust towards the Bai family."
"During the war in the Southern Frontier, His Majesty granted King Xin the gold medal and command arrow, leading to the deaths of my grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers on the battlefield! Now, with the war against Daliang... I hope such a tragedy will not happen again. Whether it is General Liu, the soldiers of the Jin Army, or my Bai family members, everyone came here for the same purpose, to protect the country and its people!"
Bai Qingyan's frankness caused an inexplicable unease in Liu Hong. His palm clenched. He wanted to ask Bai Qingyan if, when the people were destitute, the Bai family would also rise against the Lin Dynasty for the sake of the people.
