"Master, the biggest event of these years is actually the imperial court's army being held up outside the border and in a deadlock with the remnants of the Former Yuan." Tao Rong said to Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing was puzzled: "Wang Boan commands an army of millions and is assisted by forces from all over the world. Wasn't he overwhelmingly victorious just a few years ago, and no one among the remnants of the Former Yuan able to stop him? How come there is a deadlock now?"
To be honest, Pei Xuanjing was very puzzled about this. The reason he'd felt confident enough to enter seclusion in the first place was that in his opinion, the sweeping victory of the army outside the border had already been determined. He'd never expected any setbacks.
