Just when Li Pei had thoroughly defeated the Xiang Family, in less than half an hour, Governor Wen Renliang received the news.
He immediately summoned two subordinates who were deeply involved with the matter to meet in his study.
"Although Princess Yongping is well-intentioned, it looks like she will not be able to raise the necessary grain," said Wen Renliang as he twirled a well-worn sandalwood Buddha bead in his hand, calmly stating:
"Yunzhou is dotted with concession territories and is frequented by politicians and dignitaries from various countries. It serves as an important trading port and the face of our dynasty, and we cannot afford any mishaps."
Lu Shijie and Xu were inwardly focused and silently listened to the Prefectural Governor without uttering a word.
