The Bai family's Hidden Guards did not dare to delay, and quickly returned to the city to report the matter to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan, upon hearing this, set down the bamboo slip in her hand. She estimated that General Cui Shanzhong had sent the news of her being trapped in Jiangzi City towards Yecheng Pass. At this moment... either Yang Wuce heard the news and dispatched troops to assist, or... Yang Wuce realized Jiangzi City hadn't sent a smoke signal and suspected she had other plans, so he was frequently sending scouts to investigate the situation in Jiangzi City. Therefore, General Cui Shanzhong planned to attack the city in a show of force, compelling Yang Wuce to bring troops as reinforcements, intending to pretend to attack the city.
Bai Qingyan considered the tasks assigned to Du Sanbao. Over the past few days, she had been continually assigning more personnel to Du Sanbao's charge, and it should be nearly complete.
