The Third Prince was already dumbfounded. He never expected that the strategies and responses he devised in the tent after his capture would lead to such a conclusion.
From Lord Zheng's mouth, he learned two shocking facts;
The King of the Wild People hadn't been sent to Yanjing as rumored; he was most likely in the hands of Lord Zheng;
Additionally, the King of the Wild People seemed to have pledged allegiance to Lord Zheng, offering strategies for him. Even the plan for the Yan Army's raid on the Naman Tribe at Snow Sea Pass was personally devised by the King of the Wild People.
Suddenly, an icy chill swept down the Third Prince's spine. This chill wasn't about his impending death but a sense of despair.
If the King of the Wild People had indeed submitted to Lord Pingye,
then the entire snowy plains,
what future could it possibly have?
What hope could one possibly wish for?
