In the end, Wang Linchi did not attend the Spring Feast—not because he chose not to go, but because the County Government was bombed.
Witnessing this scene left him utterly shocked. Just who were these daredevils capable of bombing the County Government?
The Prefectural Governor was killed on the spot, along with a large number of Officials. Because of this incident, the Imperial Guards, the Qiantian Iron Horse, and the Three Laws Department in Zhenhai City were all alerted. They rushed over overnight, locked down the entire Baishan County, and forcibly took control of the situation.
From the information Wang Linchi gathered, the Liu Kou were responsible. The Dajing Court was not the only dynasty in this world; various large and small kingdoms surrounded it. However, Dajing's formidable strength allowed it to deter its neighbors, though it couldn't entirely avoid incursions.
