"Former Qingzhou Commander Wei Xianzong? Come with me, Minister Xue wants to see you."
...
...
Wei Xianzong was taken to the government office, where he met Xue Shence in a room not far from the "Command Center."
"Lift your head and speak," Xue Shence said calmly as he sat behind the desk, noticing Wei Xianzong kept his head lowered, his gaze on the floor after entering.
When the latter lifted his head, revealing a face that had become much more gaunt and haggard, Xue Shence's gaze was complex:
"I never thought our next meeting would be under such circumstances."
Wei Xianzong, who had become exceptionally reticent after being captured, gave a self-mocking smile: "The Secretariat Envoy wouldn't have called me over just to taunt me."
The two had previously been in a superior-subordinate relationship, so they naturally knew each other.
However, Wei Xianzong, as a general supported by Yuann Li, was not in the same faction as Xue Shence.
