Xie Xun returned to Ningzhou City with the setting sun, his mood terribly sour. He didn't know whether Dugu Jing would believe him, nor could he tell who in the military camp might be a Beiman spy. Although they had already conducted an investigation years ago, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers. For Beiman, it would be quite easy to plant someone there. Xie Xun and Xie Jue had already sifted through the ranks once, focusing on high-ranking generals. If they were to examine every single soldier, it would be nearly impossible.
All he could do was hope the Beiman weren't as capable as that, and that Dugu Jing would consider the welfare of the people and avoid igniting another war. Everyone needed time and peace to recover and rebuild their lives.
