The ministers of Cheng Country were all stunned. They never expected their Great King to suddenly hand over power of Cheng Country, this, this, this...
Those not in the know couldn't speak for a moment.
In the evening, Zhao Hanzhang allowed the lords and ministers of Cheng Country to camp in her camp, and she followed Li Xiong to his camp the next day to meet the people at the foot of Ba Mountain.
Xun Fan and Fan Ying, who came along, advised, "Your Majesty, the son of a thousand gold should not sit beneath the eaves. Though Li Xiong is sincere, his subordinates may not be truly loyal, and if there are accidents..."
Zhao Hanzhang said meaningfully, "I acknowledge that a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall, but if a gentleman knows the wall will fall, why can't he stand there first, and only move aside at the last moment?"
Xun Fan frowned, "It's too dangerous, not the act of a gentleman."
Zhao Hanzhang insisted, "I trust Zeng Yue."
