Bai Qihe noticed the elders of the clan murmuring amongst themselves and couldn't gauge Mrs. Dong's emotions. Feeling unsure, he fanned the flames by saying, "Madam, please speak freely. All of our clan will do whatever it takes without hesitation!"
The Bai Clan members saw their clan leader's stance and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Dong nodded, "Although Shuoyang has its own army, it is no match for a regular army. Therefore... with King Liang rebelling in Dadu City, we can only focus on our self-preservation!"
"The world is in chaos, and we can only do our best to take care of the people of Shuoyang. Now, with Princess of Zhen and Commandery Princess Gaoyi campaigning in Daliang with significant forces, should King Liang seize the throne, he will surely come to Shuoyang to control our Bai Clan to threaten Princess of Zhen and Commandery Princess Gaoyi!"
