"So, Beicang King holds a very high status in Great Xia."
"Extremely high!" Vice Minister Zhang continued, "Among various Princes, there are differences in strength, and Beicang King stands among the strongest, having emerged from the military ranks, rising rapidly. Although he's aged now, his strength is formidable, making him the premier powerhouse in the court, with a Heavenly Hero Army of a hundred thousand under his command."
Jiang Ning asked, "In the contest among the Princes, whom does he support now?"
Upon Jiang Ning's candid inquiry, even Vice Minister Zhang, a Second Grade official in the court, couldn't help but shudder in fear.
"Marquis, such matters shouldn't be discussed, especially within the Imperial Palace! With so many ears around, what we say might end up in the Imperial Library anytime!"
Hearing Vice Minister Zhang's heartbeat accelerating due to his question, Jiang Ning inwardly shook his head.
