After Dong Chenglang drank a cup of tea, Xie Jingchen instructed him to inform General Shi about the Prince of Nanliang sending people to follow him, so that General Shi could be mentally prepared.
Upon hearing this, General Shi was uncertain whether to give Dong Chenglang a beating or not.
The Crown Prince came to the military camp, yet he didn't stay put, instead he ran to the town. Doesn't this plainly show disrespect to the Crown Prince?
However, if he hadn't gone to the town, he wouldn't have helped Zhao Xu eliminate the assassins, nor would he have realized that the Crown Prince was already so wary of them.
General Shi shared the same view as Xie Jingchen.
Once the Prince of Nanliang doubts, it's not so easy to regain his trust.
Now that Duke Huguo has been killed and the Crown Prince is at the border, it is the perfect time to relocate the Shi Family members.
