Bai Qingyan's cold, jade-like fingers rested on Xiao Rongyan's hand, gently grasping his strong wrist bone. "Yan wants to conquer Wei. It has stirred my fighting spirit."
Xiao Rongyan wasn't surprised that Bai Qingyan could discern his intentions. Indeed, he wanted to conquer Wei to show the states that Yan was not the same as before, and to lay the groundwork for future endeavors.
"Conquer Liang?" Xiao Rongyan asked.
Bai Qingyan nodded. "It's unfortunate... The Jin Kingdom is not under my sole command. Whether it's the Emperor or the Crown Prince, they are afraid of becoming the target of all, so they won't easily dispatch troops to conquer a nation."
