However, when telling Emperor Hui, he said the source of the information was that his own cargo ships had discovered a large number of foreign warships sailing towards the mainland.
Zhou Lingyin added, "Your Majesty, torrential rains have fallen in the Huainan area, and the floodwaters are already waist-deep in some places."

However, no news of the invasion by the Dongli people and the Lu Zhenla Kingdom was received.
“Your Majesty, they came from the sea. My large ship was sailing on the sea and I did see that the foreign flag flying on their ship was the Dongli tortoise flag.”
