Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "Indeed. These people are not only ruthless but also very scheming. It seems we must be careful of them in the future."
"If we can establish a relationship with the Ming Dynasty this time, I hope you can lend a hand. It would be best if you could find a backer there. This way, it would be much easier to get things done in the future."
Zheng Xuhong thought for a moment and said, "You make sense. I'll try to find a suitable person this time."
The two of them conspired again until the early hours of the morning before going to rest.
The next day, the sky was bright.
Zhang Yu walked out of the room while stretching, glanced at Song Xiang and said with a smile: "Why are you up so early? I didn't even know when you got up."

Zheng Xuhong's investigation was so quick, the people behind it were afraid he would find out, so they simply killed Zhang Fu to silence him and then framed Zheng Xuhong.

"What if he doesn't want to go?" Song Xiang asked with a frown. "This Fenglin Lord is only interested in gaining benefits, but he is a coward. He may not dare to go."
"Tell him this is a great opportunity to win people's hearts. Only if he takes action personally will the young and strong faction be moved to tears of gratitude. With such a huge benefit, he will dare to go." Zhang Yu said with a smile: "If all else fails, let Zheng Xuhong initiate the conversation."
