"Your Majesty, please speak."
Xiao Cheng put down his teacup and said, "The court wants a quick victory, but I will not let them have their way. You go to the north in person and deliver the letter to Beiliang."
Wei Long was stunned. "Your Highness, are you trying to lure Beiliang to attack Jing Dynasty? Isn't this like inviting a wolf into the house?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely deliver the letter."
Xiao Cheng nodded, "Go ahead."
Wei Long bowed and left the study. He first arranged for the Black Feather Guard to deliver a letter to Cangjian Villa. Then he picked a fast horse and headed north.
