The plan to stick with the Governor ultimately failed, as he was told it was deemed unlawful.
Wang Linchi was prepared to argue vigorously but was forcibly silenced by the other party's overwhelming strength. It proved that having enough muscle indeed could shut a person up.
It wasn't Xu Shou who stopped him, because Xu Shou himself had been tempted. Mainly, standing with the Governor meant he wouldn't have to bear the pressure.
If he had to protect Wang Linchi alone, he wasn't confident, especially considering the current threat was formidable. He definitely couldn't handle it alone.
"So, what were they thinking? Is my 'initiative' important or not?" Wang Linchi complained.
It wasn't that it was unimportant; the defensive measures were actually quite good. But if it truly was significant, why only send Xu Shou? It was utterly contradictory, like the actions of a madman.
"There are too many factions from the Court, so..." Xu Shou didn't finish his sentence.
