"Do you think Prince Zhen Nan will accept the decree to campaign against Prince Pingxi?"
The Ghost Emperor said, "You're underestimating him. This kind of thing that depletes his own power and does him no good at all, that shrewd ghost of a man would never fall for it."
Jiang Xiaobai laughed and said, "That's because he hasn't been given enough benefits. If he gets enough advantages, he might actually go and have a fight with Prince Pingxi."
"What benefits could entice him to make such a folly?" Ghost Emperor asked.
Jiang Xiaobai said, "You could tell Prince Zhen Nan that as long as he can quell Prince Pingxi, then Prince Pingxi's territory and soldiers will be his. Such stakes might tempt Prince Zhen Nan."
"No." Ghost Emperor said, "The power of Prince Zhen Nan and Prince Pingxi is evenly matched. If their two houses started fighting, even if a victor emerged in the end, the winning side wouldn't be much better off than the losing side. Mutual ruin is the only possibility."
