Jiang Shouzhong cast a glance at the caravan's guards.
Liao Feihu, noticing what the other was thinking, explained: "You might not realize, although this is technically Nanjin Country's territory, it's no longer under their control."
"Why?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked at him in surprise.
Before Liao Feihu could respond, Xiao Lingqiu suddenly spoke: "The old Emperor has passed away?"
Liao Feihu froze for a moment, then nodded:
"That's correct. The old Emperor of Nanjin Country has passed. Right now, the Princes are fighting over the throne, each commanding their own troops and carving up the territory.
Moreover, many former tributary tribes have declared independence, including the Heshan Tribe where we currently reside. So now, Nanjin Country is nothing but a scattered mess."
Jiang Shouzhong recalled the young Prince Wanyan Wu Hai whom he met in Qingzhou.
