In the Imperial Study, the Emperor of Great Ming wore a deep frown.
Seeing Lin Lang enter, he immediately rose and said, "Master Lin, something serious has happened in Dali. They have requested our Great Ming's help."
"After long consideration, I believe only Master Lin can go there and resolve everything."
Lin Lang sat on a stool. "What happened in Dali?"
Dali had only one Jianghu sect, the Five Immortals Sect. Its local officials could easily deal with the other small sects. Even the leader of the once-powerful Iron Palm Gang had become Reverend Yideng's disciple.
Besides, Dali was only so large. Tianlong Temple's monks could reach anywhere within its borders in a single day. How easy it was to manage.
The Emperor of Great Ming looked deeply worried. "The Song Clan of Southern Yue wants passage through Dali to march north into Great Sui, saying something about avenging a son-in-law."
"But if Dali truly opens its passes and lets a hundred thousand elite troops march straight into its territory, they could occupy the entire country at any moment."
"Even if Dali's fortified passes can block the Song Clan's soldiers, they cannot stop its clan leader, Song Que. As allies, we should watch over and support each other under the treaty in our diplomatic documents."
"But Great Ming is currently recuperating and rebuilding, so it is difficult to mobilize a large army. I therefore wish to ask Master Lin to go and stop Song Que. That would resolve Dali's crisis."
"While Dali stands, it can not only help us hold back Southern Yue's Song Clan, but also keep Great Song, Tubo, and others in check. It has some influence on Great Sui as well. We cannot afford to lose it."
