45 The real Zhenya (1/2)
The Bai Kingdom was a very small kingdom. It was so small, that when you considered the whole world, it wasn't even something worth mentioning.
After all, before the Bai Kingdom was built the whole land was filled with native tribes who were all killed or subdued and then a Kingdom was built.
So, it was quite understandable why the Bai Kingdom wouldn't be considered as strong by even the neighbouring kingdoms.
However, despite the kingdom being a new and budding one, it was blessed with an abundance of natural resources, and many capable and talented individuals who were able to cultivate and become strong enough causing it to enjoy a period of peace.
But, there was in fact no guarantee about what would happen if the news of the king dying, and the various prince's fighting each other reached the neighbouring kingdoms.
Bai Long, however, wanted this very thing to happen.
When news of a kingdom being immersed in a civil war was spread, every neighbouring kingdom would want to invade it and take a piece of the huge juicy meat.
Thus, they would all send out their own armies to fight the diminishing kingdom and loot it until they were satisfied.
However, at the same time all of them would need to protect themselves from am attack of any of the neighbouring kingdoms, due to which they couldn't send their whole army, and just a part of it.
Therefore, when the neighbouring kingdoms each sent a small part of their army under the impression that the Bai Kingdom was weakened and divided, when in fact it was at full strength, it was understandable about what would happen, right?
Sure, the Bai Kingdom would suffer quite a loss to defeat the various armies attacking it.
But Bai Long wouldn't care about it much since the Bai Kingdom was just a stepping stone, and killing enemy soldiers would be considered as an evil dead and support the growth of his Constitution a lot.
That's why, Bai Long was already using Linxin's and Cao Ning's influence to spread rumours about the possibility of the Bai Kingdom collapsing from internal strife anytime soon.
And these fake rumours had already made their way into the ears of the top brass who govern the neighbouring kingdoms.
...
Not wanting to delay his plan to turn Sun Hai into his Yin Puppet any longer, Bai Long set out with the disguised Linxin and Cao Ning.
Unlike the previous days, Bai Long didn't wait for Zhenya to proceed with her shopping in the evening and waited for her.
Instead, he directly went to her house.
Upon entering her house, Bai Long could see that the one who was discretely watching over the house leave. Most likely to inform Sun Hai about him.
Noticing this Bai Long felt lucky that he wouldn't have to find a way to notify Sun Hai of his presence inside Zhenya's house.
Smiling at how everything was happening the way he wanted them to, Bai Long opened the door and entered.
