While everyone's attention was over at the Pyro Company's Sacred Mountains, Wang Shengzhi suddenly took a small group of his people and traveled to the Northwest to hold a brief, secret meeting with Zhang Jinglin in the wilderness.
Wang Shengzhi clearly placed great importance on this meeting. If not, he would not have come all the way to the Northwest under such secrecy.
Faced with Wang Shengzhi's question, Zhang Jinglin just smiled and said, "You're thinking too much. We're only seeking mutual trade benefits with the Qing Consortium. We've never thought about guarding against anyone before."
"I'm relieved then," Wang Shengzhi said with a smile.
When the two of them entered the temporary military camp, Wang Shengzhi looked at the young officer who was protecting Zhang Jinglin from a distance and said with a smile, "You're Xu Xianchu, aren't you? I've heard about you; you're very impressive."
