Shang Liao,the new Right General, had promised Dragon King that he would repel the enemy from Xiaoyao Lake within half a month. However, he did not seem anxious. In the first few days after he was appointed as Right General, he did not even come to check on his naval forces. Instead, he selected a batch of craftsmen and commanded these craftsmen to forge weapons in secret.
This was one way to put it; another way was that he set up a shrine secretly, intending to invite the immortals to come down to earth to help him. What is more, a malicious speculation would be that the Right General was wasting half a month of the Dragon Army's time so that the Golden Rock Army could build a bridge calmly.
Gu Shenwei could not ignore these rumors. He pretended to trust the King of the Kang nation Shang Liao on the surface, but in private he had kept a close eye on him.
