"Who is Kulcha Irgi?"
"My Uncle. His blood is purer than my father's. My father was born to a concubine, but he was born to the Lady of the House." Helian Zheng continued explaining. "But he has never complained and has always been loyal to my father. Father King has always felt that he has owed something to his brother, so when he was titled Shunyi King by the Imperial Court, he passed the Patriarch position to uncle. Uncle now controls twenty thousand Golden Lion warriors and in the Irgi Family is second in power only to Father King."
"What power do you have?"
"Many of Irgi's best Golden Lion Camp warriors died against Da Yue, and we have less than twenty thousand soldiers in the King's Army. White Deer and Blue Bird both have ten thousand warriors. We cannot afford internal conflict or else Irgi will fail; White Deer and Blue Bird will remain neutral in an Irgi internal war so my twenty thousand will go against uncle's twenty thousand."
