Qi Haoran was just speaking of Chen Jiacai with Fan Zijin when they received an invitation from the stockade. This time, they were going to have fun on the surface, but there were actually many things to discuss. Only by knowing one's enemy could one be at an advantageous position. Hence, Qi Haoran had already gotten someone to check on the situation of the stockade.
Because Ji'an's Miao stockade was in Ju Prefecture, it received the most attention from Qi Haoran. Among them, the person who received the most attention from Qi Haoran was Chen Jiacai.
Chen Jiacai was a Han Chinese, but he had grown up in the Miao stockade. Now, he had even married Ji'an's eldest daughter, Hanlan. Ji'an trusted him very much and was even more willing to entrust him with some matters than his son, Ji'an Yong. It could be seen how much faith he had in Chen Jiacai.
