Pei Xuanjing was very clear about this, although they had secretly allied together, they did not reveal all their alliances at once, but instead took some actions at the right time, which confused many people.
At least, the royal family of the Great Ming is temporarily baffled by them.
"I just don't know if those people will be scared off?" said Daoist Xuanming.
By "those people," he meant the leaders of the various major forces. Those people, upon seeing Pei Xuanjing tearing apart the protection of interests regarded as taboo by the royal family in such a domineering manner, would certainly rush up like wolves smelling meat and subsequently plunder their benefits.
And the reason why Zhu Yousong finally invited Qingxu was not only to counterbalance Pei Xuanjing, but also to deter those people, to make them give up any improper ideas.
Pei Xuanjing sneered: "Those people will not give up so easily. Once ambition is aroused, it's not easy to suppress."
