"I'm not planning to micromanage everything on this trip. I just want to take in the sights. I'll leave the details to my grandson."
"I understand." Chi Hou nodded.
As the leader of the Northern Region, he could read between the lines. The fact that someone as respected as him was letting someone else take care of the details...
That said a lot.
As to why Yan Qianli had decided to go to the capital...
It was to assert dominance.
He wanted to help cement the position of the next leader of Western Liang.
He couldn't do so if he was in Western Liang. He had to do it in the capital. Chi Hou was certain that the heir to that position would be confirmed after this trip.
However...
Only Yan Qianli had the answer to why he would follow Yan Xiu all the way to the Northern Mountain Village before going to the capital.
