Minmin's pallid face bore no joy or sorrow as her gloomy gaze intently fixed on Lu Han asked, "When will those people die?"
Qin Ruan relayed her question to Lu Han.
Lu Han pursed his lips, his voice grave as he said, "By the time this battle is over."
In a cold voice, Minmin asked, "When will it end?"
Qin Ruan conveyed her question to Lu Han, who merely shook his head in response and fell silent.
Minmin was confused, but Qin Ruan had some understanding.
She leaned against the interrogation table, pressing her forehead, "Minmin, Nanying has a major market for poisons. For some elements in Nanying, this is at the root of their burgeoning menace.
Their audacity is reinforced by the local nobility. In addition to this, Nanying's strategic geographical position plays a large role. Surrounding major powers perceive it as a critically important trade route.
This is a tug-of-war, with many factors to be taken into account. It is not a battle that can be resolved quickly."
