Xu Qing could only express his gratitude.
Wu Xun'an then discussed some official business, mainly about taxation and bandit suppression. These matters had also been mentioned by Academician Zhou, evidently, there was an agreement between both parties.
This issue would have to wait until after the spring to act, so there was no need to rush at the moment.

For nearly two months, the main task was to spread rumors to test the reactions of all parties, so as to counter moves with moves accordingly.
Privately, Wu Xun'an treated Xu Qing as always, without putting on airs.
