Wen Zhixing's defection to Xiliang sent massive shockwaves through Beihan. However, those who knew him weren't particularly surprised; they felt it was only natural.
The main reason was the stark contrast. Wen Zhixing had previously been an absolute hardliner, yet now he had surrendered just like that.
And then, he had even taken command of a hundred-thousand-strong army to turn around and intimidate Beihan.
He even flew the banner that Beihan had lost its way, forcing him to take such actions.
It was all for the sake of the common people.
At first, people certainly cursed his name.
But soon, public opinion was guided in a new direction.
It made the people stop and think. It seemed that ever since they went from being subjects of the Jade Dragon Dynasty to citizens of the Beihan Kingdom, their lives had gotten worse day by day.
Now, they were on the brink of starvation. And so, they began to ignore Wen Zhixing's defection, especially since he had come bearing grain.
