The father and son of Hong Ju's surrender was anticipated by Hou Yuxiao, yet the process being so smooth still caught him off guard.
Before coming to Nanjiang, his reputation from his encounters with Fahai had already spread across The World, not to mention after arriving in Nanjiang, where he faced Ziquan, Qing Xuan, and even Duanmu Hong. Coupled with conquering Qingmiao City, these glorious achievements are evident, as long as Hong Ju isn't foolish, he won't cause trouble.
The surrender of Hong Ju and his son means the control of Hexi over Nanjiang will face no further obstacles, and the promulgation of new policies can commence logically. Plans to dissolve the identification with the Nanjiang Miao descendants are also being implemented step by step.
