“I’ets delayed by a few ht not even be alive”
“Why? Are you referring to the Golden Roc assasins? Don’t worry, the Dragon King has prepared for the and the princess of the Stone Kingdom was meant to stabilize the relationshi+p between the Great Snow Mountain and the five nations of Xiaoyao Lake As such, Zhong Heng had already predicted Shangguan Jianyi would naturally try to disrupt it
“The Golden Roc assasins are nothing,” replied Xu Yanwei, as she twisted her mouth with disdain, as if she had stopped countless of assassinations before “I’’s side”
“So about? Is it Fang Wenshi+? What will he dare to do to the Princess? I bet he isn’t even capable such a thing”
“Sigh You’re such a intelligent person, but today, you turn out to be as du scowled This was one of the reasons why he tried to hide from Xu Yanwei; the woht district of Pleasure Alley and was frequently insurbodinate Luckily, there was no one else around them, otherwise the Prime Minister would have lost face
“Speak clearly,” he said”I have s yet to be done”
Xu Yanwei had not wished to divulge her secret originally, but men were always too insensitive about such ht about were how to kill hundreds or thousands more people, but they overlooked those closest to theon King “Maid Lotus,” she said
Once the tords left her lips, Xu Yanwei began looking around nervously She bore utoodwill toward the all of the wo, with the exception of Maid Lotus A few years ago, when the Dragon King was still known as Slave Huan, she already had the feeling that there was so off about Maid Lotus; no et close to and was even slightly afraid, of her
After the Dragon King cadom, the tomen met each other only on a few rare occassions Yet soer It was nearly on the sa
“Maid Lotus? She’s not with the Dragon King now Most likely she’s on aHe was even uard of the Dragon King possessfu, her loyalty was self-evident The fact that the Dragon King entrusted his personal safety to her, spoke voluather the disciples of the New Moon Hall, and no one else besides Gu Shenwei knew about her whereabouts
“I know she’s not around It’s the reason why I suggested the wedding be brought forward If we delay it until her return, I fear that not only would the wedding be disrupted, so to say that Maid Lotus would be jealous? Impossible, she’s a killer That’s i replied while repeatedly shaking his head He was even more distrustful of Xu Yanwei’s words now
Xu Yanas growing anxious and spilled out the secret she had kept well hidden until thiscame to ask for the hand of the princess, Maid Lotus sent someone to assassinate her If it wasn’t for ot a shock He knew a little about that incident and recalled that the assassin see around “Don’t you spout nonsense The Dragon King trusts Maid Lotus veryhis life to her”
Xu Yanwei sta tried to assassinate the Princess, and it was her own interference, nearly at the cost of her own life, that saved the princess
Tie Linglong had not revealed anything after being captured, but Xu Yanwei could deduce the entire plot Matters that could not be understood by men, were very clear to her
“It’s up to you to believeto go se it while you still have ti Heng was full of doubts as he left the city and returned to the barracks The an to believe what Xu Yanwei told hi to his aranted that he did not care for wo had also clearly proved that he possessed extreon King offered a execute the had always disregarded ruuan Ru He had even considered that it was proof of h restraint to put aside sieance
On his way back, he kept thinking about Xu Yanwei’s warning and when he saw the Dragon King’s face, Zhong Heng suddenly realized histo face the Pri ais proceeding sh trouble for now Shangguan Jianyi has not left the Stone Kingdoain?” Zhong Heng asked as he tensed up He began to regret having brought so few guards when he entered the city just now
“No, I’ would not
Most of the spies hiding in the barracks had already been publicly executed, only a few of thereat deal of information to their captors
A blade in their confessions, but there was no sign of hist the captive spies Gu Shenwei supposed that this person was Shangguan Jianyi, who had changed his nauan Jianyi personally planned and given instructions for a string of rebellious incitements and assassinations, he was particularly interested in the background of each individual troop of Gu Shenwei’s arrance He had even a personal chat with a few of the soldiers within it
“Shangguan Jianyi will not leave He feels that there the fighting spirit ofThat he doesn’t even need to involve his strong, 50,000 man army; he believes that all he has to do is to sow discord from within to make it splinter apart into separate factions He’s not lacking in un, he’ll strike again very soon”
Money creates greed and killers bring out fear in people These two factors could greatly accelerate the division and betrayal of soldiers from the different factions within Gu Shenwei’s ar He felt that the Dragon King’s analysis was very logical and therefore took the opportunity towith the princess is in danger, Dragon King Shangguan Jianyi will definitely not wish to see the Stone Kingdoe alliance Why don’t we… conduct the wedding toaze across Zhong Heng’s face before lowering it to continue observing the map “It’s not your habit to come up with reasons at the very lastknew that he could not keep thewas extreood intentions and polite words

Gu Shenwei lifted his head again, a cold glint in his eyes Zhong Heng hurriedly stopped hi with the people beside me,” replied Gu Shenwei He did not wish to share certain types of infor date, I leave it up to you”
Zhong Heng felt relieved and decided to bring the wedding forward; he was also a little uneasy and anxious when he thought about Maid Lotus
