“Yes,” answered Qin Jin “The fifth and sixth prince of Prince Kang are good-for-nothings, while the re was assassinated last night!”
“He doesn't hold any official positions, right?” Chu Li frowned

“Any other developments?” Chu Li asked

Yang Zongwen responded
Dong Qifei, together with Qin Jin and the others, returned to the martial arts field
Yang Zongwen followed Chu Li to the hall and reported, “Centurion, this is about the fifth prince of Prince Kang, right?”
“What's going on?” Chu Li sat on an armchair and asked
Yang Zongwen shook his head “A very professional and clean assassination One critical hit using a long narroord A peculiar piece of weaponry that doesn't belong to any faction in the martial arts world, so we are at a loss Moreover, this happened late in the night, so there weren't any passersby Prince Jiang and his entourage were slaughtered, as well as their horses Not one living creature was left behind”

“He's still the second in cowen said helplessly “The House is ruled militarily”
Chu Li snorted “Where is he now?”
“He went out for a walk His connections are vast,” Yang Zongwen continued “He too does not wish to remain here, nobody is nice to him”
Chu Li slowly nodded “Helpfrom the Verdant Cloud Brothel, but don't let anyone know Do it in secret”
“Miss Yu Qing?” Yang Zongwen quickly nodded “Yes, I will do it immediately”
Chu Li added, “Right About this assassination case, we shouldn't involve ourselves in it!”
