"It will take the militia at least an hour to arrive. Stop lying." The assassins did not buy her story.

"Not if they were already waiting nearby." Wang Jingyuan lied through her teeth. "Why did you think there were only ten militiamen accompanying us? Because we knew you all would make another move, so rather than hunt you down, we let you come to us. And you did."
