Bab 431: Something Cropped Up

Shangguan Jianyi was like a slippery fish, circling the bait on the hook, but refusing to bite.

The first batch of victims of assassination were not Dugu Xian or the Princess but three high-ranking military officers from Xiaoyao Lake. Just a few days ago, these people were still helping him to harbor a spy, but now they were dead.

The assassination took place before midnight, and just as the chaos was contained after much effort, another two soldiers from the Land of Fragrance were killed.

The Dragon King sent people to remove the dead bodies on the scene, but did not go there personally.
