Shangguan Hong didn't expect that he would be summoned by the Dragon King. He merely received some orders from Queen Ju to come here and deliver some items that might prove to be useful to the Dragon King in winter. He had thought that this task would be very simple. Back when he was in the Royal Court, he had never received such treatment.
He still remembered that he had once gone to Heaven's Pass and attempted to convince Shang Liao to switch sides and work for Queen Ju. That was a humiliating failure. Maybe the General of the Right, Shang Liao had told the Dragon King everything, he thought. He was worried and was still wavering over whether he should confess that he had worked for Queen Ju.
"I hate all the members of the Shangguan family." Shangguan Hong had come up with a set of phrases to distract other people away from his relationship working for Queen, but he didn't have the chance to use any of them.
