King Liang and Liu Yao also rushed over upon hearing the news, looking astonished: "How could such a thing happen? Where are the guards outside?"

Soon someone finished examining him and came to answer: "He's already dead. He must have been poisoned. It looks like he was ambushed by a tiny blowgun."

Huang Huihong's eyes narrowed, and he looked coldly at Prince Liang: "Your Highness, this matter requires an explanation."

Among the dead were two of his embroidered-robe envoys. He and his men had just been transferred away under some pretext, but he was still cautious and deliberately left two subordinates here. He originally thought that with the Imperial Guards guarding the outside, leaving two brothers here to watch over things would be fine, but who knew that such a change would happen.

King Liang looked puzzled: "What explanation?"

"You were the one who sent people to call us over to discuss military matters," Huang Huihong said in a deep voice.

King Liang snorted: "Commander Huang, you should have a conscience when you say that. When did I send someone to call you? I have been patrolling the area to check for security issues. Many people can testify to that. You left your post without authorization and something happened. You can't put the blame on me."

At this moment, Liu Yao, who was standing by, acted as a peacemaker: "Oh dear, we're all on the same side. Nobody wanted this to happen. The most urgent thing now is to investigate whether there are any remaining accomplices, rather than causing infighting that would make our friends suffer and our enemies rejoice."

Huang Huihong's sharp eyes searched the entire area, but he couldn't find the person who had just given the order. He probably wouldn't see him again.

Although he knew the other party was most likely a subordinate of the King of Liang, he had no evidence and could only silently suffer this injustice.

Sang Hong witnessed all of this, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Next, Huang Huihong personally led a group to take statements from several people, asking them for specific details of what had just happened.

Apart from Sang Qian's existence, none of them concealed anything.

After the others left, Sang Hong nodded to Zu An and said, "Thanks!"

Zuan smiled slightly: "I have a natural affinity for beautiful women, so naturally I don't want her to be hunted down."

Sang Qian snorted: "Don't you dare make a move on my sister. But even if you do, it's just wishful thinking. My sister is beautiful and resourceful. There are countless young men in the capital who are much better off than you pursuing her, but she doesn't even look at them."

Zuan's expression was a bit strange: "Originally I didn't have any ideas, but what you said has piqued my interest. Wouldn't it be very satisfying to win over your sister?"

"You!" Sang Qian roared in anger.

Anger from Sang Qian +515!

Sang Hong, standing to the side, couldn't help but shake his head; these two were truly born to clash.

However, he didn't care about any of that. Instead, he took advantage of Huang Huihong's entrance and said, "Commander Huang, I have something I'd like to say to you privately."
