"Speak, you have only one chance."
The assassin's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his face as pale as paper, and his voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
"It was... it was the Marquis Champion who sent us to kill... kill the King of Canzhou."
"What?"
Hua Tianyou suddenly leaned towards the assassin, a trace of shock and anger flashing in his eyes.
"How could it be him?"
The old lady couldn't help but exclaim, the Buddha Beads in her hand dropping to the ground with a "pa."
"Who is the Marquis Champion?"
Han Lei was completely puzzled, turning her head to look at Hua Tianyou for answers.
Hua Tianyou took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart, then solemnly said, "The Marquis Champion is the Empress's brother, a man of immense power, untouchable in the court."
Saying this, Hua Tianyou glanced at the two swords and knives discarded in the corner, and the question pressed in his heart finally had an answer.
