"Master Li, you know my habits," King Cang emerged from the inner room, seemingly just after Princess Chen Xi had fallen asleep; his tone was low and angry.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. The Left Envoy of the Disaster Church was found dead outside the palace walls. Fortunately, your servant arrived in time to save him."
King Cang, following what Master Li had said, looked towards Lu Hong. "Is it you? Tell me, why did the Disaster Church send the Left Envoy to kill you?"
"I am Lu Hong, at your service, Your Majesty," Lu Hong bowed deeply. Master Li was about to pull Lu Hong down to kneel, but King Cang slightly moved his fingers, not particularly minding Lu Hong's disrespect. "Speak. Here with me, no one can kill you."
"Yes." Lu Hong continued, "I killed a group of bandits in Rocky Mountain outside Qingxiao City. From the bandit leader, I learned a huge secret."
