Two garrison soldiers whispered to each other as they walked away.
"Eldest Son, are we just going to leave like this? Shouldn't we ask some more questions?"
"What do you want to ask? That's Mr. Li, the Academic Palace Top Scholar, who might even become Prince Consort in the future."
"But the one who found the crime evidence and indirectly forced Prince Changxiang to his death was him..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die? If the Saint has no objections, why should a foot soldier like you stir up trouble? Besides, haven't you heard? Last night's assassin withstood a full set of the Moon Flow Sword and was completely unscathed; he must be at least a Half-step Master."
"Half-step Martial Arts Master... Could it be hired by Jin Wusuan? Doesn't seem likely, though. The escort team hasn't even left the Central Plains yet, and they were ambushed just outside Chang'an City. This is a blatant contempt of the court, a death sentence. Manager Jin wouldn't be that foolish."
