That night, many generals and officials in Yun City learned of Yan Heng's assassination.
Most officials were indifferent to it, as they didn't have close ties with Yan Heng. However, they felt that Gou Xi was ruthless and unkind for killing an old strategist who had advised him for fifteen years in a fit of anger.
As for the generals, they felt a sense of mourning, akin to the sorrow of a fox losing its rabbit companion. Many of the generals in Yun City were under Gou Xi's command and had much closer relationships with Yan Heng.
The Great General's temper was not good, and Yan Heng's temper wasn't great either, but he would always speak on behalf of the generals when the Great General got angry or attract the General's wrath onto himself.
Many, like General Pei, had good relationships with Yan Heng.
They couldn't understand why the Great General would kill Yan Heng, one of his most important strategists, just because he advised the General?
