Song Lianhe slowly raised her eyes to look at the man before her.
Zhou Cangyan looked back at her. He was as composed as a great Buddha statue enshrined on an altar. His placid gaze was as tranquil as still water, yet it seemed to encompass everything.
"…You came to Li Zong Pass this time to find Governor E, didn't you? Or… is it related… related to his murder?"
Zhou Cangyan's lips quirked into a faint smile. "What, you suspect I killed him? What good would killing him do me? To take Li Zong Pass?"
Song Lianhe had, at the very least, received a compulsory education, so of course she knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Never mind that the Court would dispatch a Supervisor to monitor the every move of the city's commanding general and his subordinates, reporting directly to the Emperor. The annual supply of grain and medicine couldn't be cut off either!
