At this, Elder Master Xiao's voice grew grave. "Since you know it was him, you must also be clear on why he came to our Xiao Family."
Chen Yi nodded slightly, his eyes on the darkening sky as he spoke softly.
"He came to Shu State for me, but I am only one of his targets."
"Besides me, he also needs to bring the Barbarian Prince, Asutai, back to the Ancient Tea-Horse Road."
"I suspect someone from the Barbarian Race went to the Ancient Tea-Horse Road to pressure King Landu, which is why he dispatched Du Cang."
"I just didn't expect him to make a move against the Xiao Family."
Elder Master Xiao and Xiao Jing exchanged a confused look.
"How do you know all this?"
"And is the Barbarian Prince truly in Shu State? I had previously assumed that was just a rumor deliberately spread by the city's grain merchants."
"It's a long story. I will explain it to you later, Marquis."
Chen Yi paused. His gaze fell upon Elder Master Xiao, and he continued in a tone that brooked no argument.
