"Lu Hai!"
Wang Yang remembered this name; it was inseparable from Wu Mo's death all those years ago.
"You already had the silk; why massacre the village?"
"Afraid the news would leak, as this matter is of great importance. Orders from above stated no one could be left alive. We were just following commands."
It seemed that the Zhangsun lineage feared that news would reach that Prince, especially since a year ago, Dali Temple and the Shadow Tiger Master were slain within Ice Cold City.
Even Noble Consort Yang, it was said, barely managed to return to the capital city of Luoyang alive.
This indicated that the once-reclusive prince was now taking action. Although only Ice Cold City was Guardian Sun King's fief, everyone in the know was aware that if Wang Siyun wished, all the Northern Territories would instantly fall under his control.
Thus, the Zhangsun lineage had to act more discreetly. Should they be discovered, they were as good as dead.
