The Dark Guard Team captain Yan Si came to receive his orders first.
He was a handsome youth, dressed in black, with a complexion as fair as jade, not at all resembling a member of the Hidden Guard, but rather a rich noble's son.
He Ying instructed, "You take your men to Xiquan Pier to investigate the whereabouts of He Hongzhao."
He had previously entrusted this matter to the people led by Lu Zijin, but since Lu Zijin had gone to Beiqi to deliver a message, and since the overt Guard Team was not advantageous in searching for people, he wanted to try the Dark Guard Team.
The selection and training for the Dark Guard Team were even more ruthless; they did not act by the book but aimed for rapid achievement of their objectives.
"Yes."
Yan Si took the order and left.
Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Liang came in together.
They had preliminary diagnostic results.
