"Your Highness, I have thoroughly investigated this matter. It seems that the assassin is related to the Marquis of Xi Lin."
East Emperor Taiyi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? The Marquis of Xi Lin? That one who formerly held land in the west, was defeated by Zhou Country, and fled with his family to the Royal Palace?"
"Yes!"
"If you don't use your brain, you might as well exchange it with a dog's."
East Emperor Taiyi's lips twitched slightly:
"The Marquis of Xi Lin is penniless, can he afford to maintain assassins?
"What was his aim in having assassins lurk in the Royal Palace for three years? Could he have known long ago that this Ji Dan would be dispatched here and take residence near the Royal Palace?"
East Emperor Taiyi snorted:
"Every country's hostages have designated residences. If he wanted to assassinate the hostage sent by the Marquis of Xibo, wouldn't it be easier to send people directly to those inns?"
