"The Crown Prince previously sent the Zhang Li brothers to assassinate you, but they failed. They fled in fear of punishment, and the Crown Prince has since had their families completely wiped out. He sent me here this time with two goals: to assassinate you, and to track down the Zhang Li brothers so they could also be eliminated."
"Why didn't the Crown Prince simply order you to attack the Prince's Mansion and kill me directly?"
"The Crown Prince told me that you, the Prince of Shicheng, are protected by someone highly skilled—it seems that eunuch, Eunuch Chen Jing, has a very high level of martial cultivation. I waited in New Tieshi City for half a month but could hardly find any trace of your movements. The only two times I caught a glimpse of you, Eunuch Chen Jing was by your side, making it impossible to strike. That is why I never had the opportunity to assassinate you."
