Borrowing an Army

Gu Shenwei was full of doubts but he could only work through them one by one.

The two sides had already agreed to a ceasefire by the time Shangguan Ru and others came back. As soon as he could, Gu Shenwei summoned Silver Condor to talk to him privately. Because of the 'decree of Heaven' from the Great Shaman, the head in his hand was becoming more and more important.

As a sign of trust, Gu Shenwei gave the last remaining Indra Fragrance antidote to the other side first.

Silver Condor accepted the pill but didn't take it straight away. "When I entered the tent, the five maids were still alive, and said something strange, but it didn't matter. Their smiles… were just like that of the disciple from the Waning Moon Hall."

The five slave girls of the Khan had been trained by Han Fen, so they were bound to take on some of her habits. Silver Condor, therefore, was sure that the murderer was not the Dragon King.
