Confession

Many people participated in this meeting. The Dragon King, the Unique King, the Prince Regent of the Shule Kingdom, and Wei Song represented four armies. Each of them had brought two attendants. The team of the Central Plains envoy had also sent two people here – a deputy envoy and an attendant.

The deputy envoy's name was Sun Chengqi. He was an amiable official, but on this occasion, there was a look of anger tinged with grief upon his face. He was a representative of the deceased Ma Lian and he was here to demand an explanation.

Sun Chengqi and Zhong Heng had secretly reached a preliminary agreement, but he pretended to not know the Dragon King. He slightly nodded at the Dragon King just like he had done to the other Western Regioners.

Nobody had introduced the attendant of the deputy envoy. His face was strange to Gu Shenwei, so Gu Shenwei knew he was Zhang You, the eunuch Zhang You that had once been mentioned to him.
