When Prince Yan Huisheng of Daliang received the hawk messenger from Su Rong, it was the day of peace negotiations with Dawei. The hawk circled and landed at the negotiation site, directly perching on Yan Huisheng's shoulder.
Yuan Zhao immediately stared at the hawk, his eyes sharp.
The hawk flinched at his gaze, immediately turning its head and hiding behind Yan Huisheng. Yan Huisheng looked over his shoulder at Yuan Zhao, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Why is Prince Yuan scaring it? It's just a small hawk. Do you bear a grudge against it too?"
Yuan Zhao had a suspicion that the presence of the hawk at this point was probably not for the best. He stared at Yan Huisheng, "If my guess is correct, is this hawk raised by the Princess of Nanchu, Su Rong?"
He did not mention a grudge, but the implication was clear.
