"The Hui Provincial Governor and the Military Governor of the Imperial Capital could be considered important figures in the imperial court. How can they be so easily assassinated by the White Lotus Society? I think even in the southern parts like Yue Province, they can rarely take out anyone above the prefectural governor level," Yan Liqiang asked in surprise.
The other reason behind Yan Liqiang coming to the Imperial Capital alone was because he felt that the Imperial Capital was like the eye of a storm right now. It was much more convenient for him to move alone and keep a low profile. All this while when he traveled, no one expected the mighty Qiyun Protectorate General to be traveling alone. Had he brought more people with him, it'd be more difficult if they ran into anything.
Although Yan Liqiang had made some mental preparations on the current situation in the Imperial Capital, the horrible situation in the capital regions was still beyond his expectations.
