Co-conspirator?

The King was appalled by this information and doubted it at first. But then after thinking over it he realized that there literally was no reason for Shirong to fabricate this information.

If Shirong really wanted to go against the Ling kingdom, there were many easier ways to do it rather than this. He looked at his remaining ministers who were still sitting in the hall showing anxious expressions.

"I see… we'll look into it right away." King Huo said.

"Actually King Huo, you won't have to look far. I believe one of the co-conspirators should be right here." Shirong said with a toothy smile.

Beads of sweat dripped down Du Yang's forehead as his hands trembled. King Huo gritted his teeth and looked around the hall once again. But right now nearly every minister was in a similar condition to that of Du Yang, making it hard for him to assume.

"Do you want me to tell you who that person is?" Shirong teased.
