Everyone thought everything seemed normal except Zhong Heng.
The Dragon King was most sensitive when it came to identifying the killers of Fort Jin Peng but failed at that time to recognize the two men that disguised themselves as servants inspite of guessing Shangguan Jianyi's target of assassination to be the two Queens. There was a lot of contradiction in this.
Lin Xiaoyu was loyal but his martial arts were not outstanding in the Dragon army and was far from the battle-hardened Long Fanyun. He had blown his cover inorder to protect Jiang, an act not usual of the Dragon King.
Finally, Jiang had been killed, and indeed the Dragon King had reaped much benefit. He gave deceased Jiang a title to satisfy the grief and vanity of the swordsmen from the Great Snowmountains, making more with this even, their hatred for Fort Jin Peng while at the same time not offending the generals and civilians of the Xiaoyao Sea.
