He still didn't know who placed the note in his room, but someone who could silently place it there just before his return must be very close by.
I heard that General Yuan commanded the secret division of the Zhao Family Army, with his spies present in every corner of the world.
If Yu Hong makes a move to kill Yuan Li and Xun Fan, the hidden guard in the Governor Mansion would surely notice the anomaly, and by then, no member of the Yu Family would escape.
He was a servant, as were his two sons. If the masters committed such a grave crime, they would likely be implicated and beheaded as well.
So, to survive, he could only betray Yu Hong.
Yuan Li pulled him up from the ground, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Don't take it to heart, this isn't betrayal. You must be a person first, only then a servant."
He said, "You are a Jin person; first, do not betray the country, do not betray the Great General, then you yourself, and then your master."
