Does it matter if it's fake?
What if I leave the "target" and go after the assassin on my own.
In the end, getting hit by the opponent's sword on the return would result in this "target" being killed... Whose fault is the mission failure, and will there be any reward?
Does Pei Zixing's promise still count?
That's where the problem lies.
The real Lord Prefecture is already dead, played himself into a corner.
The other side can say that the two from Primordial Martial Arts Hall did nothing and just took up roles without doing any work.
Thus, no reward afterward...
This reasoning is quite plausible.
They won't care if a fundamental mistake was due to their own planning.
Can't just snatch the reward by force in the end.
Don't mention whether it's possible to snatch it, without legitimacy, many things would become impossible.
For instance, without backing, you claim to be the Xuanwu Guard Captain, who would believe it?
