There were several reasons he had made things difficult for An Jing, Jin Yanhua, and the others; injuring the dragon guards under his command was the most insignificant of them. One of the truly important reasons was that another faction had commissioned him to gather information on An Jing, Jin Yanhua, and the rest.
