Li Mingjue didn't want her to worry, so he downplayed it and said, "A few bandits have caused a disturbance in the capital city, and the Emperor has instructed the Great General and me to return for a while."
Standing to the side, Cailin had been giving orders to the Vice General with a solemn face but had pricked up his ears early on.
Upon hearing Li Mingjue's words, he almost couldn't maintain his composure.
Was it just a few bandits?
Those were the fearsome forces of Heifeng Hall!
Qi Yu knew he hadn't told her the truth and, holding onto his arm, she insisted, "You must take me with you!"
"No," Li Mingjue rejected the idea without a second thought.
Suppressing bandits was no trivial matter; the men of Heifeng Hall were not to be trifled with. If anything were to happen to Qi Yu, what would he do?
