Huo Jin got the message from Wang Hao that he would not be home at night. He folded the paper and put it inside his pocket.
'I should have volunteered to go to Changying. Let General Wang return and then I will leave for Changying,' Huo Jin decided in his mind. He told Wang Hao's message to Wang Fuxing first and then Bai Yaling.
"That was sudden," Bai Yaling said with a worried expression.
"General Wang has gone to escort the Emperor safely out of the border. Sister Bai, not many know about this. The matter in Changying is worrisome," Huo Jin asserted.
Bai Yaling nodded. "Why did General Wang not accompany the Emperor?" She asked him.
"Because a General is needed in the Capital too," Huo Jin replied. "General Wang will return by the morning," he stated. Bai Yaling nodded and told Huo Jin to go to the Palace once.
"Not now, but tomorrow morning. Brother Huo, meet Sister Lili on my behalf," Bai Yaling requested to him.
