"It seems they're determined to force the master into dealing with these bandits this time," Ling Feng said in a deep voice.

"Leng Zhuo boldly took the fight to the bandits this time. His fate is certain to be fraught with danger. If the Great Prince encounters danger in Yu State, the master will have to wade into this mess. After all, if the Great Prince were to die in Yu State, and the master didn't do anything or even attempted a rescue, I fear there would immediately be calls of impeachment against the master in the Imperial Court. Some might even accuse him of intentionally killing the Great Prince."
