INSIDE the study of the Emperor of Xing, a certain conversation was happening. The youngest general of the country - Zhang Lei Feng - was kneeling in front of the Emperor. He just came back after more than a week of travel, the first thing he did was to report at the Imperial Palace.
"You may rise," the Emperor said. The young general stood up. "How come you return so early? Did Lord Blackbourne already find the location he's looking for?"
The two pretended that the Emperor still didn't know about Argent's departure. The moment he returned to the Zhang household, Lei Feng knew that someone would report to the Emperor and also tell him that he returned alone.
