Zhou Honghai reported the events of the previous night, explaining that someone had assisted the scholars at the academy, leading to the failure of their plan. Hearing this, Zhou Honghai was furious, "Who would dare?"
"Your Excellency, I'm not sure. We were exposed while the enemy was hidden and I couldn't see who they were," responded Zhou Honghai.
"Aren't you usually boasting about being the best fighter in Fuku County? Even with more than ten men, only three returned completely submissive. What's the use of me keeping you around? Send someone to investigate immediately, I want those people found!"
After speaking, Qin Kun felt a little uneasy.
