"General Lu, the palace grounds are protected by the Right Chief Minister, and should thus be safe." Meng Qi spoke sternly.
Lu Guan nodded gently and said, "The Right Chief Minister will definitely accompany us in our search for Jiang Clan's young lad. You don't need to wait here. You may do as you please."
Meng Qi intentionally dropped his pitch to a gravelly tone and said, "General Lu, the hoodwinking in the peace negotiations is a serious matter. I would like to inform the four Imperial Princes about it so that they may plan their next steps."
Lu Guan paused for a moment, appearing to be lost in thought. Then he said, "Go ahead."
