Ji Chengtian was furious. Before, he had only allowed Gu Yong to take a hundred men to do some reconnaissance because he didn't want to suffer too many casualties without clear information. After all, the whereabouts of Deng Hong and Meng Ping, who led around a thousand men, were still unknown, as were the fates of Wan Hao and the fifty men he took with him! These men were the cream of the crop, and now all of them had run into trouble; how could he not be worried?
But who could have known that Liu Yue would act so impulsively, taking out his entire troop of around a thousand men! Had he ever considered the consequences of such actions?
The person delivering the report was scolded by Ji Chengtian, feeling rather bitter, then asked, "So what do we do now? Should we go after them?"
Ji Chengtian hesitated briefly before saying, "We'll follow them from a distance, to see what's really going on. With the situation unclear, let's not get too close."
