"You retreated, leaving Hai Tao and Lu Ding behind." The family head got worried.
He glanced over at Master See.
Master See stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed, "The Hulu Tribe soldiers were upon us. My orders from the Concubine were to get young master Ye Sheng back to safety if it was too dangerous."
"Thank you, Master See." The family head bowed back, but he gave out a silent sigh.
Things might get messy if the Emperor wanted to punish Ye Sheng for retreating.
He could only pray that isn't so.
The family head's prayers were heard immediately as the servants announced the arrival of the chief eunuch.
"The chief eunuch requests a meeting." One of the servants came running and shouted.
"Invite him inside, quick. Get a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, hurry." The family head instructed the servants to welcome the chief eunuch for the meal.
They ran around like headless chickens and prepared everything.
