Xiang Long Wei's gaze swept over them, cold and indifferent. "General Wu," he asked again, his tone sharper this time, "did you truly not notice nothing?"
Mei Liang, still eating inside her carriage with Lánxīn and Cuìyù, paused slightly at Xiang Long Wei's words. So, he had already sensed danger? she thought quietly, lowering her lashes to hide the flicker in her eyes. Since he knew they were being followed, why hadn't he said anything? What if something bad had happened, and his soldiers were too unskilled to even notice such an important thing?
The soldiers stiffened at the Emperor's chilling tone. Even Deputy General Feng Wenxiu felt a shiver crawl down his spine. Shame weighed heavily on them all. They were marching to the northern border to face war, yet they had failed to notice anything unusual along the road. If not for Xiang Long Wei's revealing it, they would have remained blind until danger struck.
