Li Jue then looked at Lan Zhi, "Is the method of refining this glass common? How come it's here?"
Lan Zhi shook her head. "The method of refining glass is only known to the royal families of various countries. As for why it is here, I don't understand either!"
Li Jue asked, "Could you translate this method?"
Lan Zhi nodded, "No problem!"
Li Jue then ordered someone to find a piece of white cloth, and then had Lanzhi translate the contents of the cloth bag into Chinese.
After the translation was completed, Li Jue put the white cloth into a bag and handed it to the person in charge.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the room, when Lanzhi saw the steward stuff the cloth bag into his robes, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.
Li Jue looked at Lan Zhi and said softly, "Alright, you should go back and rest now. Tomorrow, you'll come with us to the next bandit's hideout!"
"This humble woman takes her leave!"
Lanzhi nodded, then followed the soldier and left.
Li Jue then sent someone to summon Chen Erlv.
"Where did you find that woman from earlier?"
"Reporting to Sima, it's in the wooden house ahead!"
Is there a man with her?
Chen Erlv shook his head. "No, when I rushed in, she was the only one there!"
Li Jue nodded, then said, "Okay! Arrange for a few people to protect her. Absolutely no accidents can be tolerated!"

After Chen Erlv left, the steward frowned and came up behind Li Jue, saying, "Sima, I have a feeling that this woman is not simple!"
"Hmph~ Of course it's not simple!"
Li Jue couldn't help but sneer, "As she walked, I could faintly smell a fragrance, which meant she had just taken a bath. Moreover, such a beautiful woman, living alone in a wooden house in this bandit's den, is living such a comfortable life! It's really suspicious!"
"Sima is indeed insightful and meticulous! I admire him!"
The person in charge feigned sudden realization and immediately showered the man with flattery.
"Stop flattering me."
Li Jue's lips trembled slightly; these words didn't sound like a compliment at all.
"Although this woman is suspicious, her identity as a member of the royal family of Gaochang is likely genuine. She might be useful to His Majesty, so we cannot let her out of our sight!"
"Don't worry, Sima, I will keep a close eye on her!"
The next day, after leaving some food for the other women from the Western Regions, Li Jue led the Liangzhou soldiers on a raid towards the next bandit stronghold marked in the intelligence report.
Lanzhi was also assigned to the group by Li Jue. When she saw that the direction Li Jue led them to was so accurate, Lanzhi couldn't help but feel surprised.
