Zhao Gou, the subordinate, suddenly said, "Your Majesty's body is worth tens of thousands of gold. How can you risk it so easily? It would be better for you to capture him and bring him to the palace."
Ma Jin bowed to Zhao Gou and said, "Your Highness Prince Kang is right, but this time, you are being escorted by General Li Chen, the commander of the imperial guards. General Li is highly skilled in martial arts, and with so many infantry guards protecting you, we can be on the safe side."
"Hmph! If there is even the slightest mistake, I will take your heads!" Zhao Gou said angrily.
Ma Jin smiled and said, "No, no, the world is at peace now. Wherever this strange beast appears, it is surrounded by a myriad of rays of light and an auspicious aura. It is definitely not a creature of this world. If Your Majesty could capture it, it would be a glorious story."
As Zhao Huan listened to him speak more and more outrageously, he thought that it was just a mutated creature, perhaps a deer or sheep.

Zhao Huan was moved by what he said, but he was still frightened by the last assassination attempt and hesitated for a moment.
Zhao Gou asked: "Is this strange beast really so bizarre?"
"I am willing to guarantee with my life that this is absolutely true!"
Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Huan and said, "Brother Your Majesty, how about I accompany you? Firstly, I can take care of you, and secondly, I also want to see the strange beast."
Zhao Huan thought, surrounded by guards, that this time he wouldn't venture out alone. Lian'er also loved these exotic things, so if he took her along, she'd surely enjoy them. And she could protect herself, so he decided, "In that case, I'll go see them tomorrow when I get there."
