“His second-in-command tried to humiliate me, and I injured him. He’ll probably chase after me and take me back!” Fu Rou guessed.
Is that so?
Liu Wei then asked Pei Yuanshao.
"She lied and claimed to be the son of a loyal minister in the capital who was persecuted by political enemies, deceiving us and even injuring our second-in-command. I never expected him to be a woman!"
“We saved him, but so many of our brothers were injured. Of course we have to go after her and get to the bottom of this.”

A large contingent of troops surged in.
The leader was fully armored, with eyes like an eagle, and was even more valiant!
Seeing the large number of cavalrymen before him, he immediately raised his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him to stop.
The person next to him, with sharp eyes, spotted Fu Rou at a glance.
