It is said that he encountered bandits on his way back to the palace after visiting the imperial concubine, but was saved by a passing patrol.
The bandits were brutal, and Pei Jin was covered in wounds. A deep sword wound in his chest revealed the bone; if it had been just a fraction higher, even a celestial being would have been unable to save him.
