News of Ayina's encounter with bandits soon reached Li Rufeng. At the time, he was sitting in his military tent studying a map of the frontier. Hearing the report, he slammed his writing brush down on the table with a sharp crack and roared angrily, "Those reckless little bandits! How dare they lay a hand on one of my people? They're simply tired of living!"
Zhang Tie, standing nearby, quickly tried to calm him down. "General, please control your anger. Princess Ayina and the brothers are all safe and sound, which is a blessing in the greatest misfortune. Still, these bandits are truly audacious and deserve to be taught a lesson."
Li Rufeng stood up, pacing back and forth as he gnashed his teeth. "No, villains like these must be eliminated, or we will not appease the public outrage nor uphold the glorious reputation of the Gale Battalion. I will lead the troops personally and wipe them all out!"
