"What about those robbers? Have they all run away?" Ye Shikai inquired, as there were no more traces of the robbers nearby, only many footprints.
"Don't worry, Ye. I've already sent the cavalry to chase them. We won't let those people escape," Han Hao replied. "It's my negligence. I didn't expect so many bandit soldiers to be lurking here. I apologize for startling you, Ye."
"Fortunately, nothing happened," Ye Shikai explained. Although a few hundred bushels of grain were lost, there were no casualties among the people, which could be considered the best outcome.
"Ye, I'll immediately send someone to supplement another batch of grain. This is my responsibility," Han Hao said, feeling deeply remorseful. More precisely, he was worried. Ye Shikai was now a prominent figure in East County, and the top general under Ma Yao. If something were to happen to him in He Nei County, just this bit of blame would be enough for Han to bear.
