Governor Duan was very enthusiastic and quickly said, "Really, it's too much trouble for Young Master Bai. How can I let you do such rough work? Someone—"
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward to take the wooden basin. Bai Shan did not fuss, handed it over, and said, "Pour it out and then bring a basin of hot water." Only then did he begin to speak with Governor Duan, "Has the bandit suppression been going smoothly, sir?"
"This time, thanks to Assistant General Nie's help, the bandit chief and the third leader of the horse bandits have been captured. The second leader got away, but Assistant General Nie has taken people to pursue him."
Governor Duan remained confident and said, "Only five managed to escape; they shouldn't be able to get away."
Assistant General Nie took over a hundred people to pursue them, so this time the odds of winning are the greatest it's ever been.
