"These two young women just said that many other girls were imprisoned with them. In your servant's opinion, we should rescue those girls as quickly as possible. And the villains who abducted them must be severely punished!" Lu Zhan took two steps forward and said with a bow.
He had just finished speaking when Commander Shen suddenly hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, the men this general sent to investigate have returned. Those villains are too cunning. They took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and lost our men. However, on their way back, our men discovered a house in a mountain hollow, surrounded by numerous thugs. It appears that is where the abducted young women are being held captive."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately commanded, "Duan Ling, take some men at once and rescue those young women. We shall see who dares to act with such audacity!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duan Ling immediately stepped forward. After assembling his men, he departed.
