“The emperor is far away. Moreover I am his blood kin. If I refuse, what can you do? Can you haul me all the way back to the Capital or will you execute me immediately like so many victims of the Dong Chang?” He paused and then continued, “I am not anyone, Commander Ji. Remember your place. You are talking to a kin of the emperor who has fought alongside his Majesty and had bled for the empire.”

“Do not make me take the girl by force, Marquis.”

Suddenly, the Marquis burst out laughing. “You are really pushing it hard aren’t you?” Then the Marquis leaned closer to Ji Gang in a conspiratorial manner and whispered, “Who is this girl that would make the head of the emperor’s security throw away his career by threatening a member of the royal family? I am told she is just the daughter of a street performer, not some rebel princess. What is your interest in her, Ji? If she is the daughter of a rebel, then, as a general of the Ming army and a Marquis of the empire, I will be glad to assist you to arrest them all. Who are they, Ji? Who are you really after?” After a sneer, he added, “They are not really rebels, are they? I am the supreme military commander of this region. I know who the rebels are.”
