"Say that again?"
"Master Brendan was kidnapped… Master…" Liehui repeated, a little fearfully. "We were on our way to Jin city when a large group of people jumped on us… They grabbed Master Brendan and ran off before I could stop them…"
"How many?"
"At least two dozen of them… They came to us on horseback and grabbed Master Brendan. One of them attacked me and I managed to subdue him… If only I could save Master Brendan too..."
I shook my head, "It's not your fault, there was nothing you could do against such a group, they were prepared."
Liehui bowed her head, obviously still quite distraught about the matter.
I made my way towards the man who was bound up tightly in ropes with a cloth stuck in his mouth, presumably to prevent him from biting off his own tongue to kill himself.
