Chu Jiu repeated the words Zhao Qian told her.
"Robbers running rampant in the North-West area?" Lu Liangwei frowned. If those were just ordinary robbers, there was no need for Long Yang to have such a long discussion with the officials.
She looked at Chu Jiu with a hint of suspicion.
Chu Jiu gave a start and replied, "They were no ordinary robbers. I heard that these crooks are particularly emboldened and they plan to…to turn the world upside down." Chu Jiu was slightly surprised at herself for being able to say something like this out loud.
Lu Liangwei was quite shocked to hear this.
"How could such savages exist? They are nothing but stragglers and disbanded soldiers who cannot amount to anything. How dare they proclaim something so insolent?!" She was quite enraged.
No wonder Long Yang was not back yet.
Even though those robbers would likely achieve nothing, they would still cause quite a lot of trouble if not promptly taken care of.
