The sky darkened faster than usual on this rainy day.
A lone lamp flickered inside the study of the Chen Mansion.
Beneath it, Xu Dabeng stood with a slight hunch, awaiting instructions from Chen Mo.
Chen Mo informed Xu Dabeng about the mountain bandits outside Bianliang City and then said, "Dabeng, this is a chance for you to earn merits. Seize it well and eradicate these mountain bandits. I won't forget to reward you."
To Chen Mo, these were merely a group of ordinary mountain bandits, numbering two or three hundred, and did not require his personal intervention. Sending subordinates would suffice.
Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Xu Dabeng did not think much of it, confident that handling a group of mountain bandits would be a breeze. This was, after all, an easily won credit. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fist, "I promise to complete the mission."
Chen Mo nodded and then said, "Stay for dinner before you leave."
