The man returned to the campsite on the grasslands, leaned in close to Batu's ear, and quietly reported what he had seen and heard earlier.
Batu's eyes flickered: "Are you sure? Didn't hear wrong?"
The man nodded affirmatively: "Sir, I'm sure I didn't hear wrong. There was indeed a woman, and it was the voice of a young woman."
This person was one of Batu's confidants and couldn't help but remark: "I didn't expect this Lord Song to be so inseparable from women. Even when visiting our grasslands, he brings a woman along! Could it be that he's afraid there aren't pretty women on our grasslands—"
His tone carried a bit of disdain.
Batu said nothing. Based on his previous dealings with Song Chongjin, he knew that Song Chongjin was not a man of pleasure-seeking nature, but this was hard to say. After all, during negotiations, one can't bring women. Who knows if Song Chongjin isn't attended to by women once he returns to his chambers?
