This time, Xiaomi's words were clear; without Wei Ziang's explanation, Xiaomi hurriedly spoke.
"It's all my fault. It was my first time at the frontier, and I had never seen what the grasslands looked like. I heard my brother mention it twice, and then kept pestering him to take me out to play."
"Initially, I didn't mean to hide anything. I was just afraid my parents would find out and forbid us from going out, so we snuck out to play for a few days."
Xiaomi spoke with a face full of regret: "If my brother had told me earlier that he couldn't freely leave the frontier, I wouldn't have pestered him to take me out."
This is a Chiliarch, an officer who can command a thousand men. To her understanding, it's akin to a commander.
And the concept of this situation is akin to a major military secret emerging within the country, and the main person privy to this secret sneaking out of the country and losing contact for several days!
