Chapter 13: Unexpected Incident at Miao Shou Garden!
"The new batch of medicinal herbs has arrived."
"The trade route has finally reopened. I heard that Lord Fu Zun mobilized the imperial troops and swiftly wiped out those bandits who had been blocking the trade route."
"Yes, with the mighty army sweeping through, how could those mere mountain bandits survive? But we need to be cautious; it's said that some martial arts experts among the bandits escaped and are now hiding in nearby cities, committing crimes from time to time."
"These damn mountain bandits make life unbearable..."
Apprentices and pharmacists within Miaoshou Garden were engaged in lively discussions, clearly harboring strong resentment towards the mountain bandits.
The mountain bandits had disrupted the trade route, preventing medicinal herbs from reaching Nanyang City, which directly impacted Miaoshou Garden's business. Fortunately, with the reopening of the trade route, Miaoshou Garden received its supply of medicinal herbs, and business was gradually returning to normal.
"Mountain bandits..."
Lu Changsheng was also aware of this matter. Although the imperial army had crushed the mountain bandits, some martial experts had scattered into various towns and counties, causing headaches for local authorities. After all, these individuals were martial arts masters, making their capture a formidable challenge, especially since they operated covertly, leaving no traces behind.
As a result, the security in Nanyang City had deteriorated recently, with several wealthy households falling victim to the marauding criminals. Miaoshou Garden's security team had been frequently mobilized, intensifying their patrolling efforts.
For now, Miaoshou Garden had managed to remain unscathed.
"Lu Changsheng, lend a hand here. This basket of medicinal herbs is too heavy..."
Liu Yang called out to Lu Changsheng.
