Chapter 355 - 293, Uncle_2
Liang Gou’er looked at Old Yao and whispered, "Old man, you know a lot. What’s going on here?"
Old Yao said expressionlessly, "These are the Jing Dynasty’s Hu Ben Army. Some big shot has come to Erdao Baihe Town. At the very least, it’s a second-grade official from one of the three major families of the Jing Dynasty."
The three major families of the Jing Dynasty are Yuan, Lu, and Jiang.
Liang Gou’er asked, "What should we do then?"
Old Yao whispered, "Don’t cause any trouble. Just pass through the town quietly and head straight up the mountain."
While passing through the town, they saw over a hundred armored soldiers guarding the vicinity of a tavern, vigilant and menacing.
Inside the tavern, a middle-aged man in a gray robe sat alone at a square table, with just a simple ceramic bowl in front of him, containing only half a bowl of white rice.
No dishes.
The gray-robed middle-aged man, surrounded by solemn guards, took a bite of white rice and then closed his eyes, slowly chewing.
When he opened his eyes again, he smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Bring me a handful of raw rice to see."
The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, fetched a handful of white rice from the kitchen, but was stopped by a young man.
