Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 287: Chapter 278: Yuheng Sword Guest Huang Yifu

”The Star Moon Sect has the Seven Stars Hall, which consists of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yao Guang; each Star Hall has four leaders and numerous swordsmen.”

”Huang Yifu is a swordsman from the Yuheng Hall of the Seven Stars Hall!”

Wu Zhan explained simply.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, he knew about the Star Moon Sect and also knew about the Seven Stars Hall.

The Star Moon Sect has both an internal and an external division, internally there is the Four Moon Flag, and externally, the Seven Stars Hall. The Four Moon Flags are the New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter; the Seven Stars are what Wu Zhan mentioned, the Seven Stars Hall.

Alright, that’s all he knew, and he didn’t know much more in detail.

”So what does ’swordsman’ refer to?”

”Um, putting it simply, a swordsman is essentially the enforcer for the Seven Stars Hall, they typically have a group holed up in the mountains.”

Yang Zhenshan nodded, ”So it was this Yuheng swordsman who robbed us of our cotton fabrics!”

”Yes, Huang Yifu has always been stationed on Qingfu Mountain, commanding over two hundred bandits, making a living by collecting tolls from passing merchants.”

”Usually, they wouldn’t rob merchant convoys, but this time, for some reason, they actually stole our cotton fabrics!”

Wu Zhan said.

Qingfu Mountain is located in the southern part of Jing’an Prefecture, it is an extension of Changqing Mountain, yes, the Changqing Mountain where Yang Family Village is located.

The official road beneath Qingfu Mountain is one of the major routes leading to Jing’an City, and Huang Yifu makes his living off this road.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, his expression calm, but internally he was quite astounded.

It’s quite something how these bandits make their living by collecting tolls on the mountain.

Tsk tsk, this is certainly much easier than plundering homes!

”Is everyone from the convoy alright?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”A few of the guards escorting the convoy were killed!” Wu Zhan said.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression immediately turned grim.

Of the three batches of cotton fabrics, besides the first batch which was personally escorted by Wu Zhan, the remaining two batches were carried by guards hired by the cloth merchants of Jing’an City.

To steal is one thing, but to kill as well!

That’s a bit too much!

Yang Zhenshan stood up and started pacing back and forth in his study.

Liaodong is different from Chongshan Town; Chongshan Town has rogue soldiers, chaotic troops, but not bandits.

Bandits cannot survive in Chongshan Town, they can’t just rob the military.

However, the chaotic soldiers from Chongshan Town used to be worse than bandits, until they were dealt with by Lu Chongde and Liang Chu, and Chongshan Town was rid of chaotic soldiers.

But Liaodong has many fierce bandits, and many are in the depths of Changqing Mountain.

Back then, when Yang Zhenshan was still in Yang Family Village, didn’t he fight bandits?

But the bandits he dealt with can’t compare to this Yuheng swordsman.

The cotton fabrics were stolen, should they be taken back?

Technically, since the cotton fabrics haven’t reached Tenglong Guard yet, and he hasn’t paid for them, the robbery doesn’t affect him directly.

But, these were the goods he requested, the cotton fabrics that the military households need.

Currently, many military households at Tenglong Guard are waiting for this batch of cotton fabrics!

Plus, without this batch, it would be difficult for Jing’an City to gather such an amount of fabrics again.

”They must be taken back!”

”Damn~”

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but curse, just a group of bandits, and he, the Commander of Tenglong Guard, should be afraid of them?

”Master, the Star Moon Sect is not to be trifled with!” Wu Zhan said gravely.

Yang Zhenshan grinned, ”What? Are court officials easier to provoke?”

Jianghu forces are just jianghu forces, compared to the court, what are they?

Of course, this is not to say that Jianghu forces aren’t formidable, there are indeed many powerful Jianghu sects within the worldly society.

But then again, the Da Rong Court does not allow overly powerful Jianghu sects within its territory.

So, many formidable forces in Jianghu don’t have their bases within the domain of Da Rong.

Like the Star Moon Sect, their sect base is located on an island in the East South Sea Domain of Da Rong, but the Seven Stars Hall is within the territory of Da Rong.
