Chapter 50
The Green Forest is no closer to the Guan Clan than any of the other Middle Kingdom martial artists. The more connected a group or faction was to the civilian population, the more likely it was to encounter the Guan Army, which had to stabilize the civilian population.
In that sense, the Green Forests were more likely than anyone else to encounter the Guan Army.
The Yangshan sect already had a saying among the bandits of the Green Forest.
“If you’re going to be captured by the Guan Army, be lucky to fall off a cliff. ”
As he remembered the laughable proverb, Yang Yangfa, one of the bandits who had already half given up on life, shuddered.
“……Why such luxury.”
The sumptuous food and liquor in front of him, and the man smiling benevolently as he untied the ropes that bound him, baffled Yang Yangfa.
“All the bandits we’ve captured have said in unison that you’re the highest-ranking of them all, second only to the chieftains.”
Yang Yangfa’s face contorted at the words. The damned bastards had sold him out. They had no sense of loyalty.
The man who didn’t care whether Yang Yangfa’s face twisted or not spoke up.
“That’s why I’m telling you. I’ll give you a chance.”
His face was kind, his words merciful.
Yang Yangfa looked at the man as if mesmerized.
“Ten thousand gold coins.”
Yangshan shook his head at the mention of gold coins.
“Can’t you think of anything?”
“No …….”
“I will ask you again, and if I speak briefly, you will have to answer long and kindly.”
