Their appearance made the rebels defending the city feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Before long, hundreds of people came with spears and surrounded them.
An officer who looked like a centurion came up to question him.
"You are truly audacious. Don't you know that this is already the territory of our Fengtian Grand Marshal?"
The officer stared fiercely at the Zhou family caravan.
Seeing the bulging packages on the backs of the caravan's mules and horses, he was filled with greed.

"They are our Zhou family's bodyguards. It's reasonable for them to carry weapons when they go out."
Zhou Shou hurriedly explained, "When will Hou Tianwang come back? We really have something important to see him about."
"We don't know about that." The officer shook his head.
