Su Zhizhu and Baman Zhen, the mercenary duo, had experience in otherworldly battles; their long-term scope of operation had extended far beyond the region of Chang'an.
In a sense, compared to them, Lu Ping'an and the locals who had hardly left the ancient city were indeed country bumpkins who hadn't seen the world.
As expected, the channels through which both parties received information were not on the same level... at least, their focus was different.
On Lu Ping'an's side, there was official information, but at his level (grassroots executioner), what to do and how to do it, the causes and rumors before and after, required him to fill in the gaps himself.
For the mercenary duo, a chat with their friends would naturally yield information that Lu Ping'an's side could never access.
