The Marquis was in his twenties the first time he tasted such delicacies; he felt it was worth making the trip.
No wonder people outside constantly fought over them, with money one could enjoy good food, with money one could do many things.
At this very moment, the Marquis's heart was slightly shaking, but he wouldn't do evil deeds to gain these riches and enjoyments. Instead, he only thought about selling some medicinal herbs or food from the mountains.
This outing was also exploratory in nature; he was always followed when he ventured out and did not dare to bring more people for fear of being unable to protect them.
He didn't know who those people were, or why they were tracking him; they might want to uncover his secrets, and of course, he did not wish his stockade to be exposed.
