Chapter 900
After leaving Nankang City, He Shen purchased a boat to travel down the river and also spent some silver to acquire two personal maidens to attend to him.
The women of Yangzhou were famous for their gentleness and loveliness, mostly because they came at thrifty prices. Even including the boat and the maidens, it cost only a little more than a hundred taels of silver.

Now, at last, he seemed to have recouped some of what he had lost and could breathe a sigh of relief, planning his next move.
