At noon on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, in Hebei Baoding.
Vice Master Lu Liancheng of the 'Shengong Gate' affiliated with the Shenqi Union, along with a group of knights from the gate, escorted dozens of horse carts to the Shaojian prison of the Yuma Bureau located in Baoding.
His complexion was pale, his eyes filled with worry.
This was because Lu Liancheng had received two pieces of news not long ago.
The first piece of news was that a boat from their Shengong Gate, which was transporting raw materials for bow-making, was detained by the General's Mansion in charge of transport. All the iron ingots, rhino horns, bull horns, beast tendons and other materials transported from Tiannan were confiscated.
Although the total value was not very high, only about 120,000 taels of patterned silver. But if they couldn't get these things back, there would be a gap in the raw materials for bows and crossbows of Shengong Gate next year.
