That night, Song Cheng was directly kept at the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, sitting at a table with the "Iron Arm Gray Bear" Hong Juguang.
They ate.
Song Cheng's timing was perfect.
Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and White Camel Estate had opened recruitment slots to attract martial artists, offering generous rewards. So, would the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall not assign important tasks to a Form Realm warrior who personally visited?
Normally, this would be impossible.
But now, it was not a normal time.
This was the timing Song Cheng chose after observing the West City Gate and realizing he couldn't bypass the government office.
...
The dishes were all served, but they weren't considered luxurious.
In fact, they were only slightly better than the "frugal" meals of the An Family during this period.
This wasn't because Shanhe Martial Arts Hall was stingy, but because every force was actually tightening their belts to get by.
In war, money flows like water.
