Maiden Hong's background, Hou Yuduan certainly knew more than himself, this much Hou Yuxiao was crystal clear about. Looking at Old Fifth's expression right now, it was clear that what Master Fanyin had revealed were all true.
Suddenly, a passage of text popped into Hou Yuxiao's mind:
"In the 153rd year of Wuzong, there was great chaos in the world, and bandits attacked Zhaoyang. The last County Lord, Hong Zhanpeng, would rather die than surrender, leading the city's able-bodied in resistance. Seven days later, the city was breached, and the eighteen hundred thousand inhabitants, including the young and old, women and children, were all slaughtered, their bodies strewn over ten miles, blood flowing like driftwood."
