Li Banfeng sat in the chair, the shadow of his hat obscuring his face.
The man before him, Luo Zhengnan, had spoken some truths and some lies.
The lies were easy to discern. He claimed to have brought only two subordinates, but in reality, there were more. Sun Xiao'an, the Second Helmsman of Medicine King Hall, was in the fortress selling sundries, a detail Luo Zhengnan had omitted.
The truths were harder to discern, but a few statements were indeed accurate.
If he could infiltrate Iron Gate Fort, others could too.
The House Spirit, Zhao Xiaowan, was clearly a magnet for trouble. Once her presence became known, Iron Gate Fort was doomed to become Blood Gate Fort.
But what was to be done about it?
It wouldn't be difficult to dismiss Luo Zhengnan, nor the Jiang Xiang Gang. But Zhao Xiaowan was so formidable that even Li Banfeng's wife might not be her match, and she was beyond Li Banfeng's ability to handle as he pleased.
