Longkou Town, Hundred Fragrance Tea House.
On a neat square table with a reddish-brown hue, there was a plate of sliced beef, a plate of smashed cucumbers, a dish of peanuts, and a jar of opened rice wine.
"I heard there's black fog rising over Jiangtai Plain, nine out of ten people who go in can't come out!"
"On the land route to Jiang City, you must pass through Jiangtai Plain, those caravans are in trouble, luckily we're taking the boat."
Two men dressed in gray cloth garments and black headscarves were sitting at the table, drinking and chatting.
"Brother Li, Brother Wang, I'm afraid tomorrow's boat to Jiang City won't leave on time." A moment later, another person approached the table, clearly an acquaintance, after sitting down he lowered his voice suddenly.
"Oh, why?"
"They say a villain has appeared in nearby Xinxiang, killed several officials, they are searching the whole city now, even the ferry has been affected!"
"Hiss… Such an evil person!"
