Outside Yanzhou City, in a mountain forest.
This primeval forest, usually devoid of human presence, was now filled with people. These men were all robust and strong, some carrying long sabers, others wearing official robes.
For such a group to gather, they must have come for something big.
"Incense Master Qiu!"
"Lord Wei, Alliance Leader Hu, Sect Leader Qiao."
Qiu Yang cupped his fist in his large hands.
As an Incense Master of the Cao Bang, he was familiar with almost all the major powers along the river.
The middle-aged man in official robes, exuding an air of authority, was none other than Wei Yang, the Prefect of Yanzhou.
The brawny, bare-chested man was Hu Sanyang, the Alliance Leader of the Sun Alliance.
As for the last man, the one with the aquiline nose and sinister air, he was Qiao Ding, the Sect Leader of the Aries Sect.
These three were the most powerful figures in Yan Province.
