After trekking over mountains and across rivers, through dense forests and along steep cliffs, Pei Shaoqing finally saw the green bamboo forest General Li had told him about.
There were some places the horses simply couldn't pass.
So, for the latter part of the journey, they relied entirely on Lightweight Skill and their own two feet.
Chen Zhongyi and the others were completely fed up.
'His Lordship is going to drag someone hiding in this shithole out just to pay taxes. What a deep and profound love he must have for the Great Zhou.'
"Pull yourselves together. We'll be there once we cross this bamboo forest," Pei Shaoqing said, looking back at everyone.
Everyone responded in unison, "As you command!"
'Everyone was seething with resentment. They were determined to teach that bastard a lesson. Hiding in the mountains to evade taxes... he had no idea the trouble he'd caused for the people sent to collect.'
