"At last there's news of Su the kid. That boy actually went to Canghe County... Any longer without news, I'd have thought he too was captured by the rebel army. Thank goodness, thank goodness!"
Everyone knew a great battle was about to break out. Though the Black Mountain Rebel Army had already taken shape, Wu Lie's sources were astute; he vaguely gathered that this time, it even involved a Taiping Dao envoy, and word had reached Qingzhou Prefecture.
Upon hearing this, Wu Lie knew the destruction of the Black Mountain Army was inevitable. How could the rebel forces entrenched in the Three Counties withstand Qingzhou Prefecture? Wu Lie had been worried that Su Mu was still in the hands of the rebels and would be caught up when the army finally swept through.
"If Su the kid was in Canghe County this whole time, and there's no mention of forging any weapons recently, then he must not be involved in that affair."
