When Sanhuang followed behind Cao Zhengchun into the room and saw Qin Yuesheng, he immediately smiled and bowed, saying, "Master."
"Is there some trouble at the Twelve Linked Rings that brought you here?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
Sanhuang originally intended to report his progress in practicing swordsmanship, but quickly changed his tone: "Yes, yes, something's happened, there's trouble at the Twelve Linked Rings. I heard from Uncle Zhao and Uncle Guo that a lot of the authorities' ships have surrounded Twelve Linked Rings, and they're saying if we don't surrender, they're going to start bombarding us."
"The authorities have made a move against Twelve Linked Rings?" Qin Yuesheng's first thought was Liu Xian. Liu Xian controlled Yangzhou Prefecture, closest to the East Sea, and his navy was the strongest. There was no way that Cao Mengda and Wu Bao could cross Jiangnan so quickly to launch an attack from afar on Twelve Linked Rings.
