"What? Is he not well known?"
"Not at all. It's just that we merchants who travel frequently never dare to call him by his 'bandit title' directly. We mostly just call him the 'Bandit King'."
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. "And why is that?"
"That King Landu is a ruthless character. Not only is he greedy and domineering, but his methods are vicious."
"Merchants who travel the Ancient Tea-Horse Road year-round, whether they're from our Great Wei Dynasty, the Western Buddha Country, or even Poshisu Country, all have to give him a pound of flesh."
"Even I…"
Jia Yuzhi paused, a fearful look on his face. "Most of the shopkeepers I sent to Poshisu Country to procure herbs were either killed or wounded."
"King Landu has his rules. All passing merchants must hand over half their goods. If you dare to run, he'll kill everyone. If you dare to hide anything, he'll kill half of you. If the count is wrong, he'll kill one person, just depending on his mood."
