Lord Zheng has always been involved in the military, never the street life.
The Sword Saint coughed lightly, not responding. He was part of the street life, but his version of it differed from that of ordinary people roaming the streets.
At this moment, the princess spoke: "The Lotus Gang is primarily a sect focused on gathering secrets and intelligence. It originated from Lotus Pass, hence the name."
Lotus Pass isn't a place name, but rather a local art form similar to the "Fengyang Flower Drum" that Lord Zheng knows—essentially a touring performance troupe, but they narrate stories from all over instead of singing and dancing.
It originated in the Qian State, initially running a business of storytellers in teahouses. At its peak, the storytellers in the teahouses of the imperial capital were mostly from the Lotus Sect. Even if you weren't born into the sect, you needed their approval to work as a storyteller.
