"Ground Snake?" Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow slightly, "What kind of Ground Snake?" This Dongan Town is still under the jurisdiction of Changhuai State; half a day further is the territory of Jizhou. Such a junction indeed tends to breed water bandits and road bullies.
"Well..." Tian Ba hesitated for a moment, but decided to share what he knew, pointing to the distant mountain peak, "See that mountain over there? That's called Dongtou Mountain. There's a group of mountain bandits on it. Every one of them can scale walls with high martial skills. Every month, they come down the mountain either to rob merchants or abduct women. Anyway, if you encounter them, it's just bad luck; local people are very afraid of the mountain bandits of Dongtou Mountain."
"Doesn't the Governor's Office care about it?"
"The Governor's Office?" Tian Ba sneered, then lowered his voice, "The Governor's Office receives generous tributes, so usually they turn a blind eye."
