Chapter 444

Night fell. The massive army made camp at the border between Bingzhou and Youzhou. Because the force tasked with providing protection was so large, General Cheng Han had split the troops into three divisions: the vanguard had moved into Bingzhou to rest, the center division traveled with the main force, and the rear guard remained in Youzhou. *The Legendary Life of Jia Lingyun* had become a massive bestseller across Dawei. As a result, the story of how he slew the River Lord had spread from person to person until nearly every citizen in Dawei knew of it. Seeing Jia Lingyun resting in their county, local gentry vied for the honor of hosting him in their homes. Jia Lingyun, welcoming the chance for some peace and quiet, opted for a warm bed over the army camp. He chose a wealthy residence, paid a few ten-thousand taels for lodging, and settled in with the Camp Breaker.
