Chapter 380: Going South

Upon hearing this, A'bao said seriously, "I would rather you went looking for a beauty than venture there. Do you have any idea how deep the waters are in the south?"

"How deep?" A'niu inquired.

"I took part in training in the southern part before, and the merchants there have close ties with the War Department."

"Even the appointment of local staff is decided by these people."

As A'bao spoke, his tone was filled with gravity.

A'niu, however, was nonchalant.

"Then I really must go and meet them."

"Their relationships are complex and deep-rooted; uprooting them won't be easy," A'bao warned.

"Especially for us common folk, they could squash us easier than squashing an ant."

A'bao truly feared that A'niu's courage was the impulsive kind.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

So he needed to clarify just how formidable these relationships were.

"Hmm, this..."

"Dinner's ready!"

Auntie Ma's voice interrupted A'niu's speech.
