Fang Wenshi thought that he had already taken the people of the Central Plains seriously. He had sent out ten teams of horsemen, each of which consisted of at least five hundred people. The teams spread out in different directions, but maintained a close enough distance that they were still able to support each other when necessary. By all odds, it should have been more than enough to deal with the groups of martial arts practitioners that numbered no more than a couple dozen people in each group.
The mission went almost exactly how Fang Wenshi had anticipated. Wherever the horsemen went, most of the Central Plains people fled. There had been only minor skirmishes, but one of the teams had met a powerful opponent.
