Lu Chengwen looked at Hu Shu. "How do you know so much about the Zhang Family?"
"I know all about everything in the martial world. I know the Northern Kingdom inside out!"

Lu Chengwen looked over. At Zhang Jiucheng's table, someone had been hauled to his feet, clutching a roast suckling pig with grease all over his
