Xu Zimo turned his head.
From far away, Wang Hengzhi was already shouting, "Patriarch, Patriarch!"
"What's the rush? Have enemies come to kill us again?" Xu Zimo asked.

"What did the Heavenly Saint Upper Kingdom send people for?" Xu Zimo asked doubtfully.
"What you may not know, Patriarch, is that when Crown Prince Longhai demanded protection money from us,
