For the next few days, Shu State seemed to grow much calmer.
But for those who were paying attention, a strange undercurrent was brewing in the shadows.
News of the Xiao Family's medicinal herbs being hijacked was spread by the travelers who had been resting at the post station that night.
In an instant, it sparked a great deal of speculation, which could be roughly divided into three categories.
Or rather, in the eyes of three different groups of people, there were three versions of the story they were willing to believe.
Those who roamed the Jianghu were more focused on the "Sword Madman" Liu Lang heading south and the appearance of Evil Demons from the Illusory Sound Sect.
Thus, they were more inclined to believe that the medicinal herbs the Xiao Family transported from the Northern State contained legendary natural treasures.
The most outlandish rumor was, "That batch of herbs contained a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, specifically meant to extend the Old Marquis's life."
