Moreover, as the reputation of Great Xia's Moao First Town spread.
Another rumor is also starting to circulate in the Eight Towns.
The content of the rumor is that Xia Hong has replaced Yang Zhun of Beishuo, becoming the strongest in the Nine Towns at the southern foot of Moao Mountain.
It's unclear how the other seven towns reacted, but the response from Beishuo Town was significant.
The name of the Great Lord Yang Zhun cannot be sullied.
When this rumor flowed into Beishuo City in mid-July, Town Chief Yang Fa was enraged and immediately executed more than a dozen key spreaders, then strictly ordered everyone in the city not to spread the message further.
Yang Ning, upon first hearing the rumor from the soldiers in the camp, also reacted violently, almost resorting to murder, but eventually, for the soldier's idle chatting, only punished him with a hundred lashes, leaving him severely injured.
