It was only after coming here that I realized, for the past three years, my elder sister had been outwardly managing the Dongsheng Tavern as the shopkeeper, while secretly searching for my father's former allies.
Heaven does not disappoint those who persevere. Over these years, Shopkeeper Yan really managed to locate many of the old allies. They were all lying low on the outskirts of Yán City, waiting for their Young Master—for their hope—over the course of three years.
Later, Yuwen Qi trained alongside them, striving for excellence together, though the old allies had both strengths and weaknesses.
Their strength was their unwavering loyalty. Each and every one of them was willing to sacrifice everything for him.
Their weakness was that they were few in number and had no way to recruit soldiers or forge weapons.
High loyalty coupled with low manpower and inferior weaponry was a fatal flaw.
