Chapter 440

"Now that the Sima dog thief is dead, once this news spreads, the name of the Jiang clan of Cangwu will surely resound throughout the dynasty, drawing countless visitors."

"If the one guarding the mountain lacks sufficient strength, others will inevitably look down on us, giving rise to all sorts of rumors."

"Better that I serve as the face of Cangwu Mountain — I can also keep those idle busybodies out!"

Zhao Hu's expression was solemn, every word ringing with conviction!

Though he was single-minded by nature, he was no fool.

He understood perfectly well that, for many of the Jiang clansmen,

the fact that he had once served under Sima Nan was undoubtedly a tremendous stain!

That stain was enough to leave a natural rift between the two sides.

Therefore, to avoid certain troubles that could have been sidestepped,

and even more so to let himself blend into the Jiang clan of Cangwu more naturally,

the post of guarding the Shanmen was, in fact, perfectly suited to him!
