Settling and Fraud (1)

Red Cloud Mountain was a huge mountain situated in the Lu River area. The forest around it was dense, and as soon as autumn arrived, it would turn red all over the mountain, like layers of golden red clouds. That was how it got its name.

Two to three years ago, a group of people took a fancy to this place and gathered in the mountains and forests. Until now, they had six leaders, with about two to three thousand subordinates.

Although the stronghold was not big, it had two passes built for defense. The terrain was steep, and it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, because the stronghold did things with a certain level of discretion, it had never been cleaned up by the officials.

Zhou Jing and the others hid along the way and finally arrived at their destination.
