Hunkering down in the Portable Residence seemed safe, but this approach wouldn't work.
Because hiding in the Portable Residence meant that Li Banfeng had completely cut off contact with the outside world. This was even worse than hiding in Yu Family Village. Without any understanding of the situation's progress, Li Banfeng couldn't make effective preparations or responses. Unless he planned to stay in his house forever, the moment he stepped outside, he might be signing his own death warrant.
If passive defense wouldn't work, then he'd have to change his defensive strategy.
Li Banfeng looked again at the letter in his hand. "Luyuan Inn, Xianle Dance Hall, Qingtang Teahouse—what places are these?"
Shopkeeper Feng said, "They're all businesses run by Jiang Xiang Gang, all located on this street, very close to Yu Family Cloth Store. You don't need me to tell you about the inn and the teahouse, but as for the dance hall—it's a place for singing and dancing."
