Eight months had passed, and Gu Shanhai finally returned to Cangsan Village, disheveled and exhausted. During these seven months, he had collected six military tactics manuals, all of which were of the same level as the "Sun and Moon Military Method" or slightly inferior.
Mainly because the "Sun and Moon Military Method" belonged to the top tier, there weren't many similar and easily obtainable manuals, so most of Gu Shanhai's time was spent traveling.
"Master, you have returned." Jiang Lu, having learned of Gu Shanhai's return, hurried to visit, though he was accompanied by three robust men.
"Yes, when did you return?" Gu Shanhai also asked.
He had written to Jiang Lu to return within eight months without specifying an exact time, so Gu Shanhai wasn't quite sure himself. Anyway, he had timed his return perfectly, for on the road, he had already heard of the rebellions, with signs of trouble cropping up everywhere.
