Story

After his youngest daughters amrriage he had a long talk with his sister. Po was placed on extended medical leave after losing her left leg in service of the imperial marines. She insisted that with all his children grown it was time he took up the dreams of his youth. Although he couldn't enter imperial service, it wasn't too late for him to take to the road as a mendicant monk. After the temple revolts no one in the empire asked for temple aid, and none of the surviving priests had the time to give it. Except for the capital cities most of the districts were having trouble with spirits and disease.

Po promised to look after his family in exchange for him meeting with a traveling scholar named Seigfried. Bo made arrangements to transfer everything to his sister and informing his children of his intention to travel. Although he insisted it was just to visit hot springs, Xi insisted he take one her husbands guard dogs. He then met with Seigfried and was intrigued by the circumstances described in the out-islands. More impressive than his oratory were his caution and urge to properly prepare for the unexpected upon the trade routes.

Bo Beng has encountered some trouble but mostly it has been in dealing with hardship and loneliness. Thankfully he has a surrogate child in the form of Ko to insctruct. So far he has had information on where to travel by way of Uncle Bob. He seems to have informants in many places. Uncle Bob must be a formidable merchant to have such dispirate contacts. Know Bo is becoming worried because his latest contact of the Uncle's men has not appeared in four days. That is a very ill number.
