Chapitre 67: Chapter 67 Setting up Camp at Yang Slope_1

"Sir?"

The caravan's steward, chasing after the horse's flank, suddenly called out from behind.

Huang An turned in response, surprised to see the steward of the caravan, and asked:

"Yes?"

Huang An had apparently become accustomed to his identity as a martial artist.

In the Daming Dynasty, martial artists were considered superior to others, with all other occupations standing aside.

Those who practiced martial arts were invariably from wealthy families.

A martial artist could enlist to fight enemies, retire to safeguard his hometown, become a local gentry, or ascend to become a general or prime minister in the capital.

What about scholars?

Martial artists are also scholars. How could one practice martial arts without studying?

Successful martial artists were all well-versed in literature.

There were pure scholars too, but they had a lower status, usually acting as minor clerks in county cities, serving and entertaining behind martial artists.
