The surname Dongliang was one that Cheng Ziang was very familiar with. When they decided to advance north, the first prominent Kyushu native they encountered was Dongliang Yu.
At that time, Dongliang Yu warmly welcomed Cheng Ziang and Feng, so Cheng Ziang had a favorable impression of the Dongliang surname.
Thus, Cheng Ziang jumped off the carriage, approached, and clasped his fists, saying, "I am the Azure Dragon under the Saint's seat, and those traveling on the carriage are the Saints."
"Having heard of the Saint's passage, I was ordered by the Patriarch to come and protect the Saints on their journey northwards to avoid disturbance by petty foes," Dongliang Hu respectfully said.
"You're too kind."
"No, no, it's my duty," Dongliang Hu waved dismissively.
"Thus, we have no choice but to respectfully accept your favor," Cheng Ziang smiled and said.
"Please, Manor Lord, do not decline," Dongliang Hu said.
