And so my Character has arrived in China... the plan for him is:
He will get recruited by General Yang who will ask him to investigate the matters of Wulin and the border areas. Akira finds work as an agent for General Yang, so that he can afford to ensure Atsuko and Fujiko can live quietly without any hardships.
BTW, this General Yang here is an Ancestor/member of the Yang Family of generals who are famous for their bravery and loyalty, and hence also the Ancestor of Yang Guo.
