It was already dark when they arrived at the main tent. The guards were starting the fire to grill the meat and prepare for the bonfire banquet later at night.
The sunset glow faded away. The undulating mountain ranges connected with the darkness and formed a more magnificent scene.
Countless bonfires were lit up at the foot of the mountain, like a gleaming river paved on the ground by the falling stars.
A giant bonfire was burning in front of the main tent with tables and chairs packed around it. Some officials had already taken their seats and exchanging hunting storied during the day. They were engaged in congenial conversations and enjoying the laughter while waiting for Emperor Zhao Ping to appear.
Nangong Shu, Hu Dapao, and Qiao An had been waiting for Su Jiu near the bonfire. They stood up immediately the moment Su Jiu and Nangong Bi came.
"Hu Dapao, how dare you not tell me that Su Jiu is here!" Nangong Bi spoke first to question Hu Dapao.
