Zixuan had been drinking with Mo Hongfan and the others for a while when someone from the state government office entered, seemingly an officer. "My lord," he reported, "someone from the mansion just informed us that the Prefect of Longzhou has sent an envoy with urgent matters to discuss with you."
Zixuan stood up, bowed to Mo Hongfan, "General Mo, it's truly unfortunate, I had intended to drink more with everyone. But with matters at the government office calling, I must depart. Tomorrow, I shall return, and we will surely indulge in a hearty drink together." With that, Zixuan headed for the exit.
In the tent, there was a man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, looking valiant and extraordinary. Upon seeing Zixuan about to leave, he stood up to stop him. But another person beside him put out a hand to hold him back.
