Manbao and his friends had been busy for a while and were hungry, so they headed back to the restaurant, propped themselves up on the second floor, and waited for their food while watching the river of lanterns flowing below.
County Magistrate Yang dealt with the only conflict of the evening, glanced down to see that his "citizens" were safe, and strolled over to the next room with his hands clasped behind his back.
Because he smelled the enticing fragrance of the food.
The waiter was just bringing late-night snacks for Manbao and his party when County Magistrate Yang arrived, not even needing to knock on the door, "Having fun?"
All three nodded continuously and invited County Magistrate Yang to sit down.
"Lord Yang, aren't you going out to enjoy yourself?"
"I would have liked to, but with you guys here, I can't be at ease."
Bai Shan: "Lord Yang, we don't need your protection."
Manbao: "That's right, we have Daji."
