Yingbao took advantage of Master's solitary stance at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant mountains, and approached to ask, "Master, who was that person?"
Zhou Wuchang glanced at his young apprentice and said, "Children should not always be so curious."
Seeing that her master was dismissive, Yingbao grew a little anxious and tugged at his sleeve, "Master, please tell me quickly, and I'll tell you about the dream I had last night."
Left with no choice, Zhou Wuchang relented, "That person's father is an old acquaintance of mine, so he came over to greet me. You don't need to ask who he is; we won't be seeing him again anyway."
Relieved by his words, Yingbao decided not to tell her master about her dream and turned to go back into the cabin.
The merchant ship arrived at another large dock the following day, and the eldest apprentice said that it was the dock of Chengzhou County.
Chengzhou County was the fiefdom of that rebellious Commandery Prince.
