At the entrance of the Hou Mansion, Hou Yuxiao stood with about ten high-ranking family members behind him. From a distance, he saw Hou Fei and his companions returning, including a burly middle-aged man clad in silver armor. A slight smile immediately appeared on his face as he cupped his fists and slightly bowed to greet him.
"It has been many days since we last met, Leader Gui, you still carry an impressive demeanor!"
The one who accompanied Hou Fei to Zhaoyang County was none other than Leader Gui Yutang, the Xingnan Prefecture Army Commander who had assisted Hou Yuxiao in the prefectural city.
Seeing Hou Yuxiao bowing towards him, Gui Yutang quickly dismounted, reciprocated the same bow, and said while cupping his fist, "Brother Hou has now become the Lord of Zhaoyang City, performing such grand courtesy, you truly flatter Gui!"
