As night fell upon Lichao City, the streets were filled with the roaring of drums and gongs, the dancing of lions and the tossing of embroidered balls, bright decorations, and the harmonious melodies of the qin.
In the most bustling heart of the city stood a towering, hexagonal pavilion as sharp as a sword. Each floor's eaves had a lantern hanging from its corners, swaying in the wind and spilling brilliant red light into the night.
This was the most famous tavern in Lichao City, Wave Viewing Pavilion, which contracted with the Dachu Royal Family to brew wine. Lichao City remained bustling at night, and the Wave Viewing Pavilion deserves credit for seventy percent of its vibrancy.
