Their hearts were filled with doubts and astonishment.

Li Xuanjing nodded slightly and, looking at Pei Zhe, suddenly said, "Lord Pei, since that Joling Banquet in Furong Garden, it has been almost twenty years since we last met, hasn't it?"
County Magistrate Zhang and County Captain Wang were taken aback by these words. What, were County Magistrate Pei and Lord Li acquaintances from twenty years ago?
