Zhang Duanrui tightened his grip on the reins, spurred the horse's belly, and led the team grandly into Feng County.
As soon as they arrived at the tavern entrance, the person sent to monitor the tavern hurried over, clasped his fists, and saluted. "I was unable to book both side rooms. Someone was already in the room adjacent to General Bai's. The servant there said their master does not lack silver and was unwilling to leave. I feared it would alarm General Bai if I made a scene, so I only booked one room."
"Did anyone go to meet General Bai?" Zhang Duanrui asked.
The person nodded. "A few people just went in."
The Crown Prince had a sullen expression, clenched his teeth, and with hands clenched into fists behind his back, stepped into the not-so-large tavern.
The waiter was just about to greet them when he was almost knocked over by the fierce guards, who pushed him back. He could only timidly watch as the Crown Prince was escorted upstairs by a group of guards.
