Pei Yunmeng walked in from outside the door.
He had changed into a red embroidered narrow-sleeved brocade robe with a pattern of confronting birds today, and having been in Su Nan for so long, often wearing the Imperial Guard Cavalry Uniform, the sudden change into a more vibrant outfit set him off especially handsome and impressive amid the dim night.
The Medical Officers fell silent for a moment before Chang Jin was the first to come back to his senses and stood up saying, "Why has Marshal Pei come? Wasn't it said that today he would be with County Commander Li and the others..."
The trip back to the capital was about to start, and Li Wenhu together with Cai Fang had planned to hold a farewell feast on New Year's Eve for everyone. However, Chang Jin had declined, and as Pei Yunmeng had today arranged the forces to stay behind in Su Nan City at the County Office, it was proper for him to have dinner with the people from the County Office.
