Cheng Bi shouted toward the side courtyard.
There was no response from the side courtyard.
"Enter!"
Cheng Bi no longer waited and made a hand gesture.
Two members of the City Guard Army, wearing heavy armor, kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in first, with the others following in succession.
In the side courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in a deep azure robe was sitting and drinking wine.
This man was Li Shengjiang, the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Hall.
Li Shengjiang acted as if he saw nothing as people burst into the side courtyard, pouring himself another cup of wine, downing it in one gulp, and continuing to pour...
The crowd surrounded him.
"Li Shengjiang."
Cheng Bi walked toward him and stopped ten meters away, speaking leisurely,
"I can wait for you to finish that pot of wine, which might be the last you'll drink in this lifetime. Take your time, no rush."
Li Shengjiang downed another cup of wine, finally not pouring any more for himself.
