The General's Mansion, converted from the Badong Commandery office, was brightly lit as General Niu hosted a farewell banquet for the Xia Family Village Xiangyong Army.
Some two hundred tables were set up across the various halls, while over a thousand elm-wood square tables sprawled across the courtyards. Since the commandery office lacked enough tables and chairs, Prefect Lu personally stepped in and borrowed many from the local residents door-to-door.
Prefecture Army soldiers held coarse pottery bowls, shouting and roaring as wine jars piled up like small mountains. General Niu personally carried a jar of Burning Blade liquor, cracked open the mud seal, and poured a cup for Xia Huai'an. "Prefect Xia, the brothers are setting out tomorrow, so tonight we shall drink until we drop!"
