"Everyone in the Chen household, come out to welcome the Governor and the City Lord!"
Chen Shouren felt a surge of joy and immediately commanded his entire household with a stern tone. Consequently, led by Chen Shouren, the whole family put on a grand display to welcome the Governor. Jiang Shijie, Jiang Zhuozhi, and their companions naturally dared not be remiss and joined in the reception.
Lin Fei observed that the Governor was a withered, stooped old man in his sixties or seventies, his steps somewhat unsteady. Despite this, the old man carried himself with an extraordinary air; his gaze remained fixed ahead, his expression arrogant, and his gait—though elderly—retained a martial, tiger-like quality. Walking beside him was a middle-aged man around fifty: Jiang Song, the City Lord of Huaicheng. They were accompanied by dozens of officials, attendants, and guards, creating a scene of impressive prestige and imposing scale.
