Qingzhou Manor, Outer Courtyard.
The commanders and county captains from various counties in Qingzhou were seated together, conversing jovially.
The Commander of Yundong smiled and said, "Lord Ba, your gift this time is truly thoughtful. Marshal Zhang praised it endlessly. It seems Lord Ba's journey to the Capital City is just around the corner."
"Hehe!"
Lord Ba smiled slightly and said, "In Qingzhou, with all of you accompanying me, how could I bear to leave."
"Lord Bi's Shoushan stone is also an exceptional piece."
"By the way, why hasn't Lord Chai arrived? I heard he was preparing a grand gift this time. When I asked him, Lord Chai was quite mysterious and refused to tell me."
"Perhaps the gift went awry and he's afraid to come!"
"Haha!"
Everyone laughed heartily, the atmosphere joyous.
In the Inner Courtyard.
