Soon, the lantern festival food was served...
Bai Qingyan looked at the plump white lantern festival balls in the bowl, held Shen Qingzhu's hand, stood up, and smiled while speaking to the soldiers: "Today is the Lantern Festival; we celebrate while away from home. The entire army together eats lantern festival food, and once we're done, we'll visit the lantern displays. Naturally... the temporary lanterns made at Yecheng Pass cannot compare to those meticulously prepared for over a month within various cities of our Zhou. However... when peace reigns in the world, we will certainly see the most beautiful lanterns every fifteenth of the month. I deeply believe... with our Zhou soldiers risking their lives for the peace of the common folk, securing the land for the people! That day will not be far off! Bai Qingyan expresses his gratitude on behalf of the Zhou populace to all of you!"
After speaking, Bai Qingyan bowed to the soldiers in the wounded camp.
