Next to the command tent of the Shengle Army was an adjacent tent. The person living in this tent never came out for patrols or any other duties. Every day, he would simply sit outside his tent with a wine gourd, drinking.
The Shengle Army continued the tradition of the Beizhen Army: when on campaign, private drinking was forbidden unless special permission was granted. Clearly, this individual had received such permission from General Zheng.
Every evening, when General Zheng had his dinner, he would invite this person to join him. Tonight was no exception.
The meal on the table wasn't extravagant, but for a military encampment, it was already quite refined.
Zheng Fan served rice to the Sword Saint, and the Sword Saint helped Zheng Fan ladle soup from the pot.
Then, they sat facing each other and began to eat.
Halfway through the meal, the Sword Saint spoke first, "Are we going to war?"
