It would be weird if the atmosphere of the banquet could get fun and noisy!
"Boss!"
A short and strong constable put his head over to Zhao Wuwei's ear and said nervously, "Look at this scene today, Sun Shaozong may not be able to establish himself in the Yamen, we..."

Zhao Wuwei has some regrets, but he recalls Sun Shaozong's words during the day, how dare he be half-hearted?
