Originally, Ninth Master Lee, along with some other officials who sincerely admired Song Chongjin and were worried he might drink too much and cause embarrassment for Great Chu, saw Prince Bayar's malicious intent and tacitly gathered around.
With just a few words, they dispersed those people, tackling a group from the Grasslands together when one couldn't withstand alone.
In no time, several people around Bayar were taken away, and coincidentally, they all seemed to be those with a decent alcohol tolerance.
Isn't that obvious? When Song Chongjin invited the men from the Grasslands to try the Great Chu's fine wines, those who loved wine caught the officials' attention.
Therefore, they didn't randomly pull people aside but specifically chose those familiar faces.
Prince Bayar was unaware, only assuming it was coincidental; although displeased, he knew that if he caused trouble at this event, even his parents might not be able to protect him.
