Siniang's inn had been closed for some time. The "aunts" were gone, and the young female agents were still in training. Letting them attend to guests was akin to using priceless calligraphy and paintings as toilet paper.
Furthermore, Xue Three, the storyteller, and A Ming, the brewer, were also absent. Naturally, the inn had ceased operations.
Fortunately, Hutou City still boasted quite a few taverns, a testament to its thriving commerce.
Upon Zheng Fan's arrival at a tavern entrance, his full suit of armor prompted the proprietor himself to come out. Bowing and scraping, he personally escorted Zheng Fan to a private room on the second floor.
Ding Hao opened the door to the private room for Zheng Fan.
Inside, a round table was surrounded by five men.
Interestingly, all five were clad in full armor, not casual attire.
The cold appetizers were already on the table, but everyone's chopsticks and bowls were neatly arranged, clearly untouched.
