General Lan suffered severe leg injuries on the battlefield. Now, with the biting cold, his old condition has flared up again, causing him to walk with a limp. A few years ago, he was a spirited and formidable man, but now his vitality has faded, leaving him visibly aged. Although he is younger than the Beiman King, he appears older than him.
The Beiman King holds warriors in high esteem. Those who earned merit on the battlefield, despite being unable to fight due to injuries, are treated with great respect in Fox City. Before General Lan could kneel in salute, the Beiman King instructed him to rise, expressing concern for his leg injury and bestowing him with medicine. His words were full of care and kindness. General Lan, maintaining proper decorum, knelt to offer his thanks and then led Lan Ningzhen to the seats behind the Second Prince's banquet.
