Making An Inventory

The next morning, Huwei Hall was already filled with military officers of various rankings above the commandant rank from White Stone Pass, as well as Qian Su and Lu Wenbin who were brought in by Yan Liqiang to observe the members of the Qiyun Protectorate. They all were listening to Tie Yunshan detailing the situation of yesterday's hostilities with invigorated spirits. Those who participated in the said fight, including Wang Naiwu and Xiao Yuman, were overjoyed and in high spirits. Those who did not participate yesterday, however, were gazing at the participants with envious eyes. Some were also filled with regret, almost to the point of beating their chest in sorrow. All they could do was blame themselves for missing out on the fight.
