After Lu Yuan and his group entered the Imperial Capital's territory, they found a relatively large Post House to stay in.
When the Post House's Shopkeeper saw more than ten people pour in, his face lit up with joy. He scurried out from behind the counter, bowing and smiling, ready to serve them personally.
"Well now, gentlemen, please, come inside where it's warm. Xiaolizi, clear some space for the gentlemen to rest their feet."
The Post House's Shopkeeper was quite perceptive, stepping forward to attend to them.
