Li Xian thought to himself, "Well, I'm no saint; everyone has their own fate, so let it be." He drank several sips by himself.
Hong Dexin and Wang Jue sneered inwardly, both thinking, "With such a thin face, you dare to show off." With a few orders, the team set out swiftly and reached the shore. Hong Dexin suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Li, I'm straightforward by nature, not very versed in worldly affairs, and often get reprimanded for it. If I had offended you during this fortnight, please don't take it to heart."
Hong Dexin patted his chest and said, "Just now, I stopped the soldiers from drinking because it's the rule, fearing it might delay important tasks. I hold no intention of opposing Brother Li. Also, drinking with these soldiers, what's the fun? If Brother Li wants a drink, why not board the ship? During this time, we brothers can have a good drink together?"
