Bab 87: Su Song Plan

The magnificent hall was adorned with beautiful tapestries hanging from the high ceiling, and the walls were decorated with intricate murals depicting ancient battles and mythical creatures. The ten seats, five on the left and five on the right, were made of polished wood and were cushioned with luxurious red velvet. The elders seated on these seats were dressed in fine silk robes, their faces showing signs of worry and anxiety.

In the center of the hall, there was a massive throne-like seat, larger and more ornate than the others. It was made of the finest materials and was intricately carved with beautiful designs. Seated on this impressive throne was a burly man with a thick mustache and beard on his face. His broad shoulders were covered with a fur cape, and his eyes were piercing and impatient.
