"Duke Gaoyi!" Xu Xi stood up, bowed to Zhang Weiquan and said, "It's getting late. There's no time to waste. The longer the night, the more trouble there is. I'll go back and write the memorial now."
"Good." Zhang Weixian said appreciatively, "I'm just waiting to see the Duke Ding's memorial."
"Zhiji, please see Duke Dingguo off for me." Zhang Weixian said with a smile to Zhang Zhiji who was standing on the other side.
