He had drunk a little too much last night.
When Li Ping'an opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
He rubbed his head, only then noticing that his hair had come completely loose.
Old Ox lay sprawled across him, while Run Tu hung on the wall.
Li Ping'an smiled helplessly and dispelled the alcohol from his body.
At once, his mind cleared and his spirits lifted.
He washed his face, then tied his hair up again with a hairpin he had bought from a street stall for five copper coins.
A disciple was waiting outside. When he saw Li Ping'an, he froze for a moment.
Then he hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Senior Brother Li!!"
"Mm." Li Ping'an nodded slightly.
The disciple hesitated for a moment. "Uh... Senior Brother Run Tu..."
"He's drunk inside."
The disciple looked up at Li Ping'an. "Senior Brother Li, the Tianshui Gang robbed our shipment.
Senior Brother Run Tu originally told us to go teach them a lesson.
Now we don't know whether we should go or not. Senior Brother Li... what do you think..."
Now Senior Brother Run Tu was drunk.
The disciple was clearly waiting for Senior Brother Li Ping'an, who ranked above Senior Brother Run Tu, to make the decision.
Li Ping'an glanced back at Run Tu. "Run Tu's drunk. Wait until he wakes up in a while, or go wake him yourself."
"...Understood, Senior Brother."
Li Ping'an did not know the ins and outs of the matter, so naturally, he did not want to get involved.
The disciple naturally did not dare disturb Run Tu's sleep. It was not a matter of burning urgency anyway.
Li Ping'an stretched and went back inside.
Only then did he discover that Little Girl had fallen asleep too.
