On this day, Zhao Yao unusually had some free time, so he took Tong Xi out for fishing. He randomly picked a spot near Swamp Prefecture to fish and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance he wasn't truly familiar with—Zheng Xilin.
As the trade conference was about to end, Zheng Xilin suddenly arrived at Swamp Prefecture. Zhao Yao didn't visit him, and Zheng didn't make any particular effort to greet Zhao Yao, this Prince Han either. Both pretended not to know about each other's presence.
Zhao Yao wasn't concerned about Zheng Xilin's arrival, nor did he pay attention to where Zheng Xilin went afterwards. Later, he heard from Zheng Qian that Grand Commandant Zheng had left Swamp Prefecture to visit other states. Zhao Yao thought the old man had left Lingnan and returned home, but unexpectedly ran into him today by the Wild Pond in the forest.
