Magistrate Kong watched eagerly as the "Gold Appraisal Guard" passed by, wearing the "Tiger Python Robe," accentuating his build—broad shoulders and slim waist. He exuded masculine charm and was impressively imposing. Even without seeing his body or face, moving through the street, he was more striking than the County Captain. He was surely a dragon or phoenix among men, with a distinguished family background.
Magistrate Kong dreamed of joining the "Gold Appraisal Guard," wearing the Tiger Python Robe, with a Horizontal Saber at his waist. Parading through the streets, what a spectacle it would be. It would bring glory to the Kong family and open up wide prospects.
In his early years, he attempted to join, his family working behind the scenes to obtain a chance to be selected. But early on, Magistrate Kong's Martial Arts were mediocre, being too indulged in wine and women to put in the hard work. Thus, he missed the opportunity, which he regretted for life.
