If he releases someone right after arresting them, wouldn't that make him seem unreasonable?

Doesn't he have any pride?

Anyway, it won't matter if these people from the Central Plains are locked up for a few days; they won't lose any limbs.

Upon hearing this, Qin Susu shook her head repeatedly.

"It is truly wrong of you to subject those innocent people to imprisonment for no reason. If King Lu does not trust them, he can simply drive them out of Lu City."

Qiu Yan nodded in agreement; Qin Susu's words made sense.

"No, no, no, I can't let them go." King Lu still refused. He wanted to use this to warn more outsiders that Lu Shi was not someone to be trifled with.

King Lu paused for a moment, then continued:

"The world is in chaos right now, and the situation is not optimistic. It would be best if the three envoys did not leave the city. Just stay in the city and I will send people to protect you."

Upon hearing Lu Shiwang's words, Ling Ba and Qin Susu's expressions immediately darkened.

Qiu Yan's gaze fell on Mayi.

Mayi needs your help; she'll definitely help with this small favor outside the city.

"Lord Lu, this is house arrest!" Qin Susu was about to speak again when she heard a voice outside the door call out for an audience.

"Huyan Chanyu requests an audience!"

Qiu Yan and Ling Ba were greatly encouraged.

Who is Huyan Chanyu? Could he be a barbarian leader?

Seeing Mayi's expression, Qiu Yan was certain that it was him.

We were just talking about him, and here he is?

I can't help but keep thinking about it!

Princess Mayi's body went limp.

She had a long face.

"Father, I don't want to see him."

King Lu was clearly also taken aback.

He felt a deep-seated disgust for those barbarian tribes.

He waved to Mayi.

He then bid a brief farewell to Qiu Yan and the other two.

"You may all leave now."

With Lu Shi Wang having a distinguished guest, Qiu Yan and the other two could not linger.

Fortunately, King Lu did not have time to send anyone to 'protect' them.

The three of them followed behind Mayi.

Upon exiting the main hall, Mayi's first words were...

"Xiaoyan, you said you would help me."

She pouted, and her eyes became misty.

Qiu Yan: "Yes, I always keep my word."

Even if we take a step back and do nothing, we can still help Mayi escape from the Western Regions.

However, Qiu Yan always believed that harmony is the most important thing.

Outside the main hall, Huyan Chanyu was followed by seven or eight warriors, walking straight toward the main hall.

They were short and stocky.

They had large, round heads, thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and bright, piercing gazes.

They have broad faces, high cheekbones, and wide noses.

They have thick beards, but only a small tuft of stiff hair under their lips.

Princess Mayi couldn't stand the sight of it.

Putting aside Princess Mayi, even Qin Susu, who is obsessed with appearances, thought she was ugly at first glance.

These people wore loose-fitting robes with slits on both sides, the hems reaching level with their calves.

Their clothes were very different from those of the people from the Central Plains.

The clothes weren't a problem; what Qin Susu disliked most was...

Those people had pierced earlobes on their long earlobes, each wearing an earring.

Except for a tuft of hair on the top of his head, the rest of his head was shaved.

What kind of design is this? It's so ugly!

Qiu Yan couldn't help but glance at these people.

Their quivers were tied to their belts, making them look quite imposing.

Ling Ba kept his eyes fixed ahead, only glancing briefly at the barbarians before giving them another look.

Right now, he doesn't want to get into a conflict with these people.

The leader, Huyan Chanyu, noticed the gazes directed at Qiu Yan and the other three, and couldn't help but exchange glances.

He spotted Princess Mayi at a glance, grinning lewdly, making Mayi feel nauseous.

Upon seeing Qin Susu, his eyes lit up, and he smiled at her, a slight curve to his lips.
