After he finished speaking, he gave a wink, and an official quickly withdrew to prepare.

The envoy from Gumo was taken aback.

ah?

As he pondered, his brows furrowed slightly.

This shouldn't be the case. The king should have some powerful methods at his disposal, since he's already got this kid under control.

No, the king must have some powerful backup plan.

Trust the King!

As he pondered, the envoy from Gumo's gaze hardened once more.

But the conviction didn't last long.

Upon seeing the dozens of fully loaded carriages, the Gu Mo envoy wavered.

The Queen of Gu Mo looked at the little guy, "Everything was prepared according to your instructions, Dian Dian?"

The little guy glanced at it and said, "It should be fine. You're being honest."

The King of Gumo added, "It was not my wish to cancel the tribute, but Loulan and Dongyue were pressuring me so hard that I had no choice but to resort to this measure."

"If possible, I hope you can put in a good word for me with His Majesty. If His Majesty wants to punish Gu Mo, I will accept it and am willing to compensate him no matter how much it costs."

The little guy nodded. "I will tell my father."

Since I took their things, I should at least help them with this small favor.

After the little guy and Xiaoyao left with the tribute, the Gu Mo envoy approached the Gu Mo king and asked, "Your Majesty, didn't you say you had a way to deal with this?"

The Queen of Gumo's eyes were cold. "Just tell me, is Gumo safe and sound?"

The Gu Mo envoy frowned. "That's true, but this also..."

The King of Gumo snorted coldly, "What do you know! I heard that after that troublemaker left, the King of Loulan and the King of Dongyue were like they were possessed. They couldn't eat or sleep well, and they both looked quite haggard."

The Gu Mo envoy was taken aback. "That powerful?"

The King of Gumo said, "He has methods; only by treating him well can Gumo safely overcome this predicament."

The Gu Mo envoy was taken aback. "So you intended to treat him well from the beginning?"

The King of Gumo glanced at him and said, "There is a reason why you are my subject and I am your ruler."

The envoy from Gumo frowned. "Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known, I would have gone to curry favor with him too."
