Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
Is this what they call a land of etiquette?
Although the Xianbei men were dissatisfied, they did not dare to lash out on the spot in the face of the well-equipped and burly Imperial Guards around them.
Ultimately, they came to pay tribute as subjects.
After a lot of trouble, the Imperial Guards confiscated everything from Gumuduo and the other Xianbei people that could cause them harm, including their prized wolf tooth ornaments.
"Okay, everything's fine now!!"
After confirming that there were no oversights, one of the Imperial Guardsmen chuckled and then waved his hand.
Immediately, Jian Shuo shouted loudly into the hall:
"The Xianbei envoy, Gumuduo, along with his entourage, requests an audience with His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, the officials inside the hall couldn't help but turn their heads to look outside.
"Announce!!"
Liu Hong smiled slightly, then looked at Zhao Zhong beside him and nodded.
Zhao Zhong understood, and immediately stepped forward, shouting loudly:
"Summon the Xianbei envoy to an audience!!"
"Come on, follow me!!"
After saying that, Jian Shuo lifted his leg and walked into the hall, with Gu Muduo and the others following behind him respectfully.
"Hmm~? What's this smell?"
As Gu Muduo and his group entered the hall, the officials who were near them felt a strange odor and couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
Looking at Gumuduo, who was wearing a tattered robe, and the other Xianbei people dressed in Xianbei attire, many officials in the hall couldn't help but frown.
You are envoys of a great nation, and it's one thing that you can't even come up with a decent set of clothes, but you don't even bother to take a bath before meeting the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty to get rid of the odor on your bodies.
This is clearly a sign that they don't take us Han people seriously!
Although they didn't speak, it wasn't hard to detect their disdain and a hint of anger in their eyes and expressions.
