Wu Sangui swallowed and sorted out his thoughts.
With his head lowered, he trotted into the hall from outside the gate with cautious steps.
Then he fell to his knees with a plop, knocked his head against the ground and shouted in front of many ministers: "Long live the emperor. I, Wu Sangui, am late in coming to the king's aid. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The hall was unusually quiet, and everyone's eyes were turned to Wu Sangui with different expressions.
Some people gritted their teeth, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some had expressions as calm as a lake, without any ripples.

"It took him twenty-three days to travel a ten-day journey!"
"It can be seen that he is not truly loyal to the king, but is trying to preserve his strength in troubled times, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight, waiting for an opportunity to gain an advantage! People who disregard the king should be punished severely."
