Chương 464: 235 Slap in the Face (Second Update)

In late March, the emissary from Liang Country arrived at the capital of Zhan Country.

Prime Minister Yuan, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and Duke Xuanping personally welcomed them at the city gate.

Originally, Duke Xuanping was reluctant to come. However, the emperor noted that if he would personally welcome the emissary from Liang Country, his punishment of copying scripts could be absolved.

Reluctantly, Duke Xuanping came to the city gate, sitting casually in his carriage, his apparent disinterest even making Prime Minister Yuan uncomfortable.

However, the arrival of the Liang Country emissary brought a renewed spirit to Duke Xuanping.

He descended from his carriage and stood calmly amidst the crowd, his demeanor as elegant as jade. One could truly understand why the emperor insisted that he welcome the emissary - his face was indeed the face of Zhan Country.
