Chu You turned around and reached the lifting device, through which he descended from the city wall that was a hundred meters high.
'Creak...' At that moment, a loud sound came from the massive city gates. When the gate reached three meters open, Chu You stopped it from opening any further and walked out.
About 30 meters from the city gates, the officials and soldiers representing the court and Yan Emperor had all stood upright, watching Chu You approach.
As Chu You halted two meters from them, everyone gave a slight bow. Then, an elder that was more extravagantly dressed than the rest moved two steps closer. He had a smile on his face, but there was not a trace of joy in his eyes. It seemed their long wait had greatly annoyed them.
"Greetings to the Champion Marquis, I, as an old servant, have been ordered by the Emperor to convey... "
"You're here for the taxes, isn't it?" Chu You interrupted.
"Indeed, I hope for the cooperation of the Champion Marquis."
