A boy! 'I'm a dignified lower third-grade ...' The Honglu temple official cursed in his heart. He took a deep breath and said loudly,
"I am Liu Da, the Minister of Honglu temple. I am here to welcome the envoy from Yunzhou."
He shouted several times, but there was no response from the wind-riding boat.
The Honglu temple official waited in the cold wind for another fifteen minutes. Under the curious gazes of the people on the official road, he helplessly left.
The one on the boat was the old man. He could wait, but he couldn't. It was his dereliction of duty that he couldn't welcome the diplomatic mission from Yunzhou into the capital. The Dukes and the Emperor would blame him.
"My Lord, please get on the carriage."
His subordinate lifted the curtain of the carriage for him.
"Get on what carriage, prepare a horse for this official!"
