And at this moment, a eunuch entered from outside, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Your Highness, the Rouran City Lord, Ashi Liren, is visiting the royal city!"
…
Ashi Liren had already entered the royal city before, but last time, he had sneaked in alone.
This time, he was accompanied by over a thousand cavalrymen, forward attendants, in a grand and imposing manner, entering the royal city in front of everyone!
The most powerful lord under the heavens was entering the royal city!
It was the first visit to the royal city by the Rouran City Lord in over a decade.
The previous city lord, Ashimo, after swearing allegiance in the first year, never set foot in Zhi Du again.
Moreover, even though they were nominally vassals of the Rage Wave Kingdom, for nearly twenty years, Rouran City had maintained an absolute state of independence in military, political, and economic affairs.
