Chapter 588 - 298: Liren’s love! Qin Shu’s secret rendezvous!_2
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.
Unlike Rouran City, Tianshui City, also a vassal, had to pay taxes to the royal city every year, whereas Rouran City’s annual tax to the royal family was merely a symbolic amount of less than a thousand Gold Coins.
And now, the Rouran City Lord was finally stepping into the royal city for the second time, immediately causing an uproar throughout Zhi Du, with deserted streets!
In order to express their respect for this top lord under the heavens, both Zhi Li and Zhi Yan Princess had come to the gates of the royal city to welcome him.
