As they moved forward and were about to cross a courtyard, Shao Wenjie made an inviting gesture. A young eunuch appeared ahead. Shao Wenjie and the eunuch seemed to perform a handover; the eunuch then lit a lantern and signaled for Zheng Fan to follow him.
Am I not going to meet the civil and military officials?
In Zheng Fan's original imaginings, he might have had to face the civil and military officials of the Qian State in the imperial court, inevitably engaging in some verbal duels.
But apparently, that step had been skipped.
After following the young eunuch for a while longer, the eunuch stopped in front of an arched gateway, bowed courteously, and stepped back a few paces.
Zheng Fan nodded and walked straight in.
As soon as he entered, Zheng Fan saw a female captain in silver armor appear before him.
"Envoy of Yan, please excuse the intrusion."
Zheng Fan didn't resist and spread his arms.
This felt much like going through an airport security check in his previous life.
