"Yes!"
The guard cupped his fists firmly, then turned and withdrew.
Before long, he brought the Qiang cavalryman in.
After several consecutive days of travel, the Qiang cavalryman was on the verge of collapse. His lips were cracked, and his face was full of exhaustion.
He had ridden hard for three days and nights without rest. Now he was hungry and thirsty, his throat almost smoking.
A guard handed him a waterskin. He took it, tilted back his head, and began gulping it down.
The Zhongqiang Tribe's chief stepped forward, slapped the waterskin out of his hands, and seized him. "Did you come from the Royal Court? What happened to the Royal Court?!" he demanded harshly.
At that moment, his heart was burning with urgency.
The Royal Court was their home base. If it had been attacked, the consequences were unthinkable!
The Qiang Cavalry Soldier said through tears, "Chief, the Han Army attacked the Royal Court!"
"They were too strong! Our Royal Court's Garrison Army was no match for them. They cut straight through us in a single clash. They were a pack of demons!"
"We only escaped... by scattering and fleeing..."
After hearing his words.
Every tribal chief, including the Zhongqiang Tribe's chief, felt a boom inside his head, as though struck by lightning!
The Han Army really had attacked the Royal Court!
Panic and worry rose uncontrollably in all the tribal chiefs' hearts.
Their tribes, their loved ones, and their families were all at the Royal Court!
And now the Han Army had fought its way inside!
For years, they had thrown their weight around along the Han State's borders, plundering at will. They had even established a Beast-Fighting Arena and a Han Women's Hall in the Royal Court.
The Han people's hatred of them ran bone-deep!
