General Zheng couldn't be bothered with further charades, so he decisively sent Fanli out.
He was treating it purely as a special cultural exchange gala, Yan field style.
After the grand yangko was performed, the ceremonial preliminaries for both sides concluded.
General Zheng rode his horse forward, while the wild people chieftains dismounted and advanced on foot.
The Eldest Prince rose and fell on one knee before Zheng Fan, performing a military salute. He was indeed a prince, but he had been demoted to Captain by Lord Jingnan, so he naturally had to salute according to military regulations. This was actually one of the Eldest Prince's personal charms—he was very meticulous about rules.
This scene greatly surprised the wild people chieftains. For even a Prince to kneel before this young general meant his power was truly terrifying. Thus, these wild people chieftains also quickly knelt before General Zheng, who remained on his horse.
