Western State was located in the desert, barren and uninhabited, with a view full of sandstorms and Gobi, but there were also some oases full of vitality.
Xia Country and Diluo Country's negotiation meeting happened to be scheduled at an oasis.
A winding river flowed through the oasis; the scorching sun made the water's surface glisten like fish scales.
The chief guard, who was leading the way, stood under a giant spiritual tree, the flourishing branches blocking out the sun, his expression somewhat dissatisfied.
"If Diluo Country really had agreed to cooperate, they would have shown up by now, Your Majesty. The appointed time has long passed."
Zhao Huai, on the other hand, was very calm, saying, "Since Diluo Country agreed to the meeting, this matter is more than half done. The other party is just putting on a show, trying to gain the upper hand in the negotiations and become the winning side; this is a common trick."
"I hope this Imperial Master of Diluo won't disappoint."
