Qi Le merely mentioned it in passing, and now, kneeling before her were all her followers.
Those who truly harbored malice towards her, constantly thinking of pulling her down from her position as Queen Ah Lan, were not here; talking about them would be pointless.
From the moment Great Chu conveyed the idea of opening up trade routes to the grasslands, those old stubborn men were happy for two reasons: first, Great Chu was the one who conceded first and they could potentially leverage this in the future.
Secondly, they were wary of her. Now that these old stubborn men's power was not what it used to be, they feared that if trade routes were opened with Great Chu, and she allied with Great Chu's forces, the grasslands might no longer be a place for them to stand.
A bunch of short-sighted brutes, completely unaware of the significance of opening trade routes.
