"Your subject, Duke Liu Xie of Shanyang, greets Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Liu Xie bowed respectfully.

Jiang Siming smiled and gestured for him to rise, saying, "As you head to Shanyang County, who knows when we will meet again. Take care on your journey."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly be careful," Liu Xie felt even more moved.

"We are brothers-in-law, no need to be so formal," Jiang Siming patted his shoulder.
