Xiong Xiao has been a political hostage in the Tang Empire for over two years and actually lived quite comfortably during these years.
No one bullied him on a daily basis, and being a lackey for the Tang Empire turned out to be far more fortunate than being one for the Dahua Empire.
Here in the Tang Empire, new nobility is restrained by law, other officials are highly honest, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and the Tang Empire is in a period of ascension, so no one has the time to trouble a hostage from a vassal state.
Other countries, on the territory of the Tang Empire, also dare not act recklessly, naturally they also lack the leisure to pick on Chu Country, a minor and unfavorable player. Everyone is extremely cautious, fearing to attract the attention of the Tang Empire; who would trouble themselves over Chu Country for no reason?
