Ah.. Greetings.. we apologize for the lateness of our reply, but your mesenger was .. delayed by some people of a less civilized nature, and he was forced to wait a few weeks while our troops cleared out these.. ruffians.
we send you our greetings, and are sending an honor guard of 10 of our spearmen to escort you messenger to you, at least untill our mutual boarder. we would recomend that you also send an escort next time. a delay in comunication could lead to hasty action on one of our parts.
We wish to assure you , the peace will exist between us at this time, and we hope the Zhou will keep to themselves, but if thee wishes to deal with them, we would be most pleased.
