If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

At that time, Donghu was just a kid in his early teens. If Su Yuan hadn't discovered him, he probably would have starved to death on the street long ago.

Su Yuan had already told Dong Hu about his plan: first, take advantage of the battle with the Great Dragon Army to plunder money everywhere, then find an opportunity to rescue Princess Jin, and finally sail east to Japan to establish his own power, waiting for the right moment to return to Gaoli.

Now that we have the money, all that's left is the ships to cross the sea to the east, and the rescue of Princess Jin.

"How's the situation with the ships?"

"My lord, I have done my best, but I have only found some small boats. It is impossible to cross the sea to Japan with these small boats."

Donghu felt he had let Su Yuan down, failing to handle such an important matter.

"Then let's go to Dazi."

"what!"

Su Yuan is known as the strongest man in the high-level martial arts world not only because of his martial prowess, but also because of his vision. He never beats around the bush when writing poetry. If he can't go to Fusang, he simply goes to another place instead, unlike others who overthink things.

"Donghu doesn't have much time left for us. I need horses and carriages, the more the better, and enough food. I will find an opportunity to rescue Jin Xier (Princess Jin's real name)."

"Yes, General."

. . . . . .

"Damn it, are these people rats, all they do is run away?"

Lu Da had been chasing after the person who ambushed him for several days, feeling like the other party was just keeping him hanging on. But Lu Da didn't care about that now; all he wanted to do was crush all those rats and then find the lost cannon.

The Fourth Route Army also successfully landed on the coast. When the Dalong Army appeared in the heart of Gaoli, the surrounding Gaoli people were stunned and then immediately broke out and scattered.

Without Su Yuan in the rear, the Fourth Route Army was like wolves among sheep, wreaking havoc and losing a city almost every day as it marched toward the capital.

When King Gao Li received the news, five cities had already been lost in the rear. He was discussing with his ministers how to deal with the situation.

"Quickly move Su Yuan to the rear to block them."

"Your Majesty, no! If Su Yuan leaves, the front will inevitably be attacked by the Great Dragon Army."

"What should we do?"

"My lord, what is the best course of action now? Why not surrender?"

"Yes, yes, surrender."

"Good, surrender."

The moment the prime minister uttered those words, they immediately resonated with the other ministers. After all, this wasn't the first time they had surrendered; hadn't they just surrendered a few months ago?

King Gao Li hesitated only for a moment before agreeing. With the help of his ministers, he quickly drafted the letter of surrender and arranged for the envoy to depart.

To avoid being accidentally injured, the delegation deliberately traveled by boat along the coastline, which was not only faster but also kept them away from enemies.

But fate is often unpredictable; the surrendering envoys encountered Zhou Wu's fleet at sea as soon as they set off.

The envoy looked at Zhou Wu's menacing armored soldiers and the enormous ship, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"You say you are envoys from Gaoli, preparing to go to Dalong to beg for surrender?"

Looking at the several Gao Li men kneeling before him, Zhou Wu felt a surge of murderous intent.

"Yes, sir, we are indeed envoys seeking surrender. If you don't believe me, we can go together to pay our respects to the Great Dragon Emperor."

Although the envoy was somewhat intimidated by the young general before him, he was not worried. He was there to surrender, so what could the other side do to him?

"Oh, someone come here."

"exist."

"Kill them all."

Upon hearing this, the guard was shocked, but only for a moment. He still meticulously dragged the man away, beheaded him, and threw him into the sea.

"What are you doing, sir?"

Lin Niangzi was full of questions, not understanding why Zhou Wu would do such a thing. Even she knew that the other party could not be an imposter, so did Zhou Wu really not know?

“I know they’re not imposters.”

"So what about you?"

"What do you think would happen to these people if they reached the Great Dragon and met His Majesty?"

Zhou Wu suddenly gave an irrelevant answer, asking a question that left everyone puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Lin replied.

"Of course I'll accept it."

“You’re right. After these people arrive in the capital, they will surrender to the emperor, who will be very happy to accept it, and then the whole country will celebrate. And then what?”

“Uh~~”

Lin Niangzi had no idea what Zhou Wu was going to say next.

"Then Da Long and Gao Li went back to the way they were before, each living their own lives. But one day they would fall out again over something, and then they would fight a war that wasted resources and manpower, and so on."

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Having followed Zhou Wu for so long, Lin Niangzi's way of thinking has changed, and she vaguely feels that she can guess what Zhou Wu wants to express.

"If these envoys seeking surrender don't reach Dalong, then we can successfully destroy Gao Li. This way, we can eliminate future troubles forever."

"Suck~~~"

Madam Lin was stunned. She hadn't expected Zhou Wu to think so far ahead. Although he was suffering for a while, he could benefit future generations.

"Your Excellency is wise."

Even Lin Niangzi, who was never good at flattery or saying nice things, couldn't help but compliment Zhou Wu.

Royal Palace of Gorly.

While everyone thought Su Yuan was still fighting the Great Dragon on the front lines, he quietly led a group of men back to the royal city.

The situation was becoming increasingly urgent, and Su Yuan could no longer wait.

Donghu led his army to roam the border between Dalong and Dazi, waiting for Su Yuan. If they delayed any longer, they might be exposed.

dark night.

The low walls of the Gaoli Palace were no match for those with the will to do so. Su Yuan and his men, dressed in black night clothes, easily scaled the walls and entered.

He was very familiar with the layout of the palace; he used to be a regular here. He quickly found the palace where Jin Xi'er was staying.

The lights were still on inside; the once quiet palace was now filled with the sounds of arguing.

"Your Majesty, no!"

“Baby, are you still waiting for that bastard Su Yuan? Stop fantasizing. Whether he succeeds or fails, he's doomed in the end.”

Inside, one could hear Princess Jin and King Gao Li arguing.

"You lied to him?"

"Haha, I didn't promise him anything. That was all said by the prime minister."

"You... you bastard."

"You can't escape today, where can you run?"

Jin Xi'er was the most beautiful woman in Gaoli Kingdom. Even though she was nominally his mother, King Gaoli knew very well that Jin Xi'er was still a virgin.

He had been hesitant to make a move before because of gossip, but now that Da Long had come knocking on his door, he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he acted impulsively today.

"Help! Help!"

No matter how much Princess Jin cried for help, no one responded. Just when King Gao Li thought he was going to succeed tonight, the door was kicked open and several men in black stood in the doorway.

Although the other person was masked, Jin Xi'er could easily recognize that this was the man she had been dreaming of.
