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

"I'm telling you to eat something. Today is your big day, don't look so gloomy."

Zhou Wu ate the meat of what he didn't know was an animal, but thankfully it was cooked in a hot spring.

"You're still in the mood to laugh? Hurry up and think of a way to escape!"

Faced with Zhou Wu's teasing, Hou Zhenghao felt somewhat helpless. Was his lifelong reputation really going to be ruined by this queen?

"Actually, my idea is that you should just give in to her and make her feel comfortable. Maybe if she's happy, she'll let me go. Oh, no, we'll have a chance to run away."

"Hmph, don't worry, if I can't leave, you won't have an easy time either."

Judging from the spectacle, it's clear that the Queen has taken a liking to Hou Zhenghao.

Hou Zhenghao was now eager to fight these savages to the death; he would rather die than suffer such humiliation.

Suddenly, the savage at the door started gesturing at the two of them, seemingly urging them to hurry.

"Hurry up, the bride can't wait and has already sent someone to urge her."

Zhou Wu's serious expression really made him look like a matchmaker.

At that moment, Hou Zhenghao suddenly saw the short knife Zhou Wu was using to cut meat, snatched it from him, and hid it in his sleeve.

"you..."

Zhou Wu instinctively wanted to stop him, but he also hoped that Hou Zhenghao could kill the Queen and then escape with him. So he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Hou Zhenghao had never felt this desperate, not even when he was fighting a polar bear.

Zhou Wu was certain he saw a hint of farewell in his eyes.

Accompanying Hou Zhenghao all the way to the cave hall, Zhou Wu kept plotting how to slip away in the chaos.

"We'll just have to adapt to the situation."

If we really can't think of a good solution, we can only take it one step at a time.

In just a short while, the cave's main hall had been decorated by the savages, who had somehow acquired wooden totems and branches to adorn the entire cave.

Although it was still quite ugly, it seems the Queen still valued her wedding very much.

"Don't do anything stupid later."

Hou Zhenghao felt a touch of emotion at Zhou Wu's sudden concern.

"Kill him with a single, decisive blow; don't miss."

Zhou Wu added another sentence, which instantly made Hou Zhenghao lose his goodwill.

Zhou Wu was stopped by the other savages and slowly walked towards the Queen with only Hou Zhenghao in his arms.

Looking at the Queen's disgusting face, Hou Zhenghao could no longer hold back. He pulled out a short knife and stabbed it towards her vitals.

All the wild men present were stunned by this scene, and no one noticed that Zhou Wu had been waiting for this moment. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he frantically ran out of the cave.

. . . . . .

It has been three days since Zhou Wu escaped from the Savage Cave. Along the way, apart from drinking a little water, he has barely eaten anything. Without Hou Zhenghao's protection, Zhou Wu doesn't even dare to get a good night's sleep.

Zhou Wu finally reached his physical limit and fainted as soon as he closed his eyes. However, he vaguely saw a figure running towards him in the distance.

When Zhou Wu woke up again, he was already in a carriage. His weak body prevented him from getting up or even speaking. He could only use all his strength to tap the carriage floor with his fingers to make a sound and attract the driver's attention.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

"Lord Zhou, you're awake."

The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Wu recognized the face.

"It's you?"

"Lord Zhou, we really are destined to meet."

Zhou Wu never expected that it would be Li Shishi who saved him.

"Miss Shishi, did you save me?"

"Yes, you're so lucky to run into you here. By the way, sir, have you run into some trouble?"

"It was a bit of a hassle, but thank you so much this time."

"You're too kind, sir. We're friends, aren't we?"

"Friends?"

Zhou Wu murmured softly.

Zhou Wu wasn't stupid. While they were talking, he noticed that Li Shishi was alone.

It's impossible to think about it with a normal brain. Let alone a woman, even a man wouldn't be able to appear in such a remote, uninhabited area, let alone a weak woman.

There must be something I don't know about this.

"Lord Zhou, have some water."

"Thank you."

Zhou Wu was too weak to move, so Li Shishi personally fed him water. After drinking some water and resting for so long, Zhou Wu regained some strength.

"Miss Shishi, what are you doing here all alone?"

This place is already outside the grasslands, and it's hard not to be suspicious if a woman is alone here.

"Oh, I'm not alone. I was traveling with a caravan, planning to experience the scenery of the grasslands. But we encountered a pack of wolves not long ago, and I got separated from the caravan. I don't know the way, and who would have thought that I would run into you while wandering around aimlessly."

Zhou Wu didn't expose the flawed reason. Since the other party didn't want to talk about it, Zhou Wu didn't want to keep asking, after all, the other party had saved him.

"Looks like we're quite destined for each other."

"Yes, it's so good to have met you. I'm just a woman, and I was terrified the whole way."

Li Shishi had the expression of a weak woman, which would surely have evoked pity in anyone else, but unfortunately Zhou Wu was no virgin.

The two continued driving towards the capital.

"My lord, we have arrived at the grassland."

"The two of them have been gone for several days," Li Shishi said suddenly with delight.

Zhou Wu quickly turned over and looked, and sure enough, it was the Green Green Grassland.

"Haha, we're finally back in the Great Dragon territory."

The grasslands are now Da Long's territory, so there must be a Da Long government office there. Now, as long as Zhou Wu just finds any government office, he can be completely safe.

. . . . . .

Capital.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the grasslands that Lord Zhou has been found."

A guard hurriedly approached Li Tiancheng.

"Lord Zhou! You mean you've found Zhou Wu?"

Zhou Wu had been missing for two months, and almost everyone had given up hope of his survival, including Li Tiancheng. So when they heard the sudden news, they were momentarily stunned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But still alive?"

This is what Li Tiancheng is really concerned about. If what he finds is a cold corpse, then Da Long will suffer a great loss.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is well, but he is a little weak."

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Go and deliver the message to Zhou Wu's residence, as well as to the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress..."

"promise."

After Zhou Wu went missing, many people were very worried, so Li Tiancheng immediately sent someone to send out the news and then dispatched a group of elite troops to the grasslands to bring Zhou Wu back.

"Remember to ensure Zhou Wu's safety."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Jian'an personally led the team, which put Li Tiancheng at ease.
