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

The scientific experiment has officially begun. Zhou Wu did not interfere with the experiment itself. However, when he discovered that they encountered some problems, he would help them with his understanding and knowledge. Of course, Zhou Wu is not omnipotent. Although he has seen many things, he may not know the details.

"Estan, you're now in charge of the lab. Just tell me what you need, and I'll find a way to get it for you."

"Thank you, sir."

From the beginning until now, Zhou Wu has always given strong support to scientific experiments, so Estan is now determined to settle down in the South China Sea and follow Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu took a quick look around the lab, saw everyone busy with their experiments, nodded in satisfaction, and then left.

It's the end of the year again. Every year at the end of the year, officials serving outside the capital have to return to the capital to report on their work. Zhou Wu, a high-ranking official in charge of a region, is no exception.

Because it was close to the end of the year, the imperial court would take this opportunity to have a good time.

Envoys from various countries that have dealings with Dalong also come to pay homage with congratulatory gifts. Especially this year, after Dalong destroyed Gaoli Kingdom and Dazi Kingdom, its strength in all aspects has greatly increased, which makes the surrounding countries even more wary, and they all take advantage of every opportunity to make contact and show goodwill.

Zhou Wu had already returned to the capital ahead of schedule. Since it was close to the end of the year, he took the opportunity to visit his close friends and offer New Year's greetings in advance.

Today, Zhou Wu booked the entire Gu Family Restaurant and invited all his close friends from the capital. Gu Xinyuan and Lu Da were naturally among those present, and even Zhu Zhiyong's father, Zhu Keduo, the Prefect of the Capital, was invited by Zhou Wu.

"Everyone here is an elder and friend of mine, Zhou Wu. They have always taken good care of me. Today, as the year draws to a close, I thank you all for coming. I'll drink this first as a sign of my respect."

It's okay to cheat and shirk responsibility on ordinary days, but since Zhou Wu is hosting today, we should still show the proper attitude.

"Good lad, you're capable of handling things on your own now."

As the eldest brother, Gu Xinyuan was happy for Zhou Wu, who had achieved this level entirely through his own efforts.

"Sigh, there aren't many reliable young people these days."

Lu Da suddenly felt sad, thinking back to when he and the emperor fought for the country, how many brothers he had, but now only a few are left.

"Your son is doing pretty well now. Although he can't compare to Zhou Wu, he's much better than those other idiots."

Although the Lu family had several sons, the eldest son, Lu Jian'an, was indeed quite promising. He was betrothed by the emperor and had a good relationship with Zhou Wu, so his future prospects were limitless.

So everyone present was quite envious of Lu Da, and then they imagined their own little rascals at home, who were good for nothing but eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

"Brothers, let's not think about these things anymore. Our children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let's just focus on the present. Now that the Great Dragon Kingdom is peaceful and prosperous, you brothers have worked hard all your lives and it's time for you to enjoy life. The winters in the capital are bitterly cold, but in my South China Sea it's warm as spring. I've left each of you a house. When you have free time, you must come to the South China Sea to spend the winter."

When Zhou Wu first established the South China Sea, he planned a General's Garden specifically for his friends in the capital. This was partly to express his gratitude and partly to thank everyone for their care and support in the capital.

"Good lad, I haven't spoiled you for nothing."

"I heard that the housing prices in the South China Sea are almost catching up with those in the capital. You're really extravagant."

Everyone was shocked by Zhou Wu's generosity, but also very satisfied. Zhou Wu was indeed a person who knew how to repay kindness.

"Hmph, you think Zhou Wu is as stingy as you?"

"You've got guts! I've seen you haven't practiced in ages. Shall we have a match?"

"Who is afraid of whom?"

That's how military generals are; they all have pretty bad tempers, but none of them hold grudges.

Just as everyone was about to start gesturing, a commotion came from outside the restaurant, and everyone curiously leaned against the window to look out.

A group of foreigners were seen passing by downstairs, but because there were too many people on the street, they blocked the way. The foreigners then began to shove and push the people of Dalong, and even women and girls were affected.

"Who are they?"

What Zhou Wu found most unbearable was that foreigners were so arrogant on his own country's territory, and his anger immediately flared up.

"Judging from their attire, they seem to be from Turkey."

A fellow military officer standing nearby explained the origin of these items.

"Tuberuk? I've never heard of it before."

"They are located to the west of my Great Dragon, in a high-altitude region. In previous years, they were plagued by internal strife, with various nobles fighting each other openly and secretly, obeying orders but not decrees. It wasn't until a few years ago, when their new monarch, Uganbu, came to power, that he used swift and decisive measures to sweep away the chaos in the country and truly unify the Tubo Kingdom."

"Then why are they so arrogant?"

"Hey, they just unified the Tubo and think they're invincible. They're just a bunch of country bumpkins."

"Hmph, who does he think he is, daring to act so arrogantly in my Great Dragon territory? Brothers, please have some wine first, I'll be right back."

He had initially thought the other party was some formidable enemy, but it turned out to be just a bunch of country bumpkins. Regardless of who they were, this action had already aroused Zhou Wu's dissatisfaction.

Zhou Wu went downstairs alone. His brothers weren't worried and continued eating and drinking. Although Zhou Wu's martial arts skills were the worst among them, he should have no problem dealing with the few small fry below.

The Tibetans downstairs were still driving away and shoving the people of Dalong.

"Get out of the way, don't block the way."

"Are you blind? You dare to block the path of a local envoy?"

The imperial guard standing to the side was also stunned. Because the other party was a foreign envoy, he was afraid of causing a diplomatic incident and did not know how to deal with it for a moment.

After Zhou Wu appeared, he pulled out a rolling pin from somewhere and charged into the ranks of the Tubo envoys, holding the rolling pin high.

"what!!!"

"it hurts.!!"

Who are you talking about?!

"Protect the envoy!!! There are assassins."

"Are you guards blind? An assassin tried to kill the envoy, and you did nothing?"

Even at this point, the Tubo people still dared to try and command the Dragon Guards. However, when these guards saw that the one who was beating people was Zhou Wu, who would dare to move? Not only did they not go up to stop him, but they even gave Zhou Wu a big thumbs up for his actions.

He cursed inwardly, "A bunch of country bumpkins, they really think they're something special. I, Da Long, just dealt with Gao Li and Da Zi, who do you think you are?"

"Well, who are you, daring to beat up my delegation of natives for no reason?"

The person inside the sedan chair finally couldn't help but show himself. He was a typical ruddy-faced man from the plateau, but for some reason he was wearing a dragon robe, which made him look somewhat out of place.
