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

"For no reason? You fucking shameless country bumpkin, beating up my people on my Great Dragon's territory, tell me why I hit you? Hitting you is the least of my worries, believe me or not I'll kill you."

Zhou Wu was furious, and the people around him praised his actions.

"Who are you? Do you dare to leave your name?"

"I am Zhou Wu, the Grand Commander of the South China Sea and Marquis of the Great Dragon Empire."

"Hmph, let's wait and see."

The envoy left a vicious remark and slunk away with his men, leaving Zhou Wu and the people of Dalong who were applauding him.

"Come here."

Zhou Wu glared angrily at the stunned guard beside him.

"Greetings, Lord Zhou."

Seeing Zhou Wu's expression, the guard knew he was in trouble.

“You are soldiers of my Great Dragon, yet you just stand by and watch foreigners bully my Great Dragon people on my territory, even in the capital, and do nothing.”

"Sir, I'm sorry."

Although Zhou Wu was not their direct superior, Zhou Wu had extensive connections in the army and dared to beat even princes, so how could these guards dare to say a word against it?

“You have not wronged me, you have wronged the millions of people of Dalong. No matter when or where, the people of Dalong will only bully others, and will never allow others to bully them.”

"Yes."

"In the future, if we encounter something like this, we won't ask who's right or wrong; we'll deal with the foreigners first."

"promise."

Although Zhou Wu's words were somewhat domineering, they resonated with many of the people present, and the crowd applauded the young leader.

Gu Family Restaurant.

"Haha, the third brother really made us proud this time."

Seeing Zhou Wu being welcomed by the people, Lu Da felt proud of himself.

"I said, those guards are your men, aren't they?"

One of them suddenly turned to the other and said.

"Hmph, we'll deal with them when we get back. They're such spineless cowards."

The general being criticized blushed deeply, wishing he could disappear into the ground. He never imagined that his subordinate would be so cowardly.

. . . . . . . . .

Royal Palace

"The Tubo envoy greets His Majesty the Great Dragon."

It was still the same envoy, but now he was nowhere to be seen with the arrogance he had displayed on the streets of the capital; his face was full of humility.

"Haha, no need for formalities, no need for formalities."

Li Tiancheng has been in a good mood lately. He receives many foreign envoys every day, and everyone sings his praises. He enjoys this sense of accomplishment.

The same rhetoric was used again. The envoys seemed to have planned it all, showering Li Tiancheng with flattery. However, the Turkish envoys seemed to be even more enthusiastic, which naturally pleased Li Tiancheng even more.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the envoy revealed his true purpose.

"Your Majesty, my Tubo King Uganbu humbly requests that Your Majesty send a princess to marry into my Tubo kingdom, so that my Great Dragon and Tubo may be forever at peace."

Li Tiancheng's smiling face suddenly turned cold. It was another marriage proposal. Back then, Da Zi also proposed marriage. Fortunately, Zhou Wu scolded the entire court and himself awake. So from that time on, Li Tiancheng established a rule for the royal family: the princess of the Great Dragon was not allowed to marry a foreign race.

Moreover, Zhou Wu once said that all the marriage proposals from other races were purposeful, simply to use this relationship to continuously extract various secrets from the Great Dragon.

Moreover, in Li Tiancheng's eyes, Tubo was an extremely backward country that he looked down on. Now that the other party dared to even try to lay a finger on his daughter, they deserved to die.

"Envoy, our dynasty has rules that princesses are not allowed to marry outside the country. This matter should not be brought up again."

In the past, Li Tiancheng might have considered it because of the relationship between the two countries.

But now the Great Dragon's strength is undeniable. The Gaoli Kingdom, which the previous dynasty couldn't conquer in several eastern expeditions, was conquered by him. The Dazi Kingdom, which had a million iron cavalry, was also destroyed by his Great Dragon. What is a mere groundhog like you?

Therefore, Li Tiancheng refused very directly, without even considering giving the other party any face.

"Uh, yes, yes."

The envoy, who had been rebuffed, never expected the other party to refuse so directly. He didn't know how to respond and could only awkwardly agree repeatedly.

Station.

"Hmph, the emperor of the Great Dragon is utterly rude, daring to refuse my Tubo's marriage alliance."

The Tubo envoy, upon returning to the post station, had already broken three or four teacups.

The main purpose of this trip to Dalong was to establish a marriage alliance with Dalong.

Under the leadership of Uganbu, Tubo has just unified Tubo and swept away all the major nobles. Tubo is now more united and unified than ever before. However, due to years of internal turmoil, Tubo has fallen far behind Dalong.

Therefore, Ugamba had the idea of ​​making a marriage alliance with the Great Dragon, so that he could use this relationship to obtain the Great Dragon's resources and secrets and allow the Tubo to develop rapidly. However, he did not expect that the Great Dragon Emperor would refuse directly.

"Damn it, aren't the emperors of the Central Plains most fond of marrying their princesses off to other countries?"

The envoy had some knowledge of the history of the Central Plains, which is why he volunteered this time. He never expected that the reality would be completely different from what he had learned. Now he has no way to explain himself when he returns.

So he decided to look for another opportunity in the next few days.

. . . . . .

Li Tiancheng arranged a banquet to entertain foreign envoys and ministers who had been sent to other provinces to report to the capital.

Because the Great Dragon's strength has greatly increased, the event was held in a very grand manner, which opened the eyes of all the foreign envoys.

The local envoys, in particular, had nothing to eat but barley and beef. When they saw the colorful delicacies, their eyes were glued to the food.

The magnificent palace, the strong and imposing guards, the graceful maids, the fine wine and delicacies—all of this undoubtedly strengthened his resolve to push for the marriage alliance. Otherwise, when would the Tubo ever catch up with the Great Dragon?

Tonight's banquet is their last chance, because after today, these foreign envoys will never see the Great Dragon Emperor again.

Just as the envoy was thinking about how to bring up the old story, he suddenly saw a figure, a figure he would never forget.

"Zhou Wu!"

The envoy glared fiercely at Zhou Wu, his mind filled with the memory of being beaten and humiliated by Zhou Wu on the street a few days ago. He had never been so insulted in his life, so he had to make Zhou Wu pay the price.

"My beloved ministers and envoys, it is a rare occasion for us to gather together today. I would like to offer you all a toast."

The emperor and empress raised their glasses to toast everyone, and the people below quickly raised their glasses in response.

After the emperor offered a toast, he announced the official start of the banquet, and then dancers began to perform.

Her graceful figure captivated many, but the Tubo envoy, who usually loved women, was completely uninterested at this moment. He kept his eyes fixed on Zhou Wu, looking for an opportunity.
