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

The dock was already packed with people, but fortunately the city defense forces had received advance notice and had arranged for troops to maintain order at the dock. After all, the Sage was here today, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

When the onlookers watched as carriages pulled out one large fish and half-human figures after another, they could no longer remain calm.

"Is it really a sea fish?"

"And they're all about half a person's height."

"I think I heard someone mention that before, but never mind, it's not important."

Meanwhile, in a corner of the capital, the young man from before was weeping with joy, as if he had suffered a great injustice and had been exonerated.

"See? Nobody believes me. I told you, I pulled up fish."

. . . . .

"Si Dezi".

"The slave is here."

"Make arrangements, go and take a look."

Si Dezi knew that His Majesty was interested in the giant ship, so he quickly took several guards to make arrangements.

Because he was protected by the inner guards, the city defense troops dared not stop him. Si Dezi went directly to the front of the boat. When he stood at the foot of the boat, Si Dezi and several guards were also a little frightened, realizing how insignificant they were. However, they quickly composed themselves.

"Who is in charge of the fleet?"

The sailor noticed that the man spoke in a high-pitched voice and had guards with him, so he knew he was no ordinary person and quickly went to find Zhou Wu.

"Sir, a sissy is looking for you."

"Sissy?"

Zhou Wu was still wondering if this era was too advanced, that there were even tops and bottoms? But when he got to the person in front of him, he realized that he was a eunuch.

"I am the person in charge of the fleet in Zhouwu. May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

Since the other party was a eunuch, he must be related to some noble person in the palace, so Zhou Wu could not be impolite and give others a handle to use against him.

Seeing the crowd and noise at the dock, Si Dezi thought he would take two steps forward and whisper the emperor's message. However, Zhou Wu seemed to have misunderstood, and as Si Dezi took two steps forward, Zhou Wu took two steps back.

"What are you asking me to return?"

Zhou Wu was genuinely frightened; he'd heard that palace eunuchs had a wide range of interests. Zhou Wu had even considered giving his body to Bai Wei.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing here?"

“I have a divine message to convey.”

"Oh, you should have said so earlier."

Zhou Wu realized he had misunderstood and felt somewhat embarrassed. Seeing Zhou Wu's awkward smile, Si Dezi also suddenly understood and became somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't show it, since the Sage was watching from not far away.

“The sage is about to board the ship. You must empty the ship immediately, or your head will roll.”

Si Dezi almost gritted his teeth and whispered the story to Zhou Wu, but Zhou Wu was stunned.

"I just came to sell some fish, and this has attracted the attention of a sage?"

Although Zhou Wu was inwardly complaining, he immediately ordered the sailors on one of the ships to disembark. Soon, a team of imperial guards boarded the ship and carefully inspected every corner of it. After confirming that there were no problems, they reported to Si Dezi.

"There was nothing unusual on the father-in-law's boat."

"Keep a close watch on him, I'll go and report to the Emperor right away."

"promise."

. . . .

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Si Dezi ran all the way, afraid that the emperor would wait too long.

"Alright, let's go and admire the magnificent sight of this giant ship."

Li Tiancheng was very happy today. He saw the giant ship and was also able to enjoy family time with all the princes, princesses, and his beloved concubine.

Although Li Tiancheng and his family were all dressed casually, Zhou Wu recognized them from afar by their innate kingly aura. The slightly overweight middle-aged man in the middle was none other than the current sage, Li Tiancheng.

"Your subject, Zhou Wu, commander of the Qingyang Army, pays respects to Your Majesty and greets all the princes, princesses, and noble ladies."

"So you are Zhou Wu. You are indeed a promising young man. With ambitious youths like you in our Great Dragon Empire, how can we not become strong?"

Li Tiancheng reached out and patted Zhou Wu on the shoulder. Zhou Wu felt the change in the head of state and was so excited that his whole body almost convulsed, just like after... well, you know.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Great Dragon is due to Your Majesty's skillful leadership."

"Haha, you're definitely the most eloquent of all the military generals I've ever met."

"Zhou Wu, it's been a long time."

Just after Li Tiancheng finished praising Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu heard someone else greeting him.

Zhou Wu wondered if he knew anyone in the capital. He looked up and saw a young man who looked somewhat like Li Tiancheng looking at him excitedly.

"How dare you! This is His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Zhou Wu had no reaction, the Imperial Guards on the side angrily rebuked him.

"Your subject greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The shout from the Imperial Guard immediately triggered Zhou Wu's memory; the person he had saved was actually the Crown Prince.

"Alright, Zhou Wu, let's go on board and have a tour."

"Yes, Your Majesty, princes, princesses and noble ladies, please be careful."

The boat was slippery, and Zhou Wu's heart tightened. If any member of this family were to fall, Zhou Wu would be badly injured, if not killed.

In fact, the Bull Demon King-class ship was not considered a large ship for Zhou Wu, but it was indeed quite large compared to the small sampans that were common in this era.

"Your Majesty, there's really nothing much to see here. How about I take you to the fish hold, where they have all sorts of seafood caught?"

Although Li Tiancheng was the Emperor of the Great Dragon, to be honest, he had never seen seafood before, let alone the princes, princesses, and noble ladies. They were all full of curiosity.

"Your Majesty, look, this is a grouper. This fish only needs to be steamed, and it will be absolutely delicious and tender."

Zhou Wu picked up a large grouper that reached his waist and gestured with it.

"Ugh, this is so ugly."

Zhou Wu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with a face like a peach blossom and eyes like water. She was so frightened by the octopus next to her that she immediately threw herself into the arms of the concubine next to her.

"Ninth Sister, they're all dead, what's there to be afraid of?"

The Crown Prince, having a past relationship with Zhou Wu, was afraid of angering his father, so he quickly spoke up.

"Ninth Princess, don't be afraid. This thing is called an octopus. It may be a bit ugly, but it's not only delicious, it's also fun to play with."

How can it be fun?

The Ninth Princess remained silent, but Li Tiancheng became interested.

"Your Majesty, this thing can spray ink when it encounters danger. This ink is edible, which is why everyone's mouth and teeth are black after eating octopus."

"Is it really that peculiar?"

Indeed, the world is vast and full of wonders. Not only Li Tiancheng, but everyone else found it amazing.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely make it for you to try next time."

Zhou Wu was speaking so enthusiastically that he forgot about social hierarchy for a moment.

"You can do it?"

"Of course, when it comes to food, I'm second to none in the entire Da Long."

Although everyone thought Zhou Wu was bragging, Li Tiancheng was really distracted by Zhou Wu's introduction. It was almost noon, and he had only eaten two dry pastries in the morning, so he was already very hungry.

"Then let's skip it next time, Si Dezi. Get ready, let's do it at the teahouse."

"Your Majesty, you mustn't! There are rules in the palace..."

"What ridiculous rules! We're eating at the teahouse today."

"Forehead,"

Now it was Zhou Wu's turn to be stunned.

"What is this thing? It's so ugly."
