If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<..."Zhu...Zhu...Zhu Xi!"
What's your mistress's name?
"My mistress... what my mistress's name is is none of your business. Hand her over right now, or don't blame us..."
As he was speaking, a patrol of Imperial City Guards came over, led by Commander He Liming.
He Liming recently broke up with his girlfriend and likes to drink late into the night, wallowing in his melancholy. So, instead of sleeping, he personally came here to wander around late at night.
Unexpectedly, trouble arose in front of Chunhua Tower.
One of He Liming's men recognized the leader.
"Tian Laosan, what are you doing here in the middle of the night!"
"Oh, it's Liu Shangguan! Greetings, Liu Shangguan!"
"Don't give me that! What are you doing here in the middle of the night!"
"Liu Shangguan, I'm here to catch a thief in my own house!"
"A traitor within the family? Who dares to sentence your Boss Tian?"
"No, no, no, you are the boss. A vicious private servant in the family has committed a crime, and my elder brother sent me to arrest him and bring him back!"
Liu Hong said to He Liming, "Boss, this man is one of Tian Zhong's men."
He Liming, however, ignored him and said, "This humble servant greets his superior!"
Liu Hong was slightly taken aback, looking at his boss, and then at Xie Dahai, whose face was icy cold.
What are you doing here now?
He Liming chuckled and said, "Sir, this humble servant has come out to ask for some wine."
Drinking was a daily routine for the Imperial City Guards, and the emperor encouraged them to drink, so the drinking culture within the Imperial City Guards was particularly strong.
He Liming was suddenly taken aback. His boss was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and his appearance here at this time... could it be...?
He Liming hurriedly bowed, but Zhao Huan stopped him.
Zhao Huan said, "Send the person into Yingchun Tower and give them some hot soup."
Before Tian Laosan could even process why the Imperial Guards were so respectful to this group, he was enraged by Zhao Huan's words.
"Who do you think you are...?"
He had barely finished speaking when He Liming punched him, shattering all his front teeth.
Zhao Huan then said, "Keep it and ask what exactly happened."
