As they drank more and more wine, Zhang Han and the other two became increasingly outrageous in their actions. Seeing the three young men behaving this way, General Huan Yi, though old and vigorous, did not back down.

"Come, let this old man offer a toast to the Empress Dowager!"

Huan Yi picked up a wine cup with one hand, while his other hand quietly climbed onto the thigh of the Queen Dowager of Kucha under the table. The thigh was soft yet firm to the touch, making Huan Yi grin from ear to ear.

The Queen Dowager of Kucha's still-charming face was somewhat stiff, but having seen many storms, she did not make any move to resist, pretending not to know.

This emboldened Huan Yi, whose rough hands moved upwards, and the Empress Dowager's face visibly flushed.

"Haha, Empress Dowager, keep going, keep drinking!" Huan Yi continued to pour wine, completely ignoring Bai Wuni sitting next to him.

Bai Wuni was filled with rage. He had never suffered such humiliation since birth. Even if the Xiongnu king himself came, he would not dare to do such a thing.

He became increasingly convinced that Qin's intentions were definitely not pure, and that their current actions were intended to provoke him so that they could find an excuse to send troops.

"The more you act this way, the more I will endure it!" Bai Wuni took a deep breath and drank three cups of wine in succession, trying to suppress the anger in his heart with the wine.

"This scoundrel... he's quite tolerant!"

Zhang Han and the other two exchanged glances. Seeing that Bai Wuni was not falling for their trap, they decided to take it a step further and see how long this guy could endure.

*Smack!*

Ah~

"Hahaha....."

Zhang Han leaned over and planted a big kiss on the princess's fair face, causing her to gasp in surprise.

The scream immediately drew the attention of everyone present. The ministers of Kucha glared at Zhang Han with murderous intent.

Now, even Bai Wuni could no longer pretend to be stupid.

Previously, the physical contact was done covertly, and everyone tacitly pretended not to see it. But now you've kissed the princess in front of everyone. Even if they were fools, they can't keep up the act any longer.

"It is said that the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains were enlightened by the teachings of a sage. Why then is the young general so disrespectful? How dare you make disrespectful gestures towards the princess in front of me?"

Bai Wuni looked at Zhang Han with obvious anger in his voice, but his hand was tightly gripping the wine cup, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

He desperately wanted to kill Zhang Han with a flurry of blows, but he was also afraid of the Qin army's iron hooves trampling in. Therefore, his words, which should have been an angry rebuke, sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.

It even sounded like an accusation against Zhang Han for not continuing to do it secretly, but for openly flirting with the princess in front of everyone.

If it weren't for the fact that the officials present were all top figures in the Kucha power structure, he believed he could have kept quiet.

Zhang Han, however, seemed completely unconcerned. He looked at Bai Wuli provocatively, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. The two generals beside him joined in the jeering, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"The country lives up to its name, Kucha... why not just call it Turtle Son!" Wang Li smirked, uttering a sarcastic remark that enraged the Kucha people present.

Seeing this, the Queen Dowager of Kucha hurriedly stood up, trying to ease the situation. "Your Majesty, this drinking is just a passing fad. It's probably because the customs of the two places are quite different. Why make such a fuss?"

She wanted to avoid trouble, after all, even she, the Empress Dowager, had restrained the old man beside her from making any moves. If the conflict escalated, it might give the Qin people an excuse to launch a military attack.

"Generals, today is a day of joyous gathering, and it is not appropriate to get angry. We have drunk enough wine, so why don't we disperse and go back to rest?" The Empress Dowager's voice was gentle yet firm, still trying to suppress any signs of conflict.

However, Zhang Han was not buying it. He stood up, looked directly at Bai Wuli, and his provocation was even greater. "Since the Empress Dowager is so eager to serve my commander-in-chief, this humble general will naturally not spoil the commander-in-chief and the Empress Dowager's enjoyment."

Having said that, he pulled up the two princesses beside him, one in each hand, and said, "My two beauties, please keep me company and get some rest tonight."

"presumptuous!"

A courtier from Kucha could no longer remain seated. He stood up and roared, "Release my Queen Consort of Kucha! My king has been treating you with kindness; how dare you be so rude?!"

The anger in Bai Wuni's eyes vanished instantly, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself: It's over!

As expected, Zhang Han immediately seized on this trivial matter and made a big fuss about it, saying, "I knew your Kucha looked down on my Qin state!"

“Countless merchants travel within the territory of my Qin state, and they all say that Kucha is hospitable, and when they receive the most distinguished guests, they will choose to have their wives and daughters come out to accompany and serve them.”

"how?!"

A chilling murderous intent gleamed in Zhang Han's eyes as he stared directly at the minister of Kucha, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You damn wolf cub, do you look down on my Qin state?"

"Clang!"

Meng Tian kicked over the low table in front of him, stood up, pointed at the minister of Kucha, and said, "I am Meng Tian, ​​the Commander-in-Chief of the Qin State's Valiant Dragon Army!"

“My father was Meng Wu, a general of Qin, and my grandfather was Meng Ao, who was appointed as the Supreme General of Qin.”

Then, he pointed to Wang Li, who was still sitting calmly drinking, and said, "He is Wang Li, the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenshan Army. His father is General Wang Ben, and his grandfather is General Wang Jian."

"The person you just questioned is Zhang Han, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fierce Tiger Army!"

These words shocked everyone present.

The people of Kucha were filled with surprise and emotion; they never imagined that these three unruly young generals would have such a terrifying background.

Meng Tian revealed a ferocious and arrogant smile, emphasizing each word: "I'm not saying this to tell you how powerful our fathers and backgrounds are."

"Instead, I want to tell you that the three armies we command are all direct subordinates of the Grand Commandant of Qin. Our greatest background is not our family background, but that we were all promoted by the Grand Commandant."

Zhang Han grinned and laughed, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present. "Do you all know who I, the Grand Commandant of Qin, am?"

At this moment, Wang Li stopped sitting calmly, put down his wine cup, stood up, and took over the conversation, "Have you all heard of the name of the wicked husband?"

"They even annihilated the states of Han and Wei, plotting to stain the blood of three clans, and their lives are no less than a million!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gasps of surprise rang out.

"That wicked man...is he that butcher who kills like mowing grass?!"

"These...these three are actually his confidants?"

"....."

The wicked husband's reputation had already spread far and wide, and even the barbarian tribes living in their tiny territory had heard of his deeds, especially his bloodthirsty nature, which they had heard about countless times.

"It's over...it's all over!"

"These people are actually under that butcher's command! What are we going to do?!" Bai Wuni's face turned deathly pale instantly, and a chill ran through his body, as if he were naked in a world of ice and snow.

He had just rebuked the minister of Kucha, but now he was so frightened that he was trembling all over and his face was pale.
