Altai gave an order, and half an hour later, Zhao Yu really saw a beautiful woman slowly walking into the Persian palace.
Zhao Yu was an old man from the Ming Cult period. In his early years, he was a small leader of the Five Elements Flag. Therefore, he had known Empress Han Zhao since childhood. To be honest, he had watched this Empress Han Zhao grow up.
"I, the Minister of Rites, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
At this moment, Zhao Yu was in tears, and Xiao Zhao had the same reaction as Zhao Yu after hearing this. Two lines of tears burst out of her eyes. She had a good memory, and seeing that this person looked so familiar, she thought about it in her mind and knew his identity.
"Uncle Zhao, there is no need to be so polite when you are in a foreign country."
Xiao Zhao quickly helped Zhao Yu up.
"Uncle Zhao, has the young master returned to Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately straightened his back, and then glanced at the Persian Emperor Altai with contempt: "Your Majesty is back. This time we went on an expedition to Japan, destroyed more than 300 large and small warships of the Japanese navy, killed more than 400,000 Japanese soldiers, and captured alive the Japanese Emperor Hirohito and more than 1,000 Japanese ministers and royal family members."
Zhao Yu spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that the people here couldn't hear him clearly, and Altai and others also frowned. Saying such words in the Persian Palace was tantamount to showing off one's own military strength.
Altai said: "Ming envoy, I have never been to the so-called Japan, but as the Emperor of Persia, I know that Japan is just a small island country. It is said that the Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles. What is there to brag about in destroying an island country?"
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Japan is indeed a small island country, but the territory of Persia may not be as large as that of Japan. I wonder if Persia can withstand the thundering attack of my Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Altai's face changed suddenly, and many Persian officials nearby even threatened to skin Zhao Yu alive.
"Ming Shi, do you want to die?"
Altai was obviously unable to suppress the anger in his heart, but at this moment, Xiao Zhao stood in front of Zhao Yu and said, "You dare."
After just two words, the palace fell silent. After a long while, Altai sneered, "Saint, you are a gift from the Persian Ming Cult to me, and you are my future queen. Considering that you have lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, I allowed you to meet with the Ming envoy. And you actually dared to disrespect me in front of all the ministers in the court. Do you really think I need a woman like you?"
Xiao Zhao sneered: "You, Altai, certainly don't need a woman like me, but I will never be your woman. I am the concubine of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could I marry you to be the queen? Are you worthy of it?"
"Good," Zhao Yu said loudly, "You are worthy of being a woman of the Ming Dynasty and worthy of being His Majesty's concubine."
"Your Majesty, I have two purposes for coming here this time. The first is to follow His Majesty's order and have the Persian emperor and the royal family personally escort you back to Beijing. But now it seems that the Persian emperor will not agree."
"Since the Persian emperor does not agree, then I can only convey your majesty's two words to your majesty."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhao's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up: "What did the young master say?"
Zhao Yu smiled and said: "The first sentence is to let Her Majesty eat and drink well."
"The second sentence is, wait for your man to pick you up."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhao burst into laughter. She was a mixed-race beauty. When she smiled, her whole body revealed the gentleness of an oriental woman and the wildness of a western woman. Even Altai couldn't help but sigh when he saw her.
Until she was tired of laughing, Xiao Zhao said to Altai: "Altai, you heard it all, my man will come to pick me up. I can guarantee you with my life that when my man comes, he will be followed by hundreds of thousands of troops. Just imagine that scene."
"Hundreds of thousands of heavily armored warriors carrying arrows and holding heavy axes are coming towards you like a dark cloud. Can you withstand it?"
After hearing this, Altai was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead: "What are hundreds of thousands of troops? I have everything that Zhang Wuji has. However, I don't believe he dares to start such a big war with me for a woman like you."
Xiao Zhao smiled contemptuously: "Do you think I'm just his woman? You are wrong, I am still the face of the Ming Dynasty."
"Uncle Zhao, come on, I will personally take you out of the city."
Altai immediately became furious: "Saint, you are too presumptuous. Don't think that I dare not touch you just because I have formed an alliance with the Persian Mingjiao."
After hearing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Zhao and said, "Want to touch my queen? Although I am just a small Minister of Rites, I dare not lose my chastity in front of the queen. If you, the Persian emperor, want to touch my queen, you must kill me first."
"Do you dare?"
After hearing this, Altai flashed in front of Zhao Yu. Xiao Zhao was shocked when he saw this: "You dare."
As she spoke, Xiao Zhao took out a dagger from her arms and placed it against her neck.
"Altai, you are the emperor of a country after all. Even when two armies are fighting, they don't kill envoys. What's more, the Ming Dynasty and Persia have not yet fought. If you dare to touch the Ming Dynasty envoy today, I will commit suicide here."
Zhao Yu was horrified: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. I am just an envoy, and if I die, I die. But you are the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, and nothing must happen to you."
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Why not? The men of my Ming Dynasty fight on the battlefield and expand the territory. As a woman of the Ming Emperor, even if I cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I must not lose his face. I was abducted here. If I had not been thinking about him all the time, if I had not been afraid that he would be sad if I died, I would have given up my life long ago."
Looking at Xiao Zhao's determined gaze, Altai felt helpless. He really couldn't understand why this woman was so infatuated with Zhang Wuji, and why she would rather be one of his many concubines than his queen. For a man, especially an emperor, this was a huge humiliation.
After thinking for a long time, Altai said to Zhao Yu: "Get out, get out of my imperial city, get out of Persia, go back and tell Zhang Wuji that I have 300,000 Persian soldiers waiting for him. If he doesn't dare to come, it's fine, but if he dares to come, I will let him see what the most powerful army in the world is."
"I will make sure that all the troops he brings with him are killed, and I will make sure that no corpse is left of him in Persia."
Zhao Yu sneered: "Okay, I will convey the Persian emperor's words to my Majesty verbatim."
"I just hope that when the dark clouds gather, you, the emperor, can be a little tougher than the emperor of Japan."
