Chapter 436 One punch sends the Moon Kingdom's Great General flying!
Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow and praised, "You're quite the man, but thank you, no need. You're empty-handed, and I'll be empty-handed too, so that if you lose, your Third Prince won't deny it!"
Yue Chuhe's face darkened even more.
"Our Yue Kingdom's Great General is upright and honorable. Seeing that you are a woman, he intentionally yielded to you. And yet you turn around and bite us, Yue Kingdom! We, Yue Kingdom, have finally witnessed the true hospitality of your Great Zhou!"
Shen Lanxi: "Our Great Zhou's way of treating guests is to friendly nations. As for unfriendly people, we in Great Zhou do not mind resorting to force!"
“You…” Yue Chuhe was once again speechless with anger.
"Don't be too arrogant. If a fight really breaks out, you'll regret it and beg for mercy!" Yue Chuhe was very familiar with the general's combat strength. This time, he brought the most skilled general in their Yue Kingdom to the Great Zhou.
At that time, the Great Zhou will surely lose face!
"What are you standing there for? Let's get down here and see what real skills are!" Shen Lanxi glanced at Zhou Ruyuan, stopping him with her eyes.
The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released. To still be thinking of reconciliation now is to be a coward.
He suffered consecutive defeats in Dongchuan and the Northwest, and that's how he lost!
"Start!" Che Mingyuan shouted, then retreated to the side, having accomplished his mission.
The Great General of the Moon Kingdom didn't take Shen Lanxi seriously at all. She was just a little woman, her waist wasn't even as wide as his palm. He was afraid that with a wave of his hand, he could break her arms and legs.
A loud bang
Before anyone could react, the Moon Kingdom's general had already been thrown five or six meters away, before crashing heavily to the ground.
Yue Chuhe: "..."
It's fake, it must be fake!
The Great General of the Moon Kingdom had always looked down on Shen Lanxi and was rather arrogant. When Shen Lanxi made her move, he did not raise his hand to defend himself.
The purpose was to show the people of Da Zhou the physique of the strong men of their Yue Kingdom, and to let this ignorant young woman see the power of the men of their Yue Kingdom.
I never expected that I would be the one blasted away!
It's broken, my shoulder blade is definitely broken, and I can't use my left arm anymore. My head hit the ground when it hit the ground, and now my head is buzzing.
How could a woman have such strength?
Could she be a man in disguise?
To save face, the Moon Kingdom's general gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet. After standing up, his burly body swayed a couple of times, giving him a rather imposing appearance, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"When the Duke of Protectorate fought against our God of War, the God of War lost. What is the Grand General of the Moon Kingdom?"
"Ridiculous, he even compared himself to the God of War before?"
"The last person who wanted to defeat the Duke of Protectorate is still lying in bed."
Zhou Ruyuan's face darkened when he heard the conversation.
The people, seemingly reminded by someone, quickly changed the subject.
"The Duke of Protectorate successively quelled the rebellions in Dongchuan and the Northwest, forcing the three Turkic tribes to beg for mercy. What is the Yue Kingdom anyway?!"
The last dismissive remark immediately changed the Yue Kingdom envoy's expression.
Shen Lanxi's voice was deep: "Still want to compete?"
Moon Kingdom General: "Compete!"
The Yue Kingdom envoy did not want to lose face. Even though they were already embarrassed, continuing to compare would only make them more humiliated.
They can still retain a shred of dignity.
“The contest between the envoys of the two countries should be stopped when the point is reached. If blood is drawn, it will be difficult for your Great Zhou to explain!” The Yue Kingdom envoy whispered to Zhou Ruyuan.
Zhou Ruyuan stepped forward: "Today's competition has no winner or loser. The envoy from Yue Kingdom is exhausted from his journey and is not in good health. If he wishes to continue the competition after he has recovered, we can reschedule!"
The Yue Kingdom envoy pulled Yue Chuhe aside and whispered something to her. Yue Chuhe couldn't bring herself to do it, so she snorted and went into the post station.
The envoy from the Moon Kingdom hurriedly followed.
With no more excitement to be seen, the crowd dispersed in a flurry.
“Lanxi…” Zhou Ruyuan called out to Shen Lanxi as she turned around.
"Father asked us to receive the envoys so that we could be on good terms with them, not offend them."
Shen Lanxi looked at him coldly: "King Zhennan, I think you should not be the God of War, but the peace envoy. When war breaks out again, we will ask you to negotiate peace. You will definitely cede territory and pay reparations, and make us, the Great Zhou, lose face."
Zhou Ruyuan's face was ashen, and he clenched his fists angrily: "If we offend the Yue Kingdom, they will cut off our food supplies for next year, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will have no food to eat. Can you bear the consequences of such a disaster?"
Shen Lanxi scoffed coldly: "If humiliation can bring peace, then do the same to the two envoys sent by the traitors. Let's see if His Majesty will appreciate your approach!"
Zhou Ruyuan froze, then his face turned ashen.
How can the methods for treating diplomatic relations between two countries be the same as those for dealing with treacherous officials and rebels?
Shen Lanxi is clearly making unfounded claims!
"Since you're so tough, if the Yue Kingdom really uses grain as leverage, let's see how you explain yourself to the Emperor!" Zhou Ruyuan turned and left.
...
Yue Chuhe entered the room and started smashing things.
"Go ask around and see if what they're saying is true."
"If they dare to lie to me, when they enter the palace tomorrow, I, the prince, will make sure the Emperor of Great Zhou kills that vile woman!"
The accompanying officials quickly went out to inquire.
Two hours later, details of Shen Lanxi's various great achievements were delivered to Yue Chuhe.
Yue Chuhe was speechless with astonishment.
"She was actually a discarded woman?"
"That war god is her ex-husband?"
"She also conquered Dongchuan and the Northwest, which even the God of War couldn't conquer?"
"How could the Great Zhou War God be so blind?"
"General, how does Shen Lanxi's combat strength compare to yours?"
The Grand General of the Moon Kingdom lowered his head in shame: "I am ashamed of my inferiority!"
Yue Chuhe did some mental calculations. Apart from the fact that she was an abandoned woman, everything else was fine.
If this woman were married as a concubine, it would surely intimidate those restless clowns below.
The next day, when Emperor Renxiao met with the envoys, Yue Chuhe, after presenting his gifts, suddenly uttered some startling words.
"Yue Chuhe fell in love with Shen Lanxi at first sight yesterday. I humbly request Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou to grant him your wish!"
The entire court was silent!
Let them take the giant stone that stabilized the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Moon Kingdom?
Your Majesty's most trusted and relied-upon minister has gone to another country?
The powerful Duke of Protectorate, going to another country? Whose country would he be protecting?
How dare you, you brat from the Moon Kingdom, speak so arrogantly!
The court officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never been so united!
Emperor Renxiao's face darkened as he asked, "Lanxi, what's going on?"
Shen Lanxi stepped forward and bluntly pointed out: "It's probably because the Third Prince of Yue humiliated the Yue Kingdom envoy at the post station yesterday, and he's just retaliating!"
Emperor Renxiao: "Is that so?"
Yue Chuhe stood up and argued, "No, it's that this prince truly loves you and wants to marry you."
Shen Lanxi scoffed: "There are plenty of people who like me, so I have to marry them all?"
In a single sentence, Shen Lanxi shifted her focus from matters of national importance to matters of personal affection.
Emperor Renxiao smiled and said, "Since this is your private matter, you can resolve it privately after court. If you cannot resolve it, then come to me for mediation."
Yue Chuhe wanted to say something, but was pulled back by the accompanying envoy and could only reluctantly step aside.
