Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 509 Also, send another gift.
As the court officials watched Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, depart, they noticed a troop of people galloping towards them in the distance. As they drew closer, everyone realized it was a group of Oirat people from the grasslands herding a herd of cattle and sheep!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Great Khan heard that Your Majesty the Emperor is feeding a real dragon, and has specially ordered us to bring a hundred cattle and sheep as an offering!" The leader of the Oirat people approached and looked at the real dragon, which was burying its head in a pile of food and munching away, and felt a sense of horror.

After all, the cracking sound of bones breaking is truly terrifying!

"Your Khan sent you maids yesterday, and today he sent you cattle and sheep. Go back and tell your Khan that I have accepted all the gifts he sent." Emperor Longwu looked at the herd of cattle and sheep being driven behind the Oirat general and did not refuse them at all.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I take my leave!" The Oirat general breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Emperor Longwu had accepted the gift. He quickly expressed his gratitude and then prepared to leave with his men.

Yes, it is a great favor that His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor accepted their gifts, and we should express our gratitude!

Unexpectedly, just as the Oirat general was about to leave with his men, an accident suddenly occurred!

Among the cattle and sheep brought by the Oirat people, one cow seemed to have gone mad, running around wildly. This sudden scene made the Oirat general tremble.

"Hurry up and catch it!" With the order from the Oirat general, two Oirat soldiers immediately ran towards the fleeing ox.

Emperor Longwu watched with great interest as two Tartar soldiers chased after a cow, his eyes full of amusement.

Before long, the mad bull actually ran into the area near the alligator dragon. The two Oirat soldiers also chased after the bull and arrived at the alligator dragon's side!

"Phew!"

Bang! Immediately afterward, a muffled sound was heard, and to everyone's horror, they discovered that the mad bull and the two Oirat soldiers who had chased the bull to the side of the dragon were swept away by the dragon's tail and turned into a bloody mist the moment they got close to the real dragon! A thick, bloody smell filled the air!

"Roar!" Following that shooing-away-fly motion, a loud and deep dragon's roar echoed outside Beijing! The leading Oirat general was so frightened that he fell off his horse! And his soldiers collapsed to the ground!

At the same time, a strong stench of excrement and urine permeated the area in front of Xizhimen. Without a doubt, the cattle and sheep escorted there by the Oirat generals had been so terrified by this terrifying roar that they immediately defecated and urinated, dying instantly!
"Go back. I have received the gifts from your Khan."

"Be careful when you deliver gifts next time. My dragon will treat anyone or anything that comes near me, except for me and those who possess my tokens, as enemies and food!" Looking at the terrified Oirat general, Emperor Longwu seemed not to care at all, and simply whispered a warning to the group.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, for your kindness!

"This humble subject will now retreat!" The Oirat general, who was already terrified, saw that Emperor Longwu was not going to pursue his mistake. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. After a while, when he realized that Emperor Longwu really was not going to pursue his mistake, the Oirat general quickly led his men and ran away!
As for why he didn't ride a horse when he left? Sorry, his BMW was scared to death on the spot!

"Find someone to clean up those cattle and sheep; that will be food for the alligator dragon." Emperor Longwu calmly looked at the cattle and sheep that had already died of fright and immediately gave the order to Shi Biao beside him.

"Yes...yes...yes..." Shi Biao's face was filled with horror after hearing Emperor Longwu's words. After all, the blood of the Oirat soldiers who had just been reduced to a bloody mist hadn't even dried yet! How could he dare to approach that majestic dragon now!
Of course, at this moment, it wasn't just Shi Biao who felt terrified; even those who had just watched Prince Cheng feed the alligator dragon had expressions of horror on their faces! When they saw His Highness Prince Cheng feeding the alligator dragon, they thought that the alligator dragon might not be so dangerous, and that it might just be a bit bigger.

However, the scene of those two Oirat soldiers and a cow being blasted into a bloody mist just now made everyone realize that this terrifying beast was not just a showy creature!
At the same time, everyone's gaze towards His Highness Prince Cheng was filled with intense emotion! After all, only after making the comparison did everyone realize that His Highness Prince Cheng was indeed so magnificent!

"Don't worry, just be gentle and don't disturb it, and it won't get angry. Also, just don't get too close to it."
As for the slaughtered cattle and sheep, just leave them piled up where they are, and they will go and eat them on their own! Seeing Shi Biao's stammering appearance, Emperor Longwu knew what the other party was afraid of, and immediately gave a simple instruction.

After saying this, Emperor Longwu slowly turned and left.

"Yes!" Watching Emperor Longwu's departing figure, Shi Biao swallowed hard and quickly bowed.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, countless court officials were already busy at work. After all, the matter of the new emperor's ascension to the throne was something that urgently needed to be addressed!

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Longwu sat at a long table, leisurely eating his meal. Behind him stood a reserved young woman with a distinctly nomadic air.

"Did you see what happened outside today?!" Emperor Longwu asked the reserved maid behind him in a low voice while leisurely eating his meal.

"Your Majesty, I saw everything!" the maid replied cautiously, bowing her head.

"How old are you this year?" After taking another sip of wine, Emperor Longwu asked again.

"Your Majesty, this servant girl, Qiqige, is sixteen years old this year!" the little maid said respectfully, still bowing her head.

"Hehe~~! It seems your father, like the Great Khan, is a man of ideas~!" Seeing the little maid's reserved demeanor, Emperor Longwu guessed some of the thoughts of this grassland overlord!
They simply wanted the descendants of the grasslands to inherit the bloodline of the true dragon, attempting to control the alligator dragon, or to use the descendants of the grasslands to plan a fertile fiefdom for development.

However, none of this bothered Emperor Longwu. In his view, all schemes, in the face of absolute power, were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree!

"Come, pour me a cup of wine!" Emperor Longwu looked at the pretty little maid and placed the wine cup in front of her.

"Your Highness has quite the refined taste, even now you still have the mind to flirt with a little maid!" Just as the little maid was pouring wine, a voice filled with anger suddenly came in.

The panicked noise was so sudden that, in her haste, the maid Qiqige spilled the wine on the ground. In her panic, she immediately knelt down in terror.

"Oh?! I heard the Empress Dowager is unwell. What brings you to my court?!" Emperor Longwu knew immediately who that familiar voice belonged to. After all, that voice had been calling out seductively in his ear for most of the night!

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Empress Dowager Sun, supported by her maids, entered the palace. However, the look in her eyes as she glared at Emperor Longwu was one of utter fury, as if she wished she could tear him to pieces and grind him into powder!

"What is it, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager?!" Emperor Longwu was completely unconcerned about the Empress Dowager Sun's gaze, and even felt quite pleased with himself!

"You said you would save my son!" Empress Dowager Sun scolded angrily, looking at the still shameless eyes in front of her.

"I did say I would save him! But so what? He's not dead yet! I can save him anytime!"

"After Prince Cheng ascends the throne, I will consider saving him again!" Emperor Longwu seemed completely unaffected by Empress Dowager Sun's dissatisfaction. He raised his hand to lift the little maid's chin, making her look up at the face full of collagen in front of her.
