”It's naturally the Son of Heaven who is greater!”

Wang Chong smiled and answered as if he didn't know what was going on.

”Good! Since Your Highness knows this, why have you done that which disregards the sovereign? We were all invited by the Great Tang's Son of Heaven and are guests, but what has Your Highness done to these guests? Are you going to arrest us all? Is this how the Great Tang treats its guests? Or is it that the Son of Heaven's words have no effect on your Highness?

”Amongst the Eastern Turks, when a master has a guest, but a servant ignores the master's orders, knocking over the guest's cups, plates, and utensils, they are completely ignoring the master. The Eastern Turks execute servants like these. Your Highness, are you this kind of servant? Or are you like that other kind of servant, having no regard for the sovereign and striking against your superiors!?” Pusan Tuoye said harshly.

The foreign Princes and Princesses behind him brightened at these words as they inwardly shouted out in glee.

There were naturally reasons Pusan Tuoye had so quickly become the leader of the foreign royals in the capital. In terms of bearing and intelligence, none of them could compare to him.

If not for so many Public Order Squad cavalry watching them, they would have cheered out loud.

But just when Pusan Tuoye was feeling smug and satisfied, Wang Chong smiled and gave his reply.

”As expected, nothing but barbaric countries!”

Wang Chong's response immediately made the face of the foreign royals freeze.

”The Great Tang is a country of 'courtesy', and when a host treats a guest with courtesy, the guest must reciprocate. When a guest comes, the host treats them to fine wine and delicacies, then, once the guest eats and drinks their fill, the guest will thank the host for their generous hospitality and then leave in a refined and unhurried manner. Perhaps it is because Your Highness is inexperienced or this is the custom of the Eastern Turks, but when guests in the land of the Eastern Turks go to a host's house, they don't thank the host for their hospitality but instead cause a scene and block up the entrance to the host's house?”

Wang Chong raised his head and glanced at the magnificent Imperial Palace.

Pusan Tuoye and the other foreign royals instantly understood, and their faces and ears went red. Wang Chong was clearly jeering at their complete lack of gratitude in blocking up the palace gates.

This was the capital of the Great Tang, the heart of the empire, and the Imperial Palace was where the Emperor discussed matters of state with his officials, an extremely critical location. For more than forty thousand Hu to gather here and block the gates so tightly that not even a drop of water could get in was truly rather excessive.

Although the Hu had also found it rather out of line, they believed in the protection of the crowds, that the Great Tang could not arrest all of them. Adding on the fact that they had the Confucian Sect's support, they had believed that there would be no problems. But who would have expected a development like this?

Not only that, they had even provoked the great demon, the King of Foreign Lands.

”Seize them!”

Wang Chong ended his conversation with Pusan Tuoye and waved his hand. Su Shixuan immediately dismounted and led a group of Public Order Squad members over to tie up Pusan Tuoye's group.

”Release me! Release me now! I'm a prince of the Eastern Turks! King of Foreign Lands, you even dare to arrest me?! This will cause a major incident!”

Pusan Tuoye finally panicked and began to struggle.

”Hmph, let's wait until that happens first!”

Wang Chong coldly sneered.

After going through so many wars, why would he be afraid of the 'major incident' Pusan Tuoye spoke of?

This Eastern Turkic Prince had no idea who he was talking to.

”Milord, what do we do?”

Seeing Wang Chong sending men to arrest Pusan Tuoye after only exchanging a few words, the foreign spy captains turned pale and broke out in cold sweat.

”If the royals are imprisoned, we'll all be punished for failing in our duties. If there's any mishap, we might even be executed!”

They were filled with regret. If they had known that the King of Foreign Lands was so iron-fisted and vicious, they would have never listened to Mochi Xiangyang and invited the royals over.

Mochi Xiangyang was more shocked than anyone else. He had only wanted to exert pressure on the Great Tang imperial household through protests, but the moment the Public Order Squads had intervened, he had completely lost control of the situation. Although he had heard of Wang Chong's many deeds, only when actually exchanging blows with him did Mochi Xiangyang realize that he had deeply underestimated the eighteen-year-old Great Tang War God.

There were no rules to his behavior, and Mochi Xiangyang's conjectures and plans that would have worked on normal people were completely useless against him. Wang Chong was fearless and unbridled, not restrained by any apprehensions.

No wonder the Great Minister told me to be cautious when I was leaving and to not provoke the King of Foreign Lands. I miscalculated!

Mochi Xiangyang felt a bitterness in his heart.

Any sort of argument felt weak and useless in the face of Wang Chong's forceful seizures. Mochi Xiangyang's face was pale and he began to wonder if he should retreat.

”What do we do? Young Master still hasn't appeared, and if this continues, Pusan Tuoye, the other foreign royals, and all the other Hu gathered around the gate will be arrested. Young Master might come too late.”
