In his heart, he didn't take Okada seriously at all.

The Chinese fleet chose to land here to see what the Red Cake Country was up to.

Sun Zhengming, the representative of the Chinese fleet, slowly walked out and said calmly, "The land of Red Cake Country? I really don't know."

"It seems this news is not widely known, so it's understandable that we don't know about it."

"However, since our Chinese fleet has already chosen to land here, there is no way to change it."

"We hope Commander Okada will be understanding and allow us to land successfully."

Sun Zhengming spoke these words calmly, but the implication was quite clear.

Although the tone was gentle, there was a sharp edge hidden in the words.

Everyone present understood the implication, which put Okada in an awkward position.

For a moment, Okada was speechless after being confronted by Sun Zhengming. He thought to himself, "It seems that... this representative of the Chinese fleet is a clever and wise opponent."

"This opponent is not to be underestimated; I must deal with him carefully."

Just as Okada was making his own calculations, Sun Zhengming glanced at him disdainfully.

He looked up at the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty not far away and immediately understood the whole story.

Sun Zhengming walked towards Okada step by step without any fear.

With a serious expression, he asked Okada, "Commander Okada, I want to ask you, what exactly do you want?"

"Now that we've met, let's just say what's on our minds. There's no need to hide anything."

"You say this is the territory of your Red Cake Kingdom, then what about the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty not far behind you?"

When Okada heard Sun Zhengming's question, he sneered and said, "Actually... our Red Cake Country has no ill intentions and does not want to make enemies."

"To be frank, I hope that our Red Cake Kingdom can establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese Kingdom."

"We should share our technologies, help each other, benefit each other, and learn from each other's strengths. I wonder if China will agree to my proposal."

“Our Red Cake Country has no malicious intent, and I don’t think this request is excessive.”

As we all know, China, thousands of miles away, is a mysterious and fascinating country.

China is a powerful nation with advanced technology. If we could acquire technology from China...

The Red Cake Country's strength will instantly rise to the top among the surrounding countries, which is precisely Okada's true objective.

He had already made up his mind, so when the Chinese fleet appeared at this moment...
Okada from the Red Cake Country was already impatient. Sun Zhengming saw Okada's sinister expression...

It's somewhat amusing that they made such a serious request.

He looked at Okada with a shrewd yet strange gaze, cursing inwardly, "Bastard... to make such a grand and noble way of talking about aggression."

"You really think you're the smartest? You underestimate my China."

"How could my great nation of China cooperate with such a despicable and shameless person as you? This is a disgrace to my nation."

Although Sun Zhengming thought this in his heart, he did not say it to her face.

After understanding Okada's intention, he laughed loudly and said, "Commander Okada... I'm really sorry, I may have to disappoint you."

"I really cannot grant you your request. I am just a small representative of the fleet."

“I have no say in this matter, and it is not within my responsibilities.”

Sun Zhengming directly rejected Okada's request. He did not want Okada to succeed in trying to take advantage of China.

Sun Zhengming looked down on Okada from the bottom of his heart, thinking him to be treacherous and cunning, and had almost nothing to say to him.

These were all just superficial responses, and Sun Zhengming was already getting impatient.

Okada from the Red Cake Country heard that Sun Zhengming of the Chinese fleet had rejected his proposal without hesitation.

His scheme failed, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He was filled with rage, glaring at Sun Zhengming with furious eyes, and said in a highly threatening tone:

"You should think this through carefully. If you reject my cooperation proposal, it means that Red Cake Country and China have no intention of cooperating."

"Then, our Red Cake Nation will not allow your Chinese fleet to land on our territory today."

"If you change your mind now, it may not be too late. If you change your mind, our Red Cake Kingdom can still accept it."

Okada still harbored a glimmer of hope; he longed to join hands with China to enhance the strength of the Red Cake Kingdom.

Even after going through many twists and turns, he felt it was all worthwhile, seeking only this outcome.

Okada repeatedly threatened the Chinese fleet in an attempt to achieve his goal.

However, he never expected that the powerful Chinese fleet would not be easily threatened by him.

"Humph……"

Sun Zhengming let out a cold laugh. He calmly looked up at Okada and said, "Commander Okada, I'm sorry, but if my Chinese fleet insists on landing here, what will you do?"

"I am quite interested in this. If our Chinese fleet were to attempt a landing again, how would the Red Cake Nation respond?"

"I've always heard that Commander Okada is highly skilled. Today I'd like to see for myself what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Sun Zhengming did not back down. Faced with Okada's threats, he showed no fear and always stood firm in his position.

Okada became even more embarrassed upon hearing Sun Zhengming's words.

Both teams immediately took their positions, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a major battle seemed imminent, with a strong sense of impending conflict.

Judging from the current situation, the Red Cake Nation or the Chinese fleet could take immediate action if they disagree.

Sun Zhengming's face was serious and his expression was solemn, while Okada also stared at the Chinese fleet with a gloomy look on his face.

The two sides were deadlocked for a time, each showing a refusal to give in.

At this critical moment, a large number of imperial guards suddenly appeared.

Its speed was so fast that Okada of the Red Cake Country was completely unprepared and had no prior knowledge of it.

Okada was genuinely startled by the sudden appearance of these Imperial Guards.

Okada's lieutenant asked nervously in Okada's ear, "Commander... what do we do now?"

"We have been surrounded by these later Imperial Guards, forming an encirclement."

A hint of panic flashed across Okada's face. He turned and looked around, realizing that the situation was extremely dire.

Just as Okada was at a loss, Yang Xia suddenly appeared.

"Hahaha……"

Yang Xia burst into laughter and walked towards Okada with a disdainful look on his face.

“Okada…I have an important question for you. I wonder if Commander Okada would be willing to answer it.”

"I've always been curious about this question and have been thinking about it, but I still can't figure it out."

Okada glared angrily at Yang Xia and shouted, "Yang Xia, stop being sarcastic and get straight to the point!"

"Do you think that just because you suddenly appeared, my Red Cake Kingdom will be afraid of you? That's utterly ridiculous." Yang Xia stared intently at Okada and asked, word by word, "Fine... then tell me, whose territory is this place?"

"Are you from your Red Cake Kingdom or my Great Zhou Dynasty? How dare you act like the master here? Is this in accordance with the rules?"

When Okada heard Yang Xia's question, he panicked.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't lose face for the Red Cake Kingdom.

So, he mustered his courage again, straightened his back, and looked up at Yang Xia, saying, "Since you want to know who this place belongs to, then I will tell you."

"This territory belongs to my Red Cake Kingdom. Are you satisfied now?"

Although Okada said those words, he still felt a lingering fear when he saw Yang Xia's dignified expression.

"Snapped……"

As soon as Okada finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw Yang Xia slap Okada so hard that he knocked out one of Okada's teeth.

Everyone was shocked, never expecting Yang Xia to be so brutal.

Okada covered his mouth, staring angrily at Yang Xia, his eyes revealing his resentment.

Yang Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at Okada mockingly, saying, "What... you're not convinced?"

"If you dare to talk so arrogantly again, I'll make you regret it."

Okada immediately felt a strong, metallic taste of blood spreading rapidly in his mouth, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

He staggered back a few steps, and his adjutant rushed forward to help him. At the same time, enraged, he charged at Yang Xia, shouting, "You bastard... how dare you injure the commander of my Red Cake Kingdom! Are you tired of living?!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never know how powerful my Red Cake Kingdom is!"

Okada's adjutant rushed forward to make a move, but Yang Xia frowned slightly and ignored him.

He didn't take the adjutant seriously at all, paying no attention to his actions, and merely glanced at him contemptuously. Meanwhile, Meng Yin, standing beside Yang Xia, seeing the adjutant about to harm Yang Xia, darted out in a flash.

Before Okada's adjutant could react, Mengyin had already grabbed his neck tightly.

Meng Yin said contemptuously, "You bastard... you really overestimate yourself, daring to lay a hand on the King of my Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This is utterly ridiculous! Who do you think you are? Get past me first!"

"Otherwise... I'm warning you, you'll be pulverized and die without a burial place before you even get close to the King."

“A beast like you doesn’t deserve to live in this world.”

After saying that, Meng Yin turned around without hesitation and threw Okada's adjutant into the sea.

"Pfft..."

Water splashed everywhere, followed by the sound of Lieutenant Okada struggling and calling for help in the sea.

Yang Xia's imperial guards and the Chinese fleet stood by indifferently, with no one offering a helping hand.

Seeing this, Okada hurriedly shouted to his men, "Quick... quick, pull him up! We can't let anything happen to him!"

Okada's men rushed to where his adjutant had fallen into the water and, with great effort, managed to pull him out of the sea.

When the adjutant climbed back ashore, he was soaking wet and looked utterly disheveled.

The scene became somewhat chaotic, and Okada's expression turned awkward; he felt extremely embarrassed.

Yang Xia crossed his arms, slowly walked up to Okada, and asked seriously:
"Commander Okada...it's still the same question, I want to know who this territory actually belongs to?"

"I'd love to hear you say it with your own ears, that it's from your Red Cake Country. So... Commander Okada, do you have the courage to say it again?"

Yang Xia took a hard line and did not give Okada any chance to explain.

Looking at Yang Xia's domineering appearance, Okada remembered that he had just lost a tooth and was too scared to speak.

Yang Xia simply looked at Okada with a complicated expression, while Okada gave him a cold glare.

"Clap clap..."

Without hesitation, Yang Xia slapped Okada several more times, this time causing Okada's nose to bleed profusely.

Meng Yin, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking to himself, "I never expected the King to be so mighty."

"It seems the commander of the Red Cake Kingdom is going to suffer this time, but it's alright, he deserves a good lesson."

"Make him realize his place and stop being arrogant and disrespectful."

"This profound lesson will likely stay with him for life and will also dampen the arrogance of the Red Cake Kingdom."

“Let them see the might of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and that the territory of my Great Zhou Dynasty is sacred and inviolable. It’s time for these invaders to rein in their attitude.”

Everyone watched with great interest, and no one stepped forward to stop it.

Okada was badly beaten by Yang Xia that day, while Sun Zhengming, the representative of the Chinese fleet standing to the side, actually cast an admiring glance at Yang Xia. Yang Xia also didn't want to waste any more time with this group of people from the Red Cake Country.

He said angrily to Okada, "Listen to me, from now on, I don't want to see you bastards again."

"Get out of my sight immediately with your men. If you continue to be an eyesore, I'd be happy to take action. Killing one or two invaders is nothing to me."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Okada was already trembling with fear.

He turned away helplessly and said to his subordinates and lieutenant, "Let's go..."

With that, Okada slunk away with his men. However, as they boarded the ship...

Meng Yin suddenly blocked their way and said sternly, "You think you can leave so easily? Hand over all your weapons."

"Only then can I let you leave safely; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Seeing Okada and his men fleeing in disarray, and Meng Yin even confiscating their weapons at the crucial moment, Yang Xia realized that this Red Cake Kingdom team no longer posed any threat.

He had already shown extraordinary magnanimity by sparing their lives. Seeing them leave, Yang Xia smiled and strode towards Sun Zhengming, the representative of the Chinese fleet.

The two men met and shook hands warmly. Yang Xia, beaming with excitement, said to Sun Zhengming, "Welcome, welcome... a warm welcome to the Chinese fleet for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"You must be tired from your long journey! I'm so relieved to see you landed safely."

"This is wonderful! I've finally been waiting for you to come back!"

Sun Zhengming laughed heartily, showing great admiration for Yang Xia, but it was inconvenient to say more in this setting.

Yang Xia turned to Meng Yin and instructed, "Take everyone back quickly; the Huaxia Fleet has been traveling a long and tiring journey."

"Now that they have finally arrived at my Great Zhou Dynasty, we should treat them well and give them a welcome feast to show the etiquette and style of my Great Zhou Dynasty."

Led by Yang Xia and Meng Yin, the Huaxia fleet returned to the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The palace was magnificent and grand. Yang Xia had already prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome the Chinese fleet and to express the long-standing friendship between the two countries.

Seeing all this, and with Yang Xia's warm hospitality, Sun Zhengming said with gratitude, "Your Majesty... you are too kind. The visit of the Chinese fleet has been a great disturbance."

"Actually, you don't need to go to such lengths. We know that the Great Zhou Dynasty is a land of etiquette and is very considerate in every way. We are already very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Lord Sun, you're too kind... It's only right that you've come from afar." (End of Chapter)
