Chapter 347 Going to Youzhou
"Don't you think about what our prince is called in the North? He's the God of War!"
"Even the Tiele and Turkic peoples, who the Zhou army couldn't defeat, were driven back to their homeland by our prince. How could he not be able to defeat a bunch of bandits?"
This person compared Ji Sheng with Zhou's army, causing dissatisfaction among other people in the inn.
"If you want to praise His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, then praise His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. Why bring the Zhou Family Army with you? The Prince of Zhenbei has been leading the Zhou Family Army to protect our northern border for so many years. Is it for nothing?"
"Why are you so anxious? I'm just telling the truth. If the old prince was really powerful, how could he be killed and hanged in the city..."
Before the man could finish his words, a tea bowl hit him on the head.
"Oh my god!" The man covered his bleeding head and looked in the direction where the tea bowl came from.
Everyone in the inn also looked at the person who took action.
Zhou Yunshu just sat in front of the table, but the tea bowl in her hand was gone.
"How dare you hit me!" The man covered his head and walked towards Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu took the hot tea from the table, and when the man came over cursing, she kicked the stool and hit the teapot on the man's head.
"I'll hit you if you want. What are you afraid of?"
The man dodged the stool but failed to avoid the teapot. Now the inn was in complete chaos because of Zhou Yunshu's attack.
The man was not alone. Seeing that Zhou Yunshu, a weak scholar, was so arrogant, some of them took benches and some took teapots. The waiter and the shopkeeper couldn't stop her.
When they wanted to teach Zhou Yunshu a lesson, Zhou Yunshu also drew out the long sword from her waist.
However, Chunque, who jumped from the second floor of the inn onto the table, did not give Zhou Yunshu a chance to attack. Before the group of people rushed up, she kicked them all away with her own strength.
"My bench, my teapot, my teacup!"
The spring bird moves swiftly, those people fly swiftly, and the shopkeeper cries swiftly.
Zhou Yunshu took out a tael of silver and placed it on the table. She said to the shopkeeper, whose face was wrinkled like a bitter melon, "This is my compensation."
"What about these?" the shopkeeper said, pointing to the stool, teapot and other items that were kicked to pieces by Chunque.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "They took it, it has nothing to do with us."
“This, this…”
The shopkeeper hesitated, and the man who was kicked away by Chunque got up and pointed at Zhou Yunshu and said, "You were the first one!"
"You were the one who defiled my ears first."
Even if her grandfather was defeated in the end, it was not something that these people could criticize or make fun of.
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood why Zhou Yunshu took action. It was for the Zhou family army and King Zhenbei.
After knowing this reason, everyone no longer thought it was Zhou Yunshu's fault.
After all, the Zhou family army has guarded the northern border for decades. Although it has declined now, it is not something that this arrogant child can laugh at.
"I, I, just wait for me! I won't let you go!"
After making these threats, the man wanted to run away with his men, but was overheard by Du Mazi who had just returned.
He grabbed the man's collar and looked at Zhou Yunshu in the inn lobby, lowering his head and asking, "Who are you not letting go of?"
"Master Xin?"
"It's me, your grandfather." Du Mazi grabbed the man's collar with one hand and patted his face with the other, saying, "I'm your grandfather, and she's my grandfather. You asked your ancestors to wait for you. Is this how you show filial piety to your ancestors?"
When the man heard that Zhou Yunshu had a prominent background, he immediately admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Du Mazi's attitude and didn't expect that he was so popular here that he even called Mr. Xin.
After the group of people were taught a lesson by Du Mazi and left, the shopkeeper's waiter cleaned up the mess in the inn's lobby. Zhou Yunshu simply took Chunque and Du Mazi out to find a place to sit.
They went to the teahouse closest to the inn.
As soon as they sat down and the snacks were served, Du Mazi told Zhou Yunshu a piece of news that she had just learned in the inn.
"Sir, this Tiger General has surrendered to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and Captain Zhou seems to be no longer in Tianwu."
"like?"
Du Mazi nodded. "There's no definite news, but if General Huben surrenders to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, he'll definitely take his men to Youzhou Prefecture, where His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is. If he leaves, then Captain Zhou won't be of much use staying in Tianwu."
Without the suppression of bandits, if the government troops stayed in a place for too long and ran out of food and supplies, they might become bandits themselves.
Officials and bandits are sometimes inseparable, especially in the northern border in recent years. The people hide when they see officials and bandits, and don't want to encounter either of them.
The situation has only improved slightly recently after His Royal Highness Prince Wei took over the northern border, but it is still far less peaceful than when the Zhenbei Palace was in place many years ago.
It was only after Du Mazi had been in the Northern Territory for so long that he realized that the Zhou family of Zhenbei Palace had such a profound influence on the Northern Territory.
"Youzhou Prefecture City."
Zhou Yunshu held the teacup. Ji Sheng had written to her, saying that he would take Pingping to the northern border before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Now Ji Sheng has returned to the northern border, and Pingping must be by his side.
It would have been fine if Zhou Yunshu hadn't come to the northern border, but when she came and knew the child was in Youzhou, she wanted to go and see him.
"Yes, Youzhou Prefecture. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has been in Youzhou the entire time. It would take about ten days to get there by express horse."
Zhou Yunshu took a sip of tea and made a decision in her heart.
"Let's find out more. If General Hu Ben really surrendered and went to Youzhou, then we will go to Youzhou too."
"good!"
Zhou Yunshu drank the tea in the cup. She wanted to find an opportunity to meet Zhou Yunqi and ask him about his current ideas and future plans.
Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi are twin siblings, and their relationship is different from Zhou Yunzhi's.
Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Zhou Yunshu believes that Zhou Yunqi will definitely stand with her.
Zhou Yunshu didn’t know whether Zhou Yunqi had received the letter she had asked someone to send to him. Since he hadn’t replied, she wanted to go and see if something had happened to Zhou Yunqi.
Then there is Pingping. Although Zhou Yunshu and Ji Sheng had a three-year agreement, they did not agree not to let her see the child during these three years.
Zhou Yunshu wanted to see Pingping, even just for a moment.
Du Mazi had his own way of getting information. After Zhou Yunshu finished her meal in the evening, Du Mazi returned to the inn with the information he had gotten.
"Sir, I asked."
"Is the information reliable?"
Du Mazi smiled and said, "It's reliable. The person I asked is the city's garrison. I gave him a lot of benefits when I was transporting goods before, and now he is my brother!"
"How do you say that?"
"He said that General Huben and his men have been escorted to Youzhou by the Tianwu garrison. They set out seven days ago. However, there are many of them and they are not moving very fast. If we hurry, we might reach Youzhou before them."
After getting the answer she wanted, Zhou Yunshu no longer hesitated, "Okay, then let's set off tomorrow morning and go to Youzhou."
