Chapter 133 Massacre
Missing?!
After hearing about Ji Sheng's tragic disappearance in the northern border, Zhou Yunshu stood by the table and was so surprised that she forgot to sit down.
"How is it possible? The King of Wei has been invincible since he arrived in the northern border. How could he win a tragic victory and then disappear?" Someone expressed Zhou Yunshu's doubts.
"Don't you think about how long it's been since the imperial court provided food and fodder to the North? Let alone food and fodder, there's barely even a blade of grass to be found!"
"The northern border has not fallen during this period, entirely thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and his soldiers holding on."
Sighs echoed throughout the restaurant, and an inappropriate sneer was particularly noticeable.
"I think this might be retribution." The man's official language was not good, but it did not prevent the people in the restaurant from hearing his words clearly.
As soon as the word "retribution" came out, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, including Zhou Yunshu.
The person who was speaking had slightly curly black hair, was not tall and was a little fat. The clothes he was wearing did not look like those from the Zhou Dynasty, but instead had a slightly alien feel.
Seeing everyone in the restaurant looking at him, the man puffed out his chest and said, "You must be aware of how your King Wei massacred the city and the people in previous battles with the Tiele and Eastern Turks."
Seeing that no one responded, the man's tone couldn't help but rise, as if he had found some confidence, "War is war, the people are not wrong. The King of Wei slaughtered the people of Tiele and Eastern Turks. This is simply against natural ethics!"
"Don't you, the Great Zhou, call yourselves a nation of propriety? To be called a nation of propriety and etiquette yet to commit such bloodthirsty and brutal acts, it seems like it's just an empty reputation!!"
Before the man could finish his arrogant words, a steaming teapot hit him on the head accurately.
Everyone looked in the direction the teapot came from, and saw a handsome young man on the second floor who should have been as gentle as jade with one leg hooked on the railing and the other hand still in a throwing motion.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Kang Jingyu in surprise. She didn't expect that although his eyesight was usually poor, he could hit the target with every throw at the critical moment.
"I'm going to look at your asshole, you bastard."
All kinds of dirty words came out of those beautiful lips, shocking everyone in the restaurant for a moment.
No one would have thought that this young man who looked like he came from a prominent family could speak even more foully than the thugs on the streets.
"You bastard, wait for me! Don't walk on the road at night, or I'll push your head into the pit and shove your dick into my ass, so you can feel our hospitality!"
The man covered his buzzing head and finally recovered from Kang Jingyu's verbal abuse. He took a step forward and was about to curse, but he didn't know who stretched out his foot and he fell straight to the ground.
Then all kinds of "accidents" happened one after another. When the man was about to get up from the mess of teacups, teapots, melon seeds, peanuts, and even wooden trays and fruit peels, someone couldn't help but kick him in the butt again.
The man had never suffered such a great humiliation when he came to the river to do business. He screamed in despair and turned around, only to find that there was no one around him.
But the discussion nearby continued, "This little country from a remote corner is just so ignorant."
"Of course you do. If you want to eat fruit, just beg us. Why do you have to lie on the ground like a dog?"
"Hahaha, seeing how hospitable they are, why not just bring those Tiele and East Turkic people to live in our country and see if they can afford it!"
"Why bother entertaining them? Just hand over your country to them. They're spineless anyway!"
The undisguised laughter and gossip around him made the man so angry that he ran out of the door.
He originally thought that the Zhou Dynasty, a country that ruled with "benevolence", would certainly dislike Ji Sheng's behavior, but who knew that the people would have the same moral character as the crown prince, and none of them were good people!
Zhou Yunshu noted the man's appearance and looked towards the second floor again.
At this time, Kang Jingyu had already left the railing. The waiter in the restaurant apologized to the guests in the store. Not only did he not ask for compensation from the guests who had just caused trouble, but he also put an extra fruit plate on each table.
"Oh, so what about massacring a city?" someone sneered, "Even if people say I'm cruel, I'll still say it! Didn't the Tiele and Turks do enough to massacre the people of my northern border before?"
"If we don't massacre the city, who knows if those who claim to be civilians will turn around and change their clothes to continue slaughtering the people of our Great Zhou? I think the killing is good, it's a wonderful killing! If you really want to blame someone, then blame this world!"
"Yes, there are no civilians left in the North now." The speaker was an old man wearing green silk cloth and with a white beard. He spoke in a low voice, "Without food, they can't survive. They might have been good citizens yesterday, but today they might become rioters."
"In the final analysis, it's all because of the way things are!"
"When will the war in the north end? When will we stop fighting?"
"It would be great if the King of Zhenbei was still here, if..."
"Hush, be quiet!" Someone heard this and stopped him in time, "Prince Zhenbei has long been a traitor to the country. Don't mention his name again."
"I don't believe it!"
"This is not a matter of whether you believe it or not, but a matter of whether the imperial court recognizes it or not."
A sneer rang out among the many voices. "I don't know who would believe this. If the old general were still alive, the Great Zhou would never have reached this point."
"It would be fine even if the King of Wei was here, but he's missing now. I think now that even we know the news, the Tiele and Eastern Turks must know it too. Maybe they're mobilizing troops to prepare for a counterattack right now!"
"Counterattack!" someone retorted. "Before, the King of Wei slaughtered all foreigners he saw. Now, the Tiele and Eastern Turkic people hear the King of Wei's name as if it were a deadly demon. They dare not cross the border at all!"
"Not to mention how many people from these two tribes have been killed. They also need time to recuperate. On the contrary, the sudden appearance of the Tiger King in the North is the biggest disaster!"
"Hu Ben, what an uneducated kid! I don't think he even knows the meaning of these two words."
"Do I need to understand what I mean? All it takes is a strong fist!" The man continued, "Now I just hope the King of Qi can capture the head of that thief Chen Gou as soon as possible so that we can go to support the northern border as soon as possible..."
News from all over the Great Zhou spread in the restaurant in all sorts of ways. Although it was likely delayed for a while, it was still very useful.
When Zhan Chuan came down from upstairs, he saw Zhou Yunshu sitting on a chair with a cup of tea in her hand, looking dazed. He had no idea what she was thinking about. He had been standing behind her for almost two quarters of an hour before she noticed him.
"Are you full?"
Zhanchuan nodded. This was the fullest meal he had eaten in a while.
"Then we..."
Just as Zhou Yunshu was about to get up, she saw Kang Jingyu coming down from the second floor with his servant.
