Chapter 348 Will You Marry Me?
The northern border is vast and sparsely populated. In the past two years, there have been continuous wars and man-made disasters, and the number of civilians is even smaller.
Zhou Yunshu, Chunque, Du Mazi and their group traveled light and galloped all the way to Youzhou without encountering any obstacles or even any people.
It was not until they gradually approached the capital of Youzhou that the population gradually increased.
Unlike the city of Haizhou, the tall and thick city walls outside Youzhou City have obviously experienced many wars. They are like a majestic old man who has experienced many hardships but is invincible, guarding the land in front of him.
Zhou Yunshu and his group indeed arrived earlier than the group of rebels escorting General Huben.
Entering Youzhou City, on the wide road, in addition to the people coming and going, there are also orderly government troops.
These government troops in Youzhou City are different from the government troops Zhou Yunshu had seen in Haizhou or even the capital before. The cold-bloodedness and murderous aura of these people were cultivated through war and killing.
Not only the government troops, Zhou Yunshu also saw a ferocity in the common people in the city that was not seen anywhere else. It was as if as long as they were given a knife, men, women, young and old would immediately go into battle and kill the enemy.
Zhou Yunshu actually had not seen the northern border under the rule of her grandfather with her own eyes. Just talking about Youzhou under the rule of Ji Sheng, she looked at the determination and smiles in the eyes of the people and felt that Ji Sheng had done a great job in governing Youzhou, which had just experienced war, into this state.
Du Mazi had been to Youzhou once before and was somewhat more familiar with the place than Zhou Yunshu.
They stayed in an inn close to the city gate to settle down first, and then slowly inquire around.
Maybe it was because Ji Sheng and Pingping were both in Youzhou, but Zhou Yunshu felt a little timid when she stood by the window of the guest room looking at the street outside.
"Master, you're done packing. Do you want to go out for dinner?"
Chunque finished packing and saw Zhou Yunshu standing alone by the window, so she walked up to her and asked.
"good."
Zhou Yunshu did not change her attire and was still dressed in men's clothes.
This time when they rushed to Youzhou, Du Mazi only brought eight people except Zhou Yunshu and Chunque.
Four people stayed in the inn, and Du Mazi took the other four and followed Zhou Yunshu and Chunque into Youzhou City.
Zhou Yunshu and her group arrived in the morning, and it was almost noon by the time they finished packing their things at the inn.
Du Mazi brought Zhou Yunshu to the largest restaurant in Youzhou City. Even though the war had just ended, the people in the restaurant could hardly see the pain caused by the war.
The private rooms upstairs were fully booked, so Zhou Yunshu and her group could only sit in the lobby.
But it's okay to sit in the lobby, at least some information will automatically reach your ears without you having to ask specifically.
Restaurants, teahouses, and inns have always been the fastest way for Zhou Yunshu and her friends to get information, but the information here is incomplete. The most complete information is from brothels, so Zhou Yunshu plans to wait until dark and take Chunque and Du Mazi to the brothel to find out some information.
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei is indeed worthy of being called the God of War. Not only did that idiotic General Hu Ben surrender, but even the Tiele people sent us a beautiful woman as a bride!"
When Chunque heard this, he silently glanced at Zhou Yunshu, who was sitting next to him, drinking tea and waiting for food.
What's wrong with Tiele? Why are they so spineless? What's the point of giving away a beautiful woman if you can't win?
"It's not just Tiele. The Khan of the Eastern Turks heard that there was no one in His Highness's backyard, so he specially sent his beloved little daughter here. She is still living in Youzhou City!"
"I've seen that Turkic princess. She's very pretty, but she has a bad temper."
"She has a hot temper because she hasn't seen our Highness the Prince of Wei. Once she sees our Highness, she will definitely be more docile and charming than a whore in a brothel!"
The malicious laughter between men echoed in the restaurant, and many men present showed expressions of "you know what I know".
At this moment, a beautiful girl in red exotic clothes came to the restaurant with a whip.
It's really bad luck to meet the person who said bad things about others behind their back.
However, the princess seemed not to understand the laughter in the restaurant. She just looked around and said something to the two maids behind her that no one could understand. Then she pushed away the waiter and went straight to the second floor of the restaurant.
"Hahaha, look how cowardly you are!" The man who had previously compared the Turkic princess to a prostitute, seeing that the people around them were afraid to speak because they saw the real person, shouted: "This little girl doesn't speak Mandarin. Even if you flirt with her in front of her, I'm afraid she will think you are saying something else funny."
As he spoke, the man slammed the table and said to the people around him, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"
The man stood up, picked up the teacup in his hand, and said to the Turkic princess who had already walked up to the second floor: "Princess, can you take off your clothes and give them to everyone?"
The man's words were met with a scream as a flying knife pierced through the cup.
The princess on the second floor, who was said to not understand Mandarin, glared at the man in the hall and said in unskilled Mandarin, "Beast, pest."
"Who are you calling a beast, you stinking bitch? Do you know where you are standing? This is not your Turkic people!"
The Northern Border and the Eastern Turks are considered to be sworn enemies. Even if they were the first to provoke, it would be the princess's fault if she dared to resist.
"Da Zhou, Northern Territory, don't you know?"
"Now that we know you still dare to act wildly on our territory, we think you don't want to live anymore!"
"That's right, I've long said that none of the East Turkic people are good. What's there to be proud of about this lousy princess? Even if you give her to me as a concubine, I wouldn't give a damn!"
"Your own father eagerly sent you here to be our Highness's bed warmer, but our Highness wouldn't even bother to warm the bed, fearing you'd smell like sheep!"
"Who knows if this princess is still clean? Those Turkic Tiele women, when their mothers die, marry their sons, and when their brothers die, marry other brothers. They are barbarians who disregard ethics and have no moral codes. They should be killed and be done with!"
The public resentment and feuds in the entire restaurant were aroused, and the maid behind the princess hurriedly protected her princess behind her.
Their official language was even worse than that of the princess. They just kept saying that they were guests and they couldn't be treated like that.
The princess' eyes turned red with anger.
When going to war, one must accept defeat. They lost, so they gave away horses, sheep, slaves, treasures and beautiful women in exchange for a truce.
But this group of people didn't seem satisfied. Ever since Minge came to the northern border and entered Youzhou, she had never seen anyone treat her well.
She put up with all this. As long as she pretended not to understand the official language of the Great Zhou, these people could not hurt her. But who knew that these people would become more and more unreasonable!
"How dare you! You are so outrageous!"
Mingge swung the whip in his hand, and because he was so angry that he didn't pay attention to the people around him, he accidentally hurt many people who were eating.
"I'm here to marry your Highness the Prince of Wei. I'm your future princess. How dare you speak so rudely to me? How can you be so unreasonable!"
After Minge finished speaking, the whip was grabbed by someone, and the people in the restaurant all shut up when they saw the person standing behind Minge.
"You want to marry me, how come I don't know?"
