"It's good that the young master is back. I'm afraid we'll be able to have braised pork every meal these next few days... Let's go quickly, the young master is out. We're gathering at the training ground. The young master must have something to tell us."
"Let's go, let's go share the roast chicken, hahaha!"
The words spoken by the Zhou family soldiers were like a red-hot thorn, piercing the hearts of everyone in the court.
Commander Zhang was stunned.
General Wei was stunned.
All the disheveled imperial soldiers were dumbfounded.
In an era of scarcity where tens of thousands of ordinary people starve to death every year, what does it mean to give each person an egg in the morning?
What does it mean to use a lot of oil when stir-frying?
What does it mean to eat meat at every meal?
These soldiers who served the imperial court probably haven't eaten more than a few pounds of meat in their entire lives!
But what about now?
As baskets of roasted chicken and fatty meat were being carried away right before their eyes, they could only watch helplessly, and a sudden surge of regret and envy welled up within them...
Among the group, someone suddenly uttered a question in a daze: "Back when Commander Zhang and General Zhou had a falling out, if I had chosen General Zhou, would I have been able to eat roast chicken too?"
"turn out to be........."
"So this is the kind of life the Zhou family soldiers live."
"They all have cotton-padded coats, and those coats look really thick. The Zhou family said they're made of pure cotton inside. Their boots are made of leather, waterproof and snowproof, while we..."
"Did I follow the wrong general? We're both soldiers, so why is there such a huge difference in skill? Did I really choose the wrong one...?"
They have no grand ideals or beliefs.
They just want to live longer and eat better.
With this goal in mind, they chose a court with a strong foundation.
But what was the result?
As a result, the things they craved in their entire lives were readily available to the Zhou family soldiers. They could barely eat a few ounces of meat in their entire lives, while the Zhou family soldiers could eat their fill every meal. Why?
The prisoners of the imperial court under guard fell silent, their heads bowed in dejection, whether they regretted not choosing Zhou Zhenguang or envied the treatment the Zhou family soldiers were receiving.
Zhou Cheng witnessed everything that happened in the military camp.
Zhou Cheng saw the suddenly dejected state of the imperial soldiers.
They also saw Yun Hui and the others standing at a distance, not daring to approach.
He then saw the more than 90,000 soldiers of the Zhou family waiting there with excited expressions at the training ground.
"Young master, all the soldiers are waiting at the training ground."
"The money you requested is ready."
Black Rat walked over, holding a strange-looking object in his hand: "Are you sure you don't need me to shout for you? Will this thing even work? Will the soldiers behind you really hear me?"
"Don't worry, it's possible." Zhou Cheng took the megaphone he had redeemed with points.
then!
He stood on the training ground platform, facing all the soldiers.
He wore a black cloak and tall boots, his slender and tall figure reflected in the pupils of tens of thousands of people.
The moment he appeared, he ignited the gloom in the eyes of the Zhou family soldiers. The second he looked up, the entire audience held their breath, all looking at him with focused reverence and trust.
He looked at the Zhou family army sitting cross-legged below, raised the megaphone in his hand, and said with heartfelt sincerity: "My lords, who have accompanied the Zhou family through thick and thin."
"I, Zhou Cheng, am here to thank you for your unwavering support of the Zhou family during this time of crisis."
