The common people looked at the corpses being carried away by the Beichen army and recalled the words spoken by the Daxing prefect before he led all the people in the prefecture to die together. The Beichen people held the thunder bombs that were said to be able to blow people up to the sky, and they were suddenly not afraid anymore.
They followed behind the Beichen army, shouting loudly: "The Beichen people are bandits! The Beichen people destroyed our homes! Drive the Beichen dogs out of Daxing City! We will fight them to the death! The prefect of Daxing has set an example for us. As Daxing people! People of Xizhou! Naturally, we cannot afford to give in!"
"If I can't beat that Beichen dog, the worst that can happen is death! This is at least better than being a coward! If I die, I can give an explanation to my ancestors in the underworld!"
As soon as the words "The worst that can happen is death" were spoken, almost all the people in the city took action. Daxing had been conquered by Beichen dogs. It was now Beichen's territory, not Xizhou's. They were now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. As long as they could kill a few Beichen dogs, they would be lucky.
As soon as this idea came out, everyone in Daxing City, regardless of gender, age, or whether they were physically weak or not, rushed into the streets carrying their own weapons, forming a resolute confrontation with Rong Chengxuan's army.
The soldiers of Beichen dared not act rashly without Rong Chengxuan's order, but even without Rong Chengxuan's order, they were unwilling to attack the civilians. After all, the civilians are the civilians, and the soldiers are the soldiers. The soldiers had to go into battle and fight to the death out of necessity. After all, there was no mercy on the battlefield. If they did not kill people, they would be killed by others.
But even so, they never wanted to take human life lightly, let alone harm those unarmed innocent civilians. Rong Chengxuan had military regulations in place. No matter where his army was going to attack, they were absolutely not allowed to massacre the city. This was a matter of principle for Rong Chengxuan.
But today, the people of Daxing City are determined to get the city back for the Western Zhou Dynasty. They think that if it weren't for these Beichen dogs, they would not have been defeated, and would not have become the people of Beichen.
Some even pointed at Rong Chengxuan's nose and yelled, "You bunch of bastards! You have your own home and you choose to attack Xizhou instead, leaving us homeless. Is it because you Beichen are no longer capable? Otherwise, what on earth would come to attack this desolate land of Xizhou? You are nothing but a bunch of bandits! Unforgivable bandits! You will definitely go to hell for doing this!"
This insult made Rong Chengxuan laugh. He had led troops in battle for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a kind of people. Listen to what they said, was there a single word of human speech? They were simply like scoundrels. Calling them a piece of dog-skin plaster was an insult to the dog-skin plaster, even though they were just as bad as him.
Rong Chengxuan asked the people of Daxing City, "Don't you know it was the Western Zhou that attacked Beichen first? For so many years, our two countries have lived in peace. Beichen has provided you with so many conveniences and so many good things, both food and daily necessities. Is there anything you lack? So, not only are you ungrateful, but you've turned your back on us and are planning to take over Beichen?"
"This is the first time I've seen people act so shamelessly as you. Don't be like a tiger that doesn't show its might. You think we Beichen are sick cats. Beichen can't just take advantage of others whenever he wants. Think before you speak. Don't say anything stupid. It makes you look stupid too."
"You're still calling us bandits? How could I, so full of myself, not spend my wedding night with my princess, but rush to your Western Zhou Dynasty to eat sand? Don't you even notice where you are? You act like you're being persecuted all day long. I'm telling you clearly, if you hadn't been the first to tease me, why would I have bothered to come here? What a waste of time!"
Yun Wanwan watched in amazement as Rong Chengxuan ridiculed the man from head to toe in one breath. In her heart, she silently gave him a thumbs-up. What is the art of speaking? Rong Chengxuan embodies the art of speaking.
But Rong Chengxuan had ultimately underestimated their shamelessness. The people of Daxing City were probably as shameless as the loess piled up in the city. Rong Chengxuan had said so much, and any normal person would have just shut up and moved aside. But they didn't.
Calling them dog-skin plasters was flattering them. They actually had the nerve to contradict Rong Chengxuan: "Why do you Beichen people occupy such a good place? Why do we Xizhou people have to live in the desert? Why do you have a vast land and good things? Why can we only eat loess every day? And have to endure such scorching weather? From birth to death, we are trapped in this desert with no way out?"
"You just said that your Beichen is so good, so what if we take a few cities of your Beichen? Why would your Beichen be destroyed if you lose those cities? We have a legitimate reason to attack, because we don't want to be trapped in this desert for the rest of our lives. So do you have a legitimate reason to attack our Xizhou?"
"As for why you've turned around and suppressed us so severely? You've already taken our second city. They say Beichen is vast and rich in resources, so why can't you give us some? Aren't you people from the Central Plains supposed to be hospitable and generous? So what's wrong with giving us a few cities? It's not like you'll lose out anyway. Seriously..."
When Yun Wanwan heard the breathless speeches of the people of Daxing City, she almost couldn't hold back. If it weren't for the little bit of rationality she had left, she would have just taken a grenade and blown them all up.
If she can't speak human language, she should go to the King of Hell and learn how to speak. Once she learns it in this life, she should not forget it in the next life. If she forgets it in the next life, she should go to the King of Hell again and learn it. When she learns it again, she can reincarnate. She even offended someone and was sent to see her old friend, the King of Hell.
That little mouth really was chattering away all day. Yun Wanwan listened as their talk grew increasingly outrageous, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to argue with their leader. She kept reminding herself in her heart that she was a civilized person… a civilized person… a civilized person… and she would never curse! She would never curse! What?
Yun Wanwan went right up and unleashed a traditional Chinese idiom, "Fuck your grandpa! I'm giving you face, right? Talking to your own father like that? Since you Western Zhou people are so understanding, you wouldn't mind if we were to share a kingdom, right?"
