Why Did the Prince of Dai Give You All Six Cities?
Xie Cheng'en frowned and said:
Isn't what we're doing inappropriate?
"With so many people coming to the War God Hall, what if we accidentally let it slip when we get back?"
Zhou Wanwan said:
"What does it matter? The army needs supplies and weapons; it's only natural."
They said war was imminent and supplies were urgently needed.
Generals from several countries quickly received the news and began sending messages back to their own countries.
The generals asked, "I wonder which country provided the most supplies this time?"
The general from Great Qi said, "Our Great Qi has always given the most, and this time is no exception."
The Great Xia general laughed heartily and said, "Our Great Xia naturally gives quite a lot as well."
The Mobei Uyghur curled his lip and said:
"I'm afraid we'll be giving the least again."
Alas! If we really rely on our Mobei King, the entire army will probably starve to death.
The Great Qi general said:
"It's alright, we're all brother units."
If anything happens, we can help you out.
Besides, we can still farm and take on some tasks.
General Mobei nodded; the relationship between the various units was now very good.
Zhou Wanwan quickly led them to the War God Hall.
This War God Hall has been transformed into a new city.
The area is surrounded by various shops, bustling with people.
As soon as they entered the teahouse, they overheard people saying, "The second floor opened yesterday, and the treasures there are much more valuable than those on the first floor."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Look at him, he found a jade thumb ring on the second floor yesterday, and I heard it sold for over 10,000 taels of silver."
The man, carrying a fan, walked into the teahouse and found a seat.
He smiled and said, "Yes, that's true. That jade thumb ring is imperial green, very valuable."
Someone whispered, "I heard that someone found a box of pearls inside yesterday. Each pearl was the size of a pea, and they're very valuable."
"Pshaw! A whole box of pearls? How is that possible?"
Princess Jianing walked in from outside and said:
"What's impossible? I'm the one who found those pearls in the box."
The War God Hall is pretty good; you can definitely find things there. The pearl necklace made from that box of pearls is really beautiful.
Princess Jianing looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smug expression and said, "Oh! Isn't this Zhou Wanwan? Where have you been making your fortune lately?"
Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "It's a long story! I've been really unlucky lately, I've been locked up in Great Qi."
Princess Jianing laughed loudly and said, "I knew it! What were you doing in business, a little girl like you? Now you're getting your comeuppance!"
"Yes, yes, of course not as good as your business."
When it came to doing business, Princess Jianing said with great pride:
When it comes to doing business, you're naturally no match for me.
Now I own shops in every town here, and my business is thriving.
Shangguan Wan'er sneered, "She's just a country bumpkin, a peasant, how could she compare to you?"
Zhou Lan, who was standing nearby, said, "What does she know about business? She'd be better off going to the War God Hall like we are; we're bound to gain something there."
Zhou Min smiled faintly and said, "The War God Hall has indeed accumulated quite a few things recently, it's definitely worth a visit."
No one knows how many treasures are inside the War God Hall.
All I know is that the War God Hall is extremely large; the first floor alone can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and now the second floor is even more outrageously large.
However, once you enter the second level, you'll find all sorts of traps and mechanisms, as well as various treasures.
Zhou Min was lucky; a while ago, she found a box in the War God's Tomb. Inside the box were several gold hairpins, 10 taels of gold, and a few rings.
This was an unexpected surprise.
The entire teahouse was filled with talk of the War God Hall's spoils, and everyone's hearts were itching to try it themselves.
"Tell me, who put these things in the War God's Tomb?"
"Do you think it might have been dropped by the old war god?"
"Are you kidding me? Don't scare me. Why would the old war god release these things?"
I always felt there was something strange about this tomb.
"Hey! Who says otherwise! Who cares! As long as I can make money, I'm thinking of going in and taking a look too."
"But the tomb is so dangerous, what if something happens?"
"I plan to buy some protective gear and hire a few guards. The guards here are highly skilled, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"I heard there are zombies in the tomb, and those zombies are very powerful, so you'd better be careful!"
Princess Jianing laughed heartily, "What zongzi? These people just love to believe rumors."
Shangguan Wan'er was standing next to her, nodded and said, "Isn't it good that we don't need Zhou Wanwan's guards anymore?"
Zhou Wanwan ignored them and was about to leave when she heard Zhou Min Zhou Wanwan to her, "Grandma says she wants to see you. Come with me to the inn!"
Zhou Wanwan sneered, "I'm not going!"
That old woman is truly a persistent ghost.
They followed me from the capital to the border, and I still don't know what they're up to!
Shangguan Wan'er said, "Zhou Wanwan, isn't she your grandmother? She's also the current Imperial Advisor. It's a sign of respect for you that she's inviting you to go."
"Then you go in my place."
The old woman is up to no good; last time she wanted to marry her off to the Prince of Dai, and now who knows what she's planning.
Anyway, Zhou Wanwan has no plans to go.
But before she could even leave the teahouse, she saw Old Madam Zhou rush in with a group of people.
"Zhou Wanwan, I've finally found you."
Zhou Wanwan grinned and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"You don't even address me as 'grandmother' anymore, do you? I'm your grandmother. I've arranged for you to marry the Prince of Dai. When are you going to marry him?"
The old Princess Dai, who was following behind her, stepped forward and said, "Didn't you say you were cultivating a relationship with the Prince of Dai? Where is he now? Did you kill my Prince of Dai?"
The old Princess Consort was sobbing and wailing, Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "Why would I kill him? He's studying at the academy right now!"
The old Princess Dai said loudly:
Sending the Prince of Dai to school? Are you crazy?
He can't even recite the Three Character Classic, is that on purpose?
Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by intentional or unintentional?"
The old Princess Dai pointed at Zhou Wanwan and said:
"You did this on purpose! What are you up to by sending an idiot to school?"
Furthermore, in front of so many people, tell me, why did the King of Dai give you all six cities?
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "You'd have to ask the Prince of Dai! He gave it to me voluntarily."
The old Princess Dai shouted, "Nonsense! My child is a fool, he doesn't understand anything, he was just fooled by you!"
Old Madam Zhou glared at Zhou Wanwan and said:
"Hurry up and return their fiefdom to them! Who do you think you are? How dare you ask for someone else's fiefdom?"
You're not asking for it, you're blatantly lying to people!
The old Princess Dai pulled the Prince Dai into her arms and said:
"My poor child! She's lost so much weight in just a few days. This Zhou Wanwan is simply inhuman!"
How could someone do such a cruel thing to a 6-year-old child?
Shangguan Wan'er nearby, said sarcastically:
"Then you don't understand Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Wanwan is a very ruthless person."
You're handing a fool over to her, aren't you planning to let her kill him?
The Prince of Dai is so pitiful! A mentally challenged child has to go to school. I don't know how much Zhou Wanwan.
The Prince of Dai glanced at her indifferently and said, "You're the fool! Your whole family are fools!"
Shangguan Wan'er stared at the Prince of Dai in disbelief and said, "I told you! Look, even an idiot has been corrupted by Zhou Wanwan into swearing like that. It's terrifying."
The Prince of Dai glared at her and said, "You calling me an idiot is considered vulgar, but calling you an idiot is considered scary? What kind of twisted logic is that?"
The Princess Consort stared blankly at the Prince of Dai and said, "You... son! You're not stupid anymore!"
The Prince of Dai looked up at her, bowed, and said, "Mother."
