Chapter 297: Sluggish
Ye Shuo: “Given the current state of those people, I’m afraid it will be very difficult.”
From a distance, the prisoners of war in Beiting looked like frightened birds. The slightest movement of the people of the Great Zhou would make them tremble. In addition, they had little food and did not have enough to eat every day. They relied on a mouthful of rice soup to survive. Even if they were given weapons now, they might not be able to hold them.
Prince Ding couldn’t help swallowing his saliva and said with difficulty: “If this is the case… Beiting is too cruel.”
No matter what the result is, these are soldiers defending their country, how could they have the heart to do this!
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually Beiting’s style of doing things.
Beiting people believe in the Wolf King and regard the wild wolves on the grassland as their totems. Beiting people who grow up in such an environment are cruel by nature and not polite people. They cannot be judged by common sense. In their eyes, human life is no different from lambs, and they have always divided it into useful and useless, edible and inedible.
Ye Shuo sat down again, pondered for a while, and said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
Wait another seven days, and there will definitely be a result no matter what. By then, Ye Shuo will be ready to send the people back and then withdraw his troops.
And so, the sudden silence of the Great Zhou made the prisoners of Beiting even more frightened and uneasy, fearing that they would be the next.
