Chapter 135: People You Shouldn’t Provoke

Chapter 135: People You Shouldn’t Provoke (Part )
At this time, outside the foot shop where the party had just been held, the chaos had long gone, with people and horses stumbling.

The foot shop, which had returned to silence, stood quietly under the pale moonlight. If the things and tables and chairs inside had not been thrown all over the place, with the ground covered with broken porcelain pieces and table and chair remnants, no one would have known what had just happened in the area.

In the distance, on the cliff where the foot shop is visible, a man in a black cloak is standing there quietly with a playful smile on his lips.

Behind him, a man of medium build and about thirty years old said nervously, "Your Highness, I have already formed a group to fight against the court as you said, and also successfully provoked a member of the royal family. Do you think... do you think I have passed the test?"

The black-robed man raised his lips even higher, but a trace of disdain and indifference flashed through his eyes. He said slowly, "You did a good job. It took you several months to achieve this little achievement, but in the end, it was easily dealt with by the prince's people. You did a really good job."

The man was shocked and said quickly, "But...but I burned the family of the steward of the King of Wei to death. Your Highness didn't see how furious the King of Wei was when he heard the news..."

"What's so great about you provoking that fool King Wei?"

Although the man spoke slowly, he was piercingly harsh, and he said word by word: "If you killed the prince's steward, I would still praise you for being amazing."

The man dared not say anything immediately. He looked at him for a long time with an uncertain expression, and then he said cautiously, "So, Your Highness, I... failed the assessment?"

When he thought about the fact that he already knew his secret and what would happen if he failed the test, his back instantly became wet with sweat.

He had his own ambitions in the new dynasty and was unwilling to be buried, but he also didn't want to sacrifice his entire family!

He ran around for a long time, thinking that there would be absolutely no problems, but he never expected that the prince's requirements would be... so harsh!
The man in front of him didn't look at him. He looked at the shoe shop for a long time before he said with some disinterest, "Forget it. I'll just barely pass it."

The man was stunned, then suddenly happy.

However, there were still some things he hadn't figured out, so he said carefully, "It's just that, Your Highness, you are obviously... a member of the royal family, so why do you want me to do something that provokes the royal family as a test?"

The man in front of him was silent for a long time, then he turned his head slightly to look at him, and suddenly curled his lips, as if whispering like an evil ghost: "Of course it's because... it's fun."

The man was startled.

It was actually...it was actually because of such a ridiculous reason!

"Also, if you are unwilling to do even the slightest bit of something out of the ordinary for me, how can I believe that you are truly loyal to me?"

The man in black robe said nonchalantly: "After all, everyone who comes to see me has something to ask of me, and I am not the kind of fool who would give for others in vain.

What if you all run away when I need you to make greater sacrifices for me in the future? "

As she spoke, she seemed to be looking at the man behind her expectantly.

The man was so frightened that he almost couldn't feel his heartbeat. He slowly swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Since I have made up my mind to follow Your Highness, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness and do anything for you!"

But my heart was trembling slightly.

I realized belatedly that I seemed to have... provoked a being that should not be provoked.

On the other side, after Zhou Yunke sent Su Liuyue off, he said calmly, "Let's go back home."

Feng Yang was stunned, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, are you just going to ignore the people we captured tonight?"

He thought that His Highness had come specially to see Miss Su off, and would return to the military camp to interrogate her after that.

Zhou Yunke raised his lips coldly, "The leader tonight was fake, and the others probably don't know much."

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the "leader", it was obvious that he was just an ordinary citizen randomly picked from the neighborhood and knew nothing about anything.

When the government officials suddenly rushed out to arrest people tonight, he was so scared that he peed on the spot.

I'm afraid their actions tonight have been discovered long ago.

However, apart from a few core personnel in Jingzhao Prefecture, no one else should know about their actions tonight. Even the King of Wei only knew that he had made a major discovery, which was why he sent Cao Yan over.

But Cao Yan didn't know what he was going to do until he got to the foot shop.

This can only mean that there is an insider in Jingzhao Prefecture. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed across Zhou Yunke's phoenix eyes.

Fake? !
Feng Yang, who was standing by, opened his eyes wide in shock, but seeing that Zhou Yunke had no intention of explaining, he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

Zhou Yunke went straight back to his residence in the inner city.

He basically never went back to the East Palace in the imperial city, and he didn't like going back to that cold place.

Although this mansion was just a place to sleep for him, it was at least lively with Rong Ruo and some other guests living here.

After Zhou Yunke got off the horse, he threw the whip to the servant who was coming towards him.

Feng Yang immediately ran over and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to invite Doctor Jiang over?"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the wound on his hand.

Zhou Yunke kept walking and said, "No need. Bring me the medicine and bandages. I will take care of it myself."

After returning home, he went to the bathroom to wash up as usual, and only felt relieved when he had completely washed away the dust and dirt on his body.

After changing into a clean, loose robe, he walked back into the room with his half-dried hair loose.

He did all these things by himself from beginning to end.

He didn't like others to serve him closely, so the people around him would prepare hot water and clothes for him to change before he came back, and then go into the bathroom to put his things in order after he finished taking a shower and came out.

His room, like his tent in the army, was spacious but empty. Apart from the necessary furniture and objects, there were no unnecessary furnishings or decorations.

Because not many people would enter his room, Zhou Yunke had his study connected to the small hall in the room early in the morning. Therefore, when he entered the room, the first thing he saw was the desk facing him. Next to the desk was a bookcase filled with books. All the books were neatly arranged from short to tall.

On the small table next to the desk, there was a pot of brewed tea and a small plate of snacks.

The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop; there was not a single sound.

Zhou Yunke should have been accustomed to it, but when he thought of the dazzling starry sky tonight, his heart inexplicably felt empty for a moment, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had clearly seen that starry sky thousands of times.

In the endless yellow sand desert, on the vast and lonely grassland, on the border wall standing on the steep plateau.

But it was the first time that I had this absurd idea that even the starry sky was more lively than my room.

He sorted his thoughts, walked to the desk, took out the file he had been reading halfway and continued reading. During this time, Minglu, his usual servant, came in, put the medicine and bandages on the tray next to him, then bowed and walked out politely and silently.

Just as Ming Lu was about to leave the room, Zhou Yunke's light voice suddenly came, "Wait a moment."

Ming Lu was slightly stunned, then turned around and lowered his head and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"You don't have to go out, just stay by the door."

After Zhou Yunke finished speaking, without looking at Minglu's confused expression, he picked up the medicine and started to treat the wound on his arm.

He wasn't so intolerable that he couldn't stand having someone in his room.

But he did most of the things by himself, and when his followers came in, they could only stand by and watch, and there was no need for them to come in.

But tonight, Zhou Yunke inexplicably felt that there was a lack of people in this room.

After he bandaged the wound, he looked up at Minglu who couldn't help but keep looking at him secretly. Suddenly, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You have served me for several years. Tell me, what kind of person am I?"

Minglu: Your Highness is crazy!
