C3 I Am Not Daji

"Ruoli, where are we going to drink?"

"The tea shop."

"The tea shop?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ou Ruoli blinked her fox-like eyes that were especially attractive, causing the setting sun to be unable to open its eyes.

Of course, it was the tea shop. As a newcomer, it was naturally a place with a lot of people around, making it easier to spy on the enemy.

"Did you hear? King Zhou brought back a beautiful woman."

"I heard, her name is Daji."

"I heard that her beauty is the best in the world."

"But where did this woman come from?"

"Isn't it just the spoils of war that the King obtained from attacking Su Clan a while ago?" The few men started laughing maliciously at this point in their discussion.

It seemed that he was a step too late. Black Fox was quite quick.

"Sigh, it seems that our Great Zhou is going to be destroyed."

"Brother Wang, don't speak nonsense. You're going to be killed."

"Brother Zhang, you don't have to dissuade me. If worst comes to worst, I will just die. Before I, Wang, brought Daji back, I was a wise king."

"Sigh."

"After I, King Zhou, succeeded the throne, I valued agriculture, the strength of the country, the livelihood of the people, and the happiness of living and working in peace. The King was wise and wise, and led the people of the Shang Dynasty to expand their territory. And now? He brought back a strange woman, and he even doted on her. So what if she is unparalleled in the world?"

"Brother Wang is right. This girl loves to kill and it is a calamity for the people of Shang Dynasty!"

"Big brothers, are you discussing the King's new concubine?" When Ou Ruoli heard that the two of them knew a lot, he knew that most of the words of the literati could only be used as a reference.

"Have you heard of her as well?"

"I have, but I don't know much about her. After all, I'm a foreigner."

"Little brother, you're too beautiful. It's better to cover your face. The current King Zhou is already licentious."

"How can you be so fast? When I left my hometown, everyone said that the King was wise."

"Hey, little brother, you don't know. In the past, King Zhou was really wise and powerful, but ever since he met that Daji, everything changed."

"But maybe he changed before he met Daji again. Punishment, this is all the wrath of heaven."

"No, Big Brother. I just heard me call you Brother Zhang! Then how about I call you Brother Zhang?"

"You are young, little brother. I am qualified to call you brother. If you want to know anything, you can ask us. We are not cowards. We just sigh that our ambition is useless."

"Brother, when you are gold, you will always shine. You don't need to care about yourself. What did you mean by divine punishment?"

"When King Zhou was offering sacrifices to Lady Nuwa, he suddenly had a lustful desire. There was nothing wrong with praising Lady Nuwa's beauty, but, ah, the King actually coveted Lady Nuwa's beauty and wanted to win her over."

"I heard about this as well, but I also heard that King denied it. I don't think King would dare to do such a thing."

"No matter who it is, I don't know why the King denied it. However, the officials did hear it. There was a poem left on the wall, but it was cleaned up."

"Is that so? Then what did Lady Daji do?"

"Little brother, you haven't heard?"

"No? What happened?"

"My cousin was a guard at the palace, and he was in the Holy of Holies when it happened. He came home sick, and now he's in bed." Brother Zhang seemed to be lost in his own fantasy. It seemed that something big had really happened!

"Brother Zhang?" Ou Ruoli waved his hand in front of Brother Zhang's eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's too scary. I'm a little panicked."

"It's fine. If it's convenient, just say it. If it's inconvenient, it's fine."

"It's not inconvenient at all. That Lady Daji is really cruel. She said that she could distinguish the gender of the fetus in a pregnant woman's belly and the art of distinguishing between a man and a woman, so the King made a bet with her to see if it was accurate. The King found a hundred pregnant women for Lady Daji to distinguish between men and women. Lady Daji made the pregnant women sit properly before she stood up. She raised her left foot as a man and her right foot as a woman."

"Is Lady Daji right?"

"What's the point of guessing right or wrong? They're all dead." Brother Zhang shook his head. He felt that it was a pity. Those were all human lives, yet they were gone in the blink of an eye.

"Who died?"

"Pregnant women. All one hundred pregnant women died. Their stomachs were cut open alive because the King wanted to know if Lady Daji's guess was right or not." Brother Zhang's voice was trembling with grief and anger. The hand holding the teacup kept shaking. The tea was spread out on the table, forming a water mirror that seemed to be able to reflect the hearts of people.

"Cut open the stomach?" Ou Ruoli was surprised. Although there were also dramas in the modern world, those were just stories. No one would really get hurt, but it was different here. Here, a person's life could be taken with a wave of a hand. Although he was an instructor and a killing machine in the modern world, they had their own bottom line. They did not kill pregnant women and babies.

"Yes, they cut open the belly of a pregnant woman alive. Those are all seven or eight months old fetuses. The pregnant woman was still awake when her belly was cut open. She could still hear the sound of the flesh being cut open. She could even watch as her child was taken out of her stomach and connected to the umbilical cord in blood. Some of the fetuses did not die when they were older, and there was still hope for them to live. They were all mothers, and at that moment, they were the heart! The pregnant woman wanted the King to be kind and save the child, but unfortunately, Lady Daji threw them out to feed the wolves. What a heart! " Brother Zhang took up the teacup and took a big gulp. It seemed that he had used up all his strength to drink the tea. He felt sad, and tears were welling up in his eyes. He was such a sad man.

"That's terrible. What did the king say?"

"The King is spoiling Lady Daji, what can he say? Beauty is bad for the country, beauty is bad for the country."

"Big brother, this meal is on me. It's rare for me to meet scholars like you two. Please give me a chance. We'll meet again if fate allows, little brother Ou Ruoli." Ou Ruoli did not ask any questions. Instead, he cupped his fists in greeting.

"Little brother, you also have a good appearance. It's best to hide it when you go out. After all, the world is not at peace right now. Unlike before, no one will make decisions for the people."

"Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother." Ou Ruoli understood what Brother Zhang meant. Male pets were the norm, and the king was a lecherous person. Thus, his subordinates would definitely not be afraid of him.

"Sunset, King Zhou is no longer the same as he was when he was young. What should we do?"

"You're still thinking about him?"

"I promised him to go look for him when I was young."

"The jade pendant is gone. He is now an emperor. The emperor is on guard. How can you get close to him?"

"There will always be a way, and now that he is so fond of Daji, it will not be good for him!"

"You know, I won't refuse your words. If you use my place, just say that I will never refuse."

"Thank you, Sunset."
