Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 941: Chapter 749: The General Who Likes to Strip People

Soh Wu, coming from a military background, didn’t know how to hold back, and with a bump of his elbow, Left Prime Minister Sang Jie staggered a step to the side, spilling much of his wine, immediately glaring at him fiercely!

Soh Wu ignored Sang Jie’s glare, sniffing as he continued, ”Isn’t it just a few old maids deciding some children’s marriages over there, look at all of you, smiling as if your faces have turned into old chrysanthemums, acting like meat pies are falling from the sky, as if you’ve struck a great bargain, honestly, you’re all important court officials, shouldn’t you have a bit more knowledge than this, is it worth all this fuss?”

Soh Wu’s voice was loud, and as soon as he finished speaking, the banquet fell silent.

”This dimwit!” on the women’s side, Soh Wu’s Madam scolded coquettishly, picking up a handkerchief to cover her face, repeatedly saying, ”Sisters, don’t look at me, if I were born in the Southern Country, I would have divorced this dimwit and remarried! I’m so humiliated!”

Soh Wu was taken aback by his own Madam’s words, a bit at a loss, how was he dimwitted?

Alright, maybe he was a bit dimwitted, but he truly didn’t see what was worth celebrating, just look how happy these people are!

”Haha... they always say military men are boorish, I didn’t believe it at first, but now, I’ve truly witnessed it; Soh Wu, if I were your Madam, I’d divorce you too!” Left Prime Minister Sang Jie, understanding what’s going on, immediately stopped caring about his image, slapping his leg and laughing heartily.

Everyone joined in a burst of laughter.

”You?” Soh Wu, upon hearing this, immediately looked Sang Jie up and down, this old man nearly giggling himself to death? ”If you were my Madam, no need for you to divorce me, I’d rather remain single for life than take an old geezer like you!”

”You! You! You!” It’s said that scholars can’t argue with soldiers; Left Prime Minister Sang Jie was genuinely amused and exasperated by Soh Wu.

The crowd at the banquet laughed so hard they leaned back and forth, while Soh Wu’s Madam almost wanted to bury her head beneath her seat, wanting to find a hole to crawl into!

Gu Changsheng clutched her stomach, pointing at Soh Wu, completely unaware of how funny he was, laughing until her stomach cramped!

”Oh dear, this is too much, where did this simple-minded official come from, it’s killing me with laughter, he actually truly imagines marrying the Left Prime Minister, this, this... haha...”

Zhou Mu had already walked down from his seat, supporting her as he bowed his head, struggling to hold back his laughter, ”First-Class General Soh Wu.”

”Hey! So this is that Soh Wu, the one who ruined your kitchen, prayed to gods everywhere after returning home?!” Gu Changsheng, on hearing this, laughed even more wildly, she had heard about Soh Wu’s exploits from her female officials, she had thought at the time, there’s no way such an amusing official exists, who’d have thought, there really is!

”Although he’s usually missing a beat, likes to argue just for laughs, he’s most cautious, especially caring for the soldiers, his troops are the wealthiest and suffer the fewest casualties in all of the Great Zhou Army!” Zhou Mu, seemingly recalling something, bowed his head and laughed as well.

Over there, Soh Wu continued to lock eyes with Left Prime Minister Sang Jie in a battle of wits, while here, Gu Changsheng, finding it amusing, saw her evildoer laughing so ungracefully, immediately pulled him up the steps, asking as they went, ”Look at you laughing so much, are you remembering some other funny business of his, quickly tell me, let me laugh too!”

It’s not good to inquire about someone’s past embarrassments right in front of them, so she snuck up to the Nine-Layer Steps to find out.

Hearing Gu Changsheng’s question, Gu Taitian and the others seated on the high steps of the Nine-Layer also looked over with great interest.

”There’s not much, it’s just that this person... is indeed a bit overly simple-minded, but during the times he led the Northern Expedition Army, his soldiers were considered the wealthiest troops in the world!” Zhou Mu spoke with a smile under everyone’s watching eyes.

”Oh? Why’s that?” Gu Changsheng asked with interest, as far as she knew, the military salary in the Great Zhou Army wasn’t much.

”Because, when he marches to war, with every victory, he returns laden with spoils, this person loves stripping people of their clothes, regardless of the living or the dead! As long as he wins, the defeated side, whether it’s weapons, purses, or the armor, clothes, shoes, and socks they’re wearing, he leaves nothing untouched, it’s said he plucks the feathers of a passing goose...” Zhou Mu whispered with a suppressed laugh.

Gu Taitian and the others were taken aback, their faces showing disbelief.

”Haha...” Gu Changsheng laughed again until she fell, ”I can imagine, the aftermath of his battlefield, rows upon rows of naked corpses, such a gruesome scene! It’s simply appalling, unbearable to look at!”

Gu Changsheng herself loves riches, but she’s never seen someone amass wealth like this, this is just too...
