Chapter 192

"I'm throwing silver over to you, Jing people! You throw some hotpot back!"

"What about the grilled fish?! I'm pelting you with silver!"

Splash, splash—

Skilled throwers from Chu State, separated by a river, kept tossing silver pieces and even silver treasures towards the opposite bank.

But even at the river's narrowest point, one would need to swim across. No matter how strong one's arm, it was impossible to throw anything to the other side.

As a result, countless silver pieces plunged into the river in no time!

Wealthy Chu people, cursing from above, continued to throw silver into the river.

"Hurry up and send me some skewers!"

"It's your turn now! I dare to send you silver, do you dare to send food over?!"

Hearing this, the people of Jing Country on the opposite bank got equally excited.

Those holding barbecue skewers and deep-fried snacks, and those fanning themselves while eating hotpot by the shore, all stood up.

They raised their fried and grilled skewers, picked up lamb rolls from the hotpot, and waved their arms towards Chu State across the river. But in a split second, their expressions changed. They made a feint, swung the grilled meats, fried vegetables, and lamb rolls dripping with spicy oil in a circle, and popped them into their own mouths.

The Chu people across the river: "???"

The Jing people chuckled, "Do you take us for fools? Why would we throw such delicious food into the river instead of eating it ourselves?"

"!!!"

The Chu people on the other side of the river were furious.

The situation on both banks was clearly spiraling out of control, especially on the Chu side, where even the Chu soldiers could barely maintain order.

Without further orders, the soldiers and constables couldn't do much to their own citizens.

Even the Chu soldiers guarding the area were somewhat stirred by the atmosphere. "Boss, those Jing people are shameless! I want to taste their food too! If it's not good, let's see how they explain their lies!"

Before the Chu King issued his edict two days ago, only a few Chu citizens had ventured to Jing Country's gathering to eat and explore.

Crossing mountains and rivers was inconvenient after all.

Many Chu people had only smelled the aromas but hadn't tasted the food.

Now, with the Jing people's provocation, they simply couldn't contain themselves anymore.

[The sound of monkeys crying on both banks is incessant. Who could have imagined that the exchange between our two countries would be so lively~]

Xiao Chuchu had never seen such a heated scene even in modern times.

Xiao Yunzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he too had his eyes opened today.

"Old Fu, when you used to teach me, you said that it's better to channel than to block. I didn't quite understand it then," Xiao Yunzhou said, looking back at Chancellor Fu Cha with emotion.

Chancellor Fu Cha, also in plain clothes, twitched his mouth. Old Fu?!

The Emperor was getting more and more casual!

But hearing Xiao Yunzhou's following words, Chancellor Fu Cha's eyes widened in surprise.

"Old Fu, seeing the Chu people like this today, I finally understand firsthand what it means to channel rather than block."
