A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 176 Chapter 176
On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, there was rarely silence in the Zheng residence.

Because the northwest gate is not far from the residence of Aunt Zheng's family, there is a hand-painted verandah across it.At this moment, there are only cicadas chirping and crickets in the courtyard. Behind the shadow wall, a girl in red is sitting in front of a round stone table. Fingers tap on the table.

She appeared to be the only one on the surface, but she was actually surrounded by people.

Until he heard the sound of clappers coming from the outer street, Yuan Wuyou didn't wait for the Miaojiang witch who was giving the jade seal, but in the veranda outside the door, he suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, yes!"

This sentence was like a fire falling into a pot of oil, and the group of people who were ambushing in the dark exploded cracklingly. In the veranda, behind the rockery, in the haystack...Representatives of various families regardless of their own descriptions of embarrassment, flocked to surround them, suddenly They all rushed out the door.

It was already a bit chilly at Xushi, and the cold wind was blowing over him, Yuan Wuyou relaxed his fingers digging at the corner of the table, stood up slowly, and walked away following the sound.

It turned out that the witch from Miaojiang entrusted a creaking Liuma, tied it behind her and brought in a coffin. The aristocratic family and the Xiao family who had already ambushed rushed up, and the coffin lid was opened without Yuan Wuyou even taking a look. A three-foot bronze mirror with mud and dirt lay on it.

Yuan Wuyou suddenly suspected that the Miaojiang demon girl had something to do with that girl.But she didn't show it on her face. It was King Lanling who was guarding the door in ordinary clothes. At this time, his eyebrows and eyes slanted, Mr. Yu Nong:

"Dare to ask Duke Xiao, is Yuxi so big?"

Grandma Zheng also asked: "Where is the jade seal? Break this mirror and look for it?"

The fisherman's public book was launched by Xiao Shi to bear the brunt of it. Although he had no idea at the moment, he still said arrogantly on his face:

"What's your attitude? The old man helped you to persuade farmers to accumulate mulberry and grain, and naturally it also helped the family to return to the prestige of the county. Today, this time is also seeking jade seals for the state of Qi. If there is one, then the state of Qi is ordered by heaven. It can be said that the news is wrong, why bother the old man?"

This night, the moon stands in the sky with a first quarter moon.

The rouge skirts were rolled up and brushed against the emerald green boxwood grass. In the [-]th year, the aunt of the Zheng family had a pretty face and a tall and straight figure. She walked lightly around the corridor and walked to the front of the coffin surrounded by everyone.

With her delicate facial features that have not faded, she bowed her smiling eyes:
"Let me be fair, all of you gathered here tonight, I'm afraid it's the witches from Miaojiang who have diverted the tiger away from the mountain. Instead of chasing the witches for breaking their promises, you might as well go back to your camp and see if your things are lost or stolen? As for this mirror, I am I saw it in the cave, called Qin Wang Zhao Gu Jing, if you don’t, then it’s mine.”

So everyone brushed the bronze mirror inside and out several times, and after working hard for nearly an hour without digging out the jade seal, they returned disappointed.

Under the surveillance of everyone, Gao Changgong and Zhen Zhuangshi worked together to carry the three-foot-long bronze mirror into her room.Just when the man in red was about to leave, Aunt Zheng grabbed him and said that she had an unoccupied wing, so he wanted to stay overnight?
Seeing King Lanling's ears burning red suddenly, everyone dispersed in all directions, and all of them smiled knowingly. Gao Changgong was afraid that he would not be safe at the end of the day, so he hurriedly followed Grandma Zheng, saying not to leave him behind.

A quarter of an hour after the people left, Yuan Wuyou heard the weak, dull banging sound in the room getting more and more urgent, and then he pried open the bed board, revealing Nao Nao who was tied up inside and only covered in a cross-collar gown.

The girl from Miaojiang was sweating profusely, her almond eyes were wide open in horror, and she looked at the girl in red holding a white knife.

She looked down at herself condescendingly, her red lips curled up into a sarcastic smile:

"Dare to use Gu's darkness to save Chen Cang? Why is it for Shuangxu Jing, you wait for these evildoers in southern Xinjiang... or for Gu's jade seal! Hand over the jade seal quickly, and Gu can spare you, otherwise Gu will have a way to punish you, I'm afraid At that time, blood will flow into rivers and starve to death for thousands of miles."

"...Your Majesty, please listen to my words. You still can't keep the jade seal. If you let me go, I will mortgage the King Qin's bone mirror to you. Can I exchange the jade seal in the future?"

"You want to mortgage the jade seal with a broken mirror? Just detain you and let Lingnan remnants come to redeem people, which is more effective than that piece of dead bronze."

***
On the fifth day of May, on Duanyang Day, before dawn, Yuan Wuyou was awakened from his sleep by someone knocking on the door, and a group of men outside shouted in a forceful voice: "Big sister, open the door, big brother is here."

The sound was noisy and neat, and the noisy insects outside stopped screaming.

Good guy, there's no end to revenge, right?She hid back to Zheng's house but couldn't escape revenge?
Miss Yuan was sleeping stupefied, and there was so much noise outside, she had no choice but to put on her coat and get up, wanting Gao Changgong to see how offensive his actions were, but as soon as she opened the door, someone grabbed her wrist and slapped her hand. Put something on it.

The frightened Yuan Wuyou suddenly regained consciousness, and raised his hand to push the red-robed man in front of him, but his tentacles were the heart mirror on his chest and the hard and cold fish-scale soft armor.

At the same time, he held down his wrist and ordered: "Don't move! It's almost dawn, you have to put on the colorful rope quickly."

"No—" Miss Yuan just opened her mouth to ask, but a fleshy palm blocked what she wanted to say.

"Don't talk!" The four eyes met, the man's white and tender face, the expression of frowning at the moment, made the handsome features more handsome, and the sharp black eyes that shot out from the long eyelashes were also lovely. It is as bright and sharp as the Venus in the sky.

The man was wearing a red military uniform and soft armor with fish scales. He stood in front of her in a heroic manner, and the top of his head couldn't stop the white belly before dawn.

After Gao Changgong put on the five-color rope, he blinked his long eyelashes and said seriously:
"Every year before the dawn of the Dragon Boat Festival, the adults of the family have to tie colorful ropes around the children's wrists, ankles, and necks. You can't talk when they are tied."

Yuan Wuyou looked at the colorful rope on his wrist.The colorful ropes on Duanyang Day are fixed in five colors of blue, white, red, black and yellow.The upper part should be yin and yang, the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the lower part should be the east, west, north, south, and middle.

"No...how old am I? Is it still a child?"

"Aren't you unmarried? Even married men in our military camp are forced to wear colorful ropes by their wives. I see that your family only has an ancient grandmother. I'm afraid there is no one who can tie this five-color rope for you. I can only come here." The five-color rope must be tied before sunrise, and it cannot be discarded at will. You must wait until the heavy rain after the Dragon Boat Festival, put it on the drain of your courtyard wall, and let the rain wash it away."

Yuan Wuyou was really moved, but then realized something was wrong,

"Brother, are you inferior? Are you taking advantage of me?"

The eldest brother's eyes fell on her, and he hurriedly ordered the people behind him to turn their heads to avoid it, and then ordered her, "You came out dressed like this? Hurry up and change your clothes and wash up, and go outing with me."

"No...Gao Changgong, are you retaliating against me? You have practiced for three consecutive days in the morning, and you are really...training me hard."

"No, please go out first, and go to the banquet to watch the dragon boat race. In order to avoid the evil spirit of the poisonous moon, His Majesty has authorized all the troops in the army to go out for three days and have fun with the local people."

Yuan Wuyou was very happy at first, thinking that this idiot had become enlightened, but he bluntly said that his second brother ordered him to take him there, and the second brother said that he wanted to get to know the only granddaughter of the Zheng family.
