A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Memories flashed back to this moment.

The Wan Yu Wuyu in front of him is no longer a young boy, but his eyes are as solemn as before, and his two thin lips are still opening and closing coldly:

"Aim at me! Aim at my throat and make me your military glory."

Yuan Wuyou narrowed one eye in disbelief. She laughed at her confusion, "Why are you seeking death?"

Wan Yu Wuyu raised his eyes slightly and rolled his eyes.

"Because you are seeking your own death. When you die, it will be useless for me to live. No one knows about my past, and no one knows about my future."

"You traitor, how else can you clarify this?"

——At the same time, the group of crossbowmen who were ambushing around them could no longer squat and came out one after another.

"Second General, why don't you shoot arrows?"

"General Wan Yu is pitying the beauty right now. Does he want to commit treason?"

Wan Yu Wuyu was angry and pressed Yuan Wuyou's arrow on the string! "Is your hand broken?"

Then he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Either kill me, or get out of here and I'll kill them!"

Yuan Wuyou thought that he had always hated her, and wished he could kill the king at some time to resolve the feud with her old master, but he didn't expect that he would let her go at such a time.

She was frightened by Wan Yu Wuyu's anomaly. The moment the crossbowmen who were lying in ambush rushed out, she quickly grabbed Wan Yu Wuyu's wrist guard with one hand, unsheathed the sword with the other hand, cut off the flying arrows and flew on the horse. escape.

With Wan Yu Wuyu guiding the way, it was easy for Yuan Wuyou to get rid of his pursuers. However, after they got rid of their pursuers, the two of them became speechless while feeding their horses and resting by the stream.

Yuan Wuyou looked at Wan Yu Wuyu, who was standing straight and silent, frowning and asked, "Why did you suddenly betray Zhou Guo and help me escape instead? Did you suddenly find your conscience?"

Wan Yu Wuyu coldly snorted:

"Loyalty, filial piety and justice have nothing to do with me. I chose the camp just because I can't disobey my mother or betray my father. In my eyes, you are a helpless man who traveled to a foreign country for a man, just like you caused Hua Xu to fall apart because of the man's troubles."

Yuan Wuyou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't think of me as a foolish king. It's a man who plots my empire, but I only plot the people's hearts."

He didn't answer this, but suddenly said:

"The white werewolf next to you is Xiao Zuo, don't trust him."

"You mean A'Du? Why?"

Wan Yuwuyu rolled his eyes, his phoenix eyes raised.

"He has been coming to Huaxu Imperial City since he was a child. He left because of doubts about his identity. Do you really not remember?"

"After I was deprived of my luck, I lost my memory and couldn't remember many things."

With that said, Yuan Wuyou sat down on the spot and waved to him.

Wan Yuwuyu walked to her obediently and stood upright, looking down from above.

"What about me? Can't even remember me?"

Yuan Wuyou racked his brains and thought, and suddenly he remembered.

The night before Wan Yu Wuyu was sentenced to Hua Xu with his mother, he had stayed with her all night long to light lamps and make a white lacquer bow for the party. Yuan Wuyou thought he was just going on an ordinary expedition.

In addition to telling her to practice riding and shooting diligently, he also bowed to her and left an inexplicable sentence:

"This king and his ministers bow to you, and from now on I will do your meritorious deeds."

Thoughts flowed slowly back to this moment.

Yuan Wuyou still doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Why do you have to surrender to the Northern Zhou Dynasty?" "Because this is your family's Western Wei Dynasty. After all, I share the same ancestry with your family. Your mother played a big game of chess. All my life, I have fought to protect my family and your family. "

"What is the relationship between your Yuwen family and Wanyu family and me?"

"It's the Tuoba tribe that changed the Yuan family name to the Hua Xufeng surname. That's all... I don't even know, so how can I expect you to understand."

"When will you prove that you are not a traitor? Just asking me to kill you through a trick is not enough."

"When you return to Chang'an, I will prove it."

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but sneer.

"It turns out that Zhou State sent you to be a lobbyist. Get lost."

After hearing this, Wan Yuwuyu suddenly lowered his head to take off his wrist guard, and then handed it to her.

Yuan Wuyou frowned, "What?"

She took it and took a look, and saw that there was a semicircular flat jade on the inside close to the skin. It was tightly sewn together and matched the half of the "Feng surnamed jade" on Yuan Wuyou's wrist.

He said: "Dangxiang became independent from Huaxu because the older generation believed in Hu Fu. After Huaxu was controlled three years ago, you became a puppet. I can only wait for an opportunity to avenge you. I can use this to mobilize Dangxiang." Eight."

Yuan Wuyou held the two jade bracelets in his hand and looked up at Wan Yu Wuyu with doubtful eyes.

"You would actually give me such an important thing?"

Wan Yuwuyu said calmly:

"I am a traitor general now. Even if I take the jade, they will not obey my orders. Now Xiao Tongyan and the others are looking for this too. The Xiao family and the Yuwen family join forces to get the party item, to annex Huaxu and capture you. You should run."

After hearing this, she couldn't hide the shock and astonishment on her face.

"You actually...you rebelled and endured the humiliation and stayed in Zhou Kingdom just to have this day?"

"It's a matter of your life and death. I will help you. If it doesn't affect your diplomatic relations with Zhou Guobang, I will help Zhou Guobang."

When Wan Yuwuyu said this, he lowered his eyelids in loneliness.

"Now, I should have no chance to return to Zhou Kingdom."

Yuan Wuyou frowned, "If what you said is true, then Xiao Tongyan... The Xiao family must have mastered the Jade Seal!" She suddenly opened her eyes, "Do you know where Xiao Tongyan is? Gao Changgong, Jade Seal, all of them The news revolves around her, Xiao Tongyan!"

Wan Yu Wuyu glanced at the sun and said, "I heard that Xiao Tongyan took Prince Lanling hostage and went to Xiangyang."

"The land of Jingxiang is not far from Houliang. Xiao Tongyan is not sending a gift to Prince Lanling. He is sending a jade seal!"

Thinking of this, the two of them stopped delaying and went to look for Xiao Tongyan.

***

But just as they arrived at Jiyang, the two of them bumped into Xiao Tongyan who was returning.

Xiao Tongyan sat high on a new white horse, wearing a white robe and silver armor. He whistled at Yuan Wuyou's horse, and the white horse under his crotch ran towards her at her command!

She hurriedly tightened the reins, and when she stopped the horse, she was already eye-to-eye with Xiao Tongyan.

Wan Yu Wuyu also rushed forward and said sternly, "You still dare to come back? Your Majesty guessed that Xiao was helping Chen Guo obtain the jade seal, so he sent his general to investigate the matter. Since there is no news of the jade seal reaching Chen Guo, it must still be in Xiao It’s in the hands of my family, and the scope of activities of you Xiao family members is right at the border!”

I didn't expect Wan Yu Wuyu to hold back such a big thing, but he never told Yuan Wuyou. She glanced at him in surprise.

Xiao Tongyan raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "If I had a jade seal in my hand, I wouldn't carry it with me and run around with you, right? I also have a relationship with the Lord Zhou. If he suspected that I was communicating with Chen, he would have come here long ago. I asked, is it your turn to be a traitor general?"

Wan Yu Wuyu still said stubbornly, "Your Majesty has long suspected that someone from the Xiao family colluded with the prince of the Chen Dynasty. The current prince of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao, was a hostage in Chang'an in the past..." He turned to look at Yuan Wuyou, "Have you seen him? He is only a few months older than you, and he is around you every day. He is a pampered young master who grew up with his mother. Her mother is the princess of the Xiao family who changed her surname to her mother's name after the country was overthrown. As long as I interrogate them one by one, I will definitely find him. Among the Xiao family, who is the prince of the Chen Dynasty?"
