A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 391 Chapter 391 The Case of the Jiyang Female Bandit

That afternoon, the steaming heat of summer turned slightly cooler.

Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong were stopped as soon as they arrived at the gate of Jiyang City. I saw a long queue of people who were about to enter the city. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they were inspected by soldiers who took off their headscarves and pinched their faces. Some people compared their portraits with each other, as if they were checking who they were.

Feeling guilty for a moment, she quickly pulled Gao Yanzong away from the crowd, and the two of them clung to the base of the city wall and watched the investigation at the door from a distance.

The man next to her grabbed her hand and said nervously: "Jiyang City suddenly went under martial law. They are not here to arrest us, right?"

"No." Yuan Wuyou denied subconsciously, and the next moment he received a stunned look from Gao Yanzong beside him.

"How can you be so sure?"

Yuan Wuyou said sincerely: "It's speculation. Let's just say, why should Zhou Guo arrest us? What reasons should we use to arrest us? They wouldn't dare to be so shameless."

Seeing that Gao Yanzong's eyes were still suspicious, Yuan Wuyou hurriedly said, "If you are afraid of being caught when you go into the city, it will be the same for us sleeping in the wild tonight. It's not like we have never done anything before."

Thinking of the unpleasant experience of the two of them fighting over the jade seal at the bonfire last time, Gao Yanzong decisively raised his courage, patted his chest covered with a goggle, and said proudly: "If you go out with your brother, can you still be allowed to sleep on the street? As long as you go out with your brother. If you can enter the city, I will invite you to eat, drink and stay at the best restaurant in Jiyang City.

As he said that, he took out a heavy purse from under the silver skirt. The man took it in his palm and opened it, and there was a golden dumpling inside. Gao Yanzong smiled proudly at her.

"I have been practicing this habit for so many years just because today I can be proud in front of my wife!"

Yuan Wuyou quickly held his hand and blocked the purse. "You have thin arms and legs, but you carry this with you? Isn't it heavy?"

She looked around a few times to make sure no one was looking here, then immediately stuffed his purse back under her skirt.
"There's no need for you to hit people with gold. I just exchanged some cloth coins and five baht coins that were popular in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, you are not afraid of being robbed?"

Gao Yanzong was also stubborn. He immediately grabbed her hand, put down his skirt and armor, and said through gritted teeth:

"I have been spending money to pave the way for so many years. Now I am out to travel around the world. How can I let the girl's family pay for it? What's more, you are still my wife! You can keep your money for sex."

Yuan Wuyou couldn't resist him and insisted on carrying the purse, so he had to cross his arms, squint his eyes and smile at leisure, and asked,
"Why, are you afraid that I can't pay the bill? Although the Zheng Mansion was looted by thieves, not all of it fell into the hands of the thieves. My second grandma also gave me money when she was alive. When I have the opportunity some other time, I will bring you You go and see the secret vault left behind by grandma.”

As soon as the man hung his purse on his waist, he raised his face in surprise, "Huh? Mrs. Zheng still has a secret treasury? Then why haven't I heard you talk about it these days?"

"As the saying goes, what is made is what is secret, what is revealed is what is revealed. Since I am not in my hands yet, I can't tell you, but I will be back soon. Hurry up and hide your wallet. Let's go with your wallet quickly. Just as conspicuous.”

When she said this in a nonchalant tone, she glanced at the city gate intentionally. Most of the people who had passed the interrogation had already entered the city. She and Gao Yanzong stopped at the base of the wall, gradually becoming more conspicuous.

Gao Yanzong looked helpless, "Tsk, I'm supposed to support my wife. If I rely on you to support my wife, what will happen to me? Isn't this trampling on a man's dignity?"

Yuan Wuyou couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
"I just have some money, so I can hide it in the market. Why does it involve a man's dignity? What happened to you today? You are not so strong in daily life and in bed."

Obviously her last words were trampling on a man's dignity.

Gao Yanzong's slender eyelashes suddenly opened, and his smiling peach blossom eyes shot out two fierce lights, which inexplicably made her shudder. The tall and thin man with slender shoulders suddenly leaned over, stretched out his slender bamboo-like fingers, rubbed her smooth chin with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Then another day, I will be stronger in those places."

This was definitely not the time to talk nonsense. Yuan Wuyou couldn't continue, so he lowered his face and took his hand towards the city gate.

"It's important to go to the city first."

Since there was no one lining up in front, only a few ordinary people came in and out. As soon as Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong, two men in armor, stepped forward, they immediately attracted the attention of the gatekeepers and the garrison soldiers.

The leading soldier was a Xianbei Bailu with a tall nose and deep eyes. Because he was wearing black iron armor, his skin looked even more pale, as if he had been dead for several days.

This soldier was originally arrogant and arrogant towards the people passing by, with his nostrils turned upward! When he saw that they were wearing armor, which looked like they were expensive to make, he suddenly changed his mind, lowered his nostrils, ran forward, and greeted them with a smile.

"Whose subordinates are these two generals? Are they here for review?"

Yuan Wuyou felt nervous at the moment. What happened? Are they being treated as one of their own?

Before she could speak, another soldier with a portrait came forward and looked at her and Gao Yanzong with a frown. Then he turned to the leader and said:
"Brother, why do these two look like women?"

The leader finally came to his senses, straightened his face, and coughed, "May I ask, General, whose subordinate is it? What is his name? General, please cooperate with the registration. There has been a murder recently in our Jiyang City, and we are trying to catch the murderer. ”

Yuan Wuyou has such a flexible mind. She was quick to think and nodded sincerely, "My surname is Tuoba, and I am..."

Halfway through her words, she heard an excited voice not far away: "Hey, sister Tianliang! You are the one who was transferred to assist me in solving the case. Tuoba Nu joined the army?"

Looking around, I saw a man in a coarse linen shirt sitting on a wicker chair behind the city gate. He was originally lying there like a puddle of mud, but now he suddenly jumped up from the wicker chair!

This man was holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand and wearing a black gauze hat on his head. He was fair-skinned and came towards Yuan Wuyou with a smile.

The leading soldier with his nostrils turned upward came up to him and turned to the man and asked:
"Magistrate Lu, is this an acquaintance of yours?"

The man nodded, "She used to practice navy with me in the Yellow River. She is a subordinate of King Fengling. She is definitely not a female prostitute."

With that said, Ben Yuan Wuyou walked over with a smile on his face.

"Two days ago, the higher-ups said that they would send a girl from Yuzhou to help me join the army. So it's you? I haven't seen you for a few years, so I think you've grown up!"

Seeing that Magistrate Lu was about to pat her on the shoulder, he realized the difference between men and women and quickly retracted his hand. Gao Yanzong quickly took a step to stop her and yelled nervously:

"Don't be rude! Who are you?"

Yuan Wuyou helplessly hugged the thin waist of the man in front of him, pulled Gao Yanzong back to him, then extended his hand to introduce him:
"His name is Lu Renjia. During the Battle of Luoyang, he taught me Fu Shui and helped me train the Yellow River navy."
