A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 392 392 Lao Li Wonton Shop

Gao Yanzong looked doubtful, but Lu Renjia nodded and agreed: "That's right. We haven't seen each other for six years. The girl who looked like bean sprouts has grown up, and now we two brothers can fight together again!"

To say that Yuan Wuyou back then was really not a bean sprout. She started smoking at the age of twelve. She was just like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and she still had a lot of martial virtue. Otherwise, King Fengling would not be known as "Leaping over the Dragon Gate at Fengling Ferry".

Recalling what Lu Renjia just mentioned about "women joining the army", when Yuan Wuyou heard that there was a case, he didn't dare to pretend to be someone else, so he quickly reached out and interrupted, "Hey, I'm not sent to join the army from above. I'm just passing by. But what happened to you Jiyang?"

Lu Renjia looked regretful, "It's not you, is it? Then why are you taking your lover to the scene of the murder to join in the fun? There is a group of raping and plundering female bandits hiding in Jiyang City, and we can't find them."

As he said that, he glanced at the man in silver armor who was being protected behind her and said, "This is no joke. Let the men around you be careful too."

Hearing this, Gao Yanzong raised his long eyelashes and revealed a pair of sharp and seductive peach blossom eyes, "What kind of female prostitute?"

Lu Renjia obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, waved his hand and said, "I can't explain a sentence or two." Then he stared at Yuan Wuyou with bright eyes and asked with a smile,
"Where are you employed now? I heard that King Fengling has come to Nanyang recently. Are you still hanging out with King Fengling?"

She didn't know how to answer, so she said vaguely, "It's okay to say yes."

Fortunately, Lu Renjia didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
"Then look, it's even less suspicious." He glanced not far away from the corner of his eye, suddenly looked solemn, and patted Yuan Wuyou on the shoulder, "I'll take you into the city. I saw a messenger carrying Huang Lingzi. I'm here, I guess there's some important military information, and I don't want to take the job."

As he said that, he pushed a soldier and said, "You go to pick up the messenger and say that the county magistrate has diarrhea."

Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong were both stunned. It was Lu Renjia who grabbed her wristband and the three of them passed the level in a row.

So even though the two of them were wearing armor, the county magistrate opened the way, so they were able to pass without any obstruction, and they were not even questioned.

The three of them were walking on the road, and after listening to Lu Renjia's words, they learned that recently there was a group of female bandits from the north, who had been lurking for who knows how long. They took advantage of the situation and robbed Mrs. Zheng's family property in Mulan City, Qi State. After that, he was exposed and was wanted by the Zhou government.

This group of female bandits fled all the way, burning, killing, looting, and raping their husbands and men. Pingshi and Huyang have already been looted, and they heard that they are heading north. The government has issued public notices in the past few days to let the prefectures and counties along the way take precautions.

Gao Yanzong didn't want to listen to Magistrate Lu's introduction to the case. He took advantage of the fact that he threw away the guards who were checking at the city gate, and quietly grabbed Yuan Wuyou's wrist guard and asked her with a smile:
"No wonder you said you didn't arrest us. You already knew there were female bandits in this place, right?"

Yuan Wuyou blinked his big amber eyes twice, his long eyelashes fluttering, and his expression was extremely innocent. "Do you think I'm you? I'm full of evil thoughts? I didn't know that much earlier than you did."

Little did they know that as soon as the three people turned around, several fast horses arrived. The leader of the armored imperial army took out two portraits on the spot and asked the guards to identify the men they had not seen in the portraits. He also ordered the guards to paste the portraits on the city wall.

The guard lowered his eyes and saw that the man in the portrait had willow-leaf eyebrows, peach-blossom eyes, and pouty lips. He had a handsome face that was indistinguishable from male to female. There was a reward written on the side for the capture of King Ande of Qi.

The soldier couldn't help but turned around in astonishment and looked at the place where the county magistrate escorted the two armored generals.

——Lu Renjia sent Yuan Wuyou to the city responsibly, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "I still have to go back to the door to sleep. It's not good to be caught without permission. You can do it yourself."

Yuan Wuyou nodded and suddenly remembered, "Your father was selling wontons in Huyang before. This time Huyang was massacred. Didn't it affect him?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Renjia became energetic.
"That's too dangerous, almost! I heard that my father was transferred to Jiyang a few days ago. I just came to Jiyang today and haven't seen him yet. Fortunately, he turned sixty today and can retire from the army. After I get off duty tonight, I will go find him for a bowl of wontons!" At this point, Lu Renjia had already walked out of the street.

He looked back at the city gate and said, "I guess the messenger has left. I'll go and ask what new work there is. You can go to the south of the city to find Lao Li's Wonton Shop, my father's shop."

After saying that, the three of them bowed to each other and said goodbye.

After Lu Renjia left, Gao Yanzong looked at his back, shook his head and sighed: "Is this Lu Renjia here to investigate the case? Why is he a little decadent? It gives people a feeling that it's okay to be alive, but it doesn't matter if you die."

"That won't work, you still have to live."

Yuan Wuyou took the conversation to "avoid prophecies," but Gao Yanzong stared at her sharply.
"You have a lot of connections, don't you? Do you know acquaintances everywhere? Why does he behave so close to you?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to rub his delicate face.
"Did you taste it? Brother A Chong?"

Brother Ah Chong reluctantly took off her hand and said angrily, "Humph, don't blame me, you should get it right!"

She had no choice but to tell the truth: "He was originally from Jiangling in Nanliang. His family was destroyed due to the War of Jiangling. When he was young, he and his father were taken as prisoners of war and sold. His father staged the "Guo Ju Burial" to sell his son. To give his son a way to live, he was bought by my biological father who was the governor of Jingzhou at that time, and was incorporated into the army of his colleague Lu Tong, who was raised by him. I met him once during the Battle of Longmen in Luoyang. "

"Then why does his father call him Lao Li Wonton Shop?"

"I forgot to mention, his original surname is Li, his adoptive father Lu Tong's surname is Lu."

——In the south of the city, Lao Li wonton shop.

Yuan Wuyou asked passers-by, but it took a lot of effort to find him.

Because this wonton stall is called a shop, that is, it is a stall at the entrance of an alley. A cart with a wheel holds a pot, and stuffing is stuffed into the white dough at one end, and the pot is directly put into the pot at the other end.

Then two tables and a few stools were set up, but they couldn't accommodate any more people. Because the weather was so hot, even if the sun went west and it was slightly cooler, the stall was still empty.

The old stall owner looked old at first sight, with white beard and hair. He was wearing tattered black iron armor, and the coarse linen clothes underneath were patched in several colors. Yuan Wuyou couldn't tell how he felt.

As soon as she stood at the door, the old man with white hair and white beard who was packing the dough looked up and saw her. He immediately put down the dough work in his hands and raised his finger to point at Yuan Wuyou——

"Hey! Isn't it five hundred taels?" As she said that, the old man came towards her, his big eyes shining brightly.

"The streets are full of pinched portraits. Why do you come here to give me money?"

Yuan Wuyou was stunned and pointed at his nose:

"Ah? Lao Li, what are you talking about? I'm wanted?"
