A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 400 400 Chasing the Female Bandit

But when he mentioned Yunzhou, Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but think of Yu Wen Huai's "Wei Gong's clever plan" before.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Lu Renjia, and asked with a smile, "It was Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Yun State, who sent you here? You came with a mission, right? What strategy did he have in mind for you to do it?"

Lu Renjia was stunned by her question, "Huh? The king is joking. I am just a county official and have never met Duke Yun. How can I talk to him and become a pawn in front of him?"

Taking advantage of regaining control of the situation, Yuan Wuyou took Gao Yanzong's wrist and found the wooden table to sit down.
"I was invited to the Zhou Kingdom by your emperor several times, all thanks to Wei Gong's ingenious plan. Even King Ande was wanted. Now that we have said it, you guys want to send us back to Yuwen Huaibi to receive the reward. , or handle the case first?”

This is a question made knowingly.

Let's not talk about the past of this former crown prince and ruler of Huaxu State with the current emperor. Just saying that she was invited to the Great Zhou by the emperor, and that she was allowed to travel around the country, even the emperor couldn't do anything to her. If they dared to meddle in her affairs, wouldn't they be courting death?

Lu Renjia, who turned around after her, didn't hesitate and said with an apologetic smile:
"The king is here, and we will serve you with delicious food and drinks. Your Majesty certainly doesn't want to hurt you. As for the case... the county government officials have already chased you. I heard that the gangster's hiding place has been locked."

Yuan Wuyou glanced at Gao Yanzong, who was unusually silent next to him, and volunteered, "Can we help?"

The iron pillar standing nearby opened its folding fan with a clang.

"Those gangsters are very cruel. If the king of the country is hurt, we can't explain it to the emperor. This time my second brother is involved in the situation. He is a martial artist and he will definitely be able to protect himself. How about..."

He turned to look at Lu Renjia, "I will join the army with Tuoba to pick up my second brother. Magistrate Lu will stay with the female monarch."

At this moment, Gao Yanzong suddenly stood up from behind the table:

"Then let me go." Then he lowered his head and looked at the surprised girl beside him, "Shall I go take a look for you?"

The man didn't ask for her permission. He walked around the wooden stool and was about to walk out, but Yuan Wuyou grabbed his wrist guard.

"Why are you joining in the fun? How can I rest assured!"

Gao Yanzong calmly pulled back his wrist that was grasped by her, but before he could pull it out, he helplessly spread his clenched hands, revealing a gold ring in his palm.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"This is what I found on the corpse of a bandit on the day I was massacred in the Zheng Mansion. Xiao Tongyan admitted that this thing came from the Xiao family. I have to go find out."

Looking at the dazzling ruby ​​on the ring, Yuan Wuyou suddenly widened his amber eyes, "You actually hid something like this from me, why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't tell me either."

The two of them whispered to each other, which made the people next to them couldn't stand it any longer. Tuoba Tiexian said "Huh~" in disgust, and waved his hands to several Zaoli to follow her. Gao Yanzong didn't want to follow him. He patted Yuan Wuyou's shoulder to comfort him, turned around and ran away.

Before Yuan Wuyou could stop him, the man ran away in a hurry, leaving her with a happy figure behind him.

After Lu Renjia saw Gao Yanzong off, he secretly glanced at the armored girl on the table with a complex expression on her face.

He tugged on Chi Luo Tiezhu's fan and asked quietly:

"Military advisor, don't you boast that you never make mistakes in love? How can you pursue someone like the king?"

Chiluo Tiezhu used the folding fan as a warning and patted his hand: "You bastard, this belongs to the military advisor!"

"Military advisor, you are a well-fed man but you don't know that a hungry man is hungry."

"Confused! The case is urgent at the moment. I'm here to keep an eye on the Lord Huaxu. Go and ask if the gangsters have been caught. I'm not good at using force, and I guess King Ande is even less good. I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat those female prostitutes."

Then Yuan Wuyou, who looked confused, watched Lu Renjia being pushed away, and Chi Luo Tiezhu bowed gracefully. "I'm here, Nanyang County Duke Yao'er, to greet Luo Tiezhu and pay homage to His Majesty the Lord of Huaxu Kingdom."

"No need to be polite, sir! Please sit down."

As soon as she stood up and raised her hand to stop him, Chi Luo Tiezhu twisted his waist and sat next to her.

Looking at the man's phoenix-eyed smiling eyes, Yuan Wuyou felt a little embarrassed and casually said:

"Mr. Zhong Lingyuxiu, why are you named Tiezhu? It's so simple? I wonder if your name is honored by the name of the Duke of Nanyang County?"

"My father's name is not as simple as mine. My father's original name was Chiluo Yong, but because the word "Yong" violated the taboo of naming the emperor of the dynasty, he changed his name to "Xie". And my elder brother also has a nice name, such as today's in-depth study The second brother in the bandits is named Yuliang, the eldest brother is called King Kong, and the third brother is called Shizhu. I heard that I also had an older brother named Shan Gen, but he died young..."

Yuan Wuyou had something on his mind and had no time to listen to him going through the family tree, so he reluctantly took out the sapphire gold ring.

"Sir, there is no need to rack your brains to delay me. I have important clues related to this case. Let's hunt down the female bandit together."

***
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the tired birds return to their nests.

In the west of the city, beside the altar of Chu Wu, outside the Shaosiming Temple.

Because I don’t know which room in the temple, there are several screams one after another from time to time, and they are always suppressed instantly as if they are being strangled to death, which makes the crows on the tree branches outside the temple start to rise and fall, and then I was scared away one after another.

The strange thing is that none of the Zaoli who went to Shaosiming Temple first came back to report the news.

On his way there, Gao Yanzong picked up Lao Li, who was rushing on his way. When the two finally arrived, they saw from a distance that there were several corpses lying on the ground at the entrance of the temple with tragic death looks, their clothes were wide open, and their lower bodies were naked. And their pants had long since turned into rags and were spread all over the floor.

At the same time, there were several female soldiers in white robes standing not far away, some were wearing belts, and some were standing guard.

Seeing this, Lao Li, who was wearing black iron armor, was so angry that he rushed over.

However, the two closest female soldiers in white robes raised their arms to stop him.

Lao Li roared angrily——

"It was the Xiao family who sent the signal for me to come here! Are you and the female bandit accomplices? Who is kidnapped inside?"

When the female soldier blocking the road heard this, she turned around and shouted in confusion: "Sister Biao, this old guy has brought a beautiful boy!"

Gao Yanzong, who was following closely behind, heard the sound and stepped forward, holding the scabbard in his hand and sternly raising his eyebrows, "Whose subordinates are you? How dare the Xiao family collude with bandits to kill Zhou's ministers? You are so brave!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a curse from inside:
"Hey, where did the little slut come from with such an official tone? Do you dare to teach me a lesson?"

Gao Yanzong followed the sound and saw a sturdy woman walking out of the door, who must be "Sister Biao". She was wearing her belt, and he didn't dare think about what she had just done.

As soon as the two met each other, his eyes widened in shock.

Maybe it was a hot day, so the woman was wearing armor with a slanted collar and half of her tanned arms were hanging out to dry. He just glanced at Gao Yanzong with contempt, then sat on the stone bench at the door with his arms stretched out.

"Tsk, I thought I was some bastard who didn't have a woman to deal with. He went crazy and came here to find me. Turns out we are an acquaintance. We haven't seen each other for many years. Who did King Ande come to Dazhou to trap again?"

As she spoke, she sat in a wild posture, crossing her legs and putting her feet on the stone table.
