A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 411 411 Chess pieces must be obedient

The stars are scattered on the sky like splashing ink, and the summer night is warm and cool.

On the outskirts of the wilderness, beside a gurgling stream, a man wearing silver-white fish scales sat on the grass.

Gao Yanzong's eyes were full of sorrow, and he looked blankly at the bay-red horse in front of him, which bowed its head and drank from the stream. He reached out and stroked the thick mane hanging down from the horse's head, and suddenly twitched the corners of his lips and smiled to himself.

"Haha...horses, horses...you and I are really two despicable lives. We are just cattle and horses driven by people. Whoever gives you a bite to eat will go with you. If you have milk, you will be your mother..."

The bay-red horse drank enough of the stream water, then raised its head, put its big head into his arms, and stared at him with its dark eyes.

However, water dripped down from the wet horse's mouth, hitting Gao Yanzong's silvery fish scale armor with a "click, click" sound.

He looked at the water stains dripping on his skirt and didn't care. He only opened his slender eyelashes, and his brown eyes looked indifferently at the head of the horse that came over to comfort him. Finally he couldn't bear it, and tremblingly stretched out his thin white hands to touch its face, and sighed softly... "Alas... why are you Want to get close to me? When you were left to me by your masters, didn’t you know that I would abandon you after using you?”

His tone was not harsh, but he made a joke first.

"Huh...you are quite good at riding a horse, right? You know that if you want to survive, you have to accept your fate. You have to be at the mercy of others and listen to your master."

The bay red horse could not understand what Gao Yanzong was talking about, but would listen to him talking to himself obediently and carefully.

Because there was no one around, Gao Yanzong simply let go and laughed at himself to a horse until his throat choked with tears.

"Haha... Horse, horse, my life is really not as good as yours. A chess piece like me that is incompetent in culture and martial arts... If I am not clever, I will be abandoned and left to fend for myself. But if I am too clever, I will be hated. , if you obey, someone will want you, but..."

When he said this, his throat suddenly choked and he had difficulty speaking.

"But...no one wants me..."

——Yuan Wuyou saw a tall, thin general with a high ponytail sitting by the river from a distance.

He was holding a horse's head and he didn't know what he was talking about. The back of the man and the horse seemed so lonely.

She chased her closer and saw that she heard the man say, "If you obey, someone will want you, but no one wants me."

The sound of horse hooves alerted the general who was sitting on the ground. As he suddenly stood up and turned his head suddenly, Yuan Wuyou took a look and saw that it was indeed Gao Yanzong.

The girl in golden armor was the first to speak before anyone arrived——

"Gao Yanzong! Would you rather hide here and feel sorry for yourself than talk to me?"

After only a moment of shock, Gao Yanzong turned cold.

He snorted coldly,
"Are you here to interrogate me? I know that my sins are serious. You don't need to interrogate me. I will get out of here."

Seeing him reaching out to pull the reins, Yuan Wuyou quickly turned over and dismounted, ran over in two steps, grabbed his thin hand that was holding the reins, and shouted sternly: "Don't go! Your fourth brother told me everything. Now, can we be honest with each other?"

Gao Yanzong struggled to break free from her grasped hand, and suddenly took a step back like a thin silver fish. The sharp eyebrows on his face stood up, and his usually charming peach blossom eyes became fierce and sharp at this moment, and he scolded road!
"How else do you want me to be honest? Are you going to be honest with me?"

The man in front of her looked like a furry fox, baring his teeth at her, revealing his long-hidden, ferocious animality! They are so wild that they feel dangerous and pitiful just by looking at them.

Yuan Wuyou took a deep breath and secretly clenched his hands hanging by his sides into fists, trying his best to maintain a calm expression: "Gao Yanzong, you are obviously helping me and Gao Changgong secretly, why didn't you tell me? Why did you help me while you were there? You two, are you forcing me to drive you away? Who wants Mrs. Zheng’s money?”

Every question she asked was tender and tactful, sad and aggrieved, which was in sharp contrast to the angry and angry Gao Yanzong.

The so-called crying children get sweets. When Gao Yanzong saw that her tone softened, most of his anger subsided. Especially when she asked her last sharp question, his eyes instantly darkened. He couldn't help but turn his face away, avoiding her gaze, and said in an indifferent tone:

"Gao Yanzong should not have wishful thinking and blaspheme Xuannv."

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"To be honest, I am just an ox and horse for the nobles to drive, a chess piece at the mercy of others... I look free and easy, but in fact I am just a vine attached to the strong. I can't even stand on my own, and I can't survive without the control of my master. I can't delay You, I don’t deserve…”

Looking at Gao Yanzong's cold and handsome face, staring at his young lips that opened and closed, Yuan Wuyou, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"Then I can't be a chess player and your master? Ugh!" After realizing the insult and disrespect in his words, Yuan Wuyou quickly retracted his previous sentence and looked at him with distressed eyes.

"You are a kind and righteous person, not a chess piece or a beast. Sooner or later, I will snatch you away from the Gao family, pamper you, and never let you do this kind of thing again."

Gao Yanzong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't help but raise his eyelashes slightly and glanced at her playfully,
"How do you make it sound like a poor girl wants to redeem the courtesan, and then redeem me from my lowly status... and become a good person?"

When the poor girl heard this, she recognized it firmly with her eyes.

"I am indeed a poor girl now, and I am not yet able to redeem you from the old thief Gao Wei and take you home. Then when I am able...are you still willing to follow me?"

Seeing her sincere eyes, she even took his warm palm and grabbed his cold hand due to depression.

Gao Yanzong pursed his chubby lips, his cold eyes softened a bit, and he twitched the corners of his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly,
"Your current reputation is enough, but Gao Yanzong's reputation is not worthy of you. Being associated with me is smearing your character."

"Nonsense! Can you stop belittling yourself and making sarcastic remarks to ridicule me? My reputation as a foolish king is what discredits you."

The man said sincerely, "It's true. Today you mentioned Yuwen Huaibi in front of the soldiers, and I suddenly understood something."

Yuan Wuyou looked confused, "What's the point?"

"It's not that you didn't get the throne in Chang'an. Although Yuwen Huaibi took your throne, his name is your throne."

"This chariot talks back and forth...what kind of throne is not a throne?"

Gao Yanzong calmly took his hand out of her palm, and then hid it by his side. He secretly clenched his fist to feel the heat of her hand, but his face remained serious.

"To be honest... I only dare to talk about it in private when it comes to calling the Emperor of Zhou by his first name. When I see him on a formal occasion, I have to address him as Lord or Your Majesty. At most, I add his reign title of "Tianhe" in front of it. But you really dare to call him by his name openly! You are arrogant and dismissive in front of Yuwen Huaibi, but his name is as arrogant in front of anyone in Zhou Dynasty as if I were here in person. "

Miss Yuan rubbed her wrist, her amber eyes narrowed, and she joked:

"Are you saying that I borrowed his name to gain prestige? If he hadn't wanted you, I wouldn't have wanted to show up in Zhou."

Gao Yanzong suddenly smiled and said, "Your name is enough for me to pretend to be a fox or a tiger."

She suddenly changed the subject, "Then why did you abandon me? If I hadn't forced Gao Changgong to tell the truth, I'm afraid we would have missed each other in this life and would have become enemies."
