A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Wei Gong’s Mission

Wulipo is a small inn, rarely visited by people.

Therefore, as soon as Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong arrived at the intersection of the post station, they met Tuoba Yan who was standing on the roadside, riding a horse with a knife and waiting.

Tuoba Yan, with the midday sun on his head, was quite surprised to see the two people walking side by side.

"Why did you two come just now?"

He squinted at the two of them with his phoenix eyes, and then discovered that there were two slits on the side of Gao Yanzong's thin-legged trousers. Revealing the purple pinch marks and sucking scars on the fair skin...

No matter how slow Tuoba Yan was, he could still guess what the child had just experienced, so he quickly moved his eyes away, not daring to look.

The youngest girl here, with an old-fashioned face at the moment, said in an unquestionable tone:

"Gao Yanzong is going home. Please send him back to Qi."

Gao Yanzong shook his head and said firmly, "I won't go back!"

Tuoba Yan could tell something was wrong between the two of them at that time.

Then he turned around and walked out the door.

After the meal, Gao Yanzong suddenly stood up, his arms leaning on the table were weak, and he stumbled! Fortunately, he had stabilized his figure, but it seemed that his legs were not working hard when he walked, but the girl just looked at him coldly and did not help him... Tuoba Yan felt even more strange.

"You two look familiar. I'm afraid it's not easy to enter Jiyang City. Why don't you take off your armor first and change your battle robe into ordinary clothes? I just asked the guard at the inn to cook lunch."

Tuoba Yan quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to help Gao Yanzong, but he was scolded by the child and ran away. At this moment, Gao Yanzong's whole body seemed to have trauma, trembling and shrinking, but he would not let others touch him!
Gao Yanzong's eyes were alert, and when he met his uncle's doubtful and concerned eyes, he said in a hoarse voice:
"I'm going to relieve myself."

It was really puzzling to the old father.

Tuoba Yan: "..."

Tuoba Yan, a loving father, was just about to ask what the quarrel between the two children was, when the eldest child, Gao Yanzong, stared at him with a pair of sharp peach blossom eyes, walked up to him and said:

Tuoba Yan was secretly shocked and replied calmly,
"Wei Guogong learned that Qiu Guanfu had his accomplices and ordered me to be executed on the spot. How could I disobey? Now his body has indeed been brought to Jiyang City, but..." He saw that the two of them were not affected by Lu Renjia's death. He held on tightly and listened to him attentively. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and earnestly advised:

The question went straight down his uncle's spine.

"She said she was going to Jiyang to collect Lao Li's body. She also said Xiao Lu was killed by you. What's going on, uncle?"

The female bandit leader of Chishui was seeking revenge against Fenglingdu with King Ande. When King Fengling found out, she became furious. Tuoba Yan also heard about it. King Fengling resented Gao Yanzong, so her cold expression was understandable, but now she He took the initiative to get close to Yanzong, why was he so awkward and unwilling to accept it?

Because Gao Yanzong's legs and feet were weak, his posture when walking was unavoidable. During dinner, even when Yuan Wuyou tried to hold his hand and sit down, he avoided it.

***
The two then ate, changed out of their armors, and put on the men's clothes prepared by Tuoba Yan. Yuan Wuyou's change of clothes and his heroic demeanor made him look like a handsome man.

When there were only two people left in the room, Tuoba Yan couldn't help but look at the little girl who also put down her chopsticks on the table.
"Are you two having a conflict? Are you fighting at the end of the bed? Besides... He was indeed sorry for you before, and he still had such a bad face. He really shouldn't have done it. I'll teach him a lesson later."

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, "No need."

Although each of the two people talked less than the other, catching one who was willing to talk could be considered a breakthrough. Tuoba Yan struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Do you know that the Xiao family also covets the jade seal? What kind of strength does the Xiao family have?" Wrong? I stole Mrs. Zheng’s money, your jade seal, and hired a female bandit to assassinate an old minister from the previous dynasty..."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you trying to trick me? Are you sent here by Wei Xiaokuan?" She asked suddenly, confusing Tuoba Yan. He didn't say a word to get her out, so he had to get one?
"Why did the king say this?"

But the girl stared at his casual expression, her eyes sharp and firm, and said:

"You and Lu Renjia are the same! I'm not asking you, but I am sure! First of all, Lu Renjia lied to me, because he was able to contact the prefect of Xiangyang because of Wei Xiaokuan's letter of recommendation, and you and Lu Renjia are obviously both Sent by Wei Xiaokuan!"

Tuoba Yan smiled and squinted,

"Who sent him, and what does he have to do with me? Why is the king suddenly studying my superior? You can't talk nonsense about loyalty."

"Are you still playing tricks on me? I also know the purpose of Wei Xiaokuan sending you here. It is to find out the whole reason why the Xiao family created the life and death book, right? Lu Renjia had previously penetrated into the bandits and informed Wei Xiaokuan and the governor of Xiangyang, right? "

After saying these words, Tuoba Yan, who was originally smiling and indifferent, couldn't help but his eyebrows became serious, his face straightened, and he looked at her deeply.

"Who did you listen to?"

"I knew you wouldn't admit it, so I said it straight away. These were all... told to me by Governor Yu of Xiangyang. And because you killed Lu Renjia, you must take over his mission, right?"

Looking at the little girl on the opposite table with a pretty baby face, but with serious and fierce eyebrows and a formidable aura, Tuoba Yan was inexplicably frightened from the bottom of his heart, feeling like he was being oppressed...

Tuoba Yan couldn't help but swallowed.

"Now that the king knows it, is he willing to help?"

Little Empress Huaxu was indeed right. He was indeed sent by Duke Wei, but he was not on the same line as Lu Renjia.

But last night, in order to gain Yu Wenzhi's trust, he had no choice but to kill Lu Renjia, and he could only be forced to take over his mission. When Tuoba Yan learned that Wan Yuwuyu and the Xiao family were fighting hand-to-hand, Yuxi was subcontracted to be a fake, only to find out that the Xiao family's target was Yuxi! In the name of coming to rescue Gao Yanzong, he wanted to inquire about the news from the leader of Huaxu Kingdom on the way, but he didn't want her to expose Wei Gong's mission.

When Yuan Wuyou heard his frank admission, he couldn't help but raise his sharp eyebrows slightly, and immediately asked,

"Oh? Who do you want me to help?"

The man cleared his throat and said in a serious voice:
"Is the king willing to join Dazhou's camp, find out the true purpose of the Xiao family's King of Hell, and save the people in the book of life and death? After all, the people in the book of life and death are related to half of Dazhou!"

After hearing this, Miss Yuan clicked her tongue and shook her head:
"What does half of the Zhou Kingdom have to do with me? What's more, I know that the Xiao family is not that powerful, and I don't want to offend anyone. I just want to get back the treasure that Mrs. Zheng was robbed."

Tuoba Yan raised his eyes slightly and continued,
"What if there is someone you care about in the book of life and death? Is the king willing to help? You might as well tell the king that I have seen the book of life and death, and there is... the name of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty on it."

Yuan Wuyou immediately shouted angrily, "Absurd! Why do they want to kill Yuwen Huaibi?"

——At the same time, at the door, Gao Yanzong, who had returned from relieving himself and was holding on to the door frame, heard her uncontrollable roar and couldn't help but look up.

The girl had her back to the door and didn't know Gao Yanzong was back.

When Tuoba Yan saw the child's sudden return, he felt nervous. He simply broke the jar and deliberately did not remind her that there was someone behind her. He smiled jokingly at her face:

"Look, you still have someone you care about, right? Since you and I don't know the reason, we have to investigate."
