A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 435 Chapter 435 Breaking the Promise and Taking Your Last Name

Ignoring Tuoba Yan, who had just been caught and sarcastic, Li Ming glanced at Yuan Wuyou sideways.

"I didn't choose you, just you. Don't forget what you promised me last night."

Yuan Wuyou tapped his chin, "I'm showing sincerity."

Hearing this, the Gao brothers on the side immediately patted her shoulders and said in unison: "What did you promise him?"

"Children, please don't interfere in adult matters."

After Yuan Wuyou said that, he pushed their hands away and locked his eyes with the young man in black in front of him, "Do you have anything to do with the Xiao family's book of life and death incident?"

When Gao Changgong heard this, his black eyes suddenly widened, "You two are the only kids here, right?"

Ignoring Gao Changgong's interruption, Li Ming said impatiently, "It has nothing to do with the Xiao family, but with the Chen State. When I came to the Central Plains from Shiwanda Mountain, I took the opportunity to pass by the Chen State."

Hearing his sincere answer, Yuan Wuyou nodded.

"Well, please, Your Highness, follow us into Jiyang City. There are two roads leading to Yuxi now. The first one is in the hands of Yuwen Zhi who is stationed in Jiyang City, and the second one is in the hands of the Xiao family. We are about to Go to Jiyang City to verify the first route, and I will give it to you as soon as I get it."

Li Ming saw a sinister look on his face: "What if you break your promise?"

"I broke my promise and I will take your last name."

"Isn't that still Yuan?"

Seeing him say this without thinking, Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, unable to hide his arrogance, "Tsk, isn't your surname Li? Do you think you are a member of our Yuan family?"

"What if I'm willing to let you have my last name?" The young man suddenly spoke with impulsiveness, and his brown eyes instantly filled with anger! "Stop being so verbose, eat my poison, I won't tolerate you going back on your word!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and showed something between his index and middle fingers, and raised his hand to throw it into Yuan Wuyou's mouth!

It's too late, it's faster than that! The next moment, the young man's thin white wrist was stopped by three people with quick eyes and hands!

"Hey, hey, don't!"

Tuoba Yan and Gao Changgong, one on the left and the other on the right, held Li Minjian's wrist tightly, while Gao Yanzong hurriedly pulled Yuan Wuyou back.

Seeing this, Li Ming said coldly, "You three, Gao, please let go of your hands! I'm just scaring her."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yan was shocked, "How do you know?"

The next moment, Li Mingjian suddenly raised his leg and kicked Tuoba Yan hard on the knee! Before anyone could react, he had already finished kicking him, leaving Tuoba Yan to let go of the hand that clamped the boy's wrist bones in despair, his knees bent so painfully that he almost fell to his knees.

In everyone's astonished eyes, the young man looked at Tuoba Yan who looked in pain and sneered, "I only need to use her dreams and consciousness to know who colluded with her and betrayed me."

When Li Ming saw these words, everyone present was shocked.

The person involved, Yuan Wuyou, couldn't hide the horror in her eyes and gave Gao Changgong a look, "Let him go." Seeing that he let go of the boy in black as instructed, she forced a calm tone and looked at Li Mingjian calmly, "You And what about the skill of peering into other people’s dreams, right?”

"You can also eat my worms."

As he spoke, Li Mingjian suddenly exerted force with his thin hands, pinched her wrist, turned it over, and pressed her palm with his fingertips... Gao Yanzong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "What are you going to do to her!"

The young man suddenly used his delicate fingertips to rub the flesh of Yuan Wuyou's palm. The stroke was like fine feathers, which stretched from the palm of her hand to her whole body. Her blood suddenly became tingling, and her whole body suddenly felt excited and her lower abdomen tightened.

She couldn't help biting her lip, glaring at Li Mingjian with her reddish eyes, and withdrew her hand with anger, but Gao Yanzong grabbed it and held it in his hand.

"Aren't you going to recognize me as a blood relative? What does this mean?"

Others didn't know what little tricks the two men were doing. Gao Yanzong was in the front, but they could see clearly that he immediately gouged out the young man in black with a cold gaze!

The man held the girl's warm and thin hand, and he greatly doubted whether this frivolous boy was her blood brother.

The young man still had a sinister look on his face, staring at the girl dressed in men's clothing in front of him, and said coldly,
"Do you have cold poison on your body? So the toad poison that Xian Cangying took from us back then was put on you? No wonder you... are so hungry for men."

His understatement made the Gao brothers on the side have different expressions, especially Gao Yanzong, who felt relieved that the injustice had been vindicated! After all, her anger was vented on him.

"...I bet you were the one who poisoned me? What about hunger...did you do it on purpose?" Yuan Wuyou was a little ashamed just now, but for a moment! Reacting to a man who might be a blood relative... Now it sounds like this guy may have deliberately aroused her desire.

"That's not true. This kind of obscene poison must have been given by the high priest." After Li Min categorically denied it, he narrowed his amber phoenix eyes and stared straight at the girl in front of him, pretending that the people around him didn't exist.

"Once this cold poison breaks out, there is an urgent need to collect yang and replenish yin. You may have been affected by the Shuangxu Mirror recently, which stimulated your emotions and blood. But this way of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause can easily lead to obsession. You'd better hold it in for a few days first. Ben Peiyuan, you can follow me back to Shiwandashan another day, and I will give you the antidote to cure it."

Upon hearing this, Gao Changgong said in a deep voice, "Are you going to put her under house arrest?"

Gao Yanzong also sneered meaningfully, "Tsk, what kind of therapy is "radical cure"? What kind of medicine is not available in the Central Plains?"

When Li Ming heard this, his brown eyes suddenly became sharp and he squinted at Gao Yanzong, "Don't be too dirty, Prince Ande. She and I are blood brothers and sisters. We are ethical in the Central Plains, right?"

The two of them were going back and forth, and Gao Yanzong's riddle suddenly became less obscure. So everyone present except Gao Changgong understood, and the tips of Miss Yuan's ears turned red, and she hit the man behind her in the abdomen with her elbow, and hurriedly urged,

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

On the way into Jiyang City, Yuan Wuyou said that she had already learned from the mouth of the governor of Xiangyang that Houliang, who was guarding Jingzhou next door, had lent 100,000 to the Nanliang gang and the last royal family of Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi. Two taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold. In the name of rewarding the old master's clan, Chen Guo also gave the Xiao family of Houliang 200,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, and Yun brocade silk and satin.

However, these registered items have recently appeared on the black market in the Chishui bandit stronghold and in the homes of Northern Zhou courtiers. Especially the Jinling Yunjin, each one has the hidden mark of Chen Guo's embroidery workers. A few days ago, the bandits just started assassinating the old officials left over from the previous dynasty, and there was news in the Zhou Dynasty that corrupt officials were colluding with Chen Guo.

This makes people curious, what is the reason for the feuding Xiao and Chen families to join forces to disrupt the Zhou Kingdom?

It can be seen that these Nanliang princesses wanted to be the king and the loser in this chess game, but they seemed to have become the scapegoat. From the current point of view, Xiao Tongyan must have selfish motives. But I don't know if she wants to take over the "mandate of destiny" for Nanliang more, or to avenge her motherland.

After all, before the Western Wei Dynasty launched an attack on Jiangnan, Emperor Liang Yuan had snatched the throne from the crown prince and several brothers. The Xiao family's own affairs were already in chaos. In addition, the Xiao family sent troops to the Empress of the Western Wei Dynasty for help, but instead led a wolf into the house. The powerful ministers rebelled and established Chen Guo and other factions...

Now Xiao Tongyan's life experience is still unknown. To find out who she wants to avenge for whom in the Xiao family is a big project and needs to be investigated.
