A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 495 A Dignified Ending

On the other side, the sword blade was refracted by the starlight, emitting a white light that was dazzling to the eyes.

The sword held in Gao Yanzong's slender hands was splattered with blood. He stood alone at the end of the dark alley with his back straight, looking at the body of the female bandit who had just been beheaded.

Next to the bandit's dead body, there was a little girl holding her brother's thin and naked body. The two children huddled together, crying as weakly as little kittens with their eyes closed.

People love to see the noble fall into the mire, and the chaste become promiscuous. But what they like even more is the promiscuous dying of loyalty, and the romantic dying of devotion. In the final analysis, people like to drag the good people into the water, and persuade the prostitutes to become good people.

When Gao Yanzong learned that someone had hired female bandits to rape him, he couldn't help but reflect on how this would affect him. Before Yuan Wuyou appeared, no one knew that he was still a virgin and had never had physical contact with anyone. Even if he was raped, he would at most feel uncomfortable for a while, not feeling how much he had suffered and humiliated, and mourning the loss of his virginity.

Even everyone around him took it for granted that... a man should be experienced in bed, and being raped by a female bandit was also a display of interest and charm.

But that was a lie and rhetoric that men used to comfort themselves. If his fourth brother were to judge the case, he would have executed the female rapist immediately.

Gao Yanzong almost instantly guessed who wanted to destroy him. After all, he was a slutty person on the outside but pure on the inside, loyal and devoted, which inevitably gave people the impression that they wanted to drag him into the quagmire and expose his true colors. It just so happened that someone in the Zhou Kingdom couldn't stand his affair with Empress Huaxu and wanted to find someone to soil him.

In fact, Gao Yanzong had been accustomed to this kind of situation since he was a child. After he fell in love with Empress Huaxu, he had been vulnerable and helpless waiting for her to save him, throwing himself into her arms, and also killing the criminals without leaving any alive. Now he witnessed with his own eyes the tragedy of the female rapist mistaking someone for him and humiliating and abusing him to the point of almost death, which made him feel even more sad and ridiculous.

When Yuan Wuyou and Chi Luo Tiezhu arrived, Gao Yanzong had already rescued the brother and sister. The white satin coat that he had been wearing was now wrapped around the boy.

He was like a gentle and kind brother, wearing only a white shirt so thin that it almost showed through his skin. He was patiently comforting the crying little sister who was hugging her brother, saying that he would take her brother to get treatment. He tried to persuade her earnestly and snatch the boy away from her.

Yuan Wuyou's voice trembled and he approached cautiously.

"Gao Yanzong...are you okay?"

The man just shook his head. He was silent about his concern for Yuan Wuyou, but when facing Chi Luo Tiezhu who walked into the narrow alley, he sternly accused him -

"How do you do things? You say you are looking for your relatives, but can you abandon your relatives to fight the enemy? Get out of the way! I want to take this child back for treatment!" After a pause, he threatened with a heavy tone and a cold voice, "This is the territory of Da Qi! You'd better behave yourself!"

She suddenly remembered that Gao Yanzong, the fox, could have shown his tiger claws and stood on his own. The weak vine that could not take care of itself and depended on her finally recovered and became the confident, arrogant and fearless Ande King of the past.

That night, Gao Yanzong sent his brother to the clinic, and Chi Luo Tiezhu followed closely with his private soldiers.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The boy's roots had been torn for too long and he lost too much blood, so he died.

After Gao Yanzong covered the person with a white cloth and sent him into the funeral room, he went out and saw a one-armed girl in a red shirt and short robe standing at the door.

As soon as she saw him coming out, she stepped forward and said, "I'm waiting for you to go back to the inn together."

The man looked depressed. He slowly raised his tired peach blossom eyes, looked at the girl in front of him, and walked towards her and said:
"What would you do if I really had an affair with someone else?"

This question was asked suddenly. Yuan Wuyou raised his eyelashes slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his brown eyes, but he answered quickly:
"I will kill those criminals and avenge you."

"Oh, I can kill people to silence them. I mean, what if I volunteer? What if I fall in love with someone else?" Seeing her eyes suddenly filled with anger and opening her mouth to speak, Gao Yanzong quickly continued, "Don't say it's impossible. I am arbitrary like this. I love you now, but I don't want to be with you. You can't stop my heart from being moved by others, right? We have drawn a clear line. Even if I have an affair with someone else, it is my freedom. So what will you do? Set me free, or imprison me?"

"I will do whatever you want me to do."

Yuan Wuyou's teeth were about to break when she said this. Her instinct made her want to break the canary's wings and hide her in a golden house, but her reason made her respect his choice.

Unfortunately, the man in front of him didn't buy it.

Gao Yanzong shook his head, raised his lips and sneered, "Don't say such hypocritical words for my own good. I want to know your heart."

She had no choice but to say sincerely, "My instinct makes me a tyrant, but my reason makes me respect you. It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay."

"Heh. Your feelings are dangerous, and so are your people. You see, right? I'm a troublemaker, and after I got together with you, even more people will hate me. I don't want to cause trouble." At this point, he raised his trembling eyelashes, and said in a low, hoarse voice with a nasal tone: "Just pretend I was never here, and let's part ways in peace."

"I…"

"——Why don't you kiss him and shut his mouth? Why are you listening to him say those depressing words?"

The sudden voice interrupted the two of them, frightening Yuan Wuyou so much that he choked back the words he was about to say.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chi Luo Tiezhu, his white shirt stained with blood, walking out of the funeral room and heading straight towards them.

He looked at me with disdain, and his tone was full of regret:
"Feng Ling Wang, are you still Hua Xu's woman? I've been listening for a long time. He clearly wants to get rid of you, but he refuses to admit it! Can you bear this loss? Either you carry him away and throw him on the bed to solve the problem, or break up."

Empress Huaxu's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Who cares?"

Gao Yanzong also said, "If you don't want to go back to Da Qi, then go with him and be your King of Fengling. If you are unwilling to be dumped, I can think of a more decent ending."

Yuan Wuyou felt cold at the words. She gritted her teeth and groaned sadly.
"No need for that. You two brothers are indeed blood relatives. You both know how to find a decent way to break up! Forget it. The only two times I was abandoned by men in my life were both caused by you two. If you don't want me to go back to Qi, I won't stick with you."

Seeing that her tone became colder and colder, and the man in white shirt who was fanning the flames and stirring up discord couldn't stop laughing, Gao Yanzong was unwilling to give up, and took her right hand with a wry smile.

"I dare not abandon you. Come on, come home with me."

After saying that, he turned around and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Chi Luo Tiezhu, "Now, it's your turn to leave Da Qi's territory!"

Chi Luo Tiezhu was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had become Gao Yanzong's excuse to win back the little empress. He immediately regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

The two people who were quarreling here walked back to the inn without saying a word along the way.

When they arrived at the front hall of the inn, Yuan Wuyou noticed that Gao Yanzong looked depressed, so he offered to take him back to his residence first.

Faced with Yuan Wuyou's caring comfort, Gao Yanzong felt even more heartbroken and bitter.
