A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 502 Hongfu Qitian Gu

The next morning.

A corner of a teahouse in Bowang City.

Because Yuan Wuyou led his troops to clear the area, there were only the brother and sister in the teahouse at this time, and even the guards from Qi and Zhou could only guard outside.

Yuan Wuyou was wearing a red shirt, with a white cloth bandage wrapped around her left arm. She held a cup of tea in her right hand and looked at the young man in black sitting opposite her.

He sat in a dignified and solemn posture, with his jet-black hair braided into a pigtail, and the thick black braid that reached his knees hung down in front of him. The young man was wearing a pure black gauze dress, but the thin fabric revealed the white bandages on his waist and arms. It looked like he was much more seriously injured than her.

Even though he was a defeated general and a pacifist, the young man in front of him refused to give up his pride. He even stopped pretending to be an ordinary person and showed his scarlet eyes that looked like they were filled with blood.

At that time, Li Ming saw the scarlet phoenix eyes suddenly raised, revealing a pair of sinister and cruel eyes, shooting at the girl opposite, and said coldly: "You pretended to be dead and attacked me, letting Lanling King capture my confidant, Yuan Wuyou, you are really something. The people of Zhou Kingdom don't recognize you as the King of Fengling anymore, why are you still fighting for them?"

"Let's put them aside for now. Let's talk about this today. You do the dirty work of King Fengling for me. When I become the emperor, I will make you the King of Southern Xinjiang. You can just go back to your hometown openly, right?"

As he spoke, Yuan Wuyou pushed the other cup of tea in front of him to the middle of the table. "Try it."

The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, and at that moment, his pupils were slightly erected, resembling cat pupils. "What kind of tea?"

“Camellia Longjing tea.”

Li Mingjian glanced at the light green tea, where a crystal ball resembling an insect egg was quietly floating. His eyes drooped and his expression suddenly dimmed.

"There are camellia trees in front of my building, but I don't like camellias or flowers."

"So what do you like? Only the jade seal?"

He frowned and said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. When I returned yesterday, I found that the life Gu on my chest was gone. Although the humiliation of the alliance under the city will not last long, I have no choice. What do you want to say? Just say it."

"A humiliating treaty? Humiliation? Ha... Don't make preconceived accusations against me. I haven't done anything yet, but you've taken over the initiative. Never mind... I don't want to say anything more."

Yuan Wuyou said in a more frank manner, "I welcome you to return to Huaxu, let you recognize your ancestors and restore your status as the eldest son of the Western Wei empress. Can we shake hands and make peace and face the outside world together?"

"No need, you win. I can't learn to be a truly tolerant and courageous ruler." After a pause, he still spoke in a calm and hard tone.
"Zhou Guo asked me to disturb your mind, but you are not affected by me at all. However, I am determined to get the jade seal. I will come back to this land that gave me life but did not support me sooner or later!"

"Let's wait and see." Yuan Wuyou nodded in agreement and pushed the teacup containing his natal Gu in front of him again.

Li Ming saw her stretching out her slender hand wrapped in two blood-soaked white gauze, picking up the teacup with her bamboo-like white fingers, and looking at her natal Gu floating in the clear water. Her thin red lips suddenly pulled out a self-deprecating smile, looking very sad.

"I wish I could get rid of this thing."

Hearing this, the girl sitting opposite him showed pity. Li Ming was hateful and pitiful. Yuan Wuyou used to resent him, but now he felt more pity for him.

Especially when she saw his hand still bleeding, she regretted stabbing him in the back of his hand yesterday. She was really afraid that he would be bullied in Zhou Kingdom with such a disabled but strong body. "I heard that the Gu worms in Miaojiang are passed down from generation to generation, so the witches can control the Gu worms passed down by their ancestors, so they can't leave the mountains. But you are Han Chinese, is there really no way to escape from control?"

"Maybe there is, but I can't find it."

"Then how can I help you right now? I really want to take you and your uncle out of the Shiwan Mountains and back to your homeland."

Hearing her sincerely call him "uncle", Li Ming's heart suddenly trembled and he swallowed nervously, causing the delicately shaped Adam's apple on his slender white goose neck to slide up and down.

He was a little moved. He didn't know whether it was because she admitted her kinship or because of her tender and overbearing desire to protect him.

But he still shook his head and declined.

"It's not my body that is trapped in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but my heart. Although I don't like it there, I have nowhere else to go."

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou suddenly clenched the teacup in his hand, his eyes solemn and puzzled: "Who said you have nowhere to go? Even if the Longxi Li family doesn't want you, our Yuan family still wants you, Huaxu wants you, my relatives are your relatives, we are blood family."

The young man in black had a cold and stunning appearance, but his expression was always gloomy. After hearing her heartfelt words, his brows did not relax, but became even more gloomy.

It is lifeless, just like a cold and hard jade Buddha.

"The Yuan family has a strict clan concept, and Huaxu has etiquette and laws. You, the crown prince, will not be allowed to bring your illegitimate child into the family tree. Moreover, you and I have a murderous grudge, yet you say this to me... I can only suspect that you have been invaded by my life-defining Gu, or that you think Huaxu is falling too slowly and want to add fuel to the fire."

"Don't worry, I didn't touch your bug. But you, why don't you learn some useful knowledge from the Central Plains, but study these dross?" Yuan Wuyou gritted his teeth and racked his brains to find no way to persuade him. He could only utter:
"I want to make an inappropriate analogy. Throughout history, any emperor who was not a puppet emperor would elevate his favorite person to the highest position and stand shoulder to shoulder with him. As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, everyone else will prosper... You can only blame me for not being able to give you what you want, but you shouldn't be hindered by those rules and regulations, because the rules are set by people, and I can rewrite them for you."

The crown prince's sister in front of him had a grown-up baby face with delicate and pretty features, but the expression between her eyebrows was steady and mature which did not match her age.

Whoever heard her words could feel the favor and exclusive love of a tyrant, and the heroic spirit of a tyrant who wanted to overthrow the world for one person. Li Mingjian suddenly understood why it was said that an emperor had to be able to incite the people and deceive their minds.

She was trying to deceive people, but he was a Gu maker and an analyst of people's hearts, so when Li Ming saw that she was only in a trance for a moment, he pulled away from his emotion and said coldly:
"If you have the time, you might as well expand your territory and recover lost territory. I don't want you to be a tyrant, and I don't want you to rely on others and entrust your life to another person."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his jade-white index finger and dipped a little tea from the cup! Then he leaned over, stretched out his arm, and gently touched the drop of water on the delicate forehead of his sister in front of him.

She looked surprised, but did not hide. "What are you doing?"

Li Ming then gracefully retracted his arm and snow-white wrist, resumed his sitting position, and said, "I grant you the great fortune of the Heavenly Gu. From now on, all evil will retreat without worries, and you will be able to change your fate against the will of heaven."

Yuan Wuyou smiled immediately and said, "Thank you for your blessing, brother."

"It's not a blessing." The young man suddenly raised his sharp eyebrows, his bright red eyes tilted upward, "It's an order. To command the other half of my life Gu in your body...

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze and his eyes turned from joy to surprise.

"What? I got caught?!"
