A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 563: Love Locking Gu

Yuan Wuyou looked indifferent and spoke calmly:

"Your wife is not your soldier or your property. She is your other half, an independent person. If you want to marry her, you must be prepared to protect her and fight against the wolves. Otherwise, why do you want to marry her? If you want her to marry into your family and be a good wife and mother, and you also want her to protect herself and you, what's the difference between that and wanting a horse to run but not eat grass? You might as well marry her, so you can save yourself the trouble and effort. In her territory, she will surely treat you much better than you treat her."

Gao Changgong, who had a ferocious face, seemed to have heard it. His eyelashes drooped slightly and he smiled bitterly. "You are right. I should reflect on myself. It is nonsense for me to say that I have never been in a relationship before and I don't know how to protect my lover. I only ask you one question: do you still love me? Are you willing to marry me? If you say you don't love me anymore, I, Gao Changgong, also have self-respect and will never bother you again."

Yuan Wuyou turned his head, his amber-like clear eyes were now dark and deep.

"What you should ask is whether I can still trust you. Didn't Li Mingjian say that I can't give my heart to someone I can't trust?"

Gao Changgong glared, "I have never had any second thoughts about you!"

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the inn behind the two of them suddenly exploded, and Wei Xiangyuan also hurried back and shouted:

"It's bad, Your Highness! The Zhou army attacked the west gate!!"

Upon hearing that there was a battle to be fought, Gao Changgong instantly regained his fierce and murderous look. He looked at Yuan Wuyou deeply and said through gritted teeth, "Go get my armor first!!"

Then he turned around and walked away, walking like a dragon or a tiger, and even without armor he exuded the domineering aura of a general.

The Chen Dynasty's civil officials were not good at fighting, but the Xiao family's white robe army was quite good at it. In addition, the Zhou Kingdom's soldiers stationed in Xi'e City used force to seize the city, and the Chen family took sides and made things worse.

The total number of Qi's emperor's guards and elite soldiers in the central army in Bowang City was no more than a thousand people, and the majority of the troops were still stationed outside the city. Distant water could not quench nearby thirst, so after a bloody night of fighting, when the sky in the east turned light, they still had to retreat and station outside the city.

Overnight, the flags on the city wall of Bowang were changed again.

Even the young emperor of Qi State, who led the army in person, was driven out of Bowang City in disgrace. Yuan Wuyou could imagine how angry Gao Wei was.

Although she shouldn't feel sorry for him, she did feel some sympathy for him.

Although victory and defeat are common in the military, and the battle situation changes rapidly, even if she brought Yuwen Huaibi into the city, which was suspected of inviting a wolf into the house, but if Qi State had not secretly connived at it, how could Xiao Tongyan and Yuwen Huaibi be so arrogant?

From the moment Yuan Wuyou stepped into the Central Plains, she had inextricable ties with both countries. She would not be called a fence-sitter from beginning to end, but she was indeed wavering.

As the sky turned blue at dawn, Yuan Wuyou felt heavy-hearted as he moved into the side room of the inn again.

She knew that the two countries wanted to win her over, but hated her, but did not dare to kill her blatantly. She was also tired of playing both sides.

It's time to cut the Gordian knot and end everything as soon as possible.

Li Ming, who was wearing a golden Nuo mask, did not shy away from seeing her. After sending her into the room, he sat directly on the armchair at the head of the bed, hung the cloth bundle in his hand on the armrest, looked up at the girl standing in front of him and said:

"Did Princess Jiangxia really not tell you just now?"

"say what?"

"She brought the imperial seal to me to get information. I knew she must be in collusion with her former master, King Ande, so she used your privacy as a token of her allegiance. I thought she would tell you and King Ande. It seems that both the master and the servant are playing tricks on you."

Yuan Wuyou pricked up his ears instantly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What do you mean? My privacy is aside. You said they were in collusion? When did it happen?"

Li Ming took off the bundle hanging on the armrest, took out a slightly dirty bright red round-necked robe from it, and threw it to the head of the bed for her to see.

"Does it look familiar?"

Yuan Wuyou picked up the neatly folded round-necked robe, and instantly a familiar scent of camellia wafted into her nose. She discovered that the dirt on the cuffs was blood, covered with a layer of glittering powder, dotted like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world.

"This is... Gao Yanzong's?" She looked up in astonishment, and the young man wearing a golden mask nodded.

"When Xiao Tongyan came to see me, I smelled the scent of camellia on her body, the same scent you smelled when you saw me that morning. You said you rubbed it off King Ande, so I knew she was colluding with King Ande, so I secretly sprinkled fluorescent powder on her body. As a result... King Ande must have discovered the powder and knew that his whereabouts were exposed, so he took it off and threw it on the road, but my Gu Ghost smelled the smell and found it."

Yuan Wuyou clenched his cuffs in his hands, his face gloomy.

"Thank you, brother, for telling me this."

The young man sighed and said, "Why are you being so polite? Even though I'm using you to make trouble for you, you're my only blood relative in this world besides my father, so I won't betray you."

The younger sister, who was stuffing her round-necked robe back into her bag, was touched and said, "Thank you, brother. By the way, what do you mean by using me to make a nest?"

"Don't you really know? Lord Zhou had his dream controlled by someone. It was a dream about you. He also had the Love Lock Gu on him."

"About my dream? How did you know? And...what is the Love Lock Gu?"

"Because I feel the life of the female Gu in him. To put it bluntly, the love-locking Gu locks away sexual desire, and the person who has this Gu can only be a virgin."

Yuan Wuyou understood a little, "Wait... Are you saying that my relationship with him is fake? I was trapped in a dream with him? Then can you solve it?"

The young man's long eyelashes covered his deep red phoenix eyes and he shook his head.
"The person who controls the dream is more advanced than me. Although he used my life Gu, I could only see that someone had fabricated a sexual intercourse scene for the two of you. It seems to be your first time, but I can't figure it out, and I don't know who the dream maker is."

Yuan Wuyou was puzzled, "Is it the Shuangxu Mirror? Haven't I broken through the dream every time?"

Li Ming saw her long eyelashes raised and glanced at her.

"The Shuangxu Mirror creates an illusion, but the Mingming Gu implants a dream. Because you have a strong dream interpretation ability, you can decipher my dream, but you are deeply trapped in the dream he wove for you. As for the abstinence of the Love Locking Gu, Lord Zhou not only forgot his old dream, but was also not controlled by my dream. That dream builder is not like an ordinary person. My dream and my flesh puppet were both deciphered by him."

"Is it true? So... my concubine is not him, but Gao Yanzong?" Yuan Wuyou felt very uncomfortable. Gao Yanzong became a concubine? If he knew this, she couldn't believe how happy he would be.

"By the way, how can the love lock Gu be unlocked?"

"It's similar to the love poison. It requires sexual intercourse between a man and a woman to release it."

Yuan Wuyou slowly approached the young man on the armchair and sat down beside the bed. "So, the nature and solution of the Love Lock Gu are similar to your Forbidden Gu?"

The young man suddenly glared at her, "How did you know that? Did Yue Lingdang tell you?"

"It's not important. Doesn't that poison make men impotent? How can we get rid of it?"

Li Ming saw the cold look in his eyes, "Love-locking Gu is a Gu worm that is raised with the vaginal fluid of a woman, and it lurks in the boy's body... and only the woman who provides the water can unlock it. And only that woman can make him erect."

Yuan Wuyou's heart tightened, and he blurted out, "So you put the poison in this way? Who is that woman...that sister-in-law?"

The young man turned his head away, and suddenly in front of him appeared the foreign girl who was also blindfolded in the darkness, trembling on him... She had clearly done nothing, but the little girl was trembling and saying "I'm sorry" and "I didn't mean to"...

He struggled to loosen the blindfold in shock and bit her arm hard. With screams, the two were pulled apart, with a piece of her flesh still in his mouth... Later I heard that the girl was left with a crescent-shaped scar by his bite, which is extremely difficult to heal.

The nightmare memories from many years ago suddenly emerged in front of him. Li Mingjian's ears turned red. When he found that he was being stared at by his blood sister's extremely beautiful amber eyes, he glared at the girl in front of him.
"It's the same, but I don't know who she is either, so I don't have to be trapped here for the rest of my life."

"If she died, wouldn't you be a widow for the rest of your life?"

"If the woman who provided the Yin water dies, the love-locking Gu will become ineffective."
