A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 571 Don't Abandon My Father

The night was restless.

The torches of the soldiers and the candles lit by the people in Bowang City merged into one. The lights that reached the sky almost wiped out the blue color of the night, making the sky look like there was no dawn.

Or all night long until dawn.

In the four-cornered city surrounded by beacon fires on the city towers, every street and alley was filled with the noise of the people, and from the east gate through the west gate, there were sounds of fighting between the defenders and the enemy.

The people's livelihood is suffering, but it is not worthy of being recorded.

There was only one quiet place, and that was where the Zhou army was lying in wait.

At that time, on the long street after the rain, the sparse street lights on both sides were about to go out, and suddenly, a figure covered with a black robe and hat walked briskly in the middle of the bluestone road!

This man was tall, and with his hat on, he looked more than eight feet tall. He had a long sword slung behind his straight back. The wide robe he wore was loose, but it could not hide his breasts that bulged out from the front.

Obviously a female hero.

The knee-length robe of this female hero was fluttering wildly in the wind, whistling and fluttering. The opening and closing of her long legs and high boots were imposing and steady. Every step of her hard-soled military boots was solid and powerful on the washed bluestone slabs.

From the side of the overwhelming black cloak, a girl in a red shirt slowly walked out. Her left arm was wrapped in a white bandage, and she was half a head shorter than him. She walked with a straight back and a tiger-like gait.

But she did not cover her face, letting her bangs be blown away by the wind, revealing her full forehead. Although it was a profile, one could see her delicate facial features were strong and heroic, and her brows were firm.

Even though the girl was tall and strong, she still looked frail and immature next to the burly woman next to her. The momentum of the old eagle and the young eagle was clear at a glance.

They are indeed mother and daughter.

As they approached the inn, the road was quiet and silent. Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but turn his head to glance at his mother. He saw that her back was straight, her steps were firm, and her figure was sturdy.

My mother is worthy of being the Khan of Tianmu of the Northern Dynasty. She has a unique kind of her that no man can give, a strong and gentle sense of protection that comes to you at first sight.

The Qi army attacked Bowang City. The wailing of innocent people and the shrill laughter of the Qi army seemed to ring in my ears.

When her mother and father started their business, they also fought to defend Bowang City. Seeing the city they once protected being destroyed before her eyes, Yuan Wuyou didn't believe that her mother would not be moved, unless her puppet body had really lost all her humanity.

But he saw a lot of tragic scenes along the way, and his mother remained indifferent and silent. Yuan Wuyou, who was walking side by side with her, was afraid that her mother would show her wolf fangs and bite off his head in the next moment.

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but cautiously test, "Mom, who do you think will occupy and who will retreat from the city tonight?"

The black-robed empress beside him hadn't said anything yet when she heard a group of brave soldiers suddenly rushing towards them. Along with the sound of armor rustling, several Qi soldiers in red armor came out from nowhere, suddenly rushed forward, and blocked the way for the two of them.

There was a fully armed Qi general who had been rushing in front. At this moment, he stepped within a few steps of the two of them and suddenly drew his sword, blocking the way of the mother and daughter.

"Excuse me, are you the mysterious master invited by the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Let me make a deal. Please withdraw from Bowang City!"

The general spoke calmly, his tone gloomy and neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not sound like he was negotiating.

Yuan Wuyou was secretly shocked. How could he make a deal like that?
The "mysterious teacher" with a black robe covering his face beside him did not tolerate him and immediately shouted at him, "Who do you think you are? How dare you offend me? Do you know who I am?"

The Qi general who made the rude remarks wore a helmet on his head, a mask that covered half of his face, and a Ming Guang armor. He was completely covered, revealing only his mouth and a square chin without a beard. But he spoke rudely, with a rhythmic and respectful tone:
"Of course I know. I also know the relationship between the Khan and the young master of Western Wei and the King of Fengling of Northern Zhou, as well as why the Khan came."

The title of "Khan" is a bit old-fashioned. When she heard that the person opposite was a remnant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, "That's the person I'm trying to catch. Did I send you here?" When she said this, the female Khan turned her face slightly to the side in displeasure, as if glancing at the girl next to her, and then turned her face straight again, with her chin raised high.

"King Ande has brought disaster to the country and the people, and he has deep scheming intentions. He must not be allowed to stay!"

After all, Yuan Mingjing is an old fox who has been fighting for power with heroes all over the world for decades. He guessed it right and hit the nail on the head.

After his mother reminded him, Yuan Wuyou felt a pang in his heart. Why couldn't he find Gao Yanzong when he wanted to, but he was everywhere?

The Qi general did not respond or refute, but simply changed the subject.

"The Khan is also a dead body. Why did he lead the troops to attack the city and help Zhou to commit atrocities? Why did he have to make blood after Jiangling?"

Yuan Mingjing said calmly, "Due to my obsession during my lifetime, I still have regrets and owe something."

"Then let your obsession, which you owe, come and ask you to withdraw your troops."

"Oh, who are you? How dare you speak nonsense?"

The Qi general did not answer, but turned around and waved his hand.

"Bring them up!" With his order, he asked his subordinates behind him to turn around and look for something, and there was a crowd of people.

After his subordinates brought up a man in a red shirt, the Qi general took off the mask on his face.

It turned out to be a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes. He looked dignified and serious, but there was a sense of calculation between his eyebrows.

Yuan Mingjing, who was wearing a black robe and a straw hat, slightly lifted the brim of his hat, glanced at the Qi general in front of him, and snorted, "Dugu Yongye? Northern Qi sent you to provoke me in front of the battlefield. Did you do it to take advantage of the useless people in Northern Zhou? Or do you want me to consider our distant kinship?"

The name sounded familiar, and Yuan Wuyou immediately remembered that Gao Wei had mentioned that he would send such a person to assist him, so it made sense.

Dugu Yongye pursed his lips and said nothing. He just led the man in the red shirt behind him to the front, patted his shoulder and advised:

"Go see your queen mother."

The man he brought to work was thin, wearing a red shirt, a turban and a hat tilted on his head, with big double-lidded eyes, deep features, fair skin and a handsome face that was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

Just looking at the man's sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes that were as bright as the Milky Way, the mother and daughter were both stunned.

Yuan Mingjing even lifted up his hat, revealing a pair of eyes with furrowed eyebrows and full of disbelief. He was so excited that his voice trembled, "As...as you wish? Aren't you dead?"

Yuan Wuyou was also shocked. "My father? How come he has become so young? When did Qi master the technique of making puppets?"

The Xianbei man in front of her really looked like her father! But his demeanor was completely different. Although Yuan Wuyou's biological father was gentle and amiable, he always had the dignity of a general between his eyebrows, his eyes were firm and resolute, and full of heroism. But the man in front of her not only did not have the blood of a general, but also had a timid look in his eyes.

The expression of being forced into a situation is almost written on his face.

Dugu Yongye's conspiracy here has begun to bear fruit. The man in red shirt trembled and shouted timidly: "Queen Mother! Don't abandon my father..."

These words came like a bolt from the blue.

Even though the mother and daughter did not show their emotions on their faces, the black-robed empress's eyes were moved.
