A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 593: Unsolvable Deadlock
Her tone was calm, but the tail end of her voice betrayed a bit of anger. Looking at her chest rising and falling slightly as she suppressed her anger, Gao Changgong suddenly realized that he was in the wrong and understood what she cared about.

Gao Changgong was speechless, then his eyes were firm, "I didn't ask you to have only me as your man. I have the bearing and confidence of a wife, not to mention... he is not someone else, he is my own brother."

"What if he steals your position as the principal wife? Will you still be magnanimous?"

The ghost-faced man glared with his black eyes and said solemnly, "No. But I believe he won't..."

Yuan Wuyou then slightly curved his eyebrows and said, "Okay, you still have some principles. If you don't want a wife for your brothers again, I don't want you anymore."

Gao Changgong narrowed his eyes slightly, "You always say that I don't protect my food, but aren't you also distant towards me? Why don't you tell others that your position as your principal wife is reserved for me?"

"If you are sure to marry me, I would dare to say it, but you are unwilling to abandon the Gao family and go home with me. Do you want me to humiliate myself?"

After a pause, her yellow-brown amber eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp edge. "In the past, Gao Wei said that you and Gao Yanzong were a beauty trap. I didn't refute it, but to be honest, this plan is too shallow. He is short-sighted and can only coax me for a while, but he can't make me stay with his heart."

"How can you not be shallow? Like Lord Yuwen, who calls himself the husband of the poor and the wife of the emperor, and reconciles with his enemies, and gives you power, title, and kingdom?"

"Your analysis of Yuwen Huaibi is very insightful, but also shallow. His beauty trap has made all these means just to put me at the center of the storm and fight for power for him."

Yuan Wuyou's phoenix eyes closed slightly, then opened again, her brown eyes becoming darker and more resolute. "Gao Changgong, compared to all kinds of temptations, the beauty trap that I am more attracted to is you saying that you are willing to give up your power and wealth and work with me to achieve great things."

"I..." The man gritted his teeth, then opened his long eyelashes, his dark eyes solemn, "I have the blood of the Gao family in my veins, and the royal family of Da Qi are all my flesh and blood. Maybe Da Qi doesn't need a Lanling King, but our Gao family needs a brave and loyal Gao Changgong."

Hearing his resolute and loyal words, Yuan Wuyou's tense mood inexplicably relaxed and he smiled happily.
"I know. I don't want to force you to do anything. After all, when my biological father followed my mother, his family was in the six towns in the northern frontier. They were also considered to be righteous soldiers. They shared the same hatred and enemies, and the king and his subjects were of one mind. They were not like you and me... Now we are fighting on our own, each serving his own master."

"…Then, just pretend I didn't say anything."

This topic is a dead end, and it is obvious that there is no solution.

Gao Changgong simply avoided the topic, and suddenly looked at the dark clouds and the stone road in front of him with worry.

That was the direction his brother left.

"Can you be nicer to Chong? He actually has deep feelings for you, but he's just stubborn and timid when it comes to relationships. Let's... go find him?"

The girl in red looked up at the sky, and all she saw was dark, gloomy clouds.

"Heh... feelings?"

Her plump lips curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Among all the men in this world... I'm afraid you're the only one who treats me sincerely. His flattery and fawning all come with a price tag. He's a guy who won't do anything without profit. Every time I fall for his tricks, I pay a heavy price afterwards."

Gao Changgong wanted to talk about the "price", but then he thought that "flattery" and "afterwards" were not suitable for detailed discussion, so he had to give up. Fortunately, the girl in front of him gave him a way out and stretched out her right hand to him: "Come with me, go find him."

The ghost-faced man showed surprise and hurriedly placed the dragon-scale gauntlet carefully on her soft palm. But he was afraid that the long and sharp finger guard would scratch her skin, so he trembled and dared not hold it firmly.

Instead, she took the initiative to hold it tightly, with her palms covering each other, and the warmth from her body could penetrate through the metal armor...

Gao Changgong suddenly realized ridiculously that he, a man in his thirties, was not as frank and passionate in his love as she was.

The girl, who was nearly a head shorter than him, held his hand, turned around, and started walking. Gao Changgong was led forward by her, and they walked together on the clean stone road, as if they were measuring the rest of their future together. Even though there were dark clouds overhead and undercurrents all around, the two people's holding hands and every solid step gave him endless confidence and a sense of security.

This kind of atmosphere is most likely to make people impulsive, but he didn't dare to make any grand promises to her. He only dared to say softly and clearly: "If you are willing to stay with me... I am willing to die for you! But you have to go very far, I can't reach you, I..."

The tip of the girl's ear moved slightly, but her hair was messed up by the wind, so it seemed like an illusion.

Gao Changgong's words were incoherent and he just threw the sentence aside halfway through. He could hardly continue, so he simply let his words blow away in the wind, as if he had never said them and no one had heard them.

As expected, the one-armed girl in red and the man with the ghost face had not walked far when they heard a commotion outside the inn!

In a panic, she shook off the man's cold and hard hand guard, and quickly rushed to the door in a few steps!

I saw a group of people blocking the door, one side was wearing red robes and armor, the other side was wearing black clothes, the two sides were on the verge of a fight, one side was the elite soldiers of Qi State wearing armor, and the other side was the soldiers of Zhou State.

When Yuan Wuyou arrived, there were dark clouds above his head and thunder rumbled faintly. Below, soldiers from the two countries surrounded the two leaders and the fight was fierce.

Suddenly, there was a very loud thunder, followed by a string of lightning, splitting the sky regardless of day or night, revealing the faces of the two men fighting in front of the battle!

The man in a red shirt on the side had his hair tied into a ponytail. Even without armor, he still looked strong. He had broad shoulders and a slim waist, but he didn't look thin or weak. He was naturally Gao Yanzong.

The young man on the other side had a thin and slender figure, wearing a black shirt and black pants. His long black hair was tied into a pigtail that hung down on his chest. I don't know what he used to tie it tightly to the front of his clothes, but it just swayed but didn't leave his body.

Gao Yanzong and Li Mingjian were wielding swords and slashing at each other, and sometimes they would get close to each other in hand-to-hand combat, and when they confronted each other, they were both trying to kill each other.

Although Li Ming was thin and slender, his willow-like arms and legs were sharp as knives. He really wanted to kill Gao Yanzong! He took advantage of the man dodging his sword and punched the fox in the face. Immediately, his white dough-like face turned red, and half of his cheek was swollen.

Gao Yanzong was no pushover either. Seeing that this kid only hit people in the face and kicked people in the crotch, he didn't care that the boy was suspected to be his brother-in-law, and used his height and long legs to grab him and beat him!

Gao Yanzong's military strength was fully displayed, and the two men fought back and forth fiercely.

"--Stop! Stop it!" The girl in red shirt who came running over hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice, finally attracting the attention of the two men.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a black cloud that almost covered the ground being carried on the shoulders of a girl in a red shirt.
