A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 615 Three Parties Gathering
Gao Yanzong was so heartbroken that he could not control himself. His hands hanging by his side trembled unconsciously. He did not dare to wipe away his tears for fear of being discovered.

But the sobbing sounds that leaked out despite his efforts to suppress them alerted the girl behind him.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind him. It was the familiar sound of Qi's hard-soled military boots. She seemed to be running towards him!
Gao Yanzong could not help but raise his left arm and shouted:
"Don't follow me!"

His tone was stern and heavy, and he could hardly hide his tears, but his steps became even more vigorous and his strides were as graceful as before.

Gao Yanzong didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth. He also didn't dare to slow down, for fear of turning back, for fear that he would be unable to resist running away to find his mistress and throw himself into her arms, and he was also afraid that she would catch up with him.

Yuan Wuyou stood there, looking at his back, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The golden fish-scale elbow guard on his left arm, which he stretched out to block himself, still shone brightly in the gloomy sky and earth. Just like him, with his red robe and golden armor, he looked like a light walking in the darkness.

Fortunately, the girl behind him didn't follow him and didn't say anything. It suddenly started raining again, and the raindrops hit his head.

Gao Yanzong raised his head and threw his tear-soaked cheeks into the rain, but his steps became more firm and steady, and he moved forward calmly and freely.

The more false he appears, the deeper his love is.

Anyone who is poisoned by love will lose his fighting spirit. Gao Yanzong has truly experienced this himself.

But he couldn't love anymore. Two people who were controlled by others were not qualified to risk their lives for love. He couldn't let her, who was already in a difficult situation, get even more trapped in the mud and on the edge of a knife.

——On the other side, it was raining heavily outside the west gate of Bowang.

A carriage went up the high slope, looking at the garrisons in the two places.

The deputy general Nuo masked man who was chasing from behind stopped his horse in front of the car window, bowed his head respectfully and said:

"Uncle, we have found the base where Bai Lan and Xiang Yang are secretly colluding. It seems that the Tanguts are coming here under the pretext of helping Bai Lan rescue their leader... How should we investigate this?"

At the same time, a cool breeze lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain, revealing a pair of thin fingers and palms wearing black leather gloves. At this moment, the hand was tapping on a three-pointed double-edged knife lying across the window, and a red agate jade bracelet was worn on the thumb.

Hearing this, the owner of the hand paused while tapping the blade, then uttered a word without any emotion:

"kill."

……

Around noon, Yuan Wuyou first arrived at the inn with the person in charge, Xiao Tongyan, but did not go to the main hall for meetings, but entered the familiar main room.

The first thing she asked was where Yi Fuya and Wan Yuwu Yu were. Seeing that she was protecting them by calling them by their names, Xiao Tongyan hurriedly explained that they were taken away by Weiguo Duke Yuwen Zhi halfway, and that they were also accompanied by Yuchi Jiong and his adopted daughter Dugu Jialuo. With Jialuo around, they would surely not allow "that person" to be bullied.

Even Xiao Tongyan knew that Jialuo was hers, which made Yuan Wuyou feel relieved and she didn't ask any more questions. With her familiarity with this place, Yuan Wuyou had already found the Shennong herb bag that she had placed in the wing room, and changed her medicine and found spare clothes to change into. As a result, she had just changed into a black shirt with a cross collar when someone came outside to report that the Zhou Kingdom had sent Yu Li and Su Wei, the son-in-laws of the prince consorts, to deliver the royal uniforms for Fengling.

Yuan Wuyou naturally invited the person in, secretly wondering why the envoy from Zhou State had come all the way to retrieve the clothes of King Fengling and brought them here, but Gao Yanzong, whom he met on the street, was still not here.

She had known that Gao Wei wanted the imperial seal, but she could not give it to him personally, so she took advantage of the news that the imperial seal was in the hands of Xiao Tongyan in Bowang City, and sent messengers to the Three Kingdoms to spread the news last night, taking the opportunity to call Li Mingjian, Gao Yanzong, Su Wei and Yu Li over.

Unexpectedly, the first to arrive were the two most insignificant princes-in-law of the Zhou Kingdom. It just so happened that Yuan Wuyou wanted them to stay out of the matter, but they claimed to be sent by the emperor to deliver the royal robes, and they also wanted her to wear them in a noble manner, just to let her join this inexplicable peace talks as the King of Fengling of Zhou Kingdom.

Coincidentally, just as Yuan Wuyou changed into Prince Fengling's uniform, he heard a report from outside the door that Prince Lanling and Prince Ande of Northern Qi had arrived.

Yuan Wuyou didn't expect Gao Changgong to come. He felt a little flustered, as if he was more homesick. He quickly asked someone to invite the two kings to the front hall, saying that he would arrive soon.

***
After a while, they were in the main hall of Bowangguan Inn.

Everyone gathered together, with a table in front of each of them. In the main seat where Yuan Wuyou had sat when he was "interrogated by the military leader" and first met Gao Changgong, sat Xiao Tongyan, who was wearing silver armor.

She acted like a host and asked the white-robed soldiers to serve tea and snacks to the guests.

The Prince of Fengling, wearing the royal uniform, sat down under Princess Xiao with his hands hanging down. Today was the most comfortable and homely moment for Yuan Wuyou in the Central Plains. Because the women present did not need to dress up as men, nor did they need to wear skirts or put on makeup. Even the only two women present wore armor. However, the two princes of Zhou and the two princes of Qi were all dressed up and dazzling, truly without distinction between men and women.

After a night of smoke and fire and being drenched by rain, the two female heroes, Lord Huaxu and Princess Jiangxia, had dusty faces that could not conceal their heroic features. They did not look embarrassed at all, but rather highlighted their general demeanor.

Rather, it was because the girl, who had gathered her high ponytail into a golden crown, was wearing the royal robes of King Fengling and sat there with such dignity and nobility that the two princes of Qi who had come in the rain could not help but pay attention to being dignified and proper.

The young girl with a strong spine sat upright, wearing a black robe inside, an orange-yellow wide-sleeved blouse, a crotch made of golden fish scale armor outside, and black leather gloves with three fingers on her right hand and four fingers on her left.

Gao Changgong was reserved in front of others and not good at playing both sides. At this moment, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar royal uniform, and the half-palm gloves she had used to draw the bow and shoot at him... it was hard not to think of the Battle of Luoyang six years ago.

He didn't dare to get close to her, and when he thought of her as the King of Fengling who invaded Luoyang, the old hatred came to his mind, and he still cared. Even though he sat farther away from her, he looked normal next to his fifth brother, whose eyes were full of admiration for her, and he had no one to confide in his upset.

In particular, he discovered that the dark green jade ring that was supposed to be on King Fengling's thumb was missing, and instead his fifth brother next to him had a similar dark green jade ring on his fair thumb.

Gao Changgong did not dare to think about it, his heart was bitter and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He had no choice but to stand up and bow, saying that he was not good at speaking and that he came to support his brother. Then, without the host's permission, he stood up, held the sword at his waist, left the table, and went out.

Although no one knew the reason for Prince Lanling's sudden departure, everyone turned their eyes to Prince Ande tacitly.

Gao Yanzong naturally knew what was going on, and he did not dare to smooth things over for his brother. He just smiled and said, "After all, my Great Qi is here today just as a foil, to make the three parties gather together."
