A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 682: 682 Million Gold for Pawn
The black-clothed youth covered his eyes with long eyelashes, hiding the fleeting smile of triumph in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"I only let you take a look at it at that time. The empress was afraid that the wolf would hurt you, so she asked me to take the wolf away. My mother asked me to strangle it to death, and I secretly released the wolf. Later... I met it on the road once, and it recognized me."

Yuan Wuyou comforted him casually:
"Your wolf is very human-like. Even if it is released into the wild, it will definitely become the wolf king."

"But it regarded me as a family member. It thought it would meet me again sooner or later, so it didn't want to merge with other wolf packs. Fortunately, it waited for me."

"I feel sorry for it, clinging to its obsession and becoming separated from its species."

"Wolves, like humans, have the power to choose how to live, rather than being fixed on how to survive. He is a lone wolf, and so am I, but the person I want to wait for seems to be nowhere in sight."

"Who?"

The girl just asked casually, but the young man in black with a serious look in front of her was already in a state of panic.

"You asked knowingly."

"I am here."

The girl sitting opposite me had smiling eyes and a charming little red teardrop mole under her right eye, which made her look more gorgeous.

Wan Yuwuyu only felt a lump in his throat.

He suddenly realized that after three years of not seeing him, his young master had really grown up and had become somewhat calm and outspoken like an adult woman. She had long been able to stand on her own, but was drifting further and further away from her original aspirations.

"You are here physically, but your heart is not here. I would rather see a tyrant who doesn't recognize his relatives and treats men like clothes. I would rather choose eight hundred male favorites for you than see you marry far away for a foreign enemy. Hua Xu's future is really dark."

"...How come you are so young, but you are preaching to your daughter in a more fatherly manner than my master, hoping that she will become a successful woman?"

"What else? I won't beat around the bush, but what I'm saying is the truth. If you volunteer to be a tyrant, Hua Xu will surely die."

"I know, but I'm busy right now."

"In the final analysis, you are not interested in this. If the two princes of the Gao family spoke, I am sure you would do it immediately. Is this the so-called male power?"

"Well, it seems to be true, but they won't give me such a far-flung mission."

"I've said before that you can trust me. Even if you exile me, I'm willing to come back to you at any time. We will meet again in the end. I'll be waiting to see you in Chang'an... Then you have to promise me that you will come back to Chang'an."

"..."

After not seeing each other for three years, the old friends who had become enemies finally put aside their past grudges and reminisced about the past in peace and tranquility for a while.

Because the ten thousand taels of silver were only good for one hour, the brothel owner suddenly came in with the guards and interrupted the group, forcing the two men to leave the inner courtyard.

When the two of them went out, Wan Yuwu glanced at the male fox waiting outside the door, who was wearing a pink wide-sleeved shirt and was dressed gorgeously, rolled his eyes, and reminded her not to forget to redeem Feng's jade.

He just passed the man and walked away.

As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, trouble comes from all sides. Even the guards at the door mocked her and asked her if she could deliver the ten thousand taels. As the crown prince of Western Wei and Prince Fengling of Northern Zhou, could it be that she couldn't even come up with ten thousand taels?

Yuan Wuyou just turned around and glared at the two of them, and said unhappily, "What you should worry about is not whether I have the ransom, but - don't knock or touch my jade disk!"

As soon as he saw her go out, Gao Yanzong, who was guarding the door, came over.

Gao Yanzong noticed the ring on her middle finger at a glance.

"Where did it come from?"

"Given by Wan Yuwu."

"Why did he give you the ring for no reason? Is there anything special about it?"

"He said it was a family heirloom. He has a sword inside. If the Tanguts harm me, it can prove me." Gao Yanzong snorted coldly, "He is really good at making excuses. He is really good at judging people. But I am a man, and I know best what he is planning."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by him giving you the heirloom? What do you mean by giving me the ring of Crown Prince Huaxu? That's what he meant."

"No, we don't have that kind of relationship."

"You should ask him if there is any."

Yuan Wuyou: "..."

Bell was very efficient. Before Yuan Wuyou could stand at the door and chat with Gao Yanzong for a few words, Jialuo, wearing a black shirt and soft armor, came driving a small carriage, carrying an embroidered satin bundle on his back to redeem the pawn.

She lifted the curtain, took out a bundle with her bare hands, threw it on the ground, and showed it to Yuan Wuyou: "Young Master, silver, ten thousand taels."

Yuan Wuyou just shouted "Okay!"

She then took out another bag and opened it to reveal a pile of gold ingots.

"Gold, ten thousand taels."

"My goodness, you are really afraid that you won't be able to redeem the person."

As he spoke, Yuan Wuyou looked at the small carriage that looked like a sedan behind Jialuo, and other ideas came to his mind.

Jialuo threw the bag down angrily and demanded to redeem the pawnshop. The guard did not dare to delay and hurried in to find the brothel owner.

However, the person inside told Yuan Wuyou that the pawned "jade bracelet" had been handed over to the Prince of Hua Kingdom, Wei Tuohua. Wei Tuohua also left her a message, asking her to wait there.

Even if Yuan Wuyou had anticipated that they would ask for her tiger talisman as compensation and would definitely do something, but now her lover was here, and she had her loyal subordinates and the small leaders of her vassal states behind her. It would be a laughing stock if she gave in.

Yuan Wuyou naturally refused to give in, and angrily rushed into the room with his sword drawn!
As soon as she rushed forward, Jialuo followed her very quickly. Several guards were naturally not enough for her to fight, and the brothel owner who was in charge was so scared that he hurried out to smooth things over.

She didn't waste any words and directly put the sword on the neck of the procuress who was rushing in front of her!
"Call Chongming over here, quickly!"

The brothel owner said in embarrassment, "I have asked someone to urge them, but it won't be quick..."

But her next words were unexpected even to Gao Yanzong who followed her in!

"Then make room for me. I'll sit here and wait for him."

Gao Yanzong immediately shouted, "What are you doing with Wei Tuohua? Can't you just search the whole courtyard for people?"

The tall and handsome girl glanced at him impatiently.

"What kind of place is this? Is it appropriate for me to conduct a massive search? Besides, the Rang County guards don't obey my orders."

"Then is it suitable for you to live here? Aren't you afraid that it will affect your reputation and cause gossip?"

Yuan Wuyou ignored him and retracted the sword that was on the madam's neck. "You go and clean up the two empty rooms, and I'll take one."

As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Jia Luo, "You two take the gold and silver ransom to the other room and wait for the steward to show up."

Yuan Wuyou thought about it and realized that with her uncle Wan Yu in the hands of the rebels, it was not a solution to let Wan Yu Wu Yu be held hostage by Zhou Guo. She could only take the opportunity to get her uncle out to solve the problem once and for all.

But official prostitutes were by no means illegal prostitutes, they were people with the seal of the court and recorded in the records. Even if they disappeared, they would be found alive or dead, and the government would hold them accountable.

Uncle Wan Yu is now being controlled by the imperial court and Chishui forces. Although both sides have a good relationship with her, they need an opportunity to make peace. If she forcibly takes him away at this time, I am afraid that both the imperial court and Chishui will become her enemies.

Therefore, before Yuan Wuyou had come up with a foolproof plan, she must not let anyone know that she had the plan to "save Fengchen".
