A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 533 I'm on the same path with you

Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Huaibi's next words came:
"That man has been stationed at Fengling Ferry and has been rebelling against the imperial court for many years. Various states and counties have fought against him many times but to no avail. Now that he has risked his life to show up, he must have ulterior motives! The banditry is not worth mentioning, but I heard that he is also the madam of a brothel... If he intends to collude with you, you must not go along with him."

Yuan Wuyou frowned, "Am I someone who can't tell good from bad? Or do you just want to control my every move?"

The Xianbei man choked when he heard this.
"I have no such intention... I only heard that he has a strange appearance and is not content with the world. He has lived in that kind of place for a long time, so he must be proficient in magic. How can he be a decent man? I'm afraid he is even more reckless than King Ande. If he finds out that you are a girl, he might..."

"In your eyes, am I so hungry that I don't refuse anything?" Looking at her sarcastic expression, Yuwen Huaibi was speechless.

"I'm just reminding you..."

Yuan Wuyou said calmly with a stern face, "Thank you for your warning, Your Majesty. I know my limits."

Seeing the two men in a stalemate, Yuwen Xiaobo, who was behind them, hurried forward:
"Your Highness, you don't know yet, right? Dugu Jialuo's carriage was robbed just after it left Xi'e City, but she killed all the robbers, leaving no one alive."

"Where is Jialuo now? I will go find her immediately."

"He must still be resting in Xi'e City. It just so happens that His Majesty is also going back to Xi'e City. By picking up the Duke of Nanyang, we can have an explanation with the Prime Minister."

So Yuan Wuyou had no more words with the king and his minister until she returned to Xi'e City and met Jialuo again. She said goodbye to the King of Zhou without hesitation and left.

At that time, the two sisters faced the setting sun and led a dozen private soldiers driving carriages behind them, heading eastward again towards Bowang City.

Eight horse-drawn carriages were loaded with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the rolling wheels left deep ruts along the way.

As a result, not far from the city gate, just on the official road, I saw a white shadow suddenly rushing out! Yuan Wuyou, who was the vanguard in front, rode forward without hesitation, and Jialuo beside him followed closely behind.

Unexpectedly, before they had walked far, they saw a group of people rushing out from both sides. The leader was still Wei Tuohua, wearing a white shirt and a curtain, and behind him were a dozen of his men in tight clothes and armed, all riding horses and surrounding them, blocking the way ahead.

Seeing this, Jialuo quickly drew the sword from his waist and was about to step forward to fight, but was stopped by the red-shirted girl beside him.

Yuan Wuyou urged his horse forward alone, heading straight for the man who had left.

"You again? Why are you blocking the road? Do you want to kill the king?"

Seeing her approaching him, the man in white shirt and white horse immediately stopped his horse and faced her.

At that time, the two were less than two meters apart. Through the layers of white gauze covering the bamboo hat, Wei Tuohua could only see the young man riding a black horse, wearing a red shirt and one arm, and wearing a high ponytail.

The man in white shirt came out from under the white gauze curtain and said in a cold and stern voice: "Your Highness has stopped me from taking revenge, so you must take the blame for me. But..."

"Oh? You want a fight?" Before Yuan Wuyou finished her words, Jialuo on the side urged her horse to guard to her side, holding a sword and ready to fight at any time.

Seeing this, the man on the white horse opposite said "tsk" softly, "Why are you so nervous? Your Highness is really violent. I still have something to say."

He suddenly raised his voice to a hook, sounding sarcastic, which made Yuan Wuyou's heart go on fire. He remained unmoved, only frowned and raised his eyes.

"You are a great threat to the court. Now you dare to block the official road with great fanfare. Aren't you afraid of attracting a large army to attack? If you are not here to rob money, are you here to enforce justice and kill me, a useless and incompetent emperor?" Her words, which first threatened him with a dangerous situation and then ridiculed herself as a tyrant, stunned Wei Tuohua for a moment. Fortunately, he was not distracted by her thoughts and immediately replied in a deep voice:
"I am here to make friends with Your Highness. I have just learned that you are the crown prince who saved the day in Huaxu a few months ago, and now you have an affair with Lanling Wang and Ande Wang of Qi... This uncle and sister-in-law have an affair, and the brother has an affair with the same brother. He is not a tyrant, but he is indeed a playboy."

When she heard him mention the "female crown prince" and said in a sarcastic tone that "the uncle and the sister-in-law are having an affair", the girl in red sitting on the black horse opposite her immediately frowned fiercely and looked cold!
"Who told you? Tuoba Yuan? Or Piao Yao?"

Yuan Wuyou was extremely panicked at the moment. Yuwen Huaibi had just reminded her to be careful of the brothel owner who might collude with her with ulterior motives after learning that she was his daughter, but she hadn't taken it seriously.

As a result, the brothel owner jumped in front of her.

"Your Highness will soon know who told you." At this point, the man in white suddenly raised his hand and pointed behind her.

"Your Highness, have you counted the things I returned and found anything missing?"

Yuan Wuyou looked back and saw several horse-drawn carriages carrying Zheng's treasures appearing in the distance.

Thinking about the fact that Wei Tuohua asked Tuoba Yuan and Biaozi to return the property and put the letter to make friends with her in the "Xuannv Sutra", but it was seized by Zhou Guo, she knew what he was referring to.

When she turned around again, her baby face with delicate features was cold and hard, and her eyebrows were gloomy and serious.

"You have the secret letter of the late emperor's will? How dare you block my way and show off to me? You are so brave!"

Being accused of a huge crime for no reason, Wei Tuohua retorted without hesitation:

"Of course not! If Your Highness lost the secret letter, shouldn't the person who handled it be questioned? Tieshao has already returned the property and the secret letter. It's just that everyone in Zhou State has their own ulterior motives and is playing a trick on you alone!"

Seeing the girl sitting on the horse opposite, she seemed to be really moved by what he said, with her sharp eyebrows knitted on her heroic face, Wei Tuohua continued while the iron was hot: "You don't have to recognize them as your father, and I am here to help His Highness escort the carriage."

After hearing the last sentence, Yuan Wuyou suddenly realized what his purpose was in laying out all this; it was just a plot to sow discord.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows and said impatiently:
"Sorry, just get out of the way."

The man on the white horse did not move at all. As there were still dark clouds gathering above his head and the sky was so gloomy, it was impossible to tell what time it was.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew up the white veil on his body. The two groups of people around him were silent, just staring at the two people arguing fiercely in front of them.

Wei Tuohua's tone was firm, with unquestionable toughness. "I came here only to let Your Highness know that you and I are on the same path."

"What common ground do I have with a rebel like you?"

Yuan Wuyou almost blurted out that he was a "brothel owner"...

She didn't say it explicitly, but the man on the white horse across from her understood. He suddenly raised his bamboo hat covered with white gauze, and said in a sly tone:
"Tsk, Your Highness, you're beating around the bush when you talk. Who am I? I'm sure someone has already complained about me and warned you to stay away. That's why Your Highness is so disgusted and resistant to me, right?"

"Isn't this also your impression of me?"

Through the layers of white gauze covering Mu Li, the two could not see each other's eyes, but Wei Tuohua could feel the sharp gaze in front of her.
