A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 575: People Hiding in the Shrine

Yuan Wuyou was helpless, "How can I be assured that you will be deceived by her?"

As he spoke, he raised his leg and followed Gao Changgong into the white light.

Xiao Tongyan walked alone to the other side of the stone gate where white light shone in, and saw that the sky outside was bright and the sun was rising.

As she walked out over the rubble, Gao Changgong followed closely behind her with a spear in hand, and Yuan Wuyou walked side by side with him.

Just before leaving the secret room, Yuan Wuyou suddenly smelled blood and flowers along the wall?
Remembering what Gao Yanzong said, "People can only smell blood when it's fresh and flowing," her eyes suddenly turned cold and she turned her head abruptly to look at the uneven stone wall.

"He's still here."

It's not a doubt, but a certainty.

Xiao Tongyan, who was standing at the door, turned around with a stiff back. His eyes were tense for a moment, then returned to normal.

"what did you say?"

When he saw the one-armed girl walking away on her own, tapping the wall with her fingers from outside to inside, and walked several steps away, Xiao Tongyan hurriedly chased after her.

Following the smell of blood and the scent of camellia, Yuan Wuyou locked onto the approximate location and immediately stopped in front of a floor-standing flower stand. He looked at a white porcelain vase on the top and the footsteps following behind him. The next moment, Yuan Wuyou suddenly drew out the sword at his side and split the white porcelain vase in half!
With a clear cracking sound, the large vase broke into two and smashed to the ground. And on the stone wall behind that was originally blocked by the vase, a two-finger-wide vertical crack appeared, like a secret door.

She stretched out her fingers and used her arms to push in opposite directions, and actually pushed open the two stone walls, revealing a half-human-high wooden shrine inside!
The two doors of the shrine were closed tightly, with animal heads holding rings on them.

The overall design is gorgeous and exquisite, with couplets on both sides.

Yuan Wuyou pulled the door knocker without hesitation, opened the door of the shrine, and immediately found Gao Yanzong who was still kneeling on his knees and tied up!
The enclosed shrine was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Suddenly, light poured in from the darkness, illuminating a god-like face. The handsome man with braided hair had a pale face, and his chubby lips were raised in a triumphant smile, with scarlet blood dripping from the corners of his lips.

Their eyes met, and he looked up at the girl who had found him from above. He opened his tender lips with difficulty, but his voice was hoarse and weak: "You... are finally here..."

His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. When he opened his mouth, blood was still oozing from the tip of his tongue, obviously from biting it.

Yuan Wuyou felt his heart skip a beat.

"Your tongue hurts, doesn't it? What's wrong with your throat?"

The man swallowed the blood and whispered, "I can't feel... my tongue anymore..."

Upon hearing this, she turned back angrily, "Xiao Tongyan, you are looking for death!"

——"Wuyouer, be careful!"

When she turned around, she heard Gao Changgong's urgent reminder.

She also saw Xiao Tongyan, who was following behind her, suddenly rush forward and instantly pull out a knife!

Yuan Wuyou naturally reacted quickly. She twisted her waist and dodged to the side. She saw the foot-long knife flashing with silver light, but it passed her and was placed on Gao Yanzong's neck in the shrine! He was held hostage.

Xiao Tongyan threatened with a cold face:

"It's just that he took the anesthetic and couldn't breathe, so the poison spread. And I'm the only one who has the antidote for the anesthetic in his body."

Seeing Xiao Tongyan's ferocious face and the ugly appearance of holding the knife on his old master's neck, Yuan Wuyou was almost driven crazy.

The man in the shrine had a pale face, with scarlet blood at the corner of his mouth flowing down his fair chin, but his eyes were calm. Gao Yanzong had a relaxed and arrogant look on his face, as if he had someone to lean on.

Yuan Wuyou silently drew his sword with his right hand and pointed it at Xiao Tongyan's neck. "Put the knife away, let him go. Do you want to compete with me in terms of knife or sword speed?"

Gao Changgong turned back and walked straight towards his angry daughter-in-law. He took a look at the miserable appearance of his brother in the shrine. This traitor, the woman from Nanliang, dared to put a knife on his neck, so he immediately pointed a gun at Xiao Tongyan.

"How dare you! How dare you hold the royal family of Da Qi hostage? If you don't move the knife away, I will kill you all!"

At the same time, several female soldiers in white robes also gathered around, but they only dared to stay outside the attack range of Gao Changgong's spear.

Xiao Tongyan glanced at the man under the knife, and asked the two people in front of him unmoved: "The most taboo in negotiations is to anger the other party. Do you two know what you are talking about?"

Gao Yanzong, with a knife at his neck, said in a hoarse voice: "My brother and his wife said that if you don't let me go, they will kill you all."

Hearing this, Xiao Tongyan was secretly furious. These three people were too arrogant. None of them treated her as a robber holding a hostage. Were they really not afraid that she would kill them?
She was distracted for just a moment, and a silver light flashed before her eyes!
The next moment, the tip of Yuan Wuyou's sword was against Xiao Tongyan's throat, and Gao Changgong tacitly held his spear horizontally behind his back to stop and intimidate the female soldier who was about to rush up, and his other hand with the dragon scale finger guard was clenched into a fist.

Seeing that these two men did not give her any chance to negotiate and just solved the problem with brutal force, Xiao Tongyan had no choice but to keep the knife on Gao Yanzong's neck with her left hand, took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve pocket with her right hand, and threw it at Yuan Wuyou!

"Antidote!"

Xiao Tongyan originally wanted to make a feint to the east and attack in the west to get her to retract her sword, but Lanling Wang took a long step and accurately caught the bottle of medicine.

Seeing this, Xiao Tongyan said unwillingly, "You two are too unethical, aren't you?"

Yuan Wuyou said stubbornly: "Move the knife away, and we will verify whether your antidote is real or not."

"Okay, I believe that His Majesty is not a person who goes back on his word."

As he spoke, Xiao Tongyan took the lead in moving the tip of the knife away from Gao Yanzong's neck.

Fearing that she would play some dirty tricks, Yuan Wuyou quickly kicked Xiao Tongyan away, leaned over and used his back to block the chance of her coming into contact with Gao Yanzong, then dragged Gao Yanzong, who was slumped on the ground, out of the shrine.

Taking this opportunity, the woman in white shirt didn't care about her image, she quickly got up and rushed out towards the stone wall that was shining white after Gao Changgong broke the door. Several female soldiers also ran after her.

Yuan Wuyou and Gao Changgong exchanged a glance, and he suddenly handed her the medicine bottle he was holding in his pointed fingertips.
"You stay here. I will go after that traitor and find out who ordered her to attack my fifth brother."

The next moment she took the bottle of medicine, the man in armor turned around without hesitation.

"Chang Gong!" Yuan Wuyou called his name anxiously. The man instantly stiffened his back and turned around with a ferocious face. He saw the girl staring at him with her amber eyes.

"what?"

"Will you come back to me?"

Gao Changgong's dark phoenix eyes sparkled under his ghostly face, his eyes were firm and he said decisively: "I will try my best to come back to you and protect you."

"You know, I'm not talking about protection."

"Even if you don't need my protection, I will still do it anyway. I, Gao Changgong, was born to protect the ones I love. You are one thing, and my country is another."

"Gao Changgong! Do you love me or do you have a responsibility?"

Gao Changgong didn't reply to her, but turned around and left resolutely.
