A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 701 Taimu Remains
When the group arrived at the Xinye County Posthouse, they saw from afar that in addition to two rows of armored guards at the entrance of the posthouse, there was also a standard-bearer in tattered clothes and old copper armor standing at the entrance.

The man was carrying a stinking linen bag, leaning on a thick branch as a walking stick, wearing bronze armor on his upper body and a pair of tattered trousers whose original color could not be seen. Beside his skinny legs, a disheveled child was hugging his thighs.

When other people saw the sloppy door god at the door, they shook their heads and walked around him. However, the soldiers brought by the Xiangyang prefect and the old subordinates of Xinye were all well-mannered. No one stepped forward to expel him or said anything.

When the Xiangyang governor and his men approached, Governor Yu took the lead and trotted forward, bowing to the stubborn "door god":
"Hey, Second Lady! Why are you standing guard at the door? Didn't we ask you to come in and rest while you wait before we left?"

After being introduced by Governor Yu, Yuan Wuyou realized that the strange person at the door was a woman.

As a result, the door god's shoulders trembled and his body staggered. He bowed and saluted to the governor of Xiangyang. While moving, a wooden leg suddenly appeared.

When everyone looked, she was a disabled soldier's wife.

She said hoarsely:

"Thank you for your kindness, Governor, but I will never be able to close my eyes if I can't wait for the king for a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the Xiangyang governor hurriedly introduced him, "Please don't say such unlucky words! Isn't the Lord of Huaxu coming?"

At the same time, a voice came from the official road outside the door:
"May I ask who you are and what do you want from me?"

The door god and the prefect looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall young man walking towards them. He had a ponytail and was carrying a long sword, and he walked with calm and agile steps.

When the woman warrior saw her, her dirty face suddenly burst into a pair of extremely bright eyes! Suddenly, she fell to her knees with a plop, and while she was frantically opening the bundle behind her, she burst into tears!

"Aunt Xuannv, I finally see you!"

As she opened the bundle, what suddenly appeared in front of everyone was a rotten, maggot-infested silver-haired human head and skinny leg bones emerging from the straw pile.

There were still a few strands of dark red flesh hanging on the pitch-black bone, as if it had just died a few days ago.

Everyone was so frightened that they took a few steps back in unison, with a lot of hissing and cursing. Even Yuan Wuyou, who was stunned on the spot, was grabbed by the shoulders by the Gao brothers on both sides and pulled away.

Gao Yanzong was the first to be filled with anger, and he quickly rebuked the woman warrior who was holding the corpse like a golden ingot:

"How bold! So horrible! Are you trying to kill her?"

As the man spoke, his long, white left hand reached for his sword! On the other side, Gao Changgong had already unsheathed his sword and stepped forward, blocking Yuan Wuyou.

Only Yuan Wuyou had a gloomy face. He spread his hands to block the two brothers in front of him, looked forward at the second lady who was holding the head and seemed to be about to cry and faint, and asked in disbelief:

"Who did you kill? Are you here to ask me for credit?"

Yu Taishou glanced at the head in Wu Fu's arms. Although he was still frightened, he still suppressed his fear and disgust, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Wu Fu's side and explained to the female king beside him: "It's a misunderstanding!"

Then he lowered his eyes and said to the Wu Fu sitting on the ground, "Second Madam, please explain quickly!"

The second lady also held the bones and explained:

"Listen to me, this is the remains of Grandma Zheng! It's all because of that old Tangut. They massacred everyone in Mulan City yesterday and dug up Grandma Zheng's grave!"

As she spoke, she even reached for the head in the bundle with her bare hands, trying to lift it up and show it to Yuan Wuyou. This frightened Yu Taishou, who was standing beside her, and hurriedly shook his sleeves to stop her:

"No! No need to pick it up and look at it! The queen has good eyesight!" The old woman put the head back into the straw in disappointment.

Yuan Wuyou didn't care about this, but was shocked by what the Second Lady had just said, frowning and glaring.

"How could Mulan City be massacred? Was it yesterday? Weren't the Tanguts still... in Nanyang last night? Where did the hatred between the Tanguts and Mulan City come from?"

Seeing the young king's eyes wide open in fear, and his tall figure standing in front of her, the second lady also sighed:

"Yes, I don't know what deep hatred the Tanguts had that they had to destroy the bodies and all the evidence. I risked my life to retrieve these two bones!"

Then everyone realized that the Dangxiang people had long known that it was the Hulu tribe of Northern Qi who killed the Xifeng envoy! It just so happened that Hulu Hengjia was stationed in Mulan City recently, so he took his anger out on Mulan City, and as a result, Hulu Hengjia abandoned the city and fled!

Last night was a chaotic night, and in the midst of all the chaos and confusion, no one knew who dug up Grandma Zheng's grave.

Anyway, according to the second lady, she saw with her own eyes the Dangxiang people trampling Zheng Tailao on the ground, which is an indisputable fact.

The second lady picked up the only remaining skull of Grandma Zheng, put it in a box and some lime, and wanted to give it to Grandma Zheng's descendant, Aunt Zheng Xuannu.

Since the mother and daughter escaped from Mulan City, they had been living in the open air and had become like stray dogs. They ran around for a day and a night before they finally found the prefect of Xiangyang. She heard that Zheng Xuannu was the queen of Huaxu State and had just split from the Zhou State and claimed the title of King of Xiang, so she thought of coming to the prefect of Xiangyang for refuge.

Yuan Wuyou was skeptical about this. After all, she had just been assassinated by the Dangxiang people a few days ago, and even the Dangxiang Khan and his confidants thought that she had killed the leader of the Xifeng tribe. How could she have found the real murderer in Mulan City last night and massacred the city in revenge?

Unless Wan Yuwu Yu teamed up with his cronies to act and deceive her.

If that is the case, then the two assassinations, one in public at the banquet and the other just now, which killed two Tanguts, should not have resulted in the sacrifice of two lives, even if it was a show, right?

But I can’t say for sure.

It's really scary to think about it! Yuan Wuyou was really frightened by Wan Yuwu's scheming.

At this moment, the suspicion on the young king's face was questioning the motives of the Tanguts, and Gao Yanzong was the first to speak out and refute:
"Impossible! I know Hulu Hengjia best. How could he abandon the city and flee? And I haven't heard about what happened in Mulan City yet."

It was obvious that Gao Yanzong did not believe that Governor Hulu would abandon the city and flee.

Yuan Wuyou ignored Gao Yanzong. Seeing the crippled woman still kneeling with the corpse in her arms, he subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to help her. However, Gao Yanzong grabbed his sleeve from behind.

"Don't go there!"

After he finished scolding, he added softly, "Be careful, don't touch this person or the corpse. If the disease is transmitted to you, your current physical condition is not suitable for a serious illness."

Yuan Wuyou glanced at him and asked, "What's my physical condition?"

Seeing that everyone did not believe in his mother's origins, the child who had been hugging his mother's thigh could not help but speak out!
"Mother! Didn't you say that it was a reward from the Female Khan of Wei? What is that iron certificate?"

The second lady suddenly realized what was going on, and suddenly she took out a piece of old and heavy red-lettered iron certificate from her tattered linen collar, and presented it to Yuan Wuyou with both hands.

"Young Master! I am the leader of the twelve generals under the Lord of the Star Mansion - General Star!"

As soon as she announced her military rank, the originally slovenly and decadent Second Lady seemed to be revived and became full of spirit!
