A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 745 Cousin Treats Me
Gao Yanzong pursed his lips shyly, then secretly took the kidney from her plate and whispered:
"Children should eat less of these."

Yuan Wuyou glanced at him and said, "Am I a child again? Am I not trying hard enough?"

"...Don't talk about this, let's have a feast." Gao Yanzong pinched the tip of her nose with his fingers. The sharpness and coldness in his peach blossom eyes were no longer there, but the gentleness and affection as before.

"Just a kid."

She stared at him with shining eyes, "What were you thinking about just now? Do you want to draw a line between us, or do you want to try something new?"

The man smiled and said, "Let's draw a line. I don't want to be known as someone who has an affair with someone else."

Before he could finish his words, a female voice suddenly jokingly said from behind him: "Are you serious this time, nephew?"

The two were frightened and turned around at the same time, and saw a woman in armor.

It turned out to be Zheng Guanqi.

Yuan Wuyou asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Gao Yanzong was not surprised, but his eyes were gloomy: "What nonsense are you talking about? I will only have her this time."

Only then did Zheng Guanqi nod to Yuan Wuyou and bow.

"It's been a while since we last met, cousin? I originally came here to collect money from Grandma Zheng."

Yuan Wuyou also nodded as a return gift.

She stood up and continued, "But last night my fourth nephew asked me to escort a surviving veteran back to Mulan City, saying that the man was carrying my grandmother's remains..."

Upon hearing this, Cousin Yuan's eyebrows suddenly became serious, "Gao Changgong asked you to come? He didn't tell me."

"Maybe he forgot."

Gao Yanzong saw the embarrassed look on the girl's face, and fearing that she might misunderstand his brother, he hurriedly explained, "You were alone in capturing the city last night, and didn't Fourth Brother go back to the rear camp? He asked my cousin to come over because he was afraid that it would delay your work. I know the whole thing."

Seeing the two of them sitting close together, and being so concerned about her emotions, Zheng Guanqi smiled and glanced at Gao Yanzong.

"I've known him for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen him turn over a new leaf. Cousin, would you be so kind as to let me treat you two to a simple meal?"

Gao Yanzong suddenly glared at Zheng Guanqi and decisively stopped him, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came - "Fifth brother, someone is looking for you!"

Following the sound, it was Gao Changgong wearing a pair of armoured helmets. He was holding a ghost mask in his hand and walking down the stairs behind the two of them.

Then, ignoring the gazes of others, Gao Changgong leaned over and whispered something to Gao Yanzong.

But even though Yuan Wuyou was so close, he couldn't hear it clearly.

After the two brothers whispered, Gao Yanzong patted Yuan Wuyou's wrist with a serious expression, "I have something to do first, you go with fourth brother, you are not allowed to go with Aunt Guanqi."

Yuan Wuyouxin was already nervous because of his behavior, "Who is looking for you? Can I accompany him?"

Gao Yanzong looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, this is a military secret, I can't take you with me."

As he said that, he pulled Fourth Brother's arm and handed it to the girl, "Follow Fourth Brother closely, I will go and come back quickly."

After saying that, he raised his leg and walked away at a brisk pace.

Yuan Wuyou and Gao Changgong were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and Zheng Guanqi invited them to go out to a restaurant together.

Gao Changgong immediately raised his hand and sternly refused: "This celebration banquet is very lively, it is not appropriate for me to leave."

After saying that, he leaned down and smiled gently at Yuan Wuyou.
"You like to drink outside with your friends?" He looked up at the Bells and their spouses, "Do you mind if I sit here too?"

The Bells naturally would not refuse, but they were annoyed by Zheng Guanqi who was left out, so they bit their back teeth and clicked their tongues twice.

"My fourth nephew, it's really obvious whether you love me or not. Why do you use people to face forward but not to face backward?"

Gao Changgong had just sat next to Yuan Wuyou, on the stool where Gao Yanzong had sat. When he heard this, he turned his head and looked at his cousin sincerely.

"Cousin, please stop blaming me. I am helping your Zheng family and Mulan City, not you helping me. What's more, it is Zheng Xuannv who is helping the Zheng family, not you."

After leaving Zheng Guanqi speechless, the man turned around and smiled at the girl next to him.

"She sacrificed herself to bring in reinforcements. I can't let her contribution go to waste."

When Yuan Wuyou heard Gao Changgong's firm, clear-headed and reasonable support for her, she suddenly felt that all her efforts were worth it.

If Gao Yanzong is a fickle and restless male fox, then Gao Changgong is a silent and stable mountain. She seems to be able to believe in him and trust him forever.

……

When Yuan Wuyou had eaten her fill and Gao Yanzong hadn't come back, Gao Changgong took her to the street to digest the food.

The two walked under the blood-red setting sun, welcoming the change of day and night, but neither of them was in the mood to admire the flowers or the scenery.

Gao Changgong was afraid that she would contact him privately about watching her cousin play chess because of what had just happened and would suspect that he was unfaithful to her, so he was in a hurry to explain to her along the way.

Yuan Wuyou had no choice but to say, "I'm not angry. I know you're also concerned about my family."

She was originally a little sulky, but she was just angry that he had a bad memory and didn't let her know.

But just now, when she saw the man with the ghost mask pinned to the hook around his waist, with his handsome face with white eyebrows and eyes, wagging his tail to beg for mercy from her, she lost all her anger.

The Queen of Huaxu knew that she was somewhat blinded by lust, but a man as innocent and naive as Gao Changgong, who was extremely attractive, would definitely not disrupt her position and bring disaster to the country like a male fox. The main reason was that he was pleasing to the eye and his eyes were too sincere when he spoke to her.

Gao Changgong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her expression had eased and her face was no longer tense. He then cautiously glanced at her and asked:

"Are you... a little bit disgusted?"

She glanced at him sideways, curled her lips and sneered, "Are you here to test me? Do you enjoy the feeling of women fighting for you?"

The man hurriedly shook his head, his dark phoenix eyes firm and solemn, "No, I just feel ashamed and scared."

"Oh? What are you afraid of?"

"When I think about doing something that makes you jealous... that encourages him and hurts your lover, I feel ashamed of myself for not keeping my male ethics. I'm even more afraid that the person I love will lose their sense of security with me. I'm afraid that you'll think I'm not reserved and don't respect myself... that I'm embarrassing you."

Gao Changgong spoke for a long time in his heart feeling embarrassed and did not dare to look at her reaction.

But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear her response, and the footsteps stopped. He turned to look at her in confusion, and saw that she was staring straight ahead with her eyes wide open.

Immediately he said in dissatisfaction, "What are you looking at?"

Following her gaze, I saw a tall man wearing a black robe and red clothes, with a black Nuo mask on his face walking towards me.

The man came with the night falling above his head and the last rays of setting sun under his feet, walking with the gait of a tiger.

Gao Changgong asked in a deep voice: "Do you know him?"

She replied casually: "It seems to be Wei Tuohua who I just met."

Yuan Wuyou was extremely surprised. How could the leader of the Chishui rebels, a great threat to the Zhou Kingdom, appear here?
Did I see it wrong?
