A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 769
The next morning.

Inside the Bowang City Posthouse, in the wing room.

Yuan Wuyou was sleeping when she heard someone knocking on the door outside and shouting, "Big sister! It's not good!"

Yuan Wuyou frowned, and before he opened his heavy eyelids, he heard the man who knocked on the door speak to the maid outside the door, then pushed the door open with force and rushed in, shouting in a loud voice like a bell:
"There is a fierce general in the Zhou army who has challenged us and has defeated several of our generals! The eldest brother has already left, huh?!"

When Yuan Wuyou opened her eyes in a daze, she saw two people rushing in. The one behind was the maid who served her last night, and the one in front who was delivering the message was Wei Xiangyuan.

The two of them glanced at the set of golden armor on the weapon rack at the head of the bed at the same time, and then turned their eyes to the bed curtains.

Wei Xiangyuan was wearing a full set of armor and holding a short knife in his hand. At that time, he was staring at Yuan Wuyou's arms with wide eyes and horror.

"You...what did you two do in Big Brother's room last night? Or were you three?"

Yuan Wuyou followed his gaze and lowered his head, only to find a half-naked man lying next to his pillow.

A handsome face with a hint of pink in the disheveled hair was Gao Yanzong. His ponytail was askew, and his clothes had slipped down to his arms, revealing a few scarlet scratches and teeth marks on his fair shoulders.

But she was wearing a tight cross-collared nightgown.

Seeing this, Wei Xiangyuan's face immediately turned red with anger. Even the maid glanced at the beauty on the bed and lowered her head, not daring to look any further.

Yuan Wuyou hurriedly supported himself on the mattress and tried to get up.

"Gao Changgong didn't come back last night. Where do you think he is? I'm going to go there now. Ah hiss!"

Out of habit, she supported herself on the bed with one hand and tried to sit up, but she stretched her left arm instead. Only then did she remember her heroic act of saving the beauty last night.

Yuan Wuyou slept late last night. His arm, which was already seriously injured and had not yet healed, had been injured many times in recent days, especially the time when he caught the wine jar. He only felt a dull pain at the time, and only realized afterwards that it was a bruise.

After a night of neglect, my arm hurt so much that it felt like it was going to break.

She glanced at her left arm and saw the blood from the broken wound seeping through the pure white cloth, leaving a patch of dark red.

Wei Xiangyuan was dumbfounded.

He raised his hand angrily, pointed at Yuan Wuyou's nose and said "You you you..." for a long time, but in the end he didn't finish his words and turned away.

Only the maid was left, still with her head down, trembling as she said:
"Please forgive me, my lady! I will leave right away..."

At the same time, the man lying next to her slowly opened his eyes and grabbed her good arm.

"Don't be so stubborn, you're still injured. Fourth brother will take care of it."

"I'm not in the way, but your fourth brother is seriously injured. I'm afraid he might show off his strength, so I have to go and take a look."

After Yuan Wuyou comforted the male fox, he looked up and pointed at the weapon rack, where only his own set of golden armor was left, and instructed the maid:
"Take my armor!"

……

The Zhou State lost Bowang last night, but it started a tug-of-war with the Qi State, waiting for the Qi State to tire out, and then launched a surprise attack before dawn, causing great harassment. It seemed that it was determined to fight for every inch of land and not give up an inch of it.

But the young emperor of Qi came to supervise the battle in person late at night, but that was not a personal expedition. He was afraid that Zhou would know the whereabouts of the king of Qi. Now that the enemy was at the gate, Qi had to show its might. Therefore, Lanling Wang, who had not slept all night, was stationed outside the west gate of the city with his troops, ready to resist the Zhou army before dawn because of the surprise attack by Zhou.

At that time, Yuan Wuyou was wearing the golden armor, and the wound on his left arm was almost healed due to the heroic rescue of the beauty last night.

Before going out, she applied medicine on her left arm and wrapped it with a thin layer of white bandage. She was afraid that others would notice her, so she put on her sleeves properly over the bandage and also wore a wrist guard.

Yuan Wuyou asked around on the way and found out that Zhou Guo was challenged by a fierce general wearing a golden mask and eight feet tall. Qi State had never seen such a person before.

She knew who it was as soon as she heard the description.

Wei Xiangyuan, who was leading the way for her, sneered, "Why are so many people imitating our eldest brother these days? Do you think that everyone can be Lanling King just by wearing a mask?"

"..." Yuan Wuyou wanted to interject a few words, but was afraid that the more he explained, the worse it would get and the boy would misunderstand him, so he gave up.

As she rushed to the central military camp under the city where Gao Changgong was, she heard the messenger delivering the battle report from the front:

The enemy army dispatched this fierce general wearing a golden mask, who was good at killing with a quick shot. He almost swept away all the elite generals in the Qi camp. However, this man only knocked his opponents off their horses, intending to humiliate them, but did not take them prisoners.

All the soldiers said: "This fake Lanling King is clearly here to provoke us! Only the real Lanling King can restore morale."

When Yuan Wuyou heard this, his heart ached for him.

After all, he had been suffering from new injuries since Li Mingjian showed up some time ago. How could a honest and upright man like him fight against someone like Yuan Ranxi who was heartless and unscrupulous?

She hurried to the front of the battle. On the way there, she had thought of many ways to persuade Gao Changgong not to be so stubborn. But when she was in front of the Ghost-faced General, he didn't let her waste her words and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"If you take action, I will naturally trust you."

When they heard that Lanling Wang was giving this opportunity to show off and gain military merit to the little girl, the other generals in the tent were all dumbfounded. Only Wei Xiangyuan looked at her expectantly:
"At critical moments, we still have to look to our sister-in-law. She really loves our brother."

The group of people in front of the battle only questioned her for a moment, but no one spoke out to stop her. After all, this up-and-coming Aunt Zheng Xuannu in Mulan City, whether it was the title of "Ru'nan Lady" or the identity of "Hua Xu State Lord", was a reputation built up by many deeds.

As for the love-hate relationship between her and Lanling Wang over the past few months, how they developed their feelings and how they looked down on everyone, all of them had witnessed it with their own eyes in front of the Great Qi army.

Although the fierce general wearing a golden mask in front of the Zhou army was clearly here to provoke Lanling King, Lanling King had just entered the enemy camp two days ago and was seriously injured while trying to save her, and was in poor health.

The story of the Lady of Runan "going to war for her husband" is indeed a good one. Even if she couldn't win, it was no big deal for a weak woman like her to lose, and it would not be more embarrassing than the real Prince of Lanling losing to a fake.

The emotions of the people in the tent were written on their faces. The ghost-faced general suddenly stood up and walked down from the tiger-skin chair, and said with a worried look in his eyes:
"Wait! I heard that the man is good at using a spear and can knock people off their horses with a quick spear, but you are good at using a sword... I'm afraid you will be at a disadvantage in terms of weapons..."

Then, the Lady of Runan, who was rumored to have almost become the Princess of Lanling, came out in armor, clasped her fists, and had a serious look on her pretty face:

"It's just a quick shot to the throat, nothing more. My Scarlet Sky Sword is enough."

Gao Changgong, who was already standing in front of her, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her, "But you only have one hand!"

"Even though I only have one hand, I can still play with him."
