A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 797 No Right to Interfere
The killing of Xiao Tongyan did not cause any waves, but it only showed that she had completely broken off relations with the Xiao family and became their enemy.

Because the Xiao family of the Later Liang Dynasty was guilty, they did not dare to take Yuan Wuyou far away. Yuan Wuyou asked for a boat, and the boatmen rowed along the Lotus Lake to the border with Xiangyang.

Yuan Wuyou was taken back by the prefect of Xiangyang.

Now that the eight Dangxiang tribes have lost their leader, they are leaderless. They have also learned that it was the Queen of Huaxu who rescued the Dangxiang Khan. They have already surrounded the governor of Xiangyang and asked him to find the Queen to inquire about the Khan's situation.

Yuan Wuyou already felt extremely guilty about cutting off Wan Yuwu's tail to save his life, and he had always felt a heavy lump in his heart. Now that he was being questioned by the Dangxiang people in person, he felt even more upset.

At this time, the Xiangyang governor said, "The imperial edict from the Zhou Kingdom has arrived, appointing you as the governor of Jingxiang. Your Majesty, will you accept it?"

Yuan Wuyou snorted, "It's not delivered to me. From today on, we will close the gates to Jingxiang. From Xinye to the south, the Zhou Kingdom will not be able to get an inch."

The Xiangyang governor beside him nodded and said, "But the general Yifu who came to report the news said that the Zhou Kingdom took the Dangxiang Khan as a hostage and asked you to accept the order to serve as the governor of Jingxiang."

Yuan Wuyou glared at him when he heard that.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then I must go and save them."

After that, she looked at the Tangut Qiang soldiers behind her who were looking for their mothers, and asked the governor helplessly, "Are you willing to take in these people temporarily?"

The Xiangyang governor was not surprised or shocked at all, he just snorted,
"Fortunately, the Tangut Khan did not cross the river. If he had captured Xinye, he would have been a traitor who deserved to be killed by everyone. There would be no chance for him to fight you anymore."

Having said that, he turned around and glanced at the Qiang soldiers behind him.

"There's no way I could take them in."

He agreed with this. Yuan Wuyou smiled happily and said, "What you said is almost the same as what Prince Xizhou said."

"Really? That prince seems to be only good at writing fancy words, but I didn't expect that he also knows some political tricks, huh?"

……

Before Yuan Wuyou even started to avenge Gao Yanzong, Tuoba Yan had already done it, and he went too far.

But she had no time to educate Tuoba Yan, she was more worried about Gao Yanzong's situation.

When Yuan Wuyou returned to the Qi State's base, Bowang City, before he had time to see Gao Yanzong, he was blocked by Zu Ting and others who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he arrived at the gate of the inn.

Gao Yuanhai wore the Qi court dress and black gauze, and announced the decree in an official tone and indifference:

"Please Lady Ru'nan, cut off all ties with the Zhou Kingdom immediately."

The jade seal that was cheated away by the Xiao family was what Qi State wanted originally, but she ended up working in vain, and because of "her fault", the jade seal was allowed to be sent to Southern Chen by ferry.

Qi State ridiculed her as a tyrant, saying that any man could trip her up. They also mentioned that they wanted to send troops to her and give her a promotion, but they didn't expect it would take so long to take back the money of the Zheng family.

Yuan Wuyou felt wronged when she heard that she was seen like this in the eyes of outsiders. During this period of time, she was betrayed, used, insulted, and even went to save people when she was seriously injured.

In Qi, for the sake of the Gao brothers, she endured the infamy of being a tyrant and served Qi; in Zhou, she shouldered all the responsibilities that the young master of Western Wei and King Fengling should have shouldered.

But it was a thankless job and I ended up being a fence-sitter.

In the final analysis, she is now a donkey in the eyes of all countries. No matter who she works for, she can't get out of that millstone.

After returning to Qi State, Yuan Wuyou hated Gao Ningyu for harming Wan Yuwuyu, and felt sad for Gao Yanzong for losing his child.

With this in mind, she entered the house, only to find Gao Yanzong with his eyes covered with a white cloth, sitting in a wheelchair, with a thin silk blanket covering his knees.

Yuan Wuyou subconsciously walked over and asked with concern: "What's wrong with your eyes? Is it affecting your vision?"

The man in the wheelchair asked, "You don't care about my body, but you care about my eyes?"

"I'm afraid you'll be sad when you think of me. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't come here again."

Gao Yanzong clicked his tongue, "You just try to smooth things over."

"Smooth things over? What do you want me to do?"

"He bullied me like that, took my child's life, and made me possibly impotent for the rest of my life... and yet you were flirting with him when I was in the most pain? Since you didn't do anything, I can only vent my anger on myself."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou knew that Tuoba Yan was taking revenge on Wan Yuwu Yu, and he must have known about it! She was instantly furious, and the guilt and love she had felt for Gao Yanzong before entering the door just now suddenly dissipated.

"You call this venting your anger? Let's not talk about whether he had his own reasons or not. Just the fact that he caused you to have a miscarriage or infertility is just empty talk without any evidence. But you actually ordered others to humiliate him?!"

"Is it too much? I didn't kill him, I've already given you face. He is just your knife, what's the point of keeping him innocent? Use it to seduce you?" Gao Yanzong obviously couldn't see as his eyes were covered with a white cloth, but when he sat on the two-wheeled chair with his arms on the armrests, he exuded an imposing and domineering aura, with a defiant and contemptuous smile on his lips.

It was as if... he had admitted to gang-raping Wan Yuwu Yu, but he was proud of it and refused to repent.

Yuan Wuyou was so angry at his behavior that he laughed.

"Are you mocking me or humiliating him?"

"Of course... everything. Not to mention that he doesn't need to be innocent, he doesn't even need to raise a flag. As long as he can help you fight the war, that's enough."

"You are so cruel."

After Yuan Wuyou finished his heartfelt evaluation, he hurriedly continued: "But I have no right to interfere in your hatred. If you treat me like this, I will not hesitate to chop you with a knife and take half your life."

"I believe you can do it, but I can't." After a pause, he raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"Since you didn't avenge me for my vengeance against him, you shouldn't take sides after I've avenged myself."

Yuan Wuyou couldn't argue with them, and felt bad for them, so he just turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll leave first."

"Don't go! Yuan Wuyou!" A man's stern voice came from behind, and Yuan Wuyou had to turn back.

Gao Yanzong, with his eyes covered with a white cloth, said stubbornly,
"I did nothing wrong. I just gave him a taste of his own medicine! He caused me to lose my family line and grandchildren. If you break off relations with me because of him, I will... never regret it."

Even though he was being tough, his words were increasingly lacking in confidence and his reasoning was lacking.

Thinking of the possibility that he might be infertile, Yuan Wuyou chose to forgive him. She sighed and waved her hands helplessly.

"Alright, let's end this matter here. I won't interfere in your feud. I feel sorry for you and the child, but he has also received a more severe punishment."

Gao Yanzong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, held his chin with one hand. Even with his eyes covered with a white cloth, he looked as if he could see her, with a playful expression visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, do you forgive my evil behavior?"

"I forgive you not because I support your excessive revenge, but because you were hurt first, and you are both indirect perpetrators. Also, because you are my man."

The girl standing in front of him was wearing armor, but she had changed into a cross-collared white shirt in the style of Hanfu. She was still wearing a helmet, with a sinister look in her eyes and a calm tone.

Her calmness and determination made Gao Yanzong's stubbornness collapse a little. "I'm sorry, I went too far this time, but... I don't regret it. I don't want them to make fun of me again."

Yuan Wuyou is not afraid of the stubbornness of the male fox, but he is afraid of Gao Yanzong showing weakness.

The look she gave the blindfolded man became increasingly dark and full of pity.

"You did the right thing, but I feel sorry for my subordinates. Friendship and righteousness have always been a dilemma."

"I see you are more than righteous to him,"

At this point, Gao Yanzong raised his hand to adjust the white cloth covering his eyes, tilted his head and smiled at her,

"Why, you like him? He is a traitor who betrayed Huaxu and a professional rebel."

Yuan Wuyou sighed, "You don't know, he was hiding as a traitor for the sake of the mission, and he told me not to care whether he lived or died. That miserable look... made me feel so sorry for him."

Gao Yanzong pretended to be indifferent and said nonchalantly, "But he's already dirty." He didn't know whether he was simply mocking Wan Yuwuyu or mocking his past self.

As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his face towards her. Even though his eyes were covered with a white cloth, Yuan Wuyou felt a chill.

She could almost see through the cloth that his eyes were sharp and cold like the tongue of a poisonous snake.

"Even if he can recover his normal functions, would you still be interested in the one that was broken by someone else?"

"I am just touched by his loyalty. It's not as if we have had physical contact. I don't want to have a love affair with him, so why should I care about his health?"

Gao Yanzong smiled and said, "You are really merciful everywhere. Fortunately, you are here with us now."

Looking at his tentative expression, Yuan Wuyou suddenly raised his sinister eyes and looked at him, "Gao Yanzong, I will remember the grudge between you and Tuoba Yan for him."

The man raised his chin and said indifferently,
"It's just that I was beaten up by you to vent my anger. At most, I suffered some physical pain. Anyway, I have no children or grandchildren now. Isn't that what I am in your eyes? I am good for nothing except being beaten up."

"Gao Yanzong, you've given up, haven't you?"

"Yes, but you don't like me. I am the lowest level of beauty trap. I can only enter your body, not your heart."
