A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 804 Returning Home from the City
There was a waning moon hanging in the sky, the white light was cold and bleak, shining on people, making people feel cold to the bone even in the middle of June.

On the official road near Mulan City, a horse suddenly rushed out from the bushes in the distance!

Following Cousin Zheng's shout, the entire army was on alert and everyone became alert instantly.

Yuan Wuyou was the first to urge her horse forward, her fingers tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at her side. When the person carried by the horse came closer, she suddenly saw clearly in the moonlight that it was a man.

The man who came was covered in blood, with one arm broken. He was holding the horse's neck with only one arm, and his whole body was hanging on the horse's back!
As soon as Yuan Wuyou saw the man's fur-collared Shiwei costume, he recognized him. It was Hulun!
"Hulun? How could it be you?!"

As soon as he heard her cry, the man's shoulders tilted and he fell off his horse, falling in front of Yuan Wuyou, and something in his body screamed and crawled out from his clothes.

It was a sable as long as an arm, swinging a big fluffy tail and staring with two green eyes that were also sticky with blood.

Yuan Wuyou quickly jumped off his horse, helped the man up and asked what happened in Mulan City!
Hulun then coughed word by word and said in a weak voice that Bei'er was still trapped in the city. She was trapped by a Northern Qi man named Hulu. It was she who blocked Qi's pursuit and let him come out to report the news to Yuan Wuyou.

After hearing the news that Hulun desperately sent, the queen's eyes immediately filled with blood! She didn't want to delay for a moment, and she was afraid that her minister would die in front of her.

She immediately checked Hulun's wounds to see if they were fatal. When she found that they were not, she threw him a brocade bag containing golden wound medicine and asked him to keep it to apply the medicine. Then she got on the horse.

Hulun, however, stubbornly climbed onto the horse and insisted on going with her to save his wife.

Yuan Wuyou and Hulun in the front rode their horses towards Mulan City. From afar they saw flames rising into the sky near the city wall and arrows and fireballs flying everywhere.

It was Qi's general Hulu Hengjia who was defending the city, while the remaining Dangxiang troops were attacking the city.

Yuan Wuyou held the Huaxu tiger talisman "Feng Xing Bi" and shouted at the Dangxiang Qiang soldiers to retreat and make way for her.

When Yuan Wuyou arrived at the foot of the city, he saw the defenders throwing a body off the city wall, with her head hanging on the city gate.

This distance was enough for everyone to see clearly Bell's face, with his eyes open and bloodstains all over it, hanging high on the city gate tower.

From the city gate tower, the defenders could be heard laughing wildly, saying that this was the fate of going against the Great Qi!

Hulun, who rushed over with Yuan Wuyou, saw the familiar clothes and body at a glance.

The man suddenly let out a shrill cry - coming from behind Yuan Wuyou!
He was calling his wife's name in the Shiwei language.

Immediately afterwards, Hulun urged his horse, rushed out from behind Yuan Wuyou, and rushed towards the city gate.

The cry was mournful, like thunder, and he was like a flash of lightning.

Yuan Wuyou followed closely and watched Hulun, who was not far away, rush to the body of his wife. He dismounted from his horse and was about to pick her up, but was pierced through the heart by an arrow shot from the city wall.

His body was crooked and he almost fell down, but even so, he still forced himself to move and walked towards Bell's body.

But at this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly shot down from the city wall, like heavy rain, shooting him into a hedgehog.

The man's dead body, pierced by thousands of arrows, could no longer hold on, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Clearly, before he died, he stretched out his hands, trying to reach his wife's body, but until his death...the two bodies were never touched.

From a distance, it looks just a little bit off.

Yuan Wuyou's beloved general and good friend of Shiwei was shot dead at close range. The couple's heads and bodies were separated, and they did not even die together. The Queen Huaxu was shocked when she saw this.

She never thought that her friend, who was laughing and scolding just two days ago, would die in such a tragic and horrible way in front of her.

It was simply a situation she couldn't bear.

But Yuan Wuyou did not stand there in a daze. Instead, he quickly transformed his grief and anger into fighting power, drew his sword and pointed it at the city wall:
"Hulu Hengjia, get down here! Are you here to fight me? I don't believe you dare to shoot an arrow at me!"

There was no response from Hulu Hengjia on the city wall, only a rough male voice laughed wantonly, "Are you here to attack the city, King Fengling? You don't care about the lives of these hostages?" "Come and see, who is this?"

Before he finished speaking, a small figure was pushed out from the tower, crying, "Aunt Wuyou——"

Yuan Wuyou was shocked. She thought the general and his daughter were both killed, so she came here in anger. She didn't expect that Jia Jia had become a living hostage. Could the information be wrong?

"Jia Jia? Your mother——"

She only shouted half of her sentence at the top of her voice.

——The next moment, the small figure jumped down from the city wall, breaking through the screams of the defenders, and fell in front of Yuan Wuyou with a plop.

The little girl in black was lying in a pool of blood. It was Jia Jia. A red-lettered iron certificate fell out of her arms, and finally a piece of blood-stained paper floated slowly from the city wall to Yuan Wuyou.

She reached out to take the crumpled paper and unfolded it. She saw that the paper was covered with thick charcoal ash, as if it was written with a burnt branch. The childish handwriting hurriedly wrote:

[Aunt Wuyou, when you see this letter, I have already gone to look for my mother. My mother was beaten to death by the general of Qi State, and I can't find you. My mother said that as long as I have you, I have a home, but she lied to me.]
The last word was crooked and stained with blood.

Yuan Wuyou clenched the letter in his hand, unable to bear to look at the bloody little corpse on the ground, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward angrily!
Behind her were her cousin Guanqi and Zheng family's private soldiers.

Zheng Guanqi pointed at the gray-faced girls behind him and said, "They claim to be female soldiers who escaped from Mulan City. They recognized you, so I brought them to you."

The guards on the city wall did not shoot arrows at Yuan Wuyou, and allowed her to take people to take back the bodies of Bell and his wife and Xiao Jiajia.

Afterwards, in an open space one mile outside Mulan City, the remaining Dangxiang troops formed a safe circle.

The queen looked at the bodies of two adults and one child in front of her, and finally stopped in front of the dead body of the little one.

At this time, the female soldier she had recruited in the past came out from behind, patted Yuan Wuyou on the shoulder, and said calmly:

"If I had known, I shouldn't have been a female soldier with you. This way, Jiang Jun and Jia Jia could still survive."

Yuan Wuyou turned his head blankly, "Who are you?"

"Forgot? Haha, Aunt Xuannv really has a good memory. You left after you accomplished your mission, and you no longer cared about our lives. Instead, you left us to suffer the cold shoulder."

This bunch of people are stabbing Yuan Wuyou in the heart with every move!
At this moment, in this place, she should shout out: "I am a subject who must die. I don't need to explain right or wrong! Everyone must die!"

How could this be? At this point, Yuan Wuyou, extremely angry and grief-stricken, shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Pass the order, everyone - follow me!"

"Wait!" Zheng Guanqi hurriedly stopped her.

"Cousin, do you know how many people there are in the city?"

"Only five thousand."

"How many people are there on our side?"

"A full one hundred!"

"Then you still dare?"

"I dare to do it alone. If I don't take revenge for this in my lifetime, I will bite off the throat of the dog thief Hulu as a ghost after death!"

At this moment, a Tangut Qiang soldier came over with something in his hand and said to her, "My Lord, this is called Fire Caltrops, invented by our Khan, and it is very effective in attacking cities!"

Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt more confident, as she had this group of Dangxiang Qiang soldiers behind her!
That night, shouts of killing could be heard from the city gate to the back gate.
