A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 806: Morning Banquet
"My last name is Xifeng too. The Xifeng tribe leader who died for you is my brother."

When she said this, the elder sister Xifeng's eyes were sharp and her tone was impatient. She tried her best to control herself and speak calmly, but her anger could not be concealed between her words.

Yuan Wuyou finally understood everything. The fragmentary doubts in the past were finally connected. Could it be that they were all connected?
Bai Lan, the female leader whose surname is Xifeng, came with bad intentions and clearly had something against the King of Huaxu, but she did not make things difficult for her on the surface and even held a banquet to celebrate her success. Yuan Wuyou naturally could not refuse.

So when it was time for breakfast, they had a banquet at the inn in the city.

When Yuan Wuyou returned to Mulan County Inn, the place where her dream began, all she could see were broken walls and ruins, desolate and dilapidated. The few remaining rooms stood among the ruins, looking very abrupt.

When she first came, she was a female prisoner, an aunt of the Zheng family, a military doctor and a lover of Lanling King... She had changed countless identities in Mulan City, but every time she felt at ease and at home.

Only this time, Yuan Wuyou was clearly the commander-in-chief who occupied Mulan City, but because the Dangxiang Bailans on her left and right were dissatisfied with her, she seemed more restrained and had no sense of belonging than ever before.

Even like sitting on pins and needles.

Yuan Wuyou did not feel any improvement in this feeling until the arrival of the supreme commander of this trip, the seventh princess Brandy.

The only thing that interested Yuan Wuyou was that she discovered that in Bai Lan's tribe, many people were carrying crossbows with crossbow mechanisms like the one Brandy had, and there was even a crossbow squad.

At the same time, Yuan Wuyou was secretly wary of Bai Lan's crossbowmen.

Bai Lan's attitude towards Hua Xu is ambiguous now, and she is undecided about which side to lean towards. She neither obeys her command nor is unruly. Even if she verbally surrenders today, she may rebel one day.

But Yuan Wuyou was not afraid at all, and even felt a little excited.

As long as Bai Lan showed signs of rebellion, give her an excuse and she would be the first to confiscate their weapons and get the Bai Lan crossbow that she had been coveting for for so long!

And their rhinoceros-hide armor.

As expected, a poor man has low aspirations and a thin horse has long hair. Although Yuan Wuyou felt guilty for a moment, he immediately put it out of his mind.

She has wanted to be a bandit for a long time, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

Now that the border war is at a stalemate, she seems to be passive, but in fact she is the one who is most happy to see the war.

When things get chaotic, she can take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and rob people.

——Inside the main hall of the inn, during the banquet.

The Seventh Princess of Bailan was quite friendly with the Lord of Huaxu State, and even introduced A'Du to her, saying that he was her cousin.

It turns out that Adu's father is the brother of the current Bailang King and the Khan, born in the Ruoshui tribe of the Bailang royal family, and his mother's surname is Supi. Unfortunately, his father died when he was a few years old, and his mother was the emperor of the Supi Dynasty after all, so she remarried a new queen.

King Bai Lan loved his younger brother the most, and naturally he also loved his younger brother's only child. After his younger brother died, he was afraid that his nephew would suffer, so he took him to his side and spoiled him like a prince.

If it were Yuan Wuyou, she had no intention of asking about A'Du's life experience. But Brandy was a person who liked to watch the fun. She claimed that she had heard that the Crown Princess, who had been mentally retarded for three years, had fought a tough battle outside the Black Water City as soon as she woke up! Her cousin also participated in the battle, but she recruited him and gave him the surname and name of Huaxu?

At this point, Brandy's eyes were full of teasing, and he couldn't help but smile. He tilted his head and teased the little king sitting next to him:

"In Bailan, only the wife can give a boy a name. You have already fallen in love with my brother at first sight, right?" Yuan Wuyou said in a serious tone, "Love at first sight is all about the face. Look back at him and ask yourself, how can you say such a thing?"

"..." Bai Lan subconsciously turned her head and was given a murderous glare by the red-faced boy.

Only then did she sit up straight with a look of dismay.

At that time, several leaders were seated.

The relative of the Xifeng tribe, the female leader of the Bailan tribe named Xifeng, was quite outgoing and had asked the accompanying firemen to prepare Bailan's special food so that Yuan Wuyou could have a taste of the exotic flavor.

Not only that, this elder sister even found a Qiang man to serve her!

The special dishes of the Bailang Qiang tribe were served to the table by the firemen who came in one after another. At the end, a Qiang man, wearing fortune-telling accessories, walked into the house while twisting his waist and hips and dancing.

When he heard the jingling of jewelry from afar and saw the graceful and slender figure, Yuan Wuyou felt goose bumps all over his body and felt a little at a loss for what to do.

The Qiang man who entered the room was wearing a Qiang costume with short sleeves and exposed arms, which revealed his slender waist. He also wore a knee-length skirt and deerskin boots. It was obvious at first glance that he was not wearing military uniform for fighting on the battlefield.

But when he twisted his waist and swayed his hips, the gold ornaments and gems on his body jingled, which was indeed beautiful, making people forget the world and temporarily dispelling some of the terror and sorrow brought by the war.

Afterwards, the young Qiang man danced his native dance while spinning around and clinking glasses enthusiastically with all the women at the table.

He was especially diligent in trying to please the female Khan.

Even though Yuan Wuyou could see at a glance that he was just a socialite serving the bureau, a dish to liven up the atmosphere at the table, she still couldn't let go and felt uncomfortable with goose bumps all over her body.

Rather than watching the Qiang men dancing, Yuan Wuyou was more interested in the bows and crossbows of the Bailan Qiang soldiers.

Especially when A'du and the female leader put their crossbows on the ground after sitting down, she couldn't help but glance over at them.

A'Du, who was sitting at the same table, stood by and watched with his arms folded. He showed no indignation on behalf of his male compatriot, but rather seemed to be used to it.

The King of Huaxu had just fought a great battle and lost his relatives and friends. Naturally, he was in no mood to feast and admire male beauties. He still had a stern face and looked serious.

Even though the Qiang man bent over to toast her, and shouted in Chinese with a choked voice, "Your Majesty, please have another drink," his tone was as melodious as singing, with a hook at the end, and his body was in the posture of a subordinate begging for mercy, and no one was willing to refuse.

There is nothing dissolute about it, but it is still very alluring.

Even so, the queen refused on the grounds that "I am not yet firmly established and should not get drunk and mess up things."

Seeing her shy refusal, the Xifeng female leader said, "Ah Li, why are you so stiff? Why don't you show your passion to the king?"

Then the Qiang man smiled flatteringly and hugged her arm with a cry of "Ouch". Yuan Wuyou's left arm had just been injured for the second time, and she was very sensitive to pain. When someone touched her, she quickly moved to the other side and avoided it.

The leader of the Xifeng tribe tutted his words, "According to your Central Plains dialect, this is called sitting on a woman's lap without getting tempted, right? Is the king shy, or does he not like people like Ahri? A grown woman should not be timid in the love field, especially since you are Huaxu Khan, don't let your subordinates look down on you."

Yuan Wuyou pretended not to understand the Qiang man's seduction and calmly said to the Xifeng leader:
"We are just drinking to celebrate, why do we need to embarrass the man? I heard that the people of Tangut Bailang are simple and honest, and no matter how passionate and unrestrained a man is, he should not be laughed at. Since I am the ruler of the country, I cannot touch a decent man."
