A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 860: Mayfly Sees the Sky
A few moments.

As the sky gradually darkened, at dusk, black clouds and red clouds intertwined in the sky, and it was sunny and cloudy at the same time, which was very strange.

Yuan Wuyou followed the Zhou army's trail and soon caught up with the army's base camp.

But the one in charge of the army was Yi Fuya.

When she asked, she found out that after Chi Luoxie captured the Dangxiang Khan, he was afraid that if he moved too slowly with the army, he would be caught up and retaliated against, so he took his guards and rode back to Xi'e City at full speed.

Yuan Wuyou immediately chased after him, but he didn't catch up with him! He followed him all the way to Xi'e City.

She was stopped at the gate of Xi'e City and could only call herself King of Fengling and ask to see the Emperor of Zhou. Then the guards at the city gate handed her over to Liulu, who sent her to the inn and introduced her to the Emperor.

At that time, the Xianbei emperor Yuwen Huaibi was in the inn.

He was wearing a pale yellow wide-sleeved shirt, his tail tied high in a ponytail, his face covered with white jade, and he looked dignified and noble.

He was not surprised to see her coming in exhausted and asking where the Dangxiang Khan was the first thing she did.

He also told her that as soon as the Dangxiang Khan was captured, he was severely punished by the Duke of Nanyang to vent his anger, and now he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and a tightness in her chest. She said that she wanted to rescue him and asked him to tell her where the person was.

What she didn't dare say was that she wanted to kill Chi Luoxie by the way.

Yuwen Huaibi naturally couldn't stand her being so anxious, so he just sighed: "I can pretend that I didn't see you and order the six generals to block the news of your entry into the city, but I remind you that he is the prime minister's confidant."

"What's wrong with Dazai's cronies? I won't even take Dazai seriously even if he comes!"

"Let me put it this way. I can't kill anyone Dazai wants to protect, and I can't protect anyone Dazai wants to kill."

"Okay, okay, then I will make him my enemy. Anyway, my family has been enemies with him since thirteen years ago. You just need to tell me where the Tangut Khan is imprisoned."

"The place where the execution took place. You went there a few days ago."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes lit up, and he immediately thanked Yuwen Huaibi and left in a hurry.

***
At that time, the sky was as dark as ink and dark clouds covered the city.

The entire Xi'e City was shrouded in drizzle, which made the leaves rustle.

——Inside the county government office.

Yuan Wuyou wanted to kill Chi Luoxie alone, but as soon as he climbed over the wall into the county government office, he was discovered by the heavily guarded troops and surrounded.

Immediately afterwards, the Sixth Commander of the Imperial Guards, Right Military Officer Yuchi Yun, whom Yuan Wuyou had met several times, walked out of the crowd with his chest held high and bowed to her:
"Your Highness, Prince Fengling, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yuan Wuyou was stunned when he saw Yuchi Yun, and then he shouted angrily: "You six leaders betrayed me? Where is Yuwen Huaibi?"

At this moment, a bright yellow figure appeared behind the heavily armored black-clad tiger guards leading the imperial guards.

It was Yuwen Huaibi.

At this moment, all his clothes were wet and soaked by the rain, and hanging on the white jade belt that pinched his slender waist was the Gan Jiang sword she gave him.

His jet-black hair was stuck to his temples and shoulders, revealing only a pale face. It was impossible to tell which part was the white jade mask and which part was his flesh.

But his deep phoenix eyes were full of helplessness.

"I don't want to go back on my word, but..."

He was halfway through his words when someone suddenly raised his voice and said, "But once Dazai shows up, the six commanders will have to obey the orders of this special envoy!"

Yuan Wuyou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man walking out from behind the Imperial Guard.

Visitors could see from afar that he was wearing a tall crown, court robes, and ornaments, with a lot of official power and airs.

"Who are you? Dazai's man?" The man came closer, revealing a pair of upturned noses. His entire face could not be seen, and one could only hear his arrogant words from under his upturned, carefully trimmed beard: "I am the special envoy sent by Dazai! You? Are you King Fengling?"

Yuan Wuyou saw that this special envoy was so arrogant that he just glanced at her sideways without even looking at her, so she suppressed her anger.

"Why, Dazai sent you... for the king?"

"Tsk, of course you don't have to. The Prime Minister has ordered that no outsider is allowed to see the Duke of Chiluo." Having said that, he glared at the little prince in armor in front of him.

"And I heard when I first arrived that King Fengling was colluding with that traitorous Dangxiang Khan, so I knew it as soon as you entered the city and was on guard against you."

Yuan Wuyou gritted his teeth and said, "I know he has something urgent to do, so I want to ask him something."

Hearing this, the special envoy of the Dazai held up two fingers and shook his head: "That won't work. If the Dazai says no, then even the emperor won't be able to see him."

Yuan Wuyou looked for help at the Xianbei Emperor standing beside her, but the moment his eyes met hers, he turned away evasively.

She immediately understood that if Dazai wanted to protect someone, he only needed to say one sentence, and even the emperor could not refute it.

Looking at the Xianbei emperor whose clothes were soaked in the rain, Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt a little pity for him.

The special envoy of the Grand Prime Minister also discovered that King Fengling wanted to seek help from the little emperor.

He said impatiently, "Okay, no matter how much you try to curry favor with the emperor, it's useless."

As he said this, the envoy turned his head to look at the emperor, then turned back and smiled mockingly at Yuan Wuyou:

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a fox that seduces the master? Don't even think about killing Dazai's people. Even if you look at them, it will be considered an offense."

"Who are you talking about? Me?"

Yuan Wuyou was dazed by what he heard.

She thought that she was wearing armor and couldn't tell whether the man or the woman was a man. He came from Chang'an, so he shouldn't know whether Prince Fengling was a man or a woman. How could he be so "seductive and charming"?
Seeing her confused face, the special envoy of Dazai laughed even louder!

"Are you still pretending to be confused? Do you really think that you are superior to others just because you are a remnant of the previous dynasty? Your status in Chang'an is not even as high as that of the outermost branch of the imperial clan of the Yuwen family!"

Yuan Wuyou was stunned by the scolding and reached out to grab the sword, but before he could draw the sword out of the sheath, he was discovered by the group of imperial guards.

——Then, all the guards in the yard suddenly drew their weapons and pointed them at her!
Seeing this, Yuwen Huaibi could not stand it any longer. He shouted "How dare you!" and stood in front of Yuan Wuyou, then turned to look at the special envoy.

"Don't say too much. Queen Fengling is young and has done nothing wrong. Why are you being so aggressive towards her?"

The special envoy of the Prime Minister disagreed, and when he saw that the emperor was defending King Fengling, he sneered.

"Your Majesty is really protective of his people. I just want to teach this kid some principles of being a good person! Anyone who has seen a corner of the Heavenly Palace deserves to be cast down and doomed."

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Wuyou again, raised his finger and pointed at her:

"If you don't go into politics, seeing Taizai is like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky. If you go into politics, seeing Taizai is like a mayfly seeing the sky."

Yuan Wuyou was not one to suffer in silence. He could not draw his sword and resort to force, so he twisted his neck and snorted, "I don't need to eat your Zhou State's salary. I have the land of Jingxiang and Huaxu. I am not your subject! Why should I cut off my own hands and feet to abide by your rules?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! You are indeed young and full of energy, and you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! Even if you have troops at the border, the Prime Minister is unmoved in the court! The ants are successful and think they can bite the pain points of the Cen Tian tree, but to the Cen Tian tree, it is just like scratching an itch."

In the end, Yuan Wuyou was scolded, drenched in the rain, and was dragged away by Yuwen Huaibi before he could even enter the county government office.

He was soaked all over, but he still asked someone to find clothes for Yuan Wuyou to put on, and asked her to go with him. He wanted to take her to take a bath, change clothes, and drink ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Yuan Wuyou didn't save Wan Yuwuyu, nor did he see Chi Luoxie, so he naturally didn't feel like going with him, so he declined. Before leaving, he saw Yuwen Huaibi's shoulders shivering, secretly holding back a cough, and he didn't forget to tell him to go back and take some medicine, so as not to catch a cold.

After saying this, he turned around and left without any reluctance.

Only the Xianbei emperor was left looking at her back, his thin lips revealed under the half-face mask slightly curled up into a smile.
