A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 869 Jiangling Orphan
Fearing he would be misunderstood, Mi Qinlin quickly stepped back and said, "I have a grudge against her, but in order to save our leader, I have to stay under the same roof with her."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou rolled his eyes at him and said, "You really...tell everything to others."

Xiao Jiangsheng found it somewhat funny to see that the two of them looked incompatible and were very reluctant and reluctant to partner up.

Then he ran towards the girl in men's clothing with a smile and said, "Your Majesty was really brave just now! I think, if it weren't for that princess, no one would dare to go against a woman like Xiaoda."

"No need to be polite. I am indeed the Queen. Just know my identity."

"No wonder. When I first walked in, I thought you two were rich kids who came to experience life. I thought your disguise was not down to earth. Now it seems that your disguise is not bad, Your Highness."

Yuan Wuyou said awkwardly, "You don't have to call me Your Highness. Just call me by my name, Yuan Wuyou, the Wuyou of worry-free and sorrow-free."

"Oh my, how dare I address you by your name!"

The two people in front were chatting politely in the corridor. Mi Qinlin, who was following closely behind, didn't want to interrupt, but at this moment, the child in his arms started crying.

The water snake looked back in surprise, and then it remembered the child.

Yuan Wuyou glanced at the man in white shirt who was frantically trying to coax the child, his face flushed with pent-up anger, and said helplessly, "I don't know if your third brother mentioned in the letter the purpose of my bringing this child here. Is there anyone here who can coax a child?"

"Third brother did tell me about this." Xiao Jiangsheng stretched out his hand to Mi Qinlin, "Let me take a look at this child... Is he hungry?"

Mi Qinlin looked alert and was at a loss. He subconsciously avoided Xiao Jiangsheng's touch.

"Are you hungry?" Yuan Wuyou glanced at Mi Qinlin who was holding the child, "Go feed him."

Mi Qinlin was dumbfounded, "Little ancestor, what should I feed you?"

"It's not like you need to feed me. Go find some rice soup or goat's milk or something like that."

Xiao Jiangsheng nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea." Then he waved to the red-shirted female shopkeeper who was following behind him, "Hongluan, go to the kitchen and get some goat milk or rice soup. I'll feed her."

The red-shirted female shopkeeper responded and turned away.

The three people and the child here entered the room reserved for the Dongjia water snake.

Yuan Wuyou was afraid that there were ears in the corridor, so he didn't say much along the way. When he got there, he asked Xiao Jiangsheng: "How did you know Brother Fei? He said you could help me join the Wolong Gang."

As soon as Xiao Jiangsheng entered his room, he asked the two to find a seat and make them feel at home.

Then he replied to her casually:

"I am an orphan of the Jiangling Rebellion. When I was two or three years old, my whole family was gone. It was my third brother Yu Fei who saved me from the Yangtze River. He is my adoptive father. He gave me the name "Jiang Sheng". It means reborn from the Yangtze River."

Yuan Wuyou stood casually leaning against the wall, and Xiao Jiangsheng, who was wearing a thin dark green shirt, also leaned against the wall with her, folding his arms and smiling.

"Then why don't you work for him instead of wandering around?"

"Well, I'm not that lucky. When I was a kid, the imperial court came to investigate the remnants of the Xiao family a few times. My third brother wanted to protect me, but he was demoted to the position of county magistrate in Xinye County. I ran away out of anger... and was picked up by the leader of the Wolong Gang, who raised me as his son."

Yuan Wuyou nodded in response, "Your life is really rough."

"Later, because I learned medical skills from my third brother and was raised by the eldest brother, I joined the Wolong Gang when I was young and became their military advisor and doctor."

At this point, Xiao Jiangsheng glanced at Mi Qinlin who was holding the child next to him with his narrow eyes.
"Recently, many people in Rang County have been infected with the plague. I was there when they were fighting for medicine with the Xiao family. So I think the gang leader will probably agree to what you said about exchanging the Xiao family's children for medicine." Yuan Wuyou's eyes had turned cold at this time. "Since you are a member of the Xiao family, will you still help me?"

"I do have a grudge against the Zhou Kingdom, but that has nothing to do with the Western Wei Empress. My life was saved by the Yuan family, so it has nothing to do with the Xiao family."

As he spoke, Xiao Jiangsheng suddenly took a step closer to her, and came in front of Yuan Wuyou, with a seductive look in his eyes, "The king just helped me out, I have to repay this favor, and you want to exchange the antidote for the sand light disease with the Xiao family, isn't it also for us? If things can be done quickly,"

He used his fingers to gently hook Yuan Wuyou's messy hair, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The bed in my private house is very soft. Since it is considered a life-saving grace, I am willing to pledge my body and accompany the king for one night."

The moment these words entered Yuan Wuyou's ears, his heart sank. It was over. He had just been too focused on showing off and had gotten himself into trouble.

She quickly took a step back and raised her hand to block the two of them:

"Stop! I'm here to ask you to help save someone, you don't have to do this. And I already have someone I like, you should have heard about it, right?"

"Tsk, it's just one sentence, why is the king so scared?"

The man standing against the wall had his arms folded, his eyebrows raised playfully, and he looked like he was leisurely watching the fun.

He added in a frivolous tone: "What a fuss! I won't compete with them for fame. I'm just thanking you."

When Mi Qinlin, who was standing nearby, saw what was happening, he belatedly came over with his child in his arms, and glared at the two of them angrily.

"Are you here to rescue people or to flirt?"

After his reminder, it would be inappropriate to forget the business. Yuan Wuyou said solemnly to the man in front of him:
"No need, I'm still young, I don't need such thanks, if you really want to thank me, help me save someone."

"Who to save?"

"Dangxiang Khan Wan Yu is safe and sound, and is imprisoned in Xi'e City."

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Jiangsheng, who had his arms folded and a playful smile on his face, suddenly became serious.

"Wait, who did you say to save?"

"The Dangxiang Khan is now called Tuoba Ningcong. Why, you don't dare to help because you're afraid of getting into trouble after hearing his name?"

Yuan Wuyou then snorted, "It seems that I came here for nothing, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

"Don't say goodbye!"

Xiao Jiangsheng grabbed her wrist, but after she glared at him, he pulled it back awkwardly.

Then, his eyes became much clearer.

"Aren't you going to save the Tangut Khan? In fact, the formula of the Xiao family's antidote is the same as the one that the Tangut female Khan gave to the people three years ago, and she was the one who taught me how to treat the plague."

"Oh? You know the Tangut Khan? What's going on?"

"Three years ago, the Wolong Gang was also hit by the plague. I was the first one to be infected. It was the Dangxiang female Khan sent by the court who saved me and took me to the anti-epidemic palace in Nanyang. She treated me and brought me medicine to save people... I even helped out in the Nanyang Palace for a few days."

At this point, Xiao Jiangsheng suddenly looked at Yuan Wuyou with bright eyes, "I met the current Dangxiang Khan in the past. He was still the young master at that time. Unfortunately, when I met him, it was too late. He didn't even see his mother for the last time... Since he is the son of my benefactor, I must save him."
