A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 870 The Swordsman in the Bamboo Hat
Now that a consensus had been reached, Yuan Wuyou relaxed his frown.

"Well, let's make a quick decision. Can you let me meet the people from the Wolong Gang tonight?"

Seeing her being so straightforward, the man standing against the wall frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then relaxed his brows.

"It just so happens that the Second Master is at the Huibin Building in the city tonight. He said he wants to listen to the Taoist nuns from Wudang playing Taoist music."

"There is Taoist music playing here. Do any Taoist nuns dare to come?"

"It is said that the Wudang Taoist temple was looted by Bai Lan's female soldiers, and the men were trapped on the mountain by the female soldiers to entertain the troops. Only some Taoist nuns came down. I don't know if it's true or not. I think they were imitating the nuns of Mount Tai."

"It's already this late, isn't the restaurant where we listen to music going to rest yet?"

"Well, you're just listening to music now, and you go upstairs to rest right after you finish listening to the music."

"Ah? Oh. Then I'll go and see too... ahem, see!"

Yuan Wuyou was so excited that his throat became dry when he spoke, and he suddenly coughed.

As a result, Xiao Jiangsheng looked at him all the time. He immediately became alert and asked nervously, "Did you get tricked?"

"Ok?"

Mi Qinlin was the first to react and quickly explained:
"She is not sick. She just caught a cold from the rain in Xi'e City. She has been fighting in Xinye these past few days."

Xiao Jiangsheng then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yuan Wuyou with concern.

"You are a man of great importance, so I shouldn't have said anything too much. But tonight, we only want male guests. We will conduct a strict inspection to prevent anyone with the disease from sneaking in."

Mi Qinlin's eyes lit up: "Only men? Is it legal?"

Xiao Jiangsheng was a little embarrassed.

So the three of them decided to explore the route first. They couldn't bring the children with them because the target would be too obvious, but they were also worried about leaving them in the inn.

Xiao Jiangsheng then came up with an idea, saying that his female manager Hongluan was also a member of the Wolong Gang, and that he brought her into the gang himself. She was also his confidante, so he could definitely trust her in this regard.

He wanted Hongluan to hold the child and follow the three of them all the way, and then stay in a hotel opposite the Huibin Building so that she could bring the child over if anything happened.

Xiao Jiang was afraid that this noble from the Yuan family would not trust his people, so he said sincerely:
"The most important thing is that we are just gangsters after all. Now we are relying on the remaining prestige of the founding duke of Rang County, and we are protected by the government. But we are also afraid of offending the government. You send a large army to attack us. It's just a matter of a word to kill good people and suppress bandits."

Yuan Wuyou felt that it made sense. After all, they also wanted to exchange medicine with the Xiao family through this child, and the Xiao family looked down on them as a bunch of gangsters. Only he could have a say with the Xiao family.

The most important thing is that what Xiao Jiangsheng said hit the nail on the head.

She immediately waved her hand, looking serious.
"That's not necessary! This is a cooperation between the government and the people. You have a friendship with the third brother in Xiangyang, and your Rang County Founding Duke and I also have a friendship. If it succeeds, we will both win. If it fails, at worst you can join the army and surrender to your third brother, and he will definitely protect you."

Xiao Jiangsheng was naturally flattered and waved his hands to thank him repeatedly, saying that he was a rough man from the mountains and was used to the world, so he didn't have that ability.

Although officials and bandits are one family, if they dare to disrespect the officials, Wudang County is a good example. As long as Yuan Wuyou gives an order, Dangxiang and Xiangyang will fight wherever they point to. The army coming to Rang County is indeed here to suppress the bandits.

If this is not enough, then Bai Lan will definitely be willing to help the King of Huaxu fight a few punches and kicks when she hears that there is a legitimate opportunity to fight. If a fight breaks out in Rang County, perhaps the Southern Chen will be interested in getting a piece of the pie, and the Northern Zhou will definitely want to take the opportunity to regain lost territory.

Therefore, it is not to say that Yuan Wuyou has much appeal, but there are too many people involved. In addition, no one wants to offend and be the first to start the fire.

After a while, the sound of stringed instruments could be heard in the Huibin Building, and it was equally lively outside the building.

As expected, Yuan Wuyou didn't even get in. As soon as she moved forward, the two guys who were guarding the door said that she looked like a woman. She argued for a while, but they didn't believe her and stretched out their hands to "check" her! She was almost groped in public, so she turned around and ran away!
When the gatekeeper saw her turn and leave, he was quite surprised and tried to stop her, but Mi Qinlin who was following her kicked the guy who was chasing him to the ground.

The two of them made a scene, causing chaos at the door.

Xiao Jiangsheng, who was following behind the two of them and didn't dare to show his face for fear of being recognized, was still recognized by the receptionist.

The two guys at the door didn't care about the situation at that time. They pulled out whips from their waists and chased for several steps to catch the two men!
It would only take Yuan Wuyou a few steps to shake them off, but he was worried about Xiao Jiangsheng who was detained by them, so he was hesitating whether to run or not.

At this moment, a knight holding a whip suddenly appeared and walked over from the opposite side. He wore a straw hat and a raincoat. With two whips, he beat away the guys who were chasing them.

Seeing someone coming out to attract attention, Yuan Wuyou and Mi Qinlin turned their heads and took the opportunity to slip away.

The two ran to a nearby dark alley and leaned against the wall to catch their breath.

Mi Qinlin also asked her: "Do you know the man who helped you fend off the pursuers just now?"

Yuan Wuyou shook her head: "I don't know them. I have no connections with people in the underworld." She paused, her eyes filled with resentment, "These hooligans are really hooligans. They are really too lawless."

Mi Qinlin looked sympathetic: "You finally understand my pain."

Just then, they heard footsteps coming from the alley. The two of them were instantly alert and turned back at the same time.

"who?"

The two turned their heads and saw a person standing at the entrance of the alley with his back to the moonlight, wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat. It was the person who had rescued them just now.

Yuan Wuyou stepped forward first, bowed and said:
"Thank you, hero—"

Before she could finish her words, the man suddenly lashed at her with the whip!

Yuan Wuyou dodged and drew out the sword at his side.

The man in white shirt following behind her also exclaimed, "Do you two have a grudge against each other?"

She looked alert and a little unbelieving, "May I ask who you are, hero? You just came to my rescue, why are you coming at me now?"

As a result, the hero said nothing, but just walked towards her with a long whip in his hand.

Yuan Wuyou decisively took the initiative and attacked him with her sword! In a split second, her sword was whipped away by him with a whip, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at the hero in the bamboo hat in front of her, thinking that there are indeed masters in the world, and his attack speed is really fast.

But Yuan Wuyou did not hesitate and hurriedly bent down to pick up her sword, but suddenly a long whip like a black snake swung in front of her and instantly wrapped around her hands!
The stinging pain from the leather whip hitting her wrist made her groan in pain.

She felt her wrist was numb, hot and painful.

Yuan Wuyou used both hands to try to break free from the whip that was bound around her wrists, but the man in the bamboo hat was already approaching her.

"Stop struggling. The more you struggle, the tighter the whip will get."

When the man spoke, his voice was deep and rough. He was about thirty or forty years old. He really sounded like a knight who had traveled the world and experienced many vicissitudes of life. However, Yuan Wuyou had never seen this man in his memory.

She raised her head angrily and looked at the man in the bamboo hat who walked up to her.
