A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 878: Sneaking into the County Government Office
The warm morning sunshine shone on the wet ground, and the soft soil that had not yet dried showed how violent the rain was last night.

Yuan Wuyou put on gray men's clothes, tied up his hair and put on a fake beard, disguising himself as a member of the Wolong Gang. Then, together with the old gang leader Guo Jianglong and Xiao Jiangsheng, who both had white hair and beard, he swaggered into Xi'e City and made it all the way to the county government office.

Only then did she tell Guo Jianglong the truth. She actually wanted to visit Dangxiang Khan, not the Duke of Nanyang. She just asked them to help her sneak in and then lure the tiger away from the mountain to delay the Duke of Nanyang.

Hearing this, Guo Jianglong was not surprised at all, and even breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he had expected it. But he had to be frank in advance. If the matter was exposed, he would definitely want to protect himself at the critical moment. After all, there were still hundreds of people in his gang. He had to think about his men and dared not offend the government and warlords.

Yuan Wuyou emphasized again that she was not going to assassinate the Duke of Nanyang, but they were now on high alert and saw enemies everywhere. She had no grudge against the Duke of Nanyang, and even if she was exposed, she would make him escape unscathed.

Even if we take a step back and say that the Duke of Nanyang has a falling out with your Wolong Gang, he can just throw himself into the arms of Wei Tuohua and Dangxiang, and they will still have someone to protect them.

After much persuasion, Guo Jianglong finally took her to the county government office to see the Duke of Nanyang. He sent Chi Luo Xie away to discuss the antidote, and asked Xiao Jiangsheng to take Yuan Wuyou to secretly find the prison.

As a result, before Yuan Wuyou entered the prison, he met Yuwen Huaibi who came out with two guards at the corner of the yard. He was still wearing the white jade mask, a pale yellow wide-sleeved shirt, and a Gan Jiang sword on his waist.

When the two groups of people bumped into each other, Xiao Jiangsheng had just looked up to see a tall, dazzling, jade-faced nobleman when he was captured by two guards who rushed over from the nobleman's side!

The two guards held his head down, forced him to lower his head, and shouted at him: "You are not allowed to look up at the emperor's face!"

At the same time, the nobleman in yellow shirt was surprised: "Wuyou'er, why are you dressed like this?"

The girl in men's clothing was even more shocked than him. She realized it later and bowed, "How can you recognize me after I've dressed up like this? How come Your Majesty is here?"

The Jade-faced Emperor spoke in a clear voice, "Do you underestimate me? I can recognize you just by looking at your eyes."

Xiao Jiangsheng then realized that the person in front of him was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and judging from the situation, he had a very close relationship with the Queen. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I, the humble servant, kowtow to the emperor, um!——"

Before he could finish his words, the guards covered his mouth and dragged him away.

"Hey!" Yuan Wuyou followed with a surprised look, but the Xianbei man in front of him raised his hand to stop him: "I have something to tell you, please send everyone else away first."

"What?"

"I have inquired for you. Wan Yuwuyu is not in prison. He is in the backyard of the county government office. However, it is heavily guarded by the soldiers sent by the Prime Minister. Even I can't get in."

Then, Yuwen Huaibi said worriedly that Wan Yuwu was now like a mad dog and would beat and bite anyone who approached him.

He was now covered in wounds and blood from the torture, but he didn't know where he got the strength from, which made the torturers afraid to get close to him for fear of being eaten alive by him, even though he had not eaten or drunk anything for a whole day and night since he arrived.

Yuan Wuyou was of course anxious when she heard the news, so she asked Yuwen Huaibi to lead the way and take her to find him.

But she could only stand at the gate of the yard where Wan Yuwu was imprisoned. She could not go in any further. She could only hear the angry and painful roar of the young man coming from the other side of the wall.

Someone happened to come out at this time. When Yuan Wuyou saw the figure, he immediately dodged and hid behind the bushes. It turned out to be a clerk sent by the Prime Minister to interrogate Wan Yuwuyou.

He was wearing a long official robe and was covered in blood. When he saw the emperor in yellow at the door, he hurriedly saluted politely.

When Yuwen Huaibi asked him about the situation inside, the clerk who was interrogating him was immediately filled with grievances. He was so angry that he said that if he didn't have to keep the person alive, he would have beaten the Qiang Khan to death!
Fortunately, he was just speaking in anger. He told the Prime Minister not to let the Emperor in, and then left in a hurry, saying that he was going to change his clothes.

Yuan Wuyou came out from behind the bushes and became even more anxious after hearing this. Yuan Wuyou wanted to climb over the eaves and walls, pry open the tiles from the roof and go in to check on Wan Yuwu! But Yuwen Huaibi stopped her, saying that her idea was too extreme. After all, the roof structure was solid, and she didn't know which tile was under which room he was locked in. If she made too much noise, she would be exposed before she could accomplish her goal.

But if he didn't want to go to extremes and take the main entrance, Yuwen Huaibi had no choice.

Yuan Wuyou thought for a long time but could not come up with a solution, so he wanted Yuwen Huaibi to help pass the message to Wan Yuwuyu to eat well, because as long as there is a green mountain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Yuwen Huaibi said helplessly that he had tried to persuade Wan Yuwuyu in front of the special envoy of the Prime Minister, but he did not dare to say anything explicit, and it was of no use as Wan Yuwuyu simply ignored him.

All he could do was to get a message from the Prime Minister, saying that he wanted Dangxiang Khan alive and escorted him back to Chang'an in a few days. Then he used the Prime Minister's order as an excuse to not let anyone interfere with Dangxiang Khan's diet, fearing that he would be poisoned.

Yuan Wuyou then tried to sneak in by disguising himself as an interrogator, but was ruthlessly rejected.

However, Yuwen Huaibi told her that those who went to interrogate Dangxiang Khan were all subordinates of the special envoy and the prime minister, and they could not impersonate him.

Just at this time, Yuwen Xiaobo came with a food box and basket to bring food to his younger brother.

When several people bumped into each other, they looked at each other in surprise.

Yuwen Xiaobo subconsciously covered the food box and stared at the girl in men's clothing with vigilance: "Who are you? Are you sent by the Prime Minister to torture me?"

Yuan Wuyou spread his hands and said, "It's me, Yuan Wuyou."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, it's you? How did you get in?"

"It's a long story. Did you come to deliver the meal? Did he eat it?"

Yuwen Xiaobo: "Whether he wants to eat or not, I have to send it to him." He paused, his eyes filled with surprise, "Why are the two kings standing guard at the door? Are you here to see my brother too?"

Yuan Wuyou nodded in response, then took a step forward, took out a chestnut from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Give this to Wan Yu Wu Yu, and he will eat."

Yuwen Xiaobo glanced at the thing in her hand curiously: "Chestnut? What's the code? Did you put a note in it?"

"No, it's edible."

"That won't work either. I search everyone when they come in, and the food I deliver is what they specifically requested. I can't have anything more."

The brother spoke calmly with a serious face, but Yuan Wuyou could hear the feeling of a miserable life. The two brothers really had the same temper, both of them used this calm and indifferent face to say things that made others feel uncomfortable.

She reluctantly took back the chestnut in her hand.
"If it doesn't work, just give him a mouthful of chestnuts, and he'll be able to eat. Go and try it."

After hearing this, Yuwen Xiaobo's eyes lit up.

"So magical? I'll have to try it later."

So he went in with the food box to deliver the meal, leaving the yellow-shirted, jade-faced Xianbei emperor alone with a sinister look in his eyes, pursed lips and kept silent.
