A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 927 Bai Lan's Beauty
The next morning.

Yuan Wuyou was still in the tent of King Dangxiang when a messenger from Xinye came to report that Bai Lan had sent an envoy to Xinye to ask for peace from the King of Huaxu.

But since she was not there, King Lanling was certain that she was in the Dangxiang camp outside the city.

Gao Changgong knows her quite well... After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou felt embarrassed and got goosebumps all over her body, and she woke up completely.

When she heard the news, she pushed down the boy who was also woken up in bed, touched his soft, slightly curly, messy hair, and told him to continue sleeping, saying that she would be back soon.

Since he had only gone to bed in the second half of the night, Wan Yuwu was indeed very tired. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, so he agreed to let her go.

Yuan Wuyou put on his armor quickly, then rode his horse with the messenger to meet the envoy sent by the Bailan rebels outside Xinye City.

When she saw that the envoy from Bai Lan was the female leader who was related to the Xifeng tribe, she suddenly felt heavy-hearted.

As soon as they met, the negotiating envoy from Bai Lan said directly: As long as the King of Hua Xu married their Prince Adu from Bai Lan, he would give her a thousand bows and crossbows, and the entire Bai Lan clan would submit to Hua Xu.

At first glance, it sounded like they were defeated in the war and were sending the prince to marry. However, Yuan Wuyou didn't even need to think about it to realize that Bai Lan wanted to become Hua Xu's in-laws and was trying to prevent their in-laws from interfering in government affairs.

Yuan Wuyou refused bluntly: A thousand crossbows are not worth marrying him, and it is obvious that you are not sincere in your surrender.

Just as the two groups were at a stalemate and were about to reach an agreement, a voice suddenly came from behind the Huaxu King, who was wearing armor and military sleeves, saying, "King Dangxiang has arrived!"

Yuan Wuyou and Bai Lanren looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was indeed Wan Yuwuyu.

The young man was tall and straight, still wearing the silver-white rhinoceros leather armor. He even had time to tie a high ponytail with white wolf hair. He came over with a heroic look and a gloomy face.

Yuan Wuyou was quite surprised. "Didn't I tell you to sleep a little longer? Why are you out here?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he became jealous again as she expected:
"I heard that Bai Lan wanted to offer you a beauty. I came to see if you were going to be a tyrant again and bring all the men home."

At that time, when Envoy Bai Lan saw the two people standing together and heard their conversation implying that they lived together, he was stunned.

With the young Dangxiang King coming out to stop them, he glared at the Bailan people as if they were his rivals. The envoy knew that the marriage could not be negotiated, so he simply gave up and ridiculed the queen for sleeping with a wolf.

Yuan Wuyou ignored her and didn't care about Bai Lan. After sending them away, he grabbed Wan Yuwuyu and dragged him back to the Dangxiang camp, entrusting him to Mi Qinlin to watch over him as he slept.

She said she was going back to Xinye and then left.

After being beaten up by the King of Huaxu and the Dangxiang Khan and being isolated, Bai Lan had to return to the camp in the north of Mulan City.

The messenger did not leave either. She stood on the hillside not far away. When she saw the female ruler in golden armor coming out of the Dangxiang camp and riding her horse towards Xinye City, she turned around and went down the hillside.

Then he ran all the way back to the Huangyou gathering point east of Xinye County.

At this time, at the gate of Huangyouju City, there were really several people waiting for her to come back and report the news.

The female leader of Xifeng went straight to the city gate, along with a red-faced young man and Princess Bailan.

When he came closer, he put his hand on his shoulders and bowed.

"Your Highness, the queen has just left from the Dangxiang king's tent." Princess Brandy nodded without any surprise, then turned around to look at the young man beside her with a nervous look.

"Don't be sad, cousin. Didn't she break up with that male fox from Northern Qi? Even if they have a secret relationship, it's only temporary."

The boy with a red birthmark on his face had a gloomy look on his face and snorted, "Who cares who she has an affair with? I only care whether she lives or dies."

Upon hearing his cousin's blunt and harsh words, Brandy cleverly waved his hand and sent away the Xifeng tribe leader and guards. When there were only two people left at the city gate, he said cautiously:

"Didn't you say that someone in Northern Zhou offered Huang Youju to exchange for the life of the queen? Aren't you afraid of offending the Zhou people if you kill her? Besides, who among us can kill her?"

"I don't really want her to die. Since Brother Moon is willing to exchange the city for the female king, we have to help him get the woman. If we can't separate her and Tangut Khan, we will probably be surrounded and attacked by various forces."

As he spoke, A'Du reached down and pulled out a sheepskin map from his wide sleeves, unfolded it, pointed at the map and said:

"Our people are stationed in the north of Mulan City, like a nail wedged between Zhou, Qi and Southern Chen. They can't tolerate us, and it's only a matter of time before we get beaten."

Hearing this, Brandy leaned over to look at the map.

"If we can't defeat them, why don't we just run away? Now that the Tanguts have come out, we can just go back and seize their territory."

"If we want to escape unscathed, we must pass through the Tanguts' territory, but haven't we fallen out with the Tanguts? Fortunately, the Tanguts don't get along with anyone, and they even dare to seize the land of the female king."

As he spoke, the young man's slender white fingers slid across the map.
"The Tanguts in the west have already used the name of an alliance with the Lord of Huaxu to compete with us for territory. The most important thing right now is to separate the Lord of Huaxu and the Tangut Khan and gain the support of the Northern Zhou."

Brandy withdrew his gaze from the map and sighed.

"Dangxiang Khan grew up with her and they are deeply in love. Their relationship is far better than that between Lanling Prince and Yuwen State Lord. As long as they don't have internal conflicts, no other man can break them up."

"Then you have to think of a way to break them up."

A'Du turned his head and gave the woman a teasing smile, "You have experienced many battles among men. Even if you can't do anything to the female king, can you do nothing to the male Khan?"

Brandy spread his hands:
"There's really nothing we can do. That man doesn't seem to be interested in women, like a stubborn donkey in the desert. He treats the queen like a wolf cub chasing after a female wolf king. I don't think they have a romantic relationship, but more like a master and slave. The key is that the slave is willing."

A'Du's eyes were gloomy and disgusted. "You are just incompetent."

Brandy refused to accept the offer and retorted with his back teeth bitten.
"You little brat...how can you say that about your cousin? Actually, I have an idea about this matter."

"explain."

"Aren't those two very ambitious? The Dangxiang are nominally trying to seize her territory and annex Jingxiang. I don't think their relationship will last long. Once their respective territorial interests are touched upon, it will collapse and they may even become enemies."

"I think that guy's evil ambitions are only effective against you and the Northern Zhou. He becomes cowardly when fighting against the queen. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to compete with the queen for territory. When he attacked Xinye before, didn't he withdraw his troops just because the queen was on the other side?"

"No matter whether this wolfish ambition to seize territory is true or false, the queen just needs to believe it. The Han emperors are all suspicious. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, others can water them with anything and turn the soil over and it will grow."
