A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 928 Why Killed My Father

Something happened in Xinye early in the morning.

But the city was not attacked from outside, but caused internal strife.

The incident happened last night. After Bai Lan and Zhou's troops arrived at the city one after another, after several bloody battles, the land of Jingxiang returned to the control of the Lord of Huaxu.

Because of this, she became an enemy of the Zhou Kingdom, and instead appeared in pairs with a mysterious man in armor, and had a close relationship with the Dangxiang Khan.

When the people of Zhou heard this, they all thought that Empress Huaxu was bewitched by men and would favor whoever tried to seduce her with her beauty.

It was not until the King of Huaxu, who was entrenched in Xinye, sent back the Yuan family soldiers who were assisting her, and went to the Zhou army camp stationed under the city of Nanyang, ready to seize the city, to inform them and ask them to come and claim the bodies.

The people of Zhou only then realized that someone sent Tuoba Yan to sneak into Xinye last night to take advantage of the chaos. He was ordered to assassinate King Fengling, but was killed by her instead.

Along with the obituary, there was also a rumor that Tuoba Yan had attempted to assassinate King Fengling this morning but failed, and was hacked to death by her on the spot. For some reason, the mysterious man in armor beside her also broke up with her, and she seemed to be deserted by everyone. For a while, the female ruler was the only one left to guard the isolated city of Xinye.

In the early morning of Xinye County Inn, a dead body was lying under the steps of the main hall.

Even though it was covered with white cloth from head to toe, it was still stained red with blood.

No one came to collect the body, as if it was deliberately placed there for public display.

It was not until Gao Yanzong, who arrived on horseback and received the news from his brother, that he rushed towards Xinye like crazy.

When Gao Yanzong arrived, the sun was shining brightly in the morning.

——Because of a messenger's report, Gao Yanzong rushed into the inn, bypassed the screen wall in the courtyard and ran towards the main hall, where he saw a person standing on the steps of the main hall.

The King of Huaxu State, Prince Fengling, was wearing golden armor, and the young man had a tall and heroic figure. His armor was the same as the one worn by Gao Yanzong's brother whom he had just met, but the two men had completely different temperaments.

She exudes the aura of a superior who is in awe without anger, and is arrogant and insolent. That is her confidence in her own strength. It is her calmness in not being startled by anyone or anything.

Gao Yanzong dismounted and ran to the bottom of the stairs. Looking at the dead body at the bottom of the stairs, a corner of the white cloth was deliberately lifted, revealing the face of his adoptive father. His heart instantly sank.

Gao Yanzong could only look up at her on the steps, but not only this corpse that meant so much to him, but also himself was at her feet.

The fair baby face of the girl in armor on the steps was covered with dark red bloodstains, and her facial features were gloomy and her expression was indifferent.

Even so, the condescending contempt and oppression in her eyes made Gao Yanzong feel uneasy.

Gao Yanzong subconsciously lowered his head and took a look at the corpse on the ground to confirm it again. When he saw it, his nose felt sore and his mouth blurted out faster than his brain could think - "Godfather!"

He bent over out of habit and wanted to tear off the bloody white cloth covering the corpse, but he held back.

Gao Yanzong immediately raised his head angrily, looking at the girl on the steps who looked like she was possessed by Asura. He shook his head in disbelief, his eyes widened and reddened. "Why did you kill him? Give me a reason, why did you kill my adoptive father!"

"He came to assassinate me for the Zhou people." As she said this, the queen lowered her eyes to look at the man in red at the bottom of the stairs. He just casually tied up his ponytail, and wore a crimson military uniform with a cross collar, without any armor.

But inexplicably, Yuan Wuyou felt that he was much more mature and stable, with a calm temperament of a husband. That's right, when Gao Yanzong was with her, he was a virgin boy, still childish.

Now he has been with who knows how many women he has been with. He has become a complete man, a male fox.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuyou's amber phoenix eyes were sharp, looking down from a high position.

"Last time when we were hunting down Wan Yu Wu Yu and the jade seal, he abused his power for personal gain and helped the Xiao family female soldiers to abuse Wan Yu Wu Yu for you! This time he dared to assassinate me, was it also for you, right?"

Gao Yanzong hurriedly shook his head, his eyelids reddening from his inability to refute, "It wasn't me who ordered it! I..."

His words revealed his lack of confidence, and his tone became weak and powerless.

At the same time, Yuan Wuyou on the steps moved slightly, raised her legs and stepped down. For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of her armor colliding.

Gao Yanzong watched her approaching step by step, the fingertips hanging by his side were trembling, he felt as if his heart was empty, and his whole body was cold and sweaty, and every inch of his skin was trembling.

"But clearly... before... even if he waved a knife at you, you would be able to kill him with just the knife?"

Yuan Wuyou had already walked in front of Gao Yanzong and was looking at the man in front of him. He had handsome features and a baby face that always looked boyish and childish.

But at this moment, his eyelids were red, his brows were frowned and his eyes were drooping, with tears in his eyes, which made him look even more stubborn, yet pitiful.

Whenever he saw Gao Yanzong's face, Yuan Wuyou could forgive his past self who was tempted by his beauty. Who could resist the charm of this male fox?

She secretly promised herself to fall into depravity once more, so Yuan Wuyou slowly held up the man's delicate face with her dark red hands that were dried with blood, and was surprised to find that he had lost weight.

The flesh on both sides of the man's cheeks had sunken, and his jawbone was so thin that it was just skin and bones. No wonder Yuan Wuyou felt that he was much more mature and stable when they first met.

Yuan Wuyou tried his best to put on a mournful expression on his stern face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Gao Yanzong is now working for the Zhou Kingdom. He is no longer your uncle or foster father."

Even though her tone was gentle and seemed to be soothing, there was no humanity in her words.

Gao Yanzong's pair of red peach blossom eyes suddenly contracted, and he realized with horror that the Huaxu ruler in front of him was no longer the Huaxu girl he knew in the past.

Her face was sad, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent and intimidation. She spoke words of pity, but her tone was as sharp as a knife.

She was no longer the Zheng Xuannu that Gao Yanzong had snatched away from his brother, nor was she the naughty girl who had confronted him, laughing and scolding him. She was no longer compassionate and sympathetic to the suffering, but a cold-eyed bystander who regarded human life as worthless, and even no longer alive.

Finally, the next female overlord appeared in the world, who could take over the position of the female emperor of the Wei Dynasty and whip the heroes of the world. But Gao Yanzong also completely lost the youth of his beloved wife.

Gao Yanzong's expression instantly turned painful. He suppressed his grief, his eye sockets slightly moistened, "Yuan Wuyou! Are you so bloodthirsty that you want to kill?"

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, eyes full of compassion, his hands still holding his face, clearly feeling his trembling skin, he suppressed the urge to ridicule, and sighed,
"At this time, it's a life-and-death struggle. If I hesitate, I won't be the King Fengling of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Huaxu will have no future."

"Don't say that! In your eyes, anyone can be killed. There is no one you won't kill!" Gao Yanzong couldn't stand her hypocritical words anymore. He suddenly pulled off her hand and interrupted her angrily!
But when he met her gaze, which instantly turned cold and murderous, he instantly calmed down and shut up.
