A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 937 Uncle is missing
Before Yuan Wuyou left Xinye, he naturally arranged for war. First, he asked Beier to go to the nearby Huangyouju to get information, and then asked Jialuo to send people to work overtime to build the city defense.

When she came back facing the setting sun, there was no sign of the bloody battle outside Xinye City as seen last night, and there was no fear of Qi State leading its troops to attack.

The only thing that surprised Yuan Wuyou was that the Dangxiang soldiers outside the city had left, but Huangyou Ju, the closest to Xinye, was occupied by Bai Lan, and Zhou Guo also fought to the vicinity of Huangyou Ju.

Yuan Wuyou asked around, but got no news about why Dangxiang Khan left, nor did she receive any news about Li Mingjian's return. She couldn't take care of them and only ordered to prepare for war.

So when the Qi army arrived at the city of Xinye, they found that the city wall that had been destroyed last night had been blocked today, and the mud in the cracks between the bricks of the new city wall had not yet dried. No matter how the inside was repaired, at least from the outside, the defense of Xinye City looked as solid as before.

The people of Qi couldn't help but admire the cohesion and strong will of the people of Xinye. They were indeed respectable opponents and tough nut to crack.

But when the Qi people arrived, they sent someone to ask Xinye to open the gate. They just said that it was the King of Huaxu who sent them, but the next moment - the King of Huaxu came out from the city gate tower and refuted them in public.

The Qi army under the city looked at each other in shock!
They were surprised that King Huaxu, who was supposed to be in the Qi camp, suddenly returned to Xinye.

Yuan Wuyou also didn't see Lanling King who was supposed to lead the army.

As the Qi people's lies were exposed and they left in disgrace without attacking the city, Yuan Wuyou realized something belatedly -

It seems that Qi did not really want to fight with Xinye, but wanted to seize the city without bloodshed. Gao Changgong designed to drive her away and asked Wei Xiangyuan to persuade her to come back to Xinye. I am afraid that he leaked military intelligence to her without Qi's knowledge.

Damn it, Yuan Wuyou had just read the suicide note and was confused by Gao Changgong's anger. Now he was only left with worry.

She was worried that he would be held responsible for the leak and be punished.

——After Yuan Wuyou arranged all the war preparations with Bell and his wife who stayed behind in Xinye, he took off his armor, changed into black clothes, rode on his black horse, and went alone to investigate the enemy situation.

As soon as she rode out of Xinye, she encountered several Qiang people riding horses and carrying crossbows. She was very familiar with the leader.

The two met on a narrow road, and the group of people on the opposite side went straight towards Yuan Wuyou.

When the two groups met, Yuan Wuyou became alert instantly after seeing Brandy's face clearly, and reached down to hold the scabbard at his side.

She took the initiative to speak, her tone intimidating: "Princess Bai Lan, are you here to rob people or to seize territory this time?"

Brandy quickly raised a piece of white cloth from his sleeves, as if surrendering, and smiled awkwardly.
"Don't be so defensive. The dispute caused by a man is over. We are all women. And now that man is in trouble, it's too terrible. I don't want it even if it's free."

"What happened to him?"

"You've got the point!"

After saying that, Brandy suddenly turned around and looked at the young man in black armor and white robe behind him, then raised his hand and pointed at the tight-fitting girl in front of him.

"This person is the Fengling King you are looking for."

When the young man heard this, he quickly dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Wuyou, clasped his fists and said:

"Finally we found the young master! I am the prince's guard, and I am here to tell you that our Heyin King is in trouble!"

"Who? What happened to King Heyin?"

The young man said angrily, "It's all King Dangxiang's fault! It was he who brought the plague and nurtured the demons, causing the Zhou Kingdom to send our King Heyin to that cannibalistic place to quell the rebellion. Now the King has disappeared!"

As he spoke, the young man looked up at Yuan Wuyou with tears in his eyes.

"I also ran away secretly. After receiving the order to go to Rang County to quell the rebellion yesterday, the prince did not allow us to inform you."

"Wait wait wait, what happened to these two people?"

Facing the questioning gaze of the queen, which swept back and forth between the two of them, Brandy helplessly spread his hands and sighed:

"Dangxiang King Tuoba Ningcong, he eats people!" "Ah? When did it happen?"

"I just heard about it. If you keep talking a little longer, I'm afraid your uncle will be eaten by him... not even a bone will be left."

The black-shirted female king, who was sitting upright on a tall horse with her back straight, looked at the young guard under the horse with questioning eyes.

But he nodded repeatedly and agreed.

Yuan Wuyou was shocked. Without thinking, he quickly dropped the brandy and followed the guard.

The two men rode their horses along Nanyang towards Rang County in the west.

On the way, Yuan Wuyou realized that he was too careless. He hadn't figured out anything yet. How come Bai Lan and Yuan Zizhu were colluding? Could it be that they were luring the tiger away from the mountain?

She turned around and asked the young man, "Aren't you Yuan Zizhu's guard? I haven't heard that he is friends with Bai Lan? How did you get together with Princess Bai Lan?"

The young man scratched his head through his helmet and laughed, "The emperor asked me to find you through the Bailan people in the Huangyou gathering place. In fact, the emperor was afraid that you would know this, so he lent the Huangyou gathering place to the Bailan people. The Bailan tribe has long been the emperor's spy."

Yuan Wuyou gritted his teeth secretly, "These people are really fence-sitters, they change their enemies and allies at any time!"

The young man looked sincere, "The most urgent thing now is to find our prince. The emperor thinks the same as we do, that only you, Prince Fengling, are capable of wading through this muddy water."

"Why did Zhou treat Yuan Zizhu like this? Why did Yuwen Huaibi ask you to come to me? Could it be that one of them is a good guy and the other is a bad guy, trying to trick us uncle and nephew into dying together?"

"Ah? No way? I think the emperor treats you very specially. For your sake, he even dared to go against the special envoy of the prime minister. The emperor and our prince have a long-standing friendship. When our prince went against the prime minister in the court, it was the emperor who helped the prince mediate."

——As soon as the queen and her uncle's men left, Brandy led the Qiang soldiers back.

On the way, she met a red-faced young man who was riding alone to supervise the battle. He was her cousin A'du.

The red-faced boy had a gloomy look in his eyes.

"She went to Rang County?"

"She just left. Do you have anything to tell her? We should be able to catch up with her if we chase her now."

"Do you think she will help her uncle or King Dangxiang?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on who is right. I think that Dangxiang King dared to make a deal with you evil gods, and he didn't think about the good. I'm afraid the queen will have to help her uncle."

"Humph, she'd better be a tyrant. In this day and age, pretending to be a fool will save her from pain. It would be best if the man named Lou could persuade her to become one of ours."

"That's tough, isn't it? Huaxu is the most conservative Han Chinese, and she has too many lovers in the Central Plains to count, especially that male vixen and that ungrateful wolf. It's too late for you to catch up now, isn't it?"

"Han emperors are the most affectionate and the most ruthless. She can like several people at once, so why would she need one more? People like new things."

"The men around her are all very jealous, especially the Northern Qi King Ande and the Dangxiang King. One is a foxy man who uses all means to seduce his master, and the other is a wolf with ambitions and deep scheming. It just so happens that these two animals are loyal to one spouse. I'm afraid..."

"We are not afraid of these two guys."

"You don't have to be afraid of them. After all, they are fighting each other to death. I'm afraid that the queen will have a hard time dealing with them on the battlefield, and she will probably be torn apart by them in the love field as well."

A'du glanced sideways at his cousin who was smiling playfully and looking teasing in the eyes.

"Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"

"Hey, I'm happy for you, cousin."
