A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 939 Meeting Uncle on the Road
At this moment, Yuan Wuyou looked at the stubborn and obstinate Dangxiang man in front of him, and only one sentence came to his mind: As expected, the soldiers are like the person they lead.

She used to think that Mi Qinlin was lively and smart, but when faced with problems, he turned out to be as stubborn as his master.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the Qiang guards behind him remained silent. Perhaps they did not understand the Chinese conversation between the two people, but they kept their eyes on Yuan Wuyou vigilantly, and she could not really fight him.

Yuan Wuyou had to pretend to compromise and agreed to return to Nanyang with Mi Qinlin.

Because he was followed by several mounted Qiang guards, and everyone in the area around Rang County knew him as the second-in-command of the Dangxiang, they took the official road.

If Yuan Wuyou wanted to get out, he had plenty of ways to do it. In addition, it was getting darker, so it was more convenient for them to walk in the wild.

She saw a forest and was about to relieve herself, but Mi Qinlin reacted immediately and urged his horse to stop her.

"It's getting dark. This wilderness is not safe. It's not convenient for us to go with you. Please hold it in for a while."

Yuan Wuyou frowned his delicate baby face, his eyebrows and eyes were painful: "I can't hold it anymore, when have I ever been afraid of the dark?"

Mi Qinlin said sincerely: "No, I was afraid you would run away."

Oh my god, this guy is so hard to fool.

Yuan Wuyou still had a stern face, his eyes full of sincerity:

"If I want to run away, do I have to walk with you?"

"Who can say for sure?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou secretly thought that he had seen it wrong. Mi Qinlin was much smarter than Wan Yuwuyu.

Seeing that he was not moved by any persuasion and refused to give an inch, Yuan Wuyou suddenly flicked the reins and urged the horse to go away!

Seeing her running away on horseback, Mi Qinlin quickly caught up with her:
"Hey! Why are you riding a horse when you're going to relieve yourself?"

But the person in front didn't reply to him and soon disappeared.

Yuan Wuyou just ran away in front of him.

At that time, the sky was as dark as ink, and a pale moon with a missing tooth hung above our heads.

In the dark night, even the wind blowing on your face is warm.

Yuan Wuyou was unfamiliar with the place and wanted to go to Rang County, but he ran until it was completely dark before he found the way back.

As a result, on a small path in the woods, Yuan Wuyou met a group of people on horseback dressed in Western costumes, and they stopped her again.

She met the newcomer on a narrow road. Yuan Wuyou stopped his horse and drew his sword. The man on the other side said in surprise:
"Niece, why are you here?"

With the help of the pale moonlight, Yuan Wuyou realized that the person speaking to him was his uncle.

Her eyes were suddenly filled with joy and she sheathed her sword again.

"I'm here to save you. I heard that the Tanguts wanted to eat people. You came to suppress the rebellion but your heart was taken out? Is it serious?"

After saying this, Yuan Wuyou dared to look at the men opposite him. Because the other men on horseback were all wearing Western robes and skirts with slits to their navels, exposing their chests and abdomens, and their skin was dazzlingly white under the moonlight... Yuan Wuyou knew the rules and it was not appropriate to stare at the private parts of strangers.

But when she looked closely, she realized that her uncle was the only one in the group who didn't show any skin. Yuan Zizhu was wearing an orange long-sleeved round-necked robe, which covered his neck tightly. But he showed broad shoulders and narrow waist, bulging chest, and a slender and majestic figure.

Yuan Zizhu was wearing a golden mask on his face, with his jet-black hair draped softly over his shoulders. The patterns on his round-necked robe were all exotic totems, making him look like a beauty from the Western Regions.

Not showing his face makes him look even more mysterious. My uncle is so exotic! No wonder he can come and go freely in Rang County.

From his neck up, he was wearing a golden mask, his injured arm was wrapped with white bandages and hung on his neck, and his other healthy hand was covering his chest.

When Yuan Zizhu heard his niece's precise question, he knew he couldn't hide it from her. Even though the girl was looking at him fiercely, her eyes were calm and without any evil intentions, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Fearing that the child would worry, Yuan Zizhu waved his hand, and the pair of phoenix eyes under the golden mask forced out a comforting smile.

"It's a long story. I was just pricked by a needle, the bleeding stopped, and I was almost eaten by a monster from the Western Regions."

"Ah? What monster?"

Hearing this, Yuan Zizhu's eyes, which had just been smiling, suddenly became sharp, and he sneered as he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't believe you are here to save me. You want to see if that ungrateful wolf really eats people, right?"

"Both. What happened? Why did you come to Rang County?"

Yuan Zizhu sighed, "I guess I have told you everything about the people I have brought here. That's right, King Dangxiang colluded with the evil and occupied the territory of the Great Zhou. He even selected boys and girls from the captives as tribute. He even ate people. That's why the Zhou sent me to suppress the rebellion."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes widened in astonishment. "Ah? No, is this true? If they all eat people, then Zhou State sent you alone to suppress the rebellion? Those people in Rang County don't act like good kids. How come there is no movement after this incident? Don't they resist?"

"That's the problem. When I got here, I found out that the people of Rang County all thought that it was the gods and Buddhas from the Western Regions who cured them of the plague these days, and they didn't even believe that it was the Tanguts who gave them the medicine."

Having said that, Yuan Zizhu snorted from under the golden mask.

"I left Rang County immediately and reported the matter to the special envoy of the Grand Prime Minister of the Zhou State. But those guys actually ordered me to sneak into Rang County, the main city where they were causing trouble, and asked me to dig out the mastermind of these evil demons and destroy their hideout!"

"It's just personal revenge!"

Before Yuan Zizhu could speak, several male guards in Western costumes behind him echoed in unison:
"Your Highness is right! We didn't realize how terrible it was until we entered the city. Did you know? Those people didn't let go of any man, woman or child!"

"It seems that Rang County has been occupied. The Qiang soldiers in the city have captured both young girls and boys. When we went out on the street, we didn't even see a few young girls or boys, but they were captured."

"Those Westerners didn't treat us as human beings. They forcibly checked whether we were virgins, stripped us naked and touched us, and even sniffed the deformed Western puppy. I, a man, felt humiliated. I wonder how much suffering the girls had to endure."

Yuan Wuyou listened to the group of people complaining one by one, her eyes full of shock. She turned her head to look at her uncle who was turning back to stop his subordinates with a stern look, and said worriedly:
"Uncle, your situation is too dangerous, isn't it? Then why did the Zhou Kingdom send you here? Is it because you secretly dispatched the Yuan family's soldiers to help me break the siege of Xinye?"

Upon hearing this, before Yuan Zizhu could reply, one of his subordinates behind him looked at Yuan Wuyou with resentment and said angrily:

"What? It's because a few days ago, the prince asked the Wolong Gang in Rang County to help you sneak into Xi'e City and rescue the Dangxiang King, which offended the Prime Minister's special envoy! And the Xiao family--"

"——Shut up!" Yuan Zizhu quickly interrupted the man who spoke, glanced at his subordinate beside him, and stopped him from saying more.

But looking at the guards behind my uncle, who were all unwilling and indignant, staring at Yuan Wuyou with an attitude of wanting to say something but stopping themselves, I knew that what the man had just said was true.
