A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 940 I Caught You
Yuan Wuyou felt guilty after hearing this, so she pursed her lips and said gloomily:
"Let him continue. It's because of me that my uncle has fallen into this state. Are you still going to hide it from me?"

Yuan Zizhu shook his head immediately, the golden mask on his face reflecting the moonlight. "It has nothing to do with you. I got this job because I did something wrong and was sent by Zhou to make amends."

Before he finished speaking, his subordinates behind him said anxiously: "Your Highness, please don't hide it! If she hadn't asked you to coax the child of the Xiao family, and the child was captured by the Dangxiang people as a virgin, would you have sneaked into the enemy camp to find the child?"

Hearing this, even through the mask, one could see the embarrassment on Yuan Zizhu's face. He turned his head and glanced at his subordinates, "Why don't I usually see you talk so much? When you go back, you will all be punished by the king with twenty strokes of the cane!"

The guard who had spoken just now was scolded. He just smiled and touched his nose, "Prince Fengling is not an outsider. Isn't she your niece?"

"We almost couldn't get out of Rang County alive. Shouldn't we let King Fengling know the truth?"

Yuan Wuyou, who learned the truth, saw that the master and his servants were so sincere. Although Yuan Zizhu was not very decent, he was from the royal family after all and was raised in an aristocratic family. He was not the kind of person who would lie.

Yuan Wuyou's eyes changed from half-belief to shock: "They didn't even let go of the baby? What's going on in the city?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Yuan Zizhu had no choice but to say,

"According to what I know, starting today, King Dangxiang will select boys and girls in the area he occupies and sacrifice them to the evil gods of the Western Regions. He said that only by sacrificing the boys will he give the people the antidote to the Light of the Desert. These evil gods claim that they can also resurrect the dead."

"real or fake?"

"We sneaked in today and took a look. We found that it was indeed very dangerous inside. It was even scarier than what was said outside. We barely escaped with our lives, but unfortunately we didn't find the Xiao family's child."

"Just listening to what you said, I really don't believe it. I'll go in and find out."

"no!"

Before she could finish her words, her uncle stopped her sternly.

Yuan Zizhu's eyes widened with anger. "Don't mess around. We have experienced it ourselves and know how dangerous it is. We can't let you take risks again!"

His subordinates also echoed:

"That's right, King Fengling. A man would lose a lot of skin if he went in, let alone a girl like you."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes were solemn. "What are you going to do? If you fail to complete the mission of Zhou State, will they let you go back? Why don't you lead the Yuan family soldiers to rise up in rebellion and rebuild the Jingxiang area."

Yuan Zizhu let out a dull, bitter laugh from beneath the golden mask he was wearing:
"If I can bring the soldiers out, I won't have to worry. Zhou Guo only gave me 2,000 men in the first mansion, and kept the rest. They said that if I couldn't complete the task, couldn't drive away the cannibalistic Tanguts, and couldn't save the people, then they would split the Yuan family's mansion soldiers and assign them to other people."

"Ah? What Zhou Guo did was too ruthless!"

Yuan Zizhu sighed, and his brown eyes looked firmly at his niece who was sitting upright on a black horse in front of him, his eyes full of relief.

"I have my own way of handling my own affairs, so you don't have to worry. Just take care of yourself, and your uncle will be satisfied."

"How do you want to solve it? I'm not a child anymore. I can help you. That's why I'm here."

Seeing the anxious and determined look on the face of the little girl in front of him, Yuan Zizhu just found it funny and felt very relieved.

"Seeing my niece is so responsible and still wants to help uncle, uncle is satisfied. But I heard that Qi is also eyeing the land of Jingxiang. What will happen to Xinye if you leave?" Yuan Wuyou was speechless, and then said, "I left my confidant to guard the city. I know what to do."

"Go back. Your territory needs you to be in charge, but you are not needed here."

"But……"

"No!" The uncle was also very stubborn. After sternly ordering his niece to go back, he turned around and told one of his subordinates, "Get out of the line and send King Fengling back to Xinye. Go!"

Yuan Wuyou naturally didn't want to leave, and knowing that Yuan Zizhu would only respond to soft words and not hard words, she hesitated and complained to her uncle that he was too fierce and how could he let a girl like her go out with another man so late at night?
Yuan Zizhu thought it made sense, so he glared at the guard, which frightened the man so much that his eyes widened and cold sweat broke out. He bowed and clasped his fists, and when he expressed his loyalty to his prince and said that he dared not, his forehead was shining with beads of sweat.

The uncle and nephew were reluctant to part when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves not far away.

As soon as Yuan Wuyou heard the unique sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, she knew that Mi Qinlin had come looking for her. Before she could say anything, Yuan Zizhu, who was wearing a golden mask, also became alert and asked everyone to avoid the newcomer first.

Yuan Zizhu first pulled his niece behind him, then turned back and told his men to hide in the woods.

As a result, as soon as the horses ran away, his niece broke away from his team and ran into the woods first.

Yuan Zizhu was so anxious that he was about to call her, but he held it back and hurriedly urged his horse to follow.

When Yuan Zizhu and a few guards went into the woods, he found that his niece was missing.

Yuan Wuyou did not walk far away. Instead, he hugged the neck of the horse lying on the ground and hid behind a bush of dense boxwood.

She watched Yuan Zizhu and others search for her but couldn't find her and walk away. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and slowly stand up.

The next moment, Yuan Wuyou turned around, only to see a face and a mouthful of cold white teeth: "I caught you."

"Ah!!" Yuan Wuyou was startled and tripped by the black horse lying on the ground behind him and fell onto the horse's back.

The horse also cried out in pain.

When she looked carefully, she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Mi Qinlin.

Mi Qinlin reluctantly reached out his hand, grabbed her wrist guard and pulled her up, then quickly withdrew his hand after she stood firmly on her feet.

"Why are you running? You just want to go into the city. Can't I just take you to see the Khan?"

Unexpectedly, Mi Qinlin was so reasonable. Yuan Wuyou looked up in surprise and saw the Qiang man with a sullen face, pouting, looking angry and helpless, which was somewhat similar to Wan Yuwuyu.

Before, Yuan Wuyou might have been happy to go directly to meet Wan Yuwuyou with him, but she just heard from her uncle about the unknown situation in Rang County.

Yuan Wuyou concluded that Wan Yuwuyu would say one thing to her and another to others, and if she questioned him, he would definitely not tell her the truth.

So Yuan Wuyou thought about it for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.
"I have to go find my uncle. If Wan Yu Wu Yu finds out, my uncle will be in danger. If you still think that the friendship between me, the Lord of Huaxu, and your Khan will have a chance to reconcile in the future, then help me, and you will also be helping him."

She deliberately lied to go to her uncle, but there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, when Yuan Wuyou lied, he looked at the other person firmly, and was so sincere that Mi Qinlin could not help but believe it.
