A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 972: Attack on the Ferry
Between Jingxiang and Houliang were the Qinling Mountains and Jiangling.

Yuan Wuyou took Li Mingjian all the way to the west of Rang County. In the name of the governor of Xiangyang, he launched an operation to block the river in Jingxiang, prohibiting anyone from crossing the river by boat from that moment on.

Just before the enemy almost escaped from Jingxiang, they intercepted the group of Southern Chen people who were trying to snatch Li Ming's imperial seal.

When the robbers were caught, the group of people with Jiangling accents were about to cross the ferry from Rang County to Jiangling, and they almost let them escape!
When Yuan Wuyou rode over on horseback and met this group of "Southern Chen assassins", she found that she knew the leader, who was Du Juan, who had shared hardships with her in the "Asura Road", and was the sister of Chen Shubao, the crown prince of the Southern Chen.

At this time, the two of them tacitly understood each other and neither of them mentioned the matter of Rang County, nor did they show that they knew each other. Yuan Wuyou even fought side by side with Li Mingjian and successfully snatched the jade seal from Du Juan, and then let the people of Southern Chen go.

Afterwards, Yuan Wuyou chartered a private boat with a good reputation in the name of the government and hurriedly sent Li Mingjian on board.

He also handed him the purse he carried with him, which contained a piece of gold, enough for him to travel back to the Shiwan Mountains.

Before leaving, even in an emergency, Li Mingjian felt that he should say goodbye to his sister. He asked the boatman to wait, and he said goodbye to his sister in armor on the shore, his eyes reluctant to leave.

But what Li Mingjian was reluctant to leave was not his hometown in the Central Plains, but the girl in front of him. She was his last relative in this world besides his father.

Yuan Wuyou did not forget the promise he made to his brother. He comforted him by saying that they would not be separated forever. He also asked him to leave his address and tell him which mountain or village he lived in so that he could go find him.

Li Mingjian naturally wanted to come back, but he knew best how difficult it was for him to leave the Shiwan Mountains.

"I know it's useless to persuade you not to come to me. If I don't tell you, you might just be like a headless fly and plunge headfirst into the man-eating mountains..."

The younger sister said calmly, "So you'd better tell me the truth. Where did you come from? How could you not know where you came from?"

He said helplessly: "I came from...Southeast Guizhou, Moon Mountain. If you want to find me, just ask an old lady in the Miao village where the main village is. It's best not to ask men or children for directions."

"Why?"

Li Ming saw the gloomy look in his eyes and said seriously, "Because some of them are bad-hearted kids. Once they hear you are from another place, they will take you to their homes and make you a slave or sell you. I am even more afraid that a Miao man will take a fancy to you and plant a love poison in you. I am afraid that before you can see me, you will be kidnapped by a Black Miao man and poisoned to become his wife."

Yuan Wuyou was frightened by him. Even though the scorching sun was just setting above her head and her body was warm, she still felt a chill down her spine.

"You are trying to scare me on purpose, right? Isn't it said that Miao areas are mostly mother-dominated areas? The men should be the ones to suffer, right? If I find a Miao girl, won't they sell me out?"

Not daring to look into his sister's panicked and indignant eyes, Li Ming lowered his slender long eyelashes and said helplessly,
"Because you are the mother, you find a woman to lead the way. At least they will treat you better because you are a girl. But in the eyes of Miao men, although they are of low status and are like slaves, they also think that outsiders are slaves who are even more despicable than them."

Having said that, Li Mingjian suddenly raised his eyelashes, and his reddish brown eyes stared straight at the girl in front of him.

His sister was wearing golden armor, with her ponytail tied high, full of heroic spirit. She was truly royal and noble, like a tiger general. But Li Ming saw clearly that she could use her fists to gain power in the Central Plains, but if she fell into the southern border, she might be the most dangerous because of her upright character.

"If you come to Moon Mountain, you can say that you are here to see the priest or the Gu King. Those people will be afraid that you are the guest of the Gu King and the priest, so they won't dare to do anything to you. Anyway, in the end, those outsiders... are all received by me."

The young man's tone was calm and calm, but Yuan Wuyou could hear a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice, as if he had fallen into prostitution.

So my sister's amber eyes widened and she said firmly:
"Moon Mountain, I remember it."

No matter how much more I say, it will be meaningless.

Li Ming looked at the girl's red eyes, which became more and more fiery and persistent. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled meaningfully. "Daibi, Brother Wa..."

Yuan Wuyou looked confused: "What do you mean?"

“It’s Miao.”

"Tsk." The pretty and heroic sister frowned, "Of course I know it's Miao language, I want to ask what this Chinese word means."

"Farewell words."

After saying that, the young man sighed, and with the corner of his eye he saw that around the two of them there was already a group of Xiangyang soldiers standing ready for battle, but no one was smart enough to rush them.

Li Ming saw this and waved his hand in a relaxed tone, "No need to see me off."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a sloop that was anchored nearby.

Yuan Wuyou followed closely behind, and just as he took a step, a strong wind suddenly blew past his ear!
She dodged it quickly by tilting her head, and then she saw a sharp feather arrow, "clang!" It hit the wooden door at the head of the bed in front of her!
At the same time, someone behind him exclaimed, "There are Zhou assassins!"

The brother and sister turned back at the same time, and saw that there were originally few people at the ferry, and suddenly a dozen black-robed Zhou soldiers on horseback rushed over! Each of them was agile and had a longbow in his arm.

Oh no, Zhou Jun had been chasing after them and had even caught up with them? !

But Yuan Wuyou had no time to be surprised, because this group of people were well-trained and had a clear purpose. They started to deal with the Xiangyang soldiers who rushed over while shooting arrows at the brother and sister!

The ferry was in chaos at this time.

As soon as the Zhou assassin showed up, he was going to shoot King Fengling and Master Li! The Xiangyang soldiers who were originally protecting King Fengling also rushed to capture the Zhou assassin.

When the two groups started fighting, the boatman at the ferry and the passers-by were all frightened and ran away in panic.

In the chaos, she saw another arrow with a shining silver arrowhead fly past Yuan Wuyou and shoot towards Li Mingjian beside her! Only then did she realize that this group of people wanted to kill him!
This was even more excessive than wanting to kill Yuan Wuyou. Because she was conceited that no one could kill her, but Li Mingjian was different. Her brother was weak and delicate, and he had been raised in southern Xinjiang since he was a child. How could he have seen the open and secret attacks of the Northern Dynasty?
Yuan Wuyou had already drawn his sword, and now he quickly swung the sword to cut off the feather arrow, then took a step back, leaning against his brother who was also holding a sharp blade.

Just as she was about to stand firm, a knife-wielding assassin suddenly jumped out from the crowd in front of her!

He also came here to see Li Ming.

Yuan Wuyou quickly held his brother behind him with one hand and faced the enemy with his sword.

——At the same time, several cold arrows shot at the two of them from all directions!
These Zhou people are very good at coordinating efforts from far and near and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!
The brother and sister then worked in tacit understanding, one chopped the nearby assassin, and the other chopped the flying arrows.

Even though Yuan Wuyou was prepared, she still underestimated the power of these hidden weapons! Even though she swung her sword very quickly, she still missed one.

The arrowhead hit Yuan Wuyou's shoulder armor unexpectedly and heavily. It was so sharp that it penetrated the shoulder armor and pierced Yuan Wuyou's left shoulder.

Her left arm drooped in pain, and a look of pain flashed across her pale face. Yuan Wuyou then quickly raised her left arm and fiercely pulled out the arrowhead from her shoulder, throwing it heavily to the ground.
