A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 995 Willing to be a Servant
The next morning.

Just when the Qi army stationed in Bowang City began to move out of camp, a messenger came to report that the Dangxiang Khan Tuoba Ningcong led three armies of the eight Dangxiang tribes, Bailang and Xiangyang troops, and were approaching Bowang City together.

Gao Changgong came forward and asked King Dangxiang what he wanted to do.
The Dangxiang King Tuoba Ningcong was very courageous. He only brought a deputy general with him and met him at the foot of the city.

At the gate of Bowang City.

As a result, Wan Yuwu looked across and saw a man in a red shirt sitting on a two-wheeler next to Lanling King who was wearing golden armor and a ghost mask. It was King Ande who was supposed to leave.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Wan Yuwu asked directly:

"Didn't King Ande return home injured? Why is he back again?"

Gao Yanzong rested his arms comfortably on the armrests, looking relaxed, his eyes and tone lazy as he said:
"Didn't you see that Da Qi had withdrawn its troops? My fourth brother has already laid down his arms and handed over his military power. He is going to take his fourth sister-in-law back to his hometown to get married. Our two brothers' fiefs are next to each other, so it's just right for us."

Upon hearing this, Gao Changgong, who was standing next to him, felt very proud and did not refute.

Wan Yuwuyu was not interested in the fox's words. He had not forgotten the purpose of his trip. He then opened his mouth and wanted to take Huaxu King Yuan Wuyou away.

Naturally, the people of Qi State refused.

King Ande even mocked him, "Are you deaf? I told my fourth brother that he wanted to take his fourth sister-in-law back to get married, but you took her away. What would my fourth brother marry?"

Gao Changgong also said:
"She is seriously injured. I will do my best to heal her and take good care of her. Besides, the Han people understand the sentiment of returning to their roots the most. How can a Hu person like you take care of others?"

Wan Yu Wu Yu said stubbornly: "She never told me that she agreed to marry Lanling King. Are you trying to force her to marry me? I will never allow it! Unless I see her agree to it in person."

"Will it work if you agree? Do you want to see her agree in person? Then come here and be her servant."

Upon hearing the sarcastic words from King Ande on the two-wheeled cart, Deputy General Mi Qin, who was standing beside him, quickly rebuked him:

"Your Majesty! This is ridiculous!"

The young Dangxiang King, who was hesitating with his head down, suddenly raised his eyes upon hearing this and said firmly: "Okay. I will go with Lanling King and be his servant."

When King Dangxiang said this, not only were the Gao brothers in Qi State on the opposite side shocked, but even the soldiers on both sides who were close to them were stunned.

It was really a joke that King Ande asked him to come and be his servant, but King Dangxiang actually dared to cooperate with him! ?

Mi Qinlin, the deputy general beside King Dangxiang, was so scared that he hurriedly used his hands and feet to call out to him, trying to stop his Khan from doing anything stupid, but he was ignored.

Fortunately, King Lanling of Qi also found it absurd.

Gao Changgong immediately shook his head: "You are the King of Dangxiang. What does it mean for you to return to Qi with me? Is it considered a dowry? Then what about your territory and tribe?"

Gao Yanzong also laughed sarcastically, "King Dangxiang, what is your status in following her? Unrequited love has a limit. We only heard that you are an ungrateful person who betrayed Huaxu. I'm afraid she doesn't want to see you."

Upon hearing his brother say this, Gao Changgong whispered:

"He likes..."

"Tsk!" Gao Yanzong hurriedly frowned and interrupted his brother, using his eyes to stop him, "Shut up!"

Then he turned his head and continued to glance at the Dangxiang King in front of him with contempt with his brown peach eyes.

The young Dang Xiang Wang opposite said calmly:
"I am in love with her."

Before he finished speaking, King Ande asked him sternly, "You have no evidence. How come we haven't heard that she had an affair with you? You are nothing! Don't flatter yourself just because she's not here."

At this moment, Wan Yuwu felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. He realized that, yes, his relationship with Yuan Wuyou was all private and had never been announced to anyone. He didn't even have the qualifications to openly like her...

Seeing his own King Dangxiang being humiliated in this way, Mi Qinlin could no longer tolerate it. He quit his job on the spot and angrily pointed at King Ande and cursed him!
——But he was stopped by Wan Yuwuyu, who ordered him to go back first and not disturb his negotiations. If he left with Yuan Wuyou, he would act as the King of Dangxiang on his behalf.

Wan Yuwuyu, the Dangxiang King, was elected based on his own strength. He had absolute control over the eight Dangxiang tribes and his word was final. Even though Mi Qinlin was worried about him, he could not change his decision and left with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that the young Dang Xiang Wang and Yuan Wuyou were clearly of no fame or substance, but were infatuated with each other and were willing to risk their lives to be each other's servants, and to go deep into the enemy's territory alone and feed the tiger with their own bodies, Gao Changgong naturally admired and respected him.

Gao Changgong couldn't bear it and couldn't help but stop his brother from continuing to be aggressive: "Enough! Stop making trouble, and keep saying the same thing. Please ask King Dangxiang to go back."

After saying this, he asked someone to push King Ande's two-wheeled cart back to the city, and he turned around and left.

Wan Yuwuyu rushed over quickly and insisted on following the two into the city to see how the queen was injured.

King Ande and Wan Yuwuyu have a deep hatred for each other. When enemies meet, their eyes turn red, so naturally they are unwilling to let him follow.

The Dangxiang King was also very confident: "I came to protect her on behalf of Huaxu. Unlike you, you did not allow her trusted family members to follow you because of personal grudges. It can be seen that you are selfish and do not love her."

Upon hearing this, Gao Changgong also felt that what King Dangxiang said made sense, so he turned his head and glared at his brother, "Putting aside the grudge between the two of you, the Dangxiang are indeed Huaxu's family, can't you talk to the King Dangxiang properly?"

Gao Yanzong snorted, "Then let's not talk about it."

Fortunately, Gao Changgong was soft-hearted. Seeing that King Dangxiang himself had no status and was willing to risk his life for love and become a slave, he felt sorry for him and felt sorry for his infatuation.

Gao Yanzong, on the other hand, had always been on guard against Wan Yuwu, and at this moment he asked bluntly, "Have you two ever had sex?"

"Ah?" Wan Yuwu Yu was stunned by the male fox's question.

It's not that he didn't understand Gao Yanzong's metaphor. After all, what serious words could a male fox say? Wan Yuwuyu just didn't understand the extent of his "is there?"

After all, except for the last step...

Gao Yanzong saw that the young Dangxiang King looked confused and ignorant, so he knew what was going on and asked directly, "Are you still a novice?"

Brother Gao Si, who was standing next to them, was dumbfounded and thought to himself, how dare you two say such things in public?

Gao Changgong subconsciously looked around and saw several people standing at the city gate talking about these things. Not only were there guards around them, but there were also guards at the gate.

The guards at the city gate, who had not dared to eavesdrop, turned their heads to look at the few people when they heard King Ande talking to King Dangxiang.

Seeing this, Gao Changgong felt even more embarrassed. The cold metal ghost mask was burning his face.

Wan Yuwuyu also felt as embarrassed as Gao Changgong.

Upon hearing this, the young Dangxiang King's eyes darkened and he pursed his lips, finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing that the boy didn't say anything, but only blushed, Gao Yanzong's heart sank. Could it be that the two of them had already done it? He immediately waved his hand, "Not anymore, right? Then get out of here. I can't tolerate a love rival around me."

"No, no!" Upon hearing that Gao Yanzong was going to chase him away, Wan Yuwuyu was no longer embarrassed and quickly spoke out to refute and prove himself.

"I still, she and I are innocent..."

As he said this, the boy's deep blue eyes suddenly became moist, and his cheeks and ears turned red.

At this moment, Gao Changgong finally understood what it meant to "feel pity for someone".

As expected, this young boy is lovable. Seeing King Dangxiang's face full of humiliation and his stubbornness for the sake of his beloved, Gao Changgong felt sorry for him, not to mention Yuan Wuyou.

Finally, the Gao brothers gave in and said that if King Dangxiang wanted to come along as a dowry, there were three conditions.

First: He can only follow alone.

Second: To prevent him from seducing the queen, since he claims to be innocent with her, verify whether he is true or not. Or drink a pound of cotton seeds.

Third: While she is recuperating in Qi, no one from the Dangxiang is allowed to set foot in Qi.

Wan Yuwuyu readily agreed to the first one, but when it came to the second one, he wondered how to test it? But when Gao Yanzong said that he was going to find a woman to test him, whether it was or not, it would be considered as having an affair with someone else, which would naturally make Yuan Wuyou give up.

Hearing this, Wan Yuwuyu instantly frowned and glared, and said with a murderous look in his eyes that he would never agree to it.

Even Lanling Wang tried to dissuade him, complaining that his brother's method was too inhumane.

But King Ande then came up with another trick, saying that there was a second best solution, which was to make him drink half a pound of cotton seeds. He had to drink until he was poisoned and obviously couldn't lift his body.

Upon hearing this, Gao Changgong immediately refuted his brother:
"You are too mean, aren't you? I just said you were inhumane, but you made him inhumane, right? We are all men, why should men embarrass men?"

Gao Yanzong crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Just because he is also a man and covets your wife, you like the same person and dare to keep him by your side. Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of the female king's half-paralysis and powerlessness to resist and rape her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Changgong's eyes widened and he shut his mouth.

The young Dang Xiang Wang immediately retorted: "No! I will never offend her! After so many years... You can ask her how I treated her..."

Gao Changgong sighed, "Fifth brother, you take care of the arrangements."

After saying this, Prince Lanling turned around and left, leaving the matter to Prince Ande.

Gao Yanzong naturally insisted on his own conditions.

The male fox ordered him to drink cotton seeds. Wan Yuwu hesitated. He didn't want to be infertile. Whether he could have a child with her was secondary. He was afraid that he would be impotent in the future and be disliked by her.

Obviously he hasn't been with her yet... Whenever Wan Yuwuyu thought of going with her to Lanling King, he would recall his memories in Yongxiang and living under someone else's roof in Huaxu. He didn't want to recall those depressing and painful memories at all, and felt extremely disgusted and resistant.

However, his worry about Yuan Wuyou overcame his fear. When it came to her, Wan Yuwu had no choice but to be afraid.

Wan Yuwu was afraid that once she went to Lanling King, she would never come back, and that he would never see her again...

Therefore, living under someone else's roof and suffering injustice with her, or fighting to the death with one's own strength to rescue her, is much better than never seeing her again and dying with regret.

Wan Yuwuyu had already made up his mind to die and become a slave to accompany her in her "marriage far away" so that she could experience firsthand whether Prince Lanling of Northern Qi would bully her or let her down.

But after Wan Yuwu Yu made his concerns public, Gao Yanzong immediately mocked Wan Yuwu Yu, saying that he was trying to prevent him from letting the queen have a child or having a child himself, and that he was not worthy of defiling her belly.

At this time, King Lanling had already turned around and entered the city, leaving King Ande and King Dangxiang, who were riding on a two-wheeled cart, in a stalemate at the city gate.

Looking at the Qi soldiers guarding the city gate, Wan Yuwu's beloved girl was just across the wall. He was anxious and eager to go home. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and said in a trembling voice:

"I promise, drink that stuff."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Yanzong, who was sitting on the two-wheeled vehicle and had originally looked arrogant and indifferent, suddenly widened his peach blossom eyes.

Gao Yanzong had never thought that this ungrateful person would love Yuan Wuyou to this extent? He was willing to sacrifice his basic functions and dignity as a man just to be with her?
However, this was exactly what Gao Yanzong wanted.

He felt no guilt and was even secretly delighted. Besides his desire for revenge being satisfied, the main reason was that once this wolf cub Dangxiang King drank the cotton seeds, he would no longer be able to be humane. In this way, no matter how much he loved Yuan Wuyou, it would only be at the emotional level and they could not be husband and wife. Gao Yanzong would just treat Yuan Wuyou as having a sister.

Even if the medicine was not effective, King Dangxiang could still be humane, but after drinking cotton seeds, it was like a woman eating musk and safflower, and his body foundation was ruined. It was highly likely that he would be infertile, and it would also affect that aspect.

Afterwards, Gao Yanzong asked his subordinates to go into the city and fetch a bag of cotton seeds right at the city gate. He also handed him a water bag and a small silver bowl, and asked Wan Yuwu to drink the cotton seeds on the spot outside the city.

He also said that he would be allowed to enter the city only after he finished drinking the half pound of cotton seeds.

Wan Yuwuyu finally drank the cotton seeds.

Because of the tight time and rough tea set, the unsoaked dry cotton seeds were bitter and choking, sticking to his throat and making it itchy. His hair stood on end and it was too hard to swallow.

Even if the cotton seeds finally slide down the throat and into the stomach, they will still make people feel nauseous due to the strong foreign body sensation.

At that time, the Dangxiang King Tuoba Ningcong, wearing silver-white rhinoceros leather armor, black clothes and a horsetail, stood upright in front of King Ande who was sitting on a two-wheeler.

His tall, thin and slender figure looked even more majestic in front of Gao Yanzong who was sitting in a wheelbarrow. The two of them, one standing and the other sitting, were neither humble nor arrogant, and neither of them disliked the other.

Wan Yuwu held in his hand a small silver bowl that he had taken off the leather water bag. He almost spit out the cotton seeds in the bowl with every sip, but he still had a cold look in his eyes and forced himself to continue drinking.

In the end, Gao Changgong, who had arranged the withdrawal of troops, turned back.

When Gao Changgong came back, he saw the two men still in a stalemate at the door. The young Dangxiang King, who was standing in front of his brother, was drinking cotton seed soaked water under the surveillance of several pairs of eyes.

It seemed as if he had been poisoned to the point that his lips had turned purple.

Gao Changgong couldn't bear to watch the young Dangxiang King's face turn frighteningly pale, and quickly reached out to grab the silver bowl from his hand.

"It's too harmful to your health. Stop! Don't drink it."

But the young man stubbornly tilted his shoulders and dodged the hand of the ghost-faced general who was trying to snatch the silver bowl, still looking at him with cold and cruel eyes.

"Let me go into the city and take a look at Yuan Wuyou, then I'll continue drinking."

Gao Changgong was deeply impressed by the fact that Dangxiang Khan was willing to go to such lengths for the female ruler, disregarding his health and life.

It turns out that he is not the only one in the world who is sincere to her, even he is at the bottom of the list.

Afterwards, Gao Changgong saw that the young man suddenly felt weak and could not stand steadily, his eyelashes fluttering and he looked drowsy, so he hurried over to help him!
"Are you poisoned? Quick!"

Gao Changgong stretched his neck anxiously, turned his head and called for help, shouting at his confidants around him - "Quickly call the military doctor to help King Dangxiang induce vomiting!!"

……

The fact that King Dangxiang abandoned his family and career, and even disregarded his own life, and insisted on coming to Qi to follow the queen shocked both Qi and Zhou.

Lanling Wang also asked him, "Do you really love a girl so much? Are you not afraid of being scolded by the Tangut tribe?"

The young Dangxiang King simply replied: "I would like to be King You of Zhou, to lose my country for a smile, and to value beauty over the country."

Lanling Wang said at the time that what he did was not like King You of Zhou who set fire to the beacon towers to trick the princes, but more like King Zhou of Shang who burned the sky in the Deer Tower for Daji.

Wan Yuwu Yu disagreed and said that although she was not a fox, he was willing to die for her.

Finished!
