A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 996 Returning to Lanling
On the other side, outside Bowang City, there was a camp of three armies.

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

It was clearly King Dangxiang who went out with two deputy generals, but only the leader of the Mi Qin tribe came back.

The Xiangyang governor, who had been waiting outside the camp, was holding a stack of azure blue letters in his hand. It was obvious that he was bringing the letters to the door to show them to the person who was supposed to return.

But at this time, the Xiangyang governor looked at the Tangut deputy general who had returned alone. Even when he approached, Yu Fei still stood there without moving a step, and only greeted Mi Qinlin with worried eyes:
"Why did you come back alone? Where is our young master? Where is King Dangxiang?"

Mi Qinlin sighed, "Prince Lanling insisted on taking the queen back to her fiefdom, so our king followed her."

"what?!"

The Xiangyang prefect clenched the stacks of letters in his hands so tightly that his teeth were about to break.

The content of the letter that the queen gave him was naturally to ask him to hold on to Jingxiang and form an alliance with the Dangxiang who occupied Bashu. She also promised the Dangxiang King the Huaxu Imperial City in the name of Feng Jixiao, and helped Tuoba Ningcong to become king and fight against the Northern Zhou.

Of course, there is another option to consider, that is, if the Dangxiang and Bailan join forces to invade Huaxu and prove the rebellion, Yu Fei, the governor of Xiangyang, can inherit the Huaxu orthodoxy and form an alliance with the Northern Zhou.

To show seriousness, Yuan Wuyou's seal is also on the letter.

As we all know, when the Western Wei empress retreated to Huaxu, her troops were divided into three parts. First, there were 10,000 "royal guards" in the Huaxu Imperial City, followed by Bailang in the northwest and Dangxiang in the northeast. Since the death of the empress and the disappearance of the crown prince, the imperial guards in the capital were broken up.

Therefore, the queen made preparations for both situations and was determined that she would not be able to return. She first used the Huaxu area to recruit the Dangxiang. If the Dangxiang usurped the throne, the Jingxiang area could be surrendered to the Northern Zhou.

However, the governor of Xiangyang did not show the second half of the letter. He only showed King Dangxiang the page in which the queen asked Xu Cheng to give him.

Unexpectedly, when King Dangxiang learned that the queen wanted to give Hua Xu to him, he was not surprised at all about the throne falling from heaven and the power being monopolized. He was just worried that she was writing a will, so he had to go find her, even putting himself out there.

At this time, the governor of Xiangyang was shocked to learn from his deputy general that the two incompetent kings had followed Lanling King. He thought to himself, how could the Dangxiang people be able to shoulder such a great responsibility with such a sentimental Khan? Didn't his young master, the Queen of Huaxu, choose the wrong heir?
But Mi Qinlin said that the Khan had instructed before leaving that according to the wishes of the female king, the eight Dangxiang tribes would support Huaxu and wait for the king to bring Huaxu back.

The words sounded nice, but the prefect of Xiangyang also discovered that not only had his young master arranged his funeral affairs before going to Shennongjia alone to rescue his brother, but King Dangxiang had also arranged everything before he left.

But this was also within the expectations of the Xiangyang prefect.

After all, how could the young Dangxiang King Tuoba Ningcong be simple? He had an uncertain fate for his beloved, his homeland was in chaos and without a master, and he led his people to recognize the enemy as their father and surrender to the enemy's young wolf lord.

Bei Zhou was the direct murderer of his mother!

Tuoba Ningcong endured humiliation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty for three years, but he was able to find time to conquer the eight tribes of Dangxiang and bring Rouran back to life! What kind of forbearance and endurance does it take, and how strong a heart is, to not be affected by the infamy and to stick to oneself stubbornly?

How could such an enemy monarch, a man with evil ambitions, be so infatuated? It was obvious that he just wanted both the country and the beautiful woman.

However, even Yu Fei had to admit that this Dangxiang King Tuoba Ningcong was extremely courageous. The fact that he risked his life and burned his boats to go to Qi to accompany the King of Huaxu was enough to show his deepest affection among the Xianbei.

The person who was completely opposite to him was the Zhou emperor Yuwen Huaibi, who was of the same clan as him and was the most ruthless Xianbei.

But let's put aside the deep affection and ruthlessness. Yu Fei, the governor of Xiangyang, looked at the deputy general Mi Qin in front of him and thought that he and this deputy general Mi Qin were also two unfortunate people who acted on behalf of the emperor and supervised the country.

Fortunately, these two emperors entrusted the important tasks to two people because of their trust.

It was also because the Dangxiang King knew that the Huaxu King had entrusted Huaxu to him, and he also wrote a letter with a stamp and asked the recipient to be a witness, so that he could be justified. The young Dangxiang King still chose to abandon his family and career, disregarding Huaxu, the eight tribes of the Dangxiang, and even disregarding his own safety to follow the female king...

From this moment on, the prefect of Xiangyang completely changed his opinion of King Dangxiang.

Regardless of whether he is suitable to be Empress Huaxu, at least he is not a concubine who brings disaster to the country. Instead, he is a romantic man who is infatuated with the queen.

……

According to the route on the Northern Qi territory map, you only need to follow Bowang City east of Nanyang, and walk in a straight line from east to west to get back to Lanling, which is very convenient.

During this period, you can pass through hub states and counties such as Xuchang, Nanyanzhou, and Xuzhou by land, and return to Lanling County in three or two days.

You can also take the water route, follow the Huai River to Huaizhou, then go north to Si Shui, or go directly to Lanling County.

However, Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong received a secret report from Yecheng, asking them to return to Yecheng to carry out the handover of military orders and the promotion and demotion of official positions.

Therefore, Gao Changgong had to take the seriously injured Yuan Wuyou and head north along the Yellow River in Luoyang to Yecheng.

It was not until midnight that they arrived at Rubei County at a slow pace.

When Yuan Wuyou woke up in a daze, he felt something shaking beneath him. He was tossing around without a clear place to land and suddenly woke up with a start!

She opened her eyes and realized she was in a carriage. She asked in panic where she was.

Gao Changgong, who had been guarding beside her, had originally rested his elbows on the low table next to him, with one hand supporting his chin, and suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes when he heard the sound, and smiled softly:
"On the way back to Lanling. But first we have to go to Yecheng to hand in the military token of the Central Army. I'm resigning as commander and returning to the countryside. We're going home."

Yuan Wuyou, lying on the couch, was angry and struggled to sit up, but the ghost-faced man in crimson military uniform waved his hand and pushed her back. "Do you want to take me away by force, after getting my consent?"

She didn't care about handing over the military token. Her first reaction was to ask why he kidnapped her. Gao Changgong felt sad for a moment, then said calmly and sincerely:
"You were unconscious before, how could I ask? Zhou Guo could have hurt you like this, I don't want you to be taken away by them, not to mention that you are my wife, I will wait for you to recover and get married."

"A defeated general is nothing but a bastard? Do you want to have sex with me without a matchmaker?"

"I will definitely not let you down. I will write a marriage proposal tonight and send it to Grandmother Yuan, and invite everyone to Lanling to witness our marriage."

After a pause, Gao Changgong said with a gentle and affectionate look on his handsome face:

"You are my wife, and you said you wanted to see me marry you with my head covered. I also want the people of Lanling County to see my Xuannv wife. Don't you want to marry me?"

The man raised his long eyelashes, his pair of black and bright eyes smiled, and he was blatantly using his face and words to seduce her.

In addition, his handsome face, which was as white as glutinous rice dough, was now full of affection with his sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His fleshy and dull eyelids were red, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at her with the most gentle smile. No matter how angry she was, he would coax her and comfort her. He really had a good temper.

Moreover, as a handsome general, he knew that his beauty was not enough to deter the enemy, so he usually wore a ghost mask when he went out. He hated it most when others just treated him as a vase or an embroidered pillow. He even used his beauty and face to please and seduce his beloved intentionally or unintentionally in front of her. He was in love to the point of losing himself.

But Yuan Wuyou still had doubts.

"You're suddenly so gentle, I'm not used to it. Are you trying to trick me into coming here with your beauty so that you can imprison me?"

"How dare I? The tens of thousands of Tangut troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty couldn't trap you. Wherever you want to go, who dares to stop you?" After Gao Changgong's rebuttal, his dark eyes drooped slightly, revealing his grievance.

"You don't want to marry me anymore, do you? Are you going to abandon Gao Changgong, my queen?"

Yuan Wuyou looked at Gao Changgong's honest and simple character and thought he didn't seem like someone who could bully her.

Just because Gao Changgong had such a handsome face and looked like a virtuous husband, Yuan Wuyou couldn't even get angry.

"No, of course I want to marry you. You are the only one in the world who is suitable for me to marry. I fell in love with you at first sight when I was a child, and I came to keep the appointment as soon as I became an adult."

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, smiling at her words, Yuan Wuyou sighed. "I'm really screwed. You are my sweet home."

"how you said that?"

"Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a steel knife that scrapes the bones, but you are obviously a handsome general who is feared by all. How come you have become the land of tenderness that I am willing to plunge into..."

Gao Changgong narrowed his eyes slightly, curled his lips and smiled softly, "I feel the same way."

Forget it, since he said this much, and used sweet words and seductive sex, Yuan Wuyou endured it for the time being, thinking that after his injuries were healed, he could leave or stay as he pleased.

Just then, someone suddenly jumped onto the outside carriage, causing a familiar voice to exclaim, "Hey! Where are you going!"

Then there was a cool voice, anxiously asking: "Young Master, are you awake?"

Yuan Wuyou was stunned. These two voices were too familiar.

Then someone lifted the door curtain and revealed a face.

The young man had stern features and short hair that reached his cheeks. His deep blue eyes appeared deep and dark in the night as he stared straight at Yuan Wuyou, with no one else in his eyes.

Yuan Wuyou was surprised and happy at the same time: "Wan Yuwu Yu? Why are you here?" As he said that, he slowly sat up and stretched out his hand to him.

Because of this movement, the injuries on his waist and legs were stretched, and Yuan Wuyou grimaced in pain.

Gao Changgong hurriedly helped the girl sit up, and considerately put a soft pillow behind her waist and helped her lean against the wall.

Wan Yuwuyou walked into the carriage, and Yuan Wuyou saw that he was wearing a crimson Qi military uniform. His usually curly hair and long braid were now loose.

A long earring with a gold ring and red tassel hung out from the loose hair on his temples.

Afterwards, Wan Yuwuyou entered the carriage and sat against the wall on the left and right of Lanling King.

The tall and thin young man in a red shirt stared with his bright dark eyes, and first turned his head to glance at Lanling King with a handsome and gloomy face.

Wan Yuwuyu then said carefully to the girl sitting on the couch:

"I was worried about you. Fortunately, Lanling Wang was generous and allowed me to follow you and be your servant."

"You came here just like that? You didn't agree to any excessive conditions from them, did you?"

A chapter skipped to prove that the book is not finished yet. After all, the cat is a habitual eunuch.

Just to be honest, I have 1000 manuscripts in my account.
