Chapter 416 Paying Respects to My Father-in-Law

A few days later, Gao Yingxiang's army re-entered Shaanxi and advanced directly towards Xi'an. Sun Chuanting led a large force to confront Gao Yingxiang near Xi'an.

At this time, Wang Wenzhou was less than 20 li away from Gao Yingxiang. That morning, before he even got out of bed, Yu Tao and Li Lin led their bandits into his room.

Wang Wenzhou frowned and asked sharply, "Hey Yu, what the hell do you mean? We agreed that I would escort you to Gao Yingxiang's camp, and then you would let me go. What, you want to go back on your word?"

"Lord Wang, we are truly sorry, but we brothers have no choice but to accept this. After all, you have more than two thousand men surrounding us, so we have no choice but to ask you to personally escort us to see the King of Chuang. Lord Wang, rest assured, once you see the King of Chuang, we will definitely let you leave," Yu Tao said with a smile.

"You son of a bitch! Yu Tao, you despicable person!" Wang Wenzhou cursed.

"Lord Wang, please forgive me!" Yu Tao waved his hand and ordered, "Go!"

The bandits swarmed forward.

Wang Wenzhou struggled to say, "Hey, Yu, we've been together for so long, I'm begging you, just tie me up, don't tie up my baby!"

Yu Tao cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Rushi and Qi Siyan, and said with a smile, "Ladies, I'm really sorry, but we need to borrow Lord Wang for a while. Please rest assured, as long as you appease the men outside and tell them not to make any trouble, we will definitely not harm Lord Wang."

“Baby!” Wang Wenzhou said seriously, “You can’t trust him! If he ties me up and takes me to Gao Yingxiang, it’ll be like a lamb being led to the slaughter!”

Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile. Her nemesis was being irresponsible again. Gao Yingxiang was her father-in-law; would he kill her? Her little Lanlan was probably in Gao Yingxiang's army right now, waiting for her to come and reunite with her family!

"Husband! Don't worry, after I go out, I will lead a large army to wipe out these bandits!" Liu Rushi said in a serious tone.

"Holy crap!" Wang Wenzhou felt like crying. "Baby, stop it! I was just joking. If you keep doing this, things will get messed up!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tao's expression changed. If Liu Ru really went out and ordered a full-scale attack, none of their two hundred-plus men would be able to escape.

"Lord Wang, you have to think about yourself. Quickly persuade Madam, or we'll tie her up too!" Yu Tao said coldly.

"Tie me up! I want to see what this thief dares to do to me!" Liu Ru said disdainfully.

"Grandma! Please stop making a scene! That thief has no humanity! You're so beautiful, if you fall into his hands, you'll never be able to get out of bed!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile.

"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou, thinking, "You rascal, you never say a nice thing!"

"Ruru, stop making a scene! Listen to me!" Wang Wenzhou glanced at Yu Tao and said, "Brother Yu, please untie the ropes binding me first, and I'll try to persuade your wife!"

Yu Tao waved his hand, and the bandits helped Wang Wenzhou untie himself.

Wang Wenzhou embraced Liu Rushi and said tenderly, "Rushi, listen to me. I know you don't want to leave me. But I don't want you to take any risks! For the sake of our Liu Xiaohua, you must live on! Even if I never come back, you must raise Liu Xiaohua and make him a high-ranking official, make a lot of money, and sleep with a beautiful woman!"

"Yes! Don't worry, after you die, we will remarry and marry good men. Liu Xiaohua cannot be a child without a father. May my husband rest in peace!" The reason why Liu Rushi was so angry was all Wang Wenzhou's fault. Yesterday, Wang Wenzhou secretly sneaked into the women's guard unit and slept with two beautiful girls, and Liu Rushi found out.

"Sister Yan, let's go!" Liu Rushi pulled Qi Siyan and prepared to leave.

Yu Tao and Li Lin looked at Wang Wenzhou with bewilderment. "Lord Wang, have you finally settled things?" "The Madam is quite jealous; will she really order a full-scale attack once she gets out?"

Wang Wenzhou comforted him, "Brother Yu, don't worry, my baby would never hurt me. I've already convinced her. I deserve it; I can only exchange my life for theirs!"

"Lord Wang is too kind. How could we possibly harm you?" Yu Tao said somewhat awkwardly.

"Heh!" Wang Wenzhou sneered. You think I'm stupid? You've miscalculated. Yu Tao, you bastard, just wait until I see Gao Yingxiang, and I'll teach you a lesson!

"Lord Wang, you've been wronged!" Yu Tao waved his hand, and the bandits rushed forward and tied Wang Wenzhou up tightly.

Wang Wenzhou shrugged. "Yu Tao, you just wait!"

……

Twenty li is not a long distance, especially since Yu Tao and the others were all riding horses. Half an hour later, Yu Tao and Li Lin, along with two hundred brothers, escorted Wang Wenzhou to Gao Yingxiang's front line.

Because Yu Tao had sent a message beforehand, Gao Yingxiang personally led his subordinates to welcome Wang Wenzhou.

Yu Tao had met Gao Yingxiang once before, and he recognized him from afar. Yu Tao was thrilled; the rebel leader himself was welcoming him—his day of triumph had finally arrived! He hadn't expected the rebel leader to care so much about Wang Wenzhou. Yu Tao thought about it, and it made sense; Wang Wenzhou was, after all, an imperial envoy, the Northwest military supervisor, and a trusted minister of Emperor Chongzhen.

Yu Tao dismounted and knelt down, saying, "Yu Tao greets the Rebel King!"

Gao Yingxiang nodded and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Wang Wenzhou?"

Yu Tao quickly stood up, waved his hand behind him, and ordered, "Bring Wang Wenzhou here!"

Two bandits escorted Wang Wenzhou, who was bound hand and foot, over.

"Fuck you! Untie the ropes binding me right now! Lao Gao, I'm fucking your daughter! You're really disrespecting me!" Wang Wen walked around cursing!

Yu Tao's expression changed, and he shouted, "Shut up! Someone, slap him!"

"Hmph!" Gao Yingxiang snorted coldly, and his subordinate general Liu Zhe kicked Yu Tao to the ground.

Liu Zhe pointed at Yu Tao and cursed, "How dare you! Lord Wang, how dare you reprimand him?"

"Huh?" Yu Tao was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? This was unbelievable!

Liu Zhe quickly went over, pushed aside the bandits escorting Wang Wenzhou, and while untying the ropes binding Wang Wenzhou, said with a smile, "Lord Wang, please don't be angry. Yu Tao certainly doesn't know your identity!"

"Old Gao, I'm cursing my daughter!" Wang Wenzhou said, cursing.

"Alright!" Gao Yingxiang said with a wry smile, "Son-in-law, stop fooling around!"

"What?!" Yu Tao could hardly believe his ears. "King Chuang, what did you say? Your son-in-law? That mad dog Wang Wenzhou is your son-in-law? Holy crap! You're the leader of the rebel army, and Wang Wenzhou is a high-ranking official of the court. This is unbelievable!"

"Uncle!" Gao Guilan suddenly ran out from behind Gao Yingxiang and threw herself into Wang Wenzhou's arms.

"Good girl, Lanlan!" Wang Wenzhou kissed Gao Guilan.

"Holy crap!" Yu Tao's face turned pale with fright. He had met Gao Guilan before and knew she was Wang Wenzhou's baby. Now it seemed that Wang Wenzhou really was the son-in-law of the rebel king!

"Yu Tao! You scoundrel!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Yu Tao and cursed, "You went back on your word and tried to sell me out!"

"Lord Wang!" Yu Tao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Lord Wang, please forgive my mistake!"

Wang Wenzhou glanced at Gao Yingxiang and made a beheading gesture.
