Chapter 1213

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

She hurriedly got off the carriage and asked in confusion.

"Gao Changwen, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Gao Changwen used his hands to pinch the flesh on his body hard, roaring inwardly: Cry, cry for me quickly!

After Shangguan Wan'er caught up, Gao Gao Changwen's eyes were full of tears, rolling down his cheeks.

These tears were definitely not faked; Shangguan Wan'er could be almost certain.

Gao Gao Changwen shook off Shangguan Wan'er's hand and said angrily, "Brother rejected the Lu family miss for Lady Shangguan, and during this time, he hasn't even touched Mu Mu Xue Yao, whom the Zhao Kingdom's eldest prince sent to the residence, yet Lady Shangguan even went back on the hot spring bath she promised."

"Lady Shangguan, I, Gao Gao Changwen, misjudged you."

His words left Shangguan Wan'er stunned.

"Rejected the Lu family miss?"

"And didn't touch Mu Mu Xue Yao?"

Gao Gao Changwen sneered, "Lady Shangguan doesn't know, but for Brother, Miss Lu volunteered to join the army and then made a sincere confession, but Brother, for Lady Shangguan…"

Gao Gao Changwen fired on all cylinders, denouncing Shangguan Wan'er.

An incense stick later.

Gao Gao Changwen left angrily.

Leaving Shangguan Wan'er alone, a bleak autumn wind blew, making her feel a bit messy.

"…"

The next day.

Gao Yang woke up feeling refreshed.

It was already late in the morning.

He washed up simply, ate a few bites, and headed to the Left Guard camp.

Today, the Ministry of War would send more Xiongnu, and Da Qian soldiers who had mined, especially those from remote areas, would also be sent to the Left Guard camp for him to select.

Outside the residence.

Beside the carriage, the guards of the Duke Ding Residence stood straight, looking murderous.

As soon as Gao Yang got on the carriage, he saw Gao Tianlong looking calm.

However, Gao Tianlong's face was very unhappy, just like Lu Zhen's yesterday.

"Grandson greets Grandfather."

Gao Yang greeted him first.

Gao Tianlong nodded indifferently and said, "Let's go. I'll go to the military camp with you and see just how powerful these mining soldiers you praise are!"

"Yes!"

Gao Yang was full of confidence about this.

There were many tiger and wolf troops in the world, but in terms of the strongest elites with the highest potential, Gao Yang still felt that mining soldiers were the strongest!

And the more remote the place, the more fierce they were, and the higher their combat effectiveness!

Today, under his unique screening, these mining soldiers would also reveal their true colors for the first time!

The carriage followed Zhu Que Street and left Changan city.

Soon, Gao Yang and Gao Tianlong arrived at the Left Guard camp. When Gao Tianlong stepped into the camp, he keenly noticed that the soldiers' eyes had changed.

They all looked at where he was, or more accurately, looked with extremely hot eyes at the person beside him—Gao Yang!

"Greetings, Duke Ding!"

"Greetings, Piao Yao Captain!"

The soldiers first saluted Gao Tianlong, then saluted Gao Yang.

The sound wave after sound wave echoed through the sky.

What made Gao Tianlong's mouth twitch was that the cheers for Gao Yang were actually more heated and louder than his own!

Gao Tianlong sighed with emotion inwardly.

"Is this the power of 'money power'?"

"Sure enough, it's perverted enough!"

Soon.

The soldiers gathered on the field, besides Zhao Bushi and the others Gao Yang selected yesterday, there were more Xiongnu and more Da Qian soldiers today.

Unlike yesterday, the eyes of these Da Qian soldiers were extremely hot.

Overnight, the news of Gao Yang selecting personal guards and the benefits of the guards had spread throughout all the major military camps in Changan, making countless people envious.

Gao Yang was just about to select people.

A sharp eunuch's voice rang out.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

In the distance, Wu Zhao sat on the dragon carriage, arriving at the drill field with a noble expression.

In an instant.

Everyone saluted together.

For the ordinary soldiers, their eyes were full of fanaticism.

The Son of Heaven arriving in person—what kind of glory was this?

The smarter ones vaguely guessed why Wu Zhao had come, so they all looked at Gao Yang with excitement.

Zhao Bushi and Pua clenched their fists even tighter.

Da Qian and the Xiongnu had long-standing grievances. If they didn't earn merit, that was one thing, but if they did, given Gao Yang's status and Wu Zhao's importance, it would be… a true change of destiny!

After simple pleasantries, Wu Zhao walked onto the command platform.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Gao Yang stepped forward and asked Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao glanced at him, her cold and noble red lips opening slightly. "Lord Gao spoke wildly yesterday; I've come to back you up."

After speaking, Wu Zhao walked to the very front of the command platform.

Clearly, she was going to give a speech to inspire people again and also to support Gao Yang.

Gao Yang felt a warmth in his heart.

Wu Zhao, an emperor, could do this much, which made him feel guilty; he shouldn't have closed his eyes last night and treated Mu Mu Xue Yao as Wu Zhao.

Alas!

My conscience can't take it!

Gao Yang was condemning his already scarce conscience when Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said.

"Lord Gao, I know about you and Mu Mu Xue Yao."

Her eyes moved; she didn't expect she had wronged Gao Yang.

"Wan'er, you know about this?"

He thought of last night, but this news couldn't have leaked so fast, could it?

Isn't this ruined?

When in doubt, apologize first!

But before Gao Yang could speak, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Lord Gao, you did very well."

Hum.

Gao Yang was directly stunned.

Very well?

Something is wrong.

Something is one hundred percent wrong.

"Wan'er, what does this mean?"

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes at Gao Yang upon hearing this.

"Rejecting the Lu family miss, treating Mu Mu Xue Yao in the residence like a flood or a beast, not even touching her, playing around, listening to music in brothels—it turns out these were all just your disguises."

"Gao Yang, what is there to hide from me?"

Hmm?

This was even more wrong.

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Gao Yang, her beautiful face glowing in the golden sunlight, blushing, perfect to the point of transparency. She stood straight, lowered her voice, and tried as much as possible to act as if nothing had happened. "Tomorrow at the hour of the Rooster, you and I will go to the hot spring together, soaking in the same pool, and we must not break our promise!"
