Chapter 1361: Targeting the layout for Zhao Kingdom, preparing for the harvest!

"It has been months, and Lord Gao's face has only grown thicker. Even the city walls of Changancheng would have to bow down before it."

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Gao Yang, who wore an expression of great righteousness, and finally could not help but speak.

These words were too shameless.

It was likely that apart from Gao Yang, no one in the entire Da Qian could utter such shameless words.

Hearing this merciless mockery, Gao Yang's old face flushed slightly.

He could not help but take a few extra looks at Shangguan Wan'er, but she slightly puffed out her chest and met his gaze.

He must find a time to thoroughly handle Shangguan Wan'er and restore the dignity of a husband.

Gao Yang secretly made up his mind.

Pfft.

Wu Zhao could not help but laugh out loud. Her flawless face suddenly bloomed in the Imperial Garden, where a hundred flowers were competing for beauty.

For a moment, Gao Yang was stunned.

"Enough, Minister Gao. What kind of person you are, Wan'er knows clearly in her heart, and I know it clearly in mine."

"There is no need to speak these hypocritical words before me and Wan'er."

Gao Yang spread his hands and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding."

Wu Zhao did not respond, but instead said, "Minister Gao, this time I have enfeoffed you as a Marquis and promoted you to Chancellor of Da Qian; it will surely cause criticism in the court."

"This time, many eyes will be fixed on you, and on me. Your actions also concern my reputation. Do you know what I mean?"

When Wu Zhao said this, her pair of majestic phoenix eyes stared tightly at Gao Yang, their meaning obscure.

Gao Yang heard the subtext, so he tentatively asked, "Your Majesty... are you referring to establishing authority?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes, and her voice followed, "As the Chancellor of Da Qian, the entire Da Qian is watching you. I hope... you can hand in a report card that satisfies me and shocks the world!"

"Now, the time is about right."

Gao Yang had only been guessing before, but after hearing these words from Wu Zhao, he completely understood the meaning.

A spring breeze brushed past, blowing up their wide sleeves. Gao Yang took a sip of the tea in his cup and spoke slowly.

"Calculating carefully, it is indeed time."

"Since I am the Chancellor, let me first take the Zhao Kingdom, this big fat sheep, as the target."

Gao Yang said with a smile. Although his voice was very soft, it was filled with chill in Shangguan Wan'er's heart.

Wu Zhao's lips curled up. She also picked up the hot tea on the table, took a slow sip, and said, "Are you confident?"

"The Zhao Kingdom is finished."

"This layout, which has lasted for a year, is also time to start the harvest."

Gao Yang put down the teacup in his hand, and the collision between the cup and the stone table made a crisp sound.

"Starting the harvest for this layout, thinking about it carefully..." Gao Yang paused specifically when he said this.

"Do you feel reluctant?"

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and could not help but ask.

She thought of the shock she felt when she first heard about the Tulip Scam and the Grain-Picking layout.

That was the first time she heard of a country being manipulated, and when harvested, the people were destitute and the scene was unbearable. It was also the first time she realized how terrifying the methods of a vicious strategist and capital were!

Hearing this, Gao Yang gave a dumbfounded smile, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. How could I be feeling reluctant? I am just excited thinking about it."

"Your Majesty, imagine... I am stirring up the winds and clouds behind the scenes, causing the noble families of Zhao Kingdom to fight endlessly, leaving the Zhao Kingdom with people destitute, corpses strewn across the fields, and starving people everywhere."

"How could I feel reluctant at such a scene?"

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

The guilt in Wu Zhao's heart lessened by a few points; this was the benefit of Gao Yang. ===== CHAPTER 1363 =====
