Chapter 1380

"My character is actually quite good."

Gao Yang said with a thick skin.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe it at all and sneered.

She knew Gao Yang too well; when Chu Qingluan was about to leave, Gao Yang actually went to find Gao Changwen for medicine, and his legs were weak for several days afterward.

Gao Yang's conduct—others might not know, but she knew it all too well.

"Are you sure?"

"If you are sure, then when you come out of the palace later, you and I will go to Wushan for some 'clouds and rain.' I will watch you the whole time; you are not allowed to take medicine. If you are very average, I will castrate you directly."

"How about that?"

Once these words were spoken, Gao Yang's eyes widened instantly.

His Wan'er truly hid a prehistoric beast in her heart; this "wheel" was almost pressing onto his face.

"Wan'er, you have a misunderstanding about men; actually, the longer he holds back, the more average he is."

"This cannot be generalized."

Shangguan Wan'er sneered and didn't speak.

These words were filled with deep guilt.

Seeing this, Gao Yang didn't dare to speak either.

The two walked forward along the bluestone path.

After a long while, when Wu Zhao was vaguely visible in the distance, Shangguan Wan'er finally said, "She is also a pitiful person, even innocent. You yourself are one thing, but don't line up your subordinates."

"This... is too immoral!"

Hearing this, Gao Yang's eyes froze.

"Wan'er, in your heart, is I, Gao Yang, that kind of person?" Gao Yang's voice rose sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er said directly, almost without thinking.

Gao Yang: "..."

"A night of being husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace; this official will find her a countryside estate and raise her there."

Seeing this, Gao Yang said in a low voice.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly and didn't speak.

At this time, the two stepped into the Imperial Garden and ended the topic.

"Your subject Gao Yang pays respects to Your Majesty."

Seeing Wu Zhao in her magnificent attire, Gao Yang bowed slightly.

Wu Zhao turned back, her phoenix eyes sweeping over as she stared at Gao Yang and said, "The tribute silk system is implemented, and my attitude has been shown. Next, what else do you need me to do?"

Gao Yang's expression was calm, "Your Majesty only needs to order the Embroidered Uniform Guard to spread the news to the entire Da Qian and to Handancheng of the Zhao Kingdom with the fastest speed; there is no need to do anything else."

"Just... wait quietly for the merchants of Da Qian and the Zhao Kingdom to go crazy, and wait for the final madness of Zhao Gao!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were solemn as she stared at Gao Yang, somewhat disbelieving, "Minister Gao, relying only on these two pieces of news, is it enough to make the merchants of the world go crazy?"

Gao Yang nodded directly, "Your Majesty, it is guaranteed."

"Mixing truth with falsehood in the world's news is the most lethal. When the events of this morning's court spread to Changancheng, it will make the news I previously released even more certain."

"This is what is most lethal!"

Wu Zhao waved her hand, ordering the palace maid beside her to pour tea, and asked curiously, "What news?"

"The Yan Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, and Chu Kingdom are supporting the Xiongnu to check and balance our Da Qian, so Your Majesty intends to be on good terms with the Zhao Kingdom—this is the current state policy of Da Qian."

"The former is true, but the latter... is false!"

"This news is enough to make many people want to take a gamble, from the great merchants of Changancheng to the ordinary common folk... even to the point of being willing to lose everything and mortgage all they have."

"But once they are at the gambling table, the winning or losing is no longer up to them."

Gao Yang's voice was very light, but the words he spoke made Wu Zhao shudder.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but ask curiously from the side, "Minister Gao, if some merchants buy high now and withdraw in time after a few months, what should be done then?"
