Chapter 1444

Even the Wuqing Sect that once assassinated him has become his people, stirring up trouble in Zhao Guo from the shadows?

"With one scheme, he caused the winds and clouds in Zhao Guo to change suddenly, leaving the people in misery and the land filled with the starving!"

"Such a talent was originally a good match for my Song family, and would have protected my Song family for a hundred years!"

"But my Song family actually took the initiative to break off the engagement…"

Thinking of this, Song Li's face was full of heartache.

He clenched his fists, his heart full of unwillingness.

Song Qingqing also suddenly fell into silence, lowering her head.

Now she stayed in the mansion every day, not daring to stroll on the streets; even if she did go out, she had to wear a veil, otherwise, once recognized, she would face the pointing fingers and mocking gazes of the commoners.

Suddenly.

Song Li raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.

He said to Song Qingqing, "Daughter, since our Song family has already lost face, while the Living Yama still has lingering feelings for you, do you dare to gamble with me?"

"If we win the gamble, our Song family will turn things around; if we lose… it will just add a little more amusement to Changancheng."

"Do you dare?"

Song Qingqing suddenly raised her head, her eyes staring straight at Song Li, and she spoke with firm resolve.

"Father, your daughter is willing to gamble!"

Song Li stroked the beard on his chin, a hint of gratification appearing on his face.

"Then… let us gamble!"

"…"

After coming out of the Imperial Palace.

Gao Yang boarded his carriage; he did not expect that Wu Zhao would have designs on him again.

Of course, as for going on an expedition, that was absolutely impossible!

Are you kidding? Although he had a certain degree of confidence, and the Da Qian weapons were far ahead of the Xiongnu.

But he had already reached the highest ministerial position, with overwhelming power; staying in Changancheng, going to a club to wash his feet when he had nothing to do, and playing special little games with Lv Luo—isn't this wonderful?

Working himself to the bone to go on an expedition and risk his life against the Xiongnu?

What kind of joke is that?

He is different from Gao Tianlong, who insists on suffering when there is no hardship to be found…

"Young Master, the Wuqing Sect has sent people directly to Changancheng, and they have already arrived at the mansion."

"They want to see the Young Master!"

Gao Yang, upon hearing this, felt a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

"The Wuqing Sect didn't send a message, but sent people directly to the Duke of Ding's mansion—this is interesting!"

"Go, speed up and return to the mansion!"

Chen Sheng's voice came, "Yes!"

But not long after, Chen Sheng's voice sounded again.

"Young Master, the Duke of Ding's mansion is surrounded—there are so many commoners!"

"What?"

"The Duke of Ding's mansion is surrounded?"

Gao Yang, upon hearing this, was shocked.

He lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out.

The onlookers, seeing Gao Yang, all focused their gazes upon him.

"Prime Minister Gao is here!"

"Everyone, move aside quickly!"

"What? Prime Minister Gao is here, everyone quickly make a path for the Young Master to pass!"

After the crowd moved aside, Gao Yang looked forward with his eyes.

The next second.

He was stunned.

Within his line of sight.

He saw Song Qingqing, in a long green dress with a delicate face, coming into view, staring at him with a pitiful expression.

And most eye-catchingly, there was a vine on Song Qingqing's back, covered in sharp thorns that had pierced her green dress, seeped into her skin, and brought forth bright red blood…
