But he still stood on both sides of Gao Yang with Wu Guang and a group of guards to protect him.

Gao Yang seemed to trust his judgment very much, but under his wide sleeves, a crossbow bolt was actually quietly aimed at the thin, dark man.

As long as the thin, dark man had any unusual movement—if what he took out was not a letter but something else—this crossbow bolt would easily pierce his heart and take his life!

But the thin, dark man did not know this; on the contrary, he looked at Gao Yang with full admiration.

In fact, he had arrived yesterday, but had been looking for a suitable opportunity to meet Gao Yang.

But he was afraid that Gao Yang, in a fit of rage, would not believe his identity and would kill him directly, which would be too unjust.

He did not expect Gao Yang to trust his judgment so much!

He bowed to Gao Yang with admiration, "Lord Gao is truly the number one strategist famous in the Seven Kingdoms. I admire you."

"Stop flattering me. Since the Great Chu Princess sent you to deliver a letter, it must be an important matter. Take the letter out."

Gao Yang's expression was calm, but in reality, the crossbow bolt in his sleeve was aimed even more precisely at the thin, dark man's heart.

The thin, dark man was completely unaware of Gao Yang's "old silver coin" (treacherous) nature. He reached into his bosom and took out a letter.

Afterwards, he said respectfully to Gao Yang, "My Lord, here is the letter."

Gao Yang nodded, and the crossbow bolt in his hand loosened slightly.

"Bring him inside and treat him well. This is not a place to talk. We will look at it inside."

The thin, dark man wanted to speak and urge Gao Yang to read it quickly, but he was afraid of making Gao Yang suspicious, so he just nodded and said.

"I thank Lord Gao, but the Great Princess is very anxious, so I ask Lord Gao to be sure to read it!"

"I know."

Soon, Gao Yang arrived in the small courtyard.

He said, "Where is the letter?"

Beside him, Chen Sheng took out the letter respectfully and was about to open it.

But Gao Yang said, "No need to rush."

"The Chu Kingdom is my personal enemy, so be careful. Go find Uncle Fu, first get two pairs of gloves, and then bring the big yellow dog from the Changwen courtyard."

Gao Yang said lightly.

Although Chen Sheng did not understand at all, he still walked out immediately.

Soon, Chen Sheng came back, leading the big yellow dog that was panting with its tongue out, and holding two pairs of gloves.

"Young Master, I have brought the things according to your instructions," Chen Sheng said.

"Put on the gloves, open the letter, but keep it far away from yourself. Aim it at the big yellow dog's nose for a period of time, but hold the dog and don't let it damage the letter."

Although Chen Sheng was strange, he still did as he was told.

"Yes!"

Soon, Chen Sheng did as Gao Yang instructed, but he was full of confusion.

"Young Master, why do we need to wear gloves?"

Gao Yang held a cup of tea, took a sip, and explained, "A letter from the Chu Kingdom must be guarded against. This thin, dark man's background is unknown, so we must be even more careful."

"Opening the letter with gloves is because I'm afraid there might be some deadly poison smeared on it, to avoid any tiny wounds on the hands."

Chen Sheng understood and said with admiration, "Young Master is thoughtful; it should be so!"

But this further aroused Chen Sheng's curiosity. He pointed to the big yellow dog not far away, which had its nose aimed at the letter but was being held by a servant at a certain distance.

"Young Master, what is the meaning of that?"

Gao Yang still explained lightly, "A dog's nose is hundreds of times more sensitive than a human's, if not more."

"But its body is much smaller than a human's. If there is a strange poison on this letter that carries a scent, the big yellow dog will die in a while. Conversely, then there is no poison."

Chen Sheng exclaimed in admiration, "Young Master is a great talent!"

Wu Guang and Green Radish also looked at Gao Yang with amazement.

Da Qian's number one poison strategist—this level of caution is truly unmatched.

Big yellow dog: "?"

Does no one speak up for it?

Wu Guang stared at the big yellow dog and licked his lips greedily, "I wonder if poisoned dog meat can be eaten."

"I have been craving this big yellow dog for a long time."

Big yellow dog: "???"

At the same time.

Chu Ningyu begged the Emperor of Chu for a long time before she was allowed to enter the hall and see Chu Qingluan.

She lowered her voice and said, "Imperial Sister, I have already sent someone with my handwritten letter to Da Qian. Calculating the time, it should be in the Living Yama's hands by now."

"Perhaps he has a way to stop all this!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan felt as if hope had suddenly ignited.

"Gao... Gao Yang?"

"In our current situation, will a heartless person like him take action?"

Chu Qingluan sneered, not holding any hope.

But Chu Ningyu looked serious and said solemnly, "Therefore, I appropriately embellished a little and told a small lie."

Chu Qingluan looked astonished and suddenly raised her head.

Da Qian.

Changancheng.

After a while.

The big yellow dog was still fine, which made Gao Yang put down the teacup in his hand. He said to Chen Sheng, "It's basically fine. Open it and see what is written."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes widened.

"Me?"

He looked at Gao Yang in shock.

"I have already ruled out the danger for you. If you don't read it, should I read it?"

Gao Yang said righteously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng could not speak.

But he had to admit that Gao Yang's words made a lot of sense.

Chen Sheng had no choice but to go and pick up the letter on the ground. But when he saw the content on the letter.

His expression suddenly froze, and his eyes widened to the extreme!

Seeing the end, his body even trembled with anger, "Beasts, are they even human?"

These words made Gao Yang's heart sink. He instinctively sensed that this letter might be about his and Chu Qingluan's child.

"Chen Sheng, what is written on it?" Gao Yang asked.

"Young Master, the Xiongnu and the Emperor of Chu are simply not acting like humans. Subordinate... subordinate cannot say it!"

"You... why don't you read it yourself? After reading this letter, I can conclude that this letter definitely has no poison!"

Chen Sheng patted his chest and guaranteed.

Gao Yang stood up, put on gloves, and took the letter. But when he saw the content written by Chu Ningyu, his expression suddenly turned ugly as well.

It was an unprecedented killing intent, sweeping in all directions like a hurricane.

Green Radish could not help but ask, "Brother Chen, what is written on the letter?"

Chen Sheng glanced at Gao Yang, and when he found that Gao Yang did not intend to stop him.

He then said, "The Great Princess of Great Chu says that Chu Qingluan gave birth to the Young Master's child, a baby boy!"

"But this baby boy is extremely miserable. He is called a bastard by everyone in Great Chu. Even in swaddling clothes, no one takes care of him. Even when he has a fever, no imperial physician comes to diagnose or treat him!"

"They say that Chu Qingluan is just a marriage alliance princess, does she deserve medicine? They call the little young master a bastard and do not treat him!"

Once these words were spoken, Green Radish, Wu Guang, and the others were all shocked.

Green Radish could not help but say, "Is the Emperor of Chu really that heartless?"

"The little young master is so miserable in Great Chu!"

But before Green Radish could finish speaking, Chen Sheng continued, "This is just the beginning. The most miserable part is yet to come!" ===== CHAPTER 1464 =====
