Chapter 1548: A severed arm, does Minister Gao like it?

"By order of the Great Chanyu, the second congratulatory gift has arrived!"

The Xiongnu envoy held the broken armor high, clutching the object wrapped tightly in long cloth strips, and arrived outside the Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

He stopped and did not step into the Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

Gao Yang, Gao Feng, and Gao Tianlong walked out.

When Gao Yang's gaze touched the broken armor, and even the blood on it had dried, he stared at a spot on the armor, and endless murderous intent rose in his heart.

The damage to the right shoulder of the armor was an arrow mark left by Gao Linyuan when he was young and naughty, learning archery and accidentally injuring him.

That time, Gao Linyuan had warned him repeatedly not to tell anyone, otherwise he would definitely be beaten until his butt blossomed.

A strong wind blew, causing the armor to make a clattering sound, like a silent wail.

Gao Yang's eyes were bloodshot.

In those eyes, a bit of murderous intent condensed, about to turn into substance, about to erupt!

Gao Tianlong forced himself to hold on, but his withered palms were already clenched tight, letting his sharp nails pierce his palms, bringing piercing pain.

The Gao family members were all filled with grief and indignation, with endless murderous intent permeating their hearts.

The Xiongnu envoy laughed out loud and mocked, "The world says the Da Qian first poisonous strategist is like a Yama in the world, doing evil, killing without blinking, with a heart harder than stone."

"But now it seems, he is nothing more than this!"

"Can't you bear it already? Then what will you do next, Living Yama?"

The Xiongnu envoy laughed wildly, his expression arrogant.

He threw away the broken armor, stared at Gao Yang, and then untied the knot of the cloth strips with a slight force. A severed arm fell from the air and landed heavily on the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Hiss!"

The people of Changan watching from the side saw this scene and were full of terror, retreating in fear.

"Severed arm!"

"It's actually a severed arm!"

"Could this be Prefect Gao's arm, cut off alive by that Xiongnu?"

Everyone saw this scene, and a chill arose in their hearts.

Gao Yang's pupils shrank, and his face changed visibly.

A wave of evil energy suddenly surged around Gao Yang.

He stared fixedly at the severed arm on the ground, and the murderous intent from the bottom of his heart was almost uncontrollable, surging in all directions with Gao Yang as the center.

In his line of sight, there was only this severed arm.

At the age of ten, this arm taught him to hold a pen: "Writing is like using soldiers; you must be able to retract and release at will!"

On New Year's Eve at the age of thirteen, this hand vented his anger, slapping away the enemy who bullied him on the street: "Those who bully my nephew, regardless of status, regardless of age, I, Gao Linyuan, will repay ten times over!"

Not long ago, this arm patted his shoulder and said to him, "Brat, you're taller than Second Uncle, and stronger than Second Uncle."

But now, this hand had become a severed arm...

It lay quietly on the ground, not even a drop of bright red blood flowing out.

His second uncle's life or death was also unknown.

Damn it!

These Xiongnu, they all deserve to die!

Gao Yang's eyes were blood-red, like an angry young beast, the evil energy around him surging. He wanted to kill, he wanted revenge!

The Xiongnu envoy saw the expression on Gao Yang's face and was full of pleasure.

Black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he smiled, "Living Yama, the Great Chanyu specially ordered me to ask one thing: do you like this gift?"

"Back then, when the Living Yama killed our Xiongnu Prime Minister and cut off his head to present to the Da Qian Empress on a tray, did you ever think of today?"

"This is only the Great Chanyu's second congratulatory gift, can't you take it already?"

"Hahaha!"

The next instant.

A sharp sleeve arrow from Gao Yang's cuff, like a poisonous snake, carried the sound of breaking through the air and stabbed fiercely into the Xiongnu envoy's heart.

This poisoned sleeve arrow easily took the Xiongnu envoy's life.

In the crowd, a Changan guard witnessed all this, his pupils shrinking sharply.

According to Da Qian law, regardless of the reason, those who kill on the street should be severely punished!

Logically speaking, they should stand out.

But now, they felt it was not necessary to do everything according to logic.

The Living Yama at this moment was truly a Yama!

Gao Tianlong picked up the severed arm from the ground. He pursed his lips tightly, his face pale.

He turned around without a word and walked toward the mansion step by step.

A hot current surged in his heart, and Gao Tianlong wanted to force it down, but when he felt the cold touch on that arm.

He couldn't help but feel grief from his heart.

The most bitter thing is longing, the farthest thing is life and death.

In his mind, every scene of Gao Linyuan from childhood to adulthood emerged, from learning to walk to growing up, getting married, and having children.

At this moment, he could no longer hold it back.

Pfft!

Gao Tianlong spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, his eyes went black, and he suddenly fell backward.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Gao Feng and Gao Yang exclaimed in unison, their expressions changing drastically as they rushed forward to support Gao Tianlong's falling body.

Gao Feng roared, "Quick, call a physician!"

This sudden scene directly threw the entire Dingguo Duke's Mansion into chaos.

Soon.

The news that the Xiongnu's second congratulatory gift was a suit of armor and Gao Linyuan's arm, which angered the Living Yama into killing on the street and caused the Duke of Dingguo to vomit blood and faint, spread throughout Changancheng.

Those who heard this were all stunned.

Cui family.

Cui Xinghe learned the news, his face solemn.

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked out the window, muttering to himself, "What does this Xiongnu Chanyu intend to do? Is he trying to force the Living Yama to go crazy?"

"Can he himself withstand this fire?"

Censorate.

A censor surnamed Huang found Yan Zheng and said excitedly, "Censor-in-Chief Yan, a great opportunity! The Living Yama killed someone on the street, which is strictly forbidden by Da Qian law!"

"We can fully submit a memorial to impeach him and make him suffer."

Yan Zheng fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long while, he said, "If you think it is a heaven-sent opportunity, then impeach him boldly. I will pass."

Other censors also said, "Huang Yushi, just impeach him boldly, we will take care of your beautiful wife!"

Huang Yushi: "..."

The other censors rolled their eyes. What was the difference between impeaching the Living Yama at such a time and looking for death?
