Chapter 1570

"Lord Wang, what is wrong with you?"

"Do you think this official is too cruel?"

Gao Yang saw the shocked Wang Yifan and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Yifan came back to his senses, his whole body trembling visibly, but he hurriedly shook his head.

"No!"

"Lord Gao, that is not the case. Lord Gao has given these death row prisoners a chance to turn over a new leaf and even serve the country; how can this be called cruel?"

"On the contrary, this official thinks Lord Gao has the world in his heart and is very benevolent. If anyone is to be blamed for all this, it has nothing to do with Lord Gao; one should blame that Xiongnu Great Chanyu for being too overbearing!"

Wang Yifan said decisively, with great certainty.

He was truly afraid that Gao Yang would draft him into the suicide squad.

Gao Yang glanced at Wang Yifan, his expression twitching slightly.

This Wang Yifan's words did not match his expression in the slightest.

"Lord Wang, are these words from your heart?"

Wang Yifan patted his chest and guaranteed, "In front of Prime Minister Gao, how would this official dare to speak falsely? These words are every bit from the bottom of my heart, truly as real as can be."

Just as Gao Yang was about to say something more.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er's voice came out.

"Prime Minister Gao, His Majesty summons you."

Seeing this, Wang Yifan hurriedly said with a serious face, "Prime Minister Gao, since it is His Majesty summoning you personally, it must be an important matter. Prime Minister Gao, do not delay."

Gao Yang nodded indifferently and was about to step away.

But before leaving, he said to Wang Yifan, "Minister Wang, this official is not that unreasonable; there is no need to be so nervous and afraid."

"Prime Minister Gao, how can you say that! How could that be!"

Gao Yang looked at the sweating Wang Yifan, said nothing, turned around, and left.

When he saw Gao Yang leave, Wang Yifan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"This living Yama has finally left."

"Using death row prisoners to fight bravely, and even ordering them to strap on explosives as a suicide squad to blast the Xiongnu army—is this something a human would do?"

Until now, Wang Yifan still felt it was heaven-defying.

But then, he said with a complex expression, "That Xiongnu Great Chanyu is going to have a hard time this time..."

Zhu Que Street.

Gao Yang and Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the Ministry of Justice. Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a green long dress, and that beautiful face fell straight onto Gao Yang.

"Lord Gao, you were impulsive."
