Chapter 1795

The already awkward atmosphere became even more so.

Lu Yourong kept her head down, her voice sounding out, "It's okay, that joke... was quite funny."

"You Rong, how does your wound feel? Does it still hurt? Let me take a look for you."

Gao Yang also felt he had nothing to say, so he spoke directly.

"The wound?"

Lu Yourong was suddenly startled upon hearing this.

"This..."

Gao Yang secretly hated Chen Sheng in his heart; he must have been influenced by Chen Sheng.

"I meant... the arrow wound."

A flash of embarrassment crossed Lu Yourong's face.

She had actually thought of something else too.

Soon.

Gao Yang leaned in and took a serious look at the wound, which made Lu Yourong feel extremely uncomfortable.

But after hearing Lu Zhen's earlier words, she had prepared herself mentally.

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The wound is not infected. You just need to rest for a while longer, and it will recover."

"But they say it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon. This favor... I, this Minister, will remember for a lifetime."

Suddenly, Gao Yang said to Lu Yourong with a serious face.

Lu Yourong stared at the exceptionally serious Gao Yang, feeling a sense of loss in her heart for no reason.

She revealed a very forced smile and said to Gao Yang in a carefree manner.

"Gao Yang, you don't have to be like this. I saved you just because I didn't want to see you die, nothing more! Don't overthink it, and don't be self-indulgent!"

"I, Lu Yourong, have been proud and unyielding my whole life, and I wouldn't do something like stealing another woman's man. Even if you were willing, I would absolutely not be."

"Once we return to Changancheng, we will go our separate ways. With my talent, there are plenty of young heroes in the world who will pursue me!"

When Lu Yourong said this, there was a brilliant smile on her face, as if it were from the heart.

Gao Yang's lips moved, wanting to speak, but he didn't know how to start.

What promise could he give?

Shangguan Wan'er had been so good to him; how could he betray her? Moreover, both of them had significant status, and behind them involved the face of their families.

In Da Qian, this was even more important than life itself!

And who could he let suffer a grievance for his sake?

This was a dead end, and also a deadlock in Gao Yang's eyes.

"Minister Gao!"

At this moment.

Outside, Chen Sheng's weak voice sounded.

A nameless fire surged in Gao Yang's heart.

Did this Chen Sheng really want to test the gunpowder with his life-root?

But the next second.

Chen Sheng's voice made Gao Yang's eyes suddenly turn cold.

"Minister Gao, that... Luo Cheng has come to surrender voluntarily!"

"Luo Cheng..." Lu Yourong asked curiously, changing the subject.

"The culprit who was bent on taking my life that day and caused you to be seriously injured is none other than Luo Cheng!"

"I used a small trick to force him to come and surrender voluntarily."

Lu Yourong glanced at Gao Yang.

She knew in her heart that this "small trick" was definitely not a good one.

"Since that's the case, Minister Gao, you should go quickly. I'm also a bit tired and want to rest for a while longer."

Lu Yourong smiled.

Gao Yang stood up and looked deeply at Lu Yourong.

Then, he nodded. "Alright, I will come to see you again tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Soon.

Gao Yang left the tent.

Lu Yourong lay on the soft bed, silent for a long time.

Finally.

She closed her eyes wearily, her voice carrying three parts sorrow and seven parts regret.

"Gao Yang, the order in which people appear in one's life is too important. If I had known you earlier, would the ending have been completely different?"

"It's just a pity that I was born at the wrong time and met the wrong person. All of this... is just fate!"

On the grassland, a strong wind whistled, blowing the tent until it made a rustling sound.

The whistling wind covered Lu Yourong's murmurs, as if nothing had ever happened... ===== CHAPTER 1797 =====
