Chapter 237

"It's a deal."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded heavily and said, "Hmm, it's a deal."

Da Qian culture is profound.

The same sentence has vastly different meanings.

But until he left the Ministry of Justice Heavenly Prison, Gao Yang was dizzy.

Shangguan Wan'er's appearance and temperament were beyond reproach, but compared to Shangguan Wan'er's shy appearance, he preferred her cold look.

As for the female emperor, it goes without saying; that look that treats everyone like a dog is even more unbearable.

At this moment, it was already dusk, and with corpses all over the Ministry of Justice gate, there were only a few onlookers on the long street.

"Young Master, the subordinate feels that this Lord Shangguan's look at the Young Master is very wrong; the Young Master's kidney-strengthening and yang-boosting medicine might have a place to be used."

Chen Sheng said with a wink.

Even Zhao Da, who was full of seriousness, nodded in agreement.

Prince Rong was resolved, and the remaining party members would also suffer seven or eight out of ten in this wave, so everyone relaxed.

"Kind person in front, the old man is blind and can't find the way home; can you help the old man?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded.

Everyone stopped, only to see an old man leaning on a cane, approaching Gao Yang tremblingly.

His face was like withered wood, and the cane tapped on the ground, making a crisp sound.

Zhao Da pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber.

Chen Sheng's smile faded, his face full of solemnity.

Gao Yang's thoughts were interrupted; he stared at the old man in the dusk and, without a word, raised his hand and fired a sleeve arrow.

At the Ministry of Justice gate full of corpses, in the dusk, an old man, and a blind one at that—even a fool knows there's a problem.

"The old man knew you brat wouldn't respect the old and love the young, insidious and vicious."

"But since you captured Prince Rong, you must come with the old man!"

The old man flashed, avoided the sleeve arrow, and then killed towards Gao Yang; his voice was not half-old, on the contrary, it was full of vigor!

But at this time, Zhao Da and Chen Sheng drew their sabers at the same time, and then killed towards the old man from the left and right.

At the same time.

Zhao Da roared, "Form the formation!"

"Protect the Young Master!"

The Gao family troops drew their sabers one after another, blocking in front of Gao Yang.

The old man's pupils shrank, his face suddenly ugly, "Military formation?"

He wanted to sneak attack, but he didn't expect that both Gao Yang and the guards would react so quickly.

And these people were not mediocre.

He immediately made a judgment.

Retreat!

He drew a soft saber, blocked the attacks of Zhao Da and Chen Sheng, and his gaze suddenly looked at Gao Yang, carrying a heat.

"Gao Yang, you can't run."

"Soon, we will meet again."

After saying this, he immediately retreated.

The Gao family guards originally wanted to chase, but were stopped by Zhao Da, "Don't chase a desperate enemy, beware of traps; protecting the Young Master is the priority."

Zhao Da and Chen Sheng's hands were trembling; although it was just one blow, it made them feel the gap.

"Young Master, this person is an expert."

Chen Sheng said decisively, his gaze solemn.

Gao Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the old man's departing back, his brows knitted tightly, "I see, he is indeed an expert; at such a close distance, my sleeve arrow was actually dodged."

Zhao Da said seriously, "This technique and force don't look like an old man, but like a martial arts expert who has disguised himself."

Gao Yang's eyes were slightly cold, murmuring, "Martial arts expert?"

His eyes were cold.

This sudden old man had superb methods and powerful strength, but he didn't feel any murderous intent; he didn't look like Prince Rong's person.

This made Gao Yang feel strange, but this person definitely had a motive!

Either he was greedy for his vicious schemes, or he was greedy for his body.

"Lord Gao!"

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er heard the movement and hurried over, followed by the Imperial Guards.

"I heard you encountered an assassin; are you okay?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang left and right and asked again.

Gao Yang shook his head, "I'm fine, why are you here?"

"I heard from my subordinates that you encountered an assassination outside, so I came immediately. These remnants of Prince Rong are truly hateful!"

"I will definitely report to Her Majesty, thoroughly investigate Changan, and catch all these rebellious thieves in one net!"

Shangguan Wan'er was full of murderous intent, her face cold.

Gao Yang felt a warmth in his heart and then said, "Although this person came for me, he didn't look like he wanted to kill me, nor did he look like Prince Rong's person; he looked like a martial arts expert."

Shangguan Wan'er raised her brows, "Martial arts expert? They dare to attack you; do they have some deep hatred?"

Gao Yang shook his head, "Never had any; among the enemies in Changan, apart from Prince Rong, the ones I offended are just those few."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately thought of Cui Xinghe and Song Li.

Her eyes were serious, "If it really is them, Her Majesty will definitely give Lord Gao an explanation."

Gao Yang nodded and didn't say much.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Long, "Commander Li, you personally escort Lord Gao back to the mansion."

Li Long bowed and said, "Yes!"

To this, Gao Yang didn't refuse, just asked one question, "Prince Rong..."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "I'll handle it, rest assured."

With these words, Gao Yang was completely relieved.

Soon, under the escort of the Imperial Guards, Gao Yang returned to the Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

He saluted Li Long: "Thank you, Commander Li, for the escort."

Li Long hurriedly waved his hand and patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, "Brother Gao, there is no one around; with our relationship, why be so polite."

"Rest assured, this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation; if it really is Cui Xinghe or the Song family, they must pay the price!"

Li Long made a guarantee.

Gao Yang had to sigh; this is the power of interest entanglement; there is no relationship more solid than this in the world.

But he shook his head and said, "This matter was done too ostentatiously; it doesn't look like a method from the imperial court, so Brother Li doesn't need to take action."

Li Long was stunned, "Then why did Brother Gao just say that to Lord Shangguan?"

"Since the assassination has already happened, naturally I have to think of ways to get some benefits; having Lord Shangguan pass it to Her Majesty's ears to beat the Song family and Cui family, and arouse Her Majesty's vigilance—even if they really have the intention to deal with me, they have to extinguish it."

"This is maximizing interests."

"Hiss!"

Li Long was convinced.

He was truly convinced.

"Brother Gao really has good methods!"

Then, the two chatted for a while, Li Long resigned and left, and Gao Yang also turned and entered the mansion.

As for this martial arts expert, he also remembered him.

Let's wait and see!

Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

Back courtyard.

Gao Tianlong looked at Zhao Da, his face filled with murderous intent, "A martial arts expert attacked Yang'er?"

Zhao Da's expression was serious, and he nodded, "That person went straight for the Young Master, his methods were clean and neat, his martial arts were high, and he could easily repel me and Chen Sheng."

Gao Tianlong's face became colder and colder.

Although Chen Sheng followed Gao Yang on his own, Gao Tianlong had also figured out Chen Sheng's background, and he was also a martial arts expert.
