Chapter 313

Gao Yang was also suddenly startled and looked at Qin Zhenguo with heartache.

What kind of person did he think Gao Yang was?

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao, looking righteous, "The world is going downhill, and human hearts are not what they used to be. Your subject is wholeheartedly for Da Qian; I implore Your Majesty to see clearly!"

"Wan'er, go search him."

Wu Zhao gave a look and said to Shangguan Wan'er.

She knew that Gao Yang's robe was extremely unusual.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang.

"Offense taken, Master Gao!"

"In broad daylight, under the bright sky, according to Da Qian law, Master Shangguan, this official accuses you of molestation!"

Gao Yang took a few steps back.

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and stepped forward quickly.

"Master Gao, this official has also studied it. For a Da Qian man to molest a woman is against the law, but for a woman to molest a man, there is no relevant definition, and furthermore, with His Majesty here, laws can be changed."

Gao Yang retreated; he took the initiative to lift his robe, revealing a few grenades inside.

"Your subject admits that I did indeed take a few."

"But I am a strategist not skilled in force, and I was assassinated by villains some time ago; taking a few grenades for self-defense is quite reasonable, right?"

Wu Zhao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

If Gao Yang hadn't come up with grenades and there hadn't been a massive Chu invasion, she probably wouldn't even know who did it if Xu Xuanji and Lu Wen were blown to heaven or turned into barbecue with alcohol and fire.

Lu Zhen bit the bullet, his scalp tingling as he said to Gao Yang, "Brat, well, I admit, the voice I used to speak to you just now was indeed a bit loud."

Changan.

Chancellor's Mansion.

A carriage stopped steadily, Lu Wen got off and went straight into the Chancellor's Mansion.

Seeing Lu Wen, Xu Xuanji was shocked and immediately reprimanded, "His Majesty has an edict that all civil and military officials and major noble families in Changan must not gather privately. Do you not want your life?"

Lu Wen's expression was bitter, "This official didn't want to make this trip, but the Living Yama has used all his methods to repel the Chu army."

"Fire attacks, quicklime, and other methods are all extremely ruthless, and he is still tormenting the Chu army at night, looking like a master of military strategy."

"But this person is vengeful; our words on the city wall must have offended him deeply. What should we do?"

Lu Wen was both happy and worried.

Good news: Changancheng will be saved, and his official position and life will be saved.

Bad news: It might not last long!

"Cui Xinghe of the Cui family and Song Li of the Song family are both fine, so we don't need to scare ourselves. Having different political views in the court is normal."

At this moment, the voice of a servant in the mansion rang out.

"Report!"

"His Majesty has urgently summoned the Duke of Ding, Old General Lu, and others, and specially ordered that they may enter the palace without removing their armor and carrying weapons!"

"I don't know what happened!"

Hearing this, Xu Xuanji was incredulous, "His Majesty didn't summon me?"

The servant nodded.

"Not even a single civil official."

Xu Xuanji and Lu Wen frowned.

After a while.

"Report!"

"A sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from inside the Imperial Palace, just for a moment!"

Once these words were spoken.

Lu Wen and Xu Xuanji were stunned.

"Fireworks and firecrackers?"

"The war is still in a stalemate, and Changancheng is at best not at a disadvantage, yet His Majesty has already started celebrating in advance?"

Lu Wen asked curiously.

Xu Xuanji's expression changed, and he asked, "Is Master Gao also in the Imperial Palace?"

The servant nodded.

"Master Gao should also be in the Imperial Palace, but what exactly they are doing is unknown."

Xu Xuanji looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace and realized something ominous, "This definitely cannot be fireworks and firecrackers. This Chancellor has a premonition that His Majesty and that Gao Yang are messing around together again and have come up with something extraordinary."

He thought of the alcohol, quicklime, loudspeakers, and other series of tricks to harass the Chu army, and many guesses flooded his heart!

This sound of fireworks made him quite panicked.

Lu Wen frowned and sneered, "Summoning military generals urgently—could it be that His Majesty wants to take the initiative to attack?"

"Even if they attack, it doesn't have much to do with us."

Xu Xuanji looked directly at Lu Wen, "Do you think the big move I'm afraid of is the Living Yama tormenting the Chu army? I'm afraid that the Living Yama's big move to torment the Chu army will incidentally cause you and me to die suddenly!"

Hearing this, Lu Wen was instantly dumbfounded.

"This, it shouldn't go that far..."
