Chapter 367: Gao Yang

Gao Yang continued, his eyes filled with extreme calm.

But the calmer he was, the more Wu Zhao's heart tightened.

"What backup plan?"

Wu Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"It is currently the eighth month, and the weather is sultry. Changancheng is full of wooden and tiled houses. If we cannot defeat the Chu army, then… burn Changancheng!"

"Inside the palace, I have prepared a palace maid with a similar build to Your Majesty."

"Once we are defeated, a massive fire will ignite in the palace, covering all traces. To the east of Zhu Que Street, I have ordered people to dig a secret tunnel, which is enough to accommodate Your Majesty and my family!"

"As long as we burn the grain and fodder in Changancheng, as well as everything else, the Chu army will not be able to stay long. Even if they don't slaughter the city, the shortage of grain will force them to slaughter the city!"

"This is also a move!"

"When that time comes, Your Majesty will fake your death, Changancheng will be burned to ashes, and Da Qian will instantly fall into chaos; with various factions carving up the territory, the people will be plunged into misery—this will be inevitable!"

"I have hidden a little bit of money. It is not much, but it is enough to help Your Majesty rise again!"

Gao Yang looked serious, his eyes filled with indifference.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone Gao Yang!

However, if we really follow this plan, Wu Zhao must take off that armor.

In an instant, Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes widened.

She looked at the calm Gao Yang, a monstrous wave rising in her heart!

Gao Yang had thought of everything.

As long as they burned the grain and fodder in Changancheng and burned everything, the Chu army would have nothing to gain, and she could fake her death and escape to start a great cause again!

But according to what Gao Yang said, many people in Changancheng would die.

This scheme was too vicious!

But it was also a scheme of a golden cicada shedding its shell!

Wu Zhao stared directly at Gao Yang, but Gao Yang remained expressionless.

Compared to being a hero worshipped by ten thousand people, he preferred being an 'old six' hiding in a dark, dirty ditch.

That feeling was simply too good.

At the same time.

As night shrouded Changancheng, several carrier pigeons flew from outside the city into the city, landing in a courtyard in the Imperial Palace.

A soldier removed the intelligence tied to the pigeon's leg and then used a special codebook to compare and decipher it.

When he saw the content after deciphering, a look of uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on the soldier's face.

Inside the great hall.

Wu Zhao and Gao Yang fell into a state of relative silence.

There are things in the world that should be done and things that should not be done. Wu Zhao's heart was wavering.

From her heart, she was prepared to sacrifice herself with the soldiers and civilians of Changancheng.

But Gao Yang's method gave her another possibility.

It was just that she found it difficult to accept these means.

Just as her thoughts were in chaos and she didn't know how to speak.

The hall door was pushed open violently.

A palace guard rushed in, knelt on one knee, and looked at Wu Zhao with fanatical eyes. ===== CHAPTER 369 =====
