~6 min read 1,092 words

At the same time.

Song family.

"Achoo!"

Song Qingqing stood in the garden, staring at the full moon in the sky, and sneezed several times.

"Tonight is considered hot, but why do I feel a bone-chilling coldness?"

"Could it be that Gao Yang is going to take revenge on me?"

Song Qingqing looked puzzled.

The maid beside her walked up and hurriedly draped a thick piece of clothing over Song Qingqing.

"Miss, it's getting late, let's go back to the room."

Song Qingqing nodded, and just as she was about to turn around, she saw Song Li walking toward her.

"Father!"

Seeing Song Qingqing, Song Li's mind was a bit complex.

He asked directly: "Regret it?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing first lowered her head, and then after a long while said.

"I won't hide it from Father, daughter's intestines are almost turning green with regret."

"But since it was daughter's impulse, daughter's mistake, daughter will find a way to make up for it; these few days, I will find a way to create opportunities to contact Gao Yang."

Song Qingqing was firm.

But Song Li said, "No need to rush, don't go these few days."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Song Qingqing looked stunned.

Song Li's reaction was almost something Song Qingqing hadn't expected.

Logically speaking, Song Li should be urging her to go and contact Gao Yang; after all, in the current Da Qian, Gao Yang's rise is unstoppable!

But why did he change his mind?

Sensing Song Qingqing's confusion, Song Li said slowly, "Tomorrow in the court, there is still a heaven-sized trouble."

"If he accepts it, he will suffer the curses of the world!"

"If he doesn't accept it, he will disappoint His Majesty!"

"But this heaven-sized trouble, or rather, a conspiracy, except for Gao Yang, no one among the officials will accept it; I am curious about his choice."

Song Li's voice was full of deep meaning, his gaze deep.

Song Qingqing's heart shook.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Father, daughter is a bit curious, what exactly is this heaven-sized trouble? This is clearly Da Qian winning, how can it be so dangerous?"

Song Li glanced at Song Qingqing.

He said faintly, "Da Qian did indeed win, but it also gained a terrifying number of prisoners; have you ever thought about how to deal with these Chu army prisoners?"

"Prisoners?"

A flash of light appeared in Song Qingqing's eyes.

It was as if she had grasped something.

Song Li was cold, "Da Qian and Great Chu fought a decisive battle before Changancheng; the Changning Army and the Guanzhong Army caught them off guard, and that Princess of Great Chu didn't flee but charged forward, and was eventually captured alive!"

"This led to a very large number of prisoners this time."

"These Chu troops are all in the hinterland of Da Qian; they can't run out at all. Counting the Chu army and the baggage troops along the way from Longguan to Changancheng, how many people are there?"

"Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or even more?"

"Da Qian has suffered natural disasters for years, with rebellions everywhere, and the national treasury has long been bottomed out; our own people don't have enough to eat, so how to settle and deal with these prisoners? This will be a heaven-sized problem!"

"But the simplest solution, no one will mention, and no one dares to mention; Gao Yang is indeed a meritorious official of Da Qian, but this game has ultimately reached his hands!"

Song Li's voice was calm, but it made Song Qingqing shudder!

She also understood Song Li's meaning and immediately took a deep breath, "Then daughter will wait a bit longer."

Seeing this, Song Li didn't say much.

He just looked toward the horizon and muttered, "The world is unfair, and good people don't get good rewards; although this is cruel, it is a naked fact."

"Once this sharp blade is stained with too much blood, how long can it exist?"

"..."

The next day.

Golden sunlight broke through the clouds, shrouding the entire Changancheng, and the hawking on the streets resounded through the sky.

Everything returned to the established track, making people feel at ease.

In the Jin Luan Hall.

The officials stood on both sides, waiting for Wu Zhao to come to court.

Nangong Tian and Wang Zhong were also among them, and were the center of attention for the officials.

Especially Wang Zhong, who was riding high on success; originally he was considered a party member of the Prince of Rong, and even if he wasn't eliminated, being promoted in name but demoted in reality upon returning to Changancheng was already a settled matter.

But he never expected the Chu army to attack!

He immediately sensed the turning point of the matter, so he rushed all the way with his people to help the King!

He expressed his loyalty and made a great contribution!

A hand of trash cards was actually played well by him!

He scanned left and right; the officials had almost all arrived, but Gao Yang's figure was still not seen, which made him very unwilling.

"Vice Minister Gao, did the Assistant Minister Gao oversleep? Why haven't we seen his figure yet?"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but look at Gao Feng and ask.

If Gao Yang didn't come, how could he perform the meeting gift he had thought about all night?

This made him very disappointed!

Gao Feng was also puzzled; originally he was going to call Gao Yang, but was stopped by Gao Tianlong.

Gao Tianlong stood at the very front of the officials, squinting his eyes, looking like an old god.

He said faintly, "My rebellious grandson fought for days, consuming too much energy, so he is sick and unable to get up, currently recuperating in the residence; I will explain this to His Majesty myself."

"Old General Wang, do you have anything you want me to convey?"

Wang Zhong was disappointed.

"Duke misunderstood, I was just asking casually!"

The officials' gazes fell on Gao Tianlong, full of deep meaning!

The old fox with a sharp sense of smell immediately realized Gao Tianlong's idea.

This is to block the knife on his behalf!

But just at this moment, outside the Jin Luan Hall, a figure walked up, holding two vegetable buns in his hand.

He greeted the officials as if he had entered his own home.

"Fresh and hot buns, do you lords want some?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Tianlong turned his head suddenly!
