Chapter 486

Imperial Garden.

Wu Zhao was in simple casual clothes, full of nobility.

Beside her was the expressionless and icy Shangguan Wan'er.

"How did the scheme of the Sunflower Manual go?"

Wu Zhao asked.

A smile appeared on Gao Yang's face, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the effect was excellent."

"Last night, it is estimated that over a hundred martial arts people died outside the city. These were all unstable factors in the Changancheng area. Now that they are gone, Changancheng should be more stable."

Wu Zhao's brow relaxed, and she asked, "What about the Wang family head?"

"He is indeed a genuine martial arts expert. During the day, he survived over ten assassination attempts, and at night, he hid outside a secluded hillside."

"I ordered people to throw some snakes in, and the Wang family head was scared out, exposing his tracks. I estimate he has already been hacked to death by random blades, right?"

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched; she looked deeply at Gao Yang and then asked, "Did anyone castrate themselves?"

"I don't know about that."

"However, looking at Your Majesty's expression, it seems you have something on your mind?"

Gao Yang stared at the expression on Wu Zhao's face and asked.

Wu Zhao's fair and exquisite face looked at Gao Yang, her brows knitted tightly.

"I do have something on my mind."

"The latest news: the Zhao Kingdom envoy group and the Yan Kingdom envoy group have reached a position less than ten miles from Changancheng, but they have not entered Changancheng yet."

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang with her phoenix eyes and said.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Are they waiting for the Chu Kingdom envoy group?"

Wu Zhao nodded and said coldly, "Correct!"

"And just today, a wave of rumors arose in the city, slandering your 'Clouds resemble clothes, flowers resemble faces, spring breeze brushes the railing, dew is thick' as plagiarism!"

"The person behind this is also likely the Chu Kingdom envoy group!"

Gao Yang said coldly, "On the way here, I also heard some rumors."

"A defeated general, yet they dare to be so arrogant?"

Wu Zhao replied faintly, "They naturally wouldn't dare use overt methods, but covert methods are hard to guard against."

"But it is said that this time, accompanying the Great Chu envoy group, there are not only Mohist masters but also mathematical masters and literary saints!"

"Their intention for peace talks is not sincere!"

"This rumor-mongering and slander seem to be aimed at you!"

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"I have a plan that can resolve this matter!"

Wu Zhao became interested instantly.

"What plan?"

"Order the imperial guards to disguise themselves as bandits, find a suitable place for an ambush, charge in, and hack the entire Chu Kingdom envoy group to death."

"Afterward, suppress the bandits in a rage; it kills two birds with one stone."

"This crisis can be resolved!"

Wu Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

If they were killed off, the subsequent methods would disappear along with them.

Shangguan Wan'er was also suddenly stunned.

Li Long was very excited.

"Your Majesty, I request to fight!"

"I guarantee I'll be just like a real bandit!"

But Wu Zhao shook her head, "No."

"The Great Chu envoy group has been flying the Chu Kingdom flag all the way; which bandits would dare to rob them? And bandits mostly only rob for money; how could they deal such a ruthless blow to the Chu Kingdom envoy group!"

"This method, at a glance, would be known to be done by me."

Gao Yang said indifferently, "What does that matter?"
