Chapter 791

"The place of the Empress Dowager's bedchamber?"

Wu Zhao first let out a sudden sigh of relief, but the next second her phoenix eyes changed abruptly.

"Not good!"

"Gao Yang!"

Once these words fell, Shangguan Wan'er's expression also changed abruptly.

At this time, Pan Anguo, wearing black armor, also hurried in from outside the Imperial Study, "Subject Pan Anguo, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"There are assassins in the palace, but the inside and outside of the Imperial Study have been arranged by this subject like an iron bucket. Your Majesty need not worry."

When Wu Zhao saw Pan Anguo, she walked down quickly and asked, "Where did the assassins come from? Who are they assassinating?"

When Pan Anguo heard Wu Zhao's tone, he sensed something wrong. He replied carefully, "Assassins appeared near Changle Palace. They are not assassinating the Empress Dowager, but... Lord Gao!"

"The specific reason is currently unknown, but Commander Li has already led people to capture the assassins. This subject was afraid that the assassins were using a diversionary tactic to harm Your Majesty, so I rushed back!"

Boom!

It was as if Wu Zhao's brain had been hit by a giant hammer, and endless stormy waves surged in her heart!

Gao Yang was assassinated!

"How is Gao Yang? Is he safe and sound?"

Wu Zhao asked again, her tone tense.

Pan Anguo's voice became lower and lower, "Lord Gao's life or death is currently unknown..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao was instantly furious.

"From this moment on, seal the Imperial Palace. No one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to leave the palace. The internal and external Imperial Guards must check strictly; not even a dog hole can be missed, but remember that Gao Yang's safety is paramount!"

"If something happens to Gao Yang, I want those assassins to die without a burial place!"

"Yes!"

Pan Anguo knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He didn't expect that Gao Yang's status in Wu Zhao's heart was actually this high!

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, forcing herself not to panic, but her mind was full of the news that Gao Yang had been assassinated and his life or death was unknown.

"Now, immediately prepare the carriage for Changle Palace!"

Wu Zhao made a move to leave.

"Your Majesty, you cannot!"

"Now that the assassins have not been captured, the Imperial Palace is full of crises. Your Majesty staying in the Imperial Study to control the overall situation is the best strategy!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes changed abruptly, and a terrifying killing intent suddenly swept out from her body.

"I said immediately prepare the carriage for Changle Palace!"

"Do not make me repeat it a second time, do you understand?"

Pan Anguo's expression was horrified, and he hurriedly said, "Yes!"

He felt endless killing intent from Wu Zhao's body; it seemed that if he tried to dissuade Wu Zhao again, his head would really fall to the ground!

Shangguan Wan'er was also struck as if by a heavy blow, her delicate body swaying suddenly.

She was also extremely panicked inside.

Gao Yang, a vicious strategist, had actually been assassinated and his life or death was unknown!

It's fine, it must be fine.

As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but scourges live for a thousand years. Gao Yang is so bad, simply bad to the core, with all kinds of bottomless vicious plans—how could something happen to him!

Shangguan Wan'er's face was pale, and she kept talking to herself in her heart.

"..."

Long Guiyuan.

Gao Yang admitted that at that time, Guard Wu's big saber was only three inches away from his head, and he was about to lose his head.

He had even prepared to pay the price for his carelessness.

Just like stock trading in his previous life—when everyone wants to make money from it and wants to use it to completely change their own destiny and their family's destiny, that is often an extremely dangerous signal.

Buy when no one cares, sell when everyone is enlightened!

But when one cannot curb the greed in one's heart and insists that one will not be the last person to hold the hot potato, one will often pay the price.

He was careless and made a fatal mistake, and the price... might also be his own life!

But just at this moment, he heard this cold, domineering voice, and it was right above his head.

Subsequently, a silver long spear, like a poisonous dragon, appeared quickly in Gao Yang's line of sight from top to bottom, and then with a "clang," it deflected Guard Wu's big saber!

"You cannot kill this person!"

The cold and domineering voice rang out again, carrying a hint of indisputability.

Gao Yang looked to the side and saw a woman wearing a palace maid's skirt and a veil over her head, making it impossible to see her face, standing beside him.

In her hand, she held a silver long spear about several feet long!

Gao Yang's heart was filled with joy. Could there be a turning point today?

Besides Li Long's people, who else in the palace would protect his life?

Could it be that he misunderstood this scoundrel Li Long?

Guard Wu's big saber was blocked, and his expression changed.

He looked at the newcomer, almost gritting his teeth, his hands trembling, "Who are you?"

"Why ruin my good deed?"

It was just a little bit, just a little bit.

Guard Wu was extremely unwilling.

This spear technique had great strength, definitely not from an ordinary person. His heart sank, knowing that an expert had arrived today!

If she wanted to protect Gao Yang, it would be really hard for him to make a move!

Gao Yang looked at Bai Xin-xin and hurriedly said, "The grace of saving my life, Gao Yang will definitely keep it in mind, and I will definitely repay this grace in this lifetime!"

He never expected that the situation would turn around, and just before death, an expert would actually emerge to save his life!

He, Gao Yang, was not destined to die!

But Bai Xin-xin looked at Gao Yang indifferently and said coldly, "Lord Gao, don't be happy too early."

"Because I am also here to take your life."

Hum!

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's heart turned cold by more than half.

His eyes widened, and he was numb.

This female expert is also here to take his life?

Upon hearing this, Guard Wu's expression was full of joy. He immediately said, "Since everyone is an enemy of the Living Yama, why are you stopping me from killing him?"

Guard Wu was a bit anxious. After all, every second of time was extremely precious now. Is this woman brainless? Why stop him?

Gao Yang was also confused.

He also didn't quite understand—since this woman wanted to kill him, why did she save him from Guard Wu's hands?

Isn't this doing something unnecessary?

Bai Xin-xin said seriously, "If you kill this Living Yama, I won't receive the final payment. If I kill him, I can receive a large final payment. Moreover, my Ruthless Sect also has an irreconcilable hatred with the Living Yama. The Living Yama must die by my hands!"

"If you retreat now, you might still have a chance to escape alive; otherwise, you will definitely die. I will kill him after I successfully leave the palace!"

Bai Xin-xin held the silver-white long spear, guarding against Gao Yang while speaking to Guard Wu.

Upon hearing this, Guard Wu was directly stunned.
