Chapter 795

This is more like it!

Just a moment ago, she almost thought she was going to fall!

"We're leaving. Whoever dares to pursue, the Living Yama will definitely lose his life!"

Bai Xin-xin held the long spear, and Old Wang and the other Ruthless Sect disciples pressed Gao Yang toward one side.

The group of palace guards who arrived, seeing this scene, didn't dare to move randomly and only dared to move their steps carefully.

After all, everyone knew Gao Yang's status and position very clearly.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

Li Long looked at the direction the assassins left and said coldly, "You all keep watching first. Do not provoke the assassins. I will immediately report to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide!"

Subsequently, Li Long turned around with big strides and rushed toward where Wu Zhao was.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Wu Zhao wore a black tight-fitting dragon robe, her pretty face cold. She took steps and rushed toward the direction of Long Guiyuan.

The eunuchs and palace maids along the way, upon sensing the almost solid killing intent around Wu Zhao, knelt down one after another, keeping their heads low, fearing to provoke Wu Zhao.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Long saw Wu Zhao from afar, his heart shocked.

Wu Zhao also looked over suddenly and stopped, "Commander Li, how is Gao Yang?"

She asked heavily, and when she asked this sentence, she was even somewhat nervous. That nervousness was even more worrying than when Great Chu's troops were pressing on Changan.

It was as if her heart was suddenly gripped by a large hand, making her even somewhat unable to breathe!

When Li Long heard this, he knelt directly on the ground and shouted loudly with tears flowing, "Your Majesty!"

At this high shout, Wu Zhao was panicked all over.

Could it be...

Shangguan Wan'er's small face was pale, and she staggered back two steps.

"Minister... Minister Gao, could it be that he was harmed by that villain?"

"Lord Gao was hijacked by that villain. This subject rushed and rushed, even using my old life, but still failed to save Lord Gao in time!"

"Moreover, the assassins are holding Lord Gao and won't let this subject pursue. This subject also didn't dare to move randomly. Now the assassins' whereabouts are unknown, and I'm afraid they are about to leave the palace gate!"

"Once they leave the palace gate, I'm afraid..."

Hum!

Wu Zhao's expression was extremely ugly. Her fists were clenched tightly together, and the killing intent around her body surged.

Gao Yang was held by assassins and was heading toward the palace gate. Once they left the palace, did he still have a way to live?

"Useless!"

"In the dignified Imperial Palace, you actually let the assassins hijack Lord Gao. What use do I have for you?"

Wu Zhao kicked Li Long directly. Li Long was kicked over to the ground but hurriedly climbed up and knelt again.

"This subject is guilty!"

"This subject is willing to accept punishment!"

"This subject, as Lord Gao's good brother, could only watch the assassins leave. This subject's heart is as if it is being sliced by a thousand knives!"

Li Long said loudly, his face full of heartache.

"The Imperial Palace has been sealed by me in advance. It is difficult for the assassins to escape, but they must absolutely not be provoked!"

"Tell the commanders of each gate to drag the assassins out by all means and report to me at the first moment. As long as they are willing to release Lord Gao, I am willing to pay the price of 10,000 taels of gold and various conditions!!"

Pan Anguo and Li Long were both shocked. Wu Zhao's promise almost gave enough sincerity!

"Which gate is closest to Long Guiyuan?"

Pan Anguo said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the Xuanwu Gate!"

"Rush to the Xuanwu Gate!"

Wu Zhao gave an order and took steps.

Halfway there.

An Imperial Guard knelt and shouted to Wu Zhao.

"Your Majesty, the assassins are at the Xuanwu Gate!"

"They want to leave the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao immediately said, "Accelerate to the Xuanwu Gate. Order the defending general of the Xuanwu Gate to think of every way to drag them out; otherwise, I will behead him!"

Everyone rushed toward the Xuanwu Gate one after another.

"..."

Xuanwu Gate.

Bai Xin-xin, Old Wang, and a group of Ruthless Sect disciples arrived at the Xuanwu Gate at the fastest speed while holding Gao Yang.

At this moment, the entire Imperial Palace was alarmed.

They wanted to escape the palace at the first moment, which was almost an impossible thing, but the only trump card in their hands was Gao Yang!

"Open the city gate quickly!"

"I will say it again, otherwise the Living Yama's life will be gone!"

Old Wang shouted loudly to the soldiers at the Xuanwu Gate in front of him.

The defending general of the Xuanwu Gate, Lin Qian, remained unmoved. He shouted loudly, "Privately opening the palace gate is a capital offense of executing the three clans. If Lord Gao is killed, we will also be executed to the three clans."

"I have already reported to His Majesty. Unless His Majesty issues an imperial decree, this palace gate will never be opened. You are experts from the pugilistic world; why make things difficult for a small defending general like me!"

Lin Qian shouted loudly, his face full of tension.

Old Wang, while controlling Gao Yang, said to Bai Xin-xin, "It's broken, Sect Leader. We've encountered a tough nut. What should we do?"

Bai Xin-xin's expression was calm, and she said, "What are you afraid of?"

"With Gao Yang in hand, are you afraid we can't leave the palace?"

Bai Xin-xin looked at Gao Yang's pair of eyes, her expression cold.

Soon.

Wu Zhao led the palace guards and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate. She saw Gao Yang held by a dagger at a glance.

Her gaze immediately fell on Bai Xin-xin, and she said heavily, "Release Minister Gao, and I will grant you amnesty for your crimes. In addition, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of gold. How about that?"

Bai Xin-xin's gaze fell on Wu Zhao, somewhat surprised.

This Wu Zhao opened her mouth and offered 10,000 taels of gold; this handwriting could not be said to be small!

"Living Yama, it seems you are quite important to the Qian Emperor. Not only amnesty but also a reward of 10,000 taels of gold. Tsk tsk, it's truly enviable..."

Old Wang's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader, this condition..."

Bai Xin-xin's face turned black, and she scolded, "This Qian Emperor has been with this Living Yama for so long; her red heart must have turned black. She dares to promise, but aren't you afraid she will turn around and pierce us with ten thousand arrows?"

"I will not. I can swear to heaven! If I do not keep my promise, I will die without a burial place!"

Wu Zhao said heavily, although she also felt that because of Gao Yang, this oath was somewhat powerless.

"Your Majesty, don't waste your effort. Although I am very tempted by these 10,000 taels of gold, we will not believe you. Hand over Gao Yang, and we will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered. If you are sensible, open the palace gate quickly!"

"In addition, prepare three fast horses!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for taking the Living Yama's life! Let us leave the palace, and the Living Yama can be spared from death!"

Bai Xin-xin's expression was cold, and her voice rang out.

"What if I let you leave the palace and you kill Gao Yang then? What should I do? I am not a fool!" Wu Zhao said heavily.

"Your Majesty, you don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me. You can only do as I say!"

For a time, Wu Zhao fell into a dilemma.

If she didn't release them, she was afraid the assassins would get angry and burn both jade and stone together. Once she released them, she was afraid the assassins would kill Gao Yang after leaving the palace!

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Gao Yang with her clear eyes. In the dark night, she could even clearly see Old Wang's dagger already piercing into Gao Yang's skin, starting to seep blood.

For some reason, thinking that there would be no more Gao Yang in the future, and she would never see Gao Yang's cheap-looking way of peeking, and he would blow by like the wind, as if he had never existed in this world, her heart, which had always been suppressed, suddenly felt a sharp pain.

This pain went deep into her heart and pierced into her bones!

She stood out and spoke to Bai Xin-xin unswervingly, "I am a female official by His Majesty's side and have grown up with His Majesty since childhood. If you are not at ease, I am willing to exchange with Lord Gao!"

"You can hold me until His Majesty's conditions satisfy you, and then you can release or kill me to silence me. How about that?" ===== CHAPTER 797 =====
