Chapter 797

"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?"

Gao Yang was hijacked by Old Wang, with a dagger placed on his neck, unable to move.

He himself knew the danger of today, but when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's words, his pupils shrank instantly, and a stormy wave surged in his heart!

Shangguan Wan'er is willing to exchange for him?

And is willing to be held outside the city, even if she is silenced by the bandits, just to exchange for his life?

He, Gao Yang, is a rotten person, whom all the officials in the world fear, with no morality to speak of, and he even hurt Shangguan Wan'er's heart, pushing her away with his own hands. But Shangguan Wan'er, at the moment his life was hanging by a thread, is willing to exchange her own life for his?

Has she gone crazy?

He, Gao Yang, has seen ugly human nature all his life and knows the selfishness of human nature. Even ants in the world try to survive, let alone people.

In the face of life, all bottom lines can be abandoned. He has seen too much and heard too much, and has even become numb.

Shangguan Wan'er...

No words could describe the feeling in Gao Yang's heart at this moment. His pair of eyes stared dead at Shangguan Wan'er's fair face, as if wanting to carve this scene deeply into his mind.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao was also full of shock.

"Wan'er!"

Shangguan Wan'er and she grew up together, and the two were like sisters.

"Your Majesty, no need to say more. This is my own choice!" Shangguan Wan'er said, looking at Wu Zhao.

From Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, Wu Zhao saw unswerving determination and absolute seriousness!

Bai Xin-xin was also shocked. She stared at Shangguan Wan'er and said unbelievably, "Are you crazy?"

Shangguan Wan'er saw that there was a chance, so she hurriedly said, "Lord Gao is extremely important to Great Qian. Using my life to exchange for Lord Gao's life is a hundred benefits and no harm to you!"

Bang!

Bai Xin-xin was so angry that she punched Gao Yang in the stomach, making a dull sound.

Gao Yang shrank his whole body in pain. He couldn't help but look at Bai Xin-xin. Is this woman sick?

For no reason, why did she punch him?

Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked, "Why hit him for no reason?"

Bai Xin-xin first looked at Gao Yang with disgust, then gritted her teeth and said fiercely to Shangguan Wan'er, "Is such a dissolute young master who listens to music in brothels every day and even received beauties from Zhao Kingdom worth you exchanging your life for his?"

"He doesn't deserve it!"

"He deserves to be hit!"

"He deserves to die ten thousand times!"

Gao Yang: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er had to say, setting aside the fact that she wanted Gao Yang's life, this punch was quite satisfying!

Old Wang was somewhat tempted, and he lowered his voice and said.

"Sect Leader, this is clearly more cost-effective. This woman seems to really be a female official by the Empress's side, called Shangguan Wan'er. If we use her as a hostage, once we leave the palace, we can still negotiate conditions with the Emperor. Why not do it?"

"If we can exchange for a large amount of resources, our sect can also grow stronger!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xin-xin was also somewhat tempted.

But she looked at Shangguan Wan'er seriously and said, "How do you prove you are Shangguan Wan'er? Do you have evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was directly stunned.

She is Shangguan Wan'er; does this need proof?

Bai Xin-xin narrowed her eyes and said directly, "She hesitated; I'm afraid there's a trick. The Empress and the Living Yama have implemented so many vicious plans. What if this is a palace maid in disguise? If we release the person, what if we are immediately pierced by ten thousand arrows?"

"Idiot, not a bit of brains!"

Old Wang was also in a cold sweat, "The Sect Leader is right; this risk cannot be taken! The Sect Leader is wise!"

Shangguan Wan'er was anxious, and she hurriedly said, "I am Shangguan Wan'er; how can I prove this?"

Bai Xin-xin shook her head, "The Living Yama is the best bargaining chip in my hand. Even if you really are Shangguan Wan'er, emperors have been heartless since ancient times. What if she doesn't care and orders us both killed? Then where would I go to cry?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked unbearable, her heart extremely anxious.

Wu Zhao looked gloomy, feeling extremely tricky.

Both sides were deadlocked.

She didn't want Gao Yang to die, but she didn't want Shangguan Wan'er to exchange, and moreover, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't be exchanged.

She herself carried the foundation of Great Qian, so that was even more impossible.

"How about this, the Empress Dowager also said Lord Gao is important and is willing to exchange herself for Lord Gao. The Empress Dowager's status is noble; how about that?"

Wu Zhao said without even blushing.

Li Long and Pan Anguo were both numb. They looked at Wu Zhao together, very shocked.

The Empress Dowager?

Bai Xin-xin's expression was strange, and she shook her head hurriedly, "Taking the Empress Dowager to exchange for a minister—does the Empress really think we are fools?"

"Then the Prime Minister?"

Wu Zhao said, unwilling to give up.

"I won't exchange anyone. If you are sensible, open the city gate quickly and let us out. I will only give the Empress three breaths of time. Once three breaths pass, I will cut a piece of meat off the Living Yama every breath!" Bai Xin-xin said coldly.

Empress Dowager Xiao was the employer. Could she, Bai Xin-xin, kidnap the employer out of the palace?

If this spread, how could she mix in the pugilistic world?

Once these words came out, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er's expressions changed.

After three breaths, cut a piece of meat off Gao Yang every breath?

Gao Yang also widened his eyes. This is not as good as just giving him a slash!

He began to struggle violently, making "woo woo" sounds in his mouth.

Old Wang sensed something wrong and said to Bai Xin-xin, "Sect Leader, this Living Yama seems to have something to say again!"

Bai Xin-xin looked impatient, and she punched Gao Yang in the stomach again.

"Noisy!"

"Be honest, don't think about playing any tricks!"

Gao Yang felt a sharp pain in his stomach, making his expression change.

He, Gao Yang, remembered this hatred. Since crossing over, no one had been able to hit him twice!

If he could survive, he would definitely repay this hatred!

But cutting his meat—this must not happen.

Moreover, he had already found a glimmer of survival from this nine-dead-one-life opportunity!

But unfortunately, these people actually blocked his mouth at the first moment.

He glanced at Old Wang's dagger, his heart hardening. He moved his neck directly toward the dagger, and a sharp pain struck, blood seeping out!

But Old Wang also discovered this difference.

His expression was full of shock.

"Sect Leader, you'd better let him say a few words; this Living Yama is bumping into the dagger in my hand!"

If this Living Yama is gone, they are definitely dead too. Surrounded by so many palace guards, being able to last three breaths is already because their own brothers' bones are hard enough.

Bai Xin-xin also turned her head and looked at Gao Yang's face full of determination.

She was also a bit scared.

"Fine, take off the towel and see what he wants to say!"

Bai Xin-xin said.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang immediately took out the towel stuffed in Gao Yang's mouth.

"Living Yama, be honest. You are not completely at a dead end."

When Li Long saw this, he immediately said to Bai Xin-xin, "I am Li Long, the Commander of the Imperial Guards. Lord Gao and I have always been good brothers and can entrust our lives to each other. I am willing to exchange for Lord Gao!"

"For the sake of this brotherhood, what does death matter?"

"If you want to kill, kill me!"

Li Long patted his chest and said in a full-voiced manner.

Wu Zhao didn't expect that Li Long could also do this for Gao Yang. How deep must this affection be!

Gao Yang looked at Li Long, who was panicked, and then he cast his gaze toward Wu Zhao. Now that there was a turning point, he couldn't fight Li Long to the death.

Of course, if he really had no way to live, Li Long would definitely have to come down and accompany him! ===== CHAPTER 799 =====
