~7 min read 1,313 words

Chen Sheng was stunned and hurriedly grabbed a soldier and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

This soldier originally wanted to get angry, but upon seeing it was the Duke of the State's mansion's carriage, he hurriedly said, "Assassins sneaked into the Imperial Palace and hijacked Lord Gao. They ran out from the Xuanwu Gate and their whereabouts are unknown. The Empress is furious and wants to search the entire Changan!"

"Lord Gao, I'm afraid..."

"Sigh!"

The soldier sighed and then left directly.

Hum!

Chen Sheng's brain was buzzing.

The soldier's voice kept echoing in his mind.

Gao Yang was hijacked by assassins and was in danger of his life!

His eyes turned red immediately, and a thick killing intent swept out.

In his mind, Gao Yang's methods from Linjiang City to every scene of him leading him flashed through his mind.

The world says Gao Yang is vicious, but he doesn't hide it.

Since following Gao Yang, his monthly salary was more than ten times that of other guards in Changan mansions, and more importantly, he was given respect!

Gao Yang gave him respect, not only teaching him various methods but also never guarding against him. Even if he didn't play in the Rouge Pavilion, he would order two for Chen Sheng.

When he embezzled money, no matter how much, he would always take some out to let him enjoy it too.

Chen Sheng was born in poverty and couldn't afford to study. People like him were destined to suffer a lot in this life.

Gao Yang pulled him out of the mud and gave him everything, and he didn't even have to worry about his wife and children. Now Gao Yang's life was hanging by a thread!

"Are these palace guards all trash?"

Creak!

Chen Sheng's fists clenched with a creaking sound, his expression extremely cold.

Thinking of the fox calls, the cyclops, the paper stuffed in the fish's belly, and the methods of bewitching people that Gao Yang had mentioned in his mind.

Chen Sheng walked away with big strides.

"If the Young Master dies, and the person behind it is the Prime Minister, then let the Prime Minister's whole family pay with their lives. If it's the Empress Dowager, then let the Empress Dowager pay with her life. If the person behind it is the Empress, then let the entire royal family pay with their lives!"

Zhao Da was also stunned.

He only felt that the sky had fallen!

He immediately rushed toward the direction of the Duke of the State's mansion.

Late at night.

The Duke of the State's mansion was peaceful.

In the room where Gao Tianlong was, candlelight dispelled the darkness. He was playing chess with Gao Feng, waiting for Gao Yang to return.

Gao Tianlong held a white piece, staring at the endgame in front of him, his brows furrowed.

Finally, he threw the white piece onto the chessboard casually.

"Not playing anymore, this old man lost."

Gao Feng was instantly stunned; he had thought Gao Tianlong would try to cheat again.

But he didn't expect Gao Tianlong not to, but instead directly gave up the piece and admitted defeat.

Gao Tianlong, who had never been defeated in Great Qian and even in the seven kingdoms, had rarely admitted defeat.

Gao Feng couldn't help but say, "Father, what is wrong with you today?"

Gao Tianlong stood up, walked to the window of the room, looked at the silent night of Changan City, and frowned.

"This old man entered the army at fifteen, fought on the battlefield, and experienced hundreds of battles, large and small. Even if I lost, I never suffered a crushing defeat. It relied on the extremely accurate premonition I had since stepping onto the battlefield!"

"This premonition saved this old man no less than dozens of times. Just now, I don't know why, but a very bad feeling suddenly welled up in my heart!"

"But this feeling doesn't know where it came from."

Gao Tianlong's voice was quiet, his eyes looking out the window extremely deep.

Gao Feng was shocked, "How could this be?"

Gao Tianlong shook his head and didn't speak.

After a while, he said, "Perhaps I am old and worrying too much."

"It's not early, go rest."

Gao Tianlong turned around and said somewhat tiredly.

Gao Feng nodded.

But just at this moment, Zhao Da's voice suddenly broke the silence of the Duke of the State's mansion.

"Old Duke, something bad has happened!"

Gao Tianlong turned his head almost instantly, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes, as if making people feel like they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

"It's Zhao Da's voice!"

"Yang'er is in trouble!"

Gao Tianlong immediately pushed open the door and walked toward the direction where Zhao Da's voice came from.

"Rebellious son, something happened?"

Gao Feng thought of this point and his expression also changed, hurriedly following!

Soon.

The two walked out, and the entire Duke of the State's mansion also had people walking out with lanterns, including Lady Li and Gao Changwen.

As soon as Zhao Da saw Gao Tianlong, he knelt on one knee and said with tears, "Old Duke, the Young Master... the Young Master was assassinated in the Imperial Palace and hijacked out of the palace by assassins. His life or death is currently unknown!"

Once these words came out.

Gao Tianlong's expression turned ugly instantly. He clenched his fists, and his killing intent surged.

Gao Feng, upon hearing the news, staggered back two steps.

"Impossible, that rebellious son is cautious by nature. I haven't even beaten him a few times recently; how could he be in trouble!"

"This must be fake!"

Gao Feng widened his eyes and directly grabbed Zhao Da by the collar.

Zhao Da's tone was bitter, "Master, this is true. It just happened in the palace. The Young Master was held by assassins, threatened the Empress, and escaped the palace. Now the Empress has ordered a city-wide search, and the streets are full of Imperial Guards!"

Lady Li had just rushed over, and upon hearing this, her eyes went black, and she almost fainted, fortunately being supported by Gao Changwen in time.

"I cannot fall, I cannot cry. My Yang'er must be fine. Crying is unlucky, crying is unlucky."

Lady Li's eyes were red, constantly repeating.

Gao Tianlong raised his eyes and said coldly, "From this moment on, search!"

"Search until you dig three feet deep!"

"Immediately take this old man's token and mobilize the Red Cavalry outside the city to search strictly around Changan, guarding against the assassins escaping Changan through tunnels!"

"Get this old man's armor; I will personally go to see the Emperor. No matter what price I have to pay, I must see the person alive or see the corpse dead!"

Gao Tianlong stood in the courtyard, making a move to leave!

Gao Feng couldn't help but say, "Father, if... if Yang'er really has an accident, then... then what should we do?"

Once these words were spoken.

Gao Tianlong's steps paused, and then he turned his head to look at Gao Feng.

"Then investigate!"

"Investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. If it's the Song family, then let the Song family pay with their lives. If it's Xu Xuanji, then let his whole family pay with their lives. If it's the Empress Dowager, then let the Empress Dowager pay with her life!"

"The Duke of the State's mansion has only one Qilin son. Whoever digs up the roots of my Duke of the State's mansion, no matter who it is, this old man will go crazy!"

Gao Tianlong thought of the Changan defense battle, Gao Yang who cursed them for not escaping, Gao Yang who ran away alone, and Gao Yang who personally guarded Changan. His eye sockets were red, and his killing intent soared to the sky!
