Chapter 822: Gao Tianlong's determination, Gao Yang's gratitude

Gao Changwen had no idea that Gao Yang had appeared behind him. He took his hand off the coffin, looked up at the sky, and scratched his left hand with his right while continuing to lament.

"Difficult!"

"Really difficult!"

Seeing Gao Yang, Xie Anran couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, "Lord Gao!"

Hearing this, Gao Changwen looked puzzled.

He spoke while turning his head, "Family Head Xie, look, you're hallucinating. This must be because Brother is dissatisfied with you. My brother loved silver most during his lifetime. You move ten or eight boxes of silver and give them to me. When Brother comes to me in a dream, I will tell him, so he won't pester you."

"After all, I have already prepared poison to lead the Mohist disciples to kill that Cui Xinghe to avenge Brother. Brother will definitely give me some face."

After saying these words, Gao Changwen turned his head back.

He suddenly discovered that a very tall figure had appeared in front of him, and that huge shadow was enveloping him.

In an instant, Gao Changwen was shocked.

"Bro... Brother..."

"It hasn't even been seven days since you died, why have you returned?"

Gao Changwen's voice began to tremble.

The next second.

Slap!

Gao Yang slapped him directly.

He said with a dark face, "If it weren't for the fact that you still have a bit of conscience in that last sentence, your brother would have almost planned to clean up the family portal!"

Intense pain!

And a warm palm!

"Brother, you're not dead!"

Gao Changwen didn't mind the slap at all, flew directly toward Gao Yang, and hugged him.

Gao Yang even felt that his shoulder was a bit wet.

His body stiffened, and he made no other movements.

Gao Changwen might have been crying from the pain.

He said this to himself in his heart.

"Alright, a real man sheds blood but not tears; crying and wailing like a woman!"

"Get off, your brother still needs to see Grandfather and Father!"

Gao Yang felt a bit unnatural and said in a deep voice.

Gao Changwen hurriedly pulled away and wiped the corners of his eyes. "I can't help it, Brother's slap was really too painful."

Gao Yang ignored Gao Changwen directly. He turned to look at Xie Anran and said to her, "Family Head Xie, I've let you see a joke."

Xie Anran smiled brightly, "It's good that Lord Gao is fine. The Second Young Master was just speaking casually; perhaps he doesn't like the sad atmosphere."

She scanned Gao Yang's entire body, shocked beyond measure.

Gao Yang didn't even have a single injury on him, and his official robe was extremely clean. How did he look like someone who had been in trouble?

As expected of Lord Gao, this is too heaven-defying!

These past few days, she had also investigated the Heartless Sect, which was a group of people who killed without blinking and were known for being heartless.

But Gao Yang was not only completely fine, even the corner of his clothes wasn't messy.

"Family Head Xie, don't take my younger brother's words to heart. If you really need to control the quality, just send these hundred or so beauties to this official's room."

"He is too young and cannot handle it; let this official do it!"

Xie Anran: "..."

Confirmed, they are biological brothers!

After dismissing Xie Anran and ordering her to keep it a secret, Gao Yang took Gao Changwen and headed toward the room where Gao Tianlong was.

Along the way, the servants saw Gao Yang and, although shocked, because Old Fu had greeted them and because of Gao Yang's "shush" gesture, they all swallowed their words.

Even the soldiers not far from Gao Tianlong's door remained silent.

Gao Yang stood outside the door very smoothly.

Inside the room.

Gao Tianlong, Gao Feng, Lu Zhen, and Zhao Ponu were gathered together.

Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng could not hide their haggardness, and even their eyes had red bloodshot veins; clearly, they hadn't slept well these past few days.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Four days, a full four days have passed, but there is still no news of the brat!"

"This must be ominous; he has fallen into a trap!"

Gao Tianlong looked as if he had aged ten years. At this moment, he had none of the demeanor of the head of the six great Dukes of Da Qian; he was like a helpless old man at the end of his life who had lost his beloved grandson.

He closed his eyes in pain.

Seeing Gao Tianlong's appearance, Lu Zhen also felt very heartbroken.

Gao Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Those bastards of the Heartless Sect, they hid too deeply; this was clearly prepared in advance!"

"Killing my Yang'er, this old man will fight them to the death in this life, until one side is extinct!"

Gao Feng slapped the table, a rare loss of composure, a sky-high killing intent and anger erupting in his eyes.

Lu Zhen knew the state of mind of Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng at this moment, so he didn't say much more.

For a time, the room fell into silence.

After a long while, Zhao Ponu said, "Old Duke, you were too impulsive a few days ago."

"Her Majesty is of ten thousand gold, her status is noble, and she also values Lord Gao highly. Although the old Duke is a veteran of three dynasties and Her Majesty understands the pain of losing a grandson and didn't mind, as a subject, you still... still need to pay attention!"

"Although Commander Li and Commander Pan have shallow qualifications, they are also favorites in front of Her Majesty. If the brat hadn't had an accident, slapping them would be fine, but now, it's hard to guarantee they won't harbor resentment, which will be trouble in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianlong's eyes, which were already scarlet, suddenly filled with killing intent.

He slapped the table and stared at Zhao Ponu and Lu Zhen, saying, "So my eldest grandson is gone, and I still have to be like a tortoise? You won't even let me go crazy?"

"If Her Majesty feels offended, she can ransack my Duke's Mansion and exterminate my family. My Duke's Mansion has no shame toward Da Qian. As for Li Long and that Pan Anguo, in the dignified palace, assassins publicly assassinated—I know my grandson's caution! These two deserve to be beaten!"

"If they are not convinced, if they want revenge, this old man will take it!"

Lu Zhen and Zhao Ponu fell silent upon hearing this. Gao Tianlong then said coldly, "This matter is far from over!"

With one sentence, Lu Zhen and Zhao Ponu looked up in astonishment.

Gao Tianlong said with cold eyes, "This old man has investigated; the Heartless Sect assassinated in the palace, from Longgui Garden to Xuanwu Gate, the route was precise!"

"There must be someone behind this. The biggest possibility is the Empress Dowager, followed by the Prime Minister, Lu Wen, and Wang Zhong!"

"If the power struggle is inferior to others, and the means in the court are inferior to others, this old man will say nothing, but I absolutely cannot tolerate such means!"

"For this matter, the Heartless Sect must be responsible, and the mastermind behind the scenes must also be responsible. If they can be investigated, then one person will be responsible; if they cannot be investigated, then I will transfer my former personal guards into Changan City. As long as I am not dead for one day, I will take their lives!" ===== CHAPTER 824 =====
