Gu Pan Lanling

Although Gao Changgong's tone was not hurried or slow.However, that icy Shura mask gave people the fear of being in hell.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, please forgive me... Your Highness, please forgive me..."

The bones of the entire arm were almost broken by Gao Changgong, Liu Taiwei's whole body twitched in pain, and he kept begging Gao Changgong for mercy.

Gao Changgong leaned over slightly, picked up Taiwei Liu's sword from the ground, pulled out the scabbard, looked at the cold blade lightly, and said in a calm voice as if he had never been angry, "I want you to My king forgive you?"

"Your Highness...as long as you are willing to forgive me this time, I will definitely...speak kindly to the emperor..."

"Ah."

There was a cold sneer under the mask.

"If Your Highness can't trust you, you can swear..."

Gao Changgong stood up slowly, his eyes swept across the blade coolly, then the blade suddenly turned, and the blade pointed straight at Liu Taiwei's neck.

"Your Highness...what do you mean? The officials are panicked..."

"Do you really think that this king dare not kill you?"

Liu Taiwei's legs trembled, the blade pointed at him was extremely sharp.

This can be said to cut iron like mud with his saber.

If Gao Changgong exerted a little force, Liu Taiwei's head would be moved.

"Your Majesty really didn't mean to offend your staff, Your Highness, are you really going to kill me for a small staff?

It is not cost-effective for you to do this, he is an aide, how can he compare with the lower officials, if His Highness is willing to make friends with the lower officials, in the future, the lower officials in the court will definitely follow His Highness's lead..."

"Pretty words, have you said enough?"

"Your Majesty is just telling the truth. Your Highness is a smart person, so he will naturally understand how it is beneficial to His Highness."

"This king naturally knows what this king wants, you don't need to tell me."

After Gao Changgong finished speaking, Taiwei Liu looked happy. It seemed that Gao Changgong was moved by his persuasion.

Immediately, a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Your Highness is wise, the officials and righteous brothers will do their best to cooperate with His Highness..."

"You may have misunderstood what this king means." "Huh?""

Gao Changgong's hand holding the sword suddenly tilted, and Liu Taiwei's neck was instantly cut open.

Bright red blood spilled out.

Liu Taiwei was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Your Highness, don't, don't kill me... You, I can give you whatever you want... Don't kill me... Don't kill me..."

"Can you give me anything?"

"Anything is fine, as long as His Highness bypasses Xiao's life, money, beauty, everything will be given to you..."

"Ah."

"Your Highness... Your Majesty is serious..."

"This king is also serious. It's just that I don't care about the money and beauties you promised my king."

"Then, what do you want, Your Highness? As long as it is within the power of the lower officials, I will do my best to achieve it for Your Highness...as long as your Highness spares your life..."

"Since you are so sincere, this king will help you. As long as you cut off your arms and legs, this king will spare you."

"Your Highness, why do you have to do this..."

"Why? I want this king to help you." Gao Changgong's voice turned cold, "Don't blame this king for not reminding you. If this king makes a move, it may be as simple as breaking off a hand and a foot. Are you sure?"

"Your officer... come by yourself..."

"In that case, Taiwei Liu please."

Gao Changgong took the sword from Liu Taiwei's neck with a sneer, and handed it to Liu Taiwei.

Taiwei Liu took the sword with trembling hands.

However, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and the sword in his hand suddenly stabbed at Gao Changgong.

"Gao Changgong! You are too deceitful! Go to hell!"

"Heh." Gao Changgong seemed to have expected Liu Taiwei to do this for a long time, when the sword stabbed towards him, he had already slashed at Liu Taiwei's heart with one step and one palm.

"Clang..."

At the same time as the sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, Taiwei Liu fell straight down.

Blood was still gushing out of his mouth.

Gao Changgong didn't even look at the dying Liu Taiwei, but turned his head to look at the thin and disheveled man lying on the ground.

There was a hint of anger in the eyes under the mask.

"Do it yourself."

He took the robe and put it on Gu Zimo's body, hugged Gu Zimo, turned around and walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, outside the door Su Zhe had already dealt with the servants of Taiwei Liu.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Su Zhe was afraid that His Highness might make a mistake, after all, His Highness was only seriously injured.

He looked at Gao Changgong nervously, and saw that Gao Changgong had no other injuries except his clothes were slightly wrinkled.

Looking inside, when he saw Liu Taiwei's body, Su Zhe's face turned pale instantly, "Your Highness, did you kill Liu Taiwei?"

"Ah."

"This...he is the prime minister's brother-in-law, and the power is in the hands of the government... Originally, there was a rift between His Highness and His Majesty. If Liu Taiwei's death is blamed on His Highness, this... I'm afraid it will be detrimental to His Highness. ..."

"I insulted the king's staff, shouldn't he die?"

"I don't mean that, it's just that he shouldn't die in Your Highness's territory, it will give others something to say."

"This matter is my own decision. When Gu Zimo wakes up, ask him to hand over the blood book. I will hand over other matters to Hu Luxuda."

"It turns out that your Highness, you have already made a decision, and it's because I'm worrying too much..."

Gao Changgong said nothing, and walked slowly towards the main entrance of Yinggeyuan.

When Gu Zimo woke up, he was actually at Gu's house.

He hasn't looked back at home for a long time.

Familiar yard, familiar furnishings, but no familiar parents.

I got up and walked around the yard, but didn't see anyone else.

Strange, what happened after he passed out in Yinggeyuan that night?

My mind went blank, and I couldn't remember what happened at all.

After hesitating for a moment, he planned to visit Chang Qing.

I don't know if Taiwei Liu made things difficult for Changqing.

It's not good for me to do things myself, I'm afraid Chang Qing's...

When I arrived at Changqing Cloth Shop, I saw Changqing staring blankly at the counter.

"Little Qingzi..."

"Zimo? Why are you here?"

"I promised you to ask Gao Changgong to let him deal with Liu Taiwei. Unexpectedly, he refused. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you..."

Gu Zimo lowered his head, looking ashamed of Chang Qing.

Chang Qing looked at Gu Zimo's appearance, but got up with a smile and helped Gu Zimo to the chair, "Did you drink too much and you haven't woken up yet?"

"I didn't drink..."

"Don't tell me about Taiwei Liu's death, you don't know."

"What did you say? Taiwei Liu, he, is dead?"

Gu Zimo's eyes widened suddenly, "He, he, is he really dead?"

Before he passed out that night, Taiwei Liu clearly...

"Why am I lying to you? He is really dead. The body has probably been transported back to Yecheng."

"How...how did he die?"

Gu Zimo was suddenly worried, if Liu Taiwei's body was found in Yinggeyuan.So, wouldn't one's actions be exposed?

"I heard that he was killed by bandits."

"Bandits?" Gu Zimo remembered that the bandits outside the city had already been suppressed by Gao Changgong.

"Zimo, do you think it was really the work of bandits?"

Gu Zimo didn't know exactly what was going on, "It should, right."

If it wasn't for the bandits, he couldn't think of anyone who was so bold as to kill the imperial court official.

"I heard that those bandits who killed Liu Taiwei were wiped out overnight by His Royal Highness Lanling. Revenge."

"Hmph! Gao Changgong knows how to take advantage of loopholes! This time, if it wasn't for bandits, would he be able to take such a big deal? Now he must rush to His Majesty to claim credit!"

Hearing this, Chang Qing shook his head, "Zimo, you still see things too shallowly."

"I only know that now your crisis is resolved, and the big rock in my heart can be considered to be on the ground!"

Gu Zimo stretched his waist with a relaxed expression, "Shall we two have a drink?"

"Another day, Zimo, you have more important things to do now."

"what's up?"

"Although Liu Taiwei died, his righteous brother is the current prime minister, and even the current emperor listens to him, and the prime minister has always been jealous of His Royal Highness Lanling King. Died in His Highness's territory, do you think that the Prime Minister will let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with His Highness Lanling?"

"This……"

"The key I gave you, have you kept it safe?"

"Yes, I'll bring it to you."

"No, you hand this thing over to His Royal Highness King Lanling, and he should know how to do it."

"Give it to Gao Changgong?"

"Actually, there is a list in that blood book. If it can be presented to the Supreme Emperor. Then, even if His Majesty was bewitched by the prime minister to harm His Highness, the Supreme Emperor will excuse His Royal Highness Lanling."

"I do not want to go."

"Zi Mo..."

"I went to beg Gao Changgong that day, but he actually refused me, he didn't treat me as his own at all, he didn't even want to save you, so I don't want to care about his life.

If the prime minister wants to deal with him, let Gao Changgong take care of it himself.Anyway, I no longer intend to continue to be his aide. "

"Zimo, are you really confused or fake? Do you really think that Liu Taiwei's military strength can be handled by that mere bandit?"

Chang Qing's words made Gu Zimo confused.

"Didn't you just say that it was Taiwei Liu who was killed by bandits?"

"This is the official response given by the officials in the city. Do you believe the truth is true?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Although King Lanling rejected you on the surface, he should still make a move. Zimo, you should treat it for me. Don't play childish temper with King Lanling. This time the involvement is too big. If If we can't pre-emptively strike, His Royal Highness Lanling will really fall into a passive situation, and I'm afraid that the people of the entire Yongcheng will not be able to escape the revenge of the treacherous. Such a situation is definitely not what you and I want to see."

"I see……"

Leaving from Chang Qing, Gu Zimo rode directly to the other courtyard.

When he arrived at the other courtyard, Su Zhe seemed to be waiting for him.

"Master Gu, you are back."

"His Highness, is he there?"

"Here I am."

"Master Su, there is something that Zimo wants to ask you."

"Master Gu, please tell me."

"About Liu Taiwei's death, is it really the bandits? Or is it His Highness..."

At this moment, Gu Zimo's mood suddenly became indescribably tense.

He hoped it was Gao Changgong and hoped it wasn't.

If it was Gao Changgong, how should he thank Gao Changgong for his saving grace?
