Text Chapter 1698 Gao Guan’s Knife

Gao Guan also raised his hand slightly, and the swords and spears held by the people behind him also dropped down.

A few steps after the three of them walked down the stairs, Gao Guan also led his people to the front, and the two sides stopped more than ten feet apart.

The two people confronted each other, one wearing a cloak and a tall hat, and the other wearing the Nine Heavens Refining Star Heavenly King robe. One was unique and the other was majestic.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and finally Kou Lingxu said calmly: "Gao Youshi suddenly came here, I don’t know what’s the matter?"

He really admired Gao Guan’s courage. At this time, he dared to run to this place surrounded by heavy soldiers and dared to kill people. He was simply impatient with life.

Gao Guan: "Your Majesty, why do you have to ask even though you know the answer? The Northern Army has arrested people from the Right Supervisory Department. The Right Supervisory Department clearly told them to release them, but the Northern Army ignored them. I had no choice but to come here in person. Please, Your Majesty, show some mercy and release my people!"

Kou Lingxu: "Is this the reason you killed my Kou family? Are your people from the Right Supervisory Department human beings, but my Kou family members are not?"

Gao Guan: "People who are loyal to Your Majesty should live well. Those who offend the majesty of heaven for their own selfishness should be killed!"

Kou Lingxu: "Gatekeeper, please ask Right Envoy Gao to stop and wait for the notification. How can this be considered an offense to the majesty of heaven? Whose door can be trespassed at will?"

Gao Guan: "I showed Your Majesty's token when I was traveling in outer space. Didn't the Kou Mansion know? Still blocking me, what else could it be if not an offense to the majesty of heaven? Your Majesty has issued an order that I, holding the token, can go anywhere except the Heavenly Palace once the case is needed. They all went. Could it be that the prince thinks that the Kou Mansion is special and can override the will of heaven? "

Kou Lingxu chuckled and said, "This decree is just what you, the Right Envoy Gao, said. Who knows whether it is true or false? Anyway, this prince has never heard the decree of His Majesty in person."

Gao Guan said calmly, "Since the prince is pretending to be confused, it's easy to say. You might as well contact His Majesty in person to confirm it now."

Kou Lingxu didn't take this up, "Your people from the Right Supervisory Department ran to my Northern Army's important place and acted sneakily. Can't they be caught?"

Gao Guan: "The prince's army is gathering. The intention is unclear. The Right Supervisory Department has the responsibility to investigate and collect evidence. But the prince detained the people from the Right Supervisory Department. Is there something shameful that the Right Supervisory Department cannot know?"

Kou Lingxu sneered, "What shameful things can this prince have?"

"This envoy suspects that the prince wants to rebel!" Gao Guan said bluntly.

Tang Henian and Kou Zheng's faces turned cold after hearing this. Kou Lingxu raised his eyebrows, his eyes piercing, and said: "Right Envoy Gao, don't talk nonsense. If I want to rebel, can you still stand here alive?"

Gao Guan: "That's why we have to investigate. That's why the Right Department sent people to secretly investigate and collect evidence. If the prince is not guilty, why do you hold the spy of the Right Department? Release him. I will take him back and verify it, and I will naturally prove whether the prince is innocent or not. What do you think, prince?"

Kou Lingxu: "As expected of Right Envoy Gao, who has been in charge of torture for a long time, you are really eloquent."

Gao Guan: "It doesn't matter whether being eloquent is a compliment or criticism, at least Gao never talks nonsense! Prince, let him go."

Kou Lingxu slightly tilted his head towards Tang Henian, "Ask if the person is still alive."

This is a meaningful statement. Tang Henian's eyes flashed, knowing that the prince wanted to hand over a dead person to Gao Guan.

But who is Gao Guan? As Kou Lingxu said himself, Gao Guan has been in charge of torture for a long time. He was very sensitive to the slightest clues. Before Tang Henian could reply, he interrupted and said, "It's better to hand over the living person to me to take back. Otherwise, there will be trouble in Kou's mansion today."

If he waited for Tang Henian's reply, the answer would definitely be that he was dead. Even if he was alive, it would be difficult to change his words. The only person he handed over was a dead person.

Kou Lingxu: "What you said, Gao Youshi, is unreasonable. If you catch someone, you must interrogate him. If you kill him during the interrogation, I don't have the skills to bring him back to life. It's normal to accidentally kill someone by trespassing into the important area of ​​the Northern Army. Gao Youshi's force is meaningless. If you have any opinions, you can report to your majesty."

Gao Guan replied directly, "Does the prince want to rebel?"

This was too sensitive to say in public. Everyone who could hear it was terrified.

Kou Lingxu's face turned cold, "Right Envoy Gao. Some hats cannot be put on randomly."

Gao Guan: "I only ask one question, will the prince allow me to bring the living back?"

Kou Lingxu sneered, "What if the prince doesn't give it to me?"

Gao Guan lifted the cloak behind him with both arms, shook his hands in the air, and had already grabbed two long swords in his hands, with the tips of the swords facing the sky and crossed in front of his chest.

These two long swords are different from the usual long swords. The swords are more than half a foot long, and the blades are narrow and long, like two long swords, but they are indeed swords. The blades are simple and crude, but red, red and transparent. One blade is full of carvings of stormy waves, and the other blade is full of thunder and storm.

The blade is bright red in the sun, slightly reflecting light, as if emitting a red halo.

"Yingying..." The blades of the two swords crossed in front of the chest are grinding and unfolding, making a clear and reverberating low hum, which is pleasant to the ear.

Gao Guan spread out his two swords with both arms. With a "ding" sound, the blades gently touched the ground. He slowly pointed the other sword forward, the blades pointed at Kou Lingxu's eyebrows. The cloak behind him fluttered without wind.

The more than one hundred people behind him quickly raised their weapons. They looked cold on the surface, but they were secretly frightened. Is the right envoy going to attack Kou Lingxu?

Even Gao Guan, who never showed his weapons easily, showed his sword! The Kou family members watching from a distance changed their expressions. Is it really going to come to that?

With a wave of the sword, the group of people rushed over and surrounded the group. On the steps above, another group of armored soldiers rushed over, one by one pulling the broken bow, aiming at Gao Guan and others below.

Staring at the blade pointed by Gao Guan, Kou Lingxu narrowed his eyes slightly, Gao Guan's knife!

Tang Henian, who was standing behind Kou Lingxu, also subconsciously clenched his fists and stared at Gao Guan's blade.

Sima Wentian's sword and Gao Guan's knife may not mean anything to the younger generation, but for those who have witnessed the world hegemony in the early years, they know how terrifying these two people who followed Qingzhu are. They are known as the "sword and sword double masters". I don't know how many souls died under these swords and swords, and they have made great contributions to Qingzhu's conquest of the world.

After the establishment of the Heavenly Court, Gao Guan's knife has rarely been shown due to his duties. For example, the children of the Kou family present all saw Gao Guan's knife and Gao Guan's weapon for the first time.

Pointing at the blade, Gao Guan said indifferently, "Before the Right Supervisory Department sent this spy, they had received a report saying that the prince intended to rebel. And before this spy fell into the hands of the prince, he had also sent a message back to the Right Supervisory Department, saying that there was a major discovery. The person asked me to take him back alive, so that I could find out what the major discovery was, which would prove the innocence of the prince. If the prince insists on handing over a dead person to the Right Supervisory Department, then I have reason to suspect that the prince wants to kill and silence him! I have known the prince for many years, and the prince should know that Gao Guan has always handled official affairs impartially. As a last resort, I have to ask the prince to go back to the Right Supervisory Department with me to assist in the investigation! Gao's knife has not seen blood for many years, and I hope the prince will not force me!"

Even the knife that has not been shown for a long time has been revealed, and his attitude is very clear, and there is no room for maneuver.

Kou Lingxu stared at him for a long time, and the two looked at each other, neither avoiding each other.

At this moment, everyone around was nervous. Even a fool knew that Gao Guan just wanted someone, and everything else was just an excuse, but this supervisory right envoy was so cruel that he could really turn excuses into reality. For most people, the cold-faced judge was not a reasonable person, but a mad dog that bit people around Qingzhu!

Anyone who talks to Gao Guan, who can always use tiger skin as a banner, will suffer! So in the end, Kou Lingxu gave in and said slowly: "It's really a big hat! Gao Youshi's tricks are really well-deserved... Old Tang, give him the person!"

Gao Guan didn't take his sarcasm seriously, and the blade pointed directly to the ground and waited.

Not long after, two armored soldiers dragged in a tattered, tortured and bloody person from outside Kou's mansion. It was none other than Pei Mo, who killed Xiahou Longcheng with his own hands. His bare bones could no longer stand on the ground, but he was still alive.

Pei Mo, who was in a miserable state, looked up at Gao Guan, especially when he saw the two knives in Gao Guan's hand, he probably guessed that they were for him. Gao Youshi's knife was a legend in the Right Supervisory Department, and Pei Mo looked a little excited.

Gao Guan looked back and tilted his head slightly, and immediately two people came to take Pei Mo over.

Swish! The two knives were raised and turned, and then put away. Gao Guan bowed to Kou Lingxu and said, "Please forgive me for disturbing you! I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

"I'm sorry I can't see you off!" Kou Lingxu snorted coldly, "I hope Gao Youshi will ask about any major discoveries and give me an answer."

"Of course." Gao Guan agreed, flicked his cloak, turned around, and led a group of people away.

Kou Lingxu stood with his hands behind his back, watching Gao Guan's departing figure. He could not tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy. He naturally knew that Gao Guan would not be able to give him an answer that he was rebelling, but today's incident made him a little embarrassed. So many people, including the children of the Kou family, were watching him, and they all saw that he was forced to bow his head by Gao Guan.

But was he really afraid of Gao Guan? If he started fighting, he would ensure that none of Gao Guan and Gao Guan's people would leave alive, but he still endured it after all.

If it were normal, he would really not give Gao Guan this face. He was so rampant that he even came to his palace to kill! But the current situation is extremely sensitive. If he really wants to deal with Gao Guan, he will be charged with rebellion even if he doesn't want to rebel. The situation that has finally calmed down will be disturbed again. It's not worth it!

He even sighed when he thought about it. The Xiahou family, which was secretly playing tricks with the four kings, forced Qingzhu to give in. Qingzhu had to give in in order to stabilize the overall situation of the world. But Kou Lingxu encountered a mad dog like Gao Guan, and was forced to give in by Gao Guan. He had to give in for the sake of the overall stability of the Kou family's interests.

He didn't want to care whether this was a case of one thing conquering another, so he turned around and left with his hands behind his back. (To be continued.)
