"It's over, it's over... So many people died... How am I going to explain this to His Royal Highness the King of Chu later..." Just as Quan Gaisuwen was about to let out his signature "hehehe" laugh that only villains have, Yuan Tiangang walked in from outside with his hands folded in his sleeves, looking worried: "How come you acted so quickly?"

"You are..." Quan Gaisuwen was stunned when he saw Yuan Tiangang coming in alone, and then he felt that the other person looked very familiar: "King Chu's man?"

"Hey, old man, are you okay?" Yuan Tiangang didn't even bother to respond to Quan Gaisuwen's question. Anyway, everyone was destined to fall out today, so he was naturally more concerned about the Goguryeo leader.

"I'm fine... who are you?" This elder brother was not stupid. Just from Quan Gaisuwen's questions and Yuan Tiangang's reaction, he realized that he seemed to still have a glimmer of hope.

"I am a retainer of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu of the Tang Dynasty." Yuan Tiangang said as he walked up to the old man and pulled him up from the ground. "This time I came here, firstly to kill Quan Gaisuwen's father, the red-faced old man opposite you, and secondly to protect lucky people like you from escaping from Yuan Mansion. After all, after His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu chopped off Gao Jianwu's head, we still need you and your followers to continue the dog-eat-dog fight with Quan Gaisuwen..."

"..."

Gangzi is Gangzi. When he said this, everyone present fell silent.

"You are too lazy to pretend, right?" After a long while, Quan Gaisuwen was the first to break the silence: "As expected of a retainer of His Majesty the King of Chu... You are as arrogant as your master..."

"Pa!" Suddenly, Yuan Taizuo, who was standing next to Quan Gaisuwen, raised his hand and slapped his son: "Rebellious son! This is all your fault!"

"Father..." Quan Gaisuwen, who was slapped on the face, looked coldly at Yuan Taizuo who suddenly became furious, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "When my son decided to kill these ministers who were against our Yuan family, you didn't say a word!"

"The King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty wanted to assassinate Your Majesty, why didn't you mention it at all?!" Yuan Taizuo really regretted it now - as a veteran of two dynasties, he had seen too many power struggles, so he knew too well what the consequences would be for Quan Gaisuwen's actions.

"Father, I lied to you about the question you asked me last time." Quan Gaisuwen frowned slightly when he heard this: "From the day Yun'er entered the palace, your stupid and naive son has been dead! - Killed by your ambition and Gao Jianwu's desire!"

"What do you mean by that?!" Yuan Taizuo was shocked at first, then he realized: "You know everything?"

"How could my son not know?" Hearing this, Quan Gai Su Wen sneered, "You compromised with Gao Jianwu's decision to force Yun Er to be his concubine in order to let Jing Tu (Su Wen's younger brother) marry Gao Zang's (Gao Jianwu's younger brother) daughter. Your exchange of interests has ruined my life!"

"What do you know?! What do you know!" - Seeing that his most secret thoughts were exposed by his son, Yuan Taizuo was immediately furious and shouted: "Although we are old friends with the Fang family, by the time of Fang Yun's father, the Fang family had long been loyal to the royal family! Do you think Gao Jianwu forced Fang Yun to be his concubine? Do you know... she was willing to do it -"

"That's enough!" Quan Gaisuwen felt that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart: "Father, you——"

"Shh..." It happened so quickly that Quan Gaisuwen was about to open his mouth to refute his father, but the next moment, he watched his father fall in a pool of blood.

Yuan Tiangang used the gold ingot that the butler handed back to him as a hidden weapon and pierced Yuan Taizuo's throat.

"Ahem... Heh..." Yuan Taizuo covered his bloody neck with his hand. He wanted to say something, but could only utter some meaningless syllables. Finally, with strong reluctance and worry, he glanced at his son who was still in shock...

"Bang!" This powerful official of Goguryeo finally fell in a pool of blood.

"Let's go, old man." After killing the man, Yuan Tiangang grabbed the arm of Taixiong, who was now stunned, and pretended to run away.

"Someone come! Kill him! Kill him!" Quan Gaisu Wen finally reacted. He roared that Yuan Tiangang should pay for his father's life. He drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards Yuan Tiangang.

"Alas..." Yuan Tiangang, who had been slacking off beside His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for too long, was too lazy to pretend at this moment: "Quan Gaisuwen, ten of you are not enough for me to fight for two rounds, how dare you wail at me?"

As soon as Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, a team of Yuan Mansion guards rushed in with sharp blades in their hands.

"Kill!" The Yuan family was one of the most powerful families in Goguryeo and also controlled the military, so the generals in their mansion were naturally very skilled.

But whether they are vulgar or not depends on who they are facing.

"A bunch of fools." Seeing that they were about to be attacked from both sides, Yuan Tiangang first pushed his elder brother aside, then stood still, raised his arms slightly, and chanted one of the nine Taoist mantras: "Formation!" (Note 1)

"Wow..." The next moment, Quan Gaisuwen and the generals of the Yuan family, who were originally attacking Yuan Tiangang, suddenly felt as if they were trapped in an abyss, sinking continuously. The weapons in their hands were even heavier than a thousand pounds, and soon, they all fell out of their hands and fell to the ground. At the same time, Yuan Tiangang, who was only a few steps away from them, his figure suddenly became illusory, giving people a feeling that he was clearly close at hand, but as untouchable as a mirage.

"Zhe!" Yuan Tiangang uttered the word again.

"Dang... Dang..." In a flash, Quan Gaisuwen and his generals fell to the ground. They wanted to get up, but they were like being pressed down by a huge rock, unable to move at all.

"Old man, let's go." - Yuan Tiangang, who had used some of his best skills today, shook his sleeves and said, "Remember not to tell anyone about what happened today."

"..." The elder brother was completely numb: "Your Excellency... are you an immortal?"

"Have you read Baopuzi?" Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly when he heard this: "There are many people in this world who yearn for our Taoist secret arts, but only a few can enter this school. But it is really not a sideshow."

"..." Upon hearing this, Taixiong lowered his head silently and said nothing more.

Soon, the two men left the lobby.

Then, Yuan Tiangang stopped again.

"...Your Highness...Your Highness actually cares about me so much..." Yuan Tiangang, who originally thought it would take some effort to get out of Yuan Mansion, looked at the black-clothed men who gathered in front of him from all directions. He suddenly felt that he had always been around His Highness the Prince of Chu, and that he was more or less a little heartless...
