After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 126: Encirclement and Killing

But after Gao Mu placed her in the abandoned hospital, she disappeared.

Yuan Qing had a rough idea of where he had gone.

Gao Mu would not come to see her until he figured out what happened in Yuzhou, so she might as well just wait here and wait for Gao Mu to come to her in person.

Sure enough, after just a few hours, Gao Mu could no longer hold back and stormed into the yard angrily.

The deaf-mute maidservant who was serving beside her was so frightened that she spilled her tea and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Mu would definitely whip him as a punishment.

But now he was full of anxiety, and without even looking, he strode past the maid and walked into the house.

"What exactly do you want to do in Yuzhou?" Gao Mu pulled Yuan Qing up from the ground.

Yuan Qing was caught off guard by his sudden pull, and the flower branch she had just arranged in her hand broke.

She suddenly felt it was a pity, so she bent down to pick up the broken branch, found an empty space nearby, and replanted it.

She patted the dirt off her hands and looked at Gao Mu, "Why did Master Gao come back so soon?"

There was an obvious smile on his face, and he showed no sign of being afraid of him at all. Even though he was trapped here, he was still relaxed and contented.

"Don't waste my patience. I don't have time to play with you." Gao Mu pinched her chin and looked down at her from a close distance.

Yuan Qing put away her smile and let him pinch her. Her clear eyes looked at him calmly, "What do you want?"

In the woman's eyes, Gao Mu clearly saw himself angry and out of control.

He knew that he was upset because of her again and again, which was not a good thing.

It was almost night, there was no candlelight in the yard, only an old tree that had been dead for many years.

The two men were in a stalemate, neither willing to back down.

Gao Mu bent down, carried Yuan Qing on his shoulders, jumped over the wall, and ran across the rooftops at night.

The blood and energy instantly rushed to the top of his head. Yuan Qing endured the dizziness and wanted to pinch him with his nails, but the armor he wore inside blocked it and could not touch his flesh.

Gao Mu ran very fast carrying her. When he noticed that the woman on his shoulder was no longer moving, he stopped, jumped off the roof, and found a step to put the woman down.

He turned to look at her, "Are you done making trouble?"

"Why don't you try being carried like this?!" Yuan Qing's eyes were blazing with anger, but the dizziness made her words weak and powerless. "You can take me anywhere, but can we try another way?"

Yuan Qing's show of weakness made Gao Mu seem to regain the feeling of controlling others.

He also wanted to rest here for a while, so he squatted down and looked at her and said, "How about holding her?"

Yuan Qing paused with his hand on his chest, glanced at him, and said coldly: "That's not necessary, I have legs, I can walk by myself."

Gao Mu was worried about letting her go alone.

The two negotiated for a while, and finally, at Gao Mu's strong request, Yuan Qing had his hands tied with ropes and was led by him.

Yuan Qing didn't expect that the place Gao Mu took the initiative to bring her to was actually Gao's Mansion.

Have you finally found this place?

Yuan Qing was a little excited inside.

To be honest, she really wanted to see Gao Mu's expression after he knew everything, to see if it was the same as she imagined.

Gao Mu was much taller than her. When she tilted her head back, she could only see the back of the man's head covered by black hair.

Although he looked thin, Yuan Qing, who had had close contact with him, knew that this man was actually a martial artist with strong and powerful muscles. If a conflict arose, ordinary people would not be able to deal with him.

It would be great if the young guard was here. With his abilities, he might be able to fight against Gao Mu and even gain the upper hand.

Old Madam Gao had already been placed in the inner courtyard and was looked after by maids.

It is said to be looking after, but in fact it is just guarding.

Gao Yi knew how much his mother valued this "brother" who came back halfway.

Tonight's game is not only to expose Gao Mu's true identity, but also to eliminate this potential hidden danger.

There was no sound when Gao Mu entered the yard, but the moment he landed, lights in the entire yard lit up one after another, and Gao Yi walked out of the house surrounded by guards.

The two brothers finally stood on opposite sides openly.

Being surrounded by enemies, Yuan Qing in Gao Mu's hand is the most important life-saving talisman.

He moved his palm up and grabbed her neck with force, threateningly: "Brother, you know nothing about my abilities."

His casual attitude made Gao Yi hesitate.

He really had never fully understood this man who had assumed the identity of the youngest son of the Gao family.

Besides, he now has Concubine Qing in his hand, so even if it was planned long ago, he couldn't afford to take the risk.

Gao Yi raised his hand and waved away the guards.

Before he knew his purpose, he had truly loved this younger brother who was born to the same mother.

But now, he did not feel the slightest bit of reluctance to give up, all he felt was disappointment and determination after being deceived.

Maybe he is cold-blooded at heart.

Last night, after hearing the truth, my mother scolded me all night, saying that even if he was not the real Gao Mu, ordinary people would have feelings for a dog, let alone a human.

He also said that he would be punished in the future for being so cruel.

His mother's madness had not yet been cured, so he did not want to explain. He just ordered people to lock her in the main room behind him.

Even if his mother hated him, even if he was branded as unfilial and unrighteous from now on, he wanted to let others see the man's evil ambitions.

He did it for the Gao family and for Yuzhou, he did nothing wrong.

He calmed himself down and walked towards Gao Mu holding the lantern.

The guards around him stopped him, "Master..."

It's not that Gao Yi is not on guard, but he wants to meet that person face to face.

"Gao Yi."

This was the first time that Gao Mu did not address the person in front of him as the youngest son of the Gao family.

Gao Yi nodded slightly in response.

He was still three steps away from the man. If Gao Mu abandoned Yuan Qing and came to capture him at this moment, he would not be able to escape.

The courtyard was silent and solemn.

Gao Mu looked around the courtyard and spoke first: "You are so heartless, you don't care about your brotherhood at all--"

"Shut up!" Gao Yi smashed the lamp, his elegant and handsome face gloomy, "My real brother is talented and has a noble character. How can a villain like you compare to him?!"

He always remembered that Xiaomu was very smart since he was a child.

Their father hired a teacher to teach the two brothers, but he was stupid and could never understand as quickly as his younger brother. He hid in his room every day to study hard, but he didn't dare let anyone know, for fear that others would laugh at his stupidity.

Perhaps Xiaomu knew about this at the time, and from then on he would come to his room to review his lessons under various pretexts. Whenever he encountered something difficult to understand, he would come to him with the book in his arms.

Gradually, he found the trick, and even more advanced knowledge could be read more fluently.

Later he realized that Xiaomu was trying to lead him to understand in his own way.

He is kind, smart, studious, and good-looking, like a fairy doll that fell from the sky.

Gao Yi's voice choked with sobs, "If Xiaomu had grown up safely, he would have been a rare handsome young man in Yuzhou City.

After he was thrown back, his mother went crazy, his father became sick, and I had to shoulder the responsibility of the family and become the head of the family at an early age.

You can come if you want, but you shouldn't have killed my father, used my mother, and borrowed my younger brother's identity to do such illegal things under the Gao family.

Although my Gao family is a merchant family, we are also an honest family. How can we let it be ruined because of you!

Tonight, you will return with your life and name."

He stepped back, and the guards who had been waiting for a long time drew their swords and approached the man.
