Chapter 314 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind
Gao Hang, who had just finished roasting the pheasant, looked up when he heard the voice, smiled at Gao Yuman, and waved, "Yuman is here, come quickly and eat roast chicken with daddy."
Gao Yuman looked back and saw that the three people who saved her had already left.
The three men were wearing masks, and she had no idea what they looked like.
"Don't just stand there, come in."
"Dad." Gao Yuman cried and ran over, hugging Gao Hang: "What happened? Why are you still alive? If you are alive, why don't you go find your daughter earlier?"
Gao Hang touched her head gently: "It was arranged by your grandfather."
Gao Yumen was stunned and let go of Gao Hang. She looked at him in disbelief.
Gao Hang continued with a smile, "Your grandfather had a assassin named Ghost Face by his side. He found someone with a body shape similar to mine and replaced me. The person who died was not me."
"If he has this ability, why doesn't he save Grandfather?"
Grandfather is the sky of the noble clan.
Gao Hang smiled faintly: "He was lucky to meet someone who looked like me, so he could only save me under those circumstances."
"What about the letter that King Pingshan gave me?" Gao Yumen was full of doubts.
"I asked him to give it to you. He has me, the tall brother, in his heart. After all, I am Uncle Nangong's most beloved nephew. For Uncle Nangong's sake, he will help me once, but only once."
Gao Hang smiled bitterly and said, "I have been ill for so many years. After I woke up, I lost everything. Yu Man, there are only two of us in the Gao family. We must live well and find a place where no one knows us. We can be an ordinary father and daughter, away from the disputes in the capital..."
"Dad, I don't want to be an ordinary person." Gao Yuman said, "I want to revive the Gao clan. I am the eldest daughter of the Gao clan. I want to take back everything I lost."
"Yuman?" Gao Hang stared at Gao Yuman in a daze. "It's not easy for you to be alive. Don't be stupid, okay? The reason why your grandfather betrothed you to the Ninth Prince was not to let you revive the Gao family, but to let you live well. He knew that the Ninth Prince would protect you, so he was relieved to hand you over to the Ninth Prince."
"Ninth Prince?" Gao Yuman sneered, "He is a heartless man!"
No matter how Gao Hang persuaded her, Gao Yuman refused to give up revenge.
Looking at his eldest daughter who had completely changed, Gao Hang couldn't help but think of how well-behaved she was when she was a child.
Changed, completely changed.
"Yu Man, the reason why Dad let you fake your death and escape from the capital was not to let you seek revenge, but to let you go with Dad to a place where no one knows you and live a good life."
"I don't want it. I refuse. You can be weak and have no ambition, but you can't make me as weak and incompetent as you."
Gao Yuman stood up and looked down at Gao Hang: "Dad, I am ashamed of you."
Gao Hang fell silent, and couldn't help but recall what Xiao Jingxuan said in his mind.
"Brother Gao, although you are a member of the Gao family, the emperor has given you a chance to live because you provided testimony to report your father and sacrificed your own family for the greater good. However, you can no longer be called Gao Hang."
"Thank you, Jingxuan. I know it was you who asked for the favor on my behalf."
"Brother Gao, the Gao family will be executed along with all nine clans, but your daughter Gao Yuman is already the prince's consort and is pregnant, so she doesn't have to die for now."
"Can I take her away?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid she won't want to."
"I will let her be a normal person."
At that time, Jamel Xiao looked at him meaningfully: "If you can do it, just go ahead and try. I will help you once, but it will be the last time."
Gao Hang grabbed Gao Yuman's shoulders and said, "Daughter, come with me. Listen to me and don't go back. I won't let you starve."
Gao Yuman shook off his hand: "You are dreaming if you want me to abandon my wealth and fame and live in seclusion with you. I will take back everything that belongs to me even if I die."
"Status, power, and money are all indispensable!"
"I am the daughter of the Gao family. I am the most honorable daughter of the capital. I will never live in vain."
"Dad, where is Guimian? Ask him to help me. I want to change my identity and start over... Oh, I can go to Beiyi. I can use Beiyi to kill Emperor Yuanwu."
"Pa!" Gao Hang could no longer bear it and slapped Gao Yuman on the face: "You are confused. Beiyi treats you as a fool. Do you really think they will help you? Come with me. If you don't, I will break your legs."
Gao Yuman sneered: "I won't leave."
"It's not up to you!" Gao Hang took out a rope and tied her up: "We will leave after daybreak."
He also covered Gao Yuman's mouth with a piece of cloth.
It was late at night, the rain was still falling, and a fire was burning in the dilapidated temple.
A figure wearing a straw raincoat slowly approached the dilapidated temple. After stepping into the temple, he glanced at Gao Hang and walked towards Gao Yumen.
He leaned close to Gao Yumen's ear.
"I didn't expect your father to be so capable that he could even think of faking his death to get you out of the royal family."
"Your mission is not yet complete. You can't just leave like this."
"Since you are already dead, take on a new identity."
Gao Yuman's eyes lit up instantly.
The man untied the rope on Gao Yuman, then pulled Gao Yuman to Gao Hang and said, "Kill your father to prevent him from leaking the fact that you are alive."
Gao Yuman was shocked: "No, my father won't tell anyone."
The man thrust the sword into her hand and said, "He must die. This is a test from the princess. If you disobey, it will be useless. Both of you must die."
Gao Yumen looked painful and conflicted, but after a moment, she made a decision. She slowly raised the sword in her hand, closed her eyes, and stabbed Gao Hang fiercely.
At the critical moment, a sword stabbed over and scratched Gao Yumen's wrist, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground.
The man was shocked and immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap and wanted to run away immediately.
The sword attacked again, and three people wearing black masks surrounded the man.
The four of them fought outside, and the heavy rain was cut by the swords.
A big net fell from the sky and the man was caught in the net. Three masked men stabbed him with a sword each and knocked him unconscious with a punch.
One of the three took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. It was Yun Zhen.
"Finally we caught him. Let's go and take him back to report."
"Isn't that all taken care of inside?" A masked man pointed at the ruined temple.
Yun Zhen curled his lips and said, "They should solve their own father-daughter issues. We have done enough."
The OP doesn’t owe Gao Hang anything.
In the dilapidated temple, Gao Hang looked at Gao Yuman with disappointment. Gao Yuman knelt on the ground in dismay: "Dad, I didn't want to do it. I was forced to do it."
"Yuman, I want to sever the father-daughter relationship with you. From now on, you are no longer my daughter. Whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me anymore." Gao Hang said this in a hoarse voice, then walked out of the ruined temple without looking back and stepped into the rainy night.
Gao Yuman came back to her senses after his figure disappeared. She did not chase him out, but just sat on the ground with her legs hugged, murmuring in a lost voice: "I don't regret it. I don't want to be a lowly commoner. I am a daughter of heaven. I was, I am, and I will be... I want to be a superior person."
Yun Zhen and the other two brought the North Wing spy to a teahouse and threw him in front of Xiao Jingxuan who was gnawing on chicken feet.
"How is Brother Gao?"
"Gao Yuman was stubborn and refused to change. The relationship between father and daughter broke up, and Gao Hang left alone."
"Oh." Xiao Jingxuan put down the chicken claws and stopped asking questions. He looked at the people on the ground with a cold gaze: "Tell me what you Beiyi are planning to do next."
