Chapter 1302

"Heaven blesses our Great Qian, truly Heaven blesses our Great Qian!"

Several people were extremely happy; even Wang Zhong couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Gao Tianlong first breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face turned gloomy again.

He snorted coldly and said, "This brat, disobeying military orders and raiding the Xiongnu without authorization—he's truly bold!"

"When he comes in later, none of you are allowed to plead for him; this old man must give him thirty heavy strokes!"

"Otherwise, he'll keep causing trouble in the future!"

Gao Tianlong said heavily, clearly extremely angry.

Lu Zhen also nodded immediately, echoing, "Old Duke, this really isn't me, Lu Zhen, stirring up trouble; if it were me, I'd definitely beat him until he couldn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month!"

"These ten days, this old man hasn't had a single good night's sleep."

Wang Zhong, Li Zhenxiao, and Sun Jingbian didn't speak, but they stroked their beards, waiting to see the joke.

Gao Yang getting a beating—how refreshing!

Are the Xiongnu people easy to mess with? Daring to raid all the way with eight hundred men—truly bold!

They would have to enjoy the expression on Gao Yang's face later.

Soon.

A commotion came from outside the camp, the noise was extremely loud.

"Although Lord Gao is only a Piao Yao Captain, the commotion he caused upon returning to camp is huge!"

"Yes, the morale in the army has been low for this period, and we rarely hear such commotion."

Gao Tianlong also felt a bit strange.

But he didn't leave the camp.

Soon.

The tent flap was lifted.

Gao Yang, wearing simple armor and covered in dust, entered the tent, his face smiling as he stared at Gao Tianlong.

"This subordinate greets the Grand General!"

As soon as Gao Tianlong saw Gao Yang, his anger flared up, especially seeing Gao Yang's cheeky appearance, which made an nameless fire surge in his heart.

"You brat, you can still laugh?"

"Do you know your crime!"

Gao Tianlong roared, his voice filled with endless fury.

If he didn't beat Gao Yang up today, Gao Yang wouldn't know who was the master of the Dingguo Duke Prefecture!

Gao Yang looked innocent, "Grand General, what crime does this subordinate have?"

Hearing this from Gao Yang, the evil fire in Gao Tianlong's heart grew even larger.

This brat, is he playing dumb?

"What crime?"

"You still have the nerve to ask, and you dare to be so righteous?"

"Today, this old man wants to see how you, this mixed-up brat, will quibble; otherwise, don't blame this old man for being ruthless with military law!"

"This old man asks you: I told you to catch a few tongues, not to run far, so where have you been these ten days? This old man sent out the entire army's scouts to search for hundreds of miles, and none of them found you!"

"And you still ask what crime you have?"

Gao Tianlong was furious when he mentioned this.

Gao Yang said very calmly, "Grandfather, you can't say it like that. The Sage said, 'Up, down, and all four directions is space; past, present, and future is time.' This subordinate only detoured a few hundred miles; I haven't even run out of the universe yet—how is that far?"

Once these words were out.

"Ah!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Can "far" be understood like this?

Lu Zhen said from the side, "Old Duke, this really isn't me, Lu Zhen, stirring up trouble; if it were me, I really couldn't bear it."

"If I didn't beat him, I'd really be unable to sleep at night!"

Gao Tianlong's eye twitched, and the veins on his forehead jumped.

Gao Yang didn't dare to be cheeky anymore; he knew this was the precursor to Gao Tianlong's outburst.

If he got a beating first, that would be too worthless!

"Grand General, don't be angry yet; this subordinate did catch the tongues for you, Grandfather."

"Grand General, why not take a look before punishing this subordinate!"

Gao Tianlong's face was gloomy; he snorted coldly and said, "Just catching a few tongues, what's there to see?"

Gao Yang didn't care, just a smile lingering on the corner of his mouth.

He shouted loudly toward the outside, "Someone, bring in the tongues this general caught!"

Soon.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang stepped forward, one holding a tray, the other escorting a Xiongnu.

Further back, Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi also escorted several Xiongnu up.

The Xiongnu escorted by Wu Guang was quite old, and somewhat reluctant, a bit fidgety.

Gao Tianlong hadn't taken it seriously at first.

Tongues (scouts) only have value in a few cases, and the value is extremely limited.

Most tongues yield nothing, and could even be false intelligence.

He let Gao Yang catch tongues just to find him something to do and mix in some military merit.

But the next second, Gao Tianlong noticed something wrong.

These tongues... seem a bit off.

The hierarchy of the Xiongnu is extremely obvious, and one can tell a thing or two from their clothing and hats.

The clothing of Xiongnu commoners is mostly simple and practical, not flashy, and the materials used are simple, mostly sheepskin, and they certainly wouldn't wear robes that are too long, which would affect work.

In contrast, the clothing of Xiongnu nobles uses high-quality sable and fox fur.

And the hats of the two are also very different; Xiongnu nobles would inlay gold and other things on their hats to show their noble status.

These tongues were all wearing long robes, the jewelry on their clothes was extremely obvious, and their hats were gorgeous enough.

Gao Tianlong associated this with the commotion in the army earlier, and his heart jumped slightly.

He couldn't help but look at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang's gaze swept across Gao Tianlong and the others in the tent, a rich smile on his face.

Then, he directly flipped the tray, revealing the spherical object inside.

It was clearly a—human head!

And this Xiongnu's eyes were wide open, dying with eyes unclosed!

Gao Yang slapped the head, sending it flying to the ground, where it rolled several times.

He smiled and said, "Grandfather, this is the Xiongnu Chancellor Lanti Tuhe; he dared to lead his subordinates to resist my grandson, so I killed him with one slash!" ===== CHAPTER 1304 =====
