Chapter 1546: The Xiongnu Chanyu

"By order of the Great Chanyu, Minister Gao is a close friend of our tribe, so we specially send four big gifts to express our feelings, hoping Minister Gao likes them!"

"The first big gift—a broken sword. This sword was broken on the walls of Yuyang City. Today, I present the broken blade to the Living Yama to express my feelings!"

Changancheng.

Zhu Que Avenue.

A Xiongnu held a broken blade high and walked down the street.

He straightened his waist, held the broken blade high, and his voice carried a sense of fearlessness.

These words spread, immediately attracting the attention of the people in Changancheng. They stood on both sides of the street, looking at the Xiongnu holding the broken blade high with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Xiongnu? He dares to appear in Changancheng wearing Xiongnu attire, is he looking for death?"

"Minister Gao raided the Xiongnu Chanyu's lair, is this Xiongnu crazy? With such a blood feud, instead of thinking about revenge, he actually took the initiative to send four big gifts?"

"This is clearly irony, can't you even hear that? But why would the Xiongnu send a broken blade for no reason, and look so arrogant?"

"Hiss! I understand!"

"I heard that the place the Xiongnu attacked in Da Qian was Yuyang City, and this broken blade is also from Yuyang City. This is very bad!"

"What happened to Yuyang City? Why is it bad?"

"Because the Yuyang Prefect is Gao Linyuan, Minister Gao's second uncle. The Xiongnu are sending four big gifts, sending a broken blade, and specifically mentioning it came from Yuyang City... could it be that Prefect Gao has fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu?"

"What? Given the hatred between the Xiongnu and Minister Gao, wouldn't Prefect Gao be finished?"

Accompanied by a burst of discussion, the people of Changan changed their expressions drastically.

But regarding the Living Yama, no one dared to stop him.

Even some constables in Changan came into the crowd, staring at the Xiongnu with extremely unkind eyes, but they did not act rashly.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Wu Zhao heard the voice, and her expression became extremely ugly.

She stood up and said, "This Xiongnu says he wants to send four big gifts to Gao Yang, and the first gift is a broken blade?"

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and said, "Not only that, this Xiongnu also pointed out that this broken blade was captured from the walls of Yuyang City."

Wu Zhao's face was livid, and she said furiously.

"What do these Xiongnu want to do?"

"Go, follow me to see."

Wu Zhao stood up directly, walked out of the Imperial Study with a livid face, and Shangguan Wan'er followed behind Wu Zhao, and the two walked out together.

Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

Gao Yang's face was livid and became extremely ugly.

The thing he feared most... had finally happened.

But he did not leave the mansion, but waited quietly.

The mansion gates were wide open, and even Gao Tianlong was alarmed. He came to the courtyard, his body filled with a terrifying power.

All the servants in the mansion lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe.

Although Gao Tianlong was very kind to them on weekdays and the atmosphere of the Dingguo Duke's Mansion was very relaxed, they were not fools and felt a murderous intent raging.

Soon.

This Xiongnu slowly stepped into the Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Almost instantly, his gaze fell on Gao Yang, and then he curled his lips and said.

"Are you the Da Qian Living Yama Gao Yang?"

Gao Yang's cold eyes swept over, and a murderous intent filled the bottom of his eyes.

"Is my second uncle dead or alive? Where is he?"

This Xiongnu soldier curled his lips and did not answer directly, but smiled grimly: "Living Yama, I am ordered by the Great Chanyu to send the first congratulatory gift."

"You must look closely at this broken blade, I hope Minister Gao likes it."

This broken blade was sent to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang's trembling hand touched the notch of the blade, his expression extremely ugly.

Gao Tianlong's gaze touched the character "Gao" on the sword, his body staggered, and he was supported by Gao Feng with quick eyes and hands.

"This sword was personally given to Linyuan by me in the year he came of age. This broken blade... is exactly his sword!"

The next instant.

A terrifying murderous intent struck like a mountain and sea. Gao Tianlong was like an angry lion, staring at this Xiongnu and saying, "Is my son dead or alive?"

Gao Yang also recognized the broken blade, and he directly ordered, "Take him!"

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had long been prepared. Upon hearing Gao Yang's words, they immediately killed him with lightning speed.

But this Xiongnu was faster.

A trace of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of pleasure. "The dignified Da Qian first poisonous strategist, the dignified Da Qian Dingguo Duke, are you so impatient?"

"The Great Chanyu has ordered that impatience cannot eat hot tofu. Four congratulatory gifts, one sent each day. Whether Prefect Gao is dead or alive, Minister Gao will know soon."

After speaking, this Xiongnu fell to the ground, black blood flowing from his lips, obviously dead.

Chen Sheng stepped forward, checked his breath, and said to Gao Yang with an extremely ugly expression, "Eldest Young Master, it's a death soldier, hiding a poison pill in his mouth, he's already dead."

Gao Yang punched the table.

He closed his scarlet eyes, and the murderous intent around him permeated.

Four congratulatory gifts, one sent each day, and specifically sent by a death soldier, clearly not giving him a chance for interrogation.

This Xiongnu Chanyu was deliberately trying to make him wait in agony, to make him fall into great pain, and for this, he did not hesitate to use a death soldier to send it!

Gao Tianlong's body swayed, as if he had suddenly aged several years.

There is nothing more painful in the world than a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person!

This pain was like being cut by a thousand knives.

"Grandfather, this Xiongnu Chanyu might be doing it on purpose, things might not be that bad... all this is my fault..."

Gao Yang wanted to comfort Gao Tianlong. After all, Gao Tianlong was old and no longer as heroic as he used to be. He was afraid Gao Tianlong could not bear the blow of losing a son.

But Gao Tianlong reached out and stopped Gao Yang.

"Yang'er, dying on the battlefield and being wrapped in horse hide is Linyuan's glory. I... am not that fragile yet! You don't need to think too much."

"Regardless of whether Linyuan is dead or alive, this has nothing to do with you!"

After Gao Tianlong finished speaking, he walked toward the inner courtyard.

Gao Yang stared at Gao Tianlong's departing back. Although Gao Tianlong spoke with strength, his back was exceptionally desolate.

As a poisonous strategist, every step he missed had a high price.

He thought he would never go on an expedition to the Xiongnu again in this life, so he provoked a wave of hatred, got a title and rewards, and because Yuyang City did not border the Xiongnu, he relaxed his vigilance.

He did not know that the Xiongnu knew Gao Linyuan was in Yuyang City, so they did not hesitate to take a detour to attack Yuyang, or if there were other reasons.

But he knew.

His heart was very painful!

"Minister Gao..."

Wu Zhao was behind Gao Yang, wanting to comfort him.

But she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, should she still lie and say Gao Linyuan might be safe?

The attitude of the Xiongnu Chanyu and these four congratulatory gifts had already explained everything.

"Your Majesty, I am fine."

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao and forced a smile.

It was just that the smile looked uglier than crying in Wu Zhao's eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er did not speak, her beautiful eyes just staring at Gao Yang. She could feel that hidden beneath Gao Yang's smile, which was uglier than crying, was a huge storm. ===== CHAPTER 1548 =====
