Chapter 1564: Winds and clouds stir, the national war begins!

The imperial order was issued.

Clatter!

The nine gates of the Imperial Palace opened wide.

The Black Armor Cavalry lined up neatly.

The leader scanned the soldiers and said, "Pass His Majesty's decree; we shall head to all parts of Da Qian to deliver the news immediately!"

"From this moment on, Da Qian officially enters a state of war readiness!"

"Wherever my Da Qian people's bows and horses reach shall be Han soil; from today on, execute one Hu invader, reward three mu of land; those who take the Chanyu's head and perform great merit—will have their names cast in history!"

"Do you all understand?"

Then, a roar that shook the heavens rang out.

"We understand!"

The leader mounted his horse, his expression solemn, "Depart!"

"Yes!"

The next moment.

The warhorses trotted through the palace paths, along the opened palace gates, and headed straight in different directions.

Wherever they went, the people of Changancheng were shocked.

On Zhu Que Street.

As the warhorses trotted by, the people dodged.

"So many soldiers rushing, what on earth has happened?"

"I heard Governor Gao was crippled, and today the Xiongnu envoy went to the morning court, and Prime Minister Gao also went to court; did some accident happen?"

"In the morning court, what could happen? His Majesty is presiding, the officials are all present, could Prime Minister Gao have taken action?"

For a time, some were suspicious, while others shook their heads in disdain.

But there were also knowledgeable people among the people who stared at the departing Black Armor Cavalry, their bodies trembling, their eyes shocked.

"Prime Minister Gao... I fear he really took action! Something big has happened!"

This person said in an unquestionable voice.

But as soon as these words were out, they were met with skepticism from some people.

After all, the morning court hadn't even ended yet, so this was too absolute!

But this person suddenly raised his voice and mocked, "A bunch of ignorant people, those who just left are my Da Qian's Black Armor Army, His Majesty's personal guards, all first-class experts; do you see that gold-edged black dragon flag?"

"In the hundred-year history of my Da Qian, those who delivered messages with the Black Armor Army carrying the gold-edged black dragon flag have done so only twice!"

"The first time was seventy years ago, when the Yan Emperor joined the Chu Emperor in a surprise attack on my Da Qian with 200,000 troops!"

"The second time was forty years ago, when His Majesty was seriously ill, treacherous officials in the court were plotting to seize power, and the Xiongnu were eyeing us covetously!"

"Therefore, there is a saying among the people: Black Armor Cavalry, Black Dragon Flag, that means—national war!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the people of Changancheng were shaken.

Soon, the morning court ended.

At the same time, the news from the morning court could not be contained and spread out.

Gao Yang went to court with a sword and executed the Xiongnu envoy with one strike.

Then, as the Marquis Champion, he requested to fight, wishing to use three hundred death row prisoners and eight hundred cavalry to stir up the Xiongnu and execute the Xiongnu Great Chanyu.

Wu Zhao declared war domineeringly, "The invaders can go, and so can I!"

All of this spread to the entire Changancheng at extreme speed.

The Duke Prefecture.

Gao Tianlong was staring at the weak Gao Linyuan, who was wrapped like a zongzi, when Fu Bo whispered in his ear, causing Gao Tianlong's expression to change drastically.

"What?"

Gao Tianlong exclaimed in shock, his expression first one of rage, then one of complexity.

Hearing the commotion, Gao Linyuan asked with difficulty, "Father, what happened?" ===== CHAPTER 1566 =====
