Chapter 1569

After opening it, the gold and silver jewelry inside refracted a brilliant radiance under the illumination of the golden sunlight.

She held the box and said loudly, "Sisters, let's pool our money to buy warhorses. Aren't those Xiongnu people demanding women for marriage alliances? Aren't they bullying the Prime Minister's second uncle? Damn their mothers, they've been given enough face; let's send them a female Yama!"

In an instant, a wave of sound arose.

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

As the news spread, the scholars of Changancheng were moved beyond measure.

Who says entertainers are heartless? In the face of national hatred and family vendettas, no one can remain aloof!

"Nothing to do today, I shall go to the pleasure houses to listen to music, and I, Da Gan, do not eat cilantro!"

"Nothing to do today, I shall go to the pleasure houses to listen to music, and I, Da Gan, do not eat cilantro!"

No one knew who let out the first cry.

Soon, on the streets of Changancheng, waves of sound rose and fell, converging together and spreading far away.

Ministry of Justice.

Gao Yang stood in the center of the small courtyard, hands behind his back, looking up at the firmament.

Minister of Justice Wang Yifan came from behind and bowed carefully, saying, "Prime Minister, the three hundred death row prisoners you requested have arrived. As per your requirements, they have all committed heinous crimes and possess considerable skill."

"Bring them up!"

Gao Yang gave the order.

Wang Yifan waved his hand, "Bring them up."

Very soon.

One by one, the death row prisoners, wearing handcuffs and shackles, were brought up by Wang Yifan.

When they saw Gao Yang, the killing intent in their eyes converged, creating a powerful sense of oppression.

But Gao Yang's expression did not change.

He asked indifferently, "Do these death row prisoners have families?"

"According to your requirements, they all have families," Wang Yifan replied.

"Very good."

Gao Yang looked at the three hundred death row prisoners before him and directly took out a booklet, saying, "This is the 'Record of Facing Death'. All who enter this record, in addition to the rewards from His Majesty, will have one crime reduced for every level of enemy killed; those who kill five levels will be released without charge; those who kill ten levels will bring blessings to their descendants; those who kill a Xiongnu Commandant or General will be enfeoffed as a Master of One Hundred Households and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

Once these words were spoken.

It was almost instantaneous.

Wang Yifan felt the eyes of the three hundred death row prisoners change abruptly.

Those blood-colored eyes, which originally lacked vitality and were indifferent to everything, suddenly became fanatical, just like a strong man who had been suppressed for three years suddenly seeing a beautiful woman of peerless charm who was tempting him.

That look was extremely terrifying!

"Those willing to face death for this Prime Minister, step forward!"

Swish, swish!

In an instant, the three hundred death row prisoners stepped out in unison.

Gao Yang wore a smile and spoke.

"Very good!"

"This official will have ghost-face masks crafted for you. Once you wear these masks, you are evil ghosts crawled out from hell; once you take them off—this official promises you the right to live as upright human beings!"

The next instant.

"Willing to face death for Prime Minister Gao!"

"Willing to face death for Prime Minister Gao!"

The three hundred death row prisoners stared at Gao Yang with fanatical eyes.

Even ants cling to life, let alone humans? Now that a chance to live, and even to rise in the world, was placed before them, who could not be tempted?

If they don't fight, they are surely dead; if they fight, they might have a chance to rise in the world.

This choice was not difficult to make!

"Escort them to the Northern Camp. This official has already ordered Pu Duo to wait outside; he will make the arrangements!"

Gao Yang gave the order.

"Yes!"

Soon, the three hundred death row prisoners were taken away.

Wang Yifan couldn't help but ask, "Lord Gao, if I may be so bold, His Majesty has promised tens of thousands of elite troops; why does the Lord still need to find three hundred death row prisoners?"

"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary soldiers; I fear it will have miraculous effects!" Gao Yang replied.

"Then why must they have families?"

"Death row prisoners are not reliable. Once the army is routed, they will want to flee the battlefield. This Prime Minister will tell them that those who flee the battlefield will have their entire families executed!"

"Hiss!"

Wang Yifan gasped.

But immediately after, he heard.

"At the same time, death row prisoners have infinite uses. They can fight to the death, and at critical moments, they can turn into a suicide squad, strapped with explosives, to blast a path of survival for the army!"

Once these words were spoken.

Wang Yifan was stunned.

He now had only one thought.

Why did that Xiongnu Great Chanyu have to provoke such a madman?
