Chapter 1571

"This expedition is likely to be extremely dangerous."

Gao Yang shook his head and said very calmly, "Lord Shangguan, although Gao is a poisonous strategist, there are things I will do and things I will not."

"The Xiongnu Chanyu is provoking us like this, with such deep hatred; anyone who can swallow this breath is a turtle."

Shangguan Wan'er fell silent instantly.

But then she seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly asked Gao Yang, "Prime Minister Gao, has the flintlock musket been developed yet?"

Shangguan Wan'er had heard Gao Yang say that once the flintlock musket appears, it will be the beginning of a new era. This matter is also a top-secret in Da Qian.

Except for her and Wu Zhao, only Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng knew about it.

If there is a flintlock musket as a trump card, then Gao Yang's safety will undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed!

"Lord Shangguan, let alone developed, the flintlock musket is still far from the testing stage. It is difficult to count on the flintlock musket this time."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but look disappointed.

"The journey is dangerous; what trump cards has Lord Gao prepared?"

Gao Yang said, "Apart from the three hundred death row prisoners, there are no other trump cards."

"This time, we must go head-to-head with the Xiongnu!"

Once these words were spoken.

Shangguan Wan'er's expression became increasingly ugly.

Three hundred death row prisoners, what can they do?

During the Battle of Changancheng, Gao Yang had alcohol, boiled feces, Mo blades, and gunpowder. These endless trump cards defeated Chu Qingluan.

During his first expedition, Gao Yang also had two great artifacts: stirrups and horseshoes, as well as the breaking crossbow as a trump card, which could catch the Xiongnu off guard.

But now, Gao Yang's only trump card is three hundred death row prisoners...

But this expedition is clearly going to be even more dangerous!

"I will return to the palace to report first. I have spent too much time with Lord Gao today; I fear His Majesty has been waiting anxiously."

After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, she mounted her horse and galloped all the way to the imperial palace.

Subsequently, Gao Yang also boarded the carriage of the Duke of Dingguo Prefecture.

Clip-clop!

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, heading straight towards the imperial palace.

Gao Yang sat in the carriage, his eyes deep as he called out.

"Chen Sheng!"

"Subordinate is here!"

Chen Sheng responded from beside the carriage.

"The expedition is imminent; help this official do three things."

"Young Master, just give your orders. Even if it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, this subordinate will definitely do it!" Chen Sheng said with a serious face, guaranteeing it.

Gao Yang's slender fingers tapped gently on the seat inside the carriage, slow and rhythmic.

"First, the matter of the Xiongnu Great Chanyu will inevitably reach the ears of Zhao Guo. Zhao Yuheng and the Zhao Emperor will inevitably have thoughts they shouldn't. You go and send someone to tell Bai Xinxin to increase the pressure on the Zhao Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"Yes!"

"Second, this Prime Minister has studied the route map of the Xiongnu's annual invasions of Da Qian. The Xiongnu Great Chanyu suddenly attacking Yuyang City is very suspicious. Behind this... it might have something to do with the Yan Emperor. It's time to put some pressure on Yan Wushuang too!"

"This Prime Minister has investigated. Since the Yan Emperor ascended the throne, the Prime Minister of Great Yan has been Yuan Xuanlin. He has been with Yan Wushuang the longest and is highly trusted. But now that Chen Ping has emerged suddenly and has the momentum to catch up, when two tigers fight, one must be injured. You can send people to make a big issue out of this!"

Chen Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what if it has nothing to do with the Yan Emperor, and it's purely the Xiongnu's own doing?"

"Isn't that simple? That just means this Prime Minister guessed wrong. But if I guessed wrong, I guessed wrong; what does that matter?"

Chen Sheng: "..."

This reason is very strong!

"Young Master, what about the third thing?"

If Chen Sheng remembered correctly, Gao Yang said there were three things for him to do, but this is clearly only two.

Speaking of this, Gao Yang's eyes became increasingly deep, with coldness flashing within. He took a letter from his sleeve and said to Chen Sheng, "Help this official deliver this letter to the Chu Emperor and order him to open it personally!"

"Remember, also put some pressure on the Chu Emperor!"

"Yes!"

Chen Sheng took the letter, full of curiosity.

But he was sensible enough not to ask more, just looking thoughtful.

At this time.

The Da Qian Imperial Palace came into view.

"Young Master, the Imperial Palace has arrived." Wu Guang's voice sounded.

Gao Yang nodded and then got off the carriage.

He walked straight towards the imperial palace...
