Chapter 76

Wu Zhao first looked at Gao Yang, then said to Wang Zhong, "Old General Wang, this trip concerns the millions of people in Guanzhong. I am well aware of the grievances involved."

"When Old General Wang returns in triumph, I will naturally reward you heavily."

Wang Zhong clasped his fists, "I thank Your Majesty, I will definitely not fail your grace!"

Soon, Gao Yang organized the entire disaster relief plan again. The owners of the chickens and ducks were all to be registered, and after the officials discussed the details, the matter was settled.

Soon, the entire government machine of Da Qian would also start running, fully cooperating with the disaster relief in Guanzhong!

It was as if a big stone had suddenly been lifted from Wu Zhao's heart.

"Go down. The disaster in Guanzhong cannot be delayed. Follow the strategy of the Junior Official of the Ministry of Revenue, and all departments will cooperate together!"

"The rest of you go down, the Junior Official of the Ministry of Revenue stays."

Wu Zhao gave the order, and the officials bowed and withdrew.

Wang Zhong took a deep look at Gao Yang, and as he passed by Gao Yang, he whispered, "Yellow-mouthed child, I will remember you, just wait for me."

"I must take revenge for this grudge!"

To this, Gao Yang just revealed a simple smile, bowed to Wang Zhong, and said, "I, Gao Yang, wish the Great General of the Ducks a smooth journey and a triumphant return!"

Wang Zhong's mouth twitched, and he walked away.

Today, he was tricked big time!

Don't even think about letting a single chicken or duck in the entire Changan city run away.

Otherwise, if the disaster relief is ineffective, he will have to take the blame.

When the officials left the hall, they also took a deep look at Gao Yang.

Some neutral officials even showed a friendly smile to Gao Feng before leaving.

They decided in their hearts that this kid from the Duke of the State's mansion was quite sinister and should not be provoked unless there was a great grudge.

They even warned the playboys in their mansions not to provoke Gao Yang.

Wang Zhong left the palace all the way to the military camp.

He directly ordered five thousand soldiers and horses.

The five thousand soldiers were eager to try, all of them elite.

Upon hearing the order, they thought a war was coming, and everyone stood straight, their killing intent soaring.

After all, there had been no war for many years, which was not good news for them, the soldiers!

Having a war meant having an opportunity to make meritorious service and change their destiny.

But immediately after, Wang Zhong issued an order to requisition chickens and ducks.

Five thousand soldiers: "???"

After a long while, they realized that they were not the protagonists this time, chickens and ducks... were the protagonists?

It was truly outrageous.

But military orders cannot be violated.

For a time, horse hooves stepped through Changan city, splashing dust, and there was a commotion of chickens and dogs everywhere in markets and farmhouses!

Even the fighting cocks held by some playboys were forcibly requisitioned.

"Old General Wang, this is a fighting cock, please show mercy!" some playboys wailed.

But Wang Zhong was already unhappy and said coldly, "Your Majesty has a decree: all chickens and ducks in Changan, not one left!"

"Fighting cocks are also chickens, and they have stronger combat power and eat more locusts. Take them away!"

Following Wang Zhong's order, only a burst of heartbroken wailing remained.

This playboy knelt on the ground and wailed, "I have raised you for two and a half years. Because you clucked every day, I named you Brother!"

"Brother, I cannot live without you!"

Today in Changan city, it was destined to be lively.

Under imperial power, no one dared not to obey.

At the same time.

In the Imperial Garden, in a pavilion.

Wu Zhao said coldly, "Gao Yang, you are very bold!"

Wu Zhao's eyes landed on Gao Yang, meaningful.

The officials all understood Wang Zhong's matter, let alone her.

Borrowing her hand to successfully trick Wang Zhong, and warning Shangguan Wan'er along the way, this desire for revenge had to be said to be quite strong.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang raised his head.

After the officials in the Imperial Study dispersed, he followed behind Wu Zhao, keeping his head down and looking at Wu Zhao's long legs as she walked with an appreciative gaze.

"What crime do I have?"

"This bet was proposed by Old General Wang himself, and eating locusts was because Your Majesty couldn't go in person, so I proposed that Old General Wang do it on your behalf!"

Gao Yang examined Wu Zhao's face at close range, seven parts beautiful, three parts dignified, especially the noble temperament of her whole body, as if it emanated from her bones.

"Your Majesty, please see clearly, everything I do is for Da Qian, for Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes landed on Gao Yang, and she said with amusement, "Do you mean I wronged you?"

This was the first time she had summoned Gao Yang alone, and she felt that this Gao Yang was quite interesting.

Not only did he not have the timidity or fear of his peers when seeing her, but he was also talking and laughing.

If guided properly, he would truly be a pillar of talent for Da Qian!

"I was wrong."

Upon hearing Wu Zhao speak, Gao Yang said immediately.

Wu Zhao was a bit surprised and asked, "What was wrong?"

"I don't know, but I know that if Your Majesty says I am wrong, then I must be wrong."

Gao Yang directly gave a flattery.

Wu Zhao smiled helplessly, then picked up a cup of tea and said, "You are a smart person and understand what I mean, so I don't need to say more."

"After all, during this period, Old General Wang was wrong first, so this can be considered even."

"But Old General Wang is advanced in years, and this time he has paid a huge price for me and for Da Qian, so some things should stop."
