"Thump~ thump~ thump~!"
Their hearts pounded with Liu Hong's every step.
As he approached, Liu Hong stopped and looked at the resolute faces of the young men with a smile.
Hello!
Liu Hong's voice wasn't loud, but it was strong and clear, reaching everyone's ears.
"Your Majesty, how are you!"
The group of young men mustered all their strength and responded to the emperor with all their might, their voices deafening and resounding throughout the surrounding area.

"Yes, sir!"
"By imperial decree, immediately summon the students of the Imperial Academy, the three academies, and the young wandering knights-errant in Luoyang!"
"I will receive them outside the Southern Palace!!"
"promise!!"
Upon hearing this, Song Dian quickly turned around and ran outside.
