419: Eating shit expression

Lin Yue sat opposite a refined young man, while Ji San and Baixiao Sheng sat to the side.

Seeing that both were ready, Baixiao Sheng spoke: "Alright, Brother Lin has just told you about his experience joining the army, Xiaoxiaosheng, you can start now."

Then he said to Ji San: "Shopkeeper Ji, please sit for a moment, I'm going to relieve myself and will be right back."

"Okay." Ji San nodded, looking at the two men sitting opposite each other. He was very interested in this interview. He knew the prospects of this newspaper and wondered if he could also publish an article to promote himself in the future.

The refined young man opposite Lin Yue also nodded upon seeing this, then looked at Lin Yue: "General Lin Yue, hello, I am Great Qin's Xiaoxiaosheng, you can call me Xiaoxiaosheng. Can we start now?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded.

Then, Xiaoxiaosheng instantly seemed like a different person, staring directly into Lin Yue's eyes and asking: "To my knowledge, you were specially approved by General General Meng Tian to join the Great Wall Legion in the thirty-second year of The First Emperor's reign?"

"That's right." Lin Yue nodded.

Speaking of which, that was a turning point in his destiny.

"Subsequently, you uncovered the Great Qin's largest case of illegal grain merchants colluding with foreigners, becoming a General in less than a year, and now you've been transferred to Xianyang, promoted to Cavalry Commandant. Do you have anything to say about this?" Xiaoxiaosheng asked with piercing eyes.

Lin Yue shook his head blankly. What was there to say? Thank Great Qin? Thank the imperial court?

"Really nothing?" Xiaoxiaosheng's right hand reached towards his eye socket, but he suddenly realized his glasses were no longer there, then asked again: "For example, the rumors in the streets?"

"What rumors?" Lin Yue frowned, a bit confused. Could it be that his identity as a foreigner had been exposed? But he wasn't famous, nor had he heard any rumors, so he didn't think it was likely.

Xiaoxiaosheng paused, then asked expressionlessly: "For example, that you are the Great General's illegitimate son who was left outside? That you're a connected person? That you pulled strings? Do you have nothing to say about this?"

"Are there such rumors? Why don't I know?" Lin Yue looked at Xiaoxiaosheng in horror. Illegitimate son? Connected person? And pulling strings? He was a pure, unadulterated straight man, where did these rumors come from?

Lin Yue then looked at Baixiao Sheng with a questioning expression, but he was nowhere to be seen. He only saw Ji San, who also looked horrified.

Sweat also broke out on Ji San's forehead, thinking that interviews were like this, were these questions always so sharp?

"You haven't heard of them?" Xiaoxiaosheng ignored their unusual reactions, but his eyes narrowed, full of suspicion.

"No." Lin Yue shook his head firmly.

"Really? I don't believe it." Xiaoxiaosheng replied expressionlessly.

"Click!"

At this moment, Baixiao Sheng, who had suddenly returned, quickly interrupted their conversation, then smiled awkwardly at Lin Yue, and turned to glare at Xiaoxiaosheng: "Xiaoxiaosheng, what's wrong with you? Brother Lin is our shareholder."

Xiaoxiaosheng realized upon hearing this, then smiled apologetically at Lin Yue: "I'm sorry, General Lin Yue, let's start over."

"Mm-hmm." Lin Yue secretly wiped away sweat.

Xiaoxiaosheng was the first to ask: "Then, can you tell us how you thought of launching a night raid on King Baiyang's Encampment?"

"Uh... it just suddenly came to me." Lin Yue said faintly. He himself had forgotten how he had thought of raiding King Baiyang.

"Good." Xiaoxiaosheng wrote on the paper: Deep contemplation, a thousand-mile rapid assault. Crossing the grasslands, advancing north and fighting for thousands of miles, slaying over millions of enemies, capturing King Baiyang and over a hundred other Xiongnu people nobles.

"When you decided to launch the surprise attack, did your General support you?" Xiaoxiaosheng asked again after finishing writing.

"He probably didn't know at the time, right? Yes, he only found out later." Lin Yue thought for a moment and replied. At the time, due to time constraints, he only sent Yang Dengshan to notify She Jian.

"Good." Xiaoxiaosheng's pen paused, then he wrote: Overcoming all opposition, taking a risky move, catching the enemy off guard, a born Military Leader!

After putting down his pen, Xiaoxiaosheng asked again: "Did you encounter any life-or-death situations along the way? After all, that's the grasslands, and I hear it's easy to get lost."

"Not really, I think it went quite smoothly." Lin Yue thought about it. It did seem quite smooth, except for when he had a headache from not being able to find the enemy.

"Good." Xiaoxiaosheng nodded helplessly and continued to ask: "Then did no one among you want to give up in the middle?"

"No, we ate and drank well all the way, and we had gains all along, the Brothers were all very excited, eager to kill a few more Xiongnu people." Lin Yue replied.

At that time, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry' Cavalrymen all seemed to have this idea, because it was a surprise attack all the way, basically like picking up heads.

"Good." Xiaoxiaosheng had a constipated expression, then wrote:

Sacrifice oneself for the nation, viewing death as returning home!

Then Xiaoxiaosheng asked again: "What do you think kept you going on that long journey?"

"Military merits! Absolutely military merits!" Lin Yue smiled. He remembered this perfectly clearly!

After all, at that time, when they saw the Xiongnu people tribes, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry were like hungry wolves, rushing forward with red eyes. The light cavalry became heavy cavalry, basically, after a volley of arrows, they charged with their swords.

Because facing Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers with no ability to resist, a sword was the fastest way.

And the reason was military merits! They had never gained military merits so easily! Everyone knew this opportunity was rare, at that time, their eyes were truly red and they all went crazy killing!

"General, think again, was it really military merits?" Xiaoxiaosheng blinked, hinting.

"Hmm..." Lin Yue pondered, then suddenly realized: "I know, it was rewards! It was land and money!"

Xiaoxiaosheng sighed, with an expression like he had eaten something foul, then wrote on the paper: Enduring countless hardships, resolutely rushing thousands of miles, a passionate heart, only to repay Great Qin!

The two went back and forth, and finally, Xiaoxiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief, reluctantly writing at the end:

Only with a fearless heart can one soar through the sky!

...Three days later,

In the early morning, Lin Yue stood before Zhangtai Palace, removed his spatial ring, called a few Cavalrymen, and had them carry hundreds of newspapers inside.

Yesterday at noon, Lin Yue took Baixiao Sheng to find Sima Yi. After approval, they rushed to print them. A million copies were ordered for the first time. The First Emperor had also read the final version in advance and instructed Lin Yue to distribute one copy to each minister tomorrow.

Then Lin Yue stood outside the hall. Whenever a minister approached, Lin Yue, like a person distributing flyers in later generations, handed the newspaper to them.

Many ministers had heard of this "newspaper" during the last court assembly, but they didn't expect to see a physical copy so soon. This made them somewhat curious, so they all took it and began to read as they walked.

"Great Qin Daily?" A minister took it, puzzled.

"Hiss!" An old minister trembled as he held the newspaper: "Jiuyuan Commandery? Is a commandery going to be established?"

"Where did this newspaper get its information? Why don't I know?" A scholar nearby was a bit confused.

Such voices were endless, but fortunately, the number of people who knew this news was by no means small, so it didn't cause much of a stir.

"No, who is General Lin Yue, written in the small print in the bottom right corner? He seems to have the potential to be the next Military God!"

"Why haven't I heard of this name?"

"From the Great Wall Legion?"

"I should get to know him well someday."

Lin Yue's face turned red as he listened to these words.

At the same time, he felt a bit ashamed: "This Xiaoxiaosheng, what he wrote is completely nonsensical. Even if I'm a shareholder, he shouldn't write like this, should he? It makes me look ridiculous. But thankfully, most of the people who know me and are qualified to mock me are in the Great Wall Legion. Not many can directly mock me now."

"And this 'Sacrifice oneself for the nation, viewing death as returning home!' Cao Zhi's coffin lid must be about to burst open, right?"

Lin Yue silently complained. After all the ministers entered the hall, Lin Yue stood to the side, holding his halberd, quietly awaiting the start of the grand court assembly.
