426: Great victory in Lingnan, killing millions!

The next day, in the early morning, within an official residence in Xianyang City.

Chunyu Yue, who was heavily drunk, only managed to return home after the curfew was lifted.

The coachman tried to help him, but he flung him away, then staggered step by step into the mansion.

At this moment, an old servant greeted him inside the mansion, constantly following behind him, accompanying Chunyu Yue all the way to his bedroom.

The old servant stepped forward, pushed open the door, and guided Chunyu Yue to sit on the edge of the bed. Then, the old servant soaked a towel in warm water and gently wiped his face, but Chunyu Yue suddenly burst out laughing.

This scene slightly surprised the old servant. He had served Chunyu Yue since their time in Qi State, and it had now been over forty years. In his impression, his master had always been a serious person. He couldn't even remember how many years it had been since he last saw him laugh so happily!

"Master, is there something that makes you happy?" the old servant asked with a bow and a smile.

Chunyu Yue, seeing this, continued to smile foolishly. After a long while, he finally said with a laugh to the old servant, "Today, I'm just inexplicably happy."

As soon as Chunyu Yue thought of the recognition he received at last night's banquet and everyone's strong condemnation of the killing of captives, his mood brightened! It seemed that truly cruel and bloodthirsty people in this world were, after all, a minority.

Moreover, things really turned out as Baixiao Sheng had predicted; his article truly exploded!

At least within his usual social circle, this news had spread, and countless people came to congratulate him!

He even broke his usual habit and had a few extra drinks. He only hoped that the publication of this article could awaken the conscience of more common people and establish a good atmosphere in Great Qin!

The old servant heard this reply and knew his master did not want to say more, so he stopped asking. Just as he was about to make a cup of tea, he heard Chunyu Yue say, "Later, bring me today's Great Qin Daily."

"Alright, then Master, please rest first."

"Mm."

Chunyu Yue nodded.

Then the old servant retreated and waited at the door. Soon, he heard the shouts of a newspaper boy.

The old servant called out, and the boy ran over with a smile. The two exchanged money for the newspaper, working quite tacitly.

Then the old servant took the newspaper and began to read, and as he read, his brows furrowed deeply.

"General Tu Sui, in Lingnan, has decisively defeated the ten-million-strong Baiyue Allied Army!"

He continued to read, and saw that it contained the latest battle report, especially the last sentence: Tu Sui buried alive three million Baiyue Soldiers!

The old servant had heard rumors about his master's recent affairs, and at once, he felt a bad premonition, hurrying towards his master's room!

...At noon,

Lin Yue slowly woke up. The sunlight was dazzling, and his throat felt parched.

Immediately, Yi Qian noticed something was amiss and hurried over. She saw Lin Yue trying to sit up and stepped forward to help him.

"Water."

Lin Yue pointed to the kettle on the table, and Yi Qian carefully brought it to him and fed him water.

Lin Yue felt better after drinking. He then asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Sir, you fainted yesterday morning, and it is now noon," Yi Qian replied softly. "The doctor said you lacked sleep, which led to low spirits. Rest will improve it, and he told us not to disturb you."

"Alright."

Lin Yue nodded, then checked his attribute panel. Seeing that the progress had not changed, he stopped thinking about it.

Afterward, Yi Qian went out to inform everyone that Lin Yue had woken up. Soon, Guo Jia entered with a few people who were not on duty today.

"My Lord, you're finally awake!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Yue awake.

Then, a strange figure suddenly emerged from behind the group. Lin Yue was a bit confused, and Guo Jia, seeing this, explained, "This is Physician Guo. He just came to see if you had woken up, My Lord."

Lin Yue cupped his hands after hearing this: "Thank you, Physician Guo."

Physician Guo waved his hand upon hearing this, then stepped forward, felt Lin Yue's pulse, and then said with a smile, "No need to thank this old man. This old man didn't help you at all, Sir; you merely lacked rest."

"Even so, I apologize for troubling you with the trip."

Physician Guo waved his hand and said with a smile, "No trouble at all. Since you are fine, Sir, this old man will return. I still have patients waiting for me."

"Alright, Dengshan, please see the Physician out."

"Understood."

Yang Dengshan replied.

After the two left, Guo Jia said mysteriously, "My Lord, do you know who Physician Guo is rushing to see?"

"Who?"

"Chunyu Yue!" Guo Jia continued, "Physician Guo said that Chunyu Yue suddenly fainted this morning. He went to treat him and found it was caused by extreme anger. He hasn't woken up yet."

"Lingnan has a result?" Lin Yue reacted instantly.

"Mm."

Guo Jia handed today's newspaper to Lin Yue: "Yesterday, the headline of the Great Qin Daily was Chunyu Yue attacking you for burying alive a million Xiongnu Soldiers. Today's headline is Tu Sui burying alive three million Baiyue Allied Army. No wonder Chunyu Yue is like this."

"Haha, it can be considered a coincidence."

Lin Yue smiled, but this matter was not over, because he was not yet sure whether Chunyu Yue would stubbornly continue or cease and desist.

But Lin Yue guessed it might be the former, because from what he understood, Chunyu Yue was not someone who gave up easily.

Most people his age would lose the ambition to advance, but he was not like that. Moreover, it was said that he had a close relationship with Li Si, but he never made any demands to Li Si, so he probably still had some stubbornness in his heart.

"Oh, where did Zi Long go?" Lin Yue suddenly noticed that Zi Long was not by his side.

"Zi Long saw that you hadn't woken up, My Lord, so he went to train the Cavalrymen," Guo Jia explained.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief; the training of those Cavalrymen indeed could not be interrupted.

Because their progress could be described as rapid, these two hundred people, although their Martial Power had not increased much, had become more versatile!

Thinking of this, Lin Yue got up and tidied himself. After eating a meal with Fengxiao, he had Xiang Zi drive the carriage to the training ground behind Xianyang Palace.

And as he passed a street, he accidentally heard enthusiastic shouts from a teahouse not far away!

"Stop for a moment."

Lin Yue lifted the curtain and looked out, and Xiang Zi immediately stopped the carriage by the roadside.

"Good!"

"General Tu Sui buried alive three million Baiyue Allied Army, strengthening our Great Qin!"

"Gouzi, give me ten more newspapers! I want to buy them to take home as a keepsake!"

"Alright, Uncle Huang, I still have a newspaper from yesterday. If you add two more copper coins, this one is yours too!"

"What kind of rubbish was written in yesterday's headline? I don't even understand it. I'd feel like I was losing money even for one copper coin!"

The second son looked distressed upon hearing this. Now they had all become cunning; they all waited for Shopkeeper Chen to finish buying and read the "Today's Headline" of the Great Qin Daily to everyone. People would only buy it if they thought it was good after listening.

But yesterday, Shopkeeper Chen stopped reading after just the beginning, saying it was not very useful and hard to pronounce. As a result, not a single customer paid to buy it.

But they all had quotas, and if they couldn't sell them, they would lose money.

Just as he was at a loss, a cleanly dressed man walked over and smiled at him, saying, "Little brother, how many of yesterday's newspapers do you still have? Our master wants them all. Just move them to that carriage!"
