Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

I saw a servant trotting in with a newspaper.

Everyone immediately put the previous topic behind them and turned their eyes to the newspaper in the servant's hand. Some people even stood up impatiently.

after all.

Listen to others say good things about you.

Who wouldn't be happy?

Soon, several newspapers were distributed to them. Those who could read immediately spread them out and looked for relevant pages, feeling as excited as if they were waiting for the prize draw.

"Alchemy, recruiting alchemists will be rewarded..."

"Novel section, 'Guo Jing shoots two eagles with one arrow and receives martial arts instruction from a master'... Never mind, I'll read this chapter later."

"..."

"Got it! Here it is!"

Everyone's eyes quickly scanned the newspaper pages, and soon they found it. Someone immediately announced the winners of this issue: "'The Secrets that Marquis Jingchuan Has to Tell'! You were the first one to appear in the newspaper!"

"It's not me, it's not me, ah!"

"Let's wait for the next issue. It will be our turn next time!"

"..."

Many people suddenly showed expressions of loss and regret.

but.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, whose hair and beard were already somewhat white, stood up proudly at this moment, an irrepressible smile spreading across his wrinkled old face: "Hehehehe! It's actually me, don't be discouraged, maybe I'll be on the next episode, hahahahahaha!"

Among this group of Huaixi nobles, his age and qualifications can be ranked at the top. After all, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang when he just started his army.

But at this moment.

Cao Zhen, however, felt a bit proud.

This group of people came from humble backgrounds, had humble beginnings, and all had similar flaws. Basically, they didn't have a good reputation. Cao Zhen never thought that when he was old, he would have a chance to save his reputation.

"Oh, everyone, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent matters to deal with at home, so I can't chat with you anymore. I'm afraid I can't have dinner at the Duke of Liang's Mansion today. Excuse me." Cao Zhen just threw the newspaper in his hand, made up an excuse and left with a smile.

After saying this, he politely clasped his fists with everyone, turned around and walked towards the door, holding his head high and chest out, taking two steps at a time, and soon disappeared.

Everyone looked at Cao Zhen's disappearing back in surprise.

Then he realized what was happening, shook his head helplessly, and complained, "That's fake! What's going on at home? The old man ran so fast, he must have slipped off to some restaurant or inn to show off!"

"You're already so old, I didn't notice it before."

"Hahahaha!"

"Why are you rolling your eyes, Lord Heqing? You've done this before."

"..."

Regarding Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen's actions, everyone complained with a hint of envy, and at the same time began to secretly look forward to the next prize list.

The less people have, the more they want.

For this group of Huaixi nobles, this sudden good reputation was a great benefit that fell from the sky.

Amidst laughter.

No one realized that they had become part of the game.

……

Let’s talk about Cao Zhen.

Just as everyone guessed, after finally winning the prize, he certainly couldn't run back home, otherwise what would be the difference between that and walking in the night in gorgeous clothes?

I took a long stroll on Yingtianfu Street.

Finally, Cao Zhen went into the largest restaurant nearby.

today.

The restaurant's business is booming.

The publication of each issue of the newspaper would trigger heated discussions among the people of Yingtian Prefecture. Some people were worried that they would not be able to grab the current issue of the newspaper, while others wanted to inquire about the situation and communicate, so they naturally took seats in such places early.

now.

The storyteller on the stand slammed the gavel on the table with a thud, his eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation as he read, "Next, let's discuss this issue's story: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Chapter 3, 'Guo Jing shoots two eagles with a single arrow and receives martial arts instruction from a master!'"
