The bookstore owner smiled and nodded.

Immediately afterward, Sun Zhang left the bookstore in a hurry and headed towards the palace.

The people working in the shops of the Royal Trading Company were all selected by Lü Qiang and Zhao Zhong. In addition to helping the Royal Trading Company manage the shops, they also had another responsibility: to gather intelligence!

Meanwhile, the newsboy, carrying two stacks of newspapers, quickly arrived at the waiting crowd. By this time, the nearby residents had all learned of the news and gathered there.

Before long, the two stacks of newspapers in the newspaper boy's hands were sold out, and many people still couldn't buy them.

Seeing this, the newsboy made a promise to everyone and then ran excitedly toward the bookstore again.

Meanwhile, the remaining newspaper vendors and children scattered to various parts of Luoyang.

The cries of these vendors filled almost every street and alley in Luoyang.

Upon learning the contents and price of the newspaper, students, wandering knights, and illiterate commoners alike eagerly bought it.

It truly proves the saying: "A two-cent newspaper won't make you lose out, nor will it fool you."

For a time, throughout Luoyang, people could be seen reading newspapers everywhere, whether on the streets, in academies, or in teahouses.

Imperial Academy.

A student from the Imperial Academy was walking along, reading a newspaper as he went:

"The Taihang Minister and his entourage, acting on His Majesty's orders, were sent as envoys to the Xianbei. They departed from Luoyang, passed through Jiuyuan, and headed straight for the grasslands, first passing through the Southern Xiongnu tribes..."

The newspaper began with a beautiful description of the grassland scenery, which immediately captivated the college student.

The student, almost oblivious to everything else, continued reading:

"The next day, as they were traveling, they suddenly saw a strong wind blowing in the distance, followed by a thunderous sound, and the ground beneath their feet trembled violently."

Taihang Qing was greatly shocked. He looked up and saw...

"Huh? That's it?"

As he was reading, he suddenly realized that there was nothing more to come, and the student was taken aback.

"Damn it, what exactly did I see...? It was just a few words missing, why wasn't it written down?"

Just as the student was stunned, a roar suddenly came from the side.
