Gao Yuan shuddered and sat up from the bed. "What did you say? The Xiongnu lost?"
Qi Lin widened his eyes and nodded. "That's right. The good news has been sent to the Capital. Our army has won a great victory, and the Xiongnu have surrendered!"
"S-Surrendered? It can't be a rumor, right?" Gao Yuan muttered in disbelief. "Although Prefecture You is out of danger, the Xiongnu didn't surrender. They only retreated in defeat and made a comeback a few years later…"
Qi Lin's face darkened. Great Uncle was saying strange things again!
Qi Lin pouted and said, "There's nothing strange about the Xiongnu surrendering. You forgot that Marshal Xiao went to the border."
"Ah…" Gao Yuan was enlightened. "Yes, Xiao Zhenting went to the border. It's different, it's different!"
Qi Lin was tortured by his great uncle's nonsense. "Since you're awake, go to the reception pavilion as soon as possible."
