Chapter 179 Everything in the World Is Just a Matter of a Knife

After Ji Chen handed the jug back, he asked, "I haven't asked the girl for her name yet."

Although he had met her several times, Ji Chen didn't know her name.

"Xia Liyun!"

"summer!"

Ji Chen was surprised. This surname was not given casually. The current Holy Emperor's surname was Xia, and he was also called Emperor Xia. So much so that many people named Xia actively avoid this surname.

And since Xia Liyun dares to take the initiative to admit that her surname is Xia, then her identity...

Xia Liyun chuckled, without explaining or admitting. Some things are good if you understand them in your heart, but not once they are spoken out.

No matter how approachable the king is, he is still a king; no matter how powerful the minister is, he is still a minister. This is called status and rules.

Just two words, as heavy as Mount Tai.

The two of them had a good understanding and didn't talk about it. They were like friends they hadn't seen for a long time, drinking and talking together.

If there are two men, the topic of conversation must be about women.

Men are nothing more than waking up to hold the power of the world and lying drunk on the knees of beautiful women. The former covers the latter, because the former is power and the latter is color. To sum it up in one sentence, a real man cannot lose his power for a day.

But now that they are a man and a woman, the topic of conversation cannot be about sex. Xia Liyun was a noble person, and Ji Chen was an unusual businessman, so they naturally talked about the current situation in Beizhou.

Since we are talking about the situation in Beizhou, there are some unavoidable topics, such as the border wilderness, the Snow Clan, the Snow Demon, and the Divine Fire Sect.

According to Xia Liyun, the Shenhuo Sect was actually transmitted from the Northern Territory. Because its teachings refuted the theory of governing the country in Daxia, it was classified as a demonic sect.

The real power of the Shenhuo Cult is not weaker than that of Daxia, and it is involved with the demon clan and the barbarian tribe.

Finally, Xia Liyun also revealed some news that surprised Ji Chen.

General Xu plans to use troops against the Snow Clan, probably soon.

Ji Chen expected this, but it was also unexpected.

In fact, Ji Chen had already discovered that Liangzhou Mansion seemed to be a lot more lively, and many young heroes had come to Liangzhou City. Only now did he understand that it was related to the war.

The war on the border is also a good opportunity for these young heroes to make contributions.

There are children of sects, officials' children, academy students, and demon-slayers. Three religions and nine streams, as well as merchants and merchants, all flocked to Liangzhou City.

Some are for experience, some are for getting ahead, and some are for making money.

Therefore, Liangzhou City is very lively recently.

In restaurants and teahouses, it is common to see Confucian students talking eloquently, fighting poems and swords.

The Snow Tribe in the Bianhuang has been disturbing the people for more than a day or two. Mr. Fang had long expected this battle.

The two drank all night long and talked about everything.

Ji Chen felt that Xia Liyun wanted to win over him. It can't be said that she was trying to win over her. Ji Chen felt that she wanted to date him.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Xia Liyun's expression was very vague, but Ji Chen understood it clearly.

Have you ever seen a woman and a man lip-locking and drinking a bottle of wine together?

At least not in this world.

However, Ji Chen didn't want to get involved in the court battle for the time being, so he didn't pick up the topic of Xia Liyun.

Kill well and level up well, this is what Ji Chen needs to do now.

Don't delay killing and upgrading because of business.

It’s so interesting to fight over and over again.

In fact, in Ji Chen's opinion, if there is anything to fight about, and if it can be solved with a knife, don't use your mouth.

Everything in the world can only be solved with a knife. Although the knife cannot solve the problem, it can erase the problem, which can be regarded as fundamentally solving the problem.

"Does the Dingbei Hou Mansion know?" Xia Liyun suddenly asked.

"I know!" Ji Chen pointed to the tallest building in Liangzhou City, "where the nobles live."

Xia Liyun said: "Many Confucian scholars and heroes came to Liangzhou City. They all came for this war, and some of them came for you. You made a speech in the academy and caused a vision. You are known as the person most likely to become a literary saint. Many. Everyone wants to come and pay homage to you and exchange poetry and literature.”

Ji Chen was immediately surprised, when did he become so famous.

Seeing Ji Chen's look, Xia Liyun chuckled and said, "You still don't understand the concept of literary saints. There has never been a literary master since ancient times. If these people can surpass you in poetry and literature, they will become famous in one fell swoop."

Ji Chen said: "In other words, I have become a stepping stone now, and everyone wants to step on it."

Xia Liyun took the wine bottle and took a sip.

"A friend of mine came from Beijing. She is the daughter of a general, but she likes poetry and making friends with Confucian scholars. She plans to attend the Spring Festival in two years. In a few days, she will hold a banquet at Dingbei Hou Mansion and invite Distinguished Confucian students from all over Liangzhou Prefecture communicated and discussed topics. "

The so-called guessing questions is actually to figure out the Chunwei questions and prepare in advance. Once you win the bet, you will have two years of preparation time and you will be on the list easily.

In this era of lack of entertainment, people's biggest hobby is hosting banquets and gathering friends.

Common ways for literati to play are drinking, composing poems, writing essays, and fighting swords

Question-taking is also one of the projects to brainstorm and expand your thinking.

Every spring, many people bet on the topic and get on the list.

You can't say he cheated. He won the exam based on his ability. After two or three years of preparation, he got on the exam.

Xia Liyun learned that Ji Chen would attend the Spring Festival two years later, so he invited him to the party.

Ji Chen said: "You want me to go too?"

Xia Liyun nodded, "If you don't go, those Confucian scholars will try their best to find you. Scholars' desire for fame is beyond your imagination. Now that they have you as a target, they will take the trouble to challenge you."

Ji Chen said: "In that case, I will go. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It's just that my stepping stone is a bit high. I just don't know if they can take a step. Don't be careful to pull the balls."

Instead of being annoyed in the future, it is better to solve it once and for all, so Ji Chen decided to attend the so-called party.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the two talked about the situation in the world.

The Great Xia Kingdom is located in the East Wilderness and connected to the North Territory. It has boundless fertile land and many covetous people. The demon clan is one of them. The overthrow of the previous dynasty has a lot to do with the demon clan. Emperor Xia suddenly appeared, swept away the demons, and founded the Xia Dynasty.

The establishment of the Demon Suppression Department is aimed at the demon clan.

Most of the time, Xia Liyun talked and Ji Chen listened. He didn't know as much about this world as Xia Liyun.

Until the moon was in the east, Xia Liyun stepped on the moon and left, just as she came on the moon.

But she left the wine pot to Ji Chen. The wine pot was very beautiful and palm-sized. The two drank wine all night and didn't finish it. There was something mysterious in it.

The moon fell, the sun rose

Ji Chen took out the Pojun horizontal sword and prepared to refine the sword.

The sword is like a person, it needs to be refined often.

This time when Ji Chen entered the armory, he still did not choose a weapon, but took some rare metals, and he planned to refine these metals into the sword.

He pinched the big sun seal, and the sun's true fire appeared in his palm.

An hour later, the sword was successfully refined, and the blade had divine light flowing.

With each time he refined the sword, the quality of the blade would be better.

In the future, just keep washing the sword every day. This is a long-term job. If you insist on washing it with the sun's true fire every day, the divine essence of the sword will become stronger and stronger.

In the next few days, Ji Chen stayed at home. His mission for the year had been completed long ago, so he planned to settle down for a while and sort out the future path.

Xie Anbing came to Ji Chen to thank him for recommending himself to Ding Zhao. Ding Zhao planned to transfer him to Chaos to establish the Demon Suppression Division.

He came to Ji Chen to express his gratitude and to ask for advice.

After all, Ji Chen had just returned from there and knew more about it.

Xia Ziran had also come to Ji Chen twice, just to drink and write poems.

He was beaten by Dean Yao because Ji Chen gave him the idea of ​​​​Spring and Autumn 6,000 times.

Two days later, Xia Ziran found Ji Chen and went to Dingbei Marquis Mansion together. This guy also received an invitation from Xia Liyun for a party.

"Let's go, Brother Beigui, this party was initiated by two nobles in Beijing. Many famous Confucian scholars in Beizhou have come. We must not be late for such a grand event."

"Do you like this kind of party very much?" Ji Chen was curious. He actually didn't feel anything about this kind of party. He didn't have to participate in the Spring Examination. It was not his only way out.

"'Brother Beigui, you don't know that this kind of gathering often involves poetry competitions and swordfights, and there are prizes. After a gathering, some people make a lot of money, some people lose everything, and some people even become famous all over the world."

Ji Chen laughed and said, "You are not thinking of stepping on me to become famous, are you!"

"You are joking. If I had the ability, I would have stepped on you when I was in the academy."

Xia Ziran did not hide the fact that he wanted to step on Ji Chen to become famous, but he just didn't have the ability.
