Chapter 205 Tit for Tat
Li Changzhi, Xia Liyun once mentioned it to Ji Chen.
The prime minister proposed to Emperor Xia, wanting to marry Xia Liyun to Li Changzhi.
In fact, Xia Liyun should be one generation older than Li Changzhi, but for dynasties and families that are thousands or tens of thousands of years old, generation and age are not a problem at all.
In some powerful families, in order to ensure the purity of blood and prevent loss, there is even a saying that those who gave birth to me cannot, those I gave birth to cannot, and the rest can do everything.
So this Li Changzhi is his rival in love, at least Xia Liyun and Li Changzhi think so.
Ji Chen has not yet agreed.
With Li Changzhi's identity and status, Ji Chen does not believe that he does not know what Xia Liyun did after coming to Liangzhou City, so today's meal is a bit interesting.
Xia Liyun wants to provoke a fight between him and Li Changzhi?
Or does he want to use himself as a shield?
Ji Chen's few good feelings for Xia Liyun are decreasing. He hates women who are self-righteous and calculating.
"So you are the young prime minister, I have heard of you for a long time!"
Ji Chen replied with a polite remark, neither flattering nor alienating and hostile.
Li Changzhi said: "The achievements of our ancestors are the honor of our ancestors. We young people have to rely on ourselves and cannot continue to waste the blessings of our ancestors."
Zhao Qingcheng began to introduce Ji Chen, "This is Ji Chen, Ji Beigui."
She knew Ji Chen's identity. Ji Chen's identity was not lower than theirs, and in terms of seniority, he was even higher than them.
Li Changzhi said: "I have heard of you for a long time. I have heard of your fame in Beijing, young literary saint. I like your poems very much. Many people in Beijing like them very much. They are all waiting for you to come to Beijing to discuss the Dao with them."
Although his words were gentle, Ji Chen heard a hint of sharpness and hostility.
Discussing the Dao in Beijing, the entire Beijing is their territory. This is a provocation and a declaration of war. It depends on whether you dare to enter Beijing. If you don't even dare to enter Beijing, what qualifications do you have to compete with him.
Ji Chen said, "You are too kind. It is just a coincidence. It is not worthy of being presented in a formal hall. I will go to Beijing to take the exam in the spring. I will then discuss with the talented scholars in Beijing."
"Haha! Even the poems of the young sage are not worthy of being presented in a formal hall. Wouldn't the scholars in the world be ashamed?"
The young man laughed, giving people a very easy-going feeling, but Ji Chen knew that such a person could not be easy-going. After all, he had become his rival in love. However, people like Li Changzhi would not put their hatred on the surface. At least those who are qualified to sit at the same table for dinner would not embarrass others casually.
If you want to deal with him, you have to find a way to kill him secretly.
This is the mind and scheming cultivated by the aristocratic family. It is not comparable to the family of Xu Chengwei. Once you offend, you will turn against him in person and directly threaten to kill you.
Li Changzhi said again: "I have heard about your battle some time ago. You are invincible under the demigod. Let's have a fight when we have time. I also want to see how sharp your sword is after ten years of hard work."
"I won't let you down!" Ji Chen said calmly.
Li Changzhi smiled gently, and then said: "I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, but I have never tried it. Today I will show it to you. Who has any injustice? The monsters of the Northern Wilderness have repeatedly invaded our borderland. Everyone in the borderland is indignant. Can the sword of Brother Beigui speak up for them?"
"Of course!"
"I'll wait for you in the borderland!"
"You will wait!"
The confrontation between the two began here, and they competed on the battlefield of the Northern Wilderness.
This meal was not itchy or painful. An hour later, Ji Chen left Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
An exquisite wine pot hung on the tree branch, swaying gently.
When Xia Liyun saw the wine pot, her breath was short. She walked forward and took down the wine pot, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Am I wrong?
After leaving Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Ji Chen came to the Demon Suppression Division. He wanted to retrieve Zhao Pan's mission file, but he ran into Ding Zhao, and then followed Ding Zhao to the study.
After learning Ji Chen's intention, Ding Zhao took Zhao Pan's mission file.
"Zhao Pan may have been influenced by you and chose to resign from his clerk position, transferred to a small flag of Zhenheiqi, and took the initiative to take an investigation mission. He wanted to go out for training."
Although Zhao Pan had already left when Ding Zhao took office, he still knew everyone in Liangzhou Mansion's Demon Suppression Division very well.
Ji Chen took the file from Ding Zhao and looked through it.
After the last battle, Ji Chen felt that Ding Zhao's attitude towards him had changed a lot.
Before, he had a kind of rejection hostility towards him, which was a hostility of dissatisfaction and jealousy. Now there is no more, and his attitude has also changed a lot.
Perhaps after that battle, he recognized Ji Chen as the first person of the young generation.
After writing down the main contents of the file, Ji Chen returned the file to Ding Zhao.
Ding Zhao also spoke up at this time: "I have a task here, I would like to ask you to help, after thinking about it, I absolutely think that only you are the most suitable!"
Yu Jichen's task target has been completed, Ding Zhao can't force him, so he used a negotiating tone.
"Tell me!"
It just so happens that Ji Chen has nothing to do now. If it doesn't conflict with the upcoming war in Beihuang, it's not bad to do a task by the way.
Earn some killing points, no matter what you do, you can't earn.
He must go to the Beihuang battlefield, not only because of the agreement with Li Changzhi, but mainly because it is easy to harvest killing points on the battlefield.
Ding Zhao said: "It's still a problem with the chaotic land. I sent Xie Anbing there, intending to establish the Demon Suppression Division there, but encountered some trouble. I want you to go there to help him. You are familiar with the place, and there is also the Tiandao League you established, so only you are the most suitable for this task."
"In addition to the fixed reward, I can make the decision and give you an extra piece of rare metal, Yanjing Iron."
Ding Zhao is also very good at using people. Whether in the officialdom or the business world, interests are eternal. If you use power to oppress others for a long time, you will eventually be betrayed.
He needs to stabilize Liangzhou Prefecture and make achievements quickly to slap those bastards in the face, and then sit firmly on the throne of the pacification envoy.
Now in the Liangzhou Prefecture's demon suppression department, the strongest person besides him is Ji Chen.
He can't leave Liangzhou Prefecture easily, so he can only ask Ji Chen for help.
Ji Chen was a little confused. He once reminded Xie Anbing that he could go directly to the Tiandao League when he went to the Chaos Land, and they would help him.
If Xie Anbing was in trouble, it meant that the Tiandao League was also in trouble. The major forces in the Chaos Land had basically been eliminated by himself. If there was really trouble, it would probably come from the Northern Territory.
After thinking about it, Ji Chen chose to accept this task. The Chaos Land was not far from the Northern Wasteland. He went there to take a look and went there directly when the war in the Northern Wasteland started.
And Zhao Pan's task seemed to be on the way.
"Okay, we'll set off in three days. I want to use these three days to refine a carriage. After I complete the mission, I may go to the Northern Wasteland battlefield and won't come back to Liangzhou City, so the reward must be given to me in advance."
