With the mellow wine, tender and smooth skin, slight or strong friction, and the sense of accomplishment after winning the first prize, Zhao Quanmin found a happy node in his life.

A dozen young people were drinking heartily together in the Art Museum. They were all noble children who had just gained fame. Scholars may seem inconspicuous, but it means that they have everything they already have and complete the foundation of nobility.

Title, official position, and fame, all three can actually be achieved by just one scholar.

A scholar from a poor family may have to struggle hard in the countryside. If he can't make further progress, he may have to live in a secluded life for the rest of his life. For aristocratic young men, it is a more direct way to obtain official positions through their father's operation and fame.

Zhao Quanhui wanted to be an official in the capital first, and then continue to try the provincial examination. Many noble children will choose this method, and this is exactly what the so-called accumulation of grassroots experience is.

Of course, if they have enough knowledge, it would be best if they want to climb up the imperial examination road. Unfortunately, most gentlemen do not have this ability.

Every three years, only 200 people in the entire Great Xia Dynasty can climb the path of being born as a Jinshi. 200 people will lament that they have the same birthplace as a Jinshi. Even if they fight for their father, the road will be stained with blood - for the officialdom of the Great Xia Dynasty For example, three years is like one month for a woman.

The waitress next to him was chuckling. Zhao Quan was holding the wine glass and kept touching it with his right hand. He sighed for a long time and said, "I can't stay today, but it's time to go back."

"It's so early." Sitting in the middle of the table was Lu Anping. His chances of inheriting the title of King of Dongshan were not great, so he paid great attention to making friends with powerful people. As a descendant of a foreign vassal, it was difficult for him to directly obtain real power in the court, so he only Can save the country through curves.

Zhao Quanwen smiled sheepishly and said, "Today is the day of releasing the results. We can't stay too long. I'll leave first."

As he spoke, he stumbled to his feet.

"I'll go out with you." Two or three people next to him also stood up. They were all candidates with fathers in their generation and couldn't stay out too late.

Lu Anping was a little older and was too drunk to stand up. He almost leaned on the dancer beside him before he walked to the bed. He said hello twice in the cold wind, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Today I want to meet you." Two people sleep together.”

The dancer became coquettish, and the others at the table began to play drums. They stood up with a smile and said, "Master Lu is very energetic. It's best for you two to find two more sisters."

"No, I just need to work on them a few more times." Lu Anping said, gently licking the dancer's neck with his tongue.

The atmosphere immediately began to change in a corrupting direction.

The biggest difference between brothels in the capital and brothels in other places lies in the different selling methods. Although the dancers accompanied the smiling faces, they did not want to satisfy the men during the banquet, so they were avoiding talking and laughing, but some anxiously pressed the men against the windows and kissed them randomly.

Compared to the chaos in the room, Lu Anping preferred to have sex outside. Like several of his classmates, he grabbed the dancer with the weakest waist and rubbed her against the window. He was not afraid of the river at all. In the cold wind, he opened his mouth and swayed downwards, and all he tasted on his lips was a piece of soft meat...

The clear and greasy moans put his ears to rest.

The carriage carrying Zhao Quanmin and others drove gently across the arch bridge.

Suddenly, a yellow fire flashed in front of Lu Anping's eyes.

The "boom" sound only rang once, and Lu Anping felt his ears hurt so much that he couldn't hear anything.

He shouted anxiously, and looked at the river where the sound came from. The gray arch bridge was covered by fire and thick smoke. The appearance of the bridge was completely gone. There were burning things on both sides of the river bank, and some looked like railings and walls. , some look like human bodies.

Lu Anping couldn't help but leaned over and vomited. It's not because the rabbit died and the fox was sad, but because he drank too much.

Cheng Jinzhou also didn't expect that a few kilograms of nitroglycerine would be so powerful. The flying gravel would hit a place almost a thousand meters away. No wonder the Europeans were so afraid that they shut down all their factories.

Lu Xu was also in a daze for a moment, looked at his right hand and said, "It's almost as powerful as my second-level star array."

Cheng Jinzhou pressed his ears with his hands to relieve the pressure, and did not respond to Lu Xu's words. If a star warlock wants to explode this kind of power, it must consume at least 50 star powers. Even a second-level star warlock can only use it a few times a day. The strength of the Star Warlock is more like that of a special force and cannot be used as a regular field force.

Although Cao Feng is not as unscrupulous as Lu Xu, he actually has no feelings about killing people. Perhaps in the eyes of the star warlocks, it is natural to kill a few people casually.

The fires on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were like torches during the New Year. Cheng Jinzhou did not want to confirm whether Zhao Quanfu was dead, so he simply said: "Let's go back first."

Cheng Jinzhou had a strange feeling after killing someone easily, perhaps his love rival.

Fortunately, this feeling quickly disappeared without a trace.

People are always very adaptable. Men in the 19th century would kill each other for women, and women in the 21st century would kill each other for men. Cheng Jinzhou comforted himself: In this era, some things are inevitable.

…

In the upper echelons of the Daxia Dynasty, Zhao Quanfu's death caused some slight disturbances.

Just as some gentlemen described it, Prince Nanling was somewhat valuable in the eyes of the royal family, and his protest naturally showed value.

However, paying attention did not solve the problem. The person in charge of the Ministry of Punishment even linked the matter with the murder in front of the Liyuan Gate that day. The statement is also convincing: someone in the former tried to kill Zhao Quanhui but failed, and assassinated him again after the rural examination.

As for the power of explosives, even if someone thinks about the Star Warlock, they will keep silent. Moreover, the Star Warlock Association also proved that the explosion of the stone bridge was not caused by the star array.

Cheng Jinzhou felt that he had done everything he could and would never leave anyone with an excuse - the two star warlocks would not speak for Zhao Quanhui. He even had enough reasons to ask the two to speak for him. In addition, he did not have a star array. I don't think anyone will be suspicious.

The only thing he didn't know was that Zhao Quanhua wanted to kill Cheng Jinzhou at that time, and Lu Anping also knew about it.

It is the most natural inference to be killed instead of killing someone.

Seeing the tragic death of Zhao Quanhua, Lu Anping actually showed fear when he saw Cheng Jinzhou again.

Of course, at this time in Hongwen Hall, many people would show unnatural fear when facing Cheng Jinzhou.

The two-star warlocks could only be said to be treated politely, but the two star warlocks who always followed Cheng Jinzhou made countless people feel uncomfortable. The children who can go to Hongwen Hall are not from a wealthy family, but they are the children of the royal family. They have seen their fathers guarded by two star warlocks.

Even for the royal family's so-called Royal Star Warlock, most of them would stay in the palace on weekdays. Unless the emperor was traveling, he might not even see the Star Warlock. Needless to say, Jiang Huang, a fourth-level star warlock, is too busy with his own research, unless there is a major military or national event, or it will not appear at all.

Cheng Jinzhou came to the Hongwen Hall to report because before participating in the provinces and cities, the scholars still need to undergo a qualification review. If they do not pass the Hongwen Hall and relevant people, this year's scholars will probably not be able to take the exam three years later, so he is a regular Come to class in a good manner.

On the other hand, it is Shen Cong's mentality of showing off.

When two genuine star warlocks appeared next to Cheng Jinzhou, Shen Cong immediately began to praise that he had made the right choice. Even if Cheng Jinzhou didn't mention Hongwen Hall, he would still drag Xiao Cheng here for a walk. It's like the Pekingese you bought turned into a Tibetan Mastiff overnight. If you don't walk around the community for half a month and take the opportunity to expand your impression among the neighbors, the value of the Tibetan Mastiff will not be realized at all.

The rural examination did not interrupt the rhythm of Hongwen Hall. Among the gentlemen who studied here, most were princes, princes, grandsons, princes, grandsons, etc. - Judging from the fertility and reproductive capabilities accumulated by the royal family for hundreds of years, the small Hongwen Hall was only Only close relatives among them can be accepted, and even if these people want to take the imperial examination, they will mainly take the examination. As a test and show off, most of them just work hard, just waiting to get a good one from the teacher. Comment, go home and inherit the title, and continue to harm little girls and boys.

If there wasn't such a huge competitive mentality among the students, Cheng Jinzhou would quite like the life in Hongwen Hall. Now he is sitting in the room, but he doesn't even think about sleeping. I think back then, his favorite thing in the classroom was sleeping.

Shen Cong watched helplessly as Cheng Jinzhou and Cao Feng were quietly discussing geometry in the back row, and he was writing and drawing in his notebook. He was not a star warlock, so he had to look similar if he didn't want to go to class.

But in his mind, Shen Cong was constantly thinking about how to maximize his profits.

Like most students, no one had the intention to listen to what the old master said on stage. When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, everyone rushed out in a swarm.

Cheng Jinzhou also stretched and stood up. As an astrologer who studies practice, Cao Feng's geometry is equivalent to the level of Euclidean geometry, and is even less rigorous. He can chat with him for a long time if he takes out something casually, but he is a quite knowledgeable person. Something that gives a sense of accomplishment.

Since he wanted to plant real rice, he had something to do with Cao Feng, and he was talking about elementary geometry. Without having to hide his secrets, Cao Feng benefited a lot, and his attitude towards Cheng Jinzhou seemed to soon be changing towards Xiang Xin's. Angle shift.

Those who are masters of mathematics are their teachers, and they cannot make any lies. It is clear who is strong and who is weak, and there is no fighting to the death of martial arts. It is most natural for the star warlocks to use this as a hierarchy.

"Next time you chat, it's best to find a restaurant or something like that. You don't even have to drink here." Lu Xu muttered and stood up. He was an outlier among star warlocks and had no interest in mathematics, science, etc.

"If this Lord Star Warlock has some leisure time, Xiao Wang has prepared some drinks. I wonder if I can reward him with a favor? Mr. Cheng, I have been missing for some days. Xiao Wang is polite here." It was Yanping County who walked in from the door. Wang, the third prince of this dynasty.

The yellow silk jade belt and moderately tailored robes made this famous prince look like a star in the upper class. Although Cheng Jinzhou became a star warlock, he could not escape the officialdom of the Great Xia Dynasty. He still bowed and said hello respectfully. .

"Mr. Cheng, you're welcome." The last time the third prince spoke to Cheng Jinzhou, he used the name Mr. Cheng, but now he used Mr. Cheng just as smoothly. He said with a smile on his face: "This king is here to express his gratitude. Your."

"oh?"

"This time, with the surname Wei, I guess Mr. Cheng will definitely be able to go to high school. Sure enough, he won a total of ten thousand taels of silver. I thought I couldn't win it alone, so I wanted to give some of it to you, which can be regarded as reciprocating the favor." The third prince smiled happily, There is no so-called reserve as seen in the past.
