Chapter 600: Beginning but No End Wei Changtian
At dusk, Wei Changtian and Li Yang, who "doesn't visit brothels", came out of a brothel called "Early Spring" and then said goodbye for a while.
Li Yang still had to go to the bookstore to proofread tomorrow's "Beijing News", while Wei Changtian went to the Xuan Jing Si.
He had no other purpose in going to Xuan Jing Si. He just wanted to complete the "Victory Pledge" he made two years ago.
After all, he left after winning only 90 games, and there were still ten games left to play, so it was a bit regrettable.
The idea was good, but he greatly underestimated his influence.
As soon as he entered the martial arts hall, Wei Changtian was instantly surrounded by hundreds of Xuan Jingsi officers. The scene was very similar to the fan meeting of some celebrities in his previous life.
In this situation, let alone fighting, it is even a question whether Wei Changtian can escape successfully.
"Master Wei! It's Master Wei!!"
"I never thought I would be able to see Master Wei in person in my lifetime! This life is worth it!!"
"Sir! Tell us about Ling Bo Pavilion!"
"Master Wei! My little sister is pretty and still unmarried. Are you interested?!"
"Master Wei! My elder sister is forty years old this year! Her husband just died a few days ago. Are you interested?!"
"Are you stupid? Why would Young Master Wei be interested in your elder sister?"
"Hey, who knows, you might like this?"
"Too."
"Master Wei! I have no women in my family. I am the only man! You probably have no interest in me."
“.”
There was an extremely excited noise. Wei Changtian stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the wooden sign next to the Class 2 arena not far away.
This is the "scoreboard" I set up at that time. I didn't expect that it is still preserved today.
Looking at the eighteen correct characters engraved after the word "Victory" on the wooden sign, as well as more traces engraved behind the word "Defeat", Wei Changtian smiled, then retracted his gaze, no longer thinking about finishing the remaining ten games.
With his current strength, it would only take him ten moves to win ten battles.
And although these officers could not possibly defeat me, if I proposed it myself, there would definitely be many people willing to help me.
However, Wei Changtian was still not prepared to fight anymore.
He made a vow to win 100 times at that time, with the only purpose of motivating himself to practice hard.
Now that this group of servants can no longer help me improve, the remaining ten wins are meaningless.
For the sake of the so-called "beginning and end", Wei Changtian was too lazy to do such things in front of outsiders.
Or maybe he no longer needs to prove anything to others.
"Wang Er, let's go."
After saying a few perfunctory words to the people around him, Wei Changtian left the martial arts hall.
Although the group of officers were excited, they did not dare to act as disrespectful as the fans in their previous lives, so they did not follow him, but just stood there and watched him go away.
"Why did Master Wei leave so soon?" someone asked puzzled.
"Hey, didn't you see that Master was just looking at the winning card?"
Someone who was careful guessed: "I guess the young master originally wanted to fulfill his oath of victory."
"Huh? Then why don't you fight again?"
An officer from the Willow Leaf Office said with regret: "Although we cannot defeat you, if you ask me, I am willing to go on stage even if I cannot get out of bed for three days!"
"So this is the difference between you and the young master."
The man who just spoke shook his head and said, "The previous ninety victories were all won by you with your punches and kicks. Every bar after the word Victory was a real victory."
"But with your current strength, what's the point of defeating us again? It would be better to keep this victory card here to inspire future generations."
"hiss"
“That’s true.”
Everyone was stunned, then nodded in unison as if they had suddenly realized something, and the look in their eyes when they looked at the wooden sign again became different.
They seemed to see again the disheveled man standing on the stage, and saw how he was unwilling to give up even after losing fifty-eight games in a row.
Suddenly, someone sighed.
"Alas, ever since the young master left for Shuzhou and stopped coming to compete, I always feel like something is missing in the government office."
"Hahaha, it's because I'm short of the fifty taels of silver that you give me for every loss!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately made a loud sarcasm, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The laughter made the person who was speaking blush, but he did not argue.
He lowered his head and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Anyway, I feel like this capital city isn't as interesting as before."
East of the city, Sophora japonica lane.
Different from the bustling and noisy scene in the Xuan Jingsi Yamen at this time, although there were many people gathered in a large house without a plaque at the end of the alley, the atmosphere was very quiet.
"Lord Li."
"Master Zhang, you are here early."
"Yes, today is the first time that the young master shows up, so it's better to wait for him earlier."
"By the way, I heard that the emperor just summoned Lord Lu. I wonder if he can make it in time."
"I don't know. Hahahaha, Lord Sun, did you just come from the palace?"
"Yes, the war is imminent and there is too much work to do."
“.”
In the spacious main hall, a dozen old men including Li Kan were standing and chatting, while the sound of carriages could be heard from time to time outside the courtyard, and people would knock on the door and enter the house one after another.
The carriages these people were riding in had no flags on them, making it impossible to tell the identities of the passengers.
In fact, even if ordinary people see these old men, they will most likely not recognize them.
However, just because ordinary people cannot recognize it doesn’t mean that everyone cannot recognize it.
At least if Ning Wenjun were here, he would definitely be able to call out everyone's name.
After all, these people all stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony during the morning court session.
That's right.
At this time, all the people in the house were from the same boat society.
This house is a property of the Tongzhou Society, and people often come here to discuss matters privately on weekdays.
But this is the first time that so many people have gathered together.
Even when Ning Wenjun officially announced his "usurpation of the throne", it was not so lively. The scent of agarwood curled around the cranes or peacocks embroidered on each official uniform.
With so many court officials gathered together, at first glance, if you didn't know, you would think they were holding a court session.
But it was dusk now, and this was not the imperial palace, so the person they were waiting for was definitely not Ning Wenjun.
"Master Li, did the young master say when he would arrive?"
A white-haired old man came up to Li Kan and asked in a low voice, "It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to ask the people in the back to prepare the wine and food?"
"The young master only said that he would go to the Xuanjing Division first, but he didn't say how long he would stay in the Division."
Li Kan thought for a moment, then ordered a servant, "Go, tell the people behind to start preparing the banquet."
"yes!"
The servant immediately took the order and left, and Li Kan then explained to the old man:
"Master Wang, thank you for your reminder."
"If the young master comes without having dinner, it may be too late to prepare a banquet by then."
"yes."
The old man nodded: "It's always better to be prepared in advance."
"Um"
“.”
One was Li Kan, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the other was a third-rank official with a peacock embroidered on his clothes.
Both of them are obviously important officials of the country, but now they are discussing such trivial matters as "whether to prepare a banquet" in a very serious manner.
What’s more important is that even though the people around heard it, no one showed the slightest disdain or contempt.
This shows what kind of status this upcoming "young master" has.
As for where the "young master" is now. "Brother Zhou Cheng! Long time no see!"
"Hahaha! Brother Wei! I thought you must be very busy today, and I was planning to visit you at the Wei Mansion tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come first!"
"You said you were coming, so just come. Why did you bring so many things with you?"
"It's not good to come empty-handed. Besides, I have something to ask for."
"Hmm? Brother Wei, what do you need me to do? Just tell me!"
"Well, Brother Zhou, do you still remember that two years ago someone in the company started a bet on whether I would marry Wan'er?"
"I remember it, but it's hard, isn't it?"
"Yes! Didn't Wan'er ask you to gamble twenty taels of silver? She has wanted to get the money back for a long time, but when she thought about the long journey, she would have to spend half of the money just on the reward for sending it, so she never did it."
"And this time when I was going back to Beijing, she urged me to come and ask you for the twenty taels of silver."
“.”
Zhou Cheng: “???”
