Chapter 154: Split Novelist

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, showing a dark blue sky, with stars hanging in the sky and the moon gradually becoming full. It is almost mid-April.

After Concubine Mo cleaned up the table, she lit two bright candlesticks that could illuminate the entire courtyard.

Hu Wenlang drank cup of tea, and he really couldn't bear to lose his temper with Zhou Tieyi, so he could only ask Mo Fei to bring the things on his desk.

If you don't bring out the real stuff, I guess this tea will be useless.

Concubine Mo smiled slightly, thinking that it was time to let Wen Lang try out the methods of the second brother of the Zhou family.

Mo Fei brought over a newspaper, split it into two parts, handed the upper part to Zhou Tiege, and the lower part to Zhou Tieyi.

"This is?"

Zhou Tiege asked casually.

“This season’s quarterly publication of World Affairs.”

Hu Wenlang answered Zhou Tiege's question, but his eyes were looking at Zhou Tieyi.

As the direct descendant of a novelist, he could of course get the quarterly in advance.

Zhou Tieyi smiled. He was very familiar with this publication and immediately turned to the Hidden Dragon List.

This list includes all the geniuses in the world before the age of 30.

Zhou Tieyi laughed after reading the first opening.

The first on the Hidden Dragon List, the peerless jester Zhou Tieyi, is seventeen years old and the second son of General Huwei.

His mother is Zhou Yulong, his father is Zhou Qinlong, and his brother is Zhou Tiege.

In the third month of the spring of the first year of Taihe, Jiu Ri broke through the Dantian Qi Sea, which was the best in the country, and the speed of breaking through the realm exceeded that of the champion Hou Xiao Yuanshan.

In the fourth month of the spring of the first year of Taihe, he entered the eighth level in one month, and attained the extraordinary martial arts phenomenon of a long river of qi and blood, as immovable as a mountain. It was suspected that he learned the first-level Buddhist Dharma [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] in one month. He fought with the direct descendant of Nalanda Temple in the wind and rain lake and broke his meditation.

In the fourth month of the spring of the first year of Taihe, he climbed Yujing Mountain at night and killed the son of Sima Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of Propaganda. Then, on a rainy day, he used a heavenly thunder talisman to attract spring thunder and defeated the chess game of Che Wenyuan, a doctor of the Five Classics. Later, with the help of his brother, he trapped Che Wenyuan. Che Wenyuan abandoned his body and wanted to kill him, but failed, so he set a bet for another ten years.

In the fourth month of the spring of the first year of Taihe, he passed by the Imperial Academy and left behind famous lines that have been passed down through the ages, overwhelming the literary atmosphere of the academy. He called himself "the jester of the ages, the peerless poet". The chief academician Zhang Shizhong sighed and said that his poems could express his aspirations, so he left them on the gatepost of the Imperial Academy, saying that future disciples should encourage themselves to make up for today's shame and then bravely pursue his achievements.

In the fourth month of the spring of the first year of Taihe, he ascended the Zhengwu Gate and used words to pressure the great scholar Mei Qingchen to decide the outcome of the next year.

Then there is a comment: The great scholar Mei Qingchen said that this boy has the ability to govern the world. But if so, he will inevitably go astray, so he is called the peerless jester.

After reading it, he laughed and said, "When did you novelists learn the style of writing in the Spring and Autumn Annals? I call myself the Jester of the Ages and the Peerless Poet, but once you write, you become the Peerless Jester."

After saying this, he laughed to himself.

Hu Wenlang smiled awkwardly, "I didn't write this."

The last time he chatted with Zhou Tieyi, he also said that "Tianxia Shi" was not sure whether Zhou Tieyi could break through the Qi Hai Dantian in nine days, so Zhou Tieyi would probably not be mentioned in this issue of the quarterly.

Who would have thought that after just one month's absence, Zhou Tieyi would have "airdropped" to the top of the Hidden Dragon List.

This is certainly not a good thing!
Zhou Tieyi looked at his brother's ranking again, which was 20th.

It seems that there are many heroes in this world.

He casually glanced through the publication in his hand and handed it to his brother.

There is a piece of news in Zhou Tiege's first volume that concerns them.

No. 300 on the Heavenly Rankings: Zhou Yulong.

Zhou Yulong’s life story was hidden on it. This was the rule of the Heavenly Ranking. After all, those on the Heavenly Ranking were all big figures of the top three ranks.

Just one final comment.

Tianjizi said that he had not yet reached the third rank, but he had seen the Taoist celestial phenomena, which had never happened in ancient times, so he was included in the celestial list. It seems that the Confucianists have other intentions.

Zhou Tieyi probably understood that this was a Confucian attempt to draw hatred from him.

An eighth-grade person, stepping on all the young people in the world and ranking first on the Potential Dragon List, the young heroes in the martial arts world can't help but get ready to create some troubles for Zhou Tieyi.

Zhou Tieyi tapped the table with his fingers, making a beeping sound.

Novelists have always been building up momentum for Confucianism. Otherwise, Confucianism would not have carried the great historians to protect the novelist's "The World Affairs".

Combined with the Confucian saying this morning that "every country has its own evildoers", it is obvious that this is a preparation for clearing out the emperor's side.

However, since Zhou Tieyi dared to acknowledge the words "the jester of all ages", he naturally had means to deal with Confucianism. He would not attack now, but just wait for news from the Queen Mother.

Just like he said to his brother in the morning.

This is the "evil" that truly affects the emperor and the court, and their Zhou family is not even on the list.

As long as the queen is not a political idiot, she will definitely join forces with me this time, and she will take the initiative to join forces.

Keep calm and wait for a day or two. When the queen comes to you, you can use your means to get what you want.

Since Hu Wenlang had brought out something substantial, Zhou Tieyi naturally did not just drink tea. He thought for a moment, looked up at Hu Wenlang, and said, "Brother Wenlang, do you want to enter the first rank?"

"puff!"

Hu Wenlang, who was drinking tea and trying to hide his true thoughts, was choked and started coughing when he heard this.

The table had already been cleared and Mo Fei, who was listening to a story nearby, saw this interesting scene, smiled, patted Hu Wenlang on the back, and cleared the tea on the table.

Princess Mo thought to herself, this is a really interesting story, I should write it down and read it again a hundred years later.

Hu Wenlang took two breaths and stammered, not knowing what he wanted to express.

If other people had just directly said that he was the best in the world, he would have naturally regarded it as crazy talk and laughed it off, but Zhou Tieyi had his reasons for saying so.

It's just the best in the world, how much does it cost?

He didn't think that just based on his friendship with Zhou Tiege, Zhou Tieyi would tell him the secret to reaching the first level.

Hu Wenlang was silent and thoughtful, while Zhou Tieyi smiled without saying anything and continued drinking tea.

When he first met Hu Wenlang, he saw the name of the storybook was "Qi Xiaosheng" and he knew Hu Wenlang's intentions.

Like Gongshujia, there has not yet been a first-class novelist, so he cannot be considered as the ninth class.

Hu Wenlang decided to repeat Zhou Tieyi's words and said with a smile, "If you had a method to enter the first level, the situation of your Zhou family would have been different a long time ago. Why would you give it to me?"

Zhou Tieyi asked back, "What makes you think the situation in my Zhou family is still the same as before?"

Such a swift counterattack made Hu Wenlang a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Tieyi continued, "You said that day that novelists only practice two things, one is to 'make the fake look real', and the other is to 'gain fame'. It just so happens that I have the means to enable you to practice both of these methods to the extreme. What? Don't you want to consider it again?"

Hu Wenlang remained silent. He did not ask directly what the method was, because if he asked, Zhou Tieyi would not let him out. If he did not agree to Zhou Tieyi today, he might not see the sun tomorrow. He believed that Zhou Tieyi could definitely do it!

This person is patient and decisive. He will never ruin his plans because of one or two friendships!

No matter how confident Hu Wenlang was, he did not think he could compare with Sima Liang, the Minister of Public Relations, or Che Wenyuan, the Confucian Doctor of the Five Classics.

He stared intently at Zhou Tieyi's eyes, and could only see a pair of extremely clear eyes with distinct black and white reflecting the candlelight, as if there was a flame burning and jumping inside, about to light up the entire night.

If you can't tell good from evil, it's hard to tell loyalty from treachery!
"What's the price?"

"Price?" Zhou Tieyi laughed, "Isn't this obvious? I want you to split the novelist for me!"
