Chapter 106: A coincidence

Only a powerful metal tremolo could be heard. After the Yue Jiao sword in Lin Chen stabbed out, it did not really stab at the other person's body. Instead, when he was rubbing with the man's sword blade, he used the Yue Jiao sword to suddenly press against the other person's sword body, and forced his attack to change the way, and instead stab at another person next to him.
In such a situation where there are many people, using "Spring River Flower Moon Sword" is undoubtedly a good choice. At that time, the metal sounds of sword blades collided continuously.
While using his body skills, Lin Chen used the "Spring River Flower Moon Sword" to fight against the enemy. At this moment, he was like a leaf blown by the wind, floating casually, but this leaf was extremely sharp. Once someone touched it, it would definitely be scratched!
This battle of dozens of people was thought to last for a long time, but the reality was that after just a moment, Lin Chen was left alone standing on the ring, and the rest were either beaten out or lying on the ground and moaning in pain.
"I won this competition, right?" Lin Chen put away Yue Jiao Jian, turned to look at the disciple of the Tibetan Sword Villa standing outside the court, and asked.
"Yes." The other party nodded, then took out a wooden sign with a number written from his arms, threw it at Lin Chen, and said, "This thing is a token of promotion. Hold it and you can participate in the next competition."
"Thank you!" Lin Chen waved his hand, and the wooden sign flying towards him fell into his hands.
After leaving this arena, Lin Chen immediately met with Mu Jiawang and Hu Chengfu, but they did not rush to leave here, but slowly wandered around the crowd to watch the others compete.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Lin?" someone shouted in the crowd.
When Lin Chen heard this, he turned his head slightly, but saw a young scholar recruiting not far behind him.
The man saw Lin Chen turn his head, and a smile appeared on his face, and said to his companion beside him: "Look, it's indeed Brother Lin!"
As the man said, he pulled his companions to come here. When Lin Chen saw them, he was also slightly surprised. The person who spoke was the two scholars Lin Chen met when he crossed the river from Guanzhong to Jingchu, Li Shengyun and Wei Youmo.
Li Shengyun walked over and wrote to Lin Chen, and smiled and said, "Brother Lin, what a coincidence!"
"I just said who called me? It turned out to be Brother Li and Brother Wei. I didn't expect you two to really come here." Lin Chen also smiled and said politely.
Wei Youmo, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "This Jingchu... Alas, it's different without the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The roads in many places have not been repaired. If it is near a larger county town, it's fine. Although the roads are simple, they are still flat. But if you walk farther away, the roads are bumpy, it's difficult to walk, and the carriage is shaking so hard that it makes people dizzy..."
After hearing Wei Youmo's complaint, Lin Chen smiled and said nothing. From the first glance, Wei Youmo gave Lin Chen the impression of a rich young man with a rosy complexion but lacking exercise. It was already good that he could come out of Guanzhong and persist in walking to the Jiangcheng of Jingchu.
Li Yunsheng, who was standing next to Wei Youmo, seemed to think it was not good to be bitter when they met, so he quickly changed the subject and turned his eyes to the two standing beside Lin Chen, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, are these two..."
"Oh, this is my sworn brother, and this is my elder brother's disciple." Lin Chen introduced. Mu Jiawang, who was standing beside him, immediately hugged the other people after Lin Chen finished speaking, and continued, "Hello, Mu Jiawang, this is my disciple Hu Chengfu."
When Li Yunsheng and Wei Youmo heard this, they returned the courtesy and introduced themselves. Finally, they pointed to a young man beside them who was also wearing a blue shirt and full of books, and smiled and said, "This is Brother Wang. I met on the way to Jiangcheng more than a month ago. Everyone was having a good chat, so they walked together."
The young man smiled at Lin Chen and others and said, "I'm going to study abroad, but I have a lot of yearning for Brother Lin's life like this. So when I heard that there was a grand martial arts meeting in Jiangcheng, I followed him together."
Mu Jiawang looked at Wang Jingsheng and asked with a smile: "The name is called Jingsheng. I guess Brother Wang must be from a certain capital, right?"
Wang Jingsheng nodded and smiled, "Brother Mu guessed it well, I'm from Yancheng."
There is only one Yan City in this country, and that is the imperial capital of Jin State - Yanjing.
"Yancheng... Not to mention the distance between it and this Jiangcheng, even between Jingchu Prefecture and Zhongzhou Prefecture, there is still a Guanzhong Prefecture..." Mu Jiawang sighed, and then asked: "Brother Wang is so far away from home alone, aren't you afraid that Ling Zun is worried?"
Wang Jingsheng shrugged, shook his head slightly and smiled, "Brother Mu doesn't know that my father is an official, and there is another elder brother above me. My father has high expectations for his elder brother and hopes that his elder brother will inherit his affairs in the future, but for me, I am too lazy to discipline him. I just say it and come out..."
Seeing the look on Wang Jingsheng's face, everyone couldn't say much.
Although there is a saying that "the old father prefers the youngest son", there are also people who value the eldest son. What's more, the family's legitimate eldest son is a default tradition, especially for a family like Wang Jingsheng. As long as the eldest son is not a waste, the elders in the family will try to arrange him to work in the court and use his connections to help him advance. In the future, even if he cannot take over his position after he gets old, he can still ensure that the family is rich and worry-free.
As for the youngest son, if the family has great power and wide connections, it will naturally be arranged. However, if a family does not have enough abilities, then unless the youngest son and the eldest son are about the same age as the eldest son and have outstanding abilities than the eldest son, it will not be considered.
After all, in this officialdom, time is very important. Not everyone can wait for more than ten years and then wait for more than ten years.
Everyone did not talk about Wang Jingsheng, but instead changed the topic and talked and laughed together. While walking to watch other people's competitions, they talked about all kinds of different places. Everyone talked about how they came to Jiangcheng and encountered those interesting things on the way. When they talked about the interesting things, they made everyone laugh. For a moment, the atmosphere became much happier.
Chapter completed!
