The so-called small auction is held in a villa, with a total of two rows of large sofas spread out in an arc, and a table in front.
To be honest, there is really no style at all, it is quite simple and plain. It seems like what Li Ruiyang said, they are all acquaintances and no one cares about ostentation or anything like that.
When Zhou Chen and Li Ruiyang came in, there were already several people in the hall, and Li Ruiyang led Zhou Chen over.
"Xiao Zhou, this is Mr. Wang, his name is Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang."
"Oh, Lao Li, is this your son-in-law?"
"Not counting son-in-law, Luoluo's boyfriend, don't underestimate Xiao Zhou, his eyesight is much better than mine."
"Really? Xiao Zhou is also from our circle, so young?"
Mr. Wang is about the same age as Li Ruiyang, and he also plays antiques. It can be said that the older you are, the more experienced you are in this industry. Although there are also young people, they generally do not have much experience, so he does not take Li Ruiyang's words seriously.
Li Ruiyang seemed to have a very good relationship with Mr. Wang, and he emphasized again: "Old Wang, Xiao Zhou is really capable. He is much better than me anyway."
But Mr. Wang was still hesitant, but he did not refute or show any contempt.
In addition to Mr. Wang, Li Ruiyang took Zhou Chen to greet several people. Most of these people were over forty years old, with very few in their thirties.
After saying hello, Zhou Chen found a seat in a corner and sat down, while Li Ruiyang went to catch up with old acquaintances.
"There are still three hours until the start. It's really a long time."
Because they came earlier, there were still many people who had not arrived, and there were still three hours before the agreed start time.
There was only one acquaintance here, Li Ruiyang. Zhou Chen felt bored and didn't play with his mobile phone. He sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and communicated with the system.
"System, start traveling."
Anyway, traveling through the film and television world only took a moment. In the next world, he had a very relaxed life, leaving no complicated emotions. He didn't need time to relax. It happened to be boring waiting now, so he decided to travel again.
Time travel happened in an instant, and the next moment he changed the scene.
…………
At the northwest border, Zhou Chen stood on the city wall, looking at the sky in the distance, his thoughts no longer knew where he was wandering.
It has been a few days since he traveled to this world, and he has already adapted to the environment he is in now. To be precise, for him, a traveler who has traveled through many times, he can quickly adapt to the environment after traveling.
But this time it was different. He actually traveled to ancient feudal society again.
He has traveled through time more than a dozen times, but only once did he travel to ancient times, and it was still the world of Langya Bang, which was a low-level world of martial arts. This time, he traveled to ancient times again, but the time was much later than the world of Langya Bang.
The dynasty and territory he is currently in is the Song Dynasty, which is similar to the Song Dynasty in the history books of the real world, but slightly different.
For example, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty is called Zhao Heng, which corresponds to Song Zhenzong in the history books. Even the reign name is the same, but the problem is that there are many differences.
Not to mention anything else, for example, Kou Zhun, a well-known prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, did not exist at all. Instead, there was a prime minister named Ke Zheng. His legendary experience is very similar to Kou Zhun in history, and there are also five ghosts of Zhenzong age.
All the well-known figures do not exist, but similar figures have taken their place.
Although Zhou Chen has not studied history specifically, he has read many history books and has a certain understanding of the Northern Song Dynasty.
For example, Su Shi was not born yet, but the world already has the poem "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia". What a good guy.
There is also the current saint queen, who should be called Liu E in history, but Liu Wan in this world.
Etc., etc……
Fortunately, Zhou Chen is also an experienced time traveler and quickly adapted to it. If he guessed correctly, he should have traveled to a Song Dynasty film and television drama with some fictional history.
No matter what the reason is, this is not official history, but a fiction.
As the saying goes, the general trend remains unchanged, but the small trend can be changed. That's pretty much it.
After a few days, Zhou Chen didn't figure out which film and television drama he had traveled to. The main reason was that he had watched very few film and television dramas about the Song Dynasty. After comparing and comparing, he still didn't figure out which film and television drama he had traveled to.
Which world.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be a movie and TV series that he has never seen.
He also communicated with the system and opened the system panel, hoping to find clues. However, after a few days, the system tasks were not updated at all and remained inactive, which made it even more difficult for him to judge the situation.
His identity after time travel, his name and body remained the same, but he was much younger. He was only eighteen years old now. He joined the army on the border between Xiazhou and the Song Dynasty. He was not a big-headed soldier, but an official with an official position.
Xiaowei, a serious military commander, the eighth grade.
There is no doubt that being able to hold such a position at the age of eighteen was not only due to himself, but his family background also played a big role.
After inheriting the memory, Zhou Chen also developed an admiration for himself in this world. Even though he was from a good background, he was still a genius with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs.
My grandfather was a general who followed Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world. After the founding of the country, he was named Zhongyong Hou, a founding prince, and a second-class duke. More importantly, this was a hereditary and non-replaceable title, which was better than those titles that could only be hereditary.
It's too much better than being alone for a lifetime.
Moreover, he is the only son of the Zhou family in his generation, which means that he is now a veritable young marquis. As long as nothing happens in the future, he is destined to inherit the title of Zhongyong Marquis.
More importantly, in this world, I am not only talented in martial arts, but also extremely talented in literature. I actually took part in the imperial examination a year ago and won the Jinshi.
Although he was not first-class, he was still outstanding. He was still under Ke Zheng's command at that time, so Ke Zheng can be said to be his teacher.
Originally, after he won the Jinshi, he planned to develop as a civil servant, but later he discovered that even if he won the Jinshi, he still could not integrate into the civil service circle.
The reason is very simple, because he was born in a noble family and was a hereditary marquis. Even though he had literary talents, he was still resisted by the civil service group.
In the Song Dynasty, the status of military attachés was very special. Civil servants always looked down on military attachés. Even if they were nobles, they were still in the chain of contempt of civilian officials. Especially those high-ranking civil servants were at odds with the nobles.
So even with Ke Zheng as a teacher, he still couldn't fit into the circle. In the end, he could only leave in anger and chose to become a military attache, but he was unwilling to stay in the capital. Then his father used his connections to transfer him to
Border training.
I call it a training, but I have been here for more than half a year, and I still haven't participated in any wars, let alone wars, and I haven't even had a few small fights.
Zhou Chen, who received all the memories, was filled with emotions. No matter what era he was in, there was always a circle.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, the country was governed by civil society. It cannot be said that civil and military officials were completely opposed to each other, but civil servants looked down on military officers. This is an indisputable fact, and it was more serious than other dynasties.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the Song Dynasty, scholars were superior to others, especially those who had achieved fame. They received preferential treatment, did not kneel before officials, were exempted from taxes, etc...
Of course, this does not mean that nobles are inferior to civil servants. Hereditary nobles like Zhou Chen and others have equally high status and belong to true nobles. Living with the country is a bit exaggerated, but it is not much different.
It's just that in terms of the court's momentum, civilian officials were still the mainstay, and military attachés were not taken seriously.
The reason for this is also inseparable from Song Taizu. After all, the addition of yellow robes and the release of military power over a glass of wine were all done by Song Taizu.
After being confused at the beginning, Zhou Chen quickly recovered. Since he didn't know which film and television world he was in now, he would just take it one step at a time. He believed that the time before the mission would be activated would never be too far away.
Because he traveled to this world, Zhou Chen immediately considered his own safety. Although his status was not low now, there were still certain risks at the border.
As far as he knew, although the Song Dynasty had been at peace for many years and its biggest opponent was the Liao Kingdom, there was no harmony between the Song Dynasty and the Xiazhou Dingnan Army.
The Dingnan Army was the predecessor of the Xixia Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. The Li family united the foreign tribes and the Dangxiang and Jiang tribes to establish a political power that always united the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Song Dynasty.
Chunyang Jue, which cannot be practiced in modern society, was picked up and practiced again after he came to this world.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. During this period, there were no battles. Bandits appeared once. Then he took orders and led hundreds of people to suppress the bandits. The whole process was very smooth.
, nothing happened.
But what makes Zhou Chen happy is that after two months of practice, the Pure Yang Jue has actually responded. Although it is far behind the practice speed in the Langya Bang world, it is not at all compared to modern society.
Compared with the reaction, at least there is movement and a sense of energy.
Although Zhou Chen has only practiced internal martial arts in one world, he has decades of experience after all. He feels that the reason why this happened is probably related to the "spiritual energy" of the world. Ancient society may have more "spiritual energy" than modern society.
Spiritual energy', so we can practice internal strength.
But this cultivation speed is really as slow as a snail. For example, if his cultivation speed in the Langya Bang world is 100, then his cultivation speed in this world will not exceed 1 at most. The difference can be
A hundred times.
There are two reasons. One is that when he was in the world of Langya Bang, the system gave him the "gifted" ability, so he is a top genius in practicing martial arts; the other reason is that this world is probably worse than the world of Langya Bang.
A world with a lower level of martial arts.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that his cultivation speed is extremely slow. It is estimated that even if he cultivates to a hundred years old in this world, he may not be able to reach one-tenth of the level in the Langya Bang world.
Zhou Chen originally thought he could stay at the border safely for a few years, but things didn't go as he expected.
…………
Three years later, Zhou Chen had been promoted to the sixth rank of Zhaowu Colonel. It was in this year that the Dingnan Army crossed the border to provoke, and a small-scale war ensued between the two sides. He happened to lead his troops to participate in it.
In the world of Nirvana in Fire, Zhou Chen has been a general for decades and an army commander for a long time. He is naturally extremely rich in combat experience.
The battles with the Dingnan Army were won repeatedly, and the Dingnan Army was defeated step by step.
Although Zhou Chen did not remember how many battles took place between the Song Dynasty and the Dingnan Army in the official history, he knew that during the reign of Zhenzong, there did not seem to be any large-scale battles between the Song Dynasty and the Dingnan Army.
At first he thought this was just a small-scale friction, but as soon as he started fighting, he realized something was wrong. The Dingnan Army didn't know what was going on. When Liao Ting conquered Goryeo, they actually took it seriously. This made Zhou Chen unhappy.
Surprised instead of happy.
He originally thought that he had no chance to make military exploits, but he didn't expect that this old brother actually sent him warmth, so he was not polite.
Another year later.
Zhou Chen became famous in one fell swoop by defeating the Dingnan Army, and became a famous young general in the Song Dynasty, and his reputation spread throughout the world.
In fact, the reason why this happened was that during the Zhenzong period, there had been no war for many years since the Tanyuan Alliance. This rare victory naturally made the current emperor Long Yan very happy and greatly appreciated.
As a result, Zhou Chen, a noble son, fell into the eyes of today's officials, and word spread, and he became a young general of the Song Dynasty, famous all over the world.
However, Zhou Chen didn't care too much about these reputations. He had never liked officialdom. Although it was ancient times, he was still the same.
Rather than making himself famous, what he cared more about was his time travel mission. More than three years had passed, and the system mission still hadn't appeared.
Zhou Chen estimated that he still had not met the key characters in the film and television series. For example, after traveling several times, the system tasks were not activated, but after encountering plot tasks, they would be automatically activated. He felt that it should be the same this time.
He has been at the border for such a long time and the mission has not been activated yet. He can almost conclude that if he continues to stay, the mission will never be activated.
Ever since, he was already thinking about how to get out of here.
After the battle with the Dingnan Army, there had been no war for a long time. He actually wanted to have a battle with Liao Ting, but he also knew that this was unrealistic.
Looking at the entire Song Dynasty now, it is estimated that few people are willing to start a war, especially a war with Liao Ting.
He was just a small border general. Even if he inherited the title of Marquis Zhongyong in the future, his voice in the official circles of the Song Dynasty would be far inferior to that of the civil servant group.
Therefore, he did not have such great ambitions. If he wanted to destroy the Liao Dynasty, in the case of the Song Dynasty, if he wanted to destroy the Liao Dynasty, there was only one possibility, which was to overthrow the Song Dynasty, re-establish the political power, and make his own decisions. Only then would it be possible.
But for this kind of thing, even if Zhou Chen lived for hundreds of years, he still understood how difficult it was to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
What's more important is that he has no such idea at all. For him, the system tasks are more important.
If he really wanted to be emperor, he wouldn't have waited until now. The chance in the Langya Bang world is much greater than the chance in this world.
