Chapter 17: Night Talk in the Teahouse

The winter nights were indeed a bit cold, and the northwest wind blew through the bare treetops beside the roadside, only blowing the big and small trees shivering in the cold wind. The northwest wind was like a knife, but Jiang Wei only wore a thin windbreaker and walked on the cobblestone path, looking at the neon streets not far away, he couldn't help but shake his head, "This time I guess I'm going to be scolded miserably, no matter, let's go." ā€

The slender white wrist shook the purple sand pot in her hand, only to see her put the slightly broken tea below, the complete tea on the top, put the kettle from the carbon stove, wait a few seconds, flush the boiling water along the edge of the pot, pick up the purple sand pot lid to scrape off the tea foam at the mouth of the pot, cover it, the whole process of making tea is like flowing water, indescribably elegant.

"Ahem, I feel like you're making tea all the way you look great! Overlord. Looking at Ivy's skillful craftsmanship and elegant posture, Jiang Wei also felt that the grade was instantly raised.

"You owe a beating, don't you? I wondered, the immoral one gave me the nickname "Overlord", how can you call me a girl. It's okay to give the title of a goddess. The unwilling Ivy had nothing to do about Jiang Wei's ridicule.

Looking at Ivy's unwilling look, Jiang Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ivy, do you know how many people envy you?" The special enrollment of Zihui Academy is you, and the strongest joint entrance examination score in history is also yours, and the various academic tyrants of the empire have been completely blown up by you, so naturally they will give you the title of king, the king of academic tyrants, referred to as overlords. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Then I'm really grateful to them. Don't divert the topic, let me ask you, what's the matter with you, Jiang Wei, samurai, you hide deep enough! A gleam flashed under Ivy's black-framed glasses.

"Well, this, cough, I saved a cat one night, but I know that this cat is a peerless high cat, seeing my kindness and anti-heaven qualifications, he accepted me as a disciple to pass on my martial arts." Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Wei said slowly.

"Whoosh", "Slap", Jiang Wei looked at the big magazine he grabbed in his left hand, "Ivy, are you going to murder?" ā€

"You're a big head, you've read too many online novels." Ivy looked angry, "If there really is such a cat, the cats will indeed rule the whole universe." ā€

"Sure enough, ......", Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want to deceive Ivy, as long as he told the truth, Ivy couldn't help it if he didn't believe him.

"Forget it, I don't bother to ask you this, but your teacher is really a master, no one knows better than me what you looked like three months ago, how long has it been, tsk."

"Indeed, the master is unfathomable and attentive to me." Picked up the teacup and smelled the tea in the cup, the fragrance was grinning, and after taking a sip of tea, I only felt that my lips and teeth were fragrant.

"Yes, your master taught you to practice martial arts attentively, but I taught you to learn without your heart." Ivy said sourly.

"Well, who said that, my mother is very satisfied with your work efficiency after reading the report card, and she wants to give you a bonus. You are also my master, come, master, apprentice toast you. Jiang Wei raised the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing Jiang Wei like this, Ai Wei didn't care about anything anymore, although Jiang Wei concealed this matter, but thinking about these masters with strange personalities, they could understand, "By the way, what happened to General William's recommendation of you?" ā€

"Huh? Where did you know this, His Excellency the General also issued a secrecy order at that time. ā€

"My mother is also a soldier, and she happens to be in charge of recommending students to review this matter, and she only told me about it when she found out that you were from a school."

Seeing Ivy raise her arrogant little nose, he was speechless for a moment, and slapped his forehead, "Hey, what a coincidence, it happened to be bumped into by your mother." ā€

"Exactly what, how many recommended students do you think the entire empire can be recommended by generals. You are now in the military as loud as my nickname of "overlord". Ivy said as she refilled another pot of tea.

"Poof". Jiang Wei couldn't hold back for a while after hearing this, and spit out her face with tea.

"Ah, you dead Jiang Wei, dirty, dirty." Ivy hurriedly picked up tissues and quickly wiped her face and glasses.

"Do you know what William Kelman said about him in the military?"

"Well, I don't know."

"I don't know if you agree with his recommendation." Ivy was visibly angry and was already growling.

"Ahem, Ivy, calm down, fortunately we asked for a private room, and everyone outside saw it, maybe they thought I had done something angry." Jiang Wei used his ability to change the topic again.

"William Cayman, the backbone of the radical faction. But congratulations, you're also radical now. ā€

"Please, just if he recommended me, I'm a radical? What kind of world is this? Is Shenma a radical? How does it feel so complicated. Jiang Wei suddenly felt that his head was big.

"The army has always been a place where mountaineering is strict, and I don't need to explain it to you." Seeing Jiang Wei nodding Ai Wei continued, "There are the Lord and the faction, the radical faction, among which there are more nobles in the Lords and factions, and there are more civilians from the radical faction, and the Lords and factions advocate the principle of valuing peace, they think that as long as it is not too excessive, do not engage in too many military conflicts to prevent the development of the domestic economy, while the radicals believe that the empire needs to take a tougher stance towards international disputes, and take action when it is time to act." ā€œ

After taking a sip of water to moisten her throat, Ivy continued, "Do you know what happened in the southern star field of the empire a few days ago? ā€

"Well, it's been reported in the news many times. The small countries in southern Xinjiang violated China's borders and illegally collected energy gravel in China's star field. ā€œ

"Yes, the Lords and factions have fined and expelled the matter, and the radicals are very dissatisfied, and they believe that the illegal miners should be detained and sentenced in accordance with the laws of our country."

"It seems that the commoners are still no match for you evil nobles, and the result is still a fine to expel you." A hint of sarcasm flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes.

Ai Wei glared at Jiang Wei angrily, "Oh, then what do you want?" It seems that you have a good relationship with the radicals. In other words, there are also many commoners in the main and faction, and there are also nobles in the radical faction, but they don't account for the majority, and the two sides are evenly matched. ā€

Jiang Wei didn't answer Aiwei's question, but said lightly: "No, how can there be only two factions?" There should be another one. Two factions are not in the interests of the emperor, and three factions are the best option. ā€

"Huh?" Ivy looked at Jiang Wei in surprise.

"Ahem, nothing surprising, I like to read history books. I know that. Indeed, for Jiang Wei, an ordinary young man who was not qualified to practice martial arts, the history department was the reason why he could be admitted to the university insurance, and the admission score of the history department has always been low, so Jiang Wei has not read less books in this area, and it is obvious that he knows more than his peers.

"It is true that there is another faction, the neutral faction, and this part of the army does not constitute the majority, but it is true that there are zĆ i, they only act according to orders, and do not interfere too much in such matters."

"Well, this is a good soldier, and a soldier who obeys orders is a good soldier."

"That's because it doesn't infringe on their interests, and when it does, it's no different from the radicals." Ivy picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in her mouth, looking very disdainful.

"Then what do you think of the Southern Star Field? The master of the future, Master Jiang Wei. Looking at Jiang Wei's calm appearance, Ai Wei couldn't help but ridicule Jiang Wei.

"Without any prior notice, their actions are acts of aggression, and if it were me, I would have fired on them on the spot." Saying this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but think of the humiliation of the empire thousands of years ago, the burned cities, the slaughtered people, and the destroyed civilization.

"You're not kidding? This can lead to international disputes and even wars. Looking at Jiang Wei's familiar face, Ai Wei felt a little unfamiliar.

"Of course, it's not a joke, according to the interstellar law, a country that sails into another country's star field without reporting is equivalent to aggression, and the aggressor country has the right to destroy the opponent's warship."

"You're such a madman, the radicals aren't as radical as you are. Don't say that to anyone in the future. Especially after entering a military school, it will affect your evaluation. Ivy rubbed her head, feeling a pain in her head, she didn't expect Jiang Wei to be such a dangerous person.

"I'm here according to the laws of the stars, legal." In front of the three words "legitimate", Jiang Wei increased the volume.

Pouring Jiang Wei a cup of tea, Ivy got up and stretched out of the window, looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window, and said slowly: "Things are not so simple. Now the empire is too strong, and in the international arena, the powerful countries in the Western Star Domain are unanimously curbing our country, and the small countries in the south are like ants, but they can't stand the godfather. ā€

Jiang Wei looked at Ai Wei in surprise, "Classmate Ai Wei, how do I feel that you are a standard politician, you know everything big and small." ā€

"That's, maybe I'm still the future prime minister." A glint of confidence flashed across Ivy's face.

"Hey, okay, Prime Minister, then let me ask, when will I go to the retest."

"Let's start spring next year, but I'll build yƬ you go early, my family also has a little relationship, I can help you get the A-level permission pass card in the army training room, where the equipment is complete, and the senior coach knows, which is more conducive to your cultivation."

Jiang Wei thought for a while, "Then I'll ask the master and see how he arranges." ā€

"Ah, I forgot about it, it seems that I was worried about it in vain, you have a good master, how can I get this broken card for you." Ivy never suffers from her mouth.

Jiang Wei looked at Ivy and said seriously: "I really didn't mean that, thank you very much, Ivy." ā€

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding you, you have to cherish this opportunity, Jiang Wei, not everyone can meet such a good master."

"Yes, Prime Minister." After that, Jiang Wei saluted.

"Still talking nonsense, how can you joke that your master is a cat?" Ivy was very dissatisfied with Jiang Wei's perfunctory.

"Well, I ......" Jiang Wei couldn't help but be speechless for a while, thinking to himself, "I'm really not joking"

"By the way, I won't be back after this winter vacation, I'll go directly to the capital, and I'll be waiting for you there." After speaking, Ivy winked at Jiang Wei, picked up the bag, and "pulled" Jiang Wei by the way, "Don't sit stupidly, go out to see the snow, the first snow of the year." ā€

"It's snowing......"
