There was emotion on Zeng Lu's face, and Shi Xuanni beside him stood there quietly, looking at the magnificent Xianyang City.

"Brother Zeng, Mr. Chunyu Yue invited you to come last year, but you didn't come."

Shi Xuanni said jokingly: "Now, do you have any regrets?"

Zeng Lu packed up her gifts and walked forward, smiling and saying, "If you come, wouldn't you be in jail today?"

Shi Xuanni shrugged after hearing this, suppressing a smile on his face.

Is this polite?

Brother Zeng was a humble gentleman, why did he become like this now?

After the soldiers at the city gate completed their inspection, the two of them walked into Xianyang City.

"What should we do now?"

Shi Xuanni looked at the huge Xianyang City, and the people coming and going made him feel a little flustered.

Xianyang is so big that it is not easy to live there.

"Let's find a hotel to stay in first."

Zeng Lu said silently: "I have sent a letter to Mr. Kong. Mr. Kong should be leaving the palace tomorrow."

He sighed.

"Now, the so-called literary competition is approaching, and I'm afraid most of the Confucian disciples have already gathered here."

"Not just you and me, but others."

Zeng Lu looked around, his expression indifferent.

"Anyway, you and I are going to participate in this literary competition. As for the other Confucian people..."

He was silent for a moment: "That's beyond our control."

"Let's go."

After Zeng Lu finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.

A corner of Xianyang City

Three scholar-looking people were sitting in the inn, looking troubled.

"I didn't expect that accommodation in Xianyang City would be so expensive."

Chen Ping pointed at Xiao He and said with a smile: "You guy, you used to be a county magistrate, didn't you spend a lot of money?"

While eating, he said: "In the past few days, we are going to eat your big family!"

Xiao He curled his lips: "It's not like I won't let you eat?"

He yawned: "Brother Cao, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let's go and continue talking."

"In this essay competition, you and I will not only win the top spot, but at least be in the top ten, right?"

Xiao He's eyes were firm.

"In this way, you can fall into His Majesty's eyes!"

........

In the south of the city, in a dilapidated house

The broken statue of the god stood there, already covered with dust.

The young man carrying the long sword familiarly swept the dust around him, and then took out the things in his package one by one.

He gnawed on the dry food in his hand, imagining that he would be able to eat like a bell in the future!

From now on, it will definitely soar into the sky.

Manufacturing Department

Chen Ke stood there in a rare moment, watching the craftsmen around him carving.

"Yes, that's it."

He touched his chin.

At this time, there were many skilled craftsmen from all over the world gathered in Xianyang, so it was relatively easy to make this withered plate.

Carving inverse inscriptions is a relatively common thing, and can be made by those who make seals all year round.

Chen Ke stood there, watching the inscriptions in front of him being carved out one by one.

The withered tablet in front of him had been carved for more than two days, and what was carved on it was the supreme being of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Qin Law"

When the last word was carved in the hands of the craftsman, Chen Ke's eyes suddenly filled with light.

"Hahahaha, it's finally good!"

He quickly looked at the thing, then held a piece of paper in his hand, covered the withered plate with ink, and pasted the paper directly on it.

After a while, wait until the ink is almost dry before taking it out.

This is the simplest version.

It's like printing something with a seal.

Chen Ke carefully picked up the paper and saw that the paper was pure black with some white traces appearing, which was the successfully printed Qin law.

[Here... I’m just making this up and apologizing like crazy.]

Chen Ke saw that there was no problem with the Qin Law. He looked at Wang Wu and said, "Wash this withered plate clean without leaving any traces."

Although Wang Wu didn't know why, he still obeyed Chen Ke's order.

Yichun Palace

Fusu was sitting in the main hall with a bored look on his face.

Ever since he became a disciple of Chen Ke, his character became more and more tired day by day.

Normally, he would be reading a book at this time.

But today, for some reason, I just want to sit here and do nothing...

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and then the door opened.

"Brother, big brother!"

Hu Hai trotted in with surprise on his face: "Brother! The teacher has entered the palace!"

Fusu raised his head with rare interest: "Teacher has entered the palace?"

There was curiosity on his face: "You naughty guy, what did you do when you heard the teacher come?"

Hu Hai sniffed and shook his head with a blank look on his face.

"I don't know, I didn't hear that."

Fusu stood up and straightened his clothes.

"In that case, I'd better go take a look."

...........

Zhangtai Palace

After Ying Zheng printed a chapter of the Qin Code with his own hands, he had a look of admiration on his face.

"This thing is really magical."

"It is indeed much faster to use this material to print items."

"And this so-called withered version can be reused."

"In this way, it is easy to print Qin Code or other books, and ordinary people can afford to read books."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "Not bad."

There was a look of satisfaction on his face: "This thing is a great achievement of yours."

Chen Ke had a humble look on his face: "I don't dare."

"This thing is just a blessing from His Majesty."

Ying Zheng curled his lips, with disdain on his face: "Okay, now is the time. Do you still want to tell me that it's an immortal who entrusts you with a dream?"

He yawned.

"I'm afraid this immortal is an immortal from your Mo family, right?"

Ying Zheng had a narrow-minded look on his face: "I'm not saying that I have to reuse Confucianism, or I just want to reuse Legalism."
