magic high school

"Everyone, from now on, please don't call me 'Li Ge' at any time. Just call me Ziyin or Cao Ziyin," Li Ge reminded her friends. "And try not to speak; I'll do the talking."

"Wait a minute, why are you talking so strangely? Like one of the natives of this world?" Xiaoye immediately complained. She had always felt that the locals here spoke strangely, and even the translation module provided by the school often translated in a way that was difficult to understand.

But Li Ge seemed to be quite used to this situation, and now even his daily conversations with them had taken on this strange tone.

"Yeah, yeah, I saw you communicating with that old general without any translation module, and I knew something was off about you. But I was fooled before." Valerie added fuel to the fire. She had been completely baffled by Li Ge and Deng Ai's conversation, but now someone else was finally realizing something was wrong.

Li Ge: "..."

He took a deep breath. Explaining this would be too lengthy, so he said, "Never mind that for now. In short, this world is very particular about social status. If you say the wrong thing, others may look down on you and not think highly of you. In short, this is very important."

Li Ge gave a brief explanation, and he wanted to confirm his false identity.

His pseudonym is Cao Ge, and his courtesy name is Ziyin. This is consistent with the characteristics of names and courtesy names in this era. His background is a branch of the Cao family in Qiao County. His ancestors were weakened to almost no power by Cao Pi, the clan killer. In the end, they had no choice but to rely on Liu Xie's wife, Cao Jie. He then served as a minor official in the Duke of Shanyang. Now, he is just a wandering knight.

This false identity has many advantages. After all, this was the early Jin Dynasty, where social status was extremely important. Without a certain social standing, it would be inconvenient to do many things. Moreover, although this was the background of the Cao Wei clan, it was inherently labeled as being from the faction of Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, which meant that one could benefit from both Cao Wei and Shu Han.

As long as his identity is confirmed, Li Ge can truly become a trusted good person anywhere except the Sima family. Even if Li Ge is not afraid of his identity being exposed, as long as he says that he confronted Liu Kang on the spot, he can recognize Liu Kang as his godfather and thus confirm his identity.

Even the Sima family treated the Shanyang Duchy left behind by Liu Xie with great courtesy, so it was not impossible to gain a good status within the Sima family.

Fortunately, Li Ge was fairly aware of Liu Xie's situation and was able to temporarily fabricate an identity that was not easily exposed.

Other rules roughly describe the various rules of this world, such as the distinction between noble families and commoners, the requirement that people not only have a given name but also a courtesy name, and that the courtesy name must be used when addressing someone, rather than the given name, as using the full name directly is considered an insult, and so on.

Seeing the other friends' heads spinning, Xiaoye gave up trying to figure it out and said directly, "Why is a form of address so complicated? Fine, I'll just leave it to you. So, all I need to do is call you Ziyin?"

"Yes, it would be best if you changed some replacement words in the translation module and directly replaced 'Li Ge' with 'Zi Yin'," Li Ge said, afraid that they would give themselves away.

After all, they only have two ways to overthrow the Sima family: one is to win over Jiang Wei, and the other is for Li Ge to become Sima Zhao's adoptive father and try to kill Sima Yan first through palace intrigue, so that he, "Sima Ge", can successfully usurp the throne and become the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

However, the idea of ​​acknowledging Sima Zhao as one's adoptive father is too abstract, and this method may not even get high marks. After all, the decline of the Sima family was caused by the inherent lack of legal principles in the entire Jin Dynasty from top to bottom, resulting in chaos and inherent deficiencies.

After all, it was a usurped dynasty. Cao Wei's foundation was already ruined by Cao Pi, and the foundation of Sima's Jin Dynasty was even more ruined. The Nine-Rank System, coupled with Sima's ridiculous tactics, led to the fact that they could only govern the country with filial piety. They also went so far as to mythologize Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and wanted all the ministers in the world to learn from him.

Everyone in the world knows that the Sima family is afraid of another Sima Yi, which is why they encouraged other ministers to learn from Zhuge Liang, plus that ridiculous oath by the Luo River that will be cursed thousands of years later...

It can be said that the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty was already the end of the abstract process.

Therefore, most of the silly stories in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars that we are familiar with come from the Jin Dynasty. At the same time, the Book of Jin is also known as the "magical Book of Jin" because it is too abstract.

Therefore, even if Li Ge usurped the throne, it would be difficult to change the root of the Jin Dynasty. What the Jin Dynasty needed was not a usurpation, but a major purge from top to bottom.

Li Ge took a deep breath. He wouldn't go so far as to change his name to "Sima Ge" unless absolutely necessary, as it was too offensive. So, after discovering that Jiang Wei was not dead, Li Ge suddenly had a burst of brilliant wisdom and came up with this ingenious idea to restore the Han Dynasty.

At the very least, they can still struggle in the name of the Han Dynasty.

They traveled day and night, and even these infantrymen showed no signs of fatigue or exhaustion despite traveling through the night. Along the way, Li Ge kept Yi Lian busy, occasionally performing some magic that had now been nerfed down to just special effects, making the infantrymen as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Therefore, what should have been a journey of more than a day was completed overnight, and before dawn, the city walls of Chengdu could be seen in the distance.

But at this time, the whole of Chengdu was not peaceful. Countless torches in the distance formed long dragons in the city.

Li Ge was shocked, wondering if she was too late. However, when she saw the torches in the city gradually surrounding the "palace", Li Ge realized that there might still be hope. Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui had at least held on for a while after being surrounded.

"Gentlemen, this is the moment to make our mark! Respect the Heavenly Emperor, and charge with me!"

Furthermore, at this moment, Li Ge activated his Golden Eyes. In the early morning hours outside Chengdu, the brightness of Li Ge's Golden Eyes, like high beams, instantly excited the foot soldiers even more.

Indeed, pretending to be a charlatan is very useful, especially in this era.

Moreover, these people have undergone rigorous special training at magic academies, and their fighting spirit and patience are astonishing. Even when magic is suppressed, their unarmed combat ability far exceeds the limits of humanity. At the very least, they can fight to the death and take down a dozen heavy cavalrymen head-on. Even if Lu Bu came, Li Ge could beat him into a goldfish.

"Roar!" The infantrymen roared, their adrenaline surging like a fountain in this miraculous situation.

"charge!"

Without any hesitation, Li Ge and his three companions rushed to the front. At this moment, the soldiers at the city gate were shocked. They had just opened the city gate to let the Wei army outside the city in to wipe out Zhong Hui's troops, and the city gate had not yet been closed. Moreover, they had no idea when such an enemy army appeared near Chengdu.

At the same time, this was also a custom of the time. Even after the garrison outside the city entered the city, they would arrange for trusted confidants to guard the city gates and leave them wide open. This was to avoid being trapped like turtles in a jar and to leave themselves a way out.

Now, this escape route they left behind has become the best breakthrough point for Li Ge and his team.
