A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Xiangdong's heart was shaken, and he turned to look at Li Chenan.

Under the dim light, Li Chenan didn't have any nervous expression on his face.

He looked calm.

Somewhat profound.

Walk calmly.

He walked against the tide of students, as if the fireflies were gathered together. Xiangdong suddenly felt that what he saw was a bright light!

Can one person really start a prairie fire by using one person as a spark to ignite the will of all living beings?

Xiang Dong, who has been in the officialdom for many years, will certainly not believe it so easily.

However, he felt that even his heart, which had been silent for many years, seemed to be a little warmer at this moment.

Just a little.

After a while it was gone.

Although this young man is the grandson of his mentor, and although there are many powerful forces behind him, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can inherit the throne, but... Ningguo has long been like a rotten tree. If we want this rotten tree to bloom again, a new one can be regenerated.

Branches and buds come... Even if they sprout, their roots are not solid and their whiskers are difficult to attach. They are still seedlings. How can they survive the wind and rain?

If you want to cure chronic diseases...you have to scrape the bones and heal the wounds.

But His Royal Highness the Prince has a kind temperament, so after all, he can't scrape the bones to heal the wounds.

Therefore, he has already seen through it.

I have already begun to think about quitting.

Because I am discouraged, I feel cold!

However, Li Chenan had two sentences today that were firmly engraved in his mind. Of course, he didn't want to follow Li Chenan because of these two sentences. He just felt that this young man still had a beating heart.

That's all!

…

…

The backyard of Taiyuan University.

There was a lantern burning in the small wooden building.

The light spilled out a little from the half-open window lattice, making it look a little lonely.

It's extremely quiet here.

Apart from the sound of falling rain, there was no other sound.

Li Chen'an and the other two arrived at the small wooden building, saw Hua Manting sitting in front of the window, and heard the sound of books being turned over.

He walked to the door and knocked on the door.

After a moment, the small wooden door opened with a creak, and Hua Manting stood in front of Li Chenan. She was slightly stunned, and a heartfelt smile suddenly appeared on the old face.

"Why are you here?"

"It's a little early to go to the literary world. I don't want those people to be curious and treat me like a monkey. I thought you might not have gone yet, so I came over to sit... This is Mr. Yin Xiang of Jingzhao Mansion."

Xiangdong stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, old sir!"

"Hahaha, Xiang...dong? I remember, this little brother is...?"

"Ah, his name is Xiao Wu, and he has some ear problems."

"Oh... come on, come on, you three, please come in!"

Hua Manting brought Li Chenan and the others into the living room of his small wooden building.

It is said to be a living room, but in fact it is just a main room with a table and a few small stools.

Quite crude.

It's also very simple.

It fits the stoic mood of scholars these days, but Li Chenan doesn't really agree with this.

Hua Manting cooked a pot of tea and looked up at Li Chenan, "I heard that you are a little busy today?"

This refers to the fact that Li Chenan has been to many very important places today and met two very important figures in the entire Ningguo.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace.

And Mr. Changsun from the Imperial City Department.

Li Chenan nodded and said with a smile: "So I really shouldn't come to Kyoto. If I were still in Guangling City, I should probably be in the tavern under the banyan tree at this time."

"If you, brother, were also in Guangling City, we should have had two cups of tea together like wandering clouds and wild cranes."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hua Manting stroked his long beard and laughed heartily, "Brother, I have also thought about the pleasant life of cooking wine and listening to the rain. Brother, I can actually do it. For example, I can go to Guangling City tomorrow."

He slowly stopped smiling, leaned over, and said seriously: "But you can't!"

"Why can't I? If I want to leave Kyoto, will someone come and tie my legs and feet?"

"Brother, although we haven't met each other these days, I have heard a little bit about you."

The water on the tea stove is boiling.

Hua Manting took a few tea leaves from the jar and put it into the teapot, and said: "You can indeed leave, but...I don't think you are a person who puts your destiny in the hands of others!"

"If you want to be safe in Guangling City, you must..."

Hua Manting suddenly looked at Xiangdong, because Xiangdong was an official of the imperial court, and there were certain things that he couldn't say in front of such a person.

Xiangdong was about to get up and avoid it, but was pulled by Li Chenan's sleeve.

"Brother, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty Xiang is my grandfather's disciple, and he is also a member of His Royal Highness."

"oh,"

Hua Manting withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Chenan again, "You must be aware of the current situation in Kyoto. Since Mrs. Fan saw you yesterday, she approved of you and the matter between you and Zhongli Ruoshui."

"Actually, ever since you met Zhongli Ruoshui in Guangling City, in the eyes of others, you have been branded as the Marquis of Dingguo!"

"This is a faction!"

"When there are factions, there are fights."

"This moment is an extremely critical time in this battle!"

"If Dingguohou's family wins, of course you can live a happy life in Guangling City without worries, but if Dingguohou's family loses..."

Tea smoke curls up.

Huamanting put out the fire, but actually the pot of tea was still a little short of heat.

"How can you, the uncle of the Marquis Mansion, be at home in Guangling City?"

The reason is very simple, and Li Chenan certainly understands it. Therefore, when they were in the small wooden house in the Hou Mansion, Fan Taohua asked Li Chenan, "Are you afraid?"

Li Chenan's answer to her was——

"If the old lady wants Xu Ruoshui to be my wife... I, Li Chenan, can be my chess player!"

So, he became a chess piece.

So, next he went to the East Palace and then to the Imperial City Division.

From now on, he must stay in Kyoto, must win this cultural gathering tonight, and must stand on the temple to face Prime Minister Ji!

Li Chenan took the teapot, poured four cups of tea, and handed them over to each other with a wry smile on his face:

"So, destiny is just a bastard!"

"I wanted to be carefree and carefree, but I ended up with a hard life!"

"Brother, don't go to Guangling City anymore. From now on...if I suffer setbacks and suffer, I need to come to you to relieve myself!"

Huamanting laughed again.

"good!"

"Brother, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just here to see how many waves your kid will stir up."

"However, at this level... they have really been bribed or coerced by Ji Tai. You will face the students from Yue alone."

"Of course I believe you can win, but to be honest, I don't know for sure...can you really win?"

"Perhaps Wei Xuanmo already knows the topic chosen by the Emperor tonight!"

One side came prepared, the other had no idea.

This is the real reason why Hua Manting is worried.

Although he was a great scholar and the dean of the Imperial College, he could do nothing about this matter except anger.

Li Chenan picked up the tea cup, with a confident smile on his face.

"Brother, didn't you say that?"

"Since God gave birth to me, Li Chenan, I will surely dominate the literary world for five hundred years!"
