The full moon is in the sky.

Bailu Academy, located in the northern suburbs of Dongxu City, looked extremely deserted under the moonlight.

There is a lantern hanging on the archway which is not very tall.

Solitary.

Even the four characters of Bailu Academy on the archway are not fully illuminated.

The huge academy was even more dark, with only a lantern burning in a small courtyard in the corner.

The lantern was hung on an old locust tree.

There was a low stone table under the tree. Two old men were sitting in front of the table. There was a jar of wine and three dishes on the table.

Hua Manting was wearing a blue linen dress and sitting opposite Old Master Qiu Chenqiu.

He picked up the wine jar, opened the mud seal, poured two bowls of wine and handed one over.

"After forty years of thinking and looking at it, have you figured it out? Have you opened your mind?"

Qiu Chen took the wine bowl and took a big sip, then answered the question: "Good wine!"

"If it's not Liquan, what's the name of this wine?"

Hua Manting grinned: "Huapingchun!"

Qiu Chen was slightly startled, "Taking the name of Huaping Lake in Guangling City?"

"Exactly!"

"So, this wine was also brewed by Li Chenan?"

Hua Manting raised her eyebrows and crossed her legs to make herself sit more comfortably: "It seems that you have really turned a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window these years."

Qiu Chen took another sip, "What you said is not entirely correct. At least I still remember Huaping Lake and know about Li Chenan."

Hua Manting raised her eyes: "You also know all his poems?"

"I know, although there is not a single student in Bailu Academy, I still have a scholar. Shixian's poems are so famous, and my scholar admires him so much that he writes and recites them every day. I

Naturally, you will know."

Hua Manting pondered for three breaths, "What do you think of his poetry and articles?"

Qiu Chen stroked his long beard and nodded slightly: "Of course it is excellent, and it can indeed be called a poet, especially the piece "The Charcoal Seller"."

Hua Manting picked up the wine bowl and raised it from a distance, and the two of them took a sip.

"He also has another identity, the regent of Ning State. How much do you know about his ability to govern the country?"

Qiu Chen put down the wine bowl and shook his head:

"I don't know at all, and I don't want to know. After all, he has passed away. Knowing it will only increase my worries."

After saying this, Qiu Chen said again:

"You came from Ningguo just to persuade me to leave White Deer Academy?"

Hua Manting nodded: "I'm worried that no one will know you died here."

Qiu Chen grinned and said calmly: "Where are the bones not buried? I think it would be good to die here."

Flowers Manting the Courtyard is noncommittal:

"There are not many people I admire in my life, but you, Qiuchen, are one of them."

He stood up slowly and looked up at the moon, "More than forty years ago, you came to Ningguo from Yue State. I remember that we first met by the Huaping Lake in Guangling City."

"You stayed in Ning State for a year, and I stayed with you for a year, and then... you came to Wu State."

"You stayed in the Kingdom of Wu again."

"I still remember that I came to Wu State to participate in three Mid-Autumn Festival cultural gatherings, and three times I came in second place!"

Hua Manting turned around and looked at Qiuchen, "You won the first place three times!"

"The eldest princess Wu Wen loves you with all her heart, and you also have a deep love for Wu Wen... This should be a good story in the world, but the Privy Council found out your identity as the Yue Privy Council!"

"Of course Emperor Wu couldn't let the eldest princess marry a spy chief of the Yue Kingdom. He didn't kill you. This should be what the eldest princess begged for you."

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Hua Man Ting, the corner of his mouth curled up: "It seems that you still care about me."

"Since you know that I am from the Privy Council of Yue State, do you still dare to invite me to Ning State?"

Hua Manting shook his head: "I'm not inviting you to Ningguo."

"Then what are you planning?"

Hua Manting returned to the table, sat down, leaned over, and said with a smile: "Look what you said."

"I did have some things to do when I came to Wu State, so I didn't stop by to see you. This was one of my original plans."

Qiu Chen turned away and laughed at himself: "I am a lonely old man, what is there to see?"

"Don't tell me, you old man still seems to have some taste."

"Let's get down to business," Hua Manting lowered her voice and her expression became serious.

Qiu Chen looked at Hua Manting again, "Is there anything else serious?"

"Listen to me first."

"That spring twenty years ago, you went to the Xijian Tower!"

When Qiu Chen heard this, his heart was shocked. His old eyes stared at Hua Manting, "What else do you know?"

Hua Manting grinned: "Don't be nervous. With our friendship for so many years, of course I will not tell this matter."

"In the spring of that year, Wu Xichen did not return to Xijian Tower for a long time. His younger brother Wu Ximiao officially took over as the owner of Xijian Tower. Wu Wen, the master of Tianyin Pavilion, also went to Xijian Tower!"

Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed to a slit, and his hands were quietly placed under the table.

There is a sword hidden under the table!

Hua Manting didn't seem to know anything about it, and he whispered again:

"That spring, those who went to the Xijian Tower included Lu Chuqi, the owner of the Ningguo Mashandao Mountain, Dongfang Hong, the head of the Songshan Sword Academy, and others. Of course they went to congratulate Wu Ximiao, but no one expected that you would

Went secretly."

"It doesn't matter if you go."

"Because you did not go to Jian Mountain where Xijian Tower is located, but to a valley under Jian Mountain, so no one actually knows that you have been there, except the eldest princess Wu Wen!"

"You stayed in that valley for a few days, and then you went back. The eldest princess found out that she was pregnant when she returned to heaven!"

Qiu Chen's gaze became more and more intense, while Hua Manting's face remained calm and calm.

"There's nothing shameful about this!"

"No one should have known about this matter, but Wu Wen returned to Tianshan and began to retreat. She gave birth to a baby boy. When the baby boy was only ten months old, Wu Wen took the baby down to heaven...

"

"She was too eager to share this joy with you."

"It should be here that your family reunited for a few days, but Emperor Wu found out."

"You were sent to prison. Wu Wen took the child to the Xijian Tower. They were ambushed before they reached the Xijian Tower. Wu Wen was seriously injured. Of course, your child... was executed by Emperor Wu's order!"

"If Wu Wen hadn't forced her to die, you wouldn't be alive now!"

Qiuchen took a deep breath, "I don't want to hear you say this!"

"No, what I want to tell you is that your and Wu Wen's child is not dead!"

Qiu Chen's eyes suddenly widened, his old eyes full of disbelief!

Because the ambush was carried out by Grand Master Mo Wangchen himself with the masters from the computer room!

Even Wu Wen was seriously injured, and the child had absolutely no chance of surviving.

But Hua Manting actually said that the child was not dead...

Qiu Chen's body was trembling, "He, he is still alive?"

"Well, alive and kicking."

"He, where is he?"

"In Ningguo, I studied under Lu Chuqi."

"...What's his name now?"

"His name is Amu!"

"Who saved him?"

Hua Manting picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, raised her eyes, and said two words:
Chapter completed!
