mid autumn night 4
The four of them left the cabin together.
Xiao Wu drove, and Li Chen'an and the others sat in the carriage and headed towards the literary world.
Although Li Chen'an had sworn just now that he had been a coquettish literary figure for five thousand years, whether it was Hua Man Ting or Xiang Dong, he still couldn't believe it.
Because of the thousands of years of history, talents come out in large numbers, who are either brighter at a time or startled in a generation. Even if they are left in the history, their brilliance will quietly dim with the passage of time.
Even the former masters of literati in "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian", although their names will be remembered by today's students, their past glory cannot shine into the present era.
The years are silent.
No matter how amazing and brilliant they were, their stories are rarely mentioned or circulated now.
Of course it's a good thing for Li Chenan to say such bold words. Hua Manting originally believed in Li Chenan's ability, but it was based on fairness!
But there is no fairness in this essay meeting tonight!
It really showed the importance of power to the students all over the world, and directly told everyone that Ji Tai wanted Li Chenan to die, and this essay meeting was just a passing scene.
This is shameless.
But who can do anything to him?
Both Hua Manting and Xiang Dong could guess that the Prince's Royal Highness would not let Li Chen'an die so easily, so if Li Chen'an loses in this literary meeting tonight, the next autumn rain in the capital might change. Into a storm!
What kind of chaos will Kyoto look like?
They don't want to think about it, and they dare not think about it!
...
...
Shuiyunjian.
This is an elegant tea house.
The tea house is very large, and there are three tea houses in it, which are quite far apart and distributed in three directions of the tea house.
There are no guests in Shuiyunjian today.
The guests all went to the literary world.
But today, Shuiyunjian has its owner.
Zhongli Ruoshui just arrived at the other field called Yunji behind Shuiyunjian, and Ning Chuchu also rushed here.
Gathering in other fields, this is Zhongli Ruoshui's residence here, a little far from the tea house, located in a valley under Shuiyun Mountain.
Every late autumn, the clouds and mists of Shuiyun Mountain will permeate this mountain stream.
They seem to be piled up here, so it's like being in a fairyland in the sea of clouds.
Therefore, Zhongli Ruoshui named it Yunji.
"You didn't go either?"
Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Ning Chuchu and asked curiously.
"Brother Prince said, I don't need to go."
"I went to Huaxi Bieyuan. The people inside said you came here, so I came too... I brought your favorite Yunjinji cake."
Zhongli Ruoshui smiled slightly, and walked into this other field hand in hand with Ning Chuchu, and came to a pavilion that was already lit with lanterns.
"Brother Prince asked me to tell you something."
The two sat down, Lin Xueer made a pot of tea, Zhongli Ruoshui just took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the food box, and when she heard Ning Chuchu's words, her hand was immediately fixed in the air.
Because this incident must have something to do with Li Chenan!
"What is it?"
"Originally, at midnight tonight, the Imperial City Commander sent Wang Zheng Jinzhong to lead people to the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society to eliminate everyone in the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society, and to help Chen'an rescue Wen Xiaowan...but the situation changed later."
Zhongli Ruoshui's heart was shocked, she put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, and looked at Ning Chuchu with a very serious expression.
"What change?"
"The Imperial City Division has received an urgent report. Tonight, the tax and food shipped from the Jiangnan Province to Kyoto will arrive at Shilipo in the Shuangjiao Mountains!"
Zhongli Ruoshui frowned, and she immediately understood the meaning of Ning Chuchu's words——
Taxes and grains dare not go by water again.
But even though they traveled by land, the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake knew exactly the news about this batch of tax and food.
They will rob this batch of tax and food in Shilipo!
Now the Ningguo Household Department has long been unable to make ends meet, and has reached the point where it is waiting for these taxes and grains to be put into the warehouse to distribute grain and salaries. This is the foundation of the country, and it is naturally extremely important.
But in Zhongli Ruoshui's heart, nothing is more important than Li Chenan's safety!
She stood up suddenly, "I'm going to the Hou Mansion!"
"Wait a minute, the Hou Mansion already knows about this."
"... Ke Chen'an doesn't know! He will still go to the headquarters of the Ichthyosaur Society in Zishi!"
"Ruoshui!"
Seeing Zhongli Ruoshui's excited expression, Ning Chuchu also stood up, "Calm down!"
"Since the Hou Mansion knows about it, of course it will make arrangements!"
"Even if the Ichthyosaur Society's lair is not taken away, there will be no problem in protecting Chen'an and returning safely!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was silent for ten breaths, then sat down slowly, "Have you sent someone to tell Chen An?"
Ning Chuchu shook her head.
Zhongli Ruoshui glared, "Why?"
"Because we can't let Ji Tai know about Huangcheng Division's movements!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned again, and asked
"That is to say, Ji Tai knows about the attack on the headquarters of the Ichthyosaur Society tonight?"
Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Stay for a while, this news will reach Ji Tai's ears after the literary meeting begins! The purpose is...to let Chen An attract Ji Tai's attention."
Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes narrowed slightly, although she doesn't know martial arts, the light in her eyes at this moment is extremely sharp.
Ning Chuchu couldn't look directly, so she lowered her head.
"You guys really treat him like a pawn!"
"Fortunately, I still want to match you two... If you are like this, how can I rest assured that Chen'an will be handed over to you?!"
What she said was to hand over Li Chenan to Ning Chuchu, but at the moment Ning Chuchu was feeling ashamed and extremely guilty, so she didn't notice the meaning of this sentence.
"Ruoshui, I, I have never used him as a pawn!"
She summoned up her courage and raised her head, and took a deep breath, "I, the prince brother said that this is the overall situation, even if Chen'an doesn't know about this change, he will be fine, so, so I feel, feel that there is no such thing at all. wrong."
Zhongli Ruoshui sighed
"you are wrong!"
"Even if Chen'an is fine in the end, he should know the truth now!"
"As for whether he will choose to leave the literary world or go to the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society after he finds out, that is his business!"
"The right to choose is his, not arranged by others!"
"I can't, you can't, and His Royal Highness can't either!"
"Besides, since Ji Tai knows what will happen at the headquarters of the Ichthyosaur Society, he certainly won't stand idly by!"
"He will definitely lay a net there!"
"They are all martial arts masters, but Chen'an is not. Even if grandma sends a master to go...swords are ruthless, who can guarantee that no accidents will happen?!"
"You...are confused!"
Only then did Ning Chuchu realize that she was really wrong.
Only then did he realize that in Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes, the so-called overall situation could not be compared with Li Chenan's safety.
Therefore, this is the reason why Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui can love so deeply!
She stood up, "I'll tell Chen An right now!"
"No!"
"You can't go directly to the literary world. At this time, Master Shang has already gone to the literary world... You send a humble spy who you absolutely trust to go to the literary world to find Master Shang, and ask Master Shang to tell Li Chen'an about this!"
"Okay, I'll go now!"
"Well, you come here after it's over."
"...what are you here for?"
Zhongli Ruoshui looked out the window at the dark night, "Come here with me, and wait for him to come back together!"
