Chapter 679 Qiu Chen
The full moon is in the sky.
Bailu Academy, located in the northern suburbs of Dongxu City, looks extremely deserted under the moonlight.
There was a lantern hanging on the not-so-tall archway.
Lonely.
Even the four big words "Bailu Academy" on the archway were not completely illuminated.
The huge academy was even darker, with only a small courtyard in the corner, and there was still a lantern lit at this moment.
The lantern hangs on an old locust tree.
There was a low stone table under the tree, with two old men sitting in front of the table, and a jar of wine and three dishes on it.
Hua Manting was sitting opposite the old Master Qiu Chen in a blue shirt.
He picked up the wine jar and patted it on the mud seal, poured two bowls of wine and handed it over.
"I have thought about it for forty years and read it forty years. Have you figured it out? Have you seen it out?"
Qiu Chen took the wine bowl and took a big sip, and answered the question that he was irrelevant: "Good wine!"
"It's not a liquan, what's the name of this wine?"
Hua Manting grinned: "Drawing the spring in the painting!"
Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, "Take the name of Guangling City Painting Pinghu Lake?"
“That’s right!”
"So, this wine was also brewed by Li Chen'an?"
Hua Manting raised her eyebrows and crossed her legs to make herself sit more comfortable: "It seems that you have really turned a blind eye to the things outside the window over the years."
Qiu Chen took another sip, "You are not right. At least I still remember painting Pinghu and knowing Li Chen'an."
Hua Manting raised his eyes: "You know all his poems, too?"
"I know that although there is no student in the Bailu Academy, I still have a book boy. The poems of the immortal poet are so famous that my book boy admires him so much that he writes and recites every day, so I will naturally know."
Hua Manting pondered for three breaths, "What do you think of his poems and articles?"
Qiu Chen stroked his long beard and nodded slightly: "Of course it is excellent. He can indeed be called a poet, especially the article "The Charcoal Selling Man".
Hua Manting picked up the wine bowl and took a long way to the distance, and the two of them drank each other.
"He also has another identity, the Regent of Ningguo. 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, nor do I want to know. After all, he has passed away. If I know, it will only increase my worries."
After saying this, Qiu Chen said again:
"You came from Ningguo just to convince me to leave this Bailu Academy?"
Hua Manting nodded: "I'm worried that no one knows if you die here."
Qiu Chen grinned and said calmly: "Where is not buried? I think it's good to die here."
Flowers in the court do not comment:
"I don't admire many people in my life, you Qiu Chen are one."
He slowly stood up and looked up at the moon, "More than 40 years ago, you came to Ningguo from Yue Kingdom. I remember that we first met on the shore of Huaping Lake in Guangling City."
"You stayed in Ningguo for a year, I stayed with you for a year, and then... you came to Wu."
"You stayed in Wu again."
"I still remember that I came to Wu Kingdom to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Fair three times and ranked second in three times!"
Hua Manting turned around and looked at Qiu Chen, "You took the first place three times!"
"The eldest princess Wu Wen is so devoted to you, and you are deeply in love with Wu Wen... This should have been a story on earth, but Jishufang found out your identity as the Privy Council of Yue!"
"Of course, Emperor Wu cannot let the eldest princess marry a spy leader in Yue State. He did not kill you. This should be the love the eldest princess asked for you."
Qiu Chen looked up at Hua Manting, and his mouth curled up: "It seems that you have tried your best to me."
"Since you know that I am from the Privy Council of Yue Kingdom, how dare you invite me to Ningguo?"
Hua Manting shook his head: "I'm not inviting you to Ningguo."
"Then what are you thinking?"
Hua Manting returned to the table, sat down, leaned over, and smiled and said, "Look at what you said."
"I came to Wu Kingdom and I do have some things to do, and I don't want to see you or see you. This is one of my original plans."
Qiu Chen turned his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am a lonely old man, what's the best thing about me?"
"Don't say, you old man still looks a little bit savory."
"Talking about serious matters," Hua Manting lowered his voice and his expression became serious.
Qiu Chen looked at Hua Manting again, "What else is there to do?"
"You listen to me first and tell me a story."
"That spring twenty years ago, you went to the Sword Washing 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, I certainly won't tell you about this."
"That spring, Wu Xichen did not return to the Sword Tower for a long time. His brother Wu Ximiao officially took over as the owner of the Sword Tower, and Wu Wen, the head of Tianyin Pavilion, also went to the Sword Tower!"
Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his hands were quietly placed under the table.
Under the table, there is a sword hidden!
Hua Manting seemed to know nothing, and he whispered:
"That spring, those who went to the Sword Cleaning Tower were Lu Chuqi, the mountain master of Ning Guomu Mountain Sword Knife, and Dongfang Hong, the head of Songshan Sword Court. Of course, they went to congratulate Wu Ximiao, but no one expected you to go secretly."
"It's nothing if you go."
"Because you are not going to Jianshan where the Jianshe Tower is located, but a valley at the foot of Jianshe Mountain, so no one knows that you have been there except the eldest princess Wu Wen!"
"You stayed in that valley for a few days, and then returned to each other. The eldest princess returned to heaven and found out that she was pregnant!"
Qiu Chen's vision became more and more sharp, and the face of flowers was still light and light.
"This is nothing shameful!"
"No one should have known about this, but Wu Wen started to retreat after returning to Tianshan. She gave birth to a baby boy. When the baby boy was only ten months old, Wu Wen took the child to the sky..."
"She is too anxious to share this joy with you."
"It should be here. Your family has been reunited for a few days, but Emperor Wu found out."
"You were sent to prison. Wu Wen took the child to the Sword Cleaning Tower. Before you even arrived at the Sword Cleaning Tower, you were ambushed. Wu Wen was seriously injured. Your child... Of course, he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Wu!"
"If Wu Wen hadn't forced her to die, you wouldn't have lived now!"
Qiu Chen took a deep breath, "I don't want to hear you say this!"
"No, what I want to tell you is that you and Wu Wen's children are not dead!"
Qiu Chen's eyes suddenly widened, his old eyes were full of disbelief!
Because the ambush was brought to the master of Jishu Room by the great master Mo Wangchen!
Even Wu Wen was seriously injured, and the child was definitely not likely to survive.
But Hua Manting actually said that the child was not dead...
Qiu Chen's body was trembling, "He, is he still alive?"
"Well, lively and lively."
"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 mouthful. He raised his eyes and said two words:
Chapter completed!
