The podium of Zaidaolou.
This is a rather spacious room.
Many lanterns were lit inside, so the huge room was illuminated very brightly.
There are many short tables placed on both sides of the room.
According to the previously known rules, the seats for students from Yue State are on the left, and students from Ning State are naturally on the right.
The two seats are facing each other, with a distance of more than Zhang in the middle.
Hua Manting and Wei Xuanmo were not here.
As the judges of this essay meeting, they waited on the third floor of the main building to welcome the emperor.
When Li Chenan entered this room, there was no one in the seat on the left, and fifteen people were already sitting on the sixteen short tables on the right.
These are the students of Ningguo Tai College in this essay meeting.
They didn't know Li Chenan, so when Li Chenan came in, they just looked up, then looked away, and lowered their heads again.
Their expressions were very gloomy.
There is a lot of unwillingness and anxiety hidden in the eyes.
What is not reconciled is that although this is an exchange, everyone knows that this is a literary battle between Ning State and Yue State.
They were selected, they had already put on their battle robes, and they were already ready to go out, but they were met with a blow to the head.
They were lectured individually by the professors of the Tai Academy. If there were any rebels, the lives of their families would be threatened by the ichthyosaurs.
This is their weakness.
They have to come to this literary meeting, and they don't even have the right to refuse.
They also had to play the role of puppets in this essay meeting, not to mention standing on the Moxiang Pavilion in front of tens of thousands of students reciting poems and odes in high spirits, they couldn't even say a word.
This is a great shame!
It wasn't given to them by the country of Yue, but it was given to them by Prime Minister Ji of his own country!
The heart of this young man was originally full of passion, but now he knows that the world is so dark.
And so cold!
As for anxiety...
This is the conscience stored in their hearts.
I and the others were bound hands and feet, but I still wanted to watch Li Chen'an face the sixteen students of Yue State alone, and watch him go to the battlefield alone.
To die!
That's right, in fact, in the eyes of all the insiders, Li Chenan is sending himself to death!
Li Chen'an was about the same age as them, his words had been engraved on stone tablets and erected in front of the archway of the Imperial College, and now they have penetrated into the hearts of these students.
Reading for the peace of everything... This book is not only aggrieved, but also very ironic.
This may be one of the reasons why Ji Tai wanted him to die.
Because the wood is more beautiful than the forest, the wind will destroy it.
It is also because the current Ning Country is not peaceful at all, and some people hope that Ning Country is not peaceful!
Ningguo's officialdom is so dark, naturally no light is allowed!
Fifteen students were thinking about each other at the moment, so the atmosphere here seemed a little dull.
When Li Chenan walked to the right and sat down on the shortest one next to him, the fifteen people turned their heads to look at him again.
Sixteen positions, the last one, of course he is Li Chenan!
As the future son-in-law of Dingguohou's mansion, he probably already knew about it.
They originally thought that Li Chenan's complexion would be dark, nervous, and even panicked.
Yet what they saw was just the opposite.
Li Chenan smiled, and even waved at them, without any timidity, let alone fear.
"Things, I generally know."
Li Chenan took the initiative to speak, "You... It's not your fault, because if I put myself in the situation, if my family members are threatened with life, I will also keep silent."
"It's not your fault."
"So you don't have to feel guilty."
"As for tonight's literary meeting," Li Chen'an smiled kindly, and said, "Just be a witness."
"Maybe you can witness a miracle happen."
The students were stunned for a moment, and the young man sitting next to Li Chenan squirmed twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Li, I'm waiting...I'm so ashamed!"
"This is not our wish, but compelled by that old thief's lust!"
"If, if brother Li really went tonight, we have made an agreement that we will take care of your family, and we will definitely do it during Qingming..."
Li Chenan raised his hand, and a guy interrupted the boy's words.
"Can't you say something nice?"
The young man swallowed again, his words still low, "Brother Li, this is the reality now, although I hope you can beat those students from Yue, but... we still have to be realistic and don't think about it." That unreal thing."
Li Chenan stared, "Why is it so illusory?"
"Do you believe that I can defeat them by myself?!"
The young man pondered for a moment, then nodded honestly, "I think, while there is still some time, Brother Li wants to talk about the things behind him!"
Is this about to confess your will?
Li Chenan glared at the young man again, and suddenly grinned again, "If I want you to avenge me, kill Ji Tai...do you dare?"
As soon as these words came out, the fifteen teenagers were startled.
The young man beside Li Chenan even turned pale.
In any case, Ji Tai did not fall, he holds the power of Ningguo and their future.
Although they hoped that Ji Tai would die sooner, but for such a big event, the person they hoped for was the current emperor.
As for them, they seem really small.
"This...you have to wait for the opportunity."
"Ji Tai is now in the age of hearing, but we can beat him to death! So Brother Li, why don't you change your wish?"
Li Chenan laughed.
It's not a joke that they are timid, because in the face of such power, these students are really helpless.
Suddenly footsteps came from the door, Li Chenan didn't say anything about Ji Tai.
He and the rest of the students raised their eyes and saw the sixteen students from Yue State entering in a file.
There are smiles on their faces.
Before the competition started, they seemed to have already won.
The students of Yue Guo Guo Zi Jian sat opposite and looked up at these opponents of Ning Guo Tai College, but what they saw was not a vigorous young man full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, all the fifteen students of Ningguo looked angry and lowered their heads.
This is not an admission of defeat, but an unconcealable guilt in my heart.
Only Li Chen'an still looked up at those people opposite with a smile on his face.
His eyes swept across the faces of the sixteen people, and then met the eyes of the handsome young man.
He is Yang Duoduo.
There is no contempt or hostility in his eyes, but curiosity, and a little bit of appreciation!
He didn't know why this young man named Li Chen'an still had such strong confidence.
He also didn't know why this young man named Li Chen'an won against them——
They already knew the proposition of this literary meeting, and their teacher Wei Xuanmo even made a poem himself just in case!
Wei Xuanmo is a great Confucian in the Yue Kingdom, a generation of rich scholars.
Although Li Chen'an is very talented and learned, although all the poems he wrote will be included in "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian", but tonight he did it hastily, unable to think carefully, let alone polish it carefully.
Therefore, he should have lost.
But for some reason, Yang Duoduo hoped that he would win!
He looked at Li Chenan and smiled slightly, "If you really beat us tonight, if you go to the capital of the Yue Kingdom in the future, I, my lord, will sweep the bed and wait for you!"
