The podium of Zaidao Building.
This is a rather spacious room.
There were many lanterns burning inside, illuminating this huge room very brightly.
There are many low tables placed on both sides of the room.
According to the previously known rules, students from Yue State were seated on the left, and students from Ning State were naturally seated on the right.
The two seats face each other, with more than ten feet of distance between them.
Hua Manting and Wei Xuanmo are not here.
As judges of this cultural conference, they were waiting to welcome the emperor on the third floor of the main building.
When Li Chenan entered the room, there was no one on the left seat, but fifteen people were already sitting on the sixteen short tables on the right.
These are the students from Ningguotai College in this cultural conference.
They didn't know Li Chenan, so when Li Chenan came in, they just looked up, then withdrew their gaze and lowered their heads.
Their expressions were very gloomy.
There was a lot of unwillingness and uneasiness hidden in his eyes.
Unfortunately, although this was an exchange, everyone knew that this was a literary battle between Ning Guo and Yue Guo.
They were selected, had already put on their jerseys, and were ready to go to war, but they were hit hard.
They were lectured individually by the teachers from Taiyuan College. If there was any resistance, the lives of their families would be threatened by the bastards from the Fish and Dragon Society.
This is their weakness.
They had to come to this cultural conference, and they didn’t even have the right to refuse.
They also had to play the role of puppets in this literary conference, not to mention standing in the Moxiang Pavilion in front of tens of thousands of students reciting poems and composing poems with high spirits, they could not even say a single word.
This is a great shame and humiliation!
It was not given to them by the Yue Kingdom, but by Prime Minister Ji of their own country, who was all-powerful!
This young man has a heart full of passion, but now he realizes how dark the world is.
And so cold!
As for uneasiness...
This is the conscience they have in their hearts.
The hands and feet of himself and others were restrained, but they still had to watch Li Chenan face the sixteen students of the Yue Kingdom alone, and watch him go to the battlefield alone.
Go and die!
That's right, in fact, in the eyes of all insiders, Li Chenan is sending himself to death!
Li Chenan is of similar age to them. His words have been engraved on a stone tablet and erected in front of the archway of Taiyuan College, and now they have penetrated deeply into the hearts of these students.
Reading to bring peace to all things... This book was not only frustrating to read, but also extremely ironic.
This may be one of the reasons why Ji Tai wants him to die.
Because the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
It is also because the current Ning country is not peaceful, and some people hope that this Ning country is not peaceful!
Ningguo's officialdom is so dark, so naturally there is no room for a bright light!
The fifteen students each had their own thoughts at the moment, so the atmosphere here seemed a bit dull.
When Li Chenan walked to the right and sat down on the short girl next to him, the fifteen people turned to look at him again.
Of the sixteen positions, the last one is of course Li Chenan!
As the future uncle of Dingguo Hou Mansion, I guess he already knew about this.
They thought Li Chenan's face would be dark, nervous, or even panicked.
But what they saw was exactly the opposite.
Li Chenan smiled and even waved at them, showing no timidity at all, let alone fear.
"I know roughly the matter."
Li Chenan took the initiative to speak, "You... I don't blame you, because if I put myself in their shoes, if my family was being coerced and put their lives in danger, I would also remain silent."
"It's not your fault."
"So you don't have to feel guilty."
"As for tonight's cultural gathering," Li Chen'an smiled kindly and said, "Just be a witness."
"Perhaps you can witness a miracle happen."
The students were stunned for a moment. The young man sitting next to Li Chenan wriggled his mouth twice, swallowed, and then whispered: "Brother Li, we... we are really embarrassed!"
"This is not our wish, but forced by the old thief's power!"
"If, if Brother Li really goes tonight, we have made an agreement that we will definitely support your family, and we will definitely do it during the Qingming Festival..."
Li Chenan raised his hand, and a guy interrupted the young man.
"Can't you say something nice?"
The young man swallowed again, and his words were still low, "Brother Li, this is the reality today. Although we all hope that you can defeat those students from the Yue Kingdom, but... we still have to be realistic and don't think about it. That ethereal thing.”
Li Chenan stared, "Why is it so illusory?"
"You don't believe that I can defeat them on my own?!"
The young man pondered for a moment and nodded honestly, "I think that while there is still some time at this time, Brother Li would like to talk about his wishes for what will happen after his death!"
Are you going to give your last words?
Li Chenan glared at the young man again, and suddenly grinned, "If I want you to avenge me and kill Ji Tai...do you dare?"
As soon as these words came out, the fifteen teenagers were shocked.
The young man next to Li Chenan turned pale.
In any case, Jitai did not fall. He held the power of Ningguo and their future.
Although they hope in their hearts that Ji Tai can die soon, for such a big event, the person they place their hope on is the current emperor.
As for them, they seemed a bit insignificant.
"This... you have to wait for the opportunity."
"Jitai is already in his old age now. We can kill him! So why don't Brother Li change his wish?"
Li Chenan laughed.
It's not a joke that they are timid, because in the face of such a powerful force, they students are really powerless.
Suddenly there were footsteps at the door, and Li Chenan said nothing more about Ji Tai.
He and the other students looked up and saw sixteen students from the Yue Kingdom filing in.
There was a smile on their face.
Even before the competition started, they seemed to have already won.
The students from Yueguo Imperial Academy sat across from each other and looked up at their opponents from Ningguotai Academy. What they saw were not high-spirited young men full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, all the fifteen students from Ning Guo had angry expressions on their faces and lowered their heads.
This is not an admission of defeat, but a feeling of guilt that cannot be concealed in my heart.
Only Li Chenan still looked up at the people opposite with a smile.
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 was no contempt or hostility in his eyes, but curiosity and a little appreciation!
He didn't know why this young man named Li Chenan still had such strong confidence.
He didn't know why this young man named Li Chenan defeated them——
They already knew the theme of this essay meeting, and even just in case, their teacher Wei Xuanmo wrote a poem himself!
Wei Xuanmo was a great Confucian of the Yue Kingdom, a man of great learning and wealth.
Although Li Chenan is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and although all his poems will be included in the "Ning Shi Ji Yuan 100 Chapters", he did it in a hurry tonight, unable to think carefully, let alone polish it carefully.
Therefore, he should have lost.
But for some reason, Yang Duoduo hopes he can win!
He looked at Li Chenan and smiled slightly, "If you really defeat us tonight, if you go to the capital of Yue Kingdom in the future, I and I will be waiting for you!"
