Chapter 188: Today I have wine and now I am drunk
The atmosphere in the half-city smoke became a little solemn again.
Of course, this kind of solemnity appeared on the faces of Su Muxin, Yang Yulin and Tang Qian, but brothers Cheng Zhe and Qi Zhishan were not much worried about it.
On the contrary, when they looked at Li Chenan, they showed a little more admiration in their eyes.
This kid did such an amazing thing after knowing Yan Zifu's identity... Is this his recklessness or has he already thought about the consequences of this matter?
After all, he is the only son of Yan Jidao, the great master of Ning Kingdom!
After all, this only son also has a mother who is the current emperor’s biological sister who dotes on him very much!
Cheng Zhe raised his eyebrows and raised his glass, "I advise you to run away after drinking this glass of wine!"
Li Chenan also raised his wine glass and smiled slightly: "Actually, I also want to run away, but after thinking about it, the emperor's decree for me is still with me, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala needs to be faced no matter what. Besides..."
He and Cheng Zhe raised their glasses and drank the wine from a distance, and then said: "The lintel of Duke Yan's mansion is very high, and I heard that Duke Yan is also a noble and upright person."
"Even Yan Zifu's father, Yan Jidao, is one of the two great masters of our Ning Kingdom."
"For a commoner like me, I'm afraid they won't even look at me. As for what happened tonight... someone obviously did it deliberately!"
"Someone went and told Mr. Yan Zifu that I was waiting to meet here, so Mr. Yan Zifu came to compete with me."
"Since it is a competition, of course there will be a winner. Yan Zifu was young and energetic, and he was indeed poisoned by my use of poison, but no one has set the rules for this competition and said that poison cannot be used... So, this is actually a Give Yan Zifu a small lesson, let him understand that the rivers and lakes are deep and people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"I think the people in the Duke of Yan's mansion are sensible and would not really kill me, a commoner, for such a trivial matter as a competition... If they kill me, they will not get any benefits, but will fall behind. A reputation for bullying."
"Reputation is extremely important to high-ranking people like you. So I don't think the Duke of Yan will do anything to me. If they really want to... they should find out The person who reported the news to Yan Zifu!"
"This person is truly the one to be punished!"
Li Chenan's words revealed his actions and motives for dealing with Yan Zifu. Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly felt that these words made sense.
He defined this matter as a competition between young men in the world, so the Duke of Yan had no legitimate reason to attack him.
If you want to complain, you can only blame Yan Zifu for not being as skilled as others, or that his experience in the world of martial arts is not as deep as that of Li Chenan.
But I am afraid that the Duke of Yan will not let this matter go easily. Then the Duke of Yan may find out the person behind the scenes——
It was this man who borrowed this reckless knife from the Duke of Yan!
But is the sword of the Duke of Yan so easy to borrow?
If this knife backfired, it would probably make that person drink a pot of water.
Li Chenan poisoned Yan Zifu and brought him down. Firstly, it defused Yan Zifu's aggressive momentum, and also defused the conflicts between the government and the government that might have been caused by Cheng Zhe or Qi Zhishan standing up for Li Chenan.
No matter what, it was impossible for Cheng Zhe or Qi Zhishan to chop Li Chenan down with Yan Zifu in front of them.
This will not only weaken the reputation of these two great princes, but may even cause a rift in the friendship between the Dingguo House and these two great princes.
Secondly... if Li Chenan did this decisively, the Duke of Yan would find the person who borrowed the sword and chop him twice.
But being able to enter and leave the Duke of Yan's mansion and directly meet Yan Zifu, the identity of the person behind this must not be simple.
But, who could he be?
Some people speculated that it was the second prince, others speculated that it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, and some even speculated that it was an elder from the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society, but no one would suspect the sixth princess Ning Shuyu.
"This is your guess after all," Qi Zhidao said to Li Chenan, "Even if your guess is correct, you don't know Yan Zifu!"
"You may say that he is sixteen, but everyone in Kyoto knows that he started doing evil when he was six years old, and it has been ten years now!"
"I don't really like to interact with him. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but there's no need to cause unnecessary trouble because of him."
"His personality is like that of his mother, Princess Liyang. She is not big-minded and very vindictive."
"So regarding this matter today, even if the people in the Duke of Yan's Palace really don't cause trouble for you, Mr. Yan Zifu may not think so... I think Cheng Zhe's words are right. You are in Kyoto.
Well, it’s better to leave early!”
Li Chenan pondered for a moment and nodded.
In the past few days, I have made an agreement with Zhongli Ruoshui that we will return to Guangling together after the Mid-Autumn Festival Literary Meeting.
When spring comes next year, we will go to Shuzhou together.
If no major accidents occurred, I would have spent most of my life in Shuzhou.
Shuzhou is mountainous and far away from Kyoto. This Yan Zifu is not so persistent in chasing him and he might as well go to Shuzhou.
"Brother Cheng and Brother Qi are absolutely right. When something happens in Kyoto, I will leave with Ruoshui."
"Come on, let's keep drinking!"
Li Chenan picked up the wine glass, his brows filled with peace, as if he had forgotten about Yan Zifu:
"Sing loudly when you gain, and then stop when you lose,
There is also a lot of sadness and hatred.
If there is wine today, I will be drunk today.
Worry tomorrow and worry tomorrow!”
"May we have the honor to meet in Kyoto and have a drink together!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they raised their glasses together. Qi Zhixue slapped the table and shouted: "Okay!"
"There is a good saying: If you have wine today, you will get drunk today, but tomorrow you will be worried about tomorrow!"
"You guys are really talented and can speak well. I, Qi Zhixue, am convinced!"
"Have a drink!"
Everyone drank together, and the atmosphere became relaxed again because of this poem that Li Chenan casually said.
Su Mu's heart fell deeply in love with Li Chen'an, and of course he admired him greatly, but he didn't believe that the Duke of Yan would give up on this matter so easily.
Yang Yulin and Tang Qian had already heard of Li Chenan's name, and had some doubts before. But now after listening to Li Chenan's poem, they suddenly understood the huge gap between them!
"At the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, I suddenly feel a hundred times more confident!"
Tang Qian put down his wine glass, raised his arms, and said loudly: "Brother Li exists in our literary world in Ningguo. Why should we be afraid of those so-called genius students in Yueguo!"
He stood up, picked up the wine bottle, came to Li Chenan's side, bowed respectfully, and filled a glass of wine for Li Chenan.
"Brother Li will definitely leave a name in the literary world that will be passed down through the ages. We will definitely follow Brother Li's lead!"
"I would like to propose a toast to Brother Li!"
Li Chenan didn't expect that his casual poem would attract everyone's admiration. He drank one glass after another. All the young people here forgot about Yan Zifu and drank happily. They all seemed to want to experience the meaning of this poem.
The exquisite flavor of optimism and understanding expressed.
But the atmosphere in the private room where Ning Shuyu and the others were on the second floor was a bit cold.
Because she was not happy with it.
Not only did Li Chenan not die, she also threw Yan Zifu from the third floor, which frustrated her plan. Of course, this incident did not have any consequences, because her mother-in-law was the daughter of Duke Yan. Today's Li Chenan A noble concubine, and she is the granddaughter of Duke Yan.
"Why is my cousin so miserable?"
Ning Shuyu withdrew her gaze from the window, her mood waning, "But... Yan Zifu will not let him go, Li Chenan, sooner or later!"
"Tomorrow you ask your father and your grandfather to come to the palace. My mother-in-law wants to see them."
"My father has returned to the palace, so we can finally settle this matter."
"From now on... after you get married, you will live in my princess's house. As for that, that Shen Qiaodie, I have already heard about you and her... There is no room for negotiation on this matter, because I Never like sharing something with a second person!”
"In addition, Li Chenan's wine shop in Guangling City should be in your hands from now on. As for how to do it, my mother-in-law will naturally explain it to your grandfather in detail tomorrow."
"This matter is very important, because my father likes the Huapingchun he brews very much!"
"Let's go. Starting tomorrow, you have to learn more about the rules you should know when being a consort!"
