I still remember the first time I saw the green flowers in Sishimian Alley in April this year.

The coffin shop is right next to the Four Temples.

When we went to the coffin shop, the door of the coffin shop was closed.

Li Xiaohua knocked on the door, but a fierce girl came out from the Four Temples.

That girl is Cuihua.

He originally thought that she was the small boss of the coffin shop and a bronze spy of Lijing Division. Li Chenan never expected that there were so many stories behind Cuihua.

Her last name is Shang!

The Shang Prime Minister from a hundred years ago!

Now the Shang family of the famous Jiangnan family!

After leaving the tavern and heading diagonally across the street to Qianmo Academy, Li Chenan couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of fate.

Banyan Tree Bistro is very close to Qianmo Academy.

Li Chenan and his party arrived within a few steps.

The old concierge led them into the quiet academy and to a house in the backyard.

This is the residence of Zhang Zheng, the dean of Qianmo Academy.

When the door was pushed open, Zhang Laoyuan, who was reading a book, raised his head.

He looked at Li Chenan, stood up, and smiled slightly.

"Please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

The guests and hosts gathered around the tea table, and Zhang Zheng made a pot of tea. "Yesterday, I was supposed to go to the north gate to greet you, but I couldn't get away because I had a distinguished guest here yesterday."

Zhang Zheng raised his eyes and said, "He is Mr. Hua Mantinghua!"

Li Chenan was startled, then heard Zhang Zheng say again: "Mr. Hua said that although you are the regent of Ning State today, you don't care about the etiquette. Instead of making that gesture to greet you in the heavy snow, why not invite you to come here today?"

Have a cup of tea."

"I was worried, but he said it's okay."

"You are really here. He is right about you. I am very pleased."

Li Chenan grinned: "Brother Hua understands me. You are so old, but you still go to meet me in the wind and snow... isn't this shortening my life!"

"When he was in Kyoto, he said he wanted to travel around the world. I should have thought that the first place he wanted to come was here... Where is he now?"

Zhang Zheng stroked his long beard and said, "Let's go."

"Yesterday you entered Guangling City through the north gate, and he left through the south gate.".o

"I asked him why he didn't wait?"

"He said... He is already old, and he realizes that time is precious. We have been friends for many years, and you will not care about it. He also wants to leave his footprints in the world for one more day."

Li Chenan acquiesced, feeling a little worried:

"It's just that the wind and snow are very strong, and Brother Hua is walking alone... can his body and bones bear it?"

Zhang Zheng raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Li Chenan's face, and he suddenly smiled:

"Hua Lao is full of Confucian peaches and plums all over the world and has many followers. He is not alone."

Li Chenan didn't think anything of it, but he agreed with what Old Master Zhang said.

After all, Hua Manting is the dean of the Taiyuan Academy, and many officials in Ningguo are his disciples.

When he goes somewhere, given his reputation, he will be treated like a distinguished guest.

But is this guy a little too impatient?

If we could meet him in Guangling, we could ask him about Xi Wei's appearance, or ask him to tell his story.

Now that you've left, let's go.

This Zhang Laoyuan was inviting me here, could this be what he was talking about?

When the water boiled, Zhang Zheng put in the tea and said:

"Lao Hua incorporated your piece "The Charcoal Seller" into Chinese studies, and its meaning is far-reaching."

"I have read this article, and then I heard Hua Lao talk about some of your deeds in Kyoto and your ideas after becoming the regent... Hua Lao has high regard for you, and I am deeply impressed!"

"Next year, this article will be spread throughout the country along with the teaching plan. From now on, students all over the world will probably think about this article."

The tea is served again.

Zhang Zheng put out the fire.

He poured a cup of tea for Li Chenan and others and said:

"Of course, the main reason why I asked you to come here is not for this matter, but..."

He stood up, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a letter from it.

He returned to the tea table and handed the letter to Li Chenan:

"This is what Mr. Hua Lao left for you."

"On your own."

Li Chenan took the letter and did not open it. Instead, he read the five words 'Li Chenan personally expresses' written on the envelope. He felt a little weird in his heart.

According to Hua Manting’s temperament, shouldn’t he write ‘brother’s personal greeting’?

He wrote the name!

This made Li Chenan feel that this matter was very formal.

Then there may be some information in the letter that is not suitable for others to know.

So, he put the letter in his arms.

At this point, the business seems to be done.

Li Chen'an thought about it and had nothing else to talk about with Zhang Laoyuan, so he drank a cup of tea and left.

Zhang Zheng didn't try to stay, but he glanced at Xiao Baozi a few times.

This did not attract anyone's attention. They just thought that he was surprised that Zhongli Ruoshui disappeared from Li Chenan's side and was replaced by another woman.

So I said goodbye.

Li Chenan and his party returned to Li Mansion.

He came to the room on the second floor alone and took out the letter from his arms, wondering if it was Brother Hua who wanted to tell me Xi Wei's identity?

That must be it!

He had a relationship with Xi Wei once or several times.

Brother Hua is a great Confucian of the Ning Kingdom, and Xi Wei is a famous strategist. He must be extremely talented, so it is very possible that the two of them cherish each other.

Brother Hua knew who he was, but he couldn't abandon that friendship and betray him.

Therefore, he chose not to see himself.

If you see him and ask him, Brother Hua will be in a dilemma.

So the best way is to leave this letter!

Mentioned in the letter that he might be able to uncover Xi Wei's identity with the help of the powerful espionage power of the Imperial City Division.

So, Li Chenan opened the letter with great expectation, took out the letter paper, and suddenly became speechless——

"Brother, let me count on my fingers. The girl Xiao beside you deserves to be cherished very much!"

Without raising his head, this line of text entered Li Chenan's eyes directly.

"Then Miss Xiao is a rat, and you are a tiger."

"The rat girl is mature and careful in running the household. She can accompany you through thick and thin, and can also help you rule the world!"

"I wish you a long life together, a son soon, and all the best!"

This is what I wrote on the first piece of paper.

Could this old man also tell fortunes?

Li Chenan grinned, thinking that Brother Hua is so worried!

He should have known that Miss Xiao was Xi Wei's daughter, but Xi Wei caused the incident in Kyoto and ended up putting the fruit in his hands... At that time, Miss Xiao hadn't come to him yet, could they really know how to calculate it?

?

Li Chenan thought of the two great men in his previous life: Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang!

Do you believe in fate?

Can you not believe that I have traveled through time?

However, Li Chenan didn't pay too much attention to this, because that girl Xiao was indeed his confidante.

He put down the paper and held the remaining piece of paper in his hand.

This piece of paper is simpler, it only has one sentence:

"Xi Wei said that if you are the emperor and Miss Xiao is the queen, he will help you clear the way and give you a great empire!"
