After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The sun has set.

But in the summer of early August, the heat is still strong.

Walking out of Wuya Mountain, the four of Li Chen'an, who walked into Xiayuanzhou of the State of Wu, arrived at the first city in the north of the State of Wu on the evening of this day——

Zhaohua City!
Not a breath of wind.

The leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees on both sides of the streets and alleys in the city are all lifeless.

There are a little sweet-scented osmanthus blooming.

The scent seemed to settle down.

Walking in the alley, what I smell is a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Perhaps it was because the heat had not yet faded, and there were not many people on the streets.

Li Chenan and his party stood at the door of an inn.

He looked up and immediately laughed——

Yuelai Inn!

"Let's just stay here for one night, take a rest, and continue on our way tomorrow."

……

……

As the northernmost city of Wu State, Zhaohua City has almost the same role as Yudan City in Ning State.

It is the last supply point for businessmen from the state of Wu to go to the state of Ning, and it is also the first place where businessmen from the state of Ning enter the state of Wu.

There has been no war between Ning and Wu for many years. This city, which was once used to defend against the invasion of Ning, has gradually changed from a military center to a commercial center because of the establishment of the surrounding Seven Walled City.

Its scale is quite large, and it was originally extremely prosperous——

It has the same fate as Yudan City, because the outbreak of the war between Ning and Wu at Wuyaguan has prevented the smooth flow of commerce and trade, so this city has changed from the bustling past to the rather cold one now.

As the largest inn in Zhaohua City, the business of Yuelai Inn is much cooler than before.

But because of the name of Yuelai Inn, there are still some people living in the inn.

For example, those merchants who waited for the end of the Wuya Pass war.

It is also like some people in the rivers and lakes who pass here.

East Park.

The second floor.

Tianzi No. [-] room.

Xia Hua was lying comfortably in the bathing pool in her room, her hands unintentionally fiddled with the petals floating on the water, her beautiful eyes were looking at the roof.

She has been looking at it for a long time, but her eyes are not focused.

What came to her mind were the poems she got when she traveled to Ningguo, and the person who made those poems.

She really wanted to forget that person, but found that she couldn't forget those poems at all, so she couldn't forget that person either!
I saw him from a distance in an unknown field in Shuzhou.

I have seen him many times at close range at the Water Mirror Platform in Chongqing Mansion.

His appearance was engraved in her mind.

Not to mention handsome and flawless.

It can't be said that it is tall and straight.

But he has a kind of refined air about him.

Thinking about it now, it is the taste of Shixian.

Three points of ink fragrance.

Three points scholarly.

There are four points... It should be a man's incense.

Xia Hua's face flushed suddenly, and she sighed leisurely:
"Those who disturb my heart... Li Chen'an!"

Her hand fell on the edge of the bathing pool, where there was a small flying knife.

She took the flying knife and looked at it carefully, the corners of her mouth curled up again:
"You are a literati, why bother with a knife."

"You are a literati, why bother to exercise power!"

"If you are obsessed with poetry, use your pen and ink to write this picture of the world of mortals... Maybe on a certain evening in a certain year and a certain day, I can play your words to the world with the harmony of the piano."

She put down the throwing knife again, and her gaze fell on the rippling petals in the pool.

She picked up a handful of water.

Water dripped from between the fingers, leaving a bright red petal in the palm of the hand.

Her face gradually faded.

"Famous pianos are easy to get, but bosom friends are hard to find."

"Heaven gave birth to you, Li Chen'an... Although you have left, you have been shining in the world for 500 years!"

"It's just poor Miss Xiao."

"As for me, I will try my best to forget you!"

"It is dusty in the deepest memory."

She put her hands in the pool, and the petals floated on the surface of the water, gradually drifting away.

She stood up from the pool.

All gone.

The look of decadence and sadness was gone from her face.

She looked at her beautiful body and the water droplets falling from her body. She stepped up and stood by the pool, but suddenly found a flower petal on her right shoulder.

Bright red petals.

Snow-white fragrant shoulders.

She looked at it for a moment, stretched out her left hand, twirled the petal down, waved her hand, and the petal fell into the pool.

She put on her clothes and stood in front of the window with her shoulders of wet long hair.

There is sunset in front of the window.

Below the window is the courtyard of the inn.

Her eyes suddenly froze——

Two people walked in the courtyard!
She didn't see the faces of those two people, what she saw was their backs!
One tall and one short.

One man and one woman!
Her eyes fell on the man's back!
She was startled suddenly.

She jumped out of the window!

At the moment when she jumped down, Li Chenan's keen facial features had sensed something strange behind her.

A flying knife landed in his palm.

With the other hand, he held Zhongli Ruoshui.

He turned around suddenly, and stood behind Zhongli Ruoshui, and in front of Xia Hua who had just landed!
Li Chenan was taken aback.

He has seen this girl!
It's just that he was wearing a mask, and his expression was perfectly covered by that mask.

Xia Hua stared at Li Chenan's face.

I was immediately disappointed.

"girl……?"

"Ah, I got the wrong person."

"Oh, goodbye!"

Before Zhongli Ruoshui could react, Li Chenan had already turned around, took her hand and walked towards the west courtyard.

Xia Hua still looked at Li Chenan's back.

Gradually let go.

She could only laugh at herself, but suddenly found that deep down in her heart, she cared so much about him.

She did not return to the room on the second floor.

She sat under the gazebo in the courtyard.

Taking out a horn comb from her sleeve pocket, she combed her wet long hair.

The sun was setting and her hair was barely dry.

At this moment, the second brother Lin Zifeng walked in.

"Little Junior Sister,"

"Second senior brother... why didn't senior senior brother come back?"

"That's right. We originally wanted to book a table at Wankelai, but unexpectedly met Chen Baiwen, the young master of the city lord here at Wankelai."

Xia Hua's expression was indifferent, she didn't know this person, even if she did, so what?
Lin Zifeng said again:
"This Chen Baiwen is Tanhualang from Suiqiuwei last year, and together with Aihe Dong, Pu Qianmo, and Tai Zhaohua from Wanlin Academy in Dongxu City, they are also known as the Four Great Talents of the Wu Kingdom."

Xia Hua stopped combing her hair suddenly, and raised her eyes to look at Lin Zifeng, "The Four Great Talents? Can their talents be compared with Li Chenan's?"

Lin Zifeng choked, "This... Li Chenan is dead after all, but they are alive!"

Xia Hua's complexion suddenly darkened, she lowered her head, and continued to comb her hair.

"Junior Sister, this Lin Zifeng is not only a genius, but his martial arts are also very good, and he has won the appreciation of the third young master Tianwai Feixian from the Xuanwu Hall."

Xia Hua frowned slightly: "Third Young Master? Which Third Young Master?"

"It's the third young master from Qiu's family in Dongxu City."

"Oh... Qiu Jiulou... and then?"

"Is His Royal Highness the Prince already returned to Kyoto and will be enthroned as emperor?"

"His Royal Highness cherishes talent and invited Chen Baiwen to Beijing."

"The other thing is that the date of His Royal Highness's enthronement ceremony has not yet been set, but in order to promote Wu's literary style, His Royal Highness has decided to hold a huge poetry meeting on the night of the Lantern Festival..."

"Chen Baiwen heard that we are the Seven Swords of Tianshan Mountain, so he enthusiastically invited Zai Wanke to entertain us."

"Eldest brother thinks that since this person has both civil and military skills, he will either become an official in the court or become a core member of the Xuanwu Hall in the future. Since he has this intention, it is not easy to slap him in the face, so let me come back to pick you up How about going?"

Xia Hua pondered for a moment, but in her capacity, she didn't need to pay attention to such a person at all.

But after thinking about it, she nodded, "Then let's go before dark."

"it is good!"

West Wing.

Li Chen'an looked at Qin Rigang: "We've been exhausted all the way, so we'll find the best restaurant, and we'll all have a good meal!"

Qin Rigang cupped his hands and saluted: "Master, the best restaurant in Zhaohua City is said to be Wankelai."

"Then let's take a shower and go to Wankelai!" (End of this chapter)
