Xiaoyuan City is just a small city, in the entire territory of Yanling, this city no matter what, it can't be said to be very famous, and the location is not good, so in Xiaoyuan City, there has never been any great characters, in the hundreds of years of history of Xiaoyuan City, there has only been a Wenchen who has been an official and achieved seven grades.

The little garden city named Chen Tianen, six years old to learn literature, thirteen years old can compose poetry, become this small garden city well-known prodigy, at the age of fifteen began to take the Yanling exam, the first one ranked first, although this is the first of all the exams, has not yet gotten the opportunity to go to Yanling to take the final exam, but at that time in the small garden city, who doesn't think that this Chen Xiu can shine in the subsequent exams?

Moreover, Chen Tianen is so young, and the future is naturally limitless.

It's just the exam when he was fifteen years old, and in the end, Chen Tianen only passed the first one, although this is regrettable, but everyone has good expectations for Chen Tianen's future.

Three years later, Chen Tianen referred to it for the second time, three in a row, and finally fell in front of the last exam in front of Luoyang City, which made Chen Tianen deeply shocked, the whole person was depressed, and after several years of silence, he was still not allowed to enter, and when he was thirty years old, he finally took an exam, and still failed to go to Luoyang City, he no longer had the mind to refer to it, so he became a small official in the county town not far from Xiaoyuan City.

After becoming a small official, Chen Tianen did not really fall silent, but in the next few decades, he was still struggling to climb up, and when he reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he really became an official.

The Yanling Wenchen of the eighth grade.

Although until he retired a few years ago, he was only a seventh-grade Wenchen, but no matter how you look at it, he is already the most famous person in Xiaoyuan City.

Two years ago, when Chen Tianen said goodbye to his hometown and returned to his hometown, the entire Xiaoyuan City also organized a grand reception.

Now Chen Tianen lives in a house in Xiaoyuan City, which is called Luoyuan.

Chen Tianen is the most respected person in the entire Xiaoyuan City, and knows that he likes to be quiet, so around his house, it is very quiet, and there are no residents.

The city is small, but it can't hold fewer people, and it is okay to live here anymore, but also to live elsewhere.

......

......

Chen Tianen has long silver hair, although he is very old, he can't see his old state, there are few wrinkles on his face and other places, he doesn't look like an old man.

Even if his birthday is clearly recorded in the county records in Xiaoyuan City, I know that he is really old this year.

But he didn't feel like an old man.

It's a strange thing.

What is even stranger, or what is more pleasant, is that this old man must light the lamp every night, not only in a certain place, but in the house, he likes to make the house as if it is in the daytime.

It's called bright as day.

Therefore, the lights in Xiaoyuan City are the most prosperous in Chen Tianen's house.

"Do you know why the old man doesn't like the night?"

Under the eaves of the house, the white-haired old man asked.

Behind him, in the shadows where the lights could not shine, a voice came out.

"I don't know, I just think that if you are sick, day by day, night by night, this is the law of the world, you can't change it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Tianen was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Li Changgu has poetry and clouds, and the days are short, doesn't it mean that the days are not enough?"

When it comes to Mr. Changya, who first studied and then learned swords, the one in the shadows was speechless for a while.

A moment later, a voice came from the shadows, "He doesn't read now. ”

Li Changgu was one of the genius disciples of the Academy back then, if it weren't for those things, I am afraid that now he is not the head of the sect and a certain person with great authority in the Academy.

He stopped studying, and he has always been said by many people to be a great pity.

Chen Tianen touched his beard, then smiled and didn't say anything.

"How do you think you're going to die?"

This is the one in the shadows who asked.

Chen Tianen looked very confused, "You are all here, can I still die?" Besides, I am just an old man who doesn't know anything, who would be so bored and come to kill me?"

The man sneered: "Chen Tianen, the people in Xiaoyuan City don't know who you are, but His Majesty the Emperor in Luoyang City knows that you yourself are restless, and you should die." ”

It is true that Chen Tianen was born in Xiaoyuan City, but the fact that he is a seventh-grade Wenchen is not fake, this is just something that he forged because he didn't want the people of Xiaoyuan City to know his origins.

Chen Tianen is not a seven-grade Wenchen at all, but one of the six bigwigs of Luoyang City, and he is the person who will hear Luoyang City tremble when he stomps his feet in Luoyang City, not only that, but this old man who returned to his hometown a year ago is also the mentor of many court ministers, although most of those people have been cleaned up, but Chen Tianen's influence on Luoyang City is still there.

And not only that, he Chen Tianen is also a well-known literary figure in Luoyang City, with countless followers.

To put it bluntly, if he opens his mouth today and says that he supports Emperor Yanling, then many literati and students in Luoyang City will change their views.

The school palace has always been a holy place for scholars, but I am afraid that none of the gentlemen and masters in the school palace can have the influence of this Chen Tianen.

Therefore, Emperor Yanling faced him, in fact, he was also the main thing to woo, but Chen Tianen was too stubborn, he was unwilling, and Emperor Yanling could only let him leave Luoyang City.

Looking at those flickering lights, Chen Tianen sighed: "The old man can't even stand the night, how can he endure your changes?"

Hearing this, the one in the shadow said: "So you don't live long, that Emperor Yanling will find someone to kill you, kill you, Yanling is excited, but once it is suppressed, everyone can see that person's determination, everyone knows that this matter cannot be changed, which is also very valuable." ”

"You're dead, there's a risk, but that Emperor Yanling will try. ”

"Xuegong doesn't want you to die, so I'm here, as long as I'm here, you won't die. ”

After saying this, the man suddenly laughed at himself: "But I never asked me if I wanted you to die." ”

Chen Tianen turned his head, looked into the man's eyes through the darkness, and then said seriously: "You want to kill me, do you dare?"

The voice is old, but it is loud.

The man didn't reply.

It seems to be very tangled and melancholy.

But soon there was a voice of relief, "You will be killed by someone else." ”

There was joy in the voice.

But it soon came to an abrupt end.
