Chapter 532: A Humble Request to His Highness

"You, what are you doing?"

The Liangzhou Army watched Xie Ling and his group with covetous eyes.

Xie Ling gave a cold laugh: "I am the Third Prince of the current dynasty; who dares to stop me?"

The expressions of the group changed.

The Third Prince?

Isn't this the one who is at odds with their own young master every single day? The faces of these Liangzhou Army soldiers turned ugly all of a sudden.

"What? Do you intend to commit treason?"

Xie Ling looked arrogant.

These Liangzhou Army soldiers were naturally furious but dared not speak.

"Move!"

Xie Ling laughed heartily and waved his hand: "Light the firecrackers for me! Let's go see how that Prefect Liu is doing together!"

"Light them!"

The way this group was acting was simply extremely arrogant.

A full three carts of fireworks and firecrackers, once lit, emitted a crackling sound. It immediately attracted quite a few people in Liangzhou City, who began to discuss it heatedly.

The more people there were, the more excited Xie Ling naturally became.

Finally, there was a chance to wash away his previous shame!

Finally, there was a chance to ruthlessly trample this Prefect Liu under his feet!

The Zheng Family, who had once been purged by Liu Zheng—this grudge would be avenged today!

"Light some more, light some more!"

Thinking of this, and thinking that Prefect Liu would be thoroughly dead after this, the joy in his heart was beyond words.

Crackle, pop...

Crackle, pop...

They walked all the way toward the Liangzhou Poetry Society.

The citizens of Liangzhou were all looking confused at this moment. Is some wealthy family getting married? Why is it so lively?

Not to mention the people inside the Liangzhou Poetry Society.

Liu Zheng asked Shen Xing beside him: "Is there anyone in Liangzhou City getting married today?"

This display sounded very grand; if it weren't a wealthy family, who could afford it?

Shen Xing frowned and shook his head: "I haven't heard of any."

At this moment, the scholars at the scene finally realized—so this wasn't arranged by Prefect Liu?

Then who could it be?

"Hahahaha! Where is Prefect Liu? Oh my, I've been here for so long, is Prefect Liu not coming out to welcome an old friend like me?"

Just then, Xie Ling and his entourage had already swaggered in.

The attendants beside him were even more arrogant and domineering, acting like bullies; anyone who blocked them was pushed aside directly.

Xie Ling?

Liu Zheng looked confused and gave a chuckle: "What wind has blown the Third Prince all the way to Liangzhou!"

The Third Prince?

The whole place erupted in an uproar.

This is the Third Prince? The Third Prince Xie Ling who has been stirring up trouble in Liangzhou recently?

What is he doing here?

Liu Zheng led a group of people and still performed a bow.

Xie Ling laughed and said: "Look at what you're saying, Prefect Liu, we are old friends, there's no need to be so polite. Hmm? Look, I knew there would be a show to watch today, so I specifically brought over a dozen carts of one-thousand-shot Big Red Robe from Pingzhou to liven things up. How about it, loud enough, right? Hahaha!"

One-thousand-shot Big Red Robe.

It was the most powerful firecracker in the Longyan Dynasty.

An awkward silence fell over the scene.

"What? Could it be that you aren't here to join in the fun with Prefect Liu, but are here to cause trouble?"

"How preposterous!"

He deliberately kept a straight face, glared at these scholars, and scolded angrily: "I am the Third Prince of the current dynasty, Xie Ling! If you have any grievances, you can report them to the imperial court through proper channels. What is the meaning of sitting here? What, have you suffered some great injustice? Everything should be based on harmony, come, tell me about it!"

As he spoke, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He was so good at this!

He was simply too good at this!

He could imagine that once he said this, these people would surely denounce all of Prefect Liu's crimes on the spot, then he would hypocritically defend him a little, and then trample him a few more times! This Prefect Liu would truly be dead for good!

All the scholars at the scene were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other...

The scene became eerily quiet.

Xie Ling had been waiting for the group to be filled with righteous indignation, but seeing this posture, something felt wrong!

He repeated: "I said, I am the Third Prince Xie Ling. If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will stand up for you! Do you hear me? Under the bright sky, in the vast Longyan, do not fear anyone's threats!"

"I!"

"Will stand up for you!"

Come quickly!

Hurry and hug my thighs and cry out your grievances, so I can help you arrest Prefect Liu!

What are you all standing there for?

Xie Ling looked at this group of people, still standing motionless, and felt anxious inside. Do these people not know how to cooperate with my performance at all? Now that things have reached this point, what are you still shy about, what are you still afraid of?

"You all..."

Just at this moment, the Dean of Yuelu Academy stood out, first respectfully performing a grand salute toward Xie Ling, and then slowly said: "Your Highness the Prince, I am Chen Yan. Over these past few days, I have been deeply taught by Master Prefect Liu and have gained much enlightenment in academics. If you ask what our request is, I beg the Third Prince to bring three more carts of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate Master Prefect Liu opening an academy, establishing a school, and spreading Heart Learning?"

Xie Ling's arrogant and domineering expression.

Came to an abrupt halt.

Wrong!

The plot is not supposed to be like this!

What did he just say? What did he say? He suspected he had misheard!

Next.

The Four Great Academy Principals said in unison: "We earnestly beg Your Highness the Prince to bring three more carts of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate Master, opening an academy, establishing a school, and spreading Heart Learning!"

Then...

Everyone at the scene followed suit.

"We earnestly beg Your Highness the Prince to bring three more carts of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate Master, opening an academy, establishing a school, and spreading Heart Learning!"

Xie Ling was stunned.

He was dumbfounded.

He stood there blankly, his mind a complete void.

What the hell...

What is going on! What is going on!

The firecrackers outside were still popping and crackling.

The tens of thousands of people at the scene were all bowing in unison.

Wrong!

The plot shouldn't be like this!

Wrong!

This is fake, everything happening before my eyes is fake! How many days has it been? Only three days? Three days ago, when he set out from Yangzhou to Liangzhou, the plot was still at the stage where a group of scholars were causing trouble and Prefect Liu was overwhelmed; how in the blink of an eye did he become the master of this group of people? He knew how arrogant these scholars were. In three days, he won them over?

"We earnestly beg Your Highness the Third Prince!"

"We earnestly beg..."

Boom!

Xie Ling finally admitted that everything before his eyes was real.

Struck by lightning!

Dizzied and dazed.

"No, no, no..."

"This is impossible, this is impossible!"

Xie Ling acted like a madman, and suddenly his whole body shuddered.

Opening an academy and establishing a school...

Creating a school of thought.

Wrong...

If this is the case, won't this scholar's tragedy just pass like this? And the Yinzhou Coin... He suddenly shuddered all over, turned around, and ran: "Quick, quick, quick, return to Yangzhou, get me back to Yangzhou!"

"Stamp out all these firecrackers!"

"Stamp them out!"

However.

It was already too late for him to return to Yangzhou at this time.

As a piece of news spread, the entire Longyan Dynasty was shocked.

Prefect Liu will establish Liangzhou Academy, supported by the Four Great Academies and backed by scholars of the world.

Establishing an academy, creating Heart Learning.

Scholars of the world call him Master in unison.

Once this news came out.

Longyan.

Liangzhou.

Yinzhou.

Yinzhou Coin.

All boiled over at the same time.

Who would have known.

Xie Ling was still on his way back to Yangzhou.

Another explosive piece of news arrived.

Longyang Princess, Xie Chan has woken up.

It is heard that Xie Ling, while in the horse carriage, spat out a pound of blood on the spot.

Yinzhou Coin.

Rose like crazy.

With no ceiling in sight.
