Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 31 Li Qiushui's Self-Portrait

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Chengping took Yang Kang out of Chongyang Palace, and there was no delay along the way. Yang Kang's martial arts training can be regarded as an introduction at this time, so even though he is younger, the hard work of traveling every day is nothing. Yes, when Shen Chengping brought Yang Kang to Zhongdu, not long after passing the city gate, he met a butler in his forties leading seven or eight guards to greet him.

Shen Chengping was a little surprised when he was discovered just after entering the city, the reaction was too fast, even if he got the news from the beginning, it was impossible to send someone to pick him up so soon.

In fact, Wanyan Honglie has already made plans for the day. A few days ago, he has arranged for people to wait near the gates of the central capital. Once he finds Shen Chengping, he will immediately come to greet him. At this time, the person sent by the housekeeper to report to Wanyan Honglie is probably no more than Just entered Zhao Wangfu.

"I've seen the little prince, I've seen Daoist Shen!" The butler should have received the order, and he was quite respectful to Shen Chengping.

"Well, the Sixth Prince can be regarded as a caring person!" Shen Chengping nodded. He who was once an emperor also thought of the method used by Wanyan Honglie at this moment. It seems that he is really precious to Yang Kang, even if it is not his son. The same is true for his biological son. This is probably because of Bao Xiruo's love for Wu and Wu. Shen Chengping couldn't help but sigh. If Wanyan Honglie came to modern times, he would definitely be a representative figure of a good man in China. It's just a pity that Bao Xiruo is still in his heart. Thinking of Yang Tiexin.

"My lord has already prepared a banquet at the mansion to entertain the Taoist priest!" The housekeeper took another look at Yang Kang's ordinary-looking robes, which in his eyes were regarded as 'rough' Taoist robes, and then said: "The Taoist priest is tired from the journey, so you can go to the palace first." Take a bath and change clothes, the family has already made arrangements!"

"En!" It can be seen that although the housekeeper said it to himself, it was actually for Yang Kang. Shen Chengping knew that this was common sense. , but it is similar to the gentleman invited by the mansion to teach, they all serve the palace. His respect to Shen Chengping is due to Wanyan Honglie's repeated confessions. In addition, he was worried about Qiu Chuji's martial arts. After all, when Qiu Chuji took Yang Kang away, none of the guards in the palace noticed. If such a person offended, he would open one eye when he fell asleep.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Shen Chengping soon arrived at Zhao Wang's Mansion. The splendor of Zhao Wang's Mansion was several times stronger than that of the previous Zhou family in Fenzhou, but in Shen Chengping's eyes, it was nothing. The splendor is not comparable to the palace, so when he looked at the palace, his expression was indifferent, which surprised the housekeeper who had been looking at his expression and wanted to see something from it.

Let the butler take Yang Kang back, and Shen Chengping also washed away the dust along the way under the service of the maid of the palace. He is also used to being served, and there is nothing unnatural, but he did not change into the one prepared by the palace. Instead, he changed into his spare Taoist robe, and then, under the guidance of his servants, he saw the sixth prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Honglie.

Shen Chengping took a look at this Wanyan Honglie, at this time he was only in his thirties, he was in his prime, his face was handsome and dignified, from the looks of it, he was indeed good.

"Xiao Wang has met Daoist Shen, and my son Wanyan Kang has been taken care of by the Taoist priest these few months. Now that the banquet is ready, I hope the Taoist priest will not refuse." After seeing Shen Chengping, Wanyan Honglie was also surprised that he was so Young, but immediately greeted him very warmly.

"My lord, you're being polite!" Shen Chengping didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "I heard that senior brother Qiu accepted the young lord as his apprentice, and several senior brothers and I were also very surprised, but since he joined my Quanzhen sect, I will naturally have to give pointers carefully."

When Shen Chengping was talking, he noticed that Wanyan Honglie's expression was a little unnatural when he heard Shen Chengping mention Qiu Chuji. Then he remembered that Wanyan Honglie didn't have any good impression of Qiu Chuji. After all, he was seriously injured in the Song Dynasty, and most of them were Thanks to Qiu Chuji's contribution, if he had the chance, he probably wished to kill Qiu Chuji.

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping stopped talking about Qiu Chuji, and asked instead: "But I don't know where Kang'er is at this time?"

"Well, Kang'er has been away from home for nearly a year, and his mother is very concerned about him. At this time, she is pulling him to talk, and I am afraid that he will not be able to attend the banquet!" Wanyan Honglie replied directly.

"En!" Shen Chengping nodded, and did not continue to ask further questions, but instead chatted about other things. When the banquet was over, Shen Chengping said to Wanyan Honglie: "Pindao still has things to do next, just Don't bother me here anymore, I had a very happy conversation with the prince today, and I will definitely visit again when I have time in the future."

"Why did Daoist Shen make such a hasty schedule? Could it be that Xiao Wang didn't entertain you well?!" Wanyan Honglie said, "Daoist priest came to Zhongdu for the first time, why not stay a few more days to see how the scenery in Zhongdu is?"

"My lord, you're being polite!" Shen Chengping declined, "It's not because of your lord, but because I really have something important to do, which is related to my Quanzhen teacher's elders, so I can't delay it."

"Since that's the case, then Xiao Wang won't keep it anymore!" Wanyan Honglie turned his head and ordered after hearing what Shen Chengping said: "Butler Liu, bring the things up!"

After a while, I saw Steward Liu coming forward with a long golden nanmu wooden box, Wanyan Honglie continued: "The Taoist priest is from outside, Xiao Wang will not use those yellow and white things Daoist Taoist's eyes are gone, this scroll of painting was sent by the Xixia Kingdom a few years ago, it is said that it is a portrait painted by Xia Huizong's concubine before, how about letting the Taoist priest taste it?"

Just as Wanyan Honglie was speaking, Butler Liu had already opened the wooden box and unfolded the scroll. After Shen Chengping read it, Mu Ran was taken aback. He took it back when he wanted to decline, but stood up and looked at it carefully. up.

This painting is a picture of a lady. Shen Chengping does not know the woman in the painting, but she is definitely a beauty. Between the strokes, there is actually a special charm of martial arts, ethereal and natural, and each stroke carries a special rhythm. If Shen Chengping's spiritual realm and artistic conception have not been innate for many years, he would not be able to perceive the meaning of this painting at all. special.

"This painting is definitely made by a master of martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation is not only superior to mine, but also far superior to Wang Chongyang!" Shen Chengping made such a judgment in his heart, and then signed with that gaze Sweeping around, I saw the words Li Qiushui on it, which made Shen Chengping even more surprised, and thought: "Could it be that this Li Qiushui is the Li Qiushui who came from the Xiaoyao School in Tianlong World, and later went to Xixia to become a concubine? "

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping's heart moved, and he said directly: "I didn't expect my lord to know that I like Princess Li's paintings. Since my lord is very kind, I will not refuse." After speaking, he accepted it generously.

"Hehe, as long as the Taoist priest likes it!" Wanyan Honglie saw that Shen Chengping's expression was contemptuous at first, but after seeing the painting, he immediately changed his attitude, and finally accepted it without any polite excuses. Knowing that Shen Chengping really liked this gift, he said: "Since the Taoist priest likes this person's paintings, Xiao Wang will pay more attention to it in the future. When the Taoist priest comes to the mansion next time, I will invite the Taoist priest to taste it together!"

"If that's the case, I'll trouble the lord!" At this time, Shen Chengping guessed that this painting was probably left by Li Qiushui, and it should be Li Qiushui's self-portrait. Just looking at the portrait, Shen Chengping knew that Li Qiushui was indeed extremely beautiful, Shen Chengping In the world of Xiaoao, I have seen all kinds of national colors, and I can't help but feel amazing at this time. I also think of the plot of Tianlongbabu. At this time, Tianlong is only more than a hundred years away. I think there should be some reservations, and there are some thoughts in my heart.
