Chapter Twenty-Five: The First Painter of the Heguo

After going to Chu Mansion, Xia Guang's whole person was a lot refreshed, and the only regret was that his plan to go to Quyang City today seemed to have been broken. A few people were afraid that they would startle the horse, so they temporarily handed the horse over to someone else's care, and after taking the horse back, they rushed to the Chuyun River. They decided to wait a little longer by the river, and if there were no boats, they would have to leave the beauty and Mercedes in the old inn, and then try to get them over later.

After staying for a while, when they were about to go back, they saw a ship coming from somewhere else, with a large hull, and it was a cargo ship like the ship in Chufu.

"It's not in vain to wait for so long." Jun sighed gloomily.

"Well, we've got to figure out a way for them to give us a ride." Xia Guang rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

Xia Guang and the others followed the ship, and after walking for a long time, they saw a small wharf, which was usually a wharf for small merchants and small households.

"Alas, we are very lucky, there will be merchants on the other side of the river to deliver goods, when I asked those shippers before, they also said that this kind of cargo ships will only deliver goods on the first day of each month, it seems that it can't help it." Jun said gloomily.

Feng Zhumo felt a little suspicious.

The ship had already come ashore, and after a while, the people on board also came down one after another. Feng Zhumo took the initiative to step forward and ask some questions with one of the people who seemed to be in charge.

Xia Guang thought that he was going to ask what time the ship would depart, so he didn't care.

"Tsk, this Senior Brother Feng usually doesn't talk to him, but it's very positive at this time." Jun nodded gloomily and said to Xia Guang.

"I don't understand what he thinks on weekdays." Xia Guang glanced at Jun and said, leading Mercedes-Benz to Feng Zhumo's side.

Feng Zhumo glanced at Xia Guang and immediately changed the topic, "When will your ship leave for back?" ”

The steward of the ship said, "When the cargo is unloaded, you will leave, why do you want to take the ship?" ”

"Well, three men, two horses." Feng Zhumo said, and then stuffed some silver taels to the person in charge. "Don't tell you what I asked you just now."

"Okay, fine, no problem." The shipkeeper weighed the weight in his hand, nodded several times, and said happily.

"Senior brother, how's it going?" Xia Guang asked.

"I've already told the steward that when the time comes, I'll take us back with us after unloading." Feng Zhumo replied.

"Well, what did you just give that steward?" Xia Guang's eyes glanced at the hand in charge a few times.

"Do you really think it's in passing?" Feng Zhumo gave him a stupid look.

"Oh." The tone was a little longer, nodded noncommittally, and then gently helped Mercedes smooth the hair.

After unloading, the steward has to check the accounts with those merchants before they can set off.

Two hours later, they finally boarded a boat bound for Quyang City.

Xia Guang stood on the board of the boat, looking in the direction of Quyang City, and a wave of excitement arose.

Inside the Eight Kings' Mansion

"Lord Qiqi, it has been arranged." One person said.

That person was standing in front of a collapse, and the person sitting on the collapse was Qu Lisheng.

Qu Lisheng looked at the kneeling people outside the room through the side window, and whispered, "That's good, go back and say thank you to your commander." ”

"Yes." The man made a gesture and withdrew.

"Hanguang, you come in." Qu Lisheng shouted.

The kneeling man outside the door stood up and walked in. It was a girl, combing delicate oaths, wearing delicate makeup, wearing complicated brocade clothes, but her expression was unusually indifferent, she walked in front of Qu Lisheng and prostrated herself, shouting: "Lord Wang"

"The emperor just issued a secret decree to let you enter the palace." Qu Lisheng was still looking outside, speaking casually.

Hanguang raised her head, with a surprised face, the one in the palace has always had no good looks for her, and has never taken the initiative to summon her, but today he would let her enter the palace, how could this not surprise her: "When will you enter the palace?" ”

"Let's go." Qu Lisheng said.

"Lord, have you said anything about it?" Hanguang's whole body broke out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't figure out what the emperor was looking for her.

"Hanguang, you have been in the palace for so many years, don't you know the emperor's temperament, he didn't allow me, how could he write something for me to know." Qu Lisheng said coldly.

"Hanguang doesn't dare." Hanguang hurriedly fell to the ground and said hurriedly.

"Go down, I'm tired." Qu Lisheng waved his sleeves and motioned for her to leave.

"Yes." Hanguang kowtowed twice in a row, stepped back, she clenched her hands, and looked in the direction of the palace, haven't you already investigated Qu Lisheng's incident back then, what do you want to do now?

When Xia Guang's feet stepped on land, she finally felt relieved, she didn't expect that she would be seasick. When she first got on the boat, she didn't feel anything, but as time went by, the boat swayed and undulated, causing her to vomit and feel dizzy. Fortunately, the person in charge was by his side at that time, he was experienced, and he could see her situation at a glance, and specially arranged for her to rest in the cabin, which was a little better.

Xia Guang was the first to get off the boat, because Jun Anran and Feng Zhumo were going to fetch the horse together, so she waited in place for a while. When she saw Jun Ran leading the horse down, she felt a little strange, "What about my senior brother?" ”

Jun Anran led two horses to her and froze, and then slowly went out of his arms to write a letter, Xia Guang looked at Jun Anran, Jun nodded gloomily, Xia Guang took the letter and read it.

"Senior sister, senior brother has something to deal with temporarily, and when he finishes dealing with it, he will come back to you. And along the way, you already owe me a hundred taels of silver, remember to pay it back. At the end, the word "do not read" is also written.

Xia Guang tightened the letter, crumpled it into a ball, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times, who will miss you, you iron rooster, stingy ghost.

Jun gloomily looked at Brother Guang's childish behavior, and secretly chuckled, he didn't expect Brother Guang to be so cute.

Xia Guang saw Jun smiling happily there, squinted his eyes and asked, "Isn't it funny?" ”

"No, I'm just wondering what we're going to do in the future?" Jun straightened up and looked into the distance, as if he was really worried about what he would eat and live in the future. However, this is indeed a problem, the capital of this country is every inch of land, and the money in Brother Guang's hand was given by Senior Brother Feng before, if you really want to spend a while here, it will be difficult.

"Gloomy, do you know why I came to Quyang City?" Xia Guang looked at the crowded dock and asked.

Jun shook her head blankly, she only knew that Xia Guang wanted to come to Quyang City, but she never asked why.

"Because there is a person named Xuanyuan Qingshui here." Xia Guang said with a sudden smile.

"Xuanyuan Qingshui?" Jun said ignorantly, always feeling as if the name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"The first painter of Heguo, Xuanyuan Qingshui." Xia Guang yearned.

"Brother Guang, you would travel thousands of miles to come to this capital for a man, I really admire you." As soon as she heard the name, she knew that it must be a man, Jun made fun of it, and then a figure appeared in her mind, and asked, "Brother Guang, is there anything related to Xuanyuan Qingshui and Xuanyuan Qinglong?" There is only one word difference between the two of their names. ”

It's a pity that Xia Guang didn't hear anything at this time, and was completely immersed in her fantasy after seeing Xuanyuan Qingshui. It is said that Mr. Shu said that Xuanyuan Qingshui's painting skills have reached the stage of being superb, and what he paints looks like is almost chaotic. He once drew a small caterpillar and put it on the ground, and threw a few chickens next to it, and in the end you can imagine. However, this first painter is really a bad taste, everyone paints flowers to attract butterflies and bees, so that they complement each other, he directly paints a worm, so that a few chickens are pecked. However, the more famous people are, the more bizarre they are.
