Shao Qing looked at the guard who was delivering the message; "It can be confirmed that the information is true."
"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."
Receiving an affirmative answer, Shao Qing hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and walked towards Xu Baizhi's study.
……
Although it was late at night, the lights in the study were still on, indicating that the owner of the study had not rested.
"Master." Shao Qing called in a low voice.
A moment later, Xu Baizhi's calm voice came from the room; "Come in."
Under the warm yellow candlelight, Xu Baizhi's long figure stood by the painting, but the pen in his hand did not fall on the painting for a long time.
Seeing the beauty he painted on it, Shao Qing had some guesses in his heart.
He said solemnly; "Master, the third prince has come back safely, and it is with Miss Si."
Xu Baizhi's hand holding the pen paused, a drop of ink dripped onto the painting, and a thick black ink stain appeared on it, and he lowered the pen in his hand with a frown;
"Has the news been confirmed? Can it be true? ”
"It's our people who see it with their own eyes." Shao Qing bowed his head and replied.
Xu Baizhi stared at the painting fixedly, his voice low; "I didn't expect ......"
Si Jichen and Jun Mowen came back together, and it is very likely that Si Jichen has already sided with the three princes, so ...... The balance between the DPRK and China is dangerous.
If you force the eldest prince to jump over the wall, it will be really difficult.
Looking carefully at the woman on his painting, thinking that the woman was standing on Jun Mowen's side, Xu Baizhi felt a trace of inexplicable dullness in his heart.
Shao Qing saw that the master was staring at the portrait of Si Jichen, sighed for the master in his heart, and stepped forward; "What is the master's plan?"
Xu Baizhi closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already clear and wise; "Let's wait and see what happens."
He picked up the painting on the desk with one hand; "It's a pity that it ruined one of my paintings."
Shao Qing also looked at the painting, the woman in the painting was slender and slender, a snow-colored dress was pure and elegant, looking elegant like a fairy, and then looking up, the woman's face in the painting was blank.
He knew that Xu Baizhi was painting Si Jichen. The reason why he didn't paint his face was because the master had never seen Si Jichen's true appearance.
They also found out the identity of Si Jichen, including the portrait painted by the artist. It's just that Xu Baizhi feels that the portrait is beautiful, and he is finally missing the distraction, since he didn't see Si Jichen's face with his own eyes, he won't write hastily.
Seeing Shao Qing's expression of resentment for him, Xu Baizhi smiled and scolded; "What do you miss me again? I'm just tired of painting flowers and birds, and now I'm painting beautiful women as a pastime on weekdays. ”
Shao Qing didn't speak, but he was secretly worried in his heart; There are so many beautiful ladies in Kyoto, so why do you want to paint her alone?
Xu Baizhi put away the painting and turned to Shaoqing Road; "Shaoqing, there are many noble girls in Kyoto, but who can match her. There are few people who can see it, and the woman who can make people look at it is only this one now. ”
……
Since Jun Mowen and his party are equipped with good horses, the trip is naturally much faster than when they came. After a few days of traveling, tonight, they finally returned to Yi'an.
This time, Jun Mowen deliberately hid his whereabouts, so the Three Princes' Mansion was just closed to greet guests, but there was no rumor that the gentleman was not in the mansion. But the gentleman knew that these could only be concealed from ordinary people, and it was estimated that at the moment they entered the city, the dark lines of each family had already gone to report to their respective masters.
A few elegant big characters in the Three Princes' Mansion were hung high in front of the mansion, and Si Jichen looked a little distracted, but he didn't expect that after these days, he would go around and return here.
Just as she was sighing secretly, a hand helped her from behind, and Jun Mo asked softly; "Regret it?"
Regret? Si Jichen shook his head, although he wanted to leave here before, but after going around most of the circle and returning here again, Si Jichen couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind and belonging. So, she didn't regret coming back, at least...... It doesn't feel bad these days.
