Dong Qing listened to my words without saying a word, and after a long while, he stood up suddenly, grabbed the sword on the wooden table, and said to me: "Thank you Bi Gongzi for mentioning it, I have been taught here!" After saying that, he turned around and left, and disappeared in front of me and Yue'er in the blink of an eye.

Looking at his departing back, Yue'er timidly pulled the corner of my clothes and asked softly, "Brother Bi, is he gone?" ”

"Gone." I feel like I'm about to collapse, I think I thought it was funny when I watched Lu Xiucai in "Wulin Gaiden" and said that Ji Wusheng was dead with a three-inch tongue, but now I know that knowledge is really strength.

As soon as Dong Qing left, Yue'er and I turned around and returned to our dining table and began to eat, saying that we were hungry for a long time.

After a while, the bottom of the food plate in front of the two of us was already at the bottom, and after settling the bill, I got up with Yue'er and walked out of the restaurant.

After a morning of shopping, I don't know where I am in the capital, but we still have a mouth under our noses, we can't find a place to ask, I casually pulled a pedestrian and asked him where the Qingfeng Inn is, the Qingfeng Inn is not far from Bifu, and finding the Qingfeng Inn is equivalent to finding a home, the man waved his hand at me and said I don't know the road, I don't give up, and pulled another pedestrian, but unfortunately the answer is still not the road, I pulled a few people in a row, and the answer was the same, When I asked like this, people thought I was insane.

As soon as my mind turned around, I asked the disciples of the beggar gang to inquire about it, wouldn't I know the Tao? I didn't say a word, I pulled Yue'er and walked towards the corners on both sides of the market, I thought that in the corner of the wall there would be a few beggar gang disciples in tattered clothes, but who knew that I looked for a few corners and didn't see a single beggar gang member, hey, what day is it? Is it the first day of work for the chengguan?

Just when my face was full of depression and my heart was entangled, Yue'er gently pulled the corner of my clothes, raised her hand and pointed to the front and whispered, "Brother Bi, look ......." ”

I followed her finger and looked over, only to see a familiar figure sitting in an open-air tea stall not far in front of us, drinking tea.

"Senior Mo......." When I saw it, I immediately shouted loudly, took Yue'er's hand and hurriedly ran over.

Mo Lu looked up and saw that it was me, and he also stood up: "Master Bi, Miss Yue'er, why are you here?" ”

"What else," I took Yue'er's hand and sat at the table with a big grin, "I've been reading hard at home for the past few days, and today I had the heart to go out for a walk, I was going to go back after lunch, but who knew that Lu Dao was lost, and I was about to ask someone to ask about it, and I saw Senior Mo, by the way, I heard Yue'er say, these days Senior Mo is inquiring with Cao Quan about the "Beautiful Scenery of the Mountains and Rivers" I painted, is there any news?" ”

As soon as Mo Lu heard my question, he immediately shook his head and sighed, "I haven't found it yet." ”

"If you don't find it, forget it." I said indifferently: "Isn't it just an ink painting, if Yuqiong likes it, I'll paint another one, whether it can be painted the same is not certain, but I will definitely be able to paint better, you say right, Yue'er." As I spoke, I deliberately turned my head to ask Yue'er beside me.

"Yes!" As soon as Yue'er raised her head, her little face showed a little stubbornness.

I smiled and was noncommittal.

Mo Lu sighed again and said softly: "Originally, I thought the same, but a few days ago, I heard what Cao Quan said about what Miss Yuqiong said to him, so I couldn't help but be cautious...... He sighed again.

Without waiting for me to ask, Mo Lu told Yuqiong to Cao Quan's words again, it turned out that Yuqiong was afraid that the painting would cause trouble, since ancient times, emperors have been resentful of those who peep at the country, as long as there is a wind and grass, they will immediately hunt down, not to mention the princes and ministers, even if they are brothers and sisters, although the "beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains" I painted is just a landscape painting, but in the eyes of the emperor it is not so simple, Yuqiong is afraid that if the emperor knows about it, he will track it down, Not to mention that my life is difficult to protect, and it may affect innocent people, this is like a time bomb, which may explode at any time, so Mo Lu and Cao Quan have been asking outside for the past few days.

Originally, I didn't think about it, but when I heard Mo Lu say this, I couldn't help but be scared out of a cold sweat, I'm going to die!

"Find, you have to find it quickly, tomorrow...... Uh-no, this afternoon...... Uh, no, from now on, I'm going to look for it with you, I painted that picture, I know it. "I'm a little out of words.

"Cao Quan and I have been looking for nine out of ten in this capital, Bi Gongzi doesn't need to worry, we will continue to investigate." Mo Lu said.

"That'...... All right. "I was a little distracted.

Mo Lu didn't say much, drank all the tea in front of him, got up and paid the bill, and followed me and Yue'er in the direction of Bifu, the road was not very far, but it was very tortuous, and the three of us returned home in a short time.

As soon as I got home, the four heroes of the capital shouted at me, saying that they were hungry and no one cooked, I smiled at the four of them, and deliberately said: "Aren't you all knights of the rivers and lakes, and the knights of the rivers and lakes can't even cook?" ”

When the four of them heard me say this, they all lowered their heads instantly, and they seemed to be even more ashamed to look at the appearance of the black peony.

Yue'er was understanding, turned around and went to get them food, Black Peony rushed to the kitchen with a busy look, and the remaining three people were also ashamed, and turned around and left.

As soon as a few people left, only me and Mo Lu were left in the hall, to be honest, I didn't feel very at ease in reading these days, after all, I was still thinking about Situ Hong and Xiaodouzi hiding in the palace, so I couldn't help but ask Mo Lu, "Senior Mo, is there any news of Situ Hong and Xiaodouzi these days?" Didn't Liu Shuyi send someone to deliver a message......? ”

When Mo Lu heard me suddenly ask about Situ Hong, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and shook his head blankly: "No." ”

I looked at Mo Lu with some puzzlement, and at a glance, I saw the small square jade plate tied to his waist, and my heart couldn't help but move, it seems that Mo Lu is still as deep as before for the Ruhua in his heart, but I don't know if he still has the same feelings in his Ruhua heart.

After Mo Lu and I sat for a while, Cao Quan also returned, and as soon as Cao Quan walked into the hall and saw me, he hurriedly bowed his hand to me, and I smiled and asked him to sit down.

Cao Quan originally planned to tell Mo Lu about the painting, but when he saw that I was also there, he didn't hide it and said, I listened quietly and didn't intervene, and after a while, I understood what he meant, and he didn't find it.

Cao Quan couldn't help but sigh as soon as he finished speaking, and Mo Lu was also slightly disappointed, and I was the only one among the three who was not happy or sad, and I couldn't see anything to worry about.

Cao Quan looked up at me, clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, Bi Gongzi, I will definitely find the "Beautiful Scenery of the Rivers and Mountains" in the future." ”

"Good...... All right. I nodded randomly, but I was thinking in my heart that the painting I painted would really be worth it if it could really make the emperor angry, and a painting of an ordinary scholar of mine could make the emperor frightened, how to say it, the grasshopper shakes the tree, uh...... No, the mantis arm is a car, uh...... It's not right, anyway, it means that with my humble status, it can be regarded as a success if I can make the emperor pay attention to it.

After half a cup of tea, Cao Quan and Mo Lu said that they would go out again to find out, got up and left, I was also a little bored, so I turned around and went back to the study to continue reading, after all, the imperial examination is approaching, and it is always impossible not to touch the books.

I spent the whole afternoon hiding in the study, and Yue'er occasionally brought me pastries and soups, and I was very comfortable eating while reading.

It wasn't until sunset that I walked out of the study slowly.
