Although the announcement of the finalists of the Immortal Painting Contest caused a sensation in the Spring Equinox City for a while, it was a few days later that a more eye-catching event attracted people's attention.

That thing is that the second prince of the Painted Rain Empire, Huazhu, came to the Spring Equinox City.

Painting bamboo Lu Shuangyang has also seen it, in the woods near Gu Yucheng before, after dealing with the vine dragon snake, he appeared in front of Lu Shuangyang, and he was the one who took the vine dragon snake away.

Lu Shuangyang also wondered why so many people went to the direction of the city gate that day, it turned out that he was going to greet the prince of Huazhu.

For the arrival of the painted bamboo, Lu Shuangyang has a lot of ideas, because of the holding of the painting fairy competition, and the intervention of the heavenly thieves, the current situation of the spring equinox city is already chaotic enough, I didn't expect that now the painting bamboo is also here to mix, this spring equinox city, what will it become?

"In that case," Lu Shuangyang suddenly remembered something, "Let's just go and meet this painting bamboo at this time." ”

In Lu Shuangyang's space bracelet, there is a jade-colored token, which was given to him by Huazhu in the woods near Gu Yucheng before, saying that he could use this token to meet him.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, since Huazhu is now in the spring equinox city, let's go find him.

"Where are you going?" Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei were in the same room, and seeing that Lu Shuangyang was going out, Qin Yunfei also asked.

Lu Shuangyang said: "Go see a friend." ”

"Do you have any friends in the city?" Qin Yunfei said suspiciously.

"Do you want to come along?" Lu Shuangyang didn't mind that Qin Yunfei would go with him to see Huazhu.

"No, I'll take a break. Qin Yunfei said.

"Then I'm out. ”

......

The equinox city is very large and there are many hotels, but it is not difficult to find the hotel where the bamboo is located.

Among the many hotels, some of the hotels are officially invested, and these officially invested hotels have some luxurious rooms, no matter how overcrowded, they will never be given to ordinary people, even if no one lives in them for a long time, they will come to clean every day, because these rooms are specially for the royal family from the imperial capital.

Where Huazhu lives, it is easy to find, after all, from entering the city to the place where Huazhu lives, there are people watching the whole process, and I came here after a little asking.

I have to say that it is worthy of the place where the prince lives, and there are a bunch of majestic guards guarding the door.

As soon as Lu Shuangyang walked to the door, he was blocked by two guards.

"This is the residence of the Painted Bamboo Prince, and all the people who live here are registered, you are a fresh face, what are you doing here?" the two guards who stopped Lu Shuangyang said coldly.

These two people, each of whose strength has reached the seventh level of cultivation, is worthy of being the prince's guard, with such a guard guarding, unless it is the third day order or the top master of the second order, otherwise do not want to break into it and hurt the prince of the painting bamboo.

"Well, I am a friend of your prince, and I heard that he is coming, so I came to meet him. Lu Shuangyang was polite and authentic.

"Why do you say that you are a friend of the prince. "Since the painting bamboo lived here, people came to visit the prince every day, and each of them said that they were friends with the prince, but in the end, all of them proved to be just nonsense to be able to see the prince of the painting bamboo, and they were all driven away by the guards, and the road in front of him, the guards regarded him as peace

The same bunch of people from before.

"I don't know, can this be proven?" Lu Shuangyang handed out the jade-colored token.

When the two guards saw the token, their eyes were also surprised: "This prince's jade bamboo token?!How do you have this?"

Lu Shuangyang said lightly: "Of course it was given to me by your prince, how about it? ”

As the prince's guard, they can be sure that this token will not be fake: "It's really rude, I don't know what Your Excellency's name is, I'll go in and report it." ”

"The more flying. This name is the name that Lu Shuangyang used when he saw the painted bamboo, and when he came to see the painted bamboo at this time, he naturally had to use the previous name.

"Okay, Yue Gongzi, please wait, I'll report immediately. One of the guards went in quickly.

After a few minutes, the guard came out, and he said respectfully to Lu Shuangyang, "The prince asks Prince Yue to go upstairs for a while." ”

With that, he made way for Shuangyang to enter.

After entering, another guard took Lu Shuangyang to the room where Huazhu was, the door of this room looked similar to that of other rooms, if it wasn't for someone to lead Lu Shuangyang, he really didn't believe that the prince lived in this room.

"You guys go down first, I'll talk to Brother Yue alone. "The sound of bamboo painting came from inside.

The guard who led Lu Shuangyang over also retreated, and Lu Shuangyang also pushed the door in.

In the room, it looked ordinary from the outside of the door, and it was also very ordinary inside, compared to it, Lu Shuangyang felt that the room where he and Qin Yunfei lived was a little bigger.

At the coffee table, a painted bamboo in a pale blue shirt was making tea seriously.

Lu Shuangyang came in, Huazhu glanced up at Lu Shuangyang, and then said embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, wait until I make this pot of tea." ”

Lu Shuangyang smiled and nodded, and sat down on the other side of the coffee table.

After a good operation of painting bamboo, a pot of hot tea was finally brewed, and painting bamboo filled a cup for Lu Shuangyang and a cup for himself.

Lu Shuangyang took the teacup, tasted it gently, and then exclaimed: "Good tea, completely infiltrate the fragrance of tea into the tea, making the tea fragrant and strong." ”

Huazhu chuckled and said: "Brother Yue praised it, it didn't take long for me to learn to make tea, and I was praised by Brother Yue." ”

Lu Shuangyang said with a smile: "If it is really just a short time of learning, but you can reach this level, then you have to say that the Bamboo Emperor is very talented in this regard." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," Huazhu shook his head modestly, "Why is Brother Yue in this spring equinox city? ”

Lu Shuangyang said with a smile: "I heard that there is going to be a painting immortal competition here, I, this person likes to join in the fun, so let's take a look." It's the Bamboo Prince, why did you come here?"

Lu Shuangyang didn't lie, he did come here to join in the fun and want to see this painting immortal competition, as for the matter of the thief, it was purely nosy.

"Me? My reasons are probably similar to yours, I've been in the palace for a long time, and I want to come out to breathe, and it just so happens that this spring equinox city is holding a painting fairy competition, so I'm coming here. Huazhu also smiled.

Lu Shuangyang looked at Huazhu's smile, although his smile was very

sincere, but Lu Shuangyang was still keenly aware of a trace of solemnity in Huazhu's expression.

"He shouldn't have meant anything to me, but he seems to be hiding something. Lu Shuangyang guessed.

"Brother Yue, I would like to remind you here, you still have to be careful in this equinox city, after all, there are many people gathered here now, although Brother Yue is skilled, but you still have to be careful not to offend anyone. Huazhu was reminding Lu Shuangyang of something, but he didn't say it explicitly...... The reason why Huazhu reminded Lu Shuangyang so much was because he saw Lu Shuangyang's means of defeating the vine dragon snake in the forest that day, although Lu Shuangyang, that is, Yue Feiyang, was just a nameless junior, but judging from the strength he showed, he was a very powerful young man, and he would definitely be able to break out of the world in the second step in the future, and have a good relationship with such a future master, and he would have many helpers in trouble in the future.

Lu Shuangyang can naturally think of the reason why Huazhu is friendly with him, but Lu Shuangyang is also happy to be good friends with him, after all, the second step is the rivers and lakes of the empire, and it is convenient for him to walk on the second step in the future by making more friends with some princes in the empire.

"I don't know if the prince has heard that the entries for the previous painting immortal contest were stolen?" Lu Shuangyang tried to explore the tunnel.

"Is that really the case?" Huazhu was also slightly taken aback.

Lu Shuangyang saw that Huazhu's surprised expression was not fake, but Lu Shuangyang felt that it was not that Huazhu knew about it, but that he didn't expect Lu Shuangyang to know about it.

Lu Shuangyang said: "This is just gossip, and I'm not sure, but I heard that the stolen paintings were sent back." ”

"That's good," Hua Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "I wonder what Brother Yue thinks of this news?"

Lu Shuangyang said with a serious face: "Although I can't confirm the accuracy of this news, I think at least it is not groundless, maybe there are some mistakes and omissions in the news, but eight or nine are not far from ten, maybe someone is really doing tricks in the painting immortal competition." ”

Huazhu nodded: "If that's the case, it's not good, I, as the prince and an official of the empire, can't stand idly by and watch this matter, I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter, and I must not let the Painting Immortal Contest have an accident." ”

"Then it's troublesome to draw the Bamboo Prince. ”

After talking about this "business", Lu Shuangyang began to chat with the prince of Huazhu about something else, and they chatted for a long time, and even drank several pots of tea before Lu Shuangyang got up to leave.

"Brother Yue, if there is really anything at that time, I hope Brother Yue can help. ”

"Where the prince can use me, you must call me......"

After some temptation just now, Lu Shuangyang probably has a clear idea of the purpose of Huazhu coming here, and Huazhu should be the person in charge of the official investigation into the theft of the works of the Painting Immortal Competition.

Since he is an official person, Lu Shuangyang doesn't mind cooperating with them, after all, he is an official person, and there are more people.

After Lu Shuangyang left, Huazhu called a guard and asked, "How happened to the things that asked you to investigate before?"

The guard said: "It's been investigated, although the official didn't say anything about the work being targeted, but after all, there are a lot of people in the Spring Equinox City now, and it can't be ruled out that someone has seen something, so some gossip has spread the matter." ”

"Really, why did I get into such a troublesome matter?"

Painting bamboo is a resentful authenticity.
