Chapter 606 Three Portraits
Qu Xiaobai took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
If even she panicked at this time, not only would Zixuzhuang suffer a great disaster, but Yang Ling would also suffer from the enemy.
"Don't think about yourselves. Since it's an old friend, I'll meet him, and he still owes me a promise, so it's time to find him to fulfill it. ”
Qu Xiaobai appeased a few words, and it happened that Luoluo came in with papaya stewed milk bird's nest, and when she saw Ah Si and Ah Liu, she was shocked for a moment, but she was also a person who had seen the wind and waves with Qu Xiaobai, so she quickly calmed down and bowed: "The fourth master is good, the sixth master is good." ”
After the salute, she brought the supper to the bed, "Madam, the sweet soup has been dried to the right temperature, you can use some now." ”
"Hmm." Qu Xiaobai took the bowl handed over by Luoluo.
Ah Si and Ah Liu were still blaming themselves, but after being interrupted by Luoluo, they forgot about the matter of blaming themselves, and they all looked at Qu Xiaobai in a daze, waiting for her to speak.
Qu Xiaobai scooped a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth, the fragrance of papaya milk spread in her mouth, and the appropriate sweetness made her mood slightly better.
Sweets can be pleasant, it seems.
Ah Si and Ah Liu glanced at each other. Neither dared to go out, nor did they dare to disturb Qu Xiaobai for supper, both of them were a little tormented.
After Qu Xiaobai took two bites, he said, "You two don't stand still, sit down and talk." I am now in this body, and it is difficult to sit, and you will bear more of the rudeness. ”
The two of them hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the little master's body is important." ”
Qu Xiaobai nodded, "I'm fine." There is no point in you leaving now, so sit down and talk about any other major discoveries you have made on this trip, and I should prepare in advance to deal with Lu Wu. ”
The two of them didn't plan to tell everything at first, after all, Qu Xiaobai's body was no longer suitable for the director, and besides, they didn't know that Qu Xiaobai knew Jiangnan very well at first. But now it seems that there is no need to keep it.
Before Ah Liu spoke, he still had some concerns, and he said: "Little master, I have taken a step forward, and I want to ask, why is the Lord not here?" At this time, how could he rest assured that the little housewife would go out alone? ”
It is true that he and Ah Si still have a lot of questions in their stomachs, but it is impossible to ask them all at once, so they can only pick the important ones first.
Qu Xiaobai replied lightly: "Your lord has other things, and he can't take care of us for a while, so we can only find a way to save ourselves." As for what he went to do, I am not in good spirits and can't answer you, so go back and ask Ah Wu, and he can answer you. Let's talk about Jiangnan. ”
Ah Wu also said: "You just hurry up, it's too late, wait for Lu Wu and Wei Gao to catch up, and then it's too late." ”
Ah Si and Ah Liu looked at Ah Wu's expressions with nervousness, and their hearts were even more suspended, and the two of them hurriedly told Qu Xiaobai everything they had found out about Jiangnan.
It turned out that after the two of them touched Jiangnan, they first sneaked into Lu Chong's palace.
The two of them have traveled north and south in the past, and even the Great Liang Dynasty has been to Kyoto many times, and the palace has also been touched in, after seeing the magnificence of the palace, they thought that there was no place to compare with the beauty of the palace, but this cognition was broken in Lu Chong's palace.
The luxury of the palace has never been seen, there are countless palaces and towers inside, strange flowers and plants are unheard of, the two of them sneaked in late at night, and they went around it for a long time, and they were confused. It wasn't until dawn that I couldn't get around.
But it was precisely because of this confusion that they found out an extremely shocking thing.
Among the many towers and palaces in the palace, it was a coincidence that the two of them went around into a solemn palace. There are no guards around the palace, and the flowers and trees outside have not been pruned, and they basically grow wildly, if they didn't know that they were in the Jingnan Palace, the two of them would have thought that they had gone to the mountain villa, but this villa was a bit majestic and mysterious.
After the two entered the main hall, a strange aroma hit the nose, like sandalwood, and it was actually very strange to have sandalwood in a place like the palace.
Sandalwood is an incense that seems to be used a lot in temples. For example, large households with a bit of weight use better and milder incense, such as floral incense, such as incense.
The two of them felt strange, but because there were heavy guards outside, they were not allowed to leave the road at that time, so they could only hide in the main hall until dark before making plans.
The two hid under a Buddhist shrine.
Yes, the shrine. This majestic temple is actually a Buddhist hall.
It is understandable to build a Buddhist hall in the palace, after all, it is said that King Jingnan is a devout Buddhist believer.
The Buddha shrine is very large, the space at the bottom is five feet square, after hiding in, the two people found that there is a small bronze statue in the space below, the bronze statue is enshrined in front of the ever-bright fire and fruits, the bronze statue has dragon eyes and tiger eyes, the shape is very unique, but the top of the head is combing the hair bun of the Taoist.
Buddha and Tao? The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Although it is said that Buddhism and Taoism can coexist peacefully and develop separately, in any case, they also belong to two sects, and there are Taoist Buddha statues in this Buddhist shrine, what is going on?
Both were puzzled.
The base of the Taoist altar is a bronze platform, with a copper box embedded in it, and the copper box is locked.
In the end, Ah Liu found a silver-haired hairpin in the hall, picked the lock cylinder, and opened the copper box.
Later, when the two of them recalled the incident, they were also suspicious of the not gorgeous woman's hairpin that they picked up behind the curtain.
Is it the maid in the house?
Looks like it should be.
However, the maid who can enter such an important place is not an ordinary maid, right?
In the end, neither of them came to any conclusions. At that time, something even more terrifying happened, so that neither of them thought about the silver hairpin.
At that time, Ah Liu opened the drawer, and there were three scrolls of paintings inside.
The painting scroll is not long, only more than a foot, Ah Liu untied the silk thread that tied the painting scroll, opened one of the painting scrolls, and couldn't help but be surprised. The picture is a person, and this person, they know.
It's Mu Nanyun.
Ah Si hurriedly picked up another scroll, but saw that it was a beautiful woman painted on it. Even if the painting skills are not exquisite, you can see that the beauty is the best in the world.
It's a stunning color they've never seen before.
Ah Si sighed at that time, such a beauty must be a fairy in the sky.
Ah Liu said in a deep voice, I am afraid that today's five princesses also have such a stunning appearance, but it is a pity that when I entered the palace that year, I couldn't see the five princesses. Later, the five princesses arrived in Nanping, but they were not summoned and could not go to have a look.
The two of them didn't argue at the time, and finally, they opened the last painting together.
When Qu Xiaobai heard this, she actually had a trace of doubt and a trace of nervousness in her heart, she could almost guess who the person in the last painting was, it stands to reason that she should be shocked, but the emotions in her heart were unexpectedly not so strong.
"That'...... Who is depicted in this final portrait? ”
Qu Xiaobai asked.
Ah Si and Ah Liu stared straight at her, and for a long time, they didn't speak.
Qu Xiaobai understood who the person in this painting was.
And what she guessed, there should be nothing wrong.
After a while, Ah Si said: "Little master, the woman in the painting is you." We were shocked at the time, but now that we think about it, or, this painting was painted by Lu Wu? Then it won't be so shocking, after all, Lu Wu has seen you. ”
Whether it was painted by Lu Wu, or by Wei Gao or someone else, if it was a portrait of her alone, it would not be strange, but the portrait of her and Mu Nanyun and Lu Xiaoxiao appeared under the same confession, which is very intriguing.
It seems that Jiangnan, Jiangnan, is really the time to go. It's a pity that she doesn't necessarily have the life to go......
Qu Xiaobai didn't say much, just said, "Maybe." I fought with Lu Wu several times, and the Liang Zi that I formed has no possibility of resolving it for a long time, and it is not impossible for him to paint a portrait of me, and it is not impossible to curse at my portrait every day. ”
Ah Si and Ah Liu: "......" The sixth son of King Jingnan, would he do such a boring thing?
But they really can't think of any other explanation.
Ah Si pondered: "Little master, even if your portrait appears there to explain, what is the special meaning of appearing with the portrait of Mu Nanyun and that stunning woman?" Who is that beautiful woman? ”
Although Ah Si and Ah Liu now feel that Qu Xiaobai's explanation is a little credible, the doubts in their hearts have not been dispelled, and in their hearts, they are still afraid that there may be some major conspiracy behind it.
On the other hand, Qu Xiaobai is too calm and seems to be ...... Everything was as she expected.
It's ...... It always feels inappropriate.
Qu Xiaobai said lightly: "I haven't seen the portrait, how do I know who that woman is?" I haven't been to Jiangnan either, so how do I know what Jingnan Wangfu is doing with our portraits? ”
The "offering" of her son by her said successfully caused Ah Si and Ah Liu to laugh. Even Ah Wu, who was sitting on the side, smiled.
In terms of the ability to make fun in suffering, who is as good as the little housewife? On the ability to laugh at the wind and clouds, who is worthy of the little housewife?
"Little master, we stole the portrait back, look at it, do you recognize the woman on the painting."
Ah Liu said, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, the oiled paper bag wrapped several layers, opened layer by layer, like peeling an onion, after opening the last layer of the oiled paper bag, revealing three scrolls.
The scrolls were well protected and didn't get wet even a little bit even after a day of rain.
Ah Si took one of them and opened it, and handed it to Qu Xiaobai, "Little master, look, this is the portrait of General Mu Xiao, right?" ”
