Chapter 31: Li Qiushui's Self-Portrait

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Chengping left Chongyang Palace with Yang Kang, and there was no delay along the way, Yang Kang's martial arts practice at this time was also considered to be an entry, so although he was younger, the hard work of rushing every day was nothing, and when Shen Chengping took Yang Kang to Zhongdu, not long after passing the city gate, he met a housekeeper in his forties with seven or eight guards to greet him.

was discovered as soon as he entered the city, Shen Chengping was also a little strange, this reaction was too fast, even if he got the news at the beginning, it was impossible to send someone to pick it up so quickly.

In fact, Wanyan Honglie had already calculated his days, and a few days ago, he had already arranged for people to wait near the gates of the Zhongdu, and once he found Shen Chengping, he immediately came to greet him, and at this time, the person sent by the housekeeper to report to Wanyan Honglie was probably just entering the Zhao Palace.

"I've seen the little prince, I've seen Shen Daochang!" The housekeeper should have been instructed and was quite respectful to Shen Chengping.

"Well, the sixth prince can also be regarded as a caring person!" Shen Chengping nodded, he used to be an emperor at this time, he also thought of the method used by Wanyan Honglie, it seems that he is really tight about Yang Kang's son, even if he is not his biological son, this is mostly because of Bao Xi's weak love house and Wu, so that Shen Chengping couldn't help but sigh, if Wanyan Honglie is in modern times, he is definitely a representative figure of a good Chinese man, but it's a pity that people are still thinking of Yang Tiexin in their hearts.

"The prince has prepared a banquet in the mansion to entertain the Taoist chief!" The housekeeper glanced at Yang Kang's ordinary, 'simple' Taoist robe in his eyes, and continued: "The Taoist chief has a tired journey, you can bathe and change clothes in the mansion first, the mansion has already been arranged!" ”

"Yes!" I saw that although the housekeeper said it to himself, but in fact it was for Yang Kang, Shen Chengping knew that this was common sense, after all, in the eyes of this housekeeper, although the Taoist priest in front of him said that he was the uncle of the little prince, he was almost the same as the gentleman invited by the house to teach, and they all served the palace, he was so respectful to Shen Chengping, or because of Wanyan Honglie's repeated explanations, the reason why Wanyan Honglie explained so much was mostly because of the rapid development of the power of Chongyang Palace, plus the worry about Qiu's martial arts, After all, when Qiu Chuji took Yang Kang away before, none of the entire palace guards noticed it, and if such a person was offended, he would have to open one eye when he fell asleep.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Shen Chengping soon arrived at the Zhao Palace, the magnificence of the Zhao Palace, which was several times stronger than the previous Zhou family in Fenzhou, but in Shen Chengping's eyes, it was nothing, after all, no matter how gorgeous it was, it was not as good as the palace, so when he looked at the palace, his expression was indifferent, but the housekeeper who had been looking at him and wanted to see something from it was surprised.

Let the housekeeper take Yang Kang back, Shen Chengping also washed away the dust along the way under the service of the palace maids, he was also used to being served, and there was nothing unnatural, but he did not change into the gorgeous clothes prepared by the palace, but changed his spare Taoist robes, and then under the guidance of the subordinates, he saw the six princes of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie.

Shen Chengping looked at this Wanyan Honglie, at this time he was only in his thirties, in his prime, his face was handsome and chic, and he was quite majestic, judging from his appearance, it was indeed good.

"Xiao Wang has seen Daoist Shen, Xiao'er Wanyan Kang has been taken care of by Daoist in the past few months, and now that the banquet is ready, I hope Daoist will not shirk." After Yan Honglie saw Shen Chengping, he was also surprised that he was so young, but then he greeted him very warmly.

"The prince is polite!" Shen Chengping didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "I heard earlier that Senior Brother Qiu accepted the little prince as an apprentice, and I and several senior brothers were also extremely surprised, but since he has entered my Quanzhen Sect, we naturally have to give us guidance." ”

When Shen Chengping spoke, he found that when Yan Honglie heard Shen Chengping mention Qiu Chuji, his expression was quite unnatural, and then he remembered that Wan Yan Honglie didn't have any good impression of Qiu Chuji, after all, he was seriously injured in the Song Kingdom, most of which was due to Qiu Chuji, and even if there was a chance, he probably wanted to kill Qiu Chuji.

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping no longer said Qiu Chuji, and instead asked, "But I don't know where Kang'er is at this time?" ”

"Well, Kang'er has been away from home for nearly a year, and his mother is worried about it, and she is pulling him to talk at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the banquet!" Wan Yan Honglie replied directly.

"Yes!" Shen Chengping nodded, and did not continue to ask deeply, but instead chatted about other things, and when the banquet was over, Shen Chengping said to Wanyan Honglie: "Poor Dao still has things to do next, so I won't bother here, I have a good conversation with the prince today, and I will definitely come to visit again in the future when I have time." ”

"Why is Daochang Shen in such a hurry, could it be that Xiao Wang is not well entertained?!" Wanyan Honglie said: "The Taoist has just come to Zhongdu, why don't you stay for a few more days to see how the scenery of my Zhongdu is?" ”

"The prince is polite!" Shen Chengping excused himself and said: "It's not because of the prince, but because I really have something important to do, it is related to my true teachers, and I can't delay time." ”

"Since that's the case, then Xiao Wang won't keep much!" After Yan Honglie heard Shen Chengping say this, he turned his head and ordered: "Steward Liu, bring the things up!" ”

Soon after, I saw that the housekeeper Liu came forward with a long golden silk nanmu wooden box, and Yan Honglie continued: "The Taoist chief is a person outside the square, Xiao Wang will not pollute the eyes of the Taoist chief with those yellow and white things, this scroll of painting was sent by the Western Xia Kingdom a few years ago, and it is said that it is a portrait painted by the concubine of Xia Huizong in the past, so how about handing it over to the Taoist chief for tasting?" ”

Just when Yan Honglie finished speaking, Steward Liu had already opened the wooden box and unfolded the scroll, but after Shen Chengping saw it, Mu Ran was stunned, but he wanted to excuse himself, but he took it back, but stood up and looked at it carefully.

This painting is a picture of a lady, the woman in the painting Shen Chengping does not know, but she is definitely a beauty, but the reason why Shen Chengping has to look at it carefully is not because the woman in this painting is extremely beautiful, but between the strokes of this painting, it is actually full of special martial arts charm, ethereal and natural, every stroke has a special rhythm, if it is not for Shen Chengping's spiritual realm artistic conception has reached the innate for many years, and he will not be aware of the special nature of this painting at all.

"This painting is definitely from the hands of a martial arts master, and his martial arts cultivation is not only beyond me, but also far above Wang Chongyang!" Shen Chengping made such a judgment in his heart, and then swept his gaze to the place where he fell, only to see the three words Li Qiushui mentioned on it, which made Shen Chengping stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this Li Qiushui is the Li Qiushui who was born in the Tianlong World and later went to Xixia to become a concubine?" ”

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping's heart moved, and he said directly: "I didn't expect the prince to know that I like Princess Li's paintings. After saying that, he accepted it generously.

"Hehe, it's good if the Taoist chief likes it!" Wanyan Honglie saw that Shen Chengping looked contemptuous at first, but after seeing this painting, he immediately changed his attitude, and finally accepted it directly without even a polite excuse, knowing that Shen Chengping really liked this gift, so he said: "Since the Taoist chief likes this person's paintings, then Xiao Wang will pay more attention in the future, and wait until the Taoist chief arrives next time, and then ask the Taoist to taste it together!" ”

"Then it will be annoying to the prince!" At this time, Shen Chengping guessed that most of this painting was left by Li Qiushui, and it should be Li Qiushui's self-portrait, just looking at the portrait, Shen Chengping knew that this Li Qiushui was really beautiful, Shen Chengping had seen all kinds of national colors in the world of laughter, and he couldn't help but feel amazing at this time, and thought of the plot of Tianlong Babu, Li Qiushui served as a princess in Western Xia, and also left a lot of free school kung fu in Western Xia.
