Pingyuanjun's family lives in the city, next to it is a civilian residence, and the next door neighbor has a man surnamed Wang, who is slightly inconvenient to walk, is a cripple, and walks alone on weekdays, does not talk to people much, and only lives by being a blacksmith in his own hands.

When the cripple went out to fetch water, the beautiful concubine was watching Zhao Chengping compare various strange postures on the boudoir, and was amused to laugh. The cripple looked up and saw the beautiful concubine sitting on top of the tall building, looking down, and laughing back and forth.
The courtyard wall was so high and deep that the cripple couldn't see Zhao Chengping, and suddenly felt that the woman must be laughing at her disability.
The two people inside the high wall didn't know what was going on, and after doing two sets of radio gymnastics, Zhao Chengping decided to return to the studio and continue to paint portraits of the new visitors.
At this time, someone walked in at the door, and Zhao Chengping didn't raise his head: "Please wait a while, this one will be fine immediately." ”
"No hurry, no hurry."
The man looked carefully at some of Zhao Chengping's drawings hanging in the room in the house, and kept exclaiming: "It's wonderful, Mr. is really good." After Zhao Chengping finished the last stroke in his hand, he handed the portrait of the doorman to the doorman and asked him to hand it over to the archive by himself.
Zhao Chengping took out a snow-white sheepskin again, stretched it on the easel, and said to the man, "Please sit down, do you have any requirements for the portrait?" ”
"Sir, just look good."
Doesn't sound like a requirement? Zhao Chengping began to worry in his heart, generally people who didn't ask for it at the beginning, but there were a bunch of bad things in the back, and they were all drafted, how easy it was to change, he made up his mind, if this person made any requests after the painting, he would refuse.
While painting, the man also asked Zhao Chengping questions, what is the surname, what is the name, where is the family, how long has he been here, etc...... Zhao Chengping responded with a match, and soon the painting was completed.
When handing the painting to the man, Zhao Chengping mentioned the spirit of twelve, thinking about how to reject his opinion of changing this and that, but the man took the painting, but he was full of praise.
"Wonderful! Mr. is talented, just a charcoal pen, and his appearance and temperament are on the paper! ”
If he is indeed a good servant, it is better to ask him what his name is, and maybe he can be a friend in the future.
"I'm Wei Wuji."
"Oh, Wei Wuji...... What the? Wei Wuji? Zhao Chengping was dumbfounded, isn't this the name of Xinlingjun? Seeing Zhao Chengping's appearance, Xin Lingjun smiled: "What? ”
"It's nothing, the name of Xinling Jun, not only the Wei State, but also the corporal of the Zhao State are also known, and I am a little excited to finally see the deity." Zhao Chengping knew that in history, Xinlingjun had to stay with Zhao for ten years in order to save Zhao and then become enemies with King Wei, but that was after the Battle of Changping, and it seems that Xinlingjun is just an ordinary guest here now.
Xin Lingjun waved his hand: "Where is it, Wei and Zhao are already dependent on each other, if Zhao has something, how can Wei be fine." ”
Suddenly remembered a famous historical gossip, I don't know if the setting team added it, Zhao Chengping smiled: "I heard that there is a Longyang Jun in the Wei Palace, very handsome?" ”
"It's really magnificent, and she looks like a good woman."
"Then does King Wei prefer him, or does he prefer Ruji?"
Wei Wuji shook his head: "The ministers don't discuss the affairs of the king's harem. ”
Well,I originally wanted to use this setting to ask if the girl in the setting group was a rotten girl.。
Zhao Chengping handed the portrait to Wei Wuji, and said, "Is there already two virtuous talents under Xinling Jun, Mao Gong and Xue Gong?" ”
Wei Wuji nodded: "Yes." ”
"No wonder." I remember that in history, Xin Lingjun was complained by Pingyuan Jun that Xin Lingjun was a ridiculous person because of a bus trip with the gambler Mao Gong and the drunkard Xue, and Xin Lingjun almost turned his face with him and packed his luggage and left Zhao State. Pingyuanjun begged hard to leave this wife and brother behind, but after learning about this, more than half of the guests jumped ship and followed Xinlingjun.
Probably this is the reason why on that rainy day, Pingyuan-kun would personally drive to invite a gambling house guy like himself.
Zhao Chengping smiled: "I still have to thank Xinlingjun, if it weren't for Xinlingjun's good example, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enter Pingyuanjun's door." ”
Regarding how Zhao Chengping came, Wei Wuji naturally heard about it, he has many talents, but he is lacking a Danqing Holy Hand, he is here to see how Zhao Chengping's skills are.
Looking at his sketches, and looking at him just sitting here one after another for the portraits of other guests, Xin Lingjun sighed in his heart, this brother-in-law is really a waste of talent, if Mao Sui had not recommended himself, he would not have been able to use it for three years, and now this one is also ......
He sighed in his heart that Pingyuan Jun was really not a seeker, but just felt that the guests under his door had a lot of light on their faces.
"It's a pity that a talent like Mr. is just painted here." Xinlingjun couldn't help but speak.
Zhao Chengping smiled: "What, Xinlingjun wants to recruit me?" ”
"No, no, no, Wuji is just a momentary emotion, Mr. can do a bigger career."
"But what career can a painter have?" Zhao Chengping packed up the charcoal, it was getting late today, and he didn't want to paint anymore.
"After several years of conquest, the paths between the countries and the offensive and defensive facilities of each city have changed, and those who are kings and generals in the court will find that even if the city defense is defective, it will be too late. A person like Mr. who can completely move the real scene into the painting is exactly the kind of talent that countries need. ”
"Oh, patrol." Zhao Chengping was surprised, "I thought you were going to say that you could be sent to the king's palace to paint the palace secrets." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xin Lingjun was dumbfounded, it turned out that Zhao Chengping accidentally really said it.
When Xinlingjun was still in Wei, he was playing chess with the King of Wei, and when he heard that Zhao Bing was going to invade the northern border of Wei and raise a beacon fire, King Wei was so nervous that he wanted the minister to talk about how to fight with Zhao, but Xinlingjun said calmly: "King Zhao came out to hunt, what are you afraid of, play chess and play chess?" "King Wei was still nervous to death, and after a while, news came from the northern front, saying that King Zhao was really hunting, not going to fight.
King Wei asked him how he knew, and Xin Lingjun said that there were people among his guests who could find out about King Zhao's secrets, and that they would always inform me immediately of what King Zhao wanted to do.
But only King Wei knew about this matter, how could Zhao Chengping know?
Xin Lingjun turned around several times in his mind, and finally remembered that Zhao Chengping was more interested in the affairs of Long Yangjun and Ruji, maybe he was just casually talking.
"It's getting late, don't disturb Mr. to rest, and say goodbye." Xinling Jun bowed to the end and turned to leave.
Early the next morning, before Zhao Chengping got up, he was lying on the bed when he heard a servant talking outside.
"The cripple of the king from the east side is here."
"What for?"
"Say you're going to sue! Said that yesterday he went out to fetch water, and was loudly ridiculed by Mrs. Tsukihime upstairs, and he couldn't bear this insult, and asked Lord Plains-kun to kill Mrs. Tsukihime. ”
"Isn't it necessary to kill people for this? What do adults say? ”
"The adult didn't want to agree, but the cripple Wang just refused to give up, and after talking for a long time, the adult really had no choice but to agree to him."
Hearing this, Zhao Chengping jumped up from the bed, that Mrs. Yueji, can't it be the woman from yesterday? She was obviously laughing at herself, what did she have to do with that crippled king, and she wanted to kill him?
This is a great wrong, Zhao Chengping hurriedly put on his clothes, forgot to put on his shoes, and ran all the way to Pingyuanjun: "Adults can't kill Mrs. Yueji." ”
Pingyuan Jun looked at him calmly: "Hey, look at how you sweat, I just agreed casually, otherwise he won't leave because of the king's cripple." How could I kill my concubine because she laughed a few times? ”
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Chengping was relieved at this time, and then he realized that he didn't even wear shoes, and hurriedly ran back to put on shoes.
Ping Yuanjun looked at Zhao Chengping's distant back, revealing a thoughtful expression.
At noon that day, there were only half of the guests who were supposed to be gathered together, what happened today, and they all decided to lose weight and diet?
Zhao Chengping asked the others in confusion, only to hear a person next to him say: "Pingyuanjun promised the matter of the king's lameness, but he didn't believe his words, it can be seen that Pingyuanjun values women and despises scholars, and it is useless to stay by his side, I will leave in a while." ”
Zhao Chengping was a little speechless, what kind of brain circuit is this? For this little thing, the king cripple asked to kill, and the king of Pingyuan refused to kill, so he rose to the point of valuing beauty and despising people?
The thinking of people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is really impossible for people to keep up with.
"That'...... Killed? ”
"I haven't heard of it."
Zhao Chengping threw down the untouched food, and ran all the way to Pingyuanjun, who was about to order someone to pull Yueji out and behead hime.
"My lord, Mrs. Tsukihime was actually laughing at me that day, not at the king's cripple." Zhao Chengping hurriedly told the truth.
Pingyuan-kun nodded: "She already told me." ”
"You're going to kill her?"
"If you don't kill her, how can you convince the public?" Pingyuanjun lowered his head and sighed leisurely, "This matter is not related to Mr., if it weren't for Yuehime laughing upstairs that day, he wouldn't have been able to cause this murder." ”
"I understand that adults want to serve the public, but if adults ignore the facts and sacrifice the lives of others for the sake of serving the public, I dare not agree with such selfish thoughts!" Zhao Chengping got up and was about to leave, but it was a big deal to go to Changping by himself according to the original plan.
But I heard the plain gentleman behind me: "Because of the matter of Mao Gong Xue Gong that day, more than half of the guests abandoned me. Today, I really can't afford to lose this face again! ”
Zhao Chengping said: "If you don't want to, then I'll say it!" ”
Zhao Chengping went to Wang Cripple's house and invited him over.
He stood at the gate of the Plains Monarch's Mansion and said the truth of the matter loudly.
In school, Zhao Chengping has always been a person who does not like to express his opinions loudly in public places, and he has never participated in class speeches.
The huge psychological pressure made Zhao Chengping have no stage fright at all, he only had one thing in his heart, he couldn't let the innocent Yueji die because of his actions.
The words came from the heart, except for the first few sentences, he was a little nervous, and the more he said later, the more passionate he became, so that everyone present understood the truth, and also felt that he had to kill someone in order to laugh, which was really not done by a manly man.
Yueji escaped, Zhao Chengping felt as if a little bright spot floated from somewhere, and got into his arms, thinking it was a firefly, but he didn't look for it again, and he didn't pay attention to it at the moment.
This matter was over, and Pingyuanjun called Zhao Chengping to the front alone, and asked, "Do you like Yueji?" ”
"No, no, no, no!" Zhao Chengping felt that the next sentence was "Dare to cuckold me, I will kill you." ”
Ping Yuanjun could say the next sentence, which made Zhao Chengping feel even more frightened.
"Would you like to give her to you?"
