Chapter 276: Ten Thousand Pictures of the Society
Even if he was personally treated by the old immortal Zhou Yi, but after a hard fight with the whole world, Chen Xikang's trauma was more than just a broken muscle, if it weren't for the Qianyang vitality to protect his heart, under the blow of the Jiang Shenzi in the Changling Dao, whether Chen Xikang could survive is still a matter of words.
But although he resisted Jiang Shenzi's blow at the beginning, Chen Xikang also lost half his life, so even if so many days passed, Chen Xikang could only live like a normal person, even if he used his sword eight moves, he could only do it tangible and unintentional.
And knowing that he couldn't do anything now, Chen Xikang didn't get nervous about the affairs in Jiangnan, and after telling the Changyan family the news that Changyan Yaoyue was rescued by himself, he left Changyan Yaoyue in the house.
It was not that he deliberately wanted to leave Changyan behind to threaten the Changyan family, but Chen Xikang was not at ease about handing over Changyan Yaoyue to the Changyan family to guard now.
Although he knew that his act of leaving Yaoyue in the mansion would cause a lot of suspicion, Chen Xikang didn't care about that.
Anyway, he has already taken on the name of a chaotic minister and thief, and Chen Xikang is not afraid of being disgusted and slandered again, as for what kind of dispute will occur between Sinong Shaoqing and Han Emperor Song Heng because he left Yaoyue, Chen Xikang doesn't want to care.
Now Chen Xikang is just quietly painting, making a picture scroll called Sheji Wantu.
When he left the western region to practice, Chen Xikang once told Chen Wanqing that when he returned home again, he would make a picture scroll called Sheji Wantu, in which he had seen the great rivers and mountains and human characters, as well as his own hardships and fun.
Sheji's ten thousand pictures paint the world, but only in Chen Xikang's heart and eyes.
Seeing that Chen Xikang was bored and actually started painting, Wu Yemei also became interested, and while providing him with paint and brush and ink, she also quietly admired Chen Xikang's paintings.
The Sheji Wantu contains all kinds of Shura, which can not be painted in a day or two, and because Chen Xikang does not simply paint with a pen dipped in ink when he paints, but integrates his own kendo and integrates it into the painting scroll to paint, so it is more time-consuming.
But it is precisely because Chen Xikang is so concerned about Sheji Wantu that the Sheji Wantu, which has gradually taken shape at this time, has given Wu Yemei a unique sense of amazement!
For the amazing scene that appeared on the picture scroll, when it was real and extremely ethereal, Wu Yemei's heart was also a little uneasy.
However, she didn't make a noise to disturb the people in the painting, Wu Yemei at this time just watched quietly, but as the picture scroll gradually took shape, Wu Yemei also found that the so-called Sheji Wantu seemed to be a picture scroll that recorded Xikang's experience in the past two years.
At the beginning of the scroll, there is a green dress outside Chang'an City, when Xikang "young spring shirt thin, riding a horse leaning on the railing, attracting the building full of red sleeves." And behind the young man was an imposing army, and a sharp handstand sword could be seen from the banner raised in the middle of the army.
The young man in fresh clothes and angry horses is Chen Xikang, and the army is the army of inverted sword banners that belong to the western region, although it is a painting, it is all formed by brush and ink, but Wu Yemei feels that everyone on the picture scroll is very clear and expressive, especially Xikang on the high horse, who actually gives herself a feeling that he will come out of the picture scroll in the next moment.
I asked out of curiosity before, so Wu Yemei knew that it was after Xikang integrated kendo into the painting that made the picture scroll so vivid.
The picture shifted from Chen Xikang riding into Chang'an to the scene of the Chaoyuan Meeting, and when he saw the stunning beauty with a bright red on the picture scroll, attracting countless people around him to either look at it, or peek at it, or a girl, Wu Yemei's face gradually stretched with a smile.
Wu Yemeiyan couldn't see that the red dress on the picture scroll was painted of herself who entered the Daming Palace in Chang'an to participate in the Chaoyuan Meeting, but when she saw her demeanor on the picture scroll, and her eyebrows were clear, there was a group of suppleness and a few folds that were clear, Wu Yemei's heart became even sweeter.
The more perfect he painted, the more he cared about himself.
For her favorite person who cares about herself so much, Wu Yemei feels that this is definitely the happiest thing in the world.
And when Wu Yemei was happy because of herself on the scroll, she used ink of different colors and lusters, and wrote very smoothly next to Wu Yemei's portrait on the scroll, "Mei Dai won the daylily color, and the red skirt was jealous of the pomegranate flower." When such a poem is written, it is like the finishing touch, and the people on the scroll suddenly "come to life"!
After feeling the majestic fluctuations of true qi on the body of the person who was obviously following him just now, and knowing that Xikang had worked his portrait, after thinking that Chen Xikang's move was a preference for herself, Wu Yemei could no longer bear the happiness and joy in her heart.
When the soft touch appeared on the face, it was accompanied by a little moist feeling, and when he was seriously painting, he was about to add a little fairy rhyme and aura to Mei'er's portrait at this time, so as to better show her unique softness and stunning appearance, when the sudden feeling on his face also made Chen Xikang slightly stunned.
Turning his head and glancing at the people around him who were looking at him with a happy face, Chen Xikang was helpless, but he also smiled slightly.
Sure enough, the woman has been pregnant for more than three years, and she has been a little abnormal since she fell in love. ”
After muttering so much in his heart, considering the great heroes of Sheji Wantu, Chen Xikang did not squeeze his eyebrows with Wu Yemei, but continued to devote himself to his own painting.
After painting the amazement when he first saw Wu Yemei, Chen Xikang began to work on the picture of the full recovery of the founding prince in the Daming Palace under the fury of the founding prince, and the domineering suppression and killing of the half-way people under the obstruction of countless Jiang Shenzi.
Seeing that Chen Xikang didn't talk to him, and knew that people at this time needed to devote themselves to the picture scroll, Wu Yemei didn't bother anymore, just watched quietly from the side, but her eyes were always full of amazement.
Sometimes he gives his own sword path into the picture scroll, sometimes he uses the technique of Dao Jiu to add charm and vitality to the characters and scenes in the picture scroll, and even more, Chen Xikang also integrates the sword intent of the old immortal sword into the picture scroll.
Not only these, anyway, as long as it is what he has learned and understood, Chen Xikang has simply integrated into the Sheji Wantu, in order to make the Sheji Wantu more full of aura.
And when Chen Xikang was quietly drawing his own picture of society at home without distractions, in Jiangnan, because his youngest daughter was rescued safe and sound, Sinong Shaoqing also returned home from Chang'an.
However, although the heart that was tightly clenched was relaxed, there was still no smile on Si Nong Shaoqing's face at this time.
This time, it was not only Changyan Hongguang and Changyan Mound who came back from Chang'an, but also Changyan Linghuan, the boss of the Changyan family, came back with the two, because this time the Changyan family has really gone to an extremely dangerous situation, if the choice is wrong, it may not be able to afford it in the future!
"Dad, won't Chen Xikang agree to let us go to the west to see Yaoyue?" After a short silence, the eldest son, Linghuan, also spoke in a heavy tone.
Since Changyan Yaoyue was brought back to the West by Chen Xikang, the Changyan family has repeatedly proposed to take Changyan Yaoyue back, but Chen Xikang refused, and considering that Chen Xikang would not make a move against Yaoyue, the Changyan family did not choose to act excessively.
"There has been no reply to the letter sent to the West since the first one. It is estimated that Chen Xikang no longer has expectations for our family, anyway, what he cares about from beginning to end is not our Changyan family at all, but Yaoyue alone. ”
Thinking of Chen Xikang's indifference to himself, as well as the attitude of Emperor Song Heng of the Han Dynasty towards the Changyan family, Changyan Hongguang also said with a sense of loss, the whole person seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and he was much older than before.
In the midst of the current difficulties, most of the places have been taken over by the army ordered from Chang'an, which is called consolidating the protection of Jiangnan to avoid the sudden army of the western region, in fact, it is just to use a relatively gentle method to elevate the power of the Changyan family in Jiangnan.
For the Changyan family, Song Heng has already become suspicious, thinking that it may rebel, turn to the west, and give up the land south of the Yangtze River!
"Dad, big brother, Emperor Han continues to mobilize troops from all over the country to come to Jiangnan, obviously no longer trusting our Changyan family, if we wait until Emperor Han adjusts the Quartet, and finally adjusts enough troops to guard Jiangnan, then our Changyan family will be gone. At that time, whether it is to take refuge in the west or to show loyalty to the Han Emperor, terror will not be taken seriously. ”
"We have to make a choice now! choose to follow the Western Frontier, or choose to follow the Han Emperor with all their hearts!"
Seeing that his father and eldest brother looked sad, Chang Yanzuka's face was ruthless and he said decisively.
By now, the father and son of the Changyan family all know that they can't drag it out any longer, otherwise the Changyan family will really have nothing!
"Dad, what do you think of the second brother's words?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, at this time, the father and son almost all had their own decisions in their hearts, so they almost said it and then chose a method that all three of them could approve of.
Changyan Hongguang is the father, and the two heirs at this time decided to listen to their opinions first.
"The strength of the West is not weak, and Chen Xikang has gradually shown the qualifications to compete with the Han Emperor, but after all, the West is a chaotic minister and thief, rare to the hearts of the people, and the name is not right, when competing with the Han Emperor in the future, it is indispensable to suffer losses in this regard, if the West Hammer Incident ends in failure, the family is ruined and killed, and even under the Nine Clans, our Changyan family is really gone. ”
Knowing that Linghuan and Tsuka'er intended to listen to their thoughts first, and then weighed them again in their hearts, Changyan Hongguang also said what he thought in his heart.
With the current half of Jiangnan to take refuge in the west, let Yaoyue and Chen Xikang marry, although the treatment and status are definitely higher than the current one, but considering that the west is a traitor at the end, Changyan Hongguang does not think that the west will win the world in the end.
"Dad's words are indeed true, but now our family's hesitant attitude towards the situation in the world has made the Han Emperor dissatisfied, at this time, the Han Emperor even suspected of isolating our family because Yaoyue and Chen Xikang were too close, and intended to empty and replace our family's position in the south of the Yangtze River, not to take refuge in the west, if you are loyal to the Han Emperor, I am afraid that there will be no good errands for our family in the future. ”
Changyan Hongguang's voice fell, and the eldest son, Changyan Lingxuan, also spoke in a heavy tone.
There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. Now the Changyan family has put a question mark in the heart of Emperor Han, if you want to be valued as before, it is difficult to go to the sky.
The heart of the emperor, the most unbearable thing is suspicion!
"In the trend of history, there has never been a shortage of ambitious people, but how many people can succeed in rebellion? ”
"Now it may be too late to show loyalty to Emperor Han, but it is definitely not without a chance, I think my father is right, the west is not worth taking refuge into, even if the current west has the strength to compete for the world, but after all, it has stood on the opposite side of the righteousness. ”
The father and son all expressed their thoughts in their hearts, but except for Changyan Linghuan, who had been by Song Heng's side for the longest time, he felt that it was better to take refuge in the west, and the other two all thought that choosing to be loyal to Song Hengbiao was the most suitable for the future survival of the Changyan family.
"It's better to die than to live, at this time to show loyalty to the Han Emperor, although the status of our Changyan family will plummet, but after all, our family is a generation of old ministers, and the Han Emperor will not snub us too much, otherwise the minds of the old ministers will be cold, and they will lose their support. ”
"Let's decide like this, I'll find a time to go to Daming Palace once, and take the initiative to let out the land south of the Yangtze River, as for Yaoyue, Chen Xikang cares about Yaoyue so much, it won't be dangerous, as long as Yaoyue is happy, stay in the west, stay in the west. ”
In desperation, with a compromise on the cruel reality, after making a decision in this way, Changyan Hongguang also said in a heavy tone.
Suddenly let go of Jiangnan, the fertile soil that he has operated all his life, Changyan Hongguang can not be sad, but what Changyan Hongguang doesn't know is that something more desperate than this is still to come!
The heart of an emperor, how can a person who is a minister be able to understand it thoroughly?
What Changyan Hongguang said is not wrong, the Changyan family is indeed the home of the old ministers, and the Han Emperor Song Heng will not treat the Changyan family well, but Changyan Hongguang forgot to think about it, and it is also the most important point among today's strong men!
Among the strong men, there are definitely a lot of old ministers like the Changyan family, if everyone is like Sinong Shaoqing, always hesitating between the pros and cons, and only at the last moment does he choose to serve himself loyally, then how can Song Heng fight with Xichen and Xiadu, just beware of being stabbed by his own people suddenly in turn is enough for Song Heng to suffer!
So for the Changyan family, Song Heng finally chose to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!
For the emperor, the disloyal person is already the greatest mercy to be exempted from capital crimes.
