Yang Qi slapped Shangguan Yun on the back and laughed: "Good boy! ha......"

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "I thought that the two people who were King Kang had offended a lot, and today's kindness, this king will definitely be rewarded." Whatever you want, whatever the king is within his power, he shall not accept it, but he shall give him a great reward, but he shall open his mouth. ”

Ke Qingqing shook his head and said: "We are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, we are used to wandering freely, and glory and wealth are dispensable." ”

Shangguan Yun said: "We just want to get out of the palace as soon as possible, please let the prince let the two of us go back, by the way, and our horses." ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Okay, this king is not reluctant, I will arrange for someone to send you out of the palace." ”

Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi said goodbye and returned to Dongting Lake without mentioning it.

Shangguan Yun, Ke Qingqing and Zhao Huan returned to Ren'an Palace, and Zhao Huan asked the palace maid to bring a lot of pearls and gems, and they would reward the two of them no matter what. Ke Qingqing couldn't refuse, picked up a pearl-inlaid chisel phoenix silver hairpin, and picked a piece of emerald beast head jade pendant for Shangguan Yun, and Zhao Huan arranged for a little eunuch to take the two to the stable to lead the horses.

The little eunuch led the way with a palace lamp, and from time to time there were patrolling guards to inquire, Shangguan Yun and Ke Qingqing followed closely behind the little eunuch, for fear of being regarded as an assassin.

I don't know how far I walked around, and the three of them came to the sandwich between the two palace walls, and there were many fewer guards patrolling, not like before, three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post.

Turning a corner, a group of guards came from the opposite side, about a dozen or so. When the little eunuch saw it, he hurriedly lowered his hands and stood by the side of the road, Shangguan Yun and Ke Qingqing also did the same, waiting for the side of the road, waiting for the team of guards to pass.

The group of guards approached, but they didn't ask for the password, and walked straight over. The three of them were feeling strange, and suddenly, a dozen or so guards pulled out their steel knives in unison, and in the blink of an eye, they slashed at the three of them.

Shangguan Yun saw the bright sword light, and hurriedly took two steps back, although his martial arts were low, he still barely avoided it. Looking at Ke Qingqing again, he was fighting with two guards, and the little eunuch had already been cut into several sections.

These guards are all good hands in the palace, and the two of them are surrounded by groups, where can they escape.

didn't fight a few moves, Ke Qingqing's Qiu Yu was cut to only a small half, Shangguan Yun was almost cut off his head, and he also received a few kicks on his body.

Ke Qingqing saw that the situation was critical, and said loudly: "Brother Yun, it must be Zhao Gou who sent someone to kill us, how can this be good?"

Shangguan Yun was also anxious, how could his martial arts be low, it was difficult to protect himself, where could he get out of the encirclement? At this time, a guard slashed at him again, and as soon as Shangguan Yun turned around, he felt that the things in his arms were in the way, and it was actually the package that Zhong Xiangfang had just returned to him. These guards suddenly moved, and after the attack, Shangguan Yun panicked again, and actually forgot what he was in his arms, so when did he not have to stay at this time?

The night was dark, the situation was critical, and Shangguan Yun couldn't tell which was the poison and which was the antidote, so he shouted Qingqing to be careful, and raised his hand to shake the package open.

Ke Qingqing comprehended, slashed two palms in a row to force the guards in front of him to retreat, and retreated to the side.

The vials and cans in the package all flew out, crackling and shattering, and the antidote to poison powder was scattered everywhere, and a few guards got a little closer, and they fell to the ground and wailed, and the rest of them quickly retreated when they saw this.

Shangguan Yun picked up Ke Qingqing and fled, and several guards chased after him for a while, and finally lost the two of them.

The two of them panicked, and wanted to avoid the patrolling guards, so they wandered around the palace, gradually reaching a sparsely populated place. I saw a high wall in front of me, and under the high wall there was a small hidden door, and there was no guard guarding it.

Ke Qingqing said happily: "Brother Yun, can you go out of the palace there?"

"Let's go and see first, I don't know where the snow is, or I can take it with me. In his heart, he was reluctant to step on such a divine horse as snow.

Ke Qingqing said disappreciatively: "When we go out, we will come back in a few days." ”

This palace is not a market or a restaurant, so how can you come and leave if you want? Not to mention daring to come to the palace to ask for things, Shangguan Yun will not say anything, lest Ke Qingqing be unhappy when he hears it.

The two walked into the small door, and by the faint light, they saw that there was a chic courtyard within the high wall, and there was no way out of the palace. There is no one in the courtyard, it seems to be a deserted place, the courtyard is clean and tidy, there is not even a single weed, obviously someone has cleaned it.

Shangguan Yun quietly investigated, there was no one in the courtyard, he and Ke Qingqing came to the main hall, but there was still no one.

There were no tables or chairs in the hall, and the walls and rooms were full of portraits of young girls, no less than two hundred.

The posture and demeanor of the girls in the painting are different, or sitting and contemplative, or dancing, or laughing, or full of sadness, strangely, the girl in the painting is the same person,

The girl was born extremely beautiful, without any fireworks in the world, Shangguan Yun and Ke Qingqing saw it, and they both secretly sighed that there was such an otherworldly character in the world. These portraits are extremely realistic, and the girl in the painting looks like a fairy, and the two of them can't help but be stunned.

The two of them followed the portraits on the wall, looked down one by one, and gradually came to the depths of the hall.

Shangguan Yun immediately wanted to retreat, but Ke Qingqing grabbed him and said softly, "Brother Yun, that person seems to be in the painting." ”

Sure enough, it was another portrait of a young girl, and the two came closer, and this portrait was different from the others.

Although all the portraits are painted of the same person, the other portraits are densely hung together, but this one is hung alone, and it is obvious that this portrait is very precious to the owner.

I saw the girl in the painting smiling but not smiling, standing next to a blooming pink peony, with two white jade ruyi hairpins on her head, wearing a white dress and white skirt, stepping on a pair of embroidered shoes with pink and blue backgrounds, holding the sword behind her back in her right hand, and her left hand seemed to be going to catch the butterfly on the peony flower. Although this girl's face is only slightly powdered, it makes her even more beautiful and elegant, and extraordinary.

In the blank space of the portrait, a poem is inscribed in the thin gold font that prevailed in the world, which is "Don't Think" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Yiqingxiang, only to see that it reads:

The ten-mile long pavilion is full of frost, and the green silk and white hair are all over the year.

There is no regret in this life, and there is a fate in the next life.

The smile is like a flower, and the face is like water.

The love is thick and faint, and the Pengshan dance is free.

The two read word for word, and it is known that this is the portrait owner reminiscing about the past time with the girl in the painting, and telling the lovesickness of today, and finally looking forward to the scene of meeting the girl.

At the end of the poem, there are a few words inscribed - Yiyi people dance swords and butterflies.

Looking at the girl in this painting, Shangguan Yun felt uncomfortable, as if someone was looking at him. He looked around, but there was no one there, so he asked softly, "Qingqing, don't you think someone is watching us?"

Ke Qingqing also felt this way, she nodded, and whispered: "Don't make a noise, when we take advantage of his inattention, and then suddenly turn around, we will definitely find that person." ”

The two pretended to look at the portrait again, but the corner of their eyes was behind them, and they looked at it for a long time, but there was no movement.

Ke Qingqing inadvertently glanced at the portrait, and with a sigh, she took two steps to the left, and with another sigh, she smiled and said, "Brother Yun, I know what's going on." ”

Shangguan Yunqi said, "What did you find?"

Ke Qingqing pointed to the girl in the painting and said with a smile: "You try to look at her eyes, and then take two steps left and right." ”

Shangguan Yun did as she said, the girl in the painting seemed to have a pair of real eyes, where people go, she looked wherever she went, and she couldn't hide from her gaze. Where had Shangguan Yun ever seen such a superb skill, and asked, "Qingqing, what's going on?"

Ke Qingqing thought for a while and said: "I heard my grandfather say that when the Emperor of the Dynasty Daojun was very fond of the technique of danqing, he actually came up with the method of lacquer eyesight, according to this method, it can make the eyes of the characters more realistic. This woman's eyes must be made of raw lacquer, which is as vivid as a real person, this painting must have been painted by Emperor Daojun himself, but I don't know who this woman is and where she is now. When she said the back, there was a little melancholy and a little disappointment in her voice, as if she wanted to see what this girl really looked like.

Shangguan Yun nodded as if he had realized something, and sighed: "I don't want Emperor Daojun to govern the country very well, but he can draw this hand well, he was born to be the emperor's order, and I don't know if it is his blessing or the disaster of the world." ”

Ke Qingqing liked this painting more and more, and she liked the girl in the painting more and more, she looked at the girl for a while, and read a few lines of poetry for a while, and she was fascinated, Shangguan Yun saw that she liked it, so she quietly accompanied her.

The two of them carefully observed the portrait of the girl in the hall, and they forgot where they were, and they didn't realize that an elegant middle-aged man in his forties and an old eunuch came to the back of the hall.
