The people of the capital love to watch the excitement the most, especially among the literati.

The news that Li Xiuyuan painted a picture of a real dragon on the lakeside painting table did not need to be deliberately disseminated, but it was just discussed casually, but everyone who traveled on the Shangyuan Festival had heard of it, and the interested literati naturally did not even have the mood to chant poetry, so they came directly to take a look.

And when they came, they found that this place had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

After a little further inquiry, it was all about Li Xiuyuan's ability to communicate with his paintings.

The powerful and wealthy businessmen were asking around, expressing their willingness to ask for paintings, hoping that Li Xiuyuan would be willing to paint.

Some people are also discussing who Li Xiuyuan is in this capital?

But after some discussion, some people also said Li Xiuyuan's identity, knew that he was the assassin of Yangzhou, and this time he went to Beijing to report on his work, and also knew that he was the one who put down the rebellion of the King of Jiushan last year.

But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan didn't know this.

He just dried the ink after finishing the picture of the sleeping dragon and gave it to Zhao Jing: "The third prince, the real dragon picture has been drawn, but now it should be called the sleeping dragon picture is more appropriate, this painting is better to show less in front of people, although the real dragon is sleeping, but after all, it has been channeled, if it is not that day."

Be careful to wake it up, this sleeping dragon is at risk of escaping. ”

"Well, I'll have to keep it safe. Zhao Jing exclaimed.

Zhu Qian, who was on the side, sighed, "Painting can be spiritual, and the fake becomes true, the old man has finally opened his eyes today, and it is no regret to be able to see such painting skills in this life." ”

"Zhu Fuzi's words are serious, but it's just a little trick for entertainment, what's it. Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly.

What's the use of his paintings, no matter how good they are?

Neither can govern the country and the country, and can not clear the universe, it is really just a picture of a music, even if the painting can be channeled, but the things drawn are not as real as the real thing, if the painting of a dragon can really become a real dragon, then the real dragon in this world is not valuable.

Zhu Qian shook his head slightly and said: "This kind of skill has surpassed that of Zhang Sengqiu, Yan Liben, and Wu Daozi...... Now those calligraphy and painting have been made ancient, you are the only one in the present dynasty, once your reputation spreads, you are the first painter of the Great Song Dynasty, enough to start a sect, and leave a history

name, for posterity to preach. ”

"That's not a trivial trick. ”

Isn't it fame that scholars are looking for?

And Li Xiuyuan can reach the point that all scholars dream of by relying on this hand-drawn painting skill, how can this not make people feel emotional.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Preaching with calligraphy and painting can only be regarded as a small way, where can it be compared to the science of Zhu Shengren who taught all the people back then." ”

Science?

Zhu Qian, as the grandson of Zhu Shengren, was not only overjoyed when he heard this, but his expression was a little lost, and his eyes dimmed, as if the word science touched some kind of inner pain.

"The third prince, since this Li Gongzi's sleeping dragon picture is not within the scope of the review, then the time is not too early now, why not let the rest of the scholars send the painting, and let the old man comment one or two, so as to choose the first to end today's review. ”

Suddenly, he turned to say.

Zhao Jing patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this." ”

Because of the quarrel between Li Xiuyuan and Qin Yong, this original competition for painting turned into a demonstration of his personal painting skills, which was a bit contrary to his original intention.

"But with Li Gongzi's pearl in front, I'm afraid that no matter who wins the first place, I'm afraid that I will be deeply ashamed in my heart. Zhao Jing shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty who can compare to Li Gongzi's painting skills." ”

"Painting skills that are close to magic are not painting skills, and they are not accepted by the world. Li Xiuyuan said: "The third prince should continue to be in charge, and it is not good to stay here for a long time when he looks at the sky and is a little late, so as not to affect the third prince's daughter's desire to paint, so he will leave now." ”

"What do you mean by this? As soon as you and I see each other, how can we just leave, as soon as this matter is finished today, this prince will definitely have a good banquet for Li Gongzi, in order to thank Li Gongzi for his gift of paintings, and please Li Gongzi not to shirk. Zhao Jing said sincerely.

When Li Xiuyuan was about to shirk.

Suddenly, he saw a red reflection on the surface of Longyin Lake, and the red light reflected it, enveloping the pedestrians on the entire lakeside.

It's just that everyone was watching him paint before, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned, he looked there, and couldn't help but point to the other side of Longyin Lake, "Third Prince, there is a red light shining there, and there is a noisy sound, is there a fire?"

Zhao Jing thought that Li Xiuyuan deliberately changed the topic, he glanced at it and was about to smile and say that it was okay, but when he saw the red light there reflecting the red sky, his face suddenly changed: "It seems that there is indeed a fire, go, go to the south of the city to see what the situation is over there." ”

"Yes, Third Prince. The guard answered, and immediately clenched his fists and left.

At this time, everyone was talking.

"It can't really be a fire, oh my God, such a big fire, it lights up the night. ”

"If there is a fire, this fire is not simple, but I am afraid that several streets will suffer. ”

"It's a fire, I saw someone running this way before, look, look, someone ran to Longyin Lake in a panic to fetch water, this is to put out the fire." ”

When they talked about it, they all exclaimed in surprise when they reacted.

When the capital caught fire, whether it was a scholar or a literati, a dignitary, or a peddler or a pawn, they were all afraid of it.

Because the fire is merciless, no one dares to guarantee that the fire will not reach their own home.

After a while, the guard ran over and said loudly: "Third prince, it's not good, the fire in the south of the city, and it has burned to the west of the city, the fire is at least ten times bigger than the last time, and the six gates are fast catching, and the patrol soldiers and the Yaksha general are all leading people to extinguish the fire." ”

"It's really on fire, no, my home is in the south of the city. ”

"My wife and children will be fine. ”

"Quick, go and see. ”

The frightened faces of the crowd changed greatly, and they ran to the south of the city again and again.

For a while, I watched the lively people and beasts scatter.

Even those who did not reach their own homes should rush back to protect their families, lest it be too late when the fire comes.

The panic of the people also intensified the panic of the people's hearts.

Zhao Jing was already anxious at this time: "This, how many houses in the capital have been burned by such a big fire, why is this good .....and decent person like this?"

"Brother Li, the dart game you live in is in the south of the city, won't it also burn down. Suddenly, Zhang Bangchang reminded.

"It's possible. ”

Li Xiuyuan's eyes froze, feeling that this matter was a little strange.

The fire came so suddenly, so quickly, that it was obviously impossible to start a fire accidentally.

And I live in the south of the city, and the fire is burning in the south of the city, is there any connection to this?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think today's Shangyuan Festival visit can only end here, the fire is merciless, everyone go back to see the safety of their relatives at home, I will also go to the south of the city to see what the situation is, and we will get together again after this matter subsides. Li Xiu said from afar.

Zhao Jing immediately said: "I have a thousand-mile horse to give to Li Gongzi." ”

"The kindness of the third prince is in my heart, but I already have a mount, so it's not good to win people's love anymore. Li Xiuyuan took out a somewhat old painting scroll.

When I spread it out, it was a dragon horse leaping on the paper, lifelike, like a living thing.

"This is ......," Zhao Jing was shocked.

Zhu Qian immediately saw the seal in one corner of the ancient painting, and immediately said: "This is the true work of Zhang Shengqian, the dragon horse picture." ”

But before the words were finished, the dragon horse on the dragon horse diagram jumped out and fell to the ground, turning into a tall and mighty dragon horse.

"Zhang Sengqiu's dragon horse map is also alive. Zhu Qian's eyes shrank.

If Li Xiuyuan can make painting psychic, he can think that it is just a skill close to magic, but the same is true of Zhang Sengqiu's real works, then I have to admit that this kind of painting skill does exist in the world, and Li Xiuyuan is not the only one who has reached this point, maybe from ancient times

There are many people who have reached it today.

It's just that the world doesn't accept it, and it feels too absurd, so it can't be spread.
